Only for chicken lovers



Well, right now it is almost 2am and I have to be at the radio station to learn how to work the morning talk shows at 5am. I'm kind of wired even though I woke up at 8am this morning. I will definately be up for over 24 hours (what is now becoming a regular occurance, but enough whining) before I go to sleep. We're excited this week because we have some friends coming in to visit. Jen's friends from high school, Kathleen, Ingrid, and possibly Sharon. I'm really impressed at how well they keep up with each other, yet don't smother each other. Plus it is always fun when I'm the only guy in a room full of beautiful women :) (Jaden and Javin aren't men yet, but will definately have the girls' attention). So it will be fun driving back and forth to the airport and hanging out. I love catching up with friens, just so you know, if you are friends of my wife, I inherited you as my friends in marraige...sucker.

Jana apparently has become lil miss cute and reverent at church. Jen and I have been really proud of her. She sits so still and quiet it's amazing. Jaden is a little bit more raucous but not too bad. Jen and I are struggling to help him learn patience. Poor kid gets so upset when things don't go his way and if he ever loses any game, get ready for the waterworks. Javin is still the little goof. His new thing now is putting his head on the floor and sticking a leg in the air while saying "cool, cool tricks!" We really want to take the kids somewhere but Javin absolutely hates being in the car. Since we have a Prius, his screaming sounds like it's right in your ear.

Poor Jaden felt rejection by a girl for the first time the other day. This little girl named Isabella is in his class and he asked her to marry him but she said she was marrying someone else. Poor kid, and he hasn't forgotten it yet. He still brings it up. But I was quick to remind him he was supposed to marry Twila Stout. That way, he never has to date, just get married. We even have an arrangement with between Jana and Christian Otero. Now we just need to find Javin a wife and we have the whole dating problem solved!

I also had a GREAT remote last friday at Stripes, a gas station, for 106.3 the Buzz. I had a slush drinking contest to see who could drink a 32 oz slush in 4 minutes, no one did, and a sno-ball eating contest. I had a blast messing with people. I hate just sitting there doing nothing. My take on live remotes is that the DJ needs to interact with everyone, play games and mess with them so that people will want to come out. Apparently, I impressed the right people and I will hopefully have some more remotes coming my way. They pay good, so I'm excited. I'm especially thankful for Aaron, my bro-in-law, because he hooked me up with a chance to talk to the right people at the station to get the job in the first place. And thanks to him, and Heavenly Father, I actually have a job i LOVE to go to and do.
