don't tell mom the babysitter's dead....

ok not really. but you would've wondered too if you came home to this on friday night. adam babysat while nate had his scout campout (in the backyard) and courtney and i went with a friend to do some shopping at gateway. the house was silent and everyone was sleeping, but it wasn't until we were headed to bed ourselves that we (including adam the babysitter) noticed one of his charges passed out at the top of the stairs. either adam was having a crazy party with the toddlers or reagan was looking for her mom and became a little too tired to make it back to her room...hm.

wedding bells in the fall...

ok who knew the fall was such a popular wedding time... at least in 2007. our friends tom and ashley got engaged last night and that makes 4 weddings this fall that we're going to! my little bunny's (jessie) on october 5th, my HS friends in maine on october 12th, adam's HS friends in florida on october 19th, and now tom and ash at either thanksgiving or christmas! luckily i love these peeps a lot..because they are about to empty the pocketbook for these trips... happy weddings everyone.

say cheese!!!

ok, so we went camping last weekend with our friends the conleys and tom and ashley...that is another hilarious post that i will provide you with later. but, i mention it because when i got home, i was totally annoyed to find that all the pictures that i had taken were blurry! here i am actually trying to document something fun that we do and i get crap pictures. i think it's because my little digi cam is on its last leg. it just can't stand up to the new ones anymore. it's only from 2004 but apparently that is ancient in technology land. so i post this to ask if anyone who reads my blog has a good camera recommendation. i just want one that takes good pictures, doesn't cost $1500, and that doesn't require a 20 second button hold before it finally takes a picture-- and a bad one at that! people can only hold their smiles for so long. any suggestions would be fabulous. thanks. back to work.

daddy dearest

this picture is freaking me out. it's my dad when he was little. any of you that have seen pictures of me at this age can see how much it looks like me...EXACTLY like me. unfortunately i don't have any childhood pictures on my work computer to show you what i'm talking about.. but i just had to share. hilarious... we really are related!

thursday's menu

i felt that this was worthy of a post. whether it's to gross myself out or give all of you a good laugh, who knows. maybe both. this is what i consumed yesterday, in order:

2 pieces of pizza, 2 donuts, red vines, beef jerky, bbq beef sandwich, chips, pasta salad, frosted brownie, oh yes, another piece of pizza, nachos, about 100 ounces of soda (throughout the day).... DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

crazy weather

is anyone else freaked out by this weird UT weather?? the past few days have been really stormy. last night i seriously thought the windows were going to break in on me while i was watching tv. trees were about to snap and the lack of rain made the bizarre wind/thunder/lightening business all the more weird. right now in downtown slc a ton of street lights are out and it is getting worse by the minute. i am secretly hoping the power goes out so we can all go home!!! jk. i shouldn't complain about work so much on this blog. i just can't resist. i guess i should enjoy this weird weather while it lasts, though. winter is about to show its ugly little face and i can't deal with it!!! i mean i love nothing more than cute winter clothes...but the pasty, pale skin and unavoidable weight gain? i can go without that, thank you. in other news- reagan starts preschool today. she was excited enough this morning that when she woke up she hugged adam's leg at the refrigerator and goes, "adam- GOOD morning. this is the day of my school (insert 3 yr old shriek here)!!!"
