Another Update

Here are some pictures. Also, Sadie is up to 4-4, so she is officially a chunker compared to the 3-15 that she bottomed out as.

Moving to Utah Saturday

Hello all, so that you know, I will be moving down to Utah this Saturday. Now, I will need help unloading stuff, but the BYU game begins at 4:00. So, I figure that we all have a BYU party at the Atwoods house and either at halftime or after the game we unload my precious cargo into the place. Who's with me?

I'm BACK!!!

Hello everyone,

I knew you were all worried because I haven't been posting very often. Thanks for all the concern about my well being. Although it has been a while since my little excursion to Costa Rica, I have returned from any outings since then without any visual evidence. Hope you enjoy.

P.S. Shane was right, Costa Rica is like Hawaii, but better.

Brian Kehl

Some good news for cougar fans--Kehl is doing awesome, apparently, at the NYGiants. He had an intercerption yesterday, and the fans all love him more than the previous starter (injured) who may not be the starter anymore. He was splitting time with Kehl before his injury anyway.

Myth or Fact?

Myth or Fact? Does the church support and teach the use of 72 hour emergency preparedness kits? Just a little discussion our bishop had with the church members today in church.

AMAZING COOKIES!

Everyone, you have to check out this website! The cookies are fantastic (We had them at work today). I had the Grassjumper and the Almond Joy Madness.

Even if you don't order any the pictures look good.

And how do you like the name of the picture company?

thirsty?

We just want to know if Kristen had a placenta shake afterwards...

And the winner is...

Sadie Paige Atwood, named after Kristen's great-grandma (Sadona, but called Sadie thankfully) on her mother's side that was best friends with Emily, Kristen's great-grandma on her father's side. Kristen's mom and dad did not know that though until they had been married for a long time. So now the best friends are our two oldest daughters (knowing me, we'll have several more and Joshua will be the lone Y chromosome in the family). Paige is a lovely girl in the ward that we love, and like the name as well.

It's a Girl!

6:45 pm on Oct 17th (Happy B-day present Tonia). Tiny tike at 4lb 7oz and 18 inches long. Perfectly healthy mom (no stitches) and baby and born at home in a birthing tub. No name yet, so give us suggestions.

Re: Urgent Help Needed

Would love to help you--but I am busy with my own concernes. For example:

I am going to play the top defense in the country, which is also the fastest defense I will coach against all year. I think that the screen play is ridiculous, as it is designed to slow down opposing team's defenses--why would I do that? In addition, I am looking for a great running scheme. I have a 245 lb. running back, but I think that quick-hitting dives and traps are stupid, so refuse to do them. Instead, I think that I'll use a zone-rush blocking scheme, which takes about 1.5-2 seconds longer to develop and relies on defenders being slower than the offense.
Lastly, to attack the speed of the defensive backs, I need to think of something. I know the traditional technique involves flodding zones, and making the defender choose between two receivers, but that is foolish. I think I'll continue to run just one receiver in each zone so they can be bracketed by the safteies, thus forcing my quarterback to throw into double coverage.

We are not alone! (3 min)

Urgent Help Needed

Hey everyone. I know you have helped me in the past, but I need your help again. I need to try to find defensive backs that can line up 12 yards off the ball and then get into a quick backpedal on every play, making the 5-7 yard catch impossible to defend. These backs would then have to be able to allow an average receiver from a below-average quarterback to complete a 15 yard pass (on 3rd and 12) and be at least 5-7 yards away when the softly-thrown ball gets there. However, all 40 yard passes from running teams must be able to be covered decently well, but still be allowed to be completed. If anyone knows where I could find these defensive backs, and the coaches that help them learn these fine skills, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you!

Book of Mormon Society Ripe for Destruction:

"Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

Buying Metals

Hey all . . .

So I made my first purchase of silver today

It was interesting and fun to do.

That's all :-)

I pledge allegiance to Goldman Sachs, and to the conspiracy for which it stands, one racket under Paulson, Communist and indivisible, with eviction and poverty for all.

Justifacation

For the past few months, I have been drooling over a new camera. Specifically the Nikon D-90 with the 18-200mm lens with an additional 50mm lens. Just in case you wanted to know.

Well, I recently borrowed a D-80 from a friend and VOILA! Suddenly I think I am an amateur photographer. Anyway, I'm just looking for justification to buy one - and let me tell you it won't take much. So, here are a few shots we took . . .

Humble Pie

Well, for all those I have talked to about our coming baby's gender, I would just like to say that I was way off. Kirk and I went to the doctor yesterday and it is unmistakenly a little boy. Forget about the fact that I knew, even before I was pregnant, that it would be a girl and have been telling everyone that I thought it would be a girl. So now I take it all back. I new it was a boy from the first.
We are still excited though because our boys so far are pretty cute and this one can't help but be the same. Now that I'm excited to have a girl, I told Kirk we wont be waiting as long to have another one after this. By that it might be a whole two years apart. I doubt I can handle another for a while. But, we are still excited and if this were to teach me a lesson, which it hasn't really, I'd learn not to be so sure of myself.
Love to all.

hello

the real question is where did that grass that jonas is sitting on come from? i know that couldn't be our rocky back yard. everythings all right out here, my second counselor in my bishopric is a stockbroker who explained to me exactly why our economy is doomed to go bankrupt, so props to shane for seeing it long before the fact and enlightening us all. i really don't have much to say, but i love you all and will write you next week.

Happy Birthday Baby Jonas!

For your birthday this year, you lucky dog, to get to wear glasses for the next 10 plus years! We love you Baby Jonas! Don't let it get you down, you will just look smarter than everyone else. Right?

The Bailout Holds For Now

So the market was up about 300 points before the "Bailout" vote in the House. As soon as it passed the market dropped and even went negative after the supposed "good news." It's now up again, but all of the newscasters are talking about how crazy the situation is and whether the Bailout will fix anything, anyway.

Just an update :-)

The Way It Is Now

The Way It Was

Livin' the high life!

You may wonder what this marvelous vehicle is: our new van. No, we did not buy this from the new job, but bought it a couple weeks ago and just have not posted it until now. Anyway, it has a completely rebuilt engine and cost about $2700. I know you're all jealous, but who wouldn't be?

My bad. Doug and Jeff both called me. I guess I just couldn't hear it. You guys are awesome and I didn't want everyone to miss out on how great you were. Thanks

Well I guess that didn't work. Nobody called me even though I see that Doug has posted but not called. Joe came home and we found it. I just needed to call him before he came home. Oh well

oh remember, remember

hello everyone I have just lost my phone and I need it so would you please call me right now so that I can find it. I would call it myself but it is lost and I don't have another one to call it. I'm just hopeing that someone will look at this blog in the next five or ten minutes. I know it is a chance but it could happen

Idaho Falls Update

Well, yesterday afternoon, as I was putting the final touches on the stairwell that finishes off our remodel (other than the touch-up paint), I got a phone call from a commercial appraiser down in SLC (Kirk's friend). Anyway, long story short: he offered me a job in Salt Lake and wants me to start November 1st. I told Kristen, and she started to cry. After 2-3 more crying episodes, we have decided that is the best move for us right now, so we will be moving to SLC sometime in the next couple months. Now we just have to sell the house we will finish tonight. Just letting you all know.
