Hello family. I hope that all of you are either having a wonderful holiday break with family and/or friends or gearing up for said holiday festivities. Here's an early Christmas present from me to all of you, five good Demotivators. By way of explanation for this first one, Ben asked me if I've seen "Breaking Dawn", and after I retched at the thought of seeing that movie I thought of this poster. Below is the only way I'd voluntarily see that movie, or any other Twilight for that matter.

Those Greeks are sitting on a gold mine and don't even know it.

UPS should have a guy like this.

Hey family, I'm sorry for the delay in this post but I received an important assignment on Saturday from Mom and Dad during the FAMILY CONFERENCE CALL THAT THE REST OF YOU FLAKED OUT ON!!! They asked me to go to The Muppets and tell them what I thought of it. Incidentally all of you should go see The Muppets as it's very entertaining and a real treat for anyone who ever watched and loved The Muppet Show. That having been said, here come the demotivators.

This one sure brought back memories.

Have a Laugh on Me

Hey all, I hope you enjoy the latest batch of Demotivators.

This last one may very well be my new all-time favorite.

Thanksgiving!

Hey guys! So Thanksgiving was pretty awesome this year... second Thanksgiving that is. Here are some of the highlights.

1. Mom and Dad: It's always awesome to see them. The grandkids were pretty stoked.

2. 5k. It was a lot of fun. I smell a new tradition. Maybe we could make our own course next year or something. We took some pictures beforehand. Here is Dad "jumping." I think Bethany got him at maximum altitude. This was in the parking lot before the race started.

Here's a good one that Bethany took of the rest of us. Joe is closing his eyes and our shorts are super shiny. Notice how closely Steve's pose resembles that in the next picture.

So this might be one of the all time great Shaha pictures. I kind of want to put it up on the wall.

3. Union Station. We made the annual trek down to the awesome Union station to check out the trains and stuff. Wendy and Oakley and I posed for our first pseudo-family portrait thing. I thought it turned out pretty well but Wendy didn't so it was vetoed. Here's Wendy with the local station master... very profesisonal.

The whole crew... sans Dad behind the camera.

It was a lot of fun. We missed the Ben and Katie contingents. Hope you guys had good Thanksgivings too.

Demotivators

Ben found what he wants for his b-day, in case anyone is interested.

Donuts

Dave (Squints) wins donut-eating contest.

The donuts were originally tied to a string and you were supposed to be the fist one to consume one without using your hands. Well Dave's donut fell off at the very beginning so he ended up eating it off the floor. Gross but impressive. The guy in the penguin outfit is pretty great.

Well, life goes on and on. And in my current situation the best I can do to face it with optimism is utilize means I've found to eleviate the suckiness. That having been said, here's some more Demotivators. Enjoy, comments are always welcomed.

I thought of Wendy when I saw this one, maybe she and Dave's next kid will have a story like this.

Early morning milk

Notice the hand-holding :)

Natalie Adorns Jack With Strawberry Shortcake Stickers

Natalie and Jack: tub torture.

Dave's study buddy

Oakley is so funny! She'll fuss if she's left alone with her toys for too long, but is content as can be just sitting with Dave while he does his EKGs (don't ask me what that stands for because I have no idea.)

Bon Apetit

No witty intro this week, just hope you enjoy the latest batch.

What Lonely Dorks in Fort Campbell with Temple Reccomends Do with their Saturdays

The answer to the above is of course (at least in my case), they post Demotivational posters on their family's blog. I hope all of you enjoy the latest five, and remember that I love hearing comments and feedback.

Somehow I don't think the guys who invented drive-thrus meant the term to be taken that literally.
