Here are my 2 favorite lines from this weekend:
1. My niece Molly, who is 6, came over on Friday morning for some girl time. She had the whole morning planned out. Over a week ago she came up to me and said, "So I was thinking that maybe Friday morning we could get together and work on Father's day gifts ..." and she proceded to tell me how the whole morning would go. How could I say no to that? So I went over Friday to pick her up and she decided to ride her bike to my house. So I drove behind her, and as she cruised by all her siblings and neighborhood friends, sporting the cutest bike helmet and blue and white polka-dot sunglasses, she gallantly waved goodbye to everyone. They all asked her where she was going, and with out skipping a beat she turned and said, "I'm going to my girlfriends." Haha, I loved it! She is such a doll. I will post photos of our date later.
2. My niece Chloe, who is 2, was sitting next to me on the couch when she let a loud toot. I looked at her and asked, "what was that?" She then explained that it was her sister Shelby, who was in the other room, that ran over, tooted, and ran away. And that Shelby is very stinky. Haha, right Chlo. We all believe you.

Beam Me UP!

Do you ever wish you could be instantly transported to another location? Right now for example, I wish I could be transported to the Fabric District in NYC where my sister is shopping for fabric for me so I can make neat curtains for my house. I would LOVE to be in NYC with my sister right now.

Me and Charlee curisin' the Hudson 2 years ago... I need to go back!

BWAHAHAHAHA

Oh, how do you title something like this? I just don't know. Here is the explanation. My mom has been telling me about how she has been pin curling her hair lately and it is so cute. I didn't quite believe her, but when we were in Quebec she did it and it really did turn out cute. So last night I tried it. This is what it looked like last night before bed:

Apparently I didn't do it right cause this is what I got:



I call this one my George Washington:

Oh I'm cracking up just posting this. I was laughing so hard this morning. The best part is because Adam and I get up SO early to get to work, (we are out of the house by 5:30 am,) I wait to do my hair until I'm at my office. So I'm in my office this morning busting a gut at 6 am. The sad part is the only way to fix it was to wet it down. All the way down. And if you remember from my feet post, we don't have hot water at my office. WHOOOO HOO! That woke me up! But I was relieved when I returned to normal.

A few things ...

A few weeks ago Adam and I went to Quebec City Quebec Canada. It was a lot of fun. Quite European and very French. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip.





You would think that since he was the photographer he would have known when to smile ... Oh Adam.

These falls were gorgeous! I took the warning sign very seriously!

Changing subjects now. Here is a picture of our first summer dinner outside. I was so excited to have water melon and corn on the cob. The view wasn't too bad either. I am convinced that summer comes earlier when you own a house because you can get outside to enjoy YOUR yard more. You don't have to make a special trip to the park. I love it!

Last weekend...

My niece Abby turned 8 a few weeks ago and for her birthday she wanted to go buy flowers to plant in my yard. How cute is that? Well I did one better. We bought pots to paint and then put flowers in them. I am the best auntie in the world. I'm pretty sure. (Abby is the one in the royal blue, Molly is in the navy blue.)

Tree Climbing.

Last weekend Adam competed in another tree climbing competition. This time it was in Brigham City Utah. It was pretty lame to have to drive 2 hours to get there but we got to spend the night with my cousin Lisa in Ogden, so it was worth it. With the move and everything we have had going on this spring, training for the tree climbing wasn't a priority for Adam. He still did well, but not as good as last year. I was proud of him for finishing everything even though he knew he wasn't going to win. He got 14th overall.

I don't like cats

Ever since I was little, I haven't liked cats. To me they are mean and snotty. I can think of several occasions of petting a cat, the cat is in full blissful purring mode, and the out of no where it flips over and scratches you. Seriously?!? I just don't get it.

So last night I'm in my bed sleeping, minding my own business, when all of the sudden I hear what sounds like a child screaming in agony. Of course the adrenaline starts pumping and my heart is racing and then I realized that it was a cat. I wish you could hear me make the sound the cat was making, (cause I'm really good at it.) Haha. But it's doing this loud "raauuuoooooooooo" noise that I don't think you can even call a meow. A meow is cute. This sounded like the cat was being killed. And then I hear the thing hiss. What the heck!?!

The really weird thing is this isn't the first time this has happened to me. Same thing happened in our apartment. When I heard it last night I thought maybe I was hearing things, but I was soon wide awake, thanks to being waken in the middle of the night to what sounded like a small child in excruciating pain and the adrenaline that followed, and it was real. And to top it off, Adam has slept through both incidents.

I don't get it. Is this just something cats do? Cruise around the hood "prank waking" people in the middle of the night? I really don't like cats. Sorry for all those that do. Please don't blog hate me.

Feet

I love when it's finally warm enough to wear sandals. As of late it's all I wear. Because of this, over the past few weeks I have noticed that I am a very particular foot person. For example, I can't stand having dirty feet. I hate how it feels. Just the other day I washed my feet in the sink at work because I couldn't stand it. And we don't get hot water in my office, (I know, it seems so primitive,) so it was quite the shocker on my wittle piggies. I hate getting in bed at night if I have dirty feet because I'm paranoid that I'm going to get dirt on my sheets. Same goes for putting socks on over dirty feet. Yuck.
I can't sleep if my feet are cold. Just can't do it. I start the night out with a hot pad on my feet and once they are warm I kick it out and sleep the night away.

I can't stand having sweaty feet because that means they are going to be cold soon. Also when I have sweaty feet I can't sit indian style at work because the sweat on my feet would get on my pants. I know, yuck!

So there ya have it. These are just a few things I have noticed about my feet as of late.

Weeding

Guess who was weeding over the weekend and apparently giving the neighbors a bit of a show?


I was trying to figure out what I rubbed up against to make my back all red and then I saw Adam's back matched mine. Put 2 and 2 together and I guess we were bent over weeding in the sun for too long. I'm just grateful we weren't showing crack!
