Useless Fact of the Week

Frisbee got its name from William Russel Frisbee, who was a pie baker. He used to sell his pies in a thin tin pan, which had Frisbee written on it. When Walter Frederick Morrison thought of the idea of making saucer like disks to play catch, he visited the campus of Yale and noticed people there were using the pie pan to play catch so he therefore renamed his invention to Frisbee. Frisbee inventor Walter "Fred" Morrison test flies a re-issue of the Frisbee in December 2006, in Carpinteria, Calif.

Quote of the Week

“I do not ask that you reach beyond your capacity. I hope you will not nag yourselves with thoughts of failure. I hope you will not try to set goals far beyond your capacity to achieve. I hope you will simply do what you can do in the best way you know. If you do so, you will witness miracles come to pass.”

- President Gordon B. Hinckley

We Are So RAD!

No, really we are! Us girls, our mom and our longtime friend have recently graduated from a self defense class taught by our local university campus police department called RAD (Rape, Aggression, Defense).

Can we just say what a experience! (A fun, and bruising one) We certainly feel like we have not only grown in the physical ability aspect but in general confidence and personal empowerment as well.

We want to give many, many thanks to the instructors who volunteered their time and were so willing to let us beat up on them every week. ;)

We have unfortunately realized that after our graduation, we now suffer from a little case...ok, ok... a BIG case of RAD withdrawal. We just can't wait until the next time around. But until autumn we will just have to suffice with watching and re watching our simulation video!

So, hiiyah! Waatcha! POW! And a BAM!

From your lovable yet now more dangerous twins!
