I Told You So!


I was right about those 4 way stop bullies. I knew I was on to something. Thanks, Amy!

In some ways, this Portlandia show is eerily accurate. Curious? Season 1 is now on Netflix.


Kate is ever the camera hog. I was trying to take a nice, serene picture of my Sarah, when Kate jumps into screen. She can't pass up an opportunity to shine/steal the show/hog the spotlight. One of the million things I love about her.
One of the million things I love about my boy is his camera face. While Blakely grunted and tried to eat Margaret's face off, and Margaret screamed, Jacob just sat there, patiently waiting for his Mom and crazy Aunties to stop taking pictures.




So, I'm retarded, but let's not state the obvious here. On Saturday, Neal was repairing a broken drawer. I was headed to Lowe's to get a few items for something I was working on. He asked me to buy him some shims. So, I asked the nice man in the wood section where they sold their shivs. He laughed and said, "Are you planning to shank someone in prison?" Man, there's another time when the girl card can get you out of trouble. "Just smile and look like a dumb girl. Go ahead. It got you out of this scrape a couple of years ago. "




Speaking of girls, my youngest girl has us worried, but really made us laugh. While headed to Utah, we stopped in Reno for some grub at the Burger King. Reno isn't known for its fancy parts. We parked next to a pick-up truck. On the back was a lovely sillouette sticker of a naked lady in heels with an angel halo and wings. Abigail said, "Mom! Look at that pretty fairy! That's my favorite fairy! I really like it Mom!"




From now on, whenever I see those smutty stickers or mud flaps, I'm going to think of my sweet Abby. I'm ruined.

It's Margaret. It's okay, I call her that all the time and I did't catch it on my first read-through.

You were RIGHT!? UGH, don't even get me started on the 4 way stop, I think I've ranted on your comment section before about this. People are so retarded. 1 side goes at a time, counter clockwise. Not whoever got there first, or cross traffic goes, 2 sides at a time. It's so insane, and even more so at Jordan Landing because there are 4 ways stops like every 5 feet, I kid not. I do an awful lot of swearing in that area.

maybe if you would have gotten a shiv you could use it to scrape those disgusting stickers off. I do like the ones that copy the sexy lady ones though except they are chubby ladies, those crack me up, the balls do too even though they are gross!
Who would let their daughter date a guy w/that crap on their car?
I love the face of show stealer in the picture, so Hansenish!
Who's baby is the grumpster, Reese's?

I imagine hell is just full of four way stops and people just like that!

I loved that video! Travis is addicted to Portlandia! Love the picture of your little man. They grow up too fast!

I love Portlandia it makes me want to move to Portland even more. But moving to Portland from St George UT would be like going from 44 oz of diet coke a day to 0 oz a day. You know with the sun not shining vs the sun shining.

"Are you planning to shank someone in prison?" Huge props to the Lowe's guys for that response! Hilarious.

Portandia is weird. I'm a fan, but must say that I'm apprehensive at the beginning of each segment, wondering if they'll nail it perfectly (as they often do) or just come out with something weird and creepy (which also happens often.)

Okay,
Your little guy is T.H.E. CUTEST!
