Yes, we have lived in this house for 4 years and

we have never painted the porch.

Taping is the worst part of painting.

Leena Lou and one of many spiders.

Playing around in the tool trailer.

Did you know blue masking tape bracelets are all the rage?

THIS POST.

You need to see that post first.

Or this will make no sense.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, BAM! They put up their Christmas lights :)

Tonight, Leena Lou tried

on this adorable bathing suit. She looked darling.

Puff (in what may be his last shopping trip with us ever again) made an "ick face" at her and said

"Girls just shouldn't wear bathing suits."

Kid's Date

Our parent's were on their own little date, so the kids went to dinner.

Puff trying to make me feel uncomfortable. It always works.

Bach Episode 1

On Kimberly

Me: “Do you think she looks like she might be Mormon? “

Puff: “Yeah she’s hugging her mom and she has a bob.”



It was so awkward when the girl said “Do you have a registry for those guns?” And then she laughed and Jake didn’t even get it.



Most boob jobs and psycho girls ever!



Whats with all the gifts? Peacock feather girl, double sided coin girl, ride my Harley gloves girl, dirt from Texas, The Jake and Ashley picker girl, basket of candy girl, aviator glasses girl, her child’s lucky airplane girl, football girl…



Puff: “What kind of a name is Guy-Uhh?”

Me: “Umm puff its Gia”

Puff: “oh”



Channy is AWKWARD! And her lips never touch when she talks.



I loved it when Michelle zoomed up to him like an airplane. It reminded me of when you feed a small child and pretend that the spoon is a plane.



Vienna’s lazy eye is hilarious.



Ali falling and ripping her dress and then saying “I’m keeping this rip forever so I can say that’s the day I fell for you.” Corny! At least it was an accident, unlike the other girl who fell on him.



Michelle- can you say emotionally unstable?



Enough with the co-pilot jokes….



Jil and Ed were so cute taking notes and interviewing all the girls



IN:

Tenley- I like her

Ella- Puff likes her, I think I like her but I am not quite sure

Elizabeth- I like her and shes beautiful

Ali- love her

Vienna- shes crazy

Ladies, Jake, this is the final rose for tonight.

Michelle- he is a dummy for not listening to Ed and kicking her to the curb!



Looks like it's going to be as dramatic and wonderfulk as ever! I can't wait. I just wish my main Bach girl Abby Ann wasn't in Utah :(

Christmas

Daddy all ready with his trash bag to collect all the wrapping paper. That is his favorite job along with putting batteries in all the toys that require batteries.

Puff opening a present.

Grandpa crying "tears of gratitude" over his sweat suit.

Puff opening up his biggest and best present, a airsoft sniper rifle.

Talking to Matt on the phone. Puff looks so bored.

Daddy with the Christmas morning highlight, a chicken that you fling. And it makes annoying chicken noises as well.

Me and my favorite holiday food, cranberry salad.

Grammy cooking

Leena Lou, always first to the table and the last one to leave.

Daddy and Grammy prepping the turkey.

Daddy with an alternate project: spider web hunting.

The reason people gain weight at Christmas time.

We know how to do the Drive-In.

We get most of the spare blankets and pillows from our house as well as a huge foam mattress and put it into the back of my daddy's truck. Then we all pile in.

Mommy and Me (it's cold, you have to bundle up)

Queen Leena Lou on her mountain of blankets

Leena Lou, Mommy, Daddy and Puff in their spots.

Me in my spot.

The movies (The Princess and the Frog and The Blindside) were great until the car battery died halfway through the movie and we couldn't hear. Then we had to call AAA to jumpstart the car because the engine was too big for regular jumper cables.

Oh well, better luck next time!

Avatar in 3-D

was good! I probably wouldn't watch it again, it is one of those "once is enough" movies. But I was definately entertained.

Puff, Chris and Michael

My fam loves Costco.

It is the second most magical place on earth. Last time we went, my daddy found a little activity to keep him occupied. With the help of his cell phone calculator he was

comparing the prices of paper towels by their cost per square foot. He figured it out for each and every brand and then decided that the most economical choice would be to buy the stiff itchy kind that you find in a public restroom. And to go with it, he would just install a paper towel dispenser in the kitchen.

Now he just has to convince my mommy.

Just Maybe #9

Maybe, just maybe I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies.

And I do not plan to unless my life depends on it. Or possibly my marriage.

Anybody have a better reason?
