Brad's Sense of Humor

I was going through some of my old emails, and found this email Brad sent to me. I love filling out those emails that ask you questions about yourself, and then you forward them to your friends, and they fill it out, and so on. Well, there was one I filled out last year that Brad filled out and sent back to me. Some of you have already read it, but this is one I want to post on here so I can always have a copy. For those of you that don't know Brad, he is freakin hilarious. But he tends to only show that side of himself to those who know him really well. Hope this puts a smile on your face. It makes me laugh so hard every time I read it. Enjoy!

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yes. Probably a cool person or a Greek mythology creature.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Is this physically or psychologically? I cry psychologically all the time, especially when we run out of dryer sheets.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? It depends on the day. Sometimes I love it! However, there are days that I hate it...
4. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Fish, period!
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? 1 little girl, Kassidy. No boys.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? There are a lot of reasons why I feel like I should say yes, but my gut is telling me "no". I don't think I could handle the emotional responsibility of being my friend. If I were a girl I'd think I was hot though.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? No.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Not anyones business... perverts.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? My dad always said I should go bungee jumping without the cord. So it depends.
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Rice Chex was probably my favorite growing up. Then I realized that I just liked them because of all the sugar I dumped on them. Now it's just sugar - hold the cereal...
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Again, none of your business.
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? For a guy not very strong, but as a girl I'd be tough as crap. That would make me tougher than half the world if you really think about it. Did you just picture me as a girl?
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Oreo.
14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Eyebrows - Do people really think they look good connected?
15. RED OR PINK? Depends on what I'm wearing. I hate pink though.
16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? My butt. Too sexy.
17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? Can I change this question to Why I'm so cool? Don't know.
18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU? I hate most people that would read this. Don't bother.
19. WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Wouldn't you like to know. Pervert.
20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? a gerbil.
21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? troubled thoughts.
22. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? I'd be one of those special pens that has like 20 different colors that you can click to use. Then I would use different colors depending on the day of the week. Thursday would definitely be a black day. Not sure what I'd use the other colors for. I don't see a need for them.
23. FAVORITE SMELLS? In summer it would be the smell of the deodorizer when you spray it in the air just after you use the bathroom. It seems odd, but it makes me feel at ease. No one will know what just happened because of the sneaky spray I just released from the bottle. Go ahead, breathe it in. You can kind of still smell it, so don't breath in too deep.
24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? Depends who's asking. If it is the person I just spoke with on the phone, do you want to know who I spoke with just before you? If so, I'd need to know who's asking so I can find out who I spoke with just before I spoke with you. It could have been months ago, even years. Who are you?
25. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? Again, it depends
26. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? It's not the sport that intrigues me. It's the speed of the coverage. I think fast coverage is kind of exciting, yet slow coverage makes more sense. So I'm confused by the phrasing of the question.
27. HAIR COLOR? peach and brown.
28. EYE COLOR? Lemony brown
29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? pervert.
30. FAVORITE FOOD? If it's deep fried, anything - except poop...
31. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? I like to combine the two. A scary movie with a happy ending. Not a fan of Happy movies with Scary endings.
32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Can I change this question to what's the last movie I sang along with? Not sure.
33. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? Soft.
34. SUMMER OR WINTER? Depends on the time of year. Right now it's Summer, but Fall's a comin'...
35. HUGS OR KISSES? pervert.
36. FAVORITE DESSERT? Death Valley.
37. MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? The person who loves me most, or the person that hates me. Either way, I'm excited.
38. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Cheeto.
39. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? None. I only read at night.
40. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? my mouse and a paperclip.
41. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT? I've never been one to watch tv. Sometimes I watch a show or two at night and a couple shows when I get home from work everyday, but I hardly watch tv other than the time I'm not at work.
42. FAVORITE SOUND? Other than bathroom noises which always make me laugh (a sad laugh), I love the sound of the fan in our bathroom. Especially because it kind of muffles all the other noises if I'm not feeling good. Other than that I pretty much hate noise because it hurts my ears sometimes if it is loud (really loud)- unless it is bathroom noises, then it's funny. A sad funny.
43. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? Is that a joke. They both suck. Once you go Carpenters, you never go back.
44. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? As a child I was kept indoors because of my sun rash. When I travel now, in my adulthood, I have to cover my body with damp rags and tape cotton over my eyelids to keep in constant moisture. So I'm not really sure. They could take me pretty much anywhere in the world (inside a 5 mile radius of my home) without me knowing it.
45.SPECIAL TALENTS? I've been known to sing a little when I'm sad.
46. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? It's been hard to figure this part of my life out. My parents swear I was adopted, but I look a lot like my father. Either they're lying, or my bald sweaty head is.
47. WHOSE ANSWERS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK? I hope I never hear from any of you! Don't look at me.

Memorial Day and my Dad's B-day Pics!

So, here I am, once again posting pics that are waaayyy late! Hopefully I will get caught up before the 24th comes around!

The Saturday before Memorial Day we went up to Heber to visit some of Brad's family's grave sites. We go up with my in-laws, Brad's grandma, and Kristen(Jesse couldn't make it this year)with her kids. This year Brian joined us with his girls. I look forward to this every year. It's become such a fun family tradition.

Kassi at Dairy Keen. She loves this place!

After lunch we went to this park to play. It's so beautiful up there!

Kassi, Collin, and Ty

Family pic

On the way home. Kassi and Great Grandma are tuckered out!

On Memorial Day we celebrated my Dad's B-day. Everyone came over to my house and had a BBQ. It was so fun!




Here are some cute pics with Kassi and her cousin Ty. They are such good buddies!

Yes, we are moving......

It is true. After several months of praying and fasting and discussing and stressing and crying, and did I mention praying, we have decided to move out of our home. It's a LONG story, but I will try and give you the shortened version.

We bought a home in Eagle Mountain back in 2004. Cute little starter home that we just loved. At the time, Brad was working in Draper so the commute wasn't too bad. Me, on the other hand, was working in West Valley. The commute was roughly 50 minutes to an hour one way. After a year of trying, we got pregnant with Kassi. I had a rough pregnancy and missed a lot of work. We started struggling a bit financially cause we needed both our incomes to afford living in our house. After I had Kassi, I just couldn't bring myself to go back to work and leave her everyday. Also, Brad was about to start going to the UofU to get his Bachelors. He would never be home. He was working full time and going to school full time, on top of having at least an hour commute one way. So we decided to sell our home. I wanted to stay home with Kassi, and Brad didn't want to have to spend all his free time on the road.

Luckily my in-laws are amazing, and said they would remodel their basement so we could live in there while Brad finished school. While that was getting done, we moved into my parent's house for almost 6 months. Well, we finally moved into the basement, and thought we would only be there a year or so. We ended up being in there almost 3! We just fell in love with the ward, and loved being so close to family.

So the opportunity came up to buy a house from a couple in our ward that was going on a mission. They would let us do a lease option to help us buy their home. We were so excited! It was a bigger home that our family could grow into, and we were even happier that we didn't have to leave our ward.

Well, everyone knows how fun the economy is now. Because of it, things have changed for us, and we decided that we aren't going to put ourselves in the same situation we were in in Eagle Mountain. We are going to get a home that we can pay for with just Brad's income. My job right now is unstable. I am hoping I can work from home for a long time, but I just don't know for sure what is going to happen in the future.

So as sad as we are to do this, we feel it is the right thing to do, and have come to peace with it. We don't know when we are going to move. It could be 2 months, it could be 6. I really don't know for sure.

I hope this has answered some of your questions. I have received several calls and emails and thought it would be best to just tell everyone on here. I want everyone in my ward who reads this to know how much I love them! You have all taught me so much. I am a better person to have known all of you! And don't think you are getting rid of us! My in-laws are still here, so we will be back to visit for sure!

Kinda Embarrassing!

So today I had to go to the doctor to get some blood work done.(Just more infertility stuff.) I've had my blood drawn quite a few times in my life, and as long as I don't watch them do it, I'm fine. I do have a really weak stomach.(Just a side note, when I was younger, I would watch the show "Rescue 911" and anytime they showed alot of blood I would almost pass out.)Like I said, if I don't watch, than I'm fine.

The girl who was taking my blood looked like she was 12, and I told her I have really crappy veins, but she said that they looked fine. So she sticks one arm. No biggie. Then she starts moving the needle around. After several minutes of killing my arm, she said,"Shoot! I lost that one. Gonna have to do the other arm." I start to feel a little woozy. But I kept thinking that I was going to be ok, and that I wasn't going to pass out in front of my daughter. She pokes my other arm, and starts talking to Kassi. Asking her her name, age, stuff like that. All the while moving the needle around like she drunk. I was like, ok, focus on me, quit talking to my daughter. Obviously you can't multi-task.(I didn't say that out loud. I wanted to though!)

After what seemed like forever, she calls out to another nurse asking her if she can "save" whatever she was that she was doing. It was over for me then. I started to sweat, and felt like I was going to pass out. But, what made things even worse is that I felt like I was going to puke. So I said, "No, I am getting really sick." She said,"Do you want me to take the needle out?" I thought, no genius. I want you to keep digging around in my arm. Obviously you don't know what you are doing, and I am about to puke. Instead I said,"No, take it out. I feel like I am going to throw up." Nurse:"Well the bathroom is over there." First of all, I am about to pass out. Second of all, I am going to puke NOW! I saw a garbage can next to me and grabbed it. My stomach was empty, so luckily nothing came up. But the sound affects were lovely. I'm sure all the pregnant women sitting in there were absolutely loving me.

After dry heaving for several minutes, I finally got the strength to lie down on their little bed. Poor Kassi was totally traumatized. I don't know if she will ever go back to the doctor again. But she was so sweet. She kept saying things like,"Don't worry mommy. You will feel all better soon. I will help you mommy. You are a big girl for getting a shot."(That's what I told her was happening.) Anyway, she is so incredibly sweet and loving. So in the end, a different nurse came in and took my blood in like 10 seconds. Lessons I learned from this experience. Don't get your blood drawn on an empty stomach, and make sure you have someone experienced taking the blood.

I am a WINNER!

I am so dang lucky! A couple weeks ago I won this:

A UV Skinz Swim Shirt worth $36 for Brad on Fabulous Fun Finds. (Their button is on the side.) Anyone who likes to win free stuff should totally go over there. They give away something everyday.

THEN, my awesome friend Angela had a giveaway on her blog, and I won this:

A fun art kit for Kassi! I am SO excited! I really never win anything, so I think my luck is changing.

THANK YOU FABULOUS FUN FINDS! THANK YOU ANGELA! YOU ARE THE BEST!

Father's Day!

<
What can I say? I married the best man in the whole world! I can sit here and talk about the great husband he is, but since it is Father's Day, I am going to talk about the amazing father that he is.
Brad and Kassi have been close from day one. When she was born, he didn't want to leave her side for a second. He was the only one who changed her diapers the first couple days. And I could see that he was already wrapped around her finger.

As Kassi has grown, Brad has always helped when she would cry in the middle of the night. He always wanted to know everything that she did while he was at work, and when he got home, he just wanted to be with her.



No matter how tired he is, he ALWAYS takes time to spend with Kassi. I am so lucky to have married someone who is a hands on dad. He would do anything for our family. Kassi is so lucky to have the best dad in the world!




I also want to wish my dad a Happy Father's Day. Some of my fondest memories as a little girl were of my dad making up songs and stories to entertain us kids. He was always so clever! He has now passed that tradition on to his grandkids. He loved telling them stories, and they love to hear them. He is such a great man, and I am very lucky to have him as my dad!

Little Miss Drama Queen!

So I said I am going to try to remember to write things down that Kassi does that I want to remember. I am not doing a very good job. Something happens, I make a mental note to write it down, and then I forget.
Anyway, I was over at my parent's house, and was reminded of something Kassi did, and my mom encouraged me to put it on here so I would remember. So here I am. It is 11:30pm, I should be asleep, and instead I am blogging. Oh, and just an FYI, when I am really tired I tend to go off on tangents, so I'll try to stay on the subject.

For Mother's Day, my little sister Laura got some kids together to sing in her single's ward. They sang the song, "Mother, I love you." Kassi has been singing that song ever since. Well, a couple weeks ago, Kassi was being naughty so I put her in time out. As she was standing in the corner of our kitchen,(I had left the room) I started to hear,"Mother I love you. Mother I do." (and keep in mind this is a half crying, half singing voice.) I started laughing quietly to myself in the other room. When I didn't respond to her, I once again heard,"Mother I love you. MOTHER I DO!" She kept singing that over and over and over again. Getting louder each time. After a couple minutes of laughing so hard, I had to regain my composure so when I walked back in the kitchen she knew I meant business. She was still in time out after all for being naughty, and just cause she was making me laugh I wasn't going to excuse what she had done. As I walk into the kitchen she turned around, and began singing again. "Mother I love you. Mother I do-oo. Father in Heaven(pointing up to the sky)has sent me to you-oo.(pointing very dramatically at me.) That was it. I totally lost it. It amazes me how dramatic she can be. Oh, and when Brad puts her in time out, she changed the words to "Daddy I love you." I think she is taking after her mom in the drama department.
