10 Random Things

I got tagged by LACIE!

I wasn't sure how this whole "10 Random things" was supposed to go, so this is my version :)

10. I just ordered my blog book the other day!! I can't wait to get it! Here's the link to make your own for those of you who don't already know it-- http://www.blurb.com/create/book/blogbook?tag=3_sf

9. Does anyone remember how Kelly used to say, "UH-OH DOOP DOOP" and "DOING HERE HUH?" and how Charity used to say "HI TAWAH" and "PLIANO" (oh wait, she still does :))

8. Nate's going in today to have some tests done on his lungs. I hope it goes okay. I sure don't want his weird disease to stop him from getting his job!!! I love you Babe!! I'm praying for you!!

7. I never thought I'd say this, but I wish I had a piano calling so that I could be sure to sneak in some practicing. I never do anymore, kinda bums me out.





6. Don't my boys all look alike!! It's uncanny! (jk, I have no idea what that means, just thought it fit :)) I bet even Big Charity couldn't pick out who's who! Well, on second thought- that would be pretty easy since I put them in age order :) Plus we all know who Noah is, and Luke's has the date, and Nate's is obviously from the 70's :)......anyway.....kinda cool how alike they are though- don'tcha think!

5. Nate just did the coolest object lesson!! He was pretend Heavenly Father, and Charity was the pretend Prophet. He was holding something in his hand and asked all of us- do you know what is in my hand?? "no, of course not" So he showed the pretend Prophet what was in his hand so that she could tell us. She told us it was a ring. Then Nate asked us all if we believed her and why? (Kelly actually was a little suspicious and decided not to believe her, so she demanded that he show her too) Which brought us to the next part- THEN Nate let everyone else FEEL the thing that was in his hand. We couldn't look at it, just feel it. At this point we all "KNOW" what is in his hand, but only because the pretend Prophet has told us, and then we were able to feel it as well. Is that not SO SYMBOLIC!!! I LOVED it! I think I've seen him do this before, but this time it was really neat to see the kids get it and understand that that is how it works with the Holy Ghost and FEELing the Spirit testify that what the Prophet has told us is true. Kinda cool- thought I'd share it!

4. I just won at Red Light Green Light twice!! How cool am I!

3. If you ever get the urge to make the recipe on the back of the flour package for Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins- RESIST!!! They're really disgusting. Yeah, the name sounds disgusting too- I'm not sure what possessed me, I was pretty desperate for something different for breakfast, and we were all out of syrup. But Luke gagged, spit it out and said, "YUCKY!! NOWIKE IT". Brad took a few bites and asked, "I have ta eat dith??". Kelly didn't even try it and fortunately Charity ate a couple before deciding that they were gross. When I tasted them, it was a cross between lunch re-run dissapointment and my worst nightmare. I'm with Lukey-- NO WIKE IT!!

2. This one's for Annie- Kelly likes to eat just the noodles too!

1. Here's a sampling of our drive home from Jared and Paulette's house Sunday night for all those of you who have never ridden in a car with 5 kids. Keep in mind this is really only a short little piece of the entire 2 mile ride. If only you could read all the lines simultaneously- as that is how it was presented. It was hilarious-
Here goes:
Bradley: "Why it tho quiet out-thide?"
Me: "Well, everyone's in their house probably getting ready for bed- isn't it so peaceful?"
Bradley: "Yeah"
Noah: "waa"
Luke: "Mommy, baby cry"
Noah: "waaaaa"
Luke: "Mommy, baby cry"
Noah: "WAA"
Luke: "Mommy, BABY CRY!"
Bradley: "Mountainth fall down."
Charity: going on about something (I can't remember what it was now)
Noah: "Waaaaaaaaaaa waaaa waaaaa"
Luke: "Baby cry! Baby cry! Baby cry!"
Kelly: (sounds of her blowing up a balloon)
Noah: "Waaaaaaaaaaa waaaa waaaaa"
Luke: "Baby cry! Baby cry! Baby cry!"
Noah: "Waaaaaaaaaaa waaaa waaaaa"
Luke: "Baby cry! Baby cry! Baby cry!"
Charity: still going on and on :)
Noah: "Waaaaaaaaaaa waaaa waaaaa"
Luke: "Baby cry! Baby cry! Baby cry!"
Bradley: "MOUNTAINth FALL DOWN!"
Me: "Yes, Brad, it does look like the mountains fell down!"
Noah: "WAAAAAAAAA WAAAAA WAAAAAAAA"
Luke: "BAABYYYY CRYYYYYY!!!!"
Kelly: (sounds of air coming out of the balloon)
Noah: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Charity: Still jabbering
Luke: "BABY CRY, BABY CRY, BABY CRY, BABY CRY"
Nate: LAUGHING HIS HEAD OFF :)
I'm not sure why we find these moments so funny, but it was :)
