on my mind.

a few months ago I was logging onto our online banking

which was extremely frustrating

because it wasn't "recognizing" my password (hello old friend! you've always been the same...)

so...

in a fit of rage I changed my password

which was not accepted

time and time again

so in an even more fit of rage

I tried one last time

to change that password

and I might've changed it

into some sort of (ok really) naughty words

and just like that it said

"your password has been changed"

so for months everytime I logon to online banking

I have to type in naughty words.

my questions for you:

should I change it back?

does an actual person at the bank know my password?

and are you going to try and break into my account now?

gorilla bar.

this morning ...
Ty:
"Mom, teacher said it was ok for us to bring some water and like a healthy snack to school."

Me:
"OK. What kind of snack are you thinking of?"

Ty:
"Teacher said something like a gorilla bar?"

Me:
"UM... We don't have those." (thinking is this some kind of crazy new hostess snack cake that I don't know about? and since when are hostess snack cakes healthy? nevermind... they are ALWAYS healthy.

so Ty went to school with just water. And it just barely occured to me what a gorilla bar is. DUH! did you figure it out too?

do you ever?

do stuff that you have no idea is weird but come to find out is REALLLLY weird?

for example: I just assumed that EVERYONE Lysol's their flip-flops. what? they don't? well I do. gross if you don't. you wash your socks don't you?

also! I for the LOOONGEST time have stored our "guest" pillows in a large Ziploc bag. so, you know, they stay fresh and dust free!!? I had no idea that that was odd until my girlfriend pointed out that I am FREAK-ISH. (love you Sar.)

and just today someone (you know who you are MICHELLE!!!!) laughed at my dish brush labeled "OLD" for sink cleaning ONLY (not to be mistaken with the one that currently cleans the dishes!) heaven forbid that the sink germs get on my dishes that go IN THE SINK.

don't tell anyone ok? this can be our little secret. you know, your freakish friend that you are going to go and tell EVERYONE about? haha! share your weirdnesses -- I DARE YOU!!!

ALSO! ............

Pudgey-Wudgey got glasses. and learned how to read. she is amazing.

my sweet boy shootin' a gun. (a BB gun. but still a gun!) he had a *BLAST* at Scout Day Camp. I would know. I was there. (say hi to the Aspen Heights Wolf Leader. howwwwwwwwwwwwl!)

the 24th ... Ty and Hai in the parade. they loved it. Hai was pretty sure it made her famous. I am pretty sure it didn't.

RODEO!!! we all LOVED it. funny (((true))) story: when we were walking in one of the clowns looked at Hai and said "Hi cutie!" I (yes I -- not she) said "HI!" there was no recovery -- "I meant -- she says hi?" he looked at me like a crazy.

we went to the Fiesta Days Carnival -- where Ty did 2 spinning rides in a row. we told him he looked "pale" which TOTALLY FREAKED HIM OUT!!! it was hilarious.....

she LOVED the Carnival ...

Happy 6th Birthday Hailey!!!

we love our "Squeezy baby" -- "Baby Joey"

we stopped in VEGAS on the drive to D-land (which ... I might add ... was NOT convenient AT ALL. we thought it would be fun to stay on the strip -- it WAS fun -- but added TOO MUCH DRAMA. ANDREW.)
our hotel in the background...
