I went to a jazz game....

and I ended up sitting like 10 feet away from President Monson!! It was soooo cool, he seriously was so close I could of talked loud and had him hear me!! He was with John Huntsman Sr. who I don't think appreciated that I was trying to take pics of Pres. Monson with my cell phone. I was trying to be sneaky about it, but I guess it was maybe a little obvious. Some of the people in the suite I was in, went out and talked to his security peeps (like 50 year old guys in suits-we talked about busting through 'em but decided not to) and asked if they could shake his hand when he left, and they said sure, so they got to. I'm jealous, but I'll settle for my picture that semi-turned out, but you can still tell who it is I think!! Anyway, that was two really good jazz games in a row!!

A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum

Or it happened at Costco, but funny nonetheless. So here I am doing all my food storage business. I go to Costco for a few goods, mainly bathroom stuff. So I am buying myself a few boxes of tampons (six to be exact, and they just happened to be huge boxes of 100). So ya know how when ya buy these, you try to be somewhat inconspicuous about it. Well, I realize there is no way to be inconspicuous while buying several boxes of tampons and a couple packages of pads. So my only hope is to go to a girl checker. So I find one and what do you know, as soon as I step up, a strapping young man decides to help me unload my cart (that's what I get for buying 52 lbs of dog food). So he starts unloading and picks up one of the boxes (of 100 remember) and the bottom is apparently not glued shut because all 100 of them pour out of the box and all over the place. My entire cart is filled with tampons. At this point there are about 4 people behind me in line. So I push my cart up a little and they are falling through all the holes in the cart, and I am leaving a trail of tampons behind me. The guys face gets so red, he just starts picking them up and shoving them back in the box. (Sidenote: tampons cannot be shoved back in a box and come close to fitting, imagine shoving dominoes back in the tin instead of stacked, it just isn't happening) So I say, "hey, do you care if I get a new box." And he looks quite relieved and races off to go get me a new box, probs just dying to leave me to my overflowing cart. So I'm just sitting there with all these peeps behind me, waiting for my new box and there is Mag in his carseat in the cart that is now completely empty of all groceries but piles of tampons that are still falling through the holes. The guy comes back and says, (still red faced) I can't find them, I don't even know which aisle they're on, I never have to buy these. So a new girl helper goes back to get them. I'm still waiting by my sweet looking cart. Then she comes back and can't quite get through the line, so holds up 2 boxes and asks, "was it Super or Regular?" "Super" I say. Then I just picked up Mag's car seat and move it to a different cart and walk off with all my goods. The end.

Cute Mag

Hey Peeps, This is a cute pic of Mag, I hope it turns out... I took it today 3/30/08. He's a freakin doll!!

Pinewood Derby

Here are the proud boys at their first pinewood derby. They kicked it hard! Toj won most of his races by just missed the finals. Dax won everything there was to win. Took home the trophy and is as proud as can be. We are so proud of Toj and Dax.

Chillin' with the Miles

A few pictures from the westerners gone east

Here are a few new pictures of Miles and company. My favorite is the one with Miles telling Mase a secret. Mase is pretty excited about it, luckily he speaks baby so he knows just what Miles is saying.

Miles in Style

Alisssssa?

Alissa it seems you have a story to tell about Vegas?

Where Are You?????

So hi peops. I'm just wondering where the heck everyone is. How come no one ever gets on here, or if they do, no one ever comments? We need some fresh info on here. Obviously, us stay at homers can't do all of the comments. We run out of fresh material to talk about pretty quickly. You peops with more exciting lives, start postin' and commentin'. Where are you all??

Ange,
I was talkin to Holl on the phone and she was telling me about the story when you guys shared an alarm clock table, then you asked for one for Christmas, and Holl is the one that got a new one. You got shafted and got noth. Then Holl wouldn't give up the table you guys shared, so Holl got 1 and a half tables, and you just got a measely half of a table. I was laughing pretty hard when Holl told me this story. Then I thought of the time that you decided to take it upon yourself to do the same thing to me.
There was this time that I didn't have a bike, and I wanted one so bad. You already had a yellow dirt bike, and then mom and dad got you a brand new ten speed. So dad told me I could have your yellow dirt bike, and oh were you mad. Then you told me when dad wasn't around that I couldn't have your bike, and I had to always ask you to ride it, and if I didn't ask your permission, I was pretty much dead. So you had 2 bikes, and I had none.
Does this story sound like something that happened to you?

American idol

So Case, i've been meanin to ask ya if you were just lovin American Idol the last couple weeks with the Beatles. When Michael John sang "...woke up, got outta bed, pulled the comb across my head" it brought me back to that day down in your old bedroom/Dustin's/Bud's when you sang that song to me and i was like, what the freak? What is that psycho song? Anyways, it made me kinda like his performance, cuz it is such a freakish song. Same with Day Trooper (Tripper it turns out to be), but that dude didn't sing it like i wanted it to be sung. Plus, me and Holl talked about it, but i don't know if anyone else saw.... the week when David Archuletta forgot his lyrics. Did any of you see his Dad's G's in his home video? LOL, Oh that was the goods, I was laughin.

Rowler

The deadline for the Rowler has come and gone. Remember that we are doing that? I have a few peops already, so just quickly sit down and write yours, send it my way, and in a day or two I'll email them all out to you all. Easy, painless, well worth it. Also, if you have an email address that you prefer me to use, send it from there and if any husbands or in-laws want a copy to their email, I don't have many of those addresses either. Happy Rowlin'.

Just thought you would all want to see how fat Saylor baby is getting.
If you were wondering where her knees are, they have disappeared in her fat.

This picture is the saddest and the cutest. This is when she was sick like 2 weeks ago. It was one of the more torch times of being a mother, well after the first 3 months of her life! Also take notice of my hair in the back ground, it HASN'T gone straight like I was told it would.
Just her being cute. In case you are thinkin, her hair looks kind of red, that is cuz it is kinda red, like starwberry blondish, brownish. We are NOT jacked about it.

Cutest and greatest craft room.
Great idea.
A freakin cool pool.
One of the cutest bedrooms we saw.

So I am postin some pictures of the home show. Some you probs won't care, but I decided to share any ways. This isn't from the homeshow. This is Brientz room, and I love it, so I decided to share it with all.
Josh, this is for you, because I am going to have you build something like this for me, when I get a home someday. This was in a house that was 21,000 square feet. It was ginormous.
When Zach and I have a house and a pool like this, you can all come and swim in it :)
This was one of my favorite houses from the outside. The inside was the bomb as well. Off the master bedroom, they had a secret "lover" room, in a cave (it had a bed, candles and all the works for a "lover" room, I would call it something else but kids might see this), that led to a hot tub and then the pool, it was insane.

The Jr Miss-the next day

This is bird picking her wedge, with her jr. miss hair-do. :)

More Jr.Miss

Happy St. Patricks Day Everybody!!!

Since this is one of those cool holidays, me and Jete dressed up for the occasion and painted shamrocks on us. That's about as festive as we get from da 216.

BABY BLESSING

Hey peops. Just wanted to invite everyone to Miles' baby blessing. We're going to bless him in April or May and we just wanted to get a head count for who can come him April and who can come in May. Just let us know so we buy enough food for everyone. He's real cute, probs you'll all want to see him pronto. Plus, I made some delicious cooks today, though I might have put in a smidge too much flour. They're still deluxe, of course. The other trouble is that I made a baked custard and it dripped butter all over my oven so to have the delish cooks, my whole house has to reek. If you come here, I'll air out my house and give you a cook. Chocolate chip, butterscotch oatmeal cooks. Pretty good. They're in demand.

more pictures

Here are Bird & Brit.

Jr. Miss Again

Somehow that didn't work. I'll try it again.

Jr. Miss

Here are some pictures from the Jr. Miss last night. Bird looked gorgeous and did well, although she didn't win.

Here is a couple of updated pics of Aidey-guy and Cruiz. I can't believe that Cruiz is 6 months old already....and he still can't sit up. He is kind of limp when you hold him, but he can finally stand when you hold him for a record breaking 5 seconds.

Dan in Real Life

For anyone that hasn't seen this movie yet. Ya gotta go see it. I don't remember which peeps went with us, but there were a couple of brother-in-laws and we were all laughing and then pretty soon Josh said, why do I feel like I am watching some of your families home videos? Then they were both shaking their head the rest of the time. (We know it was in awesome wonder and amazement) Anyway, we watched it last night and we laughed our heads off again. During the aerobics part, I told Josh that See, we would never do aerobics at our get togethers. He looked at me and said, I know, you'd do a Fuller 5k. Wahaha to us, now we know why it's such a good flick, ya just want to be a part of that fam, that must be the feeling everyone gets with our fam too. :)

Shirts

Ok, so i talked to Bud about shirts for the little kids for the wedding. He didn't want to make anyone spend money on their wedding, so he said, "it doesn't matter if they have them or not, but it would be cool." But it will be kinda dumb if just a few of the kids have them, so we need to decide if we want them or not, and I say we just get them. I love my wedding pics when all the little kids were in blue. They're so cute. So do all of you agree to get them? Please post! (By the way, i went to Wal Mart today to see about them, and they didn't have them at this Wal Mart. So if any of you have found them, will you get one for Jete and i'll pay ya when i get there?)

Then I thought whats better than one picture? Two pictures of Zach! Enjoy.
The Zach, Part DEUX.

I thought it would be good to put a picture of me on the site, you know one that says "yo bam whats up?" enjoy! The Zach

Chicago!!!!!!!

Hey peeps!!

I'm so jacked!! I'm going to Chicago!! I leave on Ang's birthday and come back on the 28th, and am probably going to Nauvoo, which I am super extra jacked about because it's been over 10 years since I was there...with Scott and Sandy and their kids..............They hadn't even announced the plans to rebuild the Nauvoo temple when I was there, so I'm just really excited for it. It's good to have something to look forward too, and make me work Overtime again (although this will be a relatively cheap trip-since I'm just paying for flight and souviners! Plus, I got a sweet $100 off my flight due to my customer dissatisfaction on my last flight (ha-ha!) Anyway. I can hardly wait!!!

Shirts for the Wedding

Hey Peeps,

Alissa asked me to post on the blog that boys brown polo shirts are on sale at walmart if anyone wants the nephews to match. (Bud-Audrey-this would be your decision.) Those are the only details I know, so if you have questions please call Liss on her home phone.
Peace

For the peeps that saw on my blog about my feet.... I was just showin ya all the cool stuff that they have. And yes, i know and remember what my feet look like....that's why I tried not to draw too much attention to the part of my feet that ya know, well, that people laugh at, but instead tried to show how my nails were falling off. It's ok though i guess if people want to laugh, i have come to terms with it. :)
