New e-mail address

Hey guys, I've changed my e-mail address to conchordian@gmail.com

Hey guys, quick update. I was accepted to the endodontics specialty program at Penn, so I'll be in Philadelphia next year, not too far from old Cherry Hill if I'm not mistaken. Later

August Update

Hey all:

Here are some new pictures of Clara. She's growing up so quick and is getting pretty chunky. Lesli and I are working on putting our landscape in and I start taking the CPA Exam this month. Hopefully, I'll have it all finished by the end of November. I hope all is well with everyone. When are we going to hold our first annual WSM reunion?

Harris B. Robinson

And here he is. Shannon's friend came over and took some pictures of our little guy so I thought I'd share some with you. Bennett and Max adore him and are anxious to help. Mom is tired but can't get enough of him and me...well, I'm tired but we're all surviving. Keep the pictures coming of all of your little ones too!!

Cleopatra comin atcha

Congratulations Marc on the new little one. Our twins are 4 months old today and they are getting nice and chunky(Courtney on the top and Callie on the bottom). We hope everyone is doing okay. I've got a couple of weeks off school, so we are enjoying spending more time together as a family. How's the going back to school coming Marc--that's exciting.

Well...number three arrived 9:26 CST Saturday night.

Our little Harris B. Robinson was born last night and we are quite blessed to have another healthy baby in our home. Mommy and baby will come home tomorrow, and we will post more then.

Let the boating times begin!

First of all congrats to B and Leslie. Your poor little girl doesn't stand a chance, Bennett and Max (and Harris) already want to go out on a date with her! I'm sure you two will be great parents...we're excited for you.

Now back to ME....got the boat out last week and we went for a little drive. The boys were cold but I told them to "man up" and they got over it. Anyways, this is an open invitation to any WSM to come go wakeboarding in the BM. By the way we think we're going to name our 3rd little boy Harris. What do you think?

Exciting news in our life is I'm unemployed. The hot new job turned out to be less then hot. The company we sold insurance for was purchased by United Health Care about four weeks ago. So now I'm the Ward Handy Man. And I'm starting to think it's actually a calling. I get a call about once a week from a ward member who wants work done. Luckily this isn't a lay calling.

Actually if you'll believe this... Josh I know you won't, I'm going to start taking classes and apply for optometry school next year. What do you think about that? Small change from debits and credits.

Thats all for now. Good luck to the rest of the WSM who are expecting in the next couple of months.

Our new little lady

Hey fellow WSMs:
We have a new addition to our family, Clara Belle John was born on April 14th at 5:15 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and is 21 inches long. She kind of had a rough time coming out, so once her cone head dies down a little, she might not be quite 21 inches. She is sooooo cute! Or at least I think so. It's quite a sudden change being a daddy for the first time, but I think Lesli and I will get the hang of parenting before too long. If you'd like to view some pictures of her, here is a link you can visit:

My turn, my turn, pick me, pick me.

In high school fashion i am going to tag along on this WSM adventure. I appreciate that you are including we WSM honorys (or is that ornery's) since the band was so elite some of us could only look from the sidelines.

Anyway, enough about you lets talk about me.

We live in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, about 30 miles south of Nashville. We have a little house. We were trying to fit in by having broken down cars in the back yard all the time but we finally decided that there are some traditions that need to die. Oh and on that tangent, the South will rise again!! I am not sure from what, but there are so many people waiting for it that something has to happen.

(this is Charity and Haela and Charity's dad at the zoo monkey exhibit)

I work in Nashville (45 minute commutes stink, i wish I had some WSM music to listen to on the way). I am working for a general contractor building schools and condos and all sorts of other fun things. In fact we built the Monkey exhibit at the Zoo so when the WSM rises again and we need a home for Whitey, give me a call.
Charity is gorgeous as ever. We are expecting #2 at the end of May. It is going to be a boy. i tried to convince Charity to let us name him Markandon but she wants biblical names so we are going with Enoch.

Haela is 2 1\2 and crazy. She inherited red hair from some recessive ancestors and now she has the attitude to prove it. She has been to the emergency room 10 times in 4 states due to her allergies and ahsma. I think that just makes her tougher.

We are loving life out here and hope to get an invite to the WSM reunion, though I think we should have it here in TN so you guys can kick off the rest of your careers in Nashville.

Check this out...Max eats spoon.

A little house near the prairie (its the midwest ok)

Shannon said that I had to put some pictures of the family out here, not just of me an my hot bod (although, lets be honest, that's really what everyone wants to see!). So here they are. Bennett is 4 and attends preschool a few times a week. He is prepping for swimming this summer. His dad is his favorite.

Max is 2 and is mad that he cant go to preschool a couple of times a week! His dad is also his favorite (notice a trend here). We have been blessed with two great boys.

Shannon is 26 and is hotter than ever (I am also her favorite). Shannon is not currently attending preschool (she was expelled for beating up other kids). We have a nice little life here in the "lou" as Nelly calls it. The only WSM member that has come to our house is Kelly Max. He and Charity have spent a long weekend here...I guess we know who our friends are.

More to come....

And then there was six

Hey guys--congratulations on all the new arrivals. We are expecting twin girls the first part of April so we'll have six people in our little family. I'm finishing up my third year of dental school here in Omaha and have one more to go. I'll be applying to some residency programs this summer to go to school for two more years to be an endodontist, so we'll find out in the fall where we'll be moving next year. As long as I keep going to school, I may never have to have a real job. We stay pretty busy here and its about to get a lot busier but we really should put some sort of WSM reunion together maybe over Christmas or something. My parents went on a mission to Austria in December, but Amy's parents moved to Rigby last summer, so we still have a homebase there. Oh yeah, I also have my own ghetto cruiser for getting to school and back (19 miles roundtrip) which is a little honda that will have to get its own post later. Keep the posts coming because I really miss you guys--you are tight!

A white snow monkey in the clouds.

This is Lesli and I on the top of the world. It looks to me like a white snow monkey in his natural habitat. To give an update, we have been married for four years and are expecting a little girl in April. Her name will be Brandelina. J/k we don't really know what we are going to name her yet, but we're getting pretty excited to have her around. I'm working in Salt Lake City at an accounting firm. We live in Farmington, so if anyone is coming into town, please come see us and I'll show you the cool spots for skinny dipping, bridge jumping, ski rocketing, or anything else you'd like to do. Long live the white snow monkeys!

The BM

Don't be jealous, please...I know I have the worlds greatest bod. Here is a picture of our little boat. Its kind of a piece of junk but it floats and pulls a skiier so thats all that matters. So if you want to come to St. Louis you can come take advantage of it!

Oh, if you're wondering what BM means by the way...I don't really know why its called the BM...our friends the Melby's named it. Its called that for several reasons. He tries to claim its the "Bennett Manover" or the "Bennett/Max" but its really because is son had an accident on the boat. The #2 accident if you know what I mean.

The beginning of remembering yester-years and years to come

Here it is! The long anticipated blog for the White Snow Monkeys (WSM), honorary WSM's and the WSM's extensive network of friends.

This blog is designed to never let good friendships die, develop new ones, and all that sappy crap. In addition it is for good laughs and good times.

So, let me introduce you to our blog mascot, "Whitey." A WSM in the flesh, well fur... Anyway, I look forward to your posts, fellow WSM's.
