They're just a little scared. Was it wrong of me to think it was so funny?

Why I Liked My Trip to Minnesota

1. My new sister in law, Tara, is AWESOME.
2. Card games, card games, and did I mention the card games?
3. New Sony cybershot camera with 15X zoom, with remote. It even plays music when you do a slide show, like it wasn't awesome enough already. Chaaa!
4. New Spongebob ride at the Mall of America, Nickelodeon Universe. Riding it over and over with my little brother Taylor, and his wife, while regretting the Mexican and Chinese we ate for lunch. AWESOME.
5. Terrifying my kids on the log ride. Ha, ha!(Picture later)
6. Thinking that 20 degrees feels warm.
7. Helping Mom prepare meals.
8. My four year old did not have any potty accidents. Not one!
9. Not crashing on the way to Minnesota.
10. Spending time with my Mom and Dad.

We Are Alive

We are in Minnesota. The drive was quite hairy. We only almost crashed once. We lost count of the cars we passed that were in the median. I would guess in the 50 or 60 range. We passed two jackknifed semis. I only cried once.


Now we are watching the BYU bowl game.

What I should be doing....

is getting ready to drive to Minnesota by packing, running a few errands, and doing a little last minute cleaning.

What I'm actually doing is wasting time on this computer.

Anyone got any motivation to share?

The Sibs

I have three brothers and one sister.

Here we are in 1997 at Grandma and Grandpa Whitney's 60th wedding anniversary. From L to R: Ronie(she and my brother are divorced), Trenton, Dallon, Lisa, Leslie(ME!), and Tay-luh also known as Traylor. Okay, his name is Taylor.

1999? In front of the Salt Lake Temple. Look, little Tay-luh grew up!

2005? When Taylor came home from his Mission. Can you tell who the pregnant one is? No? Okay, I'll give you a hint. It's not me. I'm just fat in this picture.

May 2008 at Trent's Wedding. And again, I'm not the one who is preggers.

This Morning....

I fished a train out of a toilet that had not yet been refreshed after use. I gagged.


That is all.

The Post Where I Forget To Title Cleverly

Lets do bullets for a change, shall we?

• My husband has completed his first semester of college. Holy cow! I NEVER thought I would say that. Way to go husband!
• I have a final tonight, Wednesday night, and one more on Thursday. Don't call me.
• My Christmas decor is up.
• Have you ever reached into your freezer to get some ice, and the ice cuts you? No? Am I the only one? Ah, well, I've also cut my finger on my own big toe nail, and yes, as my cousin Meeka pointed out to me, that could have been prevented.
• My daughter's remaining front tooth is hanging on for dear life. She has a plan. The plan is to lose her tooth at school. She wants to loose her tooth at school so she can go to the nurse's office to clean up the blood and to get a little treasure box to put the tooth in. That's a good solid plan. I like girls with a plan.
• Plan is a funny word. It rhymes with flan.
• Oh yeah, I accepted a calling at church yesterday. What? Really? You did? Why did you do that? Yeah, I don't know. I do know that I did take some heavy duty cold medicine before church. After that is a little fuzzy.
• My college algebra professor so reminds me of my sister. Every time I go to class, I get the urge to tell my prof. that. But then I don't.
• I have been up since 4 am. The cold medicine wore off, I had to pee, and then my little boy came in my room. It was all over after that. So I got up and ate something and went to workout. I'm tired.
• My little collection of cheap looking miniature nativities from Wal-mart has grown! Every year, I wait for them to go on clearance and get one. They are so tacky but don't cost me more that $3.00, marked down from $5. I don't think I could stand to pay that extra $2 dollars. I'm just not gonna do it. Just like I'm not gonna pay more than $1 for a Totinos frozen pizza. Nope, not gonna do it.
• I need to study. You should go away now.

Jealous??

I look like Britney Spears and Yasmine Bleeth*? Dude, does that mean I'm hot too? Could I get a job on Baywatch also? Maybe I should make a music video? After all, I do have mad lipsynching skills. Better than Britney even, if I do say so myself.





*This is where I strategically leave out the part that I look 51% like Donald Trump.

Happy Birthday Dad!

This is me with my Dad.
I never believed I looked like my Dad even though I had been told I do by many people. Then I saw this picture and I became a believer.


This is why my Dad is awesome:

1. He always keeps his cool.
2. He works really hard.
3. He has always honored his priesthood.
4. When I was a teenager, I would wake up on Valentines day to a card and a little heart shaped box of chocolates at my bedroom door.
5. He turns on his blinker a good mile before he finally makes his turn. (Ha, ha, Dad, just kidding...sort of.)
6. I've only heard him say a swear word once and I was like 24 or 25 or something. I bet none of you can say that.
7. He used to do the maintenance on the car I drove.
8. He would spray the basement with pesticide every time I saw a huge spider.
9. He fell out of the attic onto the dryer door that wouldn't stay shut once and after that it was fixed. Magic.
10. He used to make pancakes or waffles on Conference Sundays.
11. He helps with the dishes.
12. He's a trooper and keeps up with us on outings even though his knees are hurting very badly.
13. He is always willing to help out and never makes you feel bad about it.
14. He was in a band in college. There is a picture of him and his band mates in shinny jackets. Awesome. If you ask, he'll show you the spot where the picture was taken at the Tacoma Mall.

Happy Birthday Dad!! We love you! We appreciate you! And we hope to have you around for many, many more birthdays.

Love your favorite daughter,

Leslie Marie
