Oh My Gosh Angie!

I think most of you have either met my sister, Angie, or have at least heard all about her. Well I got a call this morning from her telling me to go and read the email she had just sent me. So I did. It was insane so I had to share it with y'all.
A little background info: Kelly is her husband, JJ is my nephew that is 16 and a junior in high school (still cant believe my little JJ is that big). The only justification Angie has is that the car is a hybrid-which really isn't a justification at all. But I do love the help to the environment and at least it wasn't her diesel guzzling truck.
Here is the email:

Hi friends I just wanted you to get a good laugh at our marriage and hopefully this will brighten your day.
Dear Kelly,
I just wanted to write you a note to talk about the "problem" of me accidentally leaving the car running in the driveway all night. First of all, I think it's really interesting that you always seem to make such a big deal of everything. Why do you always have to be so negative??? It seems like lately I can never please you. Just because I make a few little costly mistakes every once in awhile you seem to get so upset. Look, I said that I was sorry for putting a hundred dollars of unleaded in our diesel truck last month. Now this.....why don't you ever look on the bright side? For example- The car is fine today. No one stole the car. No one is hurt. Did you forget that I helped you clean the car yesterday???? Who went and filled up the car with the CORRECT gas two days ago??????? ME. Did I get any kind of thanks for that, nope.
Another thing I want to mention is it really wasn't all my fault. Why didn't you go outside and check the car before you went to bed?? A lot of husbands do that you know, to protect their family. When was the last time you tried to protect the family? What about the neighbors?? Why didn't they call us and tell us it was still running? I thought we lived in a great neighborhood, I guess I was wrong.
Oh yea, let's not forget about JJ. Correct me if I am wrong, didn't JJ come home last night at midnight? Why didn't he check the car? I think we need to maybe ground him because he's not paying close attention to things that are going on. What do you think???
Next time you get mad at me for something so trivial I want you to sit back and take everything into consideration. You might just realize how grateful you are for me. When was the last time you were bored in our marriage?? Sometimes when everything goes great and there are no mistakes life is really dull. Before you married me you told me that I make life interesting. Well what about now???? Once again, I can't please you. I guess I will try to be boring and not make anymore mistakes. I will try to put the correct gas in the car and most of all try to remember to turn the car off.

What can I say, that's my sista!!!

Apple Celebration

Lucy's class had an Apple Celebration to show parents all that they have learned. It was cute because they sang for us showing us how they are learning to spell and read (which is old news, Lucy's been doing it for awhile now). How they are learning to do math (which Mrs Hansen did in such a cute way but not wanting to go into detail cause it wouldn't be so cute to read) and science including an apple experiment (not quite sure what it was). And of course art. We made a snack using apples, peanut butter, and marshmallows (see below).
Not from today, from Central Market our fav grocery store. Lucy really wanted to poise in front of the apple and I finally found a post to put it in.
Working (coloring) hard

Craft/snack time-yuck. (In case you can't tell this is a mouth with with marshmallow teeth held together with peanut butter)
Lucy being Daddy

PS All of our dental friends like the t-shirt? Lucy's school has college day where the kids can wear a college t-shirt instead of uniform. Daddy loves it.

It Has Been Awhile

Grey's First Bday is coming up and I am so sad. So I had to do a post just dedicated to my baby boy who, by the way, is never growing up, going on a mission, or getting married! He will be Mommy's boy forever.
Pic that was on Adam's phone and I just found it.
What I find DAILY and yes I know we should put locks on the cabinets which I bought but Adam has yet to put on.
Grey and his backpack. Adam saw it at REI and had to have it. We can hardly wait till he is big enough to actually use it on his first hike (meaning his is walking).
Grey's first picnic. He LOVED all the food and was great about staying on the blanket. Why? Because the grass here is not soft, not soft at all.
Grey and Zoe. Adam and I had taken them shopping at the mall and totally wore them out!

Ode to Janelle

So after reading your comment, Janelle, I felt bad for leaving you out. And since I had already totally embarrassed myself I figured two more pics couldn't hurt. What is funny to me is that in your last post on your blog you had plaid shorts on, but they are definitely much more stylish that your 1994 ones:)! As for me I LOVE denim with denim and socks with sandals.

The Results Are In!!!!!

Okay I know it says there are 2 more days to vote, but I have made up my mind, thanks in part to the comments left by those who have great taste!!! I am keeping the shams. I have fallen in love with them and cant quite picture my grown up room without them:) For those of you who do not like them, well you probably don't like the spread either. And that's okay. I will help you with you style and tastes issues later! j/k (remember that from like Jr high-just kidding?!) So what really sealed the deal other than Adam and I really do like them and think they go just smashingly? The comment from Darcie. She is my oldest/dearest friend and if I cant trust her opinion whose can I trust? So that got me thinking to some pics I recently found cleaning out my chest that went with my old furniture. So I had to share pics with Darcie and me and some of what we have been through together. You are welcome Darc! PS (to darcie): Music remind you of anything

Top: Young Women's 4th year hike, I think the year was 94'
Middle: McCall, ID. The canoe trip from "you know where".
Bottom: Debra, me, and Darcie at Girl's Camp
Side: It was a pic of me, Darcie, and the other two bros, (ie. Diego and seminary teacher who I can't even pretend to remember his name-Johnson maybe?) but I totally cut them out so we could all see my great hair and make-up along with our stylish shorts.

These are all EFY pics-when Darcie and I became so soo much more spiritual than all of our friends in Bountiful. Really they hold some really awful memories but who am I to rob the world of these glorious pics?
Top Left: Me, some kid, Darcie
Top Right: Me in Annalee's (was that her name?) glasses
Bottom Left: Darcie in Annalee's glassed
Bottom Right: Our girl group at EFY and those two weird guys that liked me-what was up with that???

Vote Yes or No

Okay so I need your help-all of you. Vote Yes! if you like the pillow shams or No:( if you think I should go with just a solid color (I was thinking the teal/dark turquoise color?) Vote to your right please.
