Silly Students

Story number one:

I've always heard of people making fun of the cliche that kids nowadays send texts to people that are in the same room as them.

I've always heard it, but never seen it.

Until now.

It was after school during 4H, where I help out at. I was on one side of the room getting ready to start a game, and a student next to me was texting her friend on the other side of the room, asking her to come play. She told me, "Hold on, I just texted her."

We waited.

She then shouted, across the room, "Hey! Did you get my text yet!?"

Her friend replied, "No, hold on.."

The whole time I was sitting there thinking, is this REALLY happening right now? They actually just did that? I'm not making it up? She just yelled to her to see if she got her text....


Story number two:

I walked into the cafeteria for 4H again (this is where we meet at the beginning). I saw a girl climbing into one of those big black rolling garbage cans, trying to get down below the rim before I saw her.

I saw her.

I told her to get out, that it's not okay to get into garbages. She said she was hoping to be able to scare me as I walked by, but I ruined it because I already saw her.

I told her that under no circumstances should she get into a garbage, even if it looks clean to her.

She said that it was clean because they just put a new liner in.

Just then, with perfect timing, another kid said "I spit in there before you got in!"

HAHAHAHAHAH

She was then screaming and trying to clean herself off.

Talk about a perfect lesson learned.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
