Life with two boys




We are all still adjusting to having another little person in our house. Noah is probably adjusting better than Aaron and me. Brody doesn't sleep much which is making life increasingly difficult. But he is so happy when he is happy. He smiles and talks so much. He loves to be talked to and touched and cuddled. When Noah was his age there were times when he would cry if we held him. He wanted to be set on the ground and left alone. There are lots of new things we are experiencing with Brody.




Noah is doing well. I can tell he is getting to be two because gets so upset about random things. He attempts to throw little tantrums, but he isn't very good at them yet. He loves trains and Finding Nemo. He wakes up every morning saying either, "More cookie," or "Nemo, on!" He loves his Daddy more and more every day. I keep telling him that first Noah loves his Daddy, second, his Grandma George, third, his blanket, and then maybe me somewhere after that.




Days are long and hard sometimes, but so very rewarding. If nothing else, Aaron and I do make beautiful and loving boys.

Angry Husband

Aaron told me this morning that he better see a posting from me about the Fox 13 News discussion. Anyone that knows Aaron, knows that he is a pretty calm guy. He came into our room the other night furious over this American Idol business. I was merely trying to explain to him why the news spent so much time going over the show. He didn't want to hear it. I don't agree that they should report on entertainment issues, but I understand why they do it. That is where their money comes from. I also tried to point out to Aaron that if Fox 13 News had spent that much time reporting on Real Salt Lake we wouldn't have been having the argument. He didn't want to hear that either (because he knows it is true!). I must say though, it was nice to be the calm one during the argument for once.

I Hate Fox 13 News

Kelsey and I had a heated discussion last night about Fox 13 News. She is entitled to her own opinion, as I am equally entitled to my own. Here is the basis of my loathing of Fox 13 News.

American Idol.

I think that any legitamite news agency should report on news. That should be local, national and global news. It is the reason for their existence. If they don't do that, then they are worthless. Fox 13 News has failed to do that for the last few months with their over the top coverage of American Idol. What kind of news agency would devote half of their show to cover a talent show? The answer is a poor one. A silly one. A worthless one.

Kelsey told me that they are only reporting what people want to hear. She also pointed out that American Idol is a multi billion dollar show and money talks in the tv world. If that is the case, then this so called news program is whoring itself out for money and ratings. They have forgotten what they do - report the news. Not silly talent show news, but real life news that is happening in our world. There have been earthquakes, wars, local crimes, national scandals, and who knows what else that Fox 13 News has failed to report on.

If I want entertainment news I will watch Entertainment Tonight. If I want sports news I will watch Sports Center. If I want legitemate news I most certainly will not watch Fox 13 News.












Stupid American Idol. I'm glad the nerd from Utah lost. Maybe they will start reporting the news again.
