Random things because I'm bored

A couple of Cake Wrecks I found at Wal-Mart, not that funny, but these Wrecks are hilarious.

Last day in Arizona, I wished they looked a little sad to be leaving, maybe I could talk them in to going back.

Are his eyes on upside down?

Who do you love Mr. Wal-Mart Manager?

We live in Utah County home of BYU. There is someone down the road from us that has a BYU and Denver Bronco's flag hanging in their yard. Well we are not huge BYU fans we will be cheering for the Utes when they play next week. And I LOATHE the Broncos!!!!
So this weekend I went shopping for a U of U and Oakland Raiders flags. I drove out of my way to go to a Wal-Mart outside of Utah County, but to my chagrin, this is what I found.
Do you see what U of U choices I had? What maybe 5 hats.......what the????? So next weekend I am determined to find a U of U flag. I guess I'm headed to Salt Lake, and I'll make sure I pick up a Raiders flag just to bug the neighbor even more. Ahahahahahah

A whole new meaning to "only in Utah"....

I honestly don't think I have ever seen a dumber sign. "What????, Bud Light with Lime contains alcohol?" It's a good thing they put up the sign. Apparently here in Utah people were buying "Alcopops" (this is what they are now calling things like Hard Lemonade, even beer with Lime flavor) and not realizing they contained alcohol, they pulled all of these "Alcopops" from the shelves and now they are only for sale in the State Controlled Liquor store. . I guess this particular Wal-Mart didn't get the memo, but hey at least they warned us even beer with lime is still beer.

Car is who?

Yes, he's mine.

So the other day after school, Carson's friend comes to our house to ask if Carson can play, absolutely he can. So they tell me they are going to go "fishing" in a little pond over by the elementary school, okay fine have fun don't drown. Bye.

So a few hours later Carson calls me from his friends cell phone and asks me to pick them up because his friend couldn't be late for Scouts. I told them that I would as soon as I got home from the store and told them to just start walking home. He whined about them being soaked and blah blah blah, so I told him I would try to hurry.

About 15 minutes later I got back into our neighborhood and called his friends cell phone, I asked for Carson, " uhhhhhhhh he's not here right now he's probably at Chevron or Village Pizza, I had to leave him so I wouldn't be late for Scouts." ummm, Isn't the Scouts motto "No scout left behind"? uh maybe that's the Marines. Anyway I panicked a little and headed towards Chevron, not there I head toward the Elementary, not there either. Okay now I seriously freaked out. I'm looking everywhere I can think he might be.

After what seems like an eternity of driving around, I spot a puff of blonde hair, well it wasn't exactly blonde maybe more of a greenish blonde and a bright red shirt, on his back white straps, hmm what backpack to we have that is white I think to myself. I get closer and call him over, thankfully he is fine, he does however look like, well look at the picture, and the white backpack, not a backpack at all it's a plastic bag, and the best part is inside the plastic shopping back is a waterbottle full of the nasty water they swam in and full of his new pet slugs.

I LOVE BOYS!!!!!

This is after Carson realized what was actually going on and figured out why our stuff was in this house.

If you know my kids, then you know this was pretty much one of the greatest days of their lives. For them to put aside their feelings of wanting to beat the crap out of each other to actually touch each other without violence, wow absolutely amazing.
I think Carson's face says it alll.

Bowling

2008-08-29T21:25:00.000-07:00

It's a little bit sad that I'm blogging about things we did in Arizona, I think that means I'm bored here.
However there are certain requirements that a Bowling Alley must meet in order for our whole family to attend (this means including Corbett).

1) Open on Sunday
2) Serves Beer
3) Doesn't resemble primary, let me clarify that primary in Utah.

This should pretty much explain why we have not been bowling in Utah and why if we do there will be one of us not going.

Angry White Boy Bowling, and one of my favorite 80's songs.......

Take the Skinheads Bowling.

So what I read them, okay..... And you know what I loved them!!! I obsessed over them, it was really an unhealthy time in my life, but I don't regret one page.

The last book felt too rushed to me, like she was trying to hard to tie up all the loose ends. I think she could have written it in two books. But it ended up just the way I imagined, sigh.....

He really is happy, just not after we lost all of our hard earned $50 in change we found while packing. Yup, we spend our last night in AZ at the trashy casino, and we really did take all the loose change we found while packing and cashed it in at the coinstar. This is really much more embarrassing when I'm typing it out. Oh well great memories.

I really don't have any words for this one, oh yeah I did draw a smiley face on the plywood circle just to give it that extra special touch. I'm glad Corbett's dad had to drive it.

This is how most people move.

This is how we moved. Note the height of the garage on the left. This is our whole life under plywood and a blue tarp.

Last days in Arizona
