Great Moments in Card Family History

Here are some great moments in the history of the Russ and Tammy Card family, some extended family too. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do when we reminisce - that means you'll have to roll around on the floor having giggle fits. Of course, most of this will be meaningless to you unless you were there. But we don't care. It makes us smile to think back on these events anyway.

... "Are you ready to order?" asks the waitress at Hires Big H. "Duuuuuuuuuuuh," says Tammy.

... Russ accidentally throws his dance partner into the fire pit during a performance of "Dance on a Country Grave" at BYU.

... Tammy bouncing off the plate glass window at Big 5 Sports which she thought was a doorway.

... "What can I get you?" asks the teenager behind the counter at the Yogurt Parlor. "Did you wash your hands?" asks Tammy.
(Editorial comment: funny that so many of Tammy's embarrassing moments take place in eating establishments.)

... Russ mixes up the lyrics to "Molasses to Rum to Slaves" in the dress rehearsal for 1776 at BYU, which forces the orchestra to jump around in the score to stay with him. During notes after the rehearsal, the conductor comments, "Russ, you may want to take a look at the lyrics."
(Editorial comment: funny that so many of Russ's embarrassing moments take place in theatrical productions.)

... After carrying tray after tray of food upstairs to our table at Los Hermanos, Russ comments to the waitress, "You should get a dumbwaiter to help with that." "We have one," she replies, "but we keep him in the kitchen."

... Russ falls down the stairs on Christmas Eve hurting his back.
... Russ falls down the stairs while carrying Abbie, our Yorkie puppy, sending the little furball tumbling down the stairs.
... Russ falls up the stairs breaking his toe.
(Editor's note: Russ now avoid stairs, preferring to reach other levels using ladders, elevators, Star Trek transporters.)

... "Look what I can do!" says Tammy just before the rolls her trike in the middle of the street.

Remind me of some more, and I'll add them.

What about the time that Mom picked up Abby and teasingly told her "you're so stupid!" - only she had picked her up backwards and so she was insulting her bum?

It's so hard sometimes to tell a Yorkie face from a Yorkie behind.

Great memories! I am giggling on my floor Russ! I also love your movie reviews/stars/ratings. I'll check you out before entertainment weekly! Do you think Prince Caspian is too violent for the kids? Spielburg won't even let his see Jaws!
