Oh What a Ride!


A picture is worth a thousand words but... This one needs some explanantion.
The last day of school the kids got checked out early and we headed to Denver. We were flying to Kansas City the next morning to start a very awesome church history vacation.
We stoppeed at Burger King in Rifle to eat some lunch. Brin wasn't hungery and Mal didn't feel good. Cam felt great and very hungery so he hogged down on a cheesebuger and fries.
Mal said she needed to go to the bathroom so I took her and while she was on the pot BLAT! all over the bathroom floor. She and Brin decided after that to go lay down in the van and wait for us.
Oh, I failed to mention that Ty and I had the stomach flu a couple of days before.
As we left BK Bay got some LARGE drink cups. They charged him 5 dollars for 3 cups! He was miffed about that but it was well worth the money! As we were driving along Mal, and Brin took turns barfing into their cups. Cam said he wasn't feeling well and to pass a cup back to him. Well, he spit and gagged into it. I thought he was just wanting to join the barf club. Hyrum kept thinking it was a drink so, I told Cam if he wasn't really going to do anything with it "PASS THE CUP UP" ! Still professing that his stomach was hurting he passed up the cup. We hadn't gone 10 miles when he yelled I THINK I NEED THE BLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAT (that's for you Nat) all over the van floor. We were close to Frisco so pulled into the car wash and cleaned up and shampooed the floor in a rain storm. We went into the convienent store and got 3 more cups. (free this time) Just as we were pulling back onto the road we were stopped at a stop light and BLAT! Brin got the floor. We turned around and went back and cleaned that up too. The cashier at the convienent store gave me 4 more cups. YEAH! The picture is the inventive way Brin came up with to not hear, smell, or see Cam "loose" it.
We made it to the Hyatt with just a few more "episodes" but all that night we had "episodes". The next moring they were feeling a little better but...Gandpa, Bay, Derek, and Nat were all the victims!! ON A PLANE!! UGH!

OH NO!

I have TONS of these kind of moments. I am constantly doing stupid things and embrassing myself.

I thought I would share my latest stupid action so here goes.

Monday night we went to dinner at the golf course for Dennis' birthday. Derek and Holly were bringing the girls out to our house. When we got ready to go they weren't there yet so as we left I started to text Derek (who is #9 on my speed dial) to tell him we were leaving. And here is where it starts...

carisa txt: We have just left just go in. Ty and hyrum are sleeping the other are doing
homework.
derek txt: What? I think you have the wrong number.
carisa txt: Ha Ha i have you on speed dial.
derek txt: Ha Ha so do you know me or is that speed dial the wrong number

Now I need to redeem myself here just a little. Derek is often a...tease, pain, etc. So this kind of behavior is just like him.

carisa txt: I know you ya wierdo
derek txt: Who is this that im talking to then?

At this point I am thinking "humm he is going a little far with this" and I look at the number on my speed dial. (I just got a new phone so I switched my numbers) OH NO!! it is the wrong number! Oh .........NUTS! Then end number is 5 not 3. So i a try and make right calling a total stranger wierdo, while Baylen is laughing so hard he can hardly drive!
carisa txt: I am SO SORRY i just checked the number and i do have the wrong number on speed dial. I take the wierdo thing back and hope you can have a laugh about htis bery stupid mistake. have a nice day:)
STRANGER TXT: Hahahahaha thats hilarious. its okay you have a nice day as well

I feel embarassed enough then, Bay suggests that I call and see who it was. Are you kidding me!! At least never have to run into that person again like several other "MOMENTS" I have.


Lessons learned: Look before you text, kick your brother in law ever chance you get just because he is a pest that always teases, and last you have to laugh at yourself. Everyone else will.

WICKED Spring Break!

When we woke up this morning there was snow covereing everything! YUCK!!! So we decided to brighten up our day. Brinley has a "mild" obsession with the musical WICKED. She absolutly adores Elphaba, or the Wicked Witch of the West. So we Transformed today! It was so much fun!


We are really "GOING GREEN" Haha!

Then On to the photo shoot.

Elphaba was born green to the Mayor of the Munchkins and his Wife. Then attended school at SHIZ.

Beautiful Yes? We had to sing a few lines of "When I meet the Wizard".


Malory decided she wanted to join in. She makes a perfect Galinda.


Who is Elphaba's roommate at school. They begin by "Loathing" each other then become best friends as Galinda helps Elphaba become "Popular"!


Through out the story they go seperate ways because the want different things. Galinda who is now Glinda is now working with the Wizard and Elphaba is "Defying Gravity".


In the end they are friends and know that it is over "For Good".


Oh how good WICKED is!!


It's so fun to not have school!

He has put up with me through thick and thin. He has forgiven my huge mistakes and is so loving and understanding. I am a very headstrong person with tons of faults and he is perfect for me! He is a wonderful father and provider. He is my best friend! 16th Valentines day together and I am still glad I asked him out and kissed him first. Otherwise I would still be waiting!
I LOVE YOU BAYLEN!

THE OTHER SIDE OF ME

Yes, i know that is a Hannah Montana song. It fits though!


Did you know... I am Gas Trash. Not because of some really bad chili the night before. But I contract for CEO Operating every other week and fill in when I am needed. I wo"man" injection wells. This is where the water that is extracted with the gas is pushed back into the ground. And I love to do it. Baylen says that it is just an escape, but any way it comes, I enjoy it. I have to fill water tanks and change filters.
I have to wear coveralls and all the gear. I can't be boring with just a normal hard hat. So Bay hooked me up with this beauty and I of course add to it. (Just like the unders) No boring for me!


Cute Huh! It was about a week to do it all and then it rubbed off really fast.


Did you know... I like to hunt? (not for the week, there are pictures)
The monday after christmas we were visiting in Rangely. Mark and Pam were going to take me hunting Tuesday morning because I had drawn out for an area 10 cow tag. Well at 4:00 Mark called up an said lets go out for an evening hunt. I was great with this, because I had gotten a little braggy to Derek that I would have an elk by monday night. (nanny nanny boo) But since I wasn't hunting until tuesday he said I would eat my words! Mark and Pam picked me up at 4:30 and we headed up the Blue Mountain road. We went on for a little while got out and scouted around then drove somemore. There were not many fresh tracks and it was getting dark. We came around a little bend in the road and right on the side of the hill, there they were, 5 cows. I jumped out and aimed for one but when I pulled the trigger I realized my safety was on. This was good, I would have hit 2. (again!) So, I reaimed and knocked this cow down in one shot! We were home with the cow gutted and hung by 6:30! Thanks Dad for letting me use the "DEATH RAY" my ears are still ringing. So here is my great picture (If you are squeemish don't look) I look like the redneck that I am at heart. Mullett included!
YEE HAW!
Next will be the hillbilly band!
