My hubby is SO funny!

Stephen called me while I was at work today. This is what proceeded:

(Everything is said in a whisper)
Kami: Hello?
(He immediately begins to whisper with me)
Stephen: Why are we whispering?
Kami: Because I like to see what people do when I do it.
(Still whispering)
Stephen: Is there someone in the office that you don't want them to know where you are because they are going to hurt you?
Kami: Yes.
Stephen: Do you need me to come save you?
Kami: Yes.
Stephen: I am going to go to Walmart and buy a batman costume and then I will come and save you.
Kami: Hurry
Stephen: The lines at Walmart will probably be long.

Enough said.

November 4th

Ever since I was in high school government I have had a craving for understanding politics. I know, I'm weird. I love to listen to talk radio, research issues, and just be informed. Next week is my time to shine. I get to go to the poles and get a little sicker that says, "I VOTED".

I am begging anyone who reads this...please vote.

Well of course we have pumpkins!

I LOVE the holidays. They are SO much fun. According to me the holidays begin with Halloween and go all the way to Easter. Don't you just love having a reason to celebrate? Stephen and I and Morgan and Jess (good friends of ours) did a little pumpkin carving Saturday and ours looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. The truth is in the picture...That is quite a scarey trick-or-treater. Stephen picked that one all by himself. All the ones that I wanted to do were really hard and probably would have taken all night. (That part didn't really matter to me because I was just scrapping out the goo while Stephen had to do the hard part of cutting). Here are some pictures of the nights events. You can judge for yourself as to weather or not we (when I say we, I mean Stephen) are crazy.

Quick note...

Primary is not for the faint of heart.

THE House

I have been so excited to live in an actual house that is mine (and Stephen's). It has been so fun to try and decorate and put new things in new places so I thought that I would post some cool pix of our house.

Here is my WAY cute kitchen. The picture really doesn't give it justice so you'll have to just take my word for it.

After we have the way cute kitchen lets look at the really cute dining room with the beautiful table given to me my mother and grandmother. It actually matches really well...at least that is what I think.

Here is the living room with our really neat table that Stephen's parents got for us for our birthdays. I really like the table and it helps to tie our kitchen and living room together. We also got the Christus from Stephen's Aunt Sharon. Doesn't it look SO great in here...don't forget little Snickle and Stephen's TV...

This is our shadow box that leads into our bedroom. It has a picture that my parents gave me for my birthday two years ago of two sister missionaries. It took a lot of convincing to for Stephen to allow me to put it up. BUT IT LOOKS SO STINKIN' GOOD!!!

Here's our bedroom set that we looked for forever to find. We finally found one that we liked. If you look really closely you will see a little brown bear with a red checkered scarf sitting on the bed. That one ALSO took a lot of convincing on my part. His name is Checkers. Every time that Stephen's pulls down the bed at night he throws the bear on the ground as hard as he can. It makes a really loud noise and I always know what it was. I chase him around the house saying, "BE NICE TO CHECKERS!!!" He laughes at me and runs. He just likes to get a rise out of me. Boys...


Here is our bathroom with two sinks. NOW I DON'T HAVE TO SHARE WITH STEPHEN!!! Okay it might seem kind of gross to have a picture of our toilet, but my candle matches my shower curtian and the rug. I just had to show you...so sorry if anyone gets really grossed out. It is a really cool angle though.

Off of our entry way we have two extra bedrooms and an extra bathroom. One bedroom we have converted into an office. I want EVERYONE to notice the extra bedroom that has an extra double bed. You can come visit if you want! Yes and I'll make you food.

And finally dun dun du du...here is the messy laundry room. It just looks like a laundry room doesn't it? That is the inside tour of my b-e-a-u-tiful house. Don't you just love it? We do.

The Fortieth Great-Grandchild

So my grandmother called me this morning while I was at work. Let me give you the dialogue:

Kami: Hi Grandma!
Grandma: OH! I didn't think that you were going to answer the phone while you were at work. I figured that I would be talking to the answering machine...Are you going to get fired if you talk to me while you are at work?!
Kami: No, you're okay, we can talk for a minute or so.
Grandma: OH! I'm SO sorry, I'll talk to you later Kami D. Luv ya! (Click)

Yeah, she hung up on me. She really needs to get those hearing aids fixed.

I called her back a little bit later while I was on break. She had something very important that she felt needed to be said. For those of you who don't know, my grandmother is 85 years old and I honestly believe that she will live forever. Anyway...back to the important discussion...Grandma has decided that she is ready for her next greatgrandchild.

My brother, sister, and I all got married in a period of nine months (I know, my poor mother). According to my grandma the next greatgrandchild will be number 40 and she has given up hope on anyone else except for my siblings and I. I've talked to my brother and he said no. I guess it will just have to be up to the younger sister than. Sister, you know who you are, get cracking!

Vaccuum Furballs

As a little aside I would just like to add...when your vaccuum of only 8 months is spitting baseball sized furballs there is only one thing to do. Call your mother and ask her how to fix it.

Black Pens or Blue Pens

As some of you might know I have been called to the wonderful calling of primary teacher of the six and seven year olds in the Desert Ward of the Meridian Stake. (I wanted it to sound really official.) As a primary teacher you quickly learn a lot of things. For example, if you let one of the kids go to the bathroom EVERYONE has to go the the bathroom, or if you let one of the kids play a game EVERYONE has to have a turn, "or it isn't fair". I have learned many such lessons in my last couple of months of teaching. However I would just like to relate one such lesson.


I have a little girl in my class who has the attention span of about ten seconds. That might even be pushing it. For the sake of the story we will call her Jane. On one occasion Jane's parents let her bring a notebook and pen to class to keep her entertained. During class everytime that I stopped teaching for more than a few seconds she would walk up to me and ask me to write down the words to one of the primary songs. I tried to appease Jane while trying to also keep all of the other kids' attention on the lesson. I have atleast six kids every week so sometimes that gets difficult.


I managed to get through teaching the class and when the second bell had rung, my amazing primary kids marched down the hall with their arms folded to go to sharing time. I take turns sitting next to the different noisy kids during sharing time depending on who is "demanding" my attention. I switch seats quite frequently. For some reason on this particular day I knew that I sould probably stay sitting next to Jane.


Jane refused to let me take her notebook and pen during sharing time. She was relatively quiet with them, so I didn't push her. In the middle of sharing time one of my other kids started to hit someone accross the isle and I turned to take care of the problem. I think that I looked away from Jane for less than 10 seconds. When I turned to see what she was doing all I saw was her look of innocence and the open pen in hand...she had written ALL OVER herself. Okay let me clarify. She had written all over her left hand and then up to her elbow and all the way to the sleeve of her cute little short sleeve dress. THESE KIDS ARE FAST!!!

Remind me when I have children to never allow anyone under the age of 15 to hold a pen.

Well hello...
