R.O.U.S

Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.

I just finished Jayne's Halloween costume and I felt like I should share it with the world. I put it on her and oh it is so dang cute! I came up with the pattern myself, and I think it turned out well. Let me know what you think!

A cultural experience

Last Saturday i was visiting my brother Jamie in Utah... that night my husband and him went to watch the priesthood session of conference in the conference center and all the girls stayed home(one of my sisters, my sister in law and me). we decided to have some fun of our own. so my sister in law and i went to get a chick flick and food. we went to the "china isle" and DANG! it smelt to good. we couldn't decide what to get and so we got everything that sounded good: beef and broccoli, almond chicken, lo mien, lemon chicken, sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken and egg rolls. the little lady taking out order was like "you must be hungry" because it was a ton of food for just three people, i bet it could feed a small army. so we got back, ate until we couldn't move and started our movie "the fountain." it was weird, i don't think i'll be watching it again, seriously it kinda freaked me out, especially in the beginning... i wanted to watch transformers but alas it hadn't come out yet (on a side note, transformers is a must see- i don't care who you are). so anyways, it was a sweet weekend by any one's account:) (this is a side note for Shaina- Jamie made sausage gravy on Sunday-way good).

i'm in the jail house now...

we put jayne in her crib and she looked like a little jail bird in her striped Pj's.

Grrrrrrrrowl!

This picture is just so cute... i love my baby jayne. i just can't say no to this face... if she asked me for a new car today i'd get it for her, it's a good thing she can't talk yet:)

waRshington...

I was just thinkin' while i was driving to my parents house in washington that some people slip in extra sounds and syllables in different words. my favorite just happens to be the "R." now it does not appear in the dictionary, or in official scrabble games. the sound is simply slipped in... but i say lets make it official. words that have the letter combo of "ash" shall now be said, and as far as i am concerned written as aRsh.... here are a few examples... SquaRsh, waRsh. there are a few exceptions such as cash, and mash... the R just wouldn't work. but i say we incorporate it whenever possible.
