Although sometimes I really do think I'm funny, it wasn't me yelling it for 7 minutes in the car.
I drive Chad to and from where his van pool meets every morning and afternoon-at least on the days I need the car. It's about a 7 minute drive. Well, on our way home yesterday Mooch started yelling non-sensical things at us. He then would laugh at whatever joke he had just told. Then he started yelling, "I funny." He would then babble something again, laugh, and yell, "I funny." It was a cycle that could not be broken. By the time we got home we were all giggling with him. What do you know . . . he actually is pretty funny.

Bakery Rock
I've said it before and I'll say it again... I tend to associate music to memories.
So this morning while driving Chad to work at the crack of dawn-- dawn wasn't even remotely ready to crack at 4:30 this morning-- I was scanning through the radio stations. I came across a familiar song and started singing along to it. That's when I realized it was the good old classic rock station.
Before the year 2002, I wasn't a big fan. Don't get me wrong, I love Queen as much as the next person. But I wasn't exactly willing to listen to a classic rock radio station if I had a choice otherwise.
Once upon a time, I really didn't have a choice otherwise. I worked in the BYU-Idaho food services Bakery for three semesters and started--you guessed it-- at the crack of dawn. Two of the full time bakers , Sean and Randy, started baking bread at 1 or 2 in the morning. So when I got to work for my 3 hour shift they were already listening to the classic rock station and had been doing so for 5 hours. Occasionally we'd mutiny and try to take over the radio. But that would usually only last a song or two before Randy switched it back. It was so annoying at the time.
It's funny how now when I hear those songs I like them. I don't know if I was slowly brainwashed or if I just developed a liking for classic rock. Either way every time I hear these songs it puts a smile on my face and makes me think of one awesome job I had during school. Mmmmm the bakery.....

Church Ball
So I've been playing me some Church Ball. Don't ask me why I'm writing like that. It just seemed appropriate when speaking about Church Basketball. But the church ball is taking me back 10 years and not in a good way.
I pretty much stink at basketball. Everyone expects that I can play because I'm tall and because my older brother, Trent, was a basketball phenom. No really, after playing a game I had a teacher come up and ask "Isn't Trent your brother?" I think he was just checking to make sure that the reason I sucked at basketball was because I wasn't from the right family. Ha! Somehow I was a starter my freshmen and sophomore years. I still don't understand that one.
Anyways...
With Church ball, yet again I'm tall and expected to play with a certain level of basketball skills. I can sort-of jump and I can catch a pass, but can I shoot the ball? Not really. Saturday, I shot one over the backboard and it was awesome!
I did totally stuff an old lady. And yes, I am proud of that.
