vintage Jeni

My friend Jeni posted this video nearly a year ago on her blog. My kids reminded me of it recently and we have re-visited Jeni's post and watched it several times. Even Little Odie gets in on the singing along, his favorite part to imitate is the base jumper yelling "BOOM DEE AH DAH!"...(let's hope he gets over that phase before we go to Goblin Valley this week.) Anyway, it was a real crowd pleaser on Jeni's blog, I thought I'd remind those of you who saw it then, and share it with those of you didn't! It's awesome.

a few random queries


I've had a few things bouncing around my head the past week or two. Thought I'd share, for lack of a better post at this time.
First of all, I am on a quest for a better yogurt. I liked yogurt when I was a child. My mom bought the kind with fruit on the bottom, and I would eat the top of it. I don't love fruit, especially chunks of it in my yogurt. As a mother, I buy yoplait, which my kids really love. I don't like it, I think it's too sweet. I actually discovered in this quest that I like greek yogurt. It is hardly sweet at all, more like what you would find in a sippy cup of milk that got left in the car. HA! Greek yogurt is a little too expensive for regular consumption, though, compared to what I'm used to buying. I did try Wallaby (I think) and really liked it, but what are my other options? What kind of yogurt do you all prefer? (Jeni, I know you do yoplait...)
Let's see, what else? We need a new computer, for a number of reasons that I won't elaborate on at this time. Let's just say this one has been the raspberry seed in my wisdom tooth for too long. Brandon wants a Mac SO bad, but I think just because they look cool. Neither of us know much about computers at all. I am kind of against the mac, because the kids learn pc stuff at school. What do you guys all have/prefer? And what are the pros and cons of a laptop?
Another thing, won't it be nice when Angie b gets back from her dream vacation? I miss her comments in the blog world, plus I'm jealous of her.
Is it bad manners to read a blog and never comment on it?
And don't you think cold weather interspersed with the sunny days make the sunny ones even more pleasant? The old "opposition in all things", I guess...I love spring. :)
