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.

Mom here - are you wearing your GLASSES as you fly through the air? Hope your insurance is paid up!

Nope, I am actually wearing safety goggles. And the outfit only looks like jeans and a sweatshirt - it's really the standard Olympic spandex outfit. Who knew?
