A Spectacular Adventure

-
Last Monday my family went to the most amazing place almost ever: Main Event. It was my very first time to go there, and it was super fun. We went bowling, played a bunch of arcade games (mostly skee ball and need for speed), and we all got to do four rounds of laser tag!! I adore laser tag! And the last round was really fun because we were the only kids in the group and it was amazing!!


During dinner Joshua made the fatal mistake of telling our mom that he played the "Toy Crane Machine" three times. Which I may add was 50 cents each and he didn't win anything. My mom has always told us not to play those machines because she said it is practically throwing money away. I've had that hammered into me and I have never wanted to play that game, beside stuffed animals are not my thing. So, when my mom heard about his failed adventures she said, "Let me get this straight. You used MY money to gamble. And you lost." She shook her head at him and went back to eating our scrumptious nachos. (My favorite food)

Later that night I started teasing Josh about his failure at the "Crane Game". I jokingly said, "Joshua you just gave a $1.75 to gambling!!!!! You practically paid the Devil." He then responded by saying, "What?!!! *sniff* I just wanted a teddy bear." The stricken and guilty look that was upon his face when he said that was priceless. Absolutely priceless! On the way home he said, "I will never play that kind of game again! I'm soo going to stick with the racing games." So it was definitely the best night ever!!! We stayed up playing until 2:00 AM! Oh yeah, my mom is super awesome like that!
The End

What Happens When Daredevils Take On Crafts.......

For the past two weeks I've been eagerly awaiting my chance to learn how to quilt with the women in our Ward!!!! I went with Monkey this morning, and not only did I make a l ap quilt but I also found that I love q uilting !!!!! Because I was thinking so much about quilting I think it was hammered into my sub-conscience mind.........That's the only thing that can explain this dream, or I'm just weird. You choose. The Dream- In my dream I was running in the woods with a pile of fabric in one hand, and a sewing machine in the other. In the middle of a small clearing was a table, so I went up to the table and quickly laid out my stuff and started quilting. I was just a quarter of the way done when something crashed through the bushes behind me, one hand was still sewing while the other was hitting the creature that was trying to attack me. I kicked and hit the stuffing out of the thing, and it left battered and bruised with it's tail between it's legs. I just shook my...

Yes this is all true!

I have said many crazy things in my life. Most of them my mom has already blogged. So I'm going to blog this one. Besides it is my story. When we were at the pool Friday my mom wanted me to pull her around the pool. I did it, then I tried to pick her up in the water. I jokingly told her that I'll have to get married in a pool so my husband could carry me over the threshold. Please remember that I was joking. Well anyway this summer we spent a lot of it at the pool. So we saw the lifeguards frequently. One of them always had his Rubik cube with him, I thought it was interesting. So when I got home I said,"Mom I want an aerobics cube." Yes I thought it was an aerobics cube. I learned quickly that I was wrong. Because my mom started laughing and told me between laughs that its Rubik. Okay so now I get it. That's only a couple of the crazy things to have escaped my mind and come out of my mouth. So I don't feel alone on this matter please share some of the crazy ...

Be afraid, very afraid of the lama-eating casserole

Yesterday we finally finished working on the front yard! And I'm very excited about it. Before we finished Monkey, and I were talking while we weeded the big planter. Monkey was telling me about a girl in her class that can mimic all the characters on Napoleon Dynamite. I was laughing and quoting Tina's moment in the casserole spotlight until mom who was a couple feet away from me asked what I was talking about and I told her," Hello mom, you can't interrupt me while I'm talking about lama-eating casserole." I had meant to say casserole eating-lama, but whatever it didn't come out that way. As you can probably guess I was taken over by my laughing. After my laughter had died down, and I could see and talk clearly again my mom said to me,"If there was a lama-eating casserole you wouldn't be allowed in a petting zoo ." She said that they would tell me,"Sorry ma'am but that casserole is a danger to our lamas so you'll have to lea...
