I know I’m a little late in putting this up and that Luke and Shelly, and Emily have already embedded it in their blogs, but I at least have a few pictures to add to it.
On my parents 40th Anniversary we held a surprise celebration for them in our backyard. Previously that week I had invited them to join Bonnie and I just for a special dinner. We had everyone park on the street behind us so Mom and Dad wouldn’t see the cars as they pulled up. I brought them through the gate on the side and everyone was hidden behind the fence. I’m not sure about dad, but according to mom’s face she was quite surprised.
The video below is a slide-show that we put together to commemorate their marriage. Big thanks to my little brothers in getting the pictures from mom inconspicuously, and for their help in scanning them all on very short notice.
Also of note is that their 40th anniversary is also 65 years from the day Blaine and Jean got married…and it was Grant’s 9th birthday.
And here are the pictures.

P.S. A few of you have already requested, but if you would like to have a DVD copy of the slideshow just email me.
Over the weekend I finally finished editing the video from the trip my brothers and I took to volunteer for Romney at the Iowa Caucuses. I had blogged extensively about the trip in these two blog posts: 1-2-08 - Postcards from Iowa 1-3-08 - Update from Iowa HQ
These videos may not interest you unless your curious to see what goes on in a tactical volunteer campaign, or you just like anything that has to do with Mitt Romney (or you have a crush on one of my single younger brothers, Aaron and Zach). Just click on the two YouTube videos below to watch.
I was looking through pictures tonight and saw this random one of Nate taken last February. When I got to December’s pictures, I was surprised to see this one of Jared. If you look closely, you’ll notice more similarities than just the goofy faces…… like father, like son I guess.
