jared: yeah, and next time we go, can you have them shave a circle on the the top of my head, so i can look like pa.

fondue

thanks to my friend jen, i am now slightly obsessed with fondue. my mom gave me a fondue pot that she was given as a wedding present. the closest picture i could find is this:


i have since learned that this is a very early 70's vintage avocado green fondue pot. the differences between the one pictured and the one i have is that my stand is avocado green and is a little bulkier than the one pictured.

i told nathan that i would like another one for my birthday. something along these lines:

withdrawals

i am suffering from serious withdrawals. i haven't slept in weeks, my body aches, nothing makes me happy anymore, i'm overly anxious and i have insane cravings i can't fulfil.


i need a fix, but february is so far away.

blog stalking


last night, while trying to fall asleep, i wondered how many people actually look at or really care about my blog. so i decided to post a guest book blog where i want the people who have ever frequented my blog to sign in as a comment with your name.

now, if you are one of those people that has never met me and you are afraid to say you have visited, it is okay. i completely believe in blog stalking.

to prove my point, i have a friend on my list "brad and malia call" and under her friends is "erica". now i have never met erica, nor will i probably ever meet her, but at least once a week i read her blog. she is hilarious.

so you know what to do, post a comment with your name and, if you want, your blog address.

as far as i know only 4 people read this blog, so if i only get 4 comments, that is 4 more than i probably deserve.

picnicing up american fork canyon again

time for some more pictures that none of you will really care about because you weren't there, but.... here they are.

ethan, marissa, isaac, kiley, jared, and amelia.

roni and rissa

shane and nathan

ethan, jared and isaac - yes jared is eating a stick

rissa, isaac and kiley throwing rocks in the river

amelia says, "i am a famous model. no pictures please."
on a sadder note, while we were up the canyon, a man drowned in tibble fork lake. we watched the rescuers look for this body for a long time, but they didn't find him that night. they did find him the next morning though.

some random mumbling

a conversation between jared, nathan and i today.
jared: mom, what colors make brown?
me: red, yellow and blue.
nathan: (completely serious) no, it's orange and blue.

i love him!

isaac's first day of second year preschool



isaac started his second year of preschool yesterday. he was so excited to start school. it was hard for him last week with jared gone every morning to kindergarten; he is so used to having his big brother around. his cousin kiley is in his class.

it is okay for jared to grow up because he is the oldest, but not isaac. he is growing up too fast. the kid can't sit still for a minute, but he is so cute.

shade no more


last night during the HUGE wind and rain storm, our largest tree fell over. although i did not really care for this type of tree, it did provide shade almost all of our front yard in the afternoon. so it looks like we will be planting a new tree in the front yard and waiting about 10 years for it to get big enough to be of any use to us.
