Sundee School



OKey dokey.. soo this might be another boring one. but i thought it was funny.... Brock and I just got called a couple of weeks ago to be the 14yr olds sunday school teachers. here are some of my favorite comments
(talking about Moses & the 10 commandments- movie)
Boy1- He turned the water into blood and the ghost came down and killed all the 1st born.
Boy 2- Did that really happen
Boy 1- NO duh you can't believe everything that you see on TV or in movies gosh havent you seen harry potter.


(I thought that was hillarious- comparing the 10 commandments to harry potter !!!! ps i did tell him that, that really happened)

I asked " if you were going on a trip in the woods what would you bring"
Boy 1- some matches
Girl 1- a tent
etc. etc.
Boy 3- " my wife or my mom so they could cook for me and do my laundry"

(another classic)

Thats it for now. I am sure we will have more in a couple of weeks !!!

Special &Favorite

WARNING: brock told me that my last post was really boring and nobody likes to read boring posts. So unless you want to read something about me my mom and eden .... it might be best if you skipped this post.

With that said here we go !!!!!



This last weekend my mom and eden came down to watch a couple of teams (that have been recruiting eden) play in a volleyball tournament. I always love it when they get to come down because we always have SO SO much fun together. So friday night we went and ate at Benihana, and of course ordered 2 extra orders of rice to go--- thats just what we do..... and since the tournament was in orem we drove down there and got a hotel. ( a special thanks to dear sweet brock for always letting me run away with my mom and sisters when they come around) We had some time to spare so we went to check and see if the hot light was on at KRISPY KREME and we were in luck because it was and at 10:00PM we sat down to some HOT doughnuts. then went back to our hotel I would love to go into every detail of our night and tell you that we got in our PJs and told scary stories to eachother... but whats more on my mind is MAW SPECIAL & FAVORITE. Now to some these names are just crazy ! but MAW got her name because we she is our ma and thats how addi says it but eden and I like to throw on a bit of a southern accent... but Special & Favorite go wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyy....... back .(ps. we were talkin funny talk in the bathroom at the tournament and this lady said "ok I have got to ask where you guys are from." We all broke down laughing and said Southern Idaho . HAHAHA) The story goes somewhat like this......
One summer my mom decided that she was going to "trim up" all of her bushes and trees around the house and give them a makeover. She was lucky enough to have 2 daughters- 1 that could drive and 1 that was pretty strong. ME being them both (haha j/k eden is strong, i could just drive) So she went about cuttting like Edward Sizzorhands- any thing that got in her way got cut off. So me & eden tried to keep our distance.....Our jobs were to load up the back of the truck with all of the branches (or whatever) that got cut off drive it to the dump and empty it and then come back and do it all over again. after a couple of days of doing this Eden & I were sick & tired of picking up branches & driving them to the dump and throwing them out of the back of the truck. our arms and legs had taken a beaten up from doing all of this. We had been complaining all day and ended up calling eachother a few names sisters shouldn't and my mom had had enough...... She gave us the talk that nice girls don't talk that way to eachother blah blah blah. So the "NICE" names that we came up with for eachother Were special-EDEN and favorite-Me. because eden is "special" if ya get my drift and eden thought that my mom favored me. The names stuck and we made them permanent. One time on our way from the house to the dump the branches kept falling out onto the road and since i was driving i would make special jump out and grab them and throw them back in. -----I know it doesnt seem like that hefty of a task but after doing it for days and over and over... it becomes wearing on ya. ----anyway special had just made herself an icecream cone before we left so she was ticked off it was her turn to throw the branches in in the first place.... so i thought that it would be funny to pull a trick on her. as soon as she came to get back in the truck i started going and made her walk for a while... most people stop and say "come on just let me back in" NOT SPECIAL she just kept running by the side so i picked up speed a little bit until at one point she was at a sprint she threw her freshly made icecream at me and i slammed on the breaks----- She ran into her open door and it knocked her down.. then she got up jumped in, retrieved her icecream cone wiped it off with her finger and started eating it again. I cannot think of another time when i have ever laughed so hard for so long.
Also throughout this time I LOVED the wreckers (michelle branch) and I had just gotten their CD. I made eden listen to it over and over and over all summer and it drove her crazy.... to the point where she actually liked it. .... There were sooo many more events like this that happened.
That summer was one of my most memorable. Eden& I got to develop our relationship and we had a lot of fun doing it. (our poor trees looked like they were dead by the end of it but they did grow back !!)Sorry mom that we complained so much about it.... I always thought of eden as a friend but that summer we became Special & Favorite friends!!! We went through a rough patch there for a bit and we have been working on things and being able to spend this last weekend with herI am pretty sure that I HAVE MY SPECIAL BACK and i couldnt be happier !!!!! Edee-eedle my needle- special-E-ETC.... I LOVE YOU !!! Good luck with picking where to play !!!!

PS. I love Brit & Maddi too!!!! oh and Dex

Suprise!!!

This last weekend Brock and I had so much fun! we got to go to Idaho on Thursday night because Brock had to work in Pocatello on Friday. ( I always like when he gets to go to idaho for work because then i have an extra excuse to go there) Even better this past weekend eden & maddi were out for spring break.... So We made all of these big plans for all of us to go a movie and hang out on friday.... It didnt happen !! but it was alright we got to still hang out at my parents house and then we made a quick trip to idaho falls to get supplies for our easter feast. We went to Sam's Club!!! if you have ever seen us shop together it is hillarious, especially when there are samples!! & if we have ever ran in to you or ran over your child we are very sorry... sometimes that happens !! On friday night brit chris and addi & the boys got to come down, it is always so much fun when we all get together.
saturday morning the boys woke up early to go get the cows taken care of. and us girls got out of bed a little bit later. then later that night the boys went to the priesthood session and it was Sage's first time !!!
Sunday morning we woke up (the boys were already gone to go take care of the cows) and got things ready for conference and the easter egg hunt. On saturday night madeleine had spent hours filling up easter eggs. so eden went and hid them all over our yard for addi, maddi, jack&holden. really addi and maddi were there only ones that got to find them. we watched conference and then ate Lunch !! which was fantastic. then the hunt was on for the golden egg !!! (every year my parents hide a egg with a note inside that says you have found the 100 dollar egg.) this year it was outside and our (1)first clue was that it was on the front half of the property. which really wasnt a clue at all. (2) on the front half from the green house over. (3) on the font half between the drive ways (4) on the right side of the center driveway (5) in the bark area in the trees on the right. (5) it is touching the ground (6) can be seen -not buried (7) on the west half. and finally........ Dexter found it !! that lucky duck..... then we watched (somewhat) the 2nd session of the day of conference. after that everybody went home.
ON our way home we stopped at phil & jills house and visited for a while. THEN WE WENT HOME........... TO A FLOOD ............ I opened up the door and i smelled some sort of a stench coming from inside. and i thought to myself. ok i know that i washed the dishes before we left and i know that we took the garbage out... what could it be.... so i walked in the door and stepped into... A PUDDLE ..... OUR CONDO WAS FLOODED. so i turned on the light and all i could hear was drip drip drip drip. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT. LONG STORY SHORT we moved our furniture- pulled up our carpet- turned off the water-fixed the broken sink- and have had the fans going on the carpet for the past couple of days !!! So if you come and knock on my door make sure you knock really hard because i will be in the back confined to my bedroom until this is all cleared up !!!
