pictures

Here is more stuff about the 1/2 marathon we ran. The marathon peops sent some pictures to me in the mail of myself during the race. Wow. Pretty ugly. Then you can go online and see the rest of the pictures, they took about 12 or 15 of me I think. It's pretty sad when you think you look a certain way and then when you see the reality, it's a depressing thing. So, I got this new tank top from Wal Mart for 2 bucks. It's huge and it makes me look huge. My pictures look like my arms and legs are the limbs of some concentration camp person, my body is oversized, my face is red, and my mouth is wide open in most of the pictures. Plus, some of them are supposed to be me and they are really men. Gotta love it. If any of you want to see the pictures for real you can see the beauts on line. You go to marathonfoto.com and click on Baltimore half marathon 2008, then enter my name and bib number which was 11028. I would tell you Cin and Had's too, cause I bet they're some good 'uns, but I don't know their bib numbers. Mabes they'll put them on here. Enjoy the looking.

A little of everything

This is from a few weeks ago when Zach and I went to Ang and Josh's. Daxi was so cute and was readin to Saylor. Thanks Daxi for being a good cousin and helping me out.

So all of us Idahoans and Utahns went home last weekend and Saylor loved Mom and Dad like crazy. She followed them everywhere and wanted their attention every second. I loved it. Dad was sitting on the couch and Saylor just kept crawling in and out of his legs over and over. It was pretty dang cute. Don't worry her legs are still pretty dang big. They are skinnier and they used to be, but still giant.

Bird also performed at half time of the football game and we went and watched her there. She did good.

More of Bird. She is on the front, more to the right if you can't tell.

Some of the cards I made for Ang. Sorry I forgot to rotate them, but if I do it now, then you can't click on them to make them bigger.

And a close up of Saylor's cake. I am pretty dang proud of myself for how it turned out. I didn't really know what I was doing. Luckily we have an awesome sister in law named Alissa who does know and so I gave her a call and that is really why it turned out. To bad only like two pieces gotten eaten of it. I didn't have any or Zach. Oh well, it turned out cute. Just don't look to close at it and its real cute :)

This is part of Bird's dance they did.

Halloween

Hey to all the peeps, what are your kids being for Halloween? I am having some serious struggles finding a costume for Jete. If any of you have ideas, send em my way. Plus, i just want to know what they are all going to be. I love them in their costumes!

apple cake

I made a tasty apple cake the other day, and today. It is tasty, easy, moist, deelish, and seasonal. If you want the recipe just call one of my friends, I mean, me.

a swell plan

I've got a swell plan. If someone makes something good for dinner or for anything that we don't already have the recipe for they should post what it was on here. Then if we want the recipe we can call and get it. I bet we're all making tasty things and I want to know what you peops are making that is tasty so I can copy it. So, last night I made homemade chimichangas. They were tasty, easy, and good. Now, I expect the phone calls to come pouring in. Peace out, cookers

My running life is over here in Boise

So I decided to go running this morning for the first time. It turns out it was a REALLY bad idea since I had an allergic reaction the moment I quit running. I started sneezing when I got done outside but didn't think anything of it. My ears were killing me too cuz it was chilly outside. Well I kept sneezing like crazy when I got inside and blowing my nose out of control. I was feeling weird like I was in a pressurized bubble of some sort and then it really hit me. My throat started closing off, my eyes started itching, my nose closed off and all of the sudden I could barely breathe. I hurried and took one of my allergy pills and Zach got me some Benadryl. Nothing was changing, only getting worse. My eyes were itching and getting all puffy with the insides of them puffing out and watering like crazy, they wouldn't stop, and I could barely talk. This all happened in a matter of about 5-7 minutes from when I walked into the door. It was like the night when I had an allergic reaction when I first got married. After about a half hour nothing was changing and I felt like I might die because I wasn't getting any air, so I had Zach give me a blessing. Since then, my throat has quit closing off but I can hardly talk still, because it is still all swollen and my eyes are all swollen, my nose is swollen to help with the bigness it already has and it is compleltely 100% stuffed up. Not like a cold stuffed up either, its a really weird feeling. Some might be wondering, maybe I should go to the doctor or why didn't I. We have no insurance. Zach told me we should go a bunch of times but we don't have the money too so I said no unless it starts getting worse again. We called Mom and had her call Susan and see what the doctors would do if we do go and she said they give you a shot that cost a ton of money, so here I sit. I can hardly talk from my swollen throat and I can't breathe from my nose being closed off and my eyes are all squishy, nasty and swollen. Pretty sweet huh? I can't even be outside for more than 20 minutes I guess. I only ran 2 miles cuz I haven't gone in weeks and this is what I get for it. My breathing sounds like Linz's when she has an asthma attack. Who knows, mabes I have asthma now too. I am so sick of my body, it is torch, and I guess I won't be running again anytime soon.

TOJ'S LATEST UPDATE

So here is a more current picture of the poor little guy. He looks like he could be one of the Simpson's. So we went to the dentist today and took care of some business. He pulled the other 3 front teeth out. He took the big panoramic xray and said that his two front teeth got shoved up a ways. He hopes that just means that it will take a while longer for them to come down. He said it is really hard to tell, but it looks like there are no other major fractures from the xray, but there are probably a few small little breaks up there that he is hoping will heal themselves. He had to pull all 4 out or he said they would probs just turn black and end up having a few abcesses. He said that his gums are so swollen that it is kind of hard to tell if they have other breaks or not. He said basically his gums have road rash. Poor little Tojie. He can only eat things through a straw right now. But I think he is feeling better because he wants to go to school and show everyone and earlier today he never wanted to leave the house again. Until Dax came home and told Toj that he told the whole class that Toj's lip was bigger than his nose and it made the teacher cry. Now Toj is ready to face the world. Plus I thought I better put his note to the toothfairy on here. In case you can't read it, it says: Dear Toothfairy, Can you give me extra money? Because I got my teeth out the hard way. From, Toj. Toj just came upstairs and asked where his note to the toothfairy is? I told him it is on the cabinet and I was just taking a picture of it, and apparently he is still a little sensitive because he got a little teary-eyed and said ya, but I wrote it all sloppy. I told him that was okay and he said, ya, but they'll think I'm sloppy and not neat and I really am neat. So I told him I would tell you guys that he is a neat writer usually. Okay, I am sure everyone has had their fill of Toj's mouth stories, but here they are.

Fuller Foods Rap

Me, Ang, and Guts made up a Fuller Foods rap. It was pretty big in it's day. Some of you might remember it. I'll put a couple of verses on here in honor of Josh.

The toilet paper is 1-ply thick. We don't like it cause it's hard as a stick.
Fuller Fuller foods, do the Fu- fu- fuller foods, Fuller fuller foods, do the fu- fu- fuller foods.

You go dear hunting, eat some trail mix. You've got to take a dump,
Oh great, back to those sticks.
Fuller, fuller foods, do the fu- fu- fuller foods, Fuller, fuller foods, do the fu- fu- fuller foods.

The trip Josh made to San Francisco, as told by Angie Davis

So Josh left me today to go to San Fran. Now being the good wife that I am, I packed him up some snacks that I made for him, a bag of pokie mix (for you that don't know, and don't want Uncle Mac to look at you funny if you ask, this is homemade trail mix), a bag of granola, (turned out deelish Hol), and a few other things, but these may be more of the focal point. He picked Travie up at 8:00 am and they were off. Just as my eyelids were getting a little heavy during conference, the phone rings. It is Jose Canseco telling me that they ran out of gas out there in the good old Nevada desert. Then he says he ate too much of the goods, and he has to go diarrhea. Turns out they waited for a highway patrolmen to come help them for about an hour, and then they finally ripped off a piece of cardboard from among Josh's materials and wrote GAS? on it, and stood on the back of the trailer with it. They stood there for about a half hour with people pointing and laughing at them, and finally a Diesel from Idaho full of spuds (way to go Idaho) pulls over and tells them that he just bought a gas can with 2 gallons of gas in it and wants to know what they will give him for it. So Trav bartered him down to 10 bucks and they were on their way. Except Josh was about to crap his pants. Oh wait, he kinda did, he sharted anyway. So they come to a tiny little town with a Chevron and a McD's. Josh runs into Chevron and the bathroom door was locked. So he books it across the street to McD's and there is a guy in the stall part. So he comes back out and there is a worker there having himself a little break and watching Josh sweat it out. So Josh asks if there is anyone in the girls bathroom and the guy says he doesn't think so. So sweaty little Josh goes in there as fast as he can caper because he is afraid a girl is going to walk in and see him in there. Plus he has to clean his shorts, so he comes out and there is a lady waiting outside of the door. (the lovely worker let her know that she shouldn't go in there) He says sorry to her and that it was an emergency. She looks at him with a little disgust and asks him if he left it clean. She goes in and he turns to the worker and says hey thanks man for letting her know I was in there. No problem the little McDonalds guy tells him. He loved all of that and went back to the gas station to get Travie. Trav says lets go get some food at McD's and Josh says there is no way he was going back in there (couldn't do drive thru, had the trailer). So Trav goes in alone to get an ice cream cone, and that worker is in there laughing his head off and telling everyone the story. Travie loved it, and now you can all love it too, for I felt it was far too funny to just be heard by me.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT

Toj had a bad day. He tried to bite the back of Jav's head while they were on the tramp. Poor little Javie said he had a dent in his head and he needed a bag of ice. He thought he was quite traumatized.
I guess if Toj's teeth aren't coming out on his own, what else can a boy do? He lost his 3rd tooth tonight and possibly the bridge above all his teeth. The tooth on the left looks as if it should come out too, but when you try to pull on it, part of his gum is detached and about half of his gum comes down with it. This picture doesn't do it any kind of justice. I am going to take him to the dentist in the morning. I think the tooth that is missing (we had to pull that one out so that we could figure out what kind of a mess was behind it, actually I made my neighbor pull it out because Josh is in San Francisco) is what did most of the damage to his gums. It seems it did some kind of flip and cut up all the inside of his gums. But the worst part is the bridge, which doesn't come across on the picture too good. Right above your teeth you have that bridge that goes all the way around your teeth. It is hard if you feel it, Toj's feels like hamburger above that little area. It actually feels like a bunch of broken little pieces of something hanging out up there. Pretty sick huh. Baby do you wish that I went with Josh to San Fran so that you could be here for this sweet one? I guess it doesn't matter which of us calls the neighbors over. Well Toj is now very sad and was in the bathroom crying because he is afraid he is going to be ugly the rest of his life. I'll let you know what the dentist says. Peace for now peeps.

okay Case, here it is, Sorry the one is sideways, it rotated it, then showed up sideways
