so stylish

Yay! I remembered!

"Wow, I will be so stylish today!" -Maddie
As she gets dressed into her Cheetah print stretch pants.

;) I love that my kids crack me up all the time.

a few good ones

Maddie said some stuff this morning that I didn't want to forget.
Unfortunately, I'm even drawing a blank right now trying to remember what I wanted to get written down.
I do remember this first one.

-- I was fixing her hair before school and she said, "Mom, you should work at a hair shop." She thinks I do hair all the time because I'm always doing hers, but little does she know, I just fake it every day and I have no idea what I'm really doing. Anyway, I began putting a lot of bobby pins in to hold things together but it was pulling at her hair really bad and it hurt so then she said, "No, maybe you should be a dentist instead."

-- the other one.... darn. maybe it will come to me later. :(

Togs or Undies?

This is an old one, but it's one of my favorites. I just wanted to share it all with you. This is your informative guide on how to tell how far away from the beach you can go in your bathing suit before it's considered underpants. Enjoy.

May the Fourth be with you!

Happy Star Wars day everyone.

Lost keys caught on video

Most of you have probably heard the story, but we haven't pulled the video out till now. So a couple years ago, Christmas of 2007 to be precise, Dixie and I took Maddie sledding in the field behind Kaysville Jr. High. However, when we finished and went back to the car to go home, I found that my car keys were not in my coat pocket. The car was locked, and we couldn't find the keys anywhere. We looked around for quite a while, and then decided that they were probably forever lost in the snow. So we called my Dad to come pick us up.

Well later that evening, we pulled out the video we recorded of us sledding to show Maddie. Then I thought, "what if the video could give me a clue as to where I might have lost the keys?'" It was a long shot, but I figured what the heck. What I saw on the video, I almost completely missed, but somehow caught it and was absolutely amazed. Blogger really compresses videos down till they look really crappy. So sorry, the video doesn't look all that great, and it's kinda hard to make it out. But here you go anyway:





So there you have it. I went back the next morning, and found them right away!

Jordan comes home this week!

And who's excited for it?


Ryan was only 6 months old when Jordan left, so all he knows of Jordan is through pictures! I hope he's this excited when he sees Jordan in person!
