Drunk People & The Bus

Today after my art class I was getting on the bus when this guy almost fall on top of me. He starts yelling "Have a good day sir" to the bus driver. His friend went out the other door and almost fell to the ground. I walked to the middle part and sat down. A guy behind me then very angrily yells, "Sir, those men were drunk you need to call the police" the bus driver just ignored him. (I have never seen a drunk person so I had no idea what was going on) We were still sitting by the curb (for like 10 minutes) and the bus driver was looking around at something. The same guy behind me started getting really angry. We then saw what had the bus drivers attention. This huge winged insect was flying around and the dude was trying to smash it. He wasn't very bright or fast so the slow thing kept getting away. Finally he got it and then we were on our way. It is always very entertaining to ride the bus at night. . .

Mung Beans and Jelly Beans

I was fooling around with Amber and Scott with a huge blue ball. I hit it away from Scott and the ball went up on the counter and knocked over a bowl of mung beans in water. I cleaned up the mess and Grant goes "why is mom trying to grow so many beans?" My dad then said "she is emergency preparedness person, and she just took a class on making beans." Grant then goes "well why can't she make jelly beans?"

Hi, It's Sarah

Back in August we had a girl from Germany come stay with us for six months. Whenever she called she would say "hi, it's Sarah" she also loved wearing thongs which totally creeped us out. So today Scott goes, "Hi, it's Sarah back from Germany came to get my panties!" The whole family just started laughing.

Lagoon

Today we went to Lagoon! Yeah! It was so much fun, except for it being cold. The younger kids were so cute! Scott loved Wicked and Fire Dragon. Some funny things they said:

Amber: Think of a happy place! (Right before a big drop)

Scott: Well that was boring (After a haunted house)

Scott: I would be so mad if we fell off the tracks

Scott: The best part was the first drop (After going on Wicked)

Bridal Veil Falls 2

So this morning I decided to kidnap Blake at 6:30 am and take him on a little adventure. We went to Bridal Veil Falls. We were crazy and went higher than we were supposed to. It was a lot of fun.

Cookie Volcano

For a Relief Society lesson Natalie made the best peanut butter cup cookies ever! Blake and I decided to try to make some. We made our own peanut butter cups and everything. The recipe said to roll the dough into balls and place them into a mini muffin tin. I don't have one but Blake insisted that we didn't need one, "we can just roll them into balls and let them cook". I didn't think that would work but he is so stubborn. We pulled them out of the oven and they were totally flat. We tried putting our peanut butter cups into them and they just looked awful

Bridal Veil Falls

Shantel and I had finished finals so we went got Jamba Juice and sat outside. Kate pulled up and said, "lets go play" so we went up into the canyons. We started out fine, crossed a chasm of death twice, fell, slid, and finally made it to the waterfall! Yeah!!

Men and Grocery Lists

I sent Blake into the store to buy a can of tomato soup for a basil chicken recipe. He comes out with a ginormous ice cream cone and the soup (and a huge grin on his face). Somehow I wasn't surprised at all

Car Troubles and Funerals

My great-uncle Lee passed away and his funeral was today. I was going to drive down to Draper to catch a ride with my mom to the services. I get out to my car and tried to start it. It was dead!! My first car trouble away from home. (at least it didn't decide to hate me in the middle of an intersection) Good old Elders Quorum President Keith came to my rescue. He got the car running and I quickly got on the freeway. I was late so my mom told me just to meet her there. Some crazy old man decided to change lanes, and I just happened to be in his blind spot. With only inches between us I swerved out of my lane. Luckily there wasn't another car. (How weird would it be if I had died on the way to a funeral?) I thought that maybe I wasn't supposed to go to the funeral with all my car luck. However, I made it shakily but safely to the chapel. The funeral was sad but put things in perspective. I also got to hear my grandpa and his brother Garth speak which was nice.

Church Church Church

Today in church was a rather interesting experience. The girl who usually leads wasn't there so I stepped in. I have no leading experience whatsoever. For the opening hymn the pianist was playing the introduction and I just started leading. I looked over at Shantel who was sitting on the front row and asked in a whisper if I should be leading in the intro. She laughed silently and shook her head. So I slowly put my arm down and started laughing. (You think I should know after going to church my whole life, but hey who looks at the conductor?) I looked up and Kate mouthed, "slap your neighbor slap yourself" which is our ward joke of how to lead. I thought I did a terrible job, but Shantel said I looked professional and cute.. . . . in Sunday school we sit in this room with huge windows that face a parking lot. It was so bright and sunny I joked that we should all work on our tans. Shantel pulls out some sun glasses and made me wear them the whole lesson. I didn't feel too dumb cause some other guy wore some too. So we gave each other high fives. The lesson started and all of the sudden this couple, in the parking lot started kissing goodbye. Kleresa and I started giggling. . the poor couple had no idea that we could see them. So yes very entertaining day

Old People Making Out

So Blake and I went to Artic Circle for some shakes. There was this older couple who were totally not married, because they were staring at each other. (Married people just dont do that) ;) So they left after a while and we left like 5 minutes after them. Walking out we noticed a couple passionately making out against my car!! Not only was that shocking but it turns out it was that old couple! So I decided not to disturb them so we went on a walk around the parking lot. Its nice to know that old people still got it.

You Stole My Pam!!

This is what one of my roommates sent to my friend, Shantel after their pam went missing "i know that you are saying that you "have no idea where our pam went" but i know tha'ts a lie and i am tired of you draper utah people lying straight to my face. i know you or someone else took our brand new bottle of pam a week after we got it, because it went missing and i looked EVERYWHERE for it and it was nowhere. i repeatedly asked you for it and where it was. you gave answers like "yeah i'll bring it back" and "i don't know where it is." i could really care less about the pam itself, all i'm asking for is honesty. i would have thought that people who 'go to the temple every week' and are such "upstanding" members of the church would be able to provide me with that, but you have consistently proven me wrong with blatant lies straight to my face, because you are too immature to take responsibility for your actions. just a straight up honest answer is all i'm asking for." I'm so glad that they think our integrity is worth lying over a bottle of pam.

I Should Be Married!!

Shantel and I were walking to biology today and it was rather chilly outside. We get into the building and we are climbing the stairs when I said "oh it is nice and toasty in here." Shantel just gave me this shocked look and was like "What!" Then I got all confused and asked what she thought I said and she goes, "didn't you just say you should be married?" I don't know how in the heck she got that out of what I really said. But I just started laughing my head off. Making fun of her I repeated "I should be married!" out loud just as a kid turned the corner and I almost ran into him. He gave me the strangest look (probably thinks I'm some bitter girl who just got dumped or something) and kept walking. Shantel and I just busted out and laughed the rest of the way to class . . .

Old Shantel

So it has been decided that Shantel is getting old. She is going deaf, which sadly provides me a lot of entertaintment. We were sitting on the couch chatting and watching tv when a Home Depot commercial comes on. "I love the Home Depot!" I said, Shantel turns to me and says "You love old people?" Hahahah poor Shantel . . .

Except You Dad

The family went to St. George one weekend for a clogging competition. For fun they went and saw some historic houses around the city. Well at one site some old dude wearing jeans was tilling a garden. Amber saw him and goes, "ugh! I hate it when old guys wear jeans, except you dad"

Amanda's Birthday!!

My sister Amanda turned 14 today! To celebrate we went to Nickel Mania as a family. My dad and I really got into this one game, it's like Dance Dance Revolution but for lazy people (Not that we are lazy) because you only use your hands. When the round was over this warning popped up. You can't really read it but on the screen it says "this game is for sale and use in Japan only" well I guess they broke that rule.

It's Here!!

Blake got his mission call today! He didn't even wait that long either! It was only about a week or two. He will be leaving July 15th for the Lisbon Portugal mission!!
