I love my puppy...

...even though he's utterly stupid!
Me and Troy

I know, this is so late...

But this is a public happy birthday to Gracie!

She's TROUBLE!!!

I'm TROUBLE and I know it!!!

What are you doing to me?!

It's great having older siblings, you get to play with cool things, like this! It also tastes really good and Danielle  moves very quickly whenever I bring it near my mouth.

Coke Commercial

Two months ago for school, Nathan and I had to make an advertisement for some product made in the 1800s. After some consideration, we decided on Coke. We went to the store and bought 18 bottles of Coke (we've still got at least 12 bottles in the fridge...) and made this advertisement. I thought everyone would enjoy watching it!  (Sorry, I couldn't make it any bigger on Blogger. If you want to see it bigger, the youtube link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2NpSKIBxLw)



Needless to say, we got an A+ on the project. :-D

Promise, the Butter Eater

The other night at dinner, Mom made pumpkin muffins. They were so moist we didn't need butter. However, Promise, of course, added a smidgeon of butter to hers. Dad noticed and teased her, "Of course, Promise is getting butter. And I bet she loves to eat plain butter out of the jar."

Promise giggled and gave Dad a look that said, "don't you know anything?" and answered, "Daddy! I don't eat plain butter *pause* out of a jar!" 


Oh, precious Peanut, I love you!

California Man Stuck in Baby Swing for 9 Hours After Bet Goes Wrong


I found this on Fox News and laughed so hard. I just had to share it! Enjoy! :)


Published October 25, 2011
A California man became stuck in a baby swing for about nine hours after a wager went horribly wrong, police said.


After making a $100 bet with friends, the 21 year old lubricated himself with laundry detergent and squeezed into the swing, the Times-Herald reported.

But the man became stuck, and his friends decided to leave him swinging in Blue Rock Springs Park overnight.

He was discovered when a groundskeeper heard screaming around 6:00 a.m. local time Saturday.
Firefighters freed the man by cutting the swing's chains. He was taken to a local hospital, where the baby seat was removed with a cast cutter.

The man sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Isaac the Goof Ball

We let Isaac eat something sour... This was the result. It's absolutely hillarious (at least I think so!).

Don't Believe Everything you Read...

Don't believe everything you read. I read that if you pour different nail polishes on top of water, they would stay on the surface, you could swirl them, and run your nails through it to create really cool nails... Yah, right! I tried it and it looked like I killed someone. What do you think? It then took me half-an-hour just to get it off again... Needless to say, don't try this!

 

More Laughs :-D

I love finding funny quotes and pictures. Here are some of my favorites. :) Enjoy!


Yes, this has happened before... :)

For those of you who might not know, Emma Watson is the heroine in the Harry Potter series and  Kristen Stewart is Bella in Twilight.






The weirdest place I've ever found a cat was in my dresser drawer. And she was howling to get out...

I can't look at this without bursting out laughing...


Right, Brittany? 
Anyway, I thought these were good!

Everyone Loves a Fair!

So on Friday we went to the NC State Fair. We go every year and we had a great time, as usual! :D I took a ton of pictures, surprise, surprise. Usually, we just go to the fair, look to see if our entries won anything, and look at a bunch of exhibits. No food or rides. However, this year, Nathan and I decided to sample some food... *evil grin* I got a deep-fried pecan pie (so delicious!) and Nathan got deep-fried oreos (he liked them). Mom pronounced them both disgusting (which means they were both extremely yummy).

I think we traumatized Joshua... :-) In case he got lost, I wrote his name and mom and dad's cell phone numbers on his arm with a pen. We told him that if he got lost, he needed to walk up to someone and tell them he was lost and show them his arm. He was so terrified of getting lost that he freaked out whenever we took him away from Mommy. Poor kid.

This was also the longest time we've ever spent at the fair. We got there around 10am and didn't leave until 6pm. Needless to say, we were exhausted. What I don't get is why Joy Anna was so wound up and crazy on the way home. She didn't sleep all day yet she talked and laughed all the way home...

Anyway, here's some pics from the day! (WARNING: A lot of pics!) Click on them for full res.



Isn't she a doll?


Cow girl kisses <3

Grace really wanted the raffle horse!

N's blue ribbon :) 
He also got a second place for his eagle.

Isaac's Twin Towers

The girls' mobiles

Nathan got second on that airplane.

This won first place. Isn't it incredible?!

Ok, so maybe we get kettle corn, but that (and maybe ice cream) is it!

Look at those brooms!

My favorite - the trolls! 

Lil' traveler


Getting ready for the animal races... :-D

Racing goats - aren't they cute?!

I have no clue what to call him but he was about 8-10 feet tall, walked around, and sang...

That is actually a cake!

Chickies :-)


a 19lb sweet potato! Yes please!

Joy Anna loved the fair

282 lb watermelon... 

this actually isn't the biggest pumpkin that's ever been entered here...

is it just me or does that sweet potato look like a dead chicken?

My deep-fried pecan pie! :-P




That looks like a headache for someone :)

Food?

The butt line up :)

I'll pull yours off if you pull mine off!

We found out Grace likes baby cows. She's asking us to get one... 

King of the Mountain - or should I say King of the Yak? 


Good bye, fair! I had a wonderful time! See you again in about 4 years...

She was unbelievably wound-up on the ride home

Then when we got home, Nathan's birthday present was waiting for him :-)

Oh yah!
