Tribute to school...

Here's my first and last tribute to school in art form.

Facelift

I decided to give the Blog a face lift. It's eyes were sagging beyond belief and there were wrinkles all over the place! I hope you all don't mind.

Rachel, since you read the blog - post something!!! Anything! Just so I know you are alive! Oh, by the way, can I interview you about Parent-Teacher Conferences for an assignment?

Should we send the missionaries?

Shannon,
Should we send the missionaries to your house to convert little Garrett to become a Mormon? Perhaps they should bring some cookies to convince Chubs over to the right side. I can just see it now - two missionaries holding out cookies, while the Episcopalians are holding out chocolate cake and Garrett running back and forth trying to decide which is better.
I thought the story about the cheese bottoms was funny too. What a character Chubs is...

So, just in case you all think that Shannon and the boys are the only ones who have escapades, it's not true. I do too. A few days ago, my roommates and I wanted to watch Ultimate Makeover, Home Edition on tv, but we only get cable channels and no local channels. So, we decided to pack up and go over to some boy's apartments to watch it, because they were all at a stake fireside. The first apartment we tried was locked, but the next apartment was open, and all the lights were on - pretty much just waiting for us to come in a make ourselves at home. We know that's what they wanted us to do. ;) Anyway, we did just that. We left them a note saying, "Thanks for letting us use your tv. The show was great. Have a good night!" Then we turned all their furniture upside down. That was the fun part. They don't know it was us... So, don't tell anyone...

Then, last night, we wanted to kidnap someone, so my roommates and I dressed in our best spy clothes, (see picture) and went to another boys' apartment and our plan was to run in, throw a blanket over someone in the apartment, and tape them in the blanket, then take them outside and run away. Well, it didn't exactly go as planned. We ran in, but they wouldn't cooperate! They just sat there - one boy just watched as we acosted his roommate. Needless to say, we weren't successful, and they knew exactly who we were, regardless of our disguise. Oh well. I guess I don't have a career as a ninja or a spy. I guess I'll settle for a teacher. ;)

Also, this picture is one of the newest Olympic sports - mattress jumping. If you get the right airspeed velocity and thrust, you can almost fly. It's pretty fun..



Well, I hope you all can still trust me with your kids after these stories. I hope I haven't totally ruined your images of me. Haha. Good night everyone.

Faker

So I don't think I ever told anyone this, but when I was just a little tyke, I remember I wanted glasses REAL BAD! (For some reason, I always wanted to be "normal" and break my arm/leg, get braces and/or a retainer, get glasses, get my tonsils removed, etc.) Anyway, I think I remember lying to the optometrist so I could get glasses. I told him that I couldn't see the very top line - you know, the really big E? Yep. He saw through my charade really fast. Sorry that this scandal has to come out now. I know you all are disappointed. ;)

Shannon, your stories about the mishaps of Garrett and Preston crack me up all the time! Keep them coming (during nap time of course...)

Isn't that the CUTEST???!!!

I love this picture - the boys look so cute with their matching curly hair. Way to be with the trend of electronic cards, Shannon!
