Attacking Birds

It's quite an amazing thing to watch a couple birds put together a nest. With a bunch of mud and sticks they can put a nest up pretty quick. These were my first thoughts as we noticed a couple birds building a nest in our stairwell. I was fascinated by how quickly they put it together and the stuff they used.

However, after going in and out of the apartment a couple times I realized that these birds were no sweet tweety bird. They would zoom in and out without a care that we were there. Several times I felt as though they were flying right at us on purpose. Brooks had a couple close calls with the attacking birds. I was getting more nervous for our safety and wanted them gone before they finished their nest so we didn't have to scare them off with eggs in the nest.

We called Grounds Office, but they didn't seem like they could do anything about it. Brooks used his basketball skills and threw a wad of paper at the birds to scare them away. Check out his basketball skills - The paper has since fallen out of the nest, but we have not seen the birds since that day. I hope they found a safe place to build their nest again.

Famous Face!

There is a billboard for DearElder.com along the freeway when you are driving from Sandy to Provo. Recently they've blanked out the face that has been on the billboard and advertised that they need a new face. After driving by it many times and both of us making a comment on how we should nominate Brooks for DearElder.com face we finally did it. All it entails is his face on that one billboard, on the home page of DearElder.com, and a little blurp about him on the webstie. We'll see what happens, but even if he's not chosen - it was still fun to imagine his face on a billboard! :) Watch for this beautiful face along the freeway!

Precious Smiles
