Happy Anniversary to us!

This past Friday, Sept. 12th was our 10th anniversary and what a way to celebrate in Jamaica!  Good times!  Look at how happy we be!  

Jungle zippin!

Here's pics and a video of us in the jungles of Jamaica on a zip line tour through the trees.

Katie is Scuba Steve!

Congrats to Katie for successfully going on her first dive while we were in Jamaica!  She and I took a short class, practiced some in the pool and then spent a half hour out in the ocean.  It was the two of us and three other guys in the group and this one big guy freaked out right at the beginning and went back on the boat.  That got Katie thinking she couldn't do it but then she went and had a blast!

Hey mon!

What's up mon?!  We are loving life here in Negril, Jamaica!  Pics to prove it!

Taylor loves the beach!

Just can't keep up...

It's tough to keep up with the Jones if you are into that....BUT, it's even harder to keep up with the Rousselow's.  Case in point...Looking through the pics of Nellie's 2nd birthday, I came across photos of the little water inflatable that we got to go along with the party.  

Check out the body language and overall feeling of disappointment at our inflatable by this poor boy.  We got this thing specifically for the party but once it was blown up with as much lung capacity as my dad and I could muster, it's....it's...okay.  Poor guy.  If only he could be up in Tennessee with the Rousselow's because look at what our friends Monica and Tim got their son, Alex....just because it was summer!

 Holy smoke!  Look at this thing!!!!  Look at the sheer joy on Alex's face...and he isn't even at a party...just hanging in his backyard!!  His backyard that now works part time as an amusement park....FOR ALEX!  Katie, Nellie and I are hoping that Monica and Tim adopt us soon. See another pic and video of this cool blowup here. 

Pics from Nellie's 2nd Birthday!!!

We went to Caroline's 3rd birthday today and I remembered that I never posted photos from Nellie's 2nd birthday party.  So, here are a few:

Don't feed the animals!

Line up for cake!!

"So, what's up with this cake stuff?"  Nellie's first cake...first real sweet desert.  Stand by...

Nothing brings a crowd together like toys....

Oh god, that's good....Nellie likes cake!!!

Here's the diva demanding to be held by Pop-pop after her cake hangover.  

Waaaaaaaarrrrrrr Eagle, HEY!

Well, we had a great time in Auburn and were sad to leave....but better on our wallets and waistlines that we only stay a few days at a time!  The game was a ton of fun and Nellie had a great time.  She especially loved Aubie and the band....Trumpets and drums are her favorites!  It was great to see Auburn again, but wow it has changed a lot!  We would often get disoriented because of all the new buildings that have gone up.  It also has a lot more high end restaurants, which was strange to us being that it is still a college town!  Our favorite wings places, that we were planning on eating at our first night in town, was closed down.  SO SAD!  

Who is this Kaiser Soze???

So a weird thing happened the other day while I was playing with Nellie and the camera was rolling.  If you have ever seen the old movie, The Usual Suspects, that came out in 1995 then the name Kaiser Sose is very familiar to you whenever you hear it.  The name is probably said a million times near the end of the film and is a big part of what the movie is all about.  Watch this clip:

So back to playing with Nellie...I haven't seen the movie since it came out.  It wasn't recently on TV that we have had on.  Out of the blue, Nellie starts saying the name...or at least what seems to be the name.  She talks a ton and says short sentences.  I've tried to figure out what else she might be saying.  No luck.  As soon as she said the name I thought about the movie and I haven't figured it out since.  I still say the name to her from time to time which gets her saying it again.  Conspiracy anyone????  Watch this clip.  This is when it happened originally.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Joey Ghirardi

While American Idol is touring the country looking for the next year's group of talent,

I hope they will be ready for one Joey Ghirardi in 

2020!

Hard to recognize one of Nellie's boyfriends. Jo-Jo is getting so big...and talented!!

Props to Tom as cameraman!

Pink Floyd sings, "You better run..."

President Teddy Roosevelt (my favorite prez) often spoke of living the "strenuous life" and the virtues that go with it.  It means more today with the additions of poor food choices in convenient locations and sitting here reading this blog.  Watch this video, then get up and go exercise...strenuously.  You can thank me those additional sixteen years the reporter talks about in this video clip.  ~~Taylor

Latest pics of us...

We got this new tiny Canon camera right before Tropical Storm 

Fay came and I've been snapping away since.  Here are some shots...

Clark's Clix woke up today...

Okay, okay...everyone else is doing it, so why don't we....  Besides, I'm having a hard time keeping up with all our photos and videos and where it all goes, so hopefully this will be a spot to throw some out to the masses...

Man, I feel like there should be some kind of special beginning for the start of our Clark's Clix blog...here we go...
