Wipeout

Have you heard of the tv show Wipeout?  We discovered it on abc.com and ended up watching the whole season gathered as a family around the computer (not all in one sitting of course.=) It's a reality show obstacle course. Each week 25 new contestants see who's the last one standing in the fastest time. Hilarious!!! You can see episodes on Youtube.com

One night after watching, we were headed to the living room for family prayer. That's when we realized why Izzy had left that evening's episode early. She was inventing her own obstacle course. I had to get it on video and made a fun movie to tie it all in together.  Hope you enjoy.


For those of you that may have missed last year's movie for Glen when he was deployed, it's here below. We watch it from time to time just because the kids are so cute. I can't believe Glen hasn't even been back a year yet. It seems like that part of our lives was another lifetime ago. We're extremely grateful to have him home this year.  Hope you enjoy (or re enjoy) our Christmas movie.

That was awesome how you took your home video and the youtube video together! How did you do that? I need that tutorial!
You're so patient Jamie! I get way too overwhelmed with it all!
I'm so glad that you posted the old christmas video! That was great. And the girls loved watching it again.
Do you still have the airplane/helicopter museum one? I'd love to see that one again, too, if you do.
You've inspired me. I'll have to get these videos done.

My tutorial for combining home video and youtube was a little cheated. I set up my camera on the tripod and recorded it watching the computer.=) It seems like something can be done cuz I our friend Rob made some amazing trailers announcing their baby videos which included Harry Potter trailers, Star Wars, etc. I really should ask him and pass it on.

I remember the movie last year! I love it again this year.

Kids come up with the greatest ideas. They can really use their imaginations and come up with fun things to do.
