My kids need to be funnier, or possibly cuter

I haven't posted anything is quite a while. I blame my kids. If they were cuter or funnier I would have things to write about but apparently they aren't pulling their weight, entertainment wise. Ok, so they do say the occasional funny thing like yesterday when I sent Dylan to time out Caitlin told me, "You are a very naughty fellow!" That's pretty good, I guess. And she drew this picture:
When I asked her what she had drawn she told me it is the Holy Ghost. He doesn't have three eyes. One of those is a nose.

On Earth Day Dylan told me that it wasn't good to throw things away because we are filling up the Earth with garbage. "If there weren't so much junk in this world we would have room for one more building! Or even two!" I love how Dylan wants to replace garbage dumps with buildings. Way to think green there, son!

funnier and cuter???? I don't think they could possibly do that - they are both already off the measurable scale! ha! The picture of the Holy Ghost was pretty good. She doesn't miss a trick, does she? And Dylan with the whole "scap the garbage, and leave room for the buildings" bit, now that is pretty great! See what I mean about the funnier and cuter part? ;) You are just too busy soaking it all up that you haven't time left to write it all down.

Yeah, I'd say those are pretty funny. I'm with Dylan, think what this world would be like with two more buildings. Very cute.

hahahahah! that is priceless. i think the problem is not their funniness or cuteness just that you're around them all of the time! the things they say everyday are just who they are to you, but to me who's never met them i honestly think i'd die laughing! every thing you post that they do has me laughing so hard that my kids come over to check it out too! they think your kids are quite creative! and that's comin' from my crew who are very crazy and creative! if nothing else, blog so they remember how they were...

10 years today

Dylan made me these hearts as an anniversary gift. Sweet, huh? Ten years ago I was newly graduated from college, in love and ready to get married! Well, technically I was freaking out about getting married, which probably made Ken feel super good. Most of you know this story and the rest of you probably don't care, but it's my blog, so ppppthhhht! Ken lived across the street from me during our last year of college (but curiously, we were 24 and 25. Oh, how I love BYU). He and his room mate spent many evenings, and when I say evenings I really mean late at night, in my living room talking to my room mates, Laura and Cheryl (hi guys!). I would emerge from my basement lair, tell them to pipe down and then retreat for my beauty sleep and morning classes. Ken would hang out then go home, watch a movie, go jogging at 3 am and then sleep until noon. Somewhere in there I assume he also studied a bit but maybe not. He probably just showed up and dazzled his professors with his ...

A few projects

I made this pair of puppies from this really cute crochet book: They were my first attempts at animals and they showed me just how hard it is to crochet evenly and then attach all the limbs correctly. Dylan and Caitlin accepted these two little guys and love them in spite of their lopsidedness. But I decided to try again: Following the same pattern I made these two little puppies. There are still many things about attaching limbs that I need to master. Once the puppies were stuffed their eyes never looked quite like they were supposed to and the noses were obviously stitched on off center. But I learned to pin the limbs into place with straight pins before sewing that that helped me out immensely. Here's the other project from the same book that I have been working on:

some things about me

Is it cheating if I reuse material from another place? Once in college I used a paper I had written for one class for an assignment in another class. I told the professor and he acted like he was giving me a free pass by accepting it. Whatever! I wrote it! Is it my fault that it fit the assignments for two different classes? Anyway, I hardly ever do these but I spent a really long time compiling this list for a facebook meme so I am reprinting it with permission from the author (me) here: 25 things about me. 1. I like the weather to stay between 67-73 degrees. Preferably with sunshine. I also love thunder storms on summer evenings in Utah. They smell amazingly fresh and rainy. I like to watch them from inside. 2. I have enough embarrassing moments to fill this list but one of the most embarrassing was once in college when I thought my car was dead. I called a room mate to come pick me up, she called her brother to come look at the car and tow it. He drove 45 minutes to rescu...
