Ron Paul

I had heard that Ron Paul was coming to the College of Idaho, so I made a note of it thinking it would be cool to attend. A couple days after Trey broke his leg I thought that it would be really cool if I took the kids and somehow got Ron Paul to sign Trey's cast. So, Friday rolls around and I am preparing all day. Trey helped me make a sign, and I printed out a map of the college so we would know where to go. We get to the college and thanks to our handicap sign we get front row parking. The auditorium was packed, so Trey, Nix, and I get to the very back row sit down and enjoy the speech. The kids did so well. They really got in the groove of clapping and cheering by the end. It was hilarious. I am not a political fanatic or anything, so I was a little out of my element. But hey I guess it's good to expose your kids to stuff right. There are like 5 minutes left of his talk (which I didn't know) and Trey is yelling I gotta go pee! Great all the exits are blocked by the crowd. I found a side exit open. I drag the kids out this side door and it is the exact spot I want to be. Minutes later Ron Paul and his head dude walk right by us. They are going to the area out front designated for autographs, picts, etc. I grab our stroller, which is in the car also right next to us and we plow through the masses. I have Trey holding his sign on my shoulders and am pushing Nix in the umbrella stroller. We get to the chaos and win over some kind peoples hearts with our signs and they let us go ahead of them in the line. And that's when it happens. Ron Paul signs Trey's cast. I did it. I had been so excited for days about the possibility of it and it worked. I know I am freaking crazy and who gives a crap about Ron Paul. But holy freaking cool. My kid is awesome. Everyone is gonna want to sign his cast now. Oh and Trey never went pee. He made it all the way home.

I won!

So a couple of Friday's ago Tyson and I went to this open house for this new drink called JUS that our friend Eric is selling. They had a drawing for some prizes and lucky me won!! I won a 20" Sharp flat screen tv. It is like the coolest thing ever. Yeah me! Oh and my camera sucks, so no pictures. But it's really cool. And you should check out JUS it's the best antioxidant drink ever in the whole wide world and buy lots of it.

Boys...

Well today started out as a good day. First of all it is 4-20, Tyson and I had started our smoke a-thon in support of our favorite holiday, (not really) and second it was stake conference, so no church... That was until around 2:30 when Tyson is feeding the kids and is apparently too blazed. Long story short, Trey fell with his leg stuck through the back of the kitchen chair and landed on the chair on the floor, which subsequently led us the emergency room, and Trey with a broken leg... Poor little guy was a trooper and was conned into the x-rays with some Thomas stickers. Tomorrow we take him to the doctor to get the cast on.

The Bears....

This Saturday there was a kid expo at Sportsman's Warehouse. There were all sorts of fun activities and you could get your picture taken with a bear cub from Bear World. Luckily, Tyson's parents were down for the weekend. The line to get your picture taken was over 45 minutes long. Lonnie stood in line while Ty's mom and I took the kids around to different activities. We made trail mix, and Trey got his face painted. The boys also got to climb around in one of Nampa's fire engines, and see the police departments K-9 patrol. Too bad my camera batteries ran out, because they thought the engine was rad. Trey totally freaked out at the last minute when they were handing him the bear, so that's why I hopped in the shot.

Tagged... Yipee.

Six things you don't know about me are.....


1. I really, really, really want a tree house. A ginormous one with a fireman's pole, and a trap door, and windows, and big enough to sleep in.

2. I took shop 4 years in high school and started majoring in Building Construction Technology in college. I worked at a lumber yard for 5 years. And I am not a lesbian.

3. I almost moved to Germany to be a nanny. I was all ready to go purchase my ticket and expedite my passport when I got another offer in Pennsylvania. I put the two in a hat and pulled out Pennsylvania. I lived there for 16 months.

4. I love to go swimming and can do flips off the diving board, and one of my favorite things to do is see how many flips I can do under water in a row. Every time Ty and I go swimming it is like the first thing I do. He counts, I flip.

5. I was in the National Honor Society in school. Got good grades and never studied. I tried to drop out twice because I would get depression really bad during winter. Somehow I pulled thru.

6. I want to learn how to weld, make my own jeans and swimsuits, cook really well, skateboard, and asparate.

I have lots more so somebody better tag me again.. I guess I will tag Tifani, and Mischa..

I was so Stupid.

So it's not a secret I was a pretty crazy kid during/after high school. One of the dumbest things I did was get a tattoo on my arm. Okay so I don't think all tattoos are white trash, but seriously this one is. I HATE it. I started getting it lasered off. So if any one needs a reason to why they shouldn't get one they can look at this picture. It smells so bad while she is burning it off, I have to wear this welding mask like thing while she uses this laser marked DANGER EXPLOSIVE all over it. The crapiest part is it will cost like $800-$1000. Those bumps on it are puss pockets. Yum.

California

Here are some pictures of our vacation to California. We stayed 8 days in Carlsbad. Did the usual touristy stuff of going to Disneyland, Sea World, and the zoo. The weather was awesome. We went with my brother, his wife, and their two kids. This is the first vacation my brother and I have been on since we were in elementary school. Trey and Nixon loved, loved, loved Disneyland. Trey got to talk to Crush from Finding Nemo, and give knuckles to Buzz Lightyear and Woody his idols. Tyson got to dance along with his new fav High School Musical. They do a parade during the day and that was the one thing he just couldn't miss. Okay not really. Much thanks to our friends in California for the pass hook-ups. And get this. We play this game to see who will the see the first person they know when we go on trips. I have never won. What are the chances since I grew up in a town of 1,500 people, and 3/4 haven't been out of the state. It wasn't until we were boarding the plance to fly home that Tyson recognized some dude from Ricks. Chandler aka "Tuff". I want to win at this game just once.
