Two Wild and Crazy Guys!


What does this picture say to you? Brotherly Love?
Pants impaired ?
Sunglasses inside are wayyy cooler than sunglasses outside?
I just see two brothers-in-law lookin for a good time and an excuse to hike up their easy shorts.
Long live Presto Jones and Kevalina.

Cool Beans

I How do you know if you truly love something? Well, you set it free and if it comes back then you know it was meant to be. Thats exactly how I feel about the masterpiece that is HOT ROD. I have not seen it since that amazing night at the theaters and recently I fell head over heels all over again.(Cinematic Masterpiece is the only way to describe this film by the way )If you dont adore this movie its ok because not everyone gets a punch dancing,animal loving, stunt attempting , step-dad fighting , super awesome soul mate like me.


Roller Derby!

Look at those kids hanging on for dear life yet still manage to crack a smile.

Flare nose.

Just call me Doctor Cool Roller MD.



Seriously,someone call a Doctor!


It is VERY hard to take pictures when you have skates on that are 2 sizes too small AND you have to stay next to the baby strapped in the stroller AND you are a pretty lame skater AND none of your 4 kids skating can skate very well either. Good thing it was still fun!

Chillaxin'

Maybe when my secret dream to be a Roller Derby Queen and call myself 'Big Assets' is realized these guys could be my cheerleaders (wear little dollar sign inspired outfits and we could dye their hair green -and I could have fishnets with fake money poking out of some of the holes )I dont even want to tell how well I ve thought this through but I will say that my whole outfit is pretty much planned .Now all I need to do is learn how to actually skate! Oprah says to dream big.

Idiot Savant Gardening 101



Check out my Wicked Garden ! I know what you are thinking WOW who's Man Hands are those?!? Well my freinds I have been blessed with many things not the least of which are my Enormous
Man Hands -Yep,I can crack a lobster in half in 2 seconds Flat! Dont even get me started on how many finger bends and finger crunches I can do ( I dont want anyone to feel bad but I will say that its between 50 and 100). I digress, my new love is gardening .(We are still in the beginning stages of our Romance so pardon me for gushing !)Its great to be outside,watch things change and grow and to maintain and eventually reap the harvest. I always thought I would LIKE it but I FREAKIN' LOVE IT! (Sorry Hubz, its not platonic anymore)I really know very little about gardening so I kind of guessed about how to do it and sometimes I would ask my Dad who is my gardenin' sensei . The tomatoes are huge and the zuchini is lush with yellow blossoms.A few green beans are starting to show as well as a banana pepper and dark green spinach . Next year I will have a better plan -more efficient use of space and water and I would like to start composting. My Manly Man Hands are very helpful in the weed erradicating department and I can use cheap child labor if needs be ( why else would I have 5 kids?) My Dad gets all the credit for building the garden and having several successful seasons under his belt -but I am very excited to find more ripe veggies as the summer goes on.

The Family that Sings Together.....

Mothers Day was yesterday and it was pretty chill and pretty great! My kids and Hubz and I all sang in sacrament meeting ( Kevin was nervous but tried very hard to learn his part and help the kids sing and never once complained -even though I totaly make him do it- and we all sang pretty well together ( Baby Sloan even helped 'sing' from the pews) and my goal was met - we started and ended together .My Mom and Gramma Great came to watch the kids stood still and didnt fight or fidget during the song ( a real concern of mine). Everyone looked nice and cute( but I did notice in primary that Nash had on blue soccer socks instead of black church socks-beggars cant be choosers).I wore the cool charm necklace my uber talented mother made for me and my sisters for Christmas(it has pics of my kids ,parents wedding ,my wedding ,sister pic and other charms too) and Ava kept askin' who's pic was on each charm and totaly playin' with it while I was singing my little solo part. Oh Well, The show must go on! We trudged through and it was very sweet to do that with my good Hubz and sweet kids. I felt very fortunate to sing with them and to help invite the spirit of motherhood and family to the meeting.Honestly, I am amazed daily at what smart and funny kids they are and greatful for a Hubz that still thinks I am the bees knees . I also need to give a shout out to my wonderful Mother who has always been SuperWoman to me. She has boundless talents, beauty beyond compare and a very generous and kind heart.I hope I can be half as cool as she is one day!Momma Fabulous I Love You!!!

Ants in yer' pants DO NOT make you do a Boogie Dance!

More Reasons Not to like Ants

  1. They ruin perfectly good food that has been on the ground even if you invoke the 5 second rule.
  2. They sneak in where ever they want cuz' they are so tiny.
  3. Sometimes they watch you .
  4. Super Ant strength makes all the other insects crazy jealous.
  5. If you have several children who sneak granola bars into your room and eat them ON your bed and let granola goodness fall between the mattress and the wall and down under the bed frame making a pile of ant delicacies -Ants think they can saunter in and chow down !-then search all over the TOP of your bed for more treats when you are sleeping and masticate on your corpse like body ,chillin' in slumber town you scream cuz' big fatty ant kisses are growing into welts the size of a winebago and wakin you up from a perfectly deep sleep !So #5 is that Ants dont have manners and invite themselves over for dinner whenever they feel like it! Oh, and they dont bring a Hostess Gift!
