Whisterpoop

Whisterpoop meaning: a slight swift smack to the side of the head.

Last night instead of a 'young persons visit' we had a surprise birthday party for Bro. Danny! We all hid in his house when he went out to get plates and napkins for the 'visit' that were we going to have that night next door to his house. Well, little did he know that we were all hiding in his house waiting to shout 'surprise!'. He didnt look THAT surprised,but it was still fun! We ended up playing this game called BalderDash. It was actually alot of fun. If you've never played it, basically you have to just come up with the meaning of random words you've never heard of, or make a description of a random movie you haven't heard of, and so on and the person that's holding the card writes down the correct answer to the question and mixes it up with our answers. So we played a couple of rounds of the game, and whisterpoop was one of the words we had to make up the meaning for. The object of the game is to write down the best meaning so that no one can figure out which is the REAL one, and hoping somone'll pick yours and give you points. Who would've thought that whisterpoop was a swift smack to the head? Not I. My definition was: A gas that releases from the back of a Army Tank." Now, I don't know anything about Army tanks, but it sounded good at the time. :) And amazingly, I got 3 votes for it and won. =D So, now you know what whisterpoop means and can use it in a sentence, such as:
Do you need a whisterpoopin'?
Have YOU been whisterpooped?

Beautiful Day

Wow, its an absolutely beeeaautiful day! The sun is shining and the birds are singing, and most everyone is stuck inside working all day. I went into work early this morning so that I could get off early (I only work 2.5 hours and tuesdays and thursdays) and I got a call from one of my sister in laws asking if I wanted to go for a walk with her at her apartments. Brings back great memories of last spring, when Amy and I used to do our twice a week walk just to get out in the sun and enjoy it with Baby Timothy. Maybe this year we'll start up walking again.
On our way for a walk, we stopped by Mandy's house and she brought Abigail and James for a walk to. It was actually pretty funny looking because, we each had one stroller and were walking in a single file line down the street. Makes me excited to someday have kids of my own, and get to do that with all my sister-in-laws. :) Anyways, its a good day today!

Me and Abigail



This hat was so big on her (you can't really tell), but she wanted to wear it really bad for a the picture.


Last night Jordan and Mandy came over and brought Abigail and James to hang out. Abigail decided she wanted to take some pictures of us together, since she had fun doing that with me the night before! She told me how to pose and everything, so here are some of the pictures we took.

Birthday Girl

Yesterday was Brittany's birthday, so all of us sisters at church decided we'd surprise Brittany with a little party for her birthday! We're all going over there dressed in our jammies (I'm gonna look like a Macaroni box, because I've got these bright blue pants and a bright orange and yellow top. That'll put a smile on her face ;D ) and watch a movie with her and eat popcorn and snacky snacks! (gluten free cake, and gluten free chocolate!! (is there such a thing as gluten chocolate?)) Yesterday, I went over and surprised her too! ;) She was getting all lonely and sad before I got over there, thinking I wasn't going to go see her on her birthday! Hehhee, she was up alone in her room watching a movie when I got there, so she wasn't expecting me to pop in when I did. It was cute seeing her face all light up! :)
Anyways, it'll be so much fun getting to have a girls night tonight with Brittany. I miss having those girl nights with her!!

Twin?

Timothy took me out to a highschool play tonight..and I'm still really not sure what it was called,but it was really cute! They had it all set up so that you sat at a table and ate dessert and drank tea or apple cinder, while they sang and danced up on stage. It was actually really nice that way. But as we were being seated, I noticed this girl that looked exactly like Sister Kristen. So much so that I was searching the crowd for her husband, so that we could get them to sit next to us! Well, it turns out that wasn't Sis. Kristen, and Kristen is out of town anyways so she couldn't have been there. But it was just very strange. The girl had the same shape, same nose, same hair, almost everything like Kristen. Are there other girls in the world that look exactly like me?! Or HAVE there been other girls in the past, or future, that have looked like me? How many possible ways are there for God to make a human face look different? I suppose everything is possible with God, but that sure is a whole lot of faces to make different!! I guess that'll be one of the silly questions that don't really matter that I'll ask God one day in heaven (Lord willing), "Was every single face that He made different everytime? Or are there people that had the same face as me in the past, present and future?" I'm sure by the time I make it to heaven, I'll forget every silly question I wondered about anyways! ^-^

Other silly things I wonder about that probably have no answers:

If faith can move mountains, have any of the brethren done it?

Do you have to have an amazing amount of faith to move something so big like that?

Do God and/or Jesus weep along with us when we're going through a tough time in the faith like some songs in the church song books talk(or sing) about?

Too much Chipotle, mayhaps?

I'm the biggest dork ever. Last night I made dinner for the guys before we all headed off to church, and I wanted to make 'The ultimate spicy beef nachos' for them. Something new and different that we've never had before. Well, maybe that was a mistake. See, I was rushed for time, since I got home late from work and didnt really start dinner until around 5:30ish. I normally I like to have dinner done right when dad walks in the door or shortly after, so I was rushing around the kitchen trying to put this new recipe together quick so that we could sit down and eat and relax a bit afterwards. I had a medium sized can of Chipotle chiles that I had to open, and I thought that on the recipe it called for a medium sized can of Chipotle. And at the time I was wondering why in the world wasn't it telling the can size? But I continued on and put the whole medium can into the meat.
Today I got some sad text messages from the guys complaining that their stomaches hurt most the day. And, I was just thinking, well, maybe they shouldn't have ate that much. Welll, I was talking to my mom, and she mentioned that the recipe called for one medium sized Chipotle, not medium can of Chipotle!!! Those poor guys! No wonder it was so hot. O_O I don't normally miss things like that in recipes, so don't be scared to come over here and eat my food, it was just a mistake, I promise!!!

Anyways, I just thought that was pretty funny, because once the guys found out what I had done there was alot of "Lorrraaaainnneee!!" and lots of tales of how their day was in pain. So, I'm sorry guys, you know I didn't do that on purpose, and you know that hardly ever happens!! Next time I will follow the recipes completely, and make sure when it says something weird to read it slowly, so I get it. Heehee!
