I just found this post in my drafts, I guess I forgot tp post it. This happened back in the beginning of November. . .




Okay, seriously I am disgusted. Well, it all started this morning around 5 am when I went out front to wait for Julie to go on our walk. I looked at my yard and in only one spot the ground was wet (kinda muddy). So I wondered what it could be from only in that one spot. Well after I get back from my walk, for who knows what reason (probably trying to be a detective) I touched it to see how wet it was and when it could of happened. So I remembered that my nephew was over last night, so I thought maybe he had a drink and just threw it out, no biggie. I thought I had solved the mystery, but I was wrong. When Craig got home this morning I was telling him about it and how it had me baffled(i love that word). Well, Levi interrupted my conversation telling me it was Seth who did it. Levi goes onto the whole story of how the toilet got clogged and Seth was looking up how to plunge a toilet, and it says to get rid of most of the toilet water before plunging. So that is exactly what he did. I then went to ask Seth what he used to get the water out and he told me it was one of the Harkins cups, I then ask where he put it. He said the dishwasher, are you kidding me!?! I went and got it out and threw it away!! Then I realized I had touched the toilet watered ground!!!! I was disgusted!!! But thanks Seth for trying to fix the problem. :)

Ponytail Update

YAY!! Look how long my ponytail has gotten!! I am so excited that I have lasted this long without cutting my hair. YAY ME!!

Birthday Fun

On my birthday last Friday my mom, sisters, and brother and me went to eat at Manuel's. It was very yummy. Afterwards we decided to do something so crazy. . . we went back to Lora's house and played Phase 10. It was fun just hanging out and laughing all night. Thanks everyone for a fun night!!

But sadly the bird died today.

I'm glad it didn't have to suffer

by being eaten alive.

Levi's Pj's

Last Sunday after church, Levi came out of his room holding his sweater.  He asked me why he doesn't wear it to church anymore.  I told him it is too hot right now and it probably won't fit him when it is cool enough to wear again, and that we should probably get rid of it.   So, he decided it would become part of his pajamas.  He actually sometimes has gloves on and clip-on ties hanging from his pants. . . who knows why.

Best Friends

I found this as I was looking at all my pictures and just really like it. I am so glad that Mallory and Jordan are not only cousins but best friends!!

I Was Bored Again. . . So I Did This

Another day of me being bored so I decided to get this chair out of my room and paint it. I like how it turned out.

BEFORE AFTER

San Antonio

Lora, Jordan, Mallory and me took a trip to San Antonio to visit Natalie and Harold. Kerry wasn't able to go so she made a Flat Kerry to take with us. It was pretty funny.

No More Blonde

Mallory is no longer a blonde. I dyed her hair brown the other night. I was scared it wasn't going to cover all the blonde and it would come out looking creepy. Well, it turned out good. I like her with dark hair.

I Was Bored. . . So I Did This

This is what I did today.

It's Off

Craig took Noah to get his cast off this morning. YAY!! No more wrapping his arm in plastic for his showers. I'm sure Noah is happy to have it off also, probably for different reasons. He has had to sit in his classroom at school during recess for the past month. Actually, Noah came home today and told me that he wasn't allowed to go out to recess because we didn't get a note from the doctor saying he is okay to go back to normal activities, didn't realize we needed one. Oh, and while Noah had his cast on it would get itchy, so he would try to scratch his arm with whatever he could find, well one day at school he used his pencil that had a removable eraser on the end and the eraser came off in his cast. That probably happened within the first two weeks. Anyways now he has a sore where the eraser was. Oh well, at least the cast is off just in time for summer.

Mr. Golden Sun. . .Please Shine Down On Me

Today I realized how much I love the sun. I was freezing inside my house this afternoon and went outback to move the hose (I was soaking the backyard) and right when I stepped into the sunlight I felt the heat from the sun, I love that feeling. Yes, I know it's starting to get a little warm out there, but I still love it!! I also love opening my blinds every morning and letting the rays light up the house. I just love the sun!!

Enough Noah

While I was at the Stake Humanitarian day this morning I got a phone call from Seth (he stayed home with Noah and Levi) saying Noah cut his wrist and he is bleeding really bad. So the first thing I think of is that he is bleeding to death. I had my mom drive me home because I didn't have my car there since I rode my bike to the Stake Center with my sisters. So I got home and found Noah in the bathroom with his hand under running water, and I automatically look at his wrists to expect to see a long huge gash. Well there wasn't a huge gash but a small cut, but then I looked closer and it was really deep so I decided to take him up to urgent care. So anyways he ended up having to get one stitch, yes I said one! I forgot to mention he was just at urgent care 10 days ago with what ended up being an elbow fracture. So now not only does he have an arm that has a cast on it that needs wrapped in plastic for a shower his other hand also needs to be wrapped in plastic for about 3 days. Let's hope nothing else happens again too soon or I'll start to get questioned. I just realized the date Noah gets his cast off is May 14th, which is the day before the father and son campout. Maybe he'll be extra careful. . . yeah right.

I Made It!!!

I just got back from a 5 mile bike ride with my sisters Kerry and Lora and my nephew Zack and niece Jordan. It was so much fun. Us 4 girls have matching pink bikes, we look like a little gang riding along the canal. I love going down the tunnels it's coming back up that I don't enjoy all that much!! But all in all it was a fun time. Me and Kerry are telling Lora that one of these days we are going to show up on our bikes at her work ringing our bells. She works out in Scottsdale, so it might be a few months before I work my way up to riding that far. I will post a picture of us with our bikes soon. We look so cute.

Walking The Dogs. . . Not

I decided to go on a walk tonite since I skipped my morning one. I thought I would head over to my sister Lora's house and see if her or my mom would want to go along, but they weren't home. My brother Devon was there and suggested I take Buffy (Lora's dog) and Oliver (my mom's dog) with me. So I thought "what the hay, why not". After about 10 minutes of me and my brother trying to figure out how to get their harnesses on with them spazzing out at the same time, I decided to just put their leashes on their collars. Well, I made it to the mailbox and realized why they wear harnesses, because they choke themselves without them. They are so hyper they take off and I have to pull them back to stop them so then they choke. So I guess they don't actually choke themselves I did it to them. . . with their help. Anyways, I didn't like the whole choking thing, so I just took the dogs back to my brother and finished my walk and went home.

Thanks Jamie

I have the most awesome hairstylist (and niece-in-law)! Not only is she excellent at what she does but she is also helping me stick to something I've always wanted to do. . . and that is growing my hair out. I went in for a trim today and she told me that if I wanted to go shorter that I would have to find a new hairstylist because she was not going to cut it short. Now don't take this the wrong way, she will cut your hair how you want it, she's just helping me stick to something I've always wanted to do. So thanks Jamie for having my back and thanks for always doing such a great job on the kids hair. Anyone who is looking for a hairstylist who is awesome at color and cut just click on Cheveux under websites (on the right side of the page) and give her a call, you'll be glad you did.

Sandwiches

Yesterday when I made Craig sandwiches he was joking around saying how me and Rylee put the bread on wrong when we make them for him. Does it really matter if the two pieces of bread are not facing the same way? Doesn't it taste the same? Just wondering. :)

Watch Out!!

All I can say is you better watch out when my mom is playing the Wii. She gets a little into it. . . just check out the picture above where she is bowling (like you couldn't tell). It's a lot of fun to watch her play. She also is pretty fun to watch when she is watching someone play, especially if she is watching someone playing baseball. I think she gets confused and thinks you are actually playing a real game. Just kidding. But it's good to know that she can still act like a kid and have fun. Can you believe she's 69!?! Looking good ma!!

Seaport Village

After Seal Beach we went to Seaport Village to look around and have some lunch before heading home. We ate at Asaggio pizza. . .delicious. After eating the kids rode the carousel then it was to the car for home.
