Georgia Says Hello

Isaac's ABC's...A compelling argument for Pre-School

Liv's Remix

In the Beginning...

We got Isaac to the pig at Pike's market, so all the kids have been there. Apparently on the way there Olivia got hold of some good herb because she looks like she's high! (Notice she still looks high at the wedding two days later!)

We also got in a quick trip to Ikea...too quick!...but Liv's an Ikea shopper in training.

I didn't take any pics at the wedding, but Jason snapped a few, so here are some teasers. When I get some more I'll add them.

Ani

Lisa and Kari (her adorable sister) bought a bunch of tickets to Ani Difranco. In a nutshell, she's a feminist "folk" singer who Lisa said a lot of people thought was gay, but since she's now pregnant the cat's out of the bag.

It was great! So many hippies and lesbians in one spot. The people watching was fabulous. Lisa's mom and I hung out and watched the hippies dance and the chicks make out (not really), and Ani Difranco is really a brilliant woman. Her lyrics and some poetry she did was incredible.

I wonder what she'd do if she knew there was a Mormon chick digging her stuff in the
audience!? ...

on her home page she says, "i speak without reservation from what i know and who i am. i do so with the understanding that all people should have the right to offer their voice to the chorus whether the result is harmony or dissonance, the worldsong is a colorless dirge without the differences that distinguish us, and it is that difference which should be celebrated not condemned. should any part of my music offend you, please do not close your ears to it. just take what you can use and go on."


I got a tank top to dance in that says "righteous" on the front and on the back it says "righteous babe".

See my links. She has her own label, "Righteous Babe Records". I'll see if Lisa can send me some pics from the concert.

So You Think You Can Dance?

We're finally back!

I sequestered myself from anyone who may even remotely know anything about "So You Think You Can Dance" so I could watch the finale. It's the first thing I did when we got back.

GO TRAVIS!

Who won? Not Travis! But, a cute mormon kid who has a sweet spirit. he he he!

Di said I remind her of Mary Murphy, a judge. Not sure how to take that. She screams a lot and has funny teeth. I hope it's not the smile, or my parents wasted a lot of money on 5 years of braces and 4 bridges~

I'm going to try to start a group of "older" chicks dancing. We need a cool name. Any ideas? I'm going to start to advertise for members next week. I'll keep you posted. Evidently I still think I can dance.

More to come on Seattle, it was the heat! BAM BABY! (that's Isaac's favorite expression)

Sleeping Beauty and the Beasts

My kids are crazy. Literally. And especially Georgia. You'd never know the insanity of trying to get her into this bed (to stay) to take a nap. She was not happy about flying the coop (crib). She's ok now. It's been about a week. She's like me, she values her sleep. When she finally realized she was losing sleep as a result of her actions she shut up. I started her in her own bed earlier than the others. I probably should have waited til she was there size when they were switched, but I think sleeping in a crib is a bit embarassing for a teen. Little squirt!











Olivia is a beautiful beast as well. Here she is posing in Uncle Colt & Almost Aunt Lisa's wedding apparel. She loves to be pretty.












Then~she and Isaac got hold of my camera, got it on, and took pictures. This time Isaac's posing. Nice shot! Jason told me to hold onto these for when she's shooting for Vogue or National Geographic. I think these can be used in National Geographic..."Native Wildlife of Utah". 

Chop Chop

I have committed to Jason to stop cooking nasty meals and to cook every night (almost)...

See my Fabulous Recipes Links! Fried Green Tomatoes are the bomb!!!

Go TRAVIS on "So You Think You Can Dance"!!!

Oh Boobee!

Olivia, you funky little chick!

Thank-you for always asking if you can help me.


I love how you tell Isaac off when he says something, "ugly".


You tell me you love me at least once a day. I think you even mean it!

You imagine all the time. Isaac's your dog...I'm "your majesty"...You're going to work...You need "cheeky sace" for your princess dress.

You'll try anything at least once. You love to fly, swing, climb, etc. Thus the scar on your cheek.

You're a demanding little terd. You're the one always asking for something to drink, eat, color. If I say "no", you always counter, "Maybe tomorrow?"

Your dad always tells you, "Maybe tomorrow." One day you said, "Daddy, can I help you...TODAY!"




You enjoy your sparkly teeth.

I've never seen anyone enjoy shaking her booty more than you!

You always want to sit in "the chair" when we get in the car. But, you're gracious when it's not your turn.

If we're watching "So You Think You Can Dance", and I say, "Oh, I love him!" You always say, "No, you love Daddy!"

You're a sweet, funny little bugger, we love you!!!
xoxoxo

 

Oh Buddy!

Mr. Isaac, you big stud! Look at you go.


You are the greatest super hero to walk the earth...

You can spew spider webs (and spit in your enemy's eye at the same time "spsss")

You throw your body around like a rag doll.

You run 5 mph, but your little legs go in fast forward.

You can charm the socks off of any chick bad guys.





You're a master prayer now. You always bless the donuts and pizza. We haven't eaten donuts or pizza in weeks, but we're covered next time we do.

You think you're it when you hang out with "the boys" and/or drum.

Thank-you so much for eating brocolli and asparagus with me just because you believe me when I tell you it makes you strong! You even ate fried green tomatoes with me the other day...FABULOUS!

You may not always be the first to try something new, but you're the first one to take it to the next level. You're going to be an amazing athlete!

You tell me girls kiss your face when you go to church. I'm going to have my eye on you. You little charming devil.

You're everyone's favorite kid! xoxoxo We love you!

 

Oh Baby!

Georgia Sue, you crazy chick. What can I say? A picture says 1,000!

Thank-you for saying, "Tet-tu", and "kelcum" to everyone.

Stop taking your hair out in the car!

Stop taking your shoes off in the car!

You have a cold right now, so you call from your crib "mbob!" when you wake up.

You eat more than our entire extended family put together, and you weigh less than one of my thighs!

Grandpa says your hair looks like "Jim" from "Taxi".

Grandma punches him when he says it.

You pull Olivia's hair all the time, and last week you bit her cheek!

You are the biggest bully in the store, nursery, house, world.

When we're in the car and Isaac or Liv say, "I want juice (or ice-cream, or nuggets, or pizza...), you say, "NO!". I make them say it over and over again to hear you boss them around you little squirt!

You can eat a Krispy Kreme donut in 3.5 milliseconds. (and you know what the box looks like!)

Olivia tries to pick you up and cart you around. Sometimes you let her. Then you bite her cheek.

You are the funniest kid ever born. We love you!
