What do you call a rather small piece of pie?

A slidge... of course

Oompa Lumpa Doompatidoo

All I remember is being at Granny Margaret's house. Me, Rachie, Blake, Mom, Granny Margaret, Granny Carol, Aunt Nancy and Kara were all outside of Grannny Margaret and Gumpma's cute little pink house, standing in the driveway. One of us noticed that our reflection on the side of the car looked smooshed and squatty. In a few minutes, all of us, including Granny Margaret were squatting up and down singing the Oompa Lumpa song.

Bad Reputations

I remember mom telling me that one day she was in painting the TV room, I believe. In walks sweet little Sister Crosby and mom has the Shrek soundtrack blasting on the Bose--the song Bad Reputation just happens to be on. In case you aren't familiar with the song, the chorus goes, "I don't give a Dam* about my bad reputation" over and over again. I'm glad Mom's not concerned with her dam* reputation!

The eye book!

so mom got this creepy eye book to put all out memories in so here are a few!

whenever mom is eating ice cream and listening to music she wiggles her spoon around to the beat! haha

one night jess and i were sleeping on the couch and she just kept on kicking me all night! the next morning i woke up and she told me she was having a bad dream about one of dads old men patience and thats why she was kicking me!

dad made me water jessys carrots even though they were 4 years old and wont grow....at all

haha remember when mom bought that dog machine that is supposed to make dogs stop barking because it makes a high pitched noise? well it didnt work worth crap!

just a little smidge of the eye book :)

pumpkin price

one day we were listening to Paved Paradise by Counting Crows

and it says

Paved Paradise put up a parking lot

and all of a sudden rachel starts singing "Paved Paradise put up a Pumpkin Price".....

i have no idea where rachie came up with that but all i can say is........go rachie

Lula Hale

oh the old folks home!

well kara and i were at the beehive house and we were getting pretty bored so i went to go see what was around there. I looked high and low but all i could find was a little coffee table. and under that table was a coloring book! i wanted it so i leaned down to get it and out of no where lula hale pops out of her chair! I just looked and said hi and smiled when she said ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO TAKE ALL THOSE BOOKSSSS!?!? she was maad! so i said...."i was just looking" and she got the nastiest face on and made this...noise? it was kinda like "MAWAHHHAHAHAH!"

oh the old folks home!

step up

so i guess since i am the only one home i am responsible for writing what our parents do!

Well then i better get cracken! Yesterday we were visiting grandma margret. when it was time to go dad and i were walking behind everyone. then dad leaned in close to my ear and said .........blake........you might think i am a weird dad but last week in Tucson i went to go see a movie and so i watched Step Up 3! IT WAS AWESOME! The dances were SOOO cooool! but dont tell your mom......or your friends. i dont want anyone to know.

the FAKE girl scout cookies!

One day i jacked moms little 100 calorie girl scout cookies. All i wanted was a little snack when Jess saw them and obviously was determined to have those cookies!!! (little did she know)

I ran into my room scared out of my mind of my rabid sisters! Finally after who knows how long i decided to slide one little package under the door when i heard jess say "WHAT IS THIS SHITE!" (sorta) I guess she found out. A few minutes later sister Davis texted me saying "who got the cookies?"

Cough Drops

Dad was never the man to let us toddlers indulge in candy or anything of the sort that would potentially be addicting. We were never allowed to buy Coco Pebbles or snacks that children usually eat. Well I remember at some point on my childhood mom had bought cough drops. These weren't ordinary cough drops, but artificially flavored! The flavors were wonderful; peach, lemon, strawberry, watermelon, grape...and more!!! One day while I was snooping around mom's and dad's closet and found a large bag that looked like candy! Heck when did this happen? I immediately teared that bag open and indulged! I sat there for I think about 45 minutes until mom came in...whoops. She was confused that I was eating cough drops. I'm pretty sure these were about 99% sugar....and well..not even really cough drops. After that incident I became obsessed with them! Mom would limit me to 5 a day and had to keep track. Oh the things you take for granted!

I am just sitting here in my dorm reminiscing the good ole' past and the story of Jessy and her sweet, pet rabbit named clover. That poor rabbit. We had had it only a short time until Jessy goes out to feed it...onions! Little did...well I don't think any of us knew that rabbits couldn't have onions. You can guess how the story ended, but....I if I know now something about rabbits that would be it!
