That's English, Right?

I thought of another nephew story that has always cracked me up. I love when little kids are just learning to talk. I love when they don't quite get thing right. Like when they says something like, "Her said her would." Well my nephew took it to the next level with this one. We all know that when you put would not together you get wouldn't and when you put have not together you get haven't, right? Well when Danny and Bret were younger they decided to go outside together. Bret was the little brother so I told Danny, "Don't let Bret fall off the porch." He said, " I willn't." I was a little confused at first thinking he had said,"I will" But then I realized that he meant "I won't" If you think about it, his way makes more sense.

This is a recent picture of the two.

Only in Utah

With the recent celebration of my birthday, it brought to mind last year, middle of March. I just turned 30 so you all know that last year I would have turn 29. Are you still with me? I was sitting in Relief Society, in my singles ward, when the RS president asked if there were any March birthday's. I wasn't going to raise my hand because I don't care if they know it is my birthday. Especially since most of them were a good 7 to 10 years younger than me. My friends threw me under the bus. Luckily nobody asked my age. But then just amongst my little group one of my friends whispered "And she will be 25." I replied with "Only 24, Thank you!" Obviously we were joking. The girl (20 year old) sitting next to me did not catch the sarcasm. She leaned over and patted me on the leg and said "It's okay, 24 really isn't that old, only in Utah." I couldn't decide if I wanted to shock her with the truth or just drop it. I just looked at her and smiled and said "Thanks." My friends and I had a pretty good laugh about it the rest of Relief Society. To her credit, at least she didn't think I looked over 24 right?

Pinewood Derby!

Wednesday we had a Pinewood Derby for our ward activity. I borrowed my cousin's nine year old's derby car. He had won all his races with it and was a little reluctant to hand it over to me. I told him that if I won a trophy I would give it to him. That won him over.

We had a pretty good turn out at the derby. There were probably 10 people that brought cars. We had the scale to weigh them and everything. Mine was .2 ounces overweight and there was a little bit of whining from some of the boys about that. There was another girl whose weighed the same as mine. I did feel a little bad about the weight of mine when it kept winning. It came down to me, the girl whose weighed the same as mine and one other guy. To make the last race fair we let him add .2 ounces to his. Mine was still the very clear winner. That's right I won first place at the Pinewood Derby!!

I took the car back to it's owner and handed over the trophy. He was soooo excited! He wanted all the details about how far his car won all it's races by. I think he had decided he was happy he had let me borrow it. I was happy I didn't have to take the time to build my own and I still did that good! :)

My 30th Birthday!

Today is my 30th birthday! I know what your thinking, "30? She doesn't look that old!" Thank you for thinking that. Sometimes I think I did the math wrong, but it turns out I didn't. I am really 30! I have decided that the 30's are the new 20's and this decade is going to be great! My awesome roommates threw me a big birthday bash last night! It was a lot of fun. We probably had around 20 people there and it was a really great night.
This is me and my long time friend Kyle. He loves to take these kind of pictures. That is MJay in the background. He came down from Salt Lake! (So it might not of been just for my party)Yes, we had a pinata! It was Celeste's idea. She filled it with candy and fun toys. She doesn't do things half way.
They sprayed me with silly string. Poor Natalie got it too since she was sitting by me. Thanks to my roommates for throwing me a great party! Thank you friends that came and all the friends and family that called, texted and sent messages on facebook. I love you all!

The Quiet Game

The first time I went to Alaska, I saw both of my brothers. They don't live anywhere near each other. So I flew to Anchorage first and stayed in Wasilla for a several days and then flew down to Ketchikan and stayed for several days. When my brother that lives in Wasilla was taking me to the airport his kids decided to play the quiet game. They all stayed quiet for a few minutes and the my niece, who was probably three at the time shouted "I won!" Her brother of course argued and told her that she actually lost but she didn't understand that and just kept saying "uh huh, I won!" It made me laugh. Then I got down to my other brother's house and his two boys decided to play the quiet game. They were not two seconds into the game and the three year old shouted "I losed!" You can tell he understood the game and he wasn't interested in playing.

Oh the things kids say!

Since I can't think of anymore Crazy Roommate Stories I decided maybe I could write about some funny things my Nieces and Nephews have said. I have three nieces and seven nephews and I have heard a lot of funny things from them. I have already told a few from one of my nephews.

The first story comes from one of my nieces when she was five. I was up in Alaska babysitting them and I was doing my laundry. She saw my bra and here was the exchange:

Kennedie: "Whose bra is that?"

Me: "Mine."

Kennedie: "You wear a BRA and you are not even married?!!!"

She was very appalled. I found it so funny because she acted so disgusted to find that out.

This next story is from the same niece but an earlier trip to Alaska. She was probably three at the time. We were looking at some old photo's and she saw her older sister wearing one of the outfits that she currently used.

Kennedie: "That is mine and Kenzie stole it from me!!"

Her Mom: "No honey, you weren't even born yet."

Kennedie: "Uh huh and Kenzie stole it!"

She just couldn't understand that it was a hand me down, and she was very upset. I love my nieces and nephews!

No Thank you!

Ok, so I am really late writing this blog post and technically it is Sunday but whatever. This might be the last installment of Crazy Roommate stories because I am not sure I can think of anymore.
I've had some roommates that I have been really close to and we were really good friends while we were roommates. This girl was not one of them. I came home one day and she asked if I wanted to see her new bra and started to lift up her shirt. I quickly stopped her and told her no thank you. She kind of acted offended and said "Oh, well I showed it to *Milly." Um, I wouldn't have even wanted to see the bra of one of my close friends, let alone one that I didn't really even get a long with! What do people think!
*Name was changed to protect the innocent.
