Two-Faced-Book.com

So sorry to hijack Mom's post, but we decided to check out Facebook.com to see how many of our family members were signed up. Well, we saw Trevor's profile, Kim's profile, Nick's profile, and Chad's profile.

But one thing we're kind of confused about is why Jen has two profiles on there.



The picture above showed up under the name Jennifer Tustison, as did the picture below.



Can anybody shed any light on this?

Progenitor

Well, that explains a lot. I have the answer to many of your questions regarding which side of the family certain characteristics have sprung from. I learned something this weekend that has set me free and I wish to impart that to you.
Aunt Elaine has been really involved in geneology of late. She informed me that my 28th great grandmother is no other than...........LADY GODIVA!!!!

One semester of spanish love song

I know I'm cutting in on Chad's blog, but looking at my record, no one'll take a second glance at mine. So, Chad, you're in the clear.

Just wanted to show this video. Would my dating life reach a new low if I did this on a date?

Rise all loyal cougars.........

With the big sports weekend we’ve had, I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to make mention of them, especially since I saw both on TV.

Two big games on Saturday, BYU vs. Utah football game and BYU basketball vs. #1 North Carolina.  I am also first in my work fantasy football league in case you're keeping track at home.  The BYU football team won a close one against Utah that rivaled last year’s comeback.  Most of you probably watched it or listened to it.  However, some of you may have missed the basketball game since it was later, so I am offering my ramblings whether you like it or not.

By the way, this is specifically for Mom since she probably didn’t watch the game because she was either:  1) busy celebrating the BYU/Yewtah game with Mary Juana 2) curled up nervously in the shed, or 3) taking the beach cruiser around the block.

So for Mom’s benefit and anyone else’s, I wrote down some observations during the game.

Before I get to the bball game, I feel the need to get something off my chest, especially considering the end of the Louisville/BYU game on Friday that I watched on byutv.org. Can someone please explain to me why BYU fans were chanting "overrated" at the end of the game? Do fans not realize that when they chant overrated to the team they just beat, they are actually saying that their team isn't really all that good to beat a legitimately ranked 6th team in the nation.  Do fans not realize that they are actually belittling their team's win by chanting overrated?  There has to be some rationale that maybe I'm not seeing.  Please enlighten me.  Anyway, onto the ramblings....

* Pregame – alright, we’ve got Dick Vitale and Pat Shulman announcing the game tonight.  Just heard the over/under for the number of times Dickie V mentions Tyler Hansbourogh as player of the year - 83.  Take the over. 


* There’s more energy in the building than Al Gore’s guest house. (no offense Nick)


* I feel like I’m watching Glory Road, except the opposite.


* Only five minutes in and Vitale mentions the “maturity” of the basketball team.  Apparently 4 players are married, 7 are great uncles, and 2 of them are grandfathers.  During the game I counted at least 5 references to their “maturity” including a graphic with their ages.  According to a sideline reporter, Tavernari is bald because he just turned 43 last week.

* Dick Vitale can’t say enough about Duke and North Carolina.  On a related note, Notre Dame is rumored to be ranked in the top 15 in next year’s preseason football poll.  The more things change…

* Does Tyler Hansborough ever close his mouth?  No, seriously.  That dude has got to have major cottonmouth in the morning… or evening…or whenever.  

* How many times do we have to show Plaisted’s wife in the stands?  Apparently the answer from ESPN2 is 27.

* I never thought I’d ever want to pour boiling Jalepeno juice in my eyes every five minutes.  Thank you VW “sign and drive” commercial.

* Has Dick Vitale ever seen a college player he didn’t like?  Only 5 minutes in the second half and he mentions “next level” and “Plaisted” in the same sentence.  Let’s not get crazy now.  At this point, he’s  a homeless man’s Raef LaFrentz.  Good, but needs more than the “drop-step-lean” and the “eyes-closed mini hook.”  Of course, if he had the turn-around fader like you-know-who, he’d be top 5 pick.  It’s a good thing Plaisted is 38 years old and is mature enough for the rigors of the NBA.

* SAT sample question:  
Nowitzki is to the NBA as __________ is to the NCAA. 
Hint:  starts with “T” ends in “avernari” (not always a good thing)

* Can someone please get Dickie V. a throat lozenge?  No, seriously.

* I still don’t know about Cummard.  Is it just me or does he look like Lance Armstrong’s malnourished younger brother?

* In case you missed it the first 12 times they announced it:  BYU is old.

Overall, great game by the Cougars.  It’s unfortunate that we didn’t score a field goal in the last 6 minutes or so.  I like our chances in the Mountain West this year and dare I say it, we might actually win a major tournament game this year.  Go Cougars.

Ok-Here are some pictures of the beach house. There were too many to send over email. Plus, this gets rid of the poo pictures when you bring up the blog. No offense for those who enjoyed that one. I know most of you don't care, but here is some more info on the house. It has 3 levels. The top story is the master bedroom/bath. The main level houses the living room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. The bottom level has a laundry room and another bedroom.


the family room/dining room-notice the bar behind the couch for our Dr. Pepper.

The Kitchen

Room with King bed/connected bathroom with other bedroom. I'm thinking Kim and Nick's room. Bedroom with King Bed. I'm thinking Chad and Jenn's room

Room with 4 single bunkbeds and Queen bed with connecting bathroom. I'm thinking Clint and Mayka's room.

Upstairs Hall leading to Master Bedroom-the railing looks over the family room

Master bedroom. King bed and Single Bed. Mom and Dads room with aiden probably sleeping in the single bed. I didint fit in a picture of the Master bath but it's pretty big with a shower, jaquizzi tub and double sinks.

Master bedroom looking out towards the balcony

Downstairs bedroom. Queen size bunk beds. I'm thinking Mike and I's room.

Laundry Room-the door there leads to under the house where we can park our cars


Now for the outside view.

Looking at the house from the beach.
This is the view from the master bedroom balcony.
This is on the main balcondy outside the family room and kitchen-notice the porch swing.
this is the barbecue under the house




Well I hope everybody is as excited as I am. If you have any complaints about the place, keep them to yourself, since the deposit has already been made. Yea Tustifiesta!!

Birthday Boy


Oliver turned 2 just a little bit ago, and we were able to find this big-wheel for him. He loves it. We also got him some new shoes from the Vans Outlet.
