Blue Slug Bug

We were driving home from california as a family a couple months ago. My sister Lexi has 2 favorite things to do to bug every member, one-tickling. She gets a high from tickling EVERYONE. I'm not quite sure why but she loves it. And two-playing the slug bug color game. So we were driving and all of a sudden from the seat behind me, I start getting punched by a small fist. "Slug Bug! Slug Bug! What color?". So I'm throwing all the colors out there, "yellow, red, green, purple, blue". "Yep it was blue" she replies. "I didn't see a blue slug bug!" I said. And she said "it was a blue truck, I saw it was cool".

RUN!

I live in the most "students obsessed with fitness" place on earth. You can look out the window and find someone jogging down the street at all times of the day and night. Nothing stops them. NOTHING. Rain, Snow, Hail, Wind. If provo were warned that it would be hit by a tornado in half an hour, you would see people jogging just to hurry and fit in burning calories before the city was destroyed. This morning I was standing at the bus stop at 7:13 a.m. It was frigid. I saw a boy about mid 20's or so running down the street. When he hit the intersection, he pressed the button on the streetlight to hurry the walking sign and then to make sure his heart rate stayed pumping, he began running in circles around the light pole. He ran around and around and around until that little white man permitted him to cross. It started my morning off with a smile.

Lemon Air Freshener

Today my thirteen year old brother Michael joined me at a homecoming open house. I could smell a nice lemon fresh scent coming from him and I was rather confused. Since when does my brother smell like anything other than sweat and dirt, let alone a luscious lemon scent! I asked him about it and he leaned over and whispered "I have a car freshener in my pocket". He pulled out a brand new car freshener opened only to the first tear, letting out a lush aroma. "I wore these pants to the scout camp out yesterday and they smell like fire and I didn't have time to find other ones before dad made me run out the door so I found this freshener in the car". Who knew lemon fresh cancels out smokey campfire.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Grandma Wade is just fantastic. Every holiday and birthday she has a themed party. And we're not just talking any old party. Take a look at the menu/schedule and the green bread. We all wore leprechaun hats and had to say good luck to everyone as we left. Oh Grandma Wade. You are great.

Curler Stew. Quite tasty and rich in hairspray.
After taking this picture I got attacked by these.
We heard a huge BANG on the window one night and came out the next morning to find this...
Bananas sometime run out of energy.
Merry Christmas! Love the spanish maids that came to clean our house.

SHUT THAT DOOR!

A couple of weeks ago I went on a family vacation to Mexico. We drove the whole way down there and so you can imagine how long we were in the car for. After getting back over the boarder into America we stopped at a gas station to, you know what, pee. I was in line for the one person restroom behind a very heavy older looking Mexican woman and her granddaughter. It finally became their turn to enter the restroom that reeked like gosh knows what so I was next in line. And it was a good thing. I was holding it for a long time in the car. Anyways, after about 3 minutes of being in the restroom, the 4 year old granddaughter opened the door and held it wide open. I took one look over and saw something I wish I hadn't. The Mexican lady was just sitting there doing her business as her granddaughter held the door open for all the people at that poor gas station to see. Obviously the woman didn't want to be exposed to everyone as she clearly demonstrated by yelling at the top of her lungs to the young girl in Spanish. The girl finally shut the door and after a flush and a run of water they exited the restroom like nothing had just happened. Oh but something just happened. We all saw it.
