Very Funny

We've been having an awesome summer. I haven't been blogging about it like I should. But when SamMan said this, I knew it must be posted immediately. After seeing a flag, SamMan exclaimed, "Look, There's the flag for The United States of Bawock Obama!!

The Joys of the Mind of SamMan

Ah, SamMan has exceded our expectations as family comedian this weekend.



1. Yesterday, we were driving to Costco on another rainy day. (And, right now I'm listening to a heck of a storm starting to calm. Oop, nope I just heard lightning. Now, there is no more lightning. Now, I will continue on.) In the car, we had some semi-broken toys that we were going to take to the DI sometime. Since I'm sure that you are sick of me typing my thoughts, and I'm trying to make my blog more EXCITING!!!



So, I will just show you the conversation now.


SamMan: Can we get a new one of this toy?


Daddy: No, its just for littler kids like Willwam for their cribs.


SamMan: You might like it!!


SamMan: And it would make a FABULOUS PRIZE!!!!!!!!! (in a "The Price is Right" announcer voice.)

2. SamMan: Joshy, I'm gonna roast this marshmallow on the fire!


Jogus: I don't think we should do that.

SamMan: Why, what's the problem?!

3. (during family prayer.)

SamMan: Thank you for the food. Morgan is my girlfriend. She can't come over because its a Sunday, but once we made a cake. Amen.

Amen to that!

(Morgan is a neighbor who comes over often. SamMan is now convinced they are boyfriend/girlfriend.)

The Last Week of May (This Post Will Most Likely Be Terribly, Terribly Boring) aka: Post 96

The title says it all.

On Monday, we did the 4th annual Lehi Kids Triathalon. It was a blast. We swam, rode our bikes, and then ran. We thought that when I made it to the stop where you start to run, I could just change into my tennis shoes there so that I didn't have to push my really wet feet into socks/shoes at the bike stop. However, Mo and Daddy didn't end up making it, so I ran in my flip flops. Princess did well and kept informing us that "She got second out of the little kids." (If you try to tell her that se got second out of the little kids, she gets upset.)

On Thursday, at our school fun run, the most ironic thing happened. After you run, they do a raffle and give out prizes. Me and Princess both got towel packages, (hers girly, mine boyish) that came with goggles. These were both at seperate raffle times, w/ no intentions of the brother-sister giveaway. And we both needed both of those things. A Coincedence? I THINK SO!

(And, Princess got a bag with passes to go to a bunch of cool places, so many activities will revolve around the passes she got.)

PS- I am almost to 100 posts! :)

An Amazing, Touching Story (Tears)

It might be that I have a personal connection to this story after spending time with my autistic cousin, but it sure prevents me from having dry eyes. Check it out in The Friend June 2009.

"My Brother is My Best Friend. By: Boston, Age 8

My big brother has autism. It is hard for him to talk and make friends, but he is my very best friend. I take care of him when we ride the bus to school, and I make sure he doesn't get lost when we are away from home. I help him find his class in primary and pray for him every night. (Teary.) I have faith that one day he will be able to tell me what he has been thinking all this time. He will smile and tell me that I am his best friend too. I am so lucky to be his brother. I love him."

Crying yet? :)
