In my next life...

The 4th of the 4th - Mummy Riley

I saw this on Jennifer Hammond's blog and thought this was intriguing. I mean, who knows what picture it would be? The rule is to this game of blog tag is to find the 4th picture in the 4th file on your computer, and write a narrative about it...so here it goes.


Yes, I know it looks like a 'oops' picture, but I kept it for a reason. Ivy was taking a nap, so I was busy trying to keep him quiet and from pulling her hair. I was sitting on the floor, looking at a recent text message on my phone when Riley stumbles over to me wearing a dish towel on his head, giggling. I snapped the picture on my camera phone but since he was so close, all you can see is his little eye poking out from under the towel.


This was the accompanying picture, which helps make the other picture make more sense. Riley at full charging speed! I'm still surprised that with all our giggling it didn't wake up Ivy.

Tag, your it!

A trip down memory lane...

As promised (or threatened?) here are some of the pictures I found while helping my mom clean out her house a bit...

Aww...cute...Kim & I in front of my Grandma's house (Provo, UT) before she sold it to move down to AZ. It still miss that house.


Kim a little older


Yes, that is THE real car. A friend of my grandmother's transported show cars across the country and just happened to be carrying the GhostBuster's car used in the movie to L.A. What great timing for that was my favorite movie at the time.


OK...let's see if I can name everybody...L->R top Me, Donna Barker, Karen Jenkins, Liz Jenkins, Sis. Durham, Kristy Green, Amy Higbee, and mystery hand. Bottom: Sis. Ingram, Tanya, Sis. Kammerer, Randa Westbrook, Jennifer Jenkins, and ?? (can anybody help me out on the last girl?) I believe this was a pre-Girl's Camp overnighter to finish up certification at Bushnell Tanks. 1992.


Kristy and Tanya

Jennifer Jenkins and Tanya gettin' bunny-earred


Liz Jenkins and Randa Westbrook getting ready to go home.



Mom and baby Bridget

Hope ya'll enjoyed that...aww what the hay...let me embarrass myself and Kim




Yes, we are in the dryer, and No, I really don't know why. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time? Bored summer day I suppose. And No, we didn't turn it on...
...But we did manage to fit puppy-sized Katie and Tobie in the fridge to cool them off.

My first harvest

Well, here's the very first edible batch of veggies to be harvested from my garden...Green Beans! And these are just the begining...plenty more growing on my 6 bushes. This batch I'll cook up for myself, but the next batches I'll freeze for Thanksgiving. Yum!

Just some more fun stuff...

The Road Trip of Your Life

You see life as precious and special. Heritage and family are very important to you. You live life at a fairly leisurely pace. You take time to enjoy the sweeter parts of life, even when you're busy. You don't like a lot of risk or randomness in your life. You prefer to stick with what's known, even if it's a bit boring. You tend to be a workaholic. You overwork yourself without ever realizing it and sometimes suffer the consequences later. In another life, you could have been a great artist. You trust your creative instincts enough to let them lead you.

The Road Trip Test

BTW...I was helping my mom take some stuff down to her storage this last weekend and found a very curious little book, a picture album to be more precise. Better yet, they are pictures that I had taken, circa 1992-94. And they have most of you in it...hehe. I'll be scanning and posting them soon, so ye be warned.

PS No Kim, I haven't forgotten about your Kentucky Jig still sitting quietly on my camera...it will make it's debut soon... :-D

Well, I'm glad that's finally over...

Hmmm...I can actually say that I'm kinda disappointed about my first time voting...only one thing I voted on actually happened! Oh Poo. And what I "got" was kinda minor anyways...a new Pinal County sheriff. Hmpfh. I really wanted McCain for President. But at least both Electoral College AND Popular voted wanted Obama. (Everyone knows that its not the popular vote that elects presidents right? Electoral College does that and that don't have to vote the way their constituents want...case in point...in 2000's election, the popular vote wanted Gore for president yet Bush was elected by electoral college.) I would have been very irate if popular vote was McCain and Obama got it. Oh well, all in God's design, right? Perhaps something will happen to McCain's health...then we'd have President Sarah (aka Wolf-killer and Big Oil's bed-mate)...That's worse than Obama for sure. I still can't understand why everyone acts like Obama is America's 'Savior'. I know because of the economy people need to see things change-but to what? The Freedom of Choice Act that will allow abortions at ANY time, including healthy full-term babies? How can there even be an organization called, "Mormons for Obama" when he is already working on this Act? That's his plan for change? I still don't even know what his plan for America is. All I hear (and yes I have been looking) is 'Time for change' and 'Yes, We can'... Was it his "plan" for change people voted for or his color? Did we desperately want to be the generation that could say we voted in the first Black President? I'd rather have the bragging right of voting in the first environmental president. (McCain is very environmentally minded...quite the R.I.N.O.) Hopefully, he does make great changes in this country and prove to be worthy of your votes...but something just bodes ill about it all.

Ok,Ok...I'll get off my soapbox now...

PS - To any of you that read my blog and voted for Obama, no offense meant AT ALL. It is your right and duty to elect officials that you think would do the best job...but I would like to hear specific reasons why you voted for him. I relish the thought of understanding what the majority of America saw in Obama that I guess I didn't. You know me! I love a good debate! It's the best way I learn!

Our Fun Halloween

Well, here's our Halloween! My blankity-blank camera wasn't working right so I had to rely on the photographic skills of others...namely my mom and Kim. But they did so well! Thanks Guys! But drat! I forgot to ask them to snap a pic of my pumpkins and of our party buffet table. We had Mummy pizzas, Mexican Bar Bat Wings, Spider Eggs, Bread stick bones and blood sauce, Creature Chips and monster brains, blood punch and brain cupcakes. Oh well...can't remember to do everything. But what really counts is that everyone, especially the kids, had fun.

Well, I guess I can't drive through Dallas...
