Kids say the funniest things, especially in Glendale...

So I (Brian) started a new volunteer project this week. What I do is go to elementary schools and teach 3rd and 4th graders basic first aid and CPR. Well for my first assignment I was assigned to Mt View Elementary, which is in Glendale. Now if you are not familiar with the part of SLC west of the freeway you need to know that this is what my Dad likes to call a "tough" neighborhood. That's nice Garry talk for "you could get shot, robbed, stabbed, etc there." So I get there, and I have 8 3rd graders that I'm going to be working with. And this is where the the story get hilarious!! First thing we talked about was emergencies and calling 9-1-1. So I went around the room and asked the kids what kinds of emergencies happen:

Luis: You could get stabbed ....
Nefi: Someone comes and burns your house down at night ...
Omar: A cop could come and shoot you for no reason ...

I was kinda looking for falling out of a tree house, or getting in a bike wreck, but I guess this works. So then I talked about calling 9-1-1, so I asked Omar if he would call 9-1-1 during his emergency, his response, "No way, then more cops would show up and shoot more people."

Another thing we did was we practiced what to do when you see someone get hurt. SO one of the kids was the "patient" and got to choose what happened to him..(again I was waiting for tree house, bike, you know.) Well he decided to be "hit by a train" Well, we went with it, so I asked his little friend, what are you going to do to help your friend who was hit by a train? He said "Nothing it was his own fault for playing by the tracks, I'm gonna let him bleed out" That's right the kids said "bleed out".

In the end we did get though all we needed to get done, but man I've never laughed so hard in my life!! Best part is, there are six lessons left, I cant wait.

So, I'm not the only one who thinks they're #1 ...

Well last Thursday it became official, well kind of. According to nbc sports, the Utah Utes football was recognized as the college football national champions, and presented with the trophy. From collegefootballtalk.com that is, not the BCS. It was all cleared through the NCAA, so it's kinda legit. Either way I have to agree, GO UTES.

Funniest video I've seen in a long long time....

So, I got this off my friend Brooke's blog, and it was so freakin funny that I had to post it as well. This is one of the funniest things that I have ever seen, so check it out...definitely worth it! It's a 7 year old who had some dental work done, and was put out by the gas.....this is what he's like when he woke up.

Carter's Baptism....

This last weekend we headed up to Boise to watch Brian's nephew Carter get baptized. It's hard to believe that little guy is already eight, he growing up fast! It was a great time, all of Brian's grandparents and most of his family were able to make the trip. Brian's little brother Riley baptized Carter, and Brian's Dad did the confirmation. Congrats Cater!! Also, here's some pictures of the Idaho trip.
