BEFORE and AFTER :)

Trying to be cool

We really like our new ward. We had a great time yesterday and I managed to pull off looking somewhat cool. As some may know I manage to say the most embarrassing comments in church (in general actually)

i.e. PREVIOUS WARDS

R.S. President "Sisters, what are some of you greatest fears?"

my hand immediately shoots up

"Getting raped and murdered"

R.S. President "Hmmmm... yes... anyone else"

Other sisters
"Finances"
"Children going on a wrong path"
"Not making it to celestial kingdom"

Or the time in Webb Bridge ward when while talking about marriage I tell this experience.

"My husband loves computer games and has been a really sore spot in our marriage, but recently instead of giving him grief about playing I asked if I could join him and play with him. This was a really hard thing for me to do because I have given him such a hard time and I hate computer games especially fantasy ones but we had alot of fun and then after a couple of hours I went to bed. He then turned off the computer and came to bed"

BIG HUGE AWKWARD SILENCE

Then I realized what that sounded like and I just wanted to say "Nooo not that... thats not what I meant! What I was meaning by the last sentence was that he came to bed to sleep!" My face was so red.

So usually every Sunday church goes something like this...

R.S. Teacher "Would anyone like to share an experience they've had about this topic"

Shellie "I am just going to raise my hand and say anything that comes out... it probably will have nothing to do with what you're saying... sorry... lets see how you can recover and bring it back to the subject" Smile :)


The way I feel in church would best be summed up by a line from Juno:

Juno: You're like... the coolest person I've ever met and you don't even have to try.

Paulie: I try really hard actually

MegaJohn and Crazy

Dallen loves Transformers. We have officially said goodbye to Thomas (well at least for a little while) we packed up all his trains because they weren't getting played with and Kate would just dump the track pieces every where. So Dallen thinks he's Bumblebee. He has a pair of Transformer sandles that he wears every where outside and when he's inside he wears them on his hands so he can have "tire hands" I will have to get some footage of him turning into a car and turning into bumblebee. It's hilarious.

So awhile back when we we're at the store I bought some bumblebee tuna and Dallen recognized the word "Bumblebee" so he asked "Is that food for me?" and I answered "its for the whole family" He said "No its say's my name on it" "See it say's Bumblebee!"

He also calls MegaTron - "MegaJohn" and so when ever we talk about our friend John Shumway he asks us if we are talking about "MegaJohn"

Kate has picked up so many words. She's a talking maniac. She says the norm stuff like "Mama, Dada, Dal (dallen), Kitty, Dog, Hi, Bye Bye, All Done" She also has some words like "Happy, Apple, Meow" the best one is "crazy" its so cute. I think it's because I always say "You drive me crazy" I am such a horrible mother!

What did I do today?

Sometimes I think what in the world did I get done today. I sometimes lay in bed at night and think did all I do was watch Spongebob and change diapers! But here's what I did today!

*Watched Spongebob

*Vacuumed whole house

*Played in playroom with kids for a couple of hours (not all at once)

*Changed Diapers

*Went to 4 different grocery stores for Postum to sell on ebay

Yep thats it!
