Off to the the Frozen North

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I'm not excited for the 5 hour flight, but it could be worse, I could have a layover in Seattle and then up to AK. Anywho, too-da-loo until I get up there and start taking some pics. Then you'll really be jealous!

Sad/Happy Times!

We are now the proud mortgage toting adults that our parents were hoping we would become! We found a cute little house in Ogden and we are stoked about. Not many pictures of the house, but it's cute and ya'll have to come visit after we get settled in. We are looking to move in around the last week in July/First week in August. The sad news is is that we are going to have to move out our ward that we love and the school that Ethan loves. :(

What the Freak?!

Yeah that's right. I just used a Utah original term, because here in Utah people are very conscience of saying expletives around the millions of kids in this state and because it sounds better on a post than saying, "What the F@#$!"

So, we are walking through Target yesterday and Ethan casually asks me, "Mom, what's sexy?"

"Uhhhh, I'm not sure how to explain that to you at this point in your life. Where did you here that?"

"On a commercial, 'Get that sexy V-shaped figure you've always wanted.' "

"Oh, well it's kind of like you're saying someone or something looks nice but it a different kind of Oooh La La way." And then I did a kiss-y face at him.

He grimaced and turned away.

What the freak is the FCC thinking putting on this stupid age-in appropriate material during my kids' cartoons?

That's not the only "What the Freak?!" story I have. Look at this face. Does this look like the face of someone who would intentionally take a dump on the sidewalk in front of my door? I didn't think so, but apparently I was wrong. She did.

This is how the story unfolded. We had just gotten back from swimming at a friends house and I was starting dinner. I told the kids to go outside.

"Take off your suits and brush off the grass!"

I hear nothing and then Ethan hysterically laughing. The naughty laugh.

"What the freak?!" I think to myself.

I walk out there and there's cute little Evie smiling up at me next to a little Evie S*#$.

I freaked. I started slapping her butt and dragged her into the bathroom to finish in there. Don't judge please. That's a normal reaction right????

Just a Little Problem...

So, I've got a problem.

The last two nights after about 10 pm I get these massive headaches and they get so bad that I can't sleep until almost 1am. What do you think it is?

I've tried getting up and stretching and drinking A LOT of water, which just makes me, well you know. And I took Tylenol the first night at midnight, after screaming into my pillow. That was a little frightening for Bucky, although he was so out of it that he was soon sawing logs again...

Do you think it's a sign from above to get some more sleep? To stop being so stressed out?

HELP!

Family Night

Mueller Park Canyon was calling our name after the temperature reached 90 on Monday! I'm always amazed at how much cooler it is in the canyon when it's sickeningly hot in our teeny apartment. We almost would have been good to bring up jeans. :) We made s'mores, Bucky and Alyssa played instruments and the kids and I played with the fire (one of my guilty pleasures in life...)

The Proposal (To can it!)

We have all been there. The house lights go down, the delicious smell of popcorn (making you wish you had some of that ridiculously over-priced stuff) wafts through the air and you get the anticipated feeling that the movie is about to start. I love this feeling. This is why I go to the movies.

I make it through the previews and the movie begins.

I have picked this movie because it is a movie that I would not subject my husband to. It is the dreaded chick flick . But, here's my problem, during the first scene I know I will not enjoy this movie. You know why? Because I've got the narrator behind me. You know what I'm talking about, the woman who feels the need to comment every freaking time the main man spills the coffee or falls. Yessiree. Trying to enjoy my movie here lady.

At one especially obnoxious remark I actually get up the nerve to turn around and glare at this woman, but to no avail! She would not be hindered.

I did not pay $8 to hear the inner workings of this idiots mind, did I? Nope. I paid to see a really stupid movie in QUIET.

The Weather...

It seems like it has been raining and overcast for about the last month. That is a fact. We have had a few days where the sun will peek out and the clouds will just move back in again.

For those of you who don't know, I am from Alaska. This is Alaska weather! Every time I talk to my parents, they are having GREAT weather. And it's got me worried. So, when I go to Alaska in July am I going to have good weather or bad weather? Because I know Alaska and I know this special state is only allotted a few good days of weather a SUMMER. They've already had all the good stuff for the summer. We'll see.

The cooler weather is good for some things that I hate doing in the heat. Like the zoo. Stinky in the heat, great in the cool. We went last Thursday with the cousins.
