Screwwwp-Screwwwwwwwwp!

This is most important. This is most important. This is most important. This is most important. This is most important. No matter how many times I tell myself the hours of work and school are for the benefit of my family, I still can't convince myself. I look back and find that they seem to be the only ones suffering... Work gets my attention all day and my thoughts at night. School gets my attention at night and my thoughts during the day. Where do I put what is most important? I believe the greatest lesson the Lord taught me in my youth was that if I love something, I will dedicate my life to it or show it. He loves me and so he spent his entire life showing me. No one will convince me otherwise, Lindsay Dawn Chapman is the strongest member of this pair. That is it. Love you.

Scout Camp....For some reason I couldn't get any priesthood in the ward to give up a night or two to help this year. Whan, right? No, I don't mind giving up 1 of only 2 weeks of vacation a year.......I will look back on this trip and always remember it. I got mad chiggers and perspired myself to sleep at night, but the memories were worth it! I look back at the old troop 10 and think of all the boys that participated and the great times we had. I hope these boys will always remember Bob Harden09'.

Roll out the red carpet...

This is my dear mother. Its not mothers day until May, but I am very proud of her accomplishments in life. She graduated with a degree in Education from Converse College and completed a Masters degree from Columbia College. She also has many talents. She plays the panio and sings very well. She has quite the nack for quilting, sewing, and "crafty" stuff. She works hard at her job and loves educating children. I can't say enough about how much I love my mother. Oh and she looks great! Love ya MOM! Keep up all the great work.

Los Tigres del Sur

Ok, ok, ok....we ain't the best team in the ACC or the league, but this year....we pretty good! For those of you that are Clemson football fans and Duke or UNC basketball fans, ya'll better recaniiiiiiize!! Behind the big O the tigers have imrpoved every year since his take over. This is big O's second recruiting class and he is proving to be a couch that can hang with the big boyz. We don't have any big leaguers or NBA allstars, but we can come from behind and maintain winning records in THE most talented Conference in the United Social States of America (thats another blog for another day!?) So if you call yourself a Tiger in the fall, then step up and get wild about orange in MARCH!!!! Let's go TIGERS!!!!!!!!!

Merry Xmas and I mean X...

Fun christmas fact, that I am pretty sure is correct! Most people think that X takes the christ out of christmas. Well, I found out on an MSN Encarta Quiz that X is the symbol that represents the word "chi" that represents the word "Christ." In the Hebrew or Greek text they replaced His name with chi and then X later as to keep reverence. I get the details mixed up so challenge me and look it up!!!! After you find that Kell has way too much time on his hands, you won't get sick every time you see Xmas. Anyway, Christmas is over and I've already broke most of my New Years Resolutions...except begining to finish school. Yup, the bilengual-dumb-redneck is back at it to finish his degree. It's funny that most of the time if a student just sticks with their original major, they won't spend 3 years dancing from major to major. Well, business it is! I only have about 3 more years to go. Well, here are some pics of christmas and probably our last Louisville trip to see miss Mia.

The Early Bird get the Worms?

Wow. Maybe that nerd should put down the camera before they lose their life. That is a picture of my "space" at work...nice. Well, it will be easier to blog now since I have access to a computer--that is not from the 1980's. It was difficult to get the old people that I work with to realize that new wasn't bad. Anyway, all is well. Work is slow, but being the new YM Pres in my ward is a bit of a "shalonje"--challenge w/a french accent--. We should be able to handle it though. Merry Christmas! (upside down !)Feliz Navidad!

The last member of the "Manson" family (scarey)

No need to write out some super witty blog.....this is what i've been up 2! And no that ain't ash baby...thats all natural WHITENESS! (my legz, slow poke)

Chuck-Ching!

Yep, that is one huge proboscis! No one ever reads my sweet blog, so I can write what ever I want. That is so great. Have you ever looked close at a picture of yourself and thought..Who is that? I am sitting here on my bed and I am wondering who this is next to the words that I'm typing. Anyways, sometimes I get a little freaked out that "man, i do look just like my old man!"

Enough of what ever that was turning into. I am currently trying my hardest to get me and lindsay into some type of abode. Its great staying with my Mom, but she's....my MOM. Grateful she raised me, but come on....time to move on Kell and Lindsay! I am working on weekends back with 3tek now to help cut down our monthly "bills" so that we can put that money into a mortgage. We dont want to live in a sweet spec house with a 70in flat screen and two bmws in the double car garage or anything. We just don't want to have to squeeze our nickles and dimes to make it every month. So that and United Rentals are keeping me very busy. Lindsay's just as happy as ever to be working and quilting! So over all...we'll make it!

SOBRINOS!!!

This is my beautiful niece, Miss. Grace Elizabeth Blumell. She is being corrupted in this pic at her DeeDee's house. I think she just had a pop sickle.

This is another picture of our beautiful niece. Thanks for the fake smile Linds and I don't think you guys are even looking at the camera!

This crazy kid is Luke and is too smart for a 12 year old, but is stuck in a 4 year old body. Luke is a monster and love Transformers...for now. Like his sister he is very loving and sensitive to feelings. He loves his papa and deedee very much. But he REALLY loves his uncle kell and princess A LOT!

Yes, his mother did tell him several times to remove his hands from his mouth...she is slowly turning into her mother...good luck with that lincoln...gatta love those ma-in-laws!!

Last but not least (ok, maybe in size!) is little Lincoln John Fincher. This is Linds's sister's baby. He's getting so big and his mama and daddy really love him...and us too!

That's about all the newbies for now...to be cont.

So You Think You Can Fart!

That would make an awesome show!! Well men, we made it. Another stupid "reality" TV show that we are forced to watch has ended...for now. Sadly it will return next year, unless maybe, just maybe...the world will end. Since that outcome is probably unlikely, we will spend the next 5 months recuperating and preparing. That's right. Everybody say it with me...ARE YOU READY 4 SOME FOOTBALL!!!!!! That's right, ladies. You have Pro, College, and High School football and we can find a game on every night!!!!!!! It's much better than watching a bunch of Pixies prance around on some stage and thinking that your vote actually matters, when everyone knows the producers pick the winner. And don't even think about bashing on football because you'll be just as busy this fall. Who's gonna watch Grey's Anatomy or ER or Survivor or Big Brother or some other fake drama that makes you feel good inside? You betcha! YOU are!! So let us have our football and let us enjoy the only TV that truly entertains...FOOTBALL!!!!!!!

Five for Fighting....and Gambling!!

Alright, Michael Vick is an idiot! Please explain to me how you go from 130 MILLION dollar NFL contract to gambling on dogs. I don't understand. Maybe you millionaires can see where the poor guy is coming from. You know...what am I going to buy this year with my millions of dollars? Oh, I know! Let me go buy a pit bull...and fight him!!! If he doesn't win...we'll just shock him to death. I bet i could find something much better to do with 130 Million DOLLARS!!!!! Anyway, it's kind of sad that his fans and family have to deal with all the controversy. Also in the news today, our boy Donaghy is also going to make a plea on Thurs. Joining Vick, it will most likely be a guilty plea. Oh well, so much for the negative. This pic is of Halloween 06'. Yes, we are Clark and Lowis(sp). We try not to be too nerdy when it comes to stuff like this, but I guess you are what you are. This year we have no idea what we are going to do, but there was some mention of a spider pig...or maybe a Harvey Potter gig. Well, keep in touch and don't be a stranger to comments. If they are good enough they'll be posted.

The Odd Couple

That's right...the two most opposite and odd dogs are forced to live together. We are just so glad they let us stay with them. Cooper is the oldest. He is the all black one on the right. We don't really know what breed of dog he is because we got him from the pound. We brought him home after our honeymoon in Dec. of 2004. He is not the smartest dog ever, but he makes up for it in compassion. He is always trying to lay on us or lick us to death. We love him. On the other end is Rueben. We got him about three months after Cooper. He is the one who is not fooled by the fake "treat" I am holding in my hand to get them to look at the camera. HE is a thinker. He's thinking, "Hurry up and take the picture because this dog really stinks aaaaaaaaand he's touching me!" Rueben is way too smart and still doesn't buy the whole "dog" thing. With his IQ comes his attitude. He constantly fights with Cooper and tries to get Lindsay's attention all the time. He gets very jealous. He also likes to try and lay on us, but only because Cooper tries. Through all their quirks and issues they really do help us make it through the tuff times. When Linds and I get mad at each other we just yell at the dogs and we feel much better...don't worry the dogs just look at us like, "Just let it out." They are a pain to take care of sometimes, but they are full of so much love that it's worth it!

Somebody did VERY well on their Mission!

The beautiful brunet in the middle is my boss, I mean my wife. Her name is Lindsay and she is "THE best thing that has EVER happened to me!" She was born in Ogden, Utah to Mike & Shelly Stark, but she's mine now, HA! We have known each other since her family moved to town when she was about 11. She is nice, smart, pretty sexy, and also a great mother. Although we don't have any real babies yet, we still have our doggies. Linds has just completed a Dental Assistant degree @ Spartanburg Community College here in our small town. She works for Dr. Bill Mills @ Upstate Oral and Maxiofacial(sp) Surgery. Of course she loves it and she is really, really, good at what she does...what ever that is. We are still in love and she does good to keep me in line and on track. That's about all you need to know when it comes to my sweet heart...the rest is for me!!!!!
