Just now

Beckham : "Dad, your hair smells just as good as Ryan's."

Kevin : "Oh? What does Ryan's hair smell like?"

B: " Just as good as yours."

Me: " Who's Ryan?" (I thought it an appropriate question seeing my son is talking about the smell of another boy's hair)

B: "You know, Morgan's Dad." (That's my step-brother who recently was, very patiently I might add, a pony for about a half an hour)

Me: "When did you smell Ryan's hair?"

B: "Never."

K: "Then how do you know what Ryan's hair smells like?"

B: "Apricots."

Reunion

It's been nearly 10 years, Braves. They (our esteemed elected peers) have decided the date, time, and place. Check out the Bountiful High Blog for details.

And he's off....

My baby turns one in 4 days.

Apparently, he knows that too.

Let's all vote!

My cousin, Josh, wrote an amazing essay for the Golf Channel and is now one of 5 finalists! The grand prize is a trip to Scotland, with his dad, to play at St. Andrews, the birth place of golf. It now comes down to who the judges vote for and who gets the most votes from America. Lets help them get that prize! You can vote once a day. Here's how:

Click on this link to this link http://www.thegolfchannel.com/fathersday/default.aspx and wait for the little intro to load (don’t’ click skip) after a second it will show the finalists. Up at the top of the page between the Father’s Day logo and the Golf Channel logo there are some words that indicate different links…one of them says VOTE. Click on it.

It will take you to another page where the finalists stories are, I think. (It may take you right to the registration page.) Or when you click on the little arrow by Josh’s that says “open” it will bring you to a page that makes you register before you can vote. You have to provide your name, address, phone, email. They do this because a secondary contest is running where those who vote win a chance to be awarded gift certificates and golf balls, etc.. Then it will play Josh’s essay and there will be a link that says something like Vote for Josh. (I can’t exactly remember because it won’t let me in again today.) After you click it, it tells you “thanks, your vote has been recorded”. You can vote once each day—the next day when you go to vote, since you are already registered, you just give your email address.

Pass this link on to everyone you know!

3 year old's worst nightmare

After the kids had been asleep for a few hours I heard crying. I found Beckham tossing and mumbling in his bed.

"Beckham. What's wrong?"

With his eyes still shut, Beckham sobbed, "There are BIG holes in my bike!"

"Buddy, wake up. See. You're still in your room. Your bike is safe in the garage."

"......huh?" One eye slides open, "Oh. Good night, mom."


I wish my nightmares where as innocent and so easily fixed.

work in progress.....

Well mine is actually done, but I am just SO proud of myself I had to share. This post is in answer to this post.

I started and FINISHED this project in 24 hours and I made TWO of them!

It's a nursing cover. I, however, prefer to refer to them by the first name I heard for them which is Hooter Hider.

Hilarious.

Anyway, there was a double shower for my sister and my cousin. I went fabric hunting and this particular fabric had, literally, barely been taken off the truck. It was still in the wrapping and just lying unassumingly on the floor. I snatched up my treasured find and raced home. Each Hider cost me less than half of what it cost to buy one, even with the designer fabric.

I have purchased two of these covers and I must say that the ones I made are just as good. I even put the boning in them. That's right. I'm cool. But please no bowing.


(p.s. did you notice the chocolate brown?)



Excuse my boasting, but I am just so tickled that I pulled it off (I am a novice in the sewing department) and more importantly that I actually completed a project. I have a bit of a problem with that.

Just ask Danica about my 2 1/2 year old-less than half completed-quiet book. So sad.
