Coop's Scoop is ON!!!

Okay, here goes draft #3. I have a bad feeling about this. I hate writing. So why in the world am I doing a blog? I don't know. I guess it's because I just lectured my children on the importance of keeping a journal or diary. That was a mistake. My wife is really excited about doing this blogging thing, and now she's lecturing ME on how to make a blog. She's a backseat blogger. I'm regretting the lecture...mine and hers. I wonder if my father ever felt that way after the hundreds of lectures he gave me as a kid. Oh wait, he still gives them to me. I thought maybe they would stop after I left the house. I'm 32 now with one wife and 4 interesting kids, but the lectures never stop. Big Jeff(Dad), Kenna(Mom) and my sweet wife of almost 10 years, Bubba (wife), all give them to me. I'm stuck in a circle of lectures.

As I'm writing this blog, I'm reminded of my first day of kindergarten. It was horrible!!! Kenna made me wear a vomit brown button up shirt and nasty dress pants, also brown. Our first house was brown. My only friend in Kindergarten had the last name of Brown, Jeffrey Brown. Brown is one of the ugliest colors alive. Can colors be alive? I don't know. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that from the beginning my parents wanted me to be a nerd. Maybe they thought it would make me a better student. Nice try. Didn't work. My other reason for bringing up my first day of school is that this first blog is just like that day, horrible. Did I mention I hate writing? If you're looking for a grammatically correct blog, go to my brother's or sister's blog. He's a lawyer, and she received a degree in English.

I guess I'm required to talk about my family in my blog. I think I read it somewhere in the blog agreement when I signed up. What? You don't read those exciting license agreements that some overpaid lawyer dictated to his secretary? Lawyers are great. More on them in future blogs. Back to my family. I'm married to Bubba. We have 4 unusual children. Alexis is 7 and reading a 100 page book right now that's supposed to be done by tomorrow. She's on page 10. I love kids. Procrastination runs in the family. So does constipation and irritation. Max is my only boy. He's 6. He loves the piano and wearing costumes. Not a good sign. I think Liberace started out that way too. Here's a link to him playing the piano:


Ashlyn is our 3 year old. She looks like my wife but acts exactly like me. She spends a lot of time in her room. She's just misunderstood. Our youngest child is Reese. She's 6 months. Bubba just made her cry. Reese is going to be one tough kid. She takes a lot of abuse from the 3 older kids and I guess my wife. Bubba said she was just trying to make her smile. By making a scary face? Right.

Okay, need to go. The girls are fighting over barbie.com and my 0-10 Dolphins are about ready to play on Monday Night Football. I'm excited to watch former BYU QB John Beck. I'm a huge BYU football fan. Remember when Monday Night Football used to be MUST SEE TV. Man, times have changed. Bubba, was that you? Smells like Cooper.
