"There must needs be oppostion in all things..."
I Love:
grandbabies
my family
my friends

Pleasant Grove
football
to be warm
going to the pool
that I have a missionary son serving in Brazil
BYU
the smell of rain
I Hate:
that I am cold all the time
that my old body is falling apart
that I feel lazy most days
that Lone Peak beat PG in football last night...SOOOO lame!
that my house is not organized like I want it to be
dog hair
weeds, especially bind weed
chronic illness
when no email comes from Brazil on Monday
the smell of coffee
bad grammar
Just saying....

Random Thoughts
I decided about 30 seconds ago that I would post some random thoughts...just cause.
Random Thoughts (idea stolen from Tess)
1. You may have noticed that I have very few ideas of my own...I steal good ideas from others!
2. I love my 3 doggies, but still can't figure out how we ended up with that many.
3. I HATE dog hair! (go figure, see #2)
4. I painted my living room this spring and have still not hung my pictures because I can't figure out where to put them and how to make them look good.
5. I have no patience with parents who do NOT watch their kids. You cannot believe how many parents let their kids run wild in the Museum (where I work). It also amazes me that they let their kids climb on the furniture here. I see it EVERY day! Unbelievable!!
6. Even though I love the shoes I wore today, I don't think they match my outfit very well--hope no one noticed.
7. I never get everything done that I need to do--frustrating!
8. I am really good at being lazy lately!
9. I have four BYU Football posters hanging in my office. I bet that is a huge surprise!!
10. I really like Lennis!

Inspired...
Ok, I have to admit that I faithfully follow several blogs. Checking your blogs has become my obsession--I check them daily. Because of this you have all inspired me! Several of you write such neat/cool things about your life, your dreams, random thoughts. I LOVE reading your blogs, so I've decided to give it a try.
Confessions: (idea stolen from Brandie)
1. I am addicted to Facebook. Yes, it's true. I check it about 3 times a day! I LOVE keeping up with everyone!
2. I am aware that almost no one reads my blog--which is mostly ok. I do it for mostly for me anyway.
3. I am totally bugged when people use the word "anyways" when it should be "anyway".
4. I often mourn the fact that I was never able to be what I wanted to be the very most--a stay at home mom. Then I feel guilty because I have so many other blessings! (and I really do love my job!)
5. I am obsessed with Musical Theater--I can blame my Mom for my original interest and my son, Ian in my renewed interest. My childhood is filled with memories of listening and dancing to tons of music, especially "Fiddler on the Roof", "Hair", "Oklahoma", etc. My latest passions are "Next to Normal", "Aida", "Phantom of the Opera", and "Les Miserable". I would spend a week in New York every year and go to musicals on Broadway if I could!
6. I am addicted/obsessed with football! I love football, all football, any football! I have actually figured out how to watch football EVERY day of the week in the fall!
7. I secretly want to be a football referee! (see number 6 above)
8. I will post several more confessions later about my obsession with football!!
9. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, being a Grandma! Just call me Grammy!
10. I am SOOOO proud of my kids and their righteous choices. They bring me great joy!

Labor Day at Bennion!
On Labor Day we joined family at Bennion Creek for lots of card playing, singing, and a whole lot of laughing! It is such a fun time!
Brandie's family brought their new puppy, Brewsky!
Now this is camping! (Gotta love the fridge in the background!)
Micah holds a sleeping Brewsky while playing cards!
Yay for our banjo players, Justin and Darrin!

New Pioneer Day Tradition!
For Pioneer Day this year, in addition to our traditional Cul-De-Sac BBQ, we had a pie eating contest. This consists of paper plates loaded with chocolate pudding and whipped cream. Everyone lays in a circle on their tummies and eats the 'pie' with no hands. At the conclusion of the contest, a gigantic pudding fight ensued! It was the best!!
Lyndsie modeling the latest in pudding wear!
Micah looks good in pudding too!
'Sweet' kisses!
