MJ Fetching

This is a short movie of our cat...who plays like a dog. He loves to play fetch, and will actually go find his ball and bring it to you when he wants to play. Sometimes he will jump onto my chest in the middle of the night and drop the ball on my face, waiting for me to throw it.

Joe and Brookes Movie

This post is just a test to see how the "video posting" works. We shot this video earlier this summer, and have wanted to post it this entire time...but I'm pretty much an idiot and can't follow Jacob (Calvert's) simple instructions!! We had a blast this day and thought this video was hilarious. Enjoy!

For those of you who haven't heard, I helped Dad get a nice System for their television viewing pleasure. Bryan Morrison (my old boss in Seattle) hooked Dad up with a very nice TV and also gave him a great deal on the installation. Here's the finished product:

So I (Parker) dislocated my left pinky playing basketball yesterday. I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty nasty. My pinky was "V" shaped, so I had to reset it, to keep playing. I actually reset it before I realized it was dislocated...almost like a reaction. Anyway, I think it looks pretty cool. Char keeps telling me to ice it, but I like the way it looks.

Parker and I always joke about having a Michael Jordan party....... well we finaly had one! These are a few girls that I play ball with up at the school and they are about as obsessed with M.J. as we are. I busted out my cake decorating skills from when I was a cake decorator at Cold Stone and I must say, the cake didn't turn out bad at all! Anyhow, it was really fun to hang with the girls and watch some college ball.

Mandy sent some new pictures of her beautiful twins. They look so much older from the last time we got to see them. These girls continue to stump the doctors with their good health. The whole Bailey family was cleared to fly to Washington for Christmas, but doctors are unsure what the altitude would do to the babies' heart. Their heart is the only thing that tends to be a concern at this point. We will certianly miss them when we go home. In these pcitrues, Taylor (the one crying) is on the left and Emma is on the right.

Here's a picture of me from a couple of weeks ago. I haven't grown a beard since I was eighteen, so I thought I would take advantage of being off-track and having the liberty to do so for once. It didn't last long 'cause the itching drove me nuts. However, I think it looks pretty nice, I said a-pretty nice!!

Here are some random pictures! The first two are of the cat and my younger sister Shelly. The second is a picture of Rachelle (Shelly's friend) myself and Shelly at big Jud's. Big Jud's is a restaurant where they serve a HUGE burger, fries and a milkshake and if you eat it all (by yourself) you get your picture on the wall. It is really quite disgusting but, it was fun to eat there for one night! The last two pictures are of Shelly and I on her birthday. Parker and I got her that gigantic cocktail ring along with some cute headbands. I thinks she had a pretty good birthday, all her good friends threw her a suprise party at Craigo's, the best pizza joint in town. I will try and get some pictures of Paker on this blog, believe me he's around, just not in the pcitures!

These two photos are from Camp Brinkley. The crazy kid with me is Geoff Bean. In the other picture, you will (those of you who know them) notice: Alex and Blake (the Murray twins), Chris Leavitt, Geoff Bean, Cameron Hilton, Jeff Orgill, and Erik Anderson.

Here's a picture of the Lybbert and Bean (and Ashley Labato) kids at Chelan back in the day. Yeah, those are my favorite shorts of all time.

We adopted a kitty! We named the cat MJ (yes, he was named after Michael Jordan!), and he is 4 months old. Our apartment complex doesn't allow animals unless its for medical reasons. Well, I (Char) have been having some issues and my doctor was kind enough to write us a note. The cat can get a little crazy but, he has been a great addition to our little family!

Char is 22!!!!!! The day was great and Parker spoiled me rotten! Shelly kept Mom's tradition of the candle in the toast by showing up with a piece of bread and an umbrella .....I guess she couldn't find a candle!

We got a new car! The Jetta was coming to the end of its life and this car kind of fell into our lap. Our old neighbor works for a car dealership in town and he gave us a steal of a deal! We are so happy with our new investment. It's a 1997, Infiniti QX4, we love it.

Parker's older sister, Mandy, recently gave birth to conjoined baby girls. They are so beautiful! Emma and Taylor are conjoined from the chest to the belly button and they share a heart and a liver. Although I don't know the exact day they were born, I believe they are just over two months old. They are doing extremely well and we are hopeful to see the whole Bailey family for Christmas!

Here are some pictures of us boating with Aunt Rita and Uncle Jim (Moss). Char is on the Jet Ski, and I was wakeboarding. It was such a blast to get out on the water...finally (I haven't done much boating since before my mission). We went to the Palisades on such a perfect day.

These are pictures from our Wedding that many people have not seen...

This is our first picture:
