Tag You're It!

I agree with Shantell- these tags just aren't as fun after I read Gen's first, because she has such a funny sense of humor. It makes my post look pathetic. But here goes. . .

Eight things I did yesterday:
1. Took family pictures. (see previous post)

2. Yelled at Porter for burping repeatedly for fifteen minutes while I was trying to take a nap. He just doesn't understand why I think that's annoying???

3. Yelled at Brooke for bouncing the volleyball on our kitchen floor over. and over. and over. and over. She was also making this lovely noise while I was trying to nap.

4. Updated my blog. (Two days in row- look at me go!)

5. Talked to Sian :)

6. Saw Dave, my old co-worker from the Gateway. I miss that man.

7. Thought about going for a run, but instead. . .

8. Ate brownies and ice cream!

Family Pictures

Family pictures are torture. Not because I don't love my family, but because it it is virtually impossible for all of us to cooperate at the exact same moment to get one decent picture. Zack and Taigen pull faces. My dad pushes me over. Alisha and Porter fight over who is touching who. Jason pulls Brooke's hair. And my poor mother yells at all of us to hold still and smile. She was so frustrated she even swore at my dad. Which gave all of us a good laugh. (When we got home Zack said "Mom, you taught me some new words tonight.") Love that kid. Anyway, our lovely photographer happened to catch one perfect moment of all of us being our true selves.











I think my dad's face is the best though. :)

After all the fun tonight, we get to do it again on Wednesday. My mom doesn't really like any of them. (I don't know why, I think they turned out great. . . Don't you??)

California Creeper - Part 2

I was going to finish the amazing story about the California Creeper that was started earlier- but the person who wrote it is now gone for two years to Guatemala. I would finish it myself, but I don't have quite the imagination that he does. Unfortunately. So, let it suffice to say that I'm going to miss Sian Freakin Smith while she is in Cali for fall semester. She was my lunch buddy- and we made the best lunches ever. She was my motivator to work out. She was the one person who I couldn't lie to- she has a sixth sense about when I'm not feeling the greatest. (It's kind of creepy. :) She was my study buddy in the library, where amazingly enough we actually did study. She stayed up late with me, and by that I mean, she made me stay up late with her :) We laughed at the same jokes- even when they weren't funny to anyone else. (Caitlin, you're such a maitlin!) Creeper, remember when I stole your pill pill? And then I gave it back but Sade and Kij stole it again before you realized it? We searched the whole blasted apartment building for that dumb thing. Ha ha. Good times. :) Long story short... She's my bestie.
Creeper I'm going to miss you this fall. If you don't come back in the spring, you know what will happen. It won't be pretty.
