There is a woman from Africa in our ward who sports a lovely English accent, so naturally she says "Ah-men" instead of the American version of "AA-men" tonight at dinner Kirsten said: "you know what creeps me out? How that lady says Ah-men. it just creeps me out!"
A few weeks ago while doing her hair for school she said to me: "ummm at the second coming when we get to see mom Michelle again. . . you're going to have to sleep in the guest bedroom."
She reminds us every day that she is "popular". When you ask her why she does anything she responds with "cuz I'm popular!"
And last of all, Jim asked the girls how church was. Kirsten looked at Jim and simply said: "I found it to be quite boring."
Man I love that kid!

All by myself!!!
She insisted on getting herself dressed this morning
And even after picking out a suitable outfit for the day
She said "Go Mom!" so she could dress herself
Needless to say- - - this was NOT the outfit we had agreed on earlier
Something tells me this isn't going to be a one time thing!

no candy at church
As Kirsten was getting her scripture bag ready for church today, Jim told her that she was not allowed to bring any candy to church.
After the Sacrament had been passed and the speakers announced, Kirsten got into her bag and pulled out. . . a Slim Jim. She had packed three.

Best $3 I ever spent!
(This post is well over due but I would be remiss if I didn't make mention of the Halloween Head of '09)
Back in October while hunting for Halloween costumes at the DI with the kiddies and my sister Kristy, we happened upon what could quite possibly be the greatest find of our lives. We all stared in shock and then giggled. We knew we had to have it. My sister and I each purchased one and good times were had. There were many a scares throughout the month of October and after finding it tucked under the covers on his side of the bed one night Jim said "What are we going to do with a head?" my response:" Umm don't you mean what aren't we going to do with a head?!"

Hero
This was in my email "In box" This morning:
My hero is a lady who I would go to for anything besides you, Mom. Her name is Tammy Hall. She has three qualities that I like most about her. The three qualities of a hero. They are neighborly, funny, and a role model. Neighborly. Tammy Hall is so neighborly. She goes walking with my mom some mornings. We play with her kids so many times. She busted part of the fence out that was dividing our back yards. Sometimes when my Mom needs some ingredients when she's cooking, if she doesn't have them we'll ask the Halls. She is my favorite neighbor.
Funny. Tammy Hall is so fun to be around and talk to because she is funny. We have had some good laughs. She creates memories because she is funny. She is someone that anybody would want to meet. That is why I think she is funny.
Role model. She taught seminary. She is kind and loving. Anna and Kirsten's mother died, and Tammy Hall married their dad. She is the perfect one for them. She is my role model.
Neighborly, funny, and a role model are my favorite qualities of Tammy hall. I love these qualities of her. These are what I think are qualities of a hero.
AND after forwarding it to Jim...THIS was also in my email "In box" this morning:

Oh how I love that Gracie Weaver! She is clearly a BRILLIANT child reared by INCREDIBLE parents!
And so what if it ends up in a frame hanging in our living room or bedroom or made into book marks and handed out as gifts to friends and neighbors or maybe just maybe it gets turned into our family Christmas card. Look, Gracie never cited me for being humble...I mean it's not like it makes me any less of a hero right? :) I love you little Gracie- you made my day/week/year!

Well, I see two problems with this. One, I am never going to hear the end of this. It would not surprise me if I find this essay, blown up, framed and hanging on the wall in the living room of my house. Second. I BUSTED PART OF THE FENCE OUT, that was me and if I remember correctly I may have even scraped myself doing it. Seriously though, this is hilarious.
