Yo-Yo Man

For those of you who don't know, Brian is a yo-yo geek. He withheld this information until after we were married. Apparently, all there is for freshman guys to do at BYU is learn yo-yo tricks. But I digress. Brian has always been proud of his tricks and his super ball-bearing yo-yo with custom leather case. Yeah, he had that before we got married, too. So being the super-fine wife I am, I got excited for Brian when I saw that his yo-yo idol, Dale Myrberg, was going to be performing at the library. Not only was Brian excited, but the kids were, too. I couldn't believe how many people showed up for this thing. We got great seats because we arrived early and I got some great pictures and video. I have to admit, this guy was amazing.


Here are some short video clips of Dale Myrberg performing...Brian watches these for practice!

don't act like you're not impressed when I split the atom. John Mayer wishes he could do that

Dude, Brian...you have skills! Actually it is quite impressive...you need to show the boys again! BTW, you also need to pick up some of those stylin' suspenders and a hat. Oh, and a mustache would be a nice touch, too! :)

Brian is SO going to be performing at the library someday when he's old. And also, I think you guys should change your last name to Myrberg.
