i can see into the FUTURE

how to tick marci off

walk in front of the tv and turn it off while i am laying there watching it. then, start laughing and thinking you are hilarious. you aren't. all you are going to get is an angry lady biting your head off for getting between her and her tivo!

then sign your daughter up for a cheer camp at Hillcrest. find out on the night that she is going to perform...wednesday...that it is going to be raining and freezing outside...i freaking love Utah!!

if i have to see this one more BLOODY TIME

ok. so. i will admit that i get OK! magazine AND i read it, if only for the fun of seeing the glamorous being caught in their daily activities. it is a guilty pleasure that i am totally willing to admit and fess up to everyone. but, i balance this out with reading entertainment weekly which i think is a step up and a little snooty too. but, if i have to see a picture of THIS one more time...i am going to puke.

newsflash...your special "rpatz" isn't really a vampire and "all that". could someone tell him this because i am getting sick of the way he always looks into the camera EVERYWHERE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME with the whole "i am looking down with my eyes up so my eyebrows and face look like i am the worlds sexiest vampire EVER!" and i am also sick sick sick of hearing about him the other girl "hooking up" or whatever.
when are they going to go away???

we are never leaving this spot again

this is what ensues after you have been sitting in traffic at a standstill for around 15-20 minutes just because you had the extra 15-20 minutes to take the scenic route home.

and if i HAVE TO be stuck in utah...i want to be stuck living in there!

we promptly flipped the U turn and took the round about way home...cause i had me some partyin to get to. we saw Love Happens, and we liked it...so there entertainment weekly!

walking through farmland
i couldn't find Brenton so Brady filled in for him next to Kylee
putting those super healthy wood chips into your basket
grandma was left with saylee and tessa so everyone could ride the BIG YELLOW SLIDE. the pic is blurry but i can tell you who everyone is from L to R it goes...Brenton, Brady, Kylee, Marci, Walter, and Nicole.
Yeah, no burns this year from touching the slide with my ankle!!

HOUSE

THATMY

KIDS

LOVE

RIDING THE SPINNING RIDE

TESSA AND SAYLEE TRYING TO BE PATIENT

now a little metcalfruf fun. go back through the photos. this is kinda like a find waldo contest. there are three people hidden in the pictures in a sneaky way. if you can tell me who they are and where they are you win...something or another. if you are in the picture it doesn't count (sorry). good luck... this might be really hard but come on...GO FOR IT AND GIVE IT A GUESS!!

i HATE you Kanye West

i was going to do a post today about the fair but, i cannot let this slip by. i have to be honest in that my true hate came from when i first saw this IDIOT on mtv cribs and he had a painting of him being Christ. i am PROUD to say that i have never spent any money on any of his music (and never ever will)! it could have been anyone to win this award, i don't care who won it, but he completely ruined that moment for that person. it just so happens that i adore Taylor Swift and my heart hurt for her after what that AWFUL, IDIOTIC, &%$#@! DID TO HER! there...i am now stepping down from my soapbox...

a reception in 2 parts and...

a Friday Funny...PART 2

raise the roof Kyle!!
the devouring of the doughnut cake by two little boys

my husband and i decide to share a doughnut hole

...and now smile for the camera
then the music started pumping...

and everyone got a little CRAZY!!

the end...

and now for the FRIDAY FUNNY...

we went to the state fair last night (more on that next week) but, i just HAVE TO share this little video with you. watch what happens when Brady gets on his bike/tractor...and then Tessa refuses to get off hers...
