Unbelievably Disturbing!

Brace yourselves for this video peeps...



Ok first off this is a 2 years old boy from Indonesia. He smokes about 40 cigarettes a day! His parents claim, that if they don't give him a cigarette he throws a tantrum...ummm hello don't all children throw tantrums?..Doesn't mean you have to give in to harm your child. Ughgh this video just disgusts me; it was on the news the other night and I can't get it off my mind. He can even twirl the dang thing, he looks like veteran in cigarette smoking; some people should not be parents.

How rude...

So a few weeks ago Meg and I decided to go out for lunch at the Olive Garden...one of my personal faves! We had a great time chatting eating heaps of their bread sticks, soup and salad; meanwhile Bennett played quietly on the floor with his toys. Near the end of our meal the waitress brought in a lady and her daughter to sit right behind us, she looked at us and said to the waitress "ummm do you have anywhere else for us to sit?" The waitress said, "No this is one of the only places left that has a server," the lady rolled her eyes and said "well we can eat at a different restaurant then," and left.

Two minutes later the waitress brought in a mom and her son (who was about 12) they were about to sit down and the mom said, "can you please seat us somewhere else?" The server asked, "Do you mind me asking why?" "Because there are babies in this section!" The server explained that the babies really hadn't made any noise during the whole meal; the lady said she still would like to be moved. The waitress said there was nowhere else to sit and the lady rudely said "fine," and sat down. uhghg how rude. Really, I could understand if it was dinner time and you were on an date for an anniversary and wanted a quiet intimate dinner without babies, but it was lunch time and she was with her son. What did they really need to talk about that was so intimate?

It was at that moment that I said a little prayer that the lady would someday have the worst behaved grandchild ever....Christ-like I know, but I had too. Umm another thing that drove me nuts was hello...she obviously had a baby once too, you think she would be more considerate and understanding, plus none of the babies were even making noise. Ughhg people these days.

A Fabulous week..

in Southern Alberta! Bennett and I took a trip down to Cardston to see my parents. We had a great time filled with good food, bowling, lots of games of Blockus and Dutch Blitz and we saw some great family and friends. Prepare for picture overload...sorry!

One night one of my best friends Shala came over with her mom and dad and had pizza, she entertained us with the usual song and dance...I just love this girl.

It was also my Grandpa Bennett's Birthday so we went into Lethbridge for a visit.

Bennett and Bronson just enjoying some time in the bath....I love all the rolls.

We had a great time bowling, and it was great to see Cara and Justin. Tylee and Sawyer were obsessed with bowling, and Megan of course won....she always does.



Porter and Sawyer (Gawyer as Porter would call him...so cute) were the best of buds, they got along so well. We spent a lot of time with Tommy and Ashley!

This is what happens when Aunt Haley is babysitting.....


Bennett was in Heaven and downed at least half of Haley's slurpee, if she didn't give him some he would scream and clench his fists, sure enough Haley would give in!

Thanks Mom and Dad for putting up with us for a week; we had a great time! When we got home Bennett was so excited to see his dad, it was cute. Melv surprised me with a clean house, supper made, flowers on the table, and a kitchen aide for Mother's Day. It is good to be home!

Guess who's 2 today...

Today is Tucker's birthday! He is 2 years old and is still a little bundle of mischief; we sure do love him though. My favorite things about the little pup are, he loves to snuggle and watch t.v with me, no matter how long you leave the house, 2 hours, half hour or 1 minute he is always excited to see you. He is really little (4lbs.) and cute, especially when he has a new haircut. He is a good running or rollerblading buddy. We love almost everything about him except his breath and his bark! Tucker has a mind of his own...the other day Melvin was dropping squares off for a funeral at the church, and of course Tucker jumps out of the car and runs into the middle of the traffic circle...Melvin had to stop traffic and try and catch the little brat, but off he kept running; he was finally caught back at the church. We are working on teaching him obedience. I am happy we got Tucker, he is fun to have around the house and I am sure Bennett and him will be the best of friends some day. Right now Tucker is still scared of Bennett because he loves to pull on his ears and hair.


He was the cutest puppy I have ever seen!


O.k. he does love Bennett once in awhile. It is true when they say a dog is a man's best friend!

Shout Out!

A Huge shout out to all the Mothers out there on Mother's Day! I have been truly blessed with an amazing mother! My mom knows me inside and out and always supports me in whatever I do.

My mom never missed a sports game of mine, even though I was one of the worst players on the team...When I was in grade seven and I made my first basket of the year...there was my mom, proud as ever and cheering oh so loud, even though I scored on the wrong basket (did I mention this was halfway through the year too). My mom has always made me feel special! I have always loved the simple things she does like tickling my back in church. She was always up for a late night chat to hear me rant about useless drama!

When I was having my gall bladder attacks and was miserable, Melvin would always ask what he could do and all I could say was, "I want my mom"....there is just something so comforting about having your mom around when you are sick.

Last week I was home and I had the chance to read some of my mom's journal entries and I was just in awe over her testimony. My mom joined the church when she was 19 and has been so solid in the gospel ever since. My mom has always been very giving and loves to do service.

Another thing I love about my mom is that she looks great and young for her age...this has got me in trouble a few times because at work, ladies ask me to guess their age and I always compare them to my mom...needless to say I always guess they are way older than they are.

My mom is an awesome Grandma, she always spoils her grandkids, she brags about them (in a good way) and makes you feel like your kid is just the best and cutest kid around! Bennett lights up when he hears her voice.

There are so many things I love about my mom and I could go on forever, she truly is fabulous! If I can be half the mom my mom is then Bennett is one lucky guy. Love you MOM!

I am also grateful for my mother-in-law...She sure raised Melvin right! she:
-is an amazing cook
-has the best chuckle ever
-is always so calm
-she is great at playing the piano
-has a great sense of humour
-is so selfless....the list can go on and on...She is amazing!


Last but not least, I am so blessed to be a mom to Bennett, there is no better calling in life...Heavenly Father sure spoiled me. Bennett brings me so much joy, if I am having a bad day or moment all it takes is one smile from him and my attitude changes. I am so lucky!

Change Room Etiquette!

***Disclaimer: if you like to walk around the women's change room naked then don't read this post or at least don't get offended!

ughhg I am reminded of one of my biggest pet peeves every time I go to a public swimming pool. Right when I walk towards the change room doors I suffer from slight anxiety, knowing that I am going to see a plethora of woman flaunting their naked bodies even if their bodies are far from flaunt-able. Maybe this doesn't bother most people and maybe I was just really sheltered growing up in a small town. Yeah, I understand that some people don't want to wait for a stall and try to change quickly and discretely outside of the stall....no biggie (I am not talking about these ladies)....I am talking about the ladies that drop their suits in the showers, dry off and then walk across the whole change room, look in the mirror, dry their hair and talk to a few people completely in the buff...come on give me a break I don't need to see that and either do my nieces! Really it is impossible not to stare...does that make me a creep? I don't think I could do that, even if I had the bod of a playboy model. Has anyone heard of privacy? The worst part is, most of these naked ninnies are older women, I thought the older generation were supposed to be more modest and traditional.

This whole pet peeve began when I was a youngin' (about 8) my family and I were in Banff and a lady walked into the shower room butt naked and stood right beside me; she began lathering her body with soap and proceeded to ask me questions... where are you from? How old are you? How awkward! I've had this pet peeve ever since.

I understand this is a total different story for men and maybe not a big deal to most other women, maybe I am just weird who knows. Either way it makes me uncomfortable. Anyways, I want to hear of some things that drive you absolutely nuts!
