Things I Learned From Boys While Playing Catchphrase

Did you know what the thing is called that helps you thread a needle while sewing? Well of course, its a "Bobby Pin"!
What happens when a girl doesn't wash her hair for months at a time? Oh yes "Split Ends", how could I forget?

Things I Have Realized- Oct 2010

While reflecting on why I am not dating anyone, I came across and interesting finding. These three comments were made by me, on different occasions with male company. 1."Hmm what do I love? Oh I know, good food. Yes definitely good food and babies." 2. "Oh yes, I hate wet willies more than anything. Well, maybe after genocide." 3. Here is the kicker. "My favorite men are definitely my dad and Bruce Springsteen. Oh and Jesus" It was only after I added the "and Jesus" that I realized the mans horrified look did not come from my omission of our Savior, but the statement itself. Needless to say, I haven't had any dates lately.

Cutie Emily

While in Idaho I totally spaced taking out my camera with my cutie little cousins so I only have a few pictures with Emily my little sweetheart. We sewed a little pillow together while most of the kids were out doing other things.

Boston comes to Provo

This is me, Laree and Ashley at the delicious Stan's Drive In, in Provo UT. I love seeing friends from home in Utah!

Feeling Aussie

This summer I have been hanging out with my Australian friends, Annie, and her twin boys Jono and Alex.

The other night Me, Andrea and Seth (Andrea's brother) were in for some Aussie treats. First we had hot milo with tim tams. Milo is a nestle product that is similar to hot chocolate and malt. Tim tams are chocolate covered biscuit with chocolate sandwiched in the middle. The way you are supposed to enjoy your milo with tim tams is to eat of one corner on each side and then suck the milo up through the biscuit. Next I asked to try some vegemite toast, which was surprisingly good. It was just white bread, butter and vegemite on to. (Vegemite is most famous from its line in the Men at Work song "Down Under").
Finally we had milo another very popular way they eat in in Australia. You fill a glass of milk halfway and then on top scoop in as much milo to fill the glass, usually ten scoops.You do NOT mix the milo and milk. You then dip your spoon into the milo all the way down into the milk so it sticks and eat it. It was pretty yummy.

Summer 2010

This summer has been insane! I have to move out of my house by June 1st, but my new place wouldn't be ready until the 16th. Luckily I was in Idaho for 12 days so I wasn't crashing anywhere for too long. Luckily, my sweet aunt and uncle were willing to let me stay with them for a bit. Also, some of my favorite people were there while I was! Danny and Lindsay True with there sweet little Oakley and Brighton. Okies turned two!

I'm going to miss Dan, Linds, Okies and Brighton so much! I hope they have an AMAZING time in Alaska, and maybe I will even come visit. MAYBE.

Really cute pajamas! I want some!

Celtics with Aiden

For the one and a half weeks my aunt and uncle are in Hawaii, I'm babysitting there four kids and a dog. I have taken pictures, but I don't have the connecting cable with me so you will have to wait. It happens that this trip to Boise coincides with the Celtics Lakers NBA finals. These kids don't watch sports so it has been fun to introduce them to Basketball. My favorite, and most enthusiastic fan has been Aiden, the 6 year old. He has actually learned a lot, but he is so silly to watch with. He would announce the score, Boston has 31 and Lal has 26. No matter how many times I told him it was the Lakers he thought it was called Lal. He would also yell things like "#9 has his shoes untied!" or "#9 has got a score!". The best had to be when he said "It went like in a toilet". I didn't quite understand what he meant so he said "It went around and around and around the hole then finally when down". He certainly makes watching the games a little more fun.
