Last night at dinner, we were discussing the periodic table,

(yes, we have odd table talk at our house)

Taylor was telling us how he messed up on his

test and added an extra electron on an element,

to which Bryan said,

"you messed up and made it a Nobel Gas".

WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT

Stockton promptly said-

"You made it a Royal Fart!?"

Oh My Gosh we laughed SO hard!!

I thought it was so funny,

until today,

when I got the mail,

and found out that we live

on 

SEX ROAD....

This came from our local 

SCOUT LEADER.

HELLOOOOO???

As if we weren't scandalous enough in this town.

I just know that the post office

here in town

is having a grand time with this.

Dur.
(FYI - our street is MAIRLOVE Lane)

Long Busy Week Ahead

I'm heading out this week.

A little bit sad.
Reason #1 - to leave all my kidletts
{and my favorite BFF}
Wow, it will be hard without Bryan...

Reason #2 - I will be going to
support dear friends
who lost their Mom
this last week,
unexpectedly.

ON THE OTHER HAND......

I am SO excited to be going where I am!!

Reason #1 - I get to go see
AWESOME FRIENDS
in Ephraim!!!!


AND


Reason #2 - - -

I have signed up for a workshop with

THIS GUY

 

You can check out his website

HERE

He's amazing.

Poor guy is going to have to work so hard

to get my stuff to look

anything close to his.

Very Cool.

Very Cool, Indeed.

So, I guess I should get off my OTHER BFF

[dear MAC, how I love you]

And get everything ready!!

 

Happy

{heart}

Day!

Tuesday February 9, 2010

I'm proud of my

DAUGHTER.

She wanted to participate

in the local

"talent show"

{otherwise known as

the 'Stars of Tomorrow'

sponsored by the Kiwanis club}

I so did NOT want

her to do this,

for reasons I will keep

locked away

deep in my heart.

I had a few piano students

that I had entered,

Because it's good practice
to play in front of an
audience.

If my daughter played,

I would have to

be her

accompanist.

I didn't like that.

She begged.

She pleaded.

She finally cried.

I asked what her motivation was.

The money?

Hmm.

Nice perk.

She wanted to be able

to stand among

those she lives with,

and show what she's made of.

To show what she's capable of.

To share what she believes in.

This was part of what was hard for me.

I caved.

I'm so glad I did.

just in case you

wanted to check it out}

already

this

anal.

but being this organized,

he'll do fine.
