Sunday's Number 1 Quote

Mom: "Oh Mom, I forgot to bring The Russians are Coming!* for you."
Grandma: "Who's coming for me?"

Hey, I was just telling the Hillarys last night about Katrina's bangs + scissors adventure, and look what Calvin I got via email today!

Why Cami is Andrew's favorite Aunt

Who would you rather have as an Aunt??

Some blonde things I've done. . .

I got this in a forwarded email and though I might share my stupidity

[x] You have run into a wall.
[] You never knew that the Alphabet and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same rhythm.
[]You just tried to sing them.
[x] You have tripped on your shoelace and fallen.
[x] You have choked on your own spit.
[] You have accidentally caught something on fire.
[] You tried to drink out of a straw, but it went into your nose/eyes/cheek.
[x] You have caught yourself drooling.
[x] If someone says "fart," you laugh.
[x] You just laughed.
[x] Gum has fallen out of your mouth when you were talking.
[x] Gum has fallen out of your mouth when you were NOT talking.
[x] You have run into a glass/screen door.
[x] You have fallen up the steps
[x] You have put a knife in the toaster
[] You have called your teacher 'mom'

Although unlike my mother, I did not get a serious injury from running into a glass/screen door.

But I think now, looking at these, it is okay to say "A der der der. . ."

Blogger

Hi family! Um....I got a blog. I'll put up pictures on there later. Right now there's not much exciting, and I'm still learning to make things look cool. Maybe the Bethany can help me with that? But just so you know, the address is

That was me.

Love you all!

Andrew and Mori

Here's Andrew's very first picture with Mori!



Of corse, he wasn't excatly born yet but. . .

End of the year grades!

Yay. I'm so smart. Here are my wonderful grades.


English ~ A-
Band ~ Easy A
Math ~ A-
Geography ~ A- (finally!)
Science ~ A
Office Aid ~ Pass
French 1 ~ A-

Now that it is Summer, I thought you might like to know about my teachers.

English~ Mrs. Guvstason ~ Nice teacher, who treated us like we were in first grade. She bugged me. She would do much better teaching Elementary school.

Band ~ Mrs. Allred / Miss Burrows ~ Pregnant teacher who was even more temperamental before she was pregnant.

Math ~ Mr. Shelley ~ I'm sure he's a nice man. . .outside of school.

Geography ~ Mrs. Haydock ~ I actually liked this teacher.

Science ~ Miss Vass ~ Crazy, anti-Mormon, very non-religious teacher who bugged me every second of that class. She also lost one of my assignments. . .twice.

Office Aid ~ Wasn't a teacher ~ Easiest, most relaxing class I have ever taken

French 1 ~ Mr. Olsen ~ He was nice, but he absolutely couldn't stand our very noisy class full of immature 8th grade boys and snooty 8th grade girls who couldn't shut up. There were only three other 9th graders (besides me) in that class.

Home, Lonely Home

I'm home alone this week. Well, Dad is home some of the nights, but Mori and I have the house to ourselves during the day and on the other nights. (Thanks to Matt, Bethany and Grandma for having me over for dinner one night so I wasn't so lonely!) It's a strange feeling. Makes me realize how quiet life's going to be when Cam goes off to school, and that I probably will want to work more.

I miss the old days in some ways and so often wonder where the time went. Yet in other ways I'm glad for the time it is now, glad we're past the days of teething and potty-training and trying to figure out what they want. Also glad to be past middle school (finally!!!) and only one left to get through high school. Good to see the kind of people you're turning out to be. Just wonder how I got to be so old so fast?! It went by all to quickly!!!! (Just wait, girls--it's going to sneak up on you, too.)

I'm just about to this point with school,
but I'm posting this mostly for Bethany.
Just take deep breaths.

Sunday evening adventures

We finally convinced Mom and Dad to play Nintendo 64 with us tonight. Mom didn't realize we were starting, however, and she was busy giving Drew a binkie. When she finally realized we had started, she was in last place and we were long gone. Dad's response? "Ha ha! Sucker!"

After that game we convinced Grandma to play with us. She did great for never having played a video game before! Don't be surprised if we come home to find Grandma downstairs rocking out with Mario.

Venice

Hi my family! My latest excursion was to Venice, so I thought I would post a few of the pictures so that you remember who I am. :) Andy, I still love you!! Don't forget your favorite aunt. I love my family!!!


So this is Rachel, Jenny, and me in front of the famous "Bridge of Sighs." It's where they would take the prisoners before they were executed, so those windows gave them the last bit of daylight they would ever see.


This is us before the gondola ride. I actually had to ride in a little separate chair because we obviously didn't all fit on that bench. I called it my little throne though, so I felt better.



This is one of the beautiful sunsets there! All the water is just beautiful.


Just a pretty view from the dock.


This is actually my roommate's hat that she bought for her ex boyfriend, but she wasn't home so I put it on. She found out though, but she didn't hit me so its okay.


Hope everyone is happy!! I love you all.

Andrew asked me to send this message.

This one's for you, Trini

Heritage story for the day

Mom and her brothers had a meeting and decided that they were no longer going to call their father "Daddy," but would instead refer to him as "Dad." This change was suspected to bring disturbance to the household, however, so Evan was chosen to test it out. While the siblings watched in secret, Evan walked through the room where their dad was reading and risked everything by saying, "Hi Dad."

"Hi," came the reply.

And that was that. It was determined that "Dad" was now an acceptable title, thanks to Evan's bravery and sacrifice.
