Happy Birthday Handsome

Happy Birthday Handsome! On this day, 45 years ago you were born, and the world had no idea if they would be ready or not! You have raced through life with tons of bumps and bruises, but you have made it! And we are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you! Have a great day!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Ok, take one very incredibly handsome man...


One seemingly simple, although nice motorcycle....


And tell me, how does this incredibly handsome man, not only forget to take the keys for said motorcycle (you can start it, if the key fob is within 10 feet of it), get to the store and then remember that he doesn't have said key fob with him, therefore the seemingly simple, though nice motorcycle, will not start when it is time to come home. THEN realize, that he doesn't have his cell phone with him to call his astonishingly sweet and understanding wife to come and help him, for the 5th time! So decides to go back into said store to use a payphone, lucky they had one...then realize that not only does he not know the sweet and understanding wife's cell phone number, but he doesn't he know his home phone number. Soooo, incredibly handsome man decides to ask the operator for help, but he doesn't know the address for the home that he lives in, so has to call his work, collect, to have them call HIS cell phone, that is lying on the counter, so that sweet and understanding wife can come and save him. Now, understanding the story thus far, he asks his restaurant to talk to wife and they say, he is stuck at Fred Meyer, which would seem reasonable, except that there are 2 Fred Meyer stores in opposite directions from each other, equal distance. So when sweet and understaning wife calls back to restaurant to find out which Fred Meyer, incredibly handsome man is at, they say, "he said, you would know!"
HOW DOES HE GET UP AND GO TO WORK EVERY DAY AND BE SUCCESSFUL! I Ask You!

Goodbye Taylor!

Summer is almost over. Now that I have recouped from having Michael's BFF from Reno visiting, we are having to recognize that it is almost time to head back to school. This visit can't be believed unless documented by some pictures. Michael and Taylor have an unbelievable capacity to pack as much into a few short days, and still laugh and smile the whole time! They had the incredible fortune to hit the drive-in (even running the car battery down and having to get a jump start), to playing ping-pong with energy drinks....you know that isn't good at midnight! They decided to doorbell ditch, without the ditch...they had to go back and apologize to the policeman that lives next door to us, him thinking something was wrong with them.



They visited Pikes Market just to buy a single sunflower,



Danced in the streets of downtown Seattle with a homeless man and a bunch of scarves. They walked through the woods, visited the Seattle Temple and went to church, (They even made it to class)!



They even sat at a sidewalk table eating a loaf of the best bread! And through it all, we were reminded about how much we love and miss our friends and family, but knowing that we will be able to be together again soon and it will be like we were never apart! Now back to school!

Lazy Summer Days

Like my friend Harlene, I am raising the white flag, and saying NO MORE TO CLEANING! (until the kids go back to school)! Instead, we spent the greatest day yesterday, exploring our surroundings. We found a beautiful rocky shore of the Green River, and the kids skipped rocks. Then came the handfuls of rocks, because they like the plunking sound, then pretty soon we cleared off the shore of the big boulders, because they make the biggest splash!

Isn't this what summer is about? Not really having a plan, but enjoying the small things in life? I hope so, because that is how my summer is shaping up!

UGH!!

I am trying to prepare a lesson for Relief Society tomorrow, and I feel like pulling out my hair! Any good advise would be helpful....I only have 13 more hours!

I GET IT!

As my dear friend Harlene, has so kindly reminded me, I have been tagged. What this entails is telling you 6 random facts about me. Since most people know my little quirks, I think this is going to be hard, and that is why it has taken me several days to come up with something. Michael had suggestions, but I decided I needed to come up with things that I could actually tell people.

1. I really like being alone. Kind of weird, since I live in a house with 5 other people, and we always seem to have visitors, but I love keeping myself company.

2. I once played poker in Monte Carlo. I didn't win anything, nor run into James Bond, so I quit while I was ahead, or in my case, behind.

3. I love the water. Be it the ocean, a lake, a river or even my bathtub, It makes me happy. Even rainy days makes my toes wiggle and get excited!

4. I was in Russia soon after it was opened up to the west, and was proposed to by a young Russian black marketeer, who wanted to come to America. (Too bad for him, I lived in England at the time).

5. I love Barbara Streisand. I have all of her albums (boy if that doesn't date me), and almost all of her movies. I used to watch Yentl over and over, and thought that I would love to go undercover for my beliefs, to give up everything to be able to conquer my world.

6. And now I come to six....I didn't realize that this would be so hard....I have a deep fear of snakes. Not just a little fear, but a phobia. I can't see them in pictures, in movies, or even have people talk about them. When I take field trips to the zoo, I stay outside of the reptile house, and let the other parents take my group of kids through.

There, now you know a few more random things about me. I in turn, am going to tag all of my readers. Post 6 random things about yourself, so that we can get to know you just a little bit better!

Sorry Robert

I want to amend my earlier post. I found out the cool guy that everyone was getting autographs from was fashionista, designer to the stars, Robert Verdi. Sorry, I guess that I am seriously out of touch with what is hot now!
