8 year olds....too funny!

I had a funny conversation with my next door neighbor tonight. She is 8, and is such a cutie pie. She makes me laugh. Anytime I am letting the dogs out, she will hear me yell at them and open her bedroom window and hang out and talk to me. Such a character...anyways the conversation went something like this.
Me: what are you doing for Christmas this year Emma?

Emma: Going to my grandmas house...she lives in lindon. Do you believe in Santa Clause?

Me: (thinking that she believed in him) Of course I do. Why?

Emma: I don't cause I totally saw my mom putting the presents under the tree one year. You must be pretty crazy to still believe in him at your age, cause you are pretty old aren't you? I bet your older than my mom and she is in her fortys. You don't even have any kids home anymore.

Me: Um.....hmmmm.....Yep I am pretty old, but I haven't even had kids yet. I guess I won't lie...you mom and dad are santa clause. Well I better go inside, my dinner is going to burn. See Ya.

Teach her to call me old. I will give her credit, her mom is gorgeous and does not look forty at all, she doesn't even look thirty, so I can see how she can get confused. Silly Emma.

I..SNIFF....HATE...SNEEZE...COLDS.....COUGH COUGH!!!!!!

Funny Pictures

So do you ever go through your pictures and find some that just crack you up. Well I sure found some pretty funny ones, that I don't think I ever blogged about.

Please Enjoy!

My oh so attractive husband. I have many a stories to go along with not only these ridiculous glasses but also his dress blues. Lets just say, that after some wild dancing at our last marine corps ball, we have to have a fairly severe split stitched back up, and the sides let out. I don't think that he will be getting so "low low low low" anymore.

Hahahahahahahaha. Oh boy. So when we were living in our apartment in P.G, one morning turned out to be very interesting. I was getting ready in the bathroom and I could hear this really weird banging on our bedroom window. I didn't think much of it, since the kids upstairs would always throw rocks and balls down the window wells. Well it continued for a few more minutes, until I heard this wild screeching noice. I went and opened the blinds and found.....a freaking rooster. Well after a call to animal control, we got he out and returned to our neighbor who lived behind us. Needless to say, that was not the last time that dang thing was seen or heard in our yard, or window well.

Silly Kippie, never leave your puppies unattended while putting laundry away.

This one just makes me laugh. It's my friends little sister and her friend, and I saw the friends face and about peed my pants. Oh boy.

Start looking through your old pictures. You never know what you will find.

Thankful Thursday

Once again Thanksgiving is upon us, and I don't even know where to begin on all the wonderful blessings I am thankful for.

Most definitely number 1 on my list...my family, parents, hubby, sisters, in-laws, nieces and nephews, dogs and guinea pigs.

Our beautiful home that truly is a home and not just a house. It's amazing how quickly a house can become that, and how warm and safe I feel pulling into my garage each night.

My amazing husband, and all that he does for me, even when is half a world away.
The oh so special early morning phone calls Grant and I get to have, just so we can talk about how boring yet busy our lives are. I wouldn't trade those precious moments for anything.

My desire to still be a mother...even after dealing with 20 three year olds every sunday in nursery.

Someday I will be writing that I am thankful for my children, but until then, I definitely thankful for my four legged children and for them always making me laugh, and keeping me company

My Job, even though it completely stresses me out, and sometimes I want to strangle everyone there. I will never find another place to work, that feels almost like a second home and a second family.

My wonderful friends, even though I don't see them very often, I still know they are there.
P.S who ever reads this, we need to get together sometime!

The food that is placed on our table each night, whether it be an actual meal, or a bowl of cereal because I'm too lazy to cook, it's such a blessing to have.

The t.v and radio to fill the silence of my home while grant is gone. It gets pretty quiet around here.

The gospel, the blessings of tithing, my visiting teachers, my nursery kids, the comforting power of prayer, the knowledge in the scriptures.

The blessings of the temple and my ability to look out my window each day and see the timp temple, and remind me of my wonderful covenants, and the power of knowing that my family is forever.

The air that I breath, my health and strength, (even while fighting this yucky cold, I am still much healthier than a lot of people).

For this time of year, to remind us of all of our wonderful blessings, to spend with family and friends, and to know that each year, we are given more and more.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.

Jello Anyone?

So I was given one food assignment to make for Thanksgiving....Jello Salad! Who is their right mind could screw up jello salad?......ME!

1st attempt (Kelli's thoughts) "I don't want to put in yogurt because I don't have any, it will take way to long to make, and seeing as how it's 7:00 in the morning, I really don't want to run to the store". So I just made the jello without the yogurt and this is what it looked like.

mmmmmm mmmmm. Don't you just want to eat a big ole gob of that? I sure did...delish.

Needless to say, that attempt ended up in the garbage.( oh and if you can't tell, there are three different jello layers in that. Raspberry, Orange and Lime.)

Aaaahhhh, but behold, attempt number 2 (with yogurt) has succeeded, after a second trip to the grocery store for J E L L O....it's alive!

The Griswolds

Merry Christmas!!!!!
