I am officially addicted to this. I have tried to keep a journal for the past - well forever. But I have the hardest time writing in a book. Now I can type something up - add pictures (and Videos I hope) and Boom. I have a journal and a personal history. I LOVE THIS. I am not really sure where I am going to go with this BLOG – I want to do a huge give away of Product for Scrapbook Jokes and then have challenges and who knows what else? But for now, it is going to be my place to record memories and share experiences.
Tonight I picked the kids up and we ran some errands. (back to Rusty Pickle to pick up a package and letters and drop them off at UPS and then USPS). I checked out the movies for the three of us to go see but nothing peeked “MY” interest so we went home to make cookies and watch Hanna Montana. I LOVE Hanna Montana. And Billy Ray is SO COOL.
I had A GREAT night. We had so much fun with the three of us. We were all actually supposed to all go to California Yesterday and then See Toby Keith tonight but I am just Tired and flying all of us home to catch the BYU Football home opener would have been really tough. So we dropped Tasha off at the airport yesterday so she could go to the concert with her brother Eric (The really skinny kit that works for us at the Scrapbook shows) and her mom. She called a little bit ago and had a great time. I was working on new jokes. I love jokes that build on each other. I search the internet for kids jokes and then when I find some that can go together I save them in a file next to each other. For now I am into Cow, Elephant, Fish, PICKLE and Scrapbook Jokes. I got a bunch of new – really dumb elephant jokes and a couple that I can make into Scrapbook Jokes. This is my newest string of Jokes:
What is black and white and green and black and white?
Two zebras fighting over a pickle
How do you tell the difference between the male and female Zebras?
The males have black and white stripes and the females have white and black stripes.
Do you know why it's so hard to eat zebra?
You keep getting white meat - dark meat - white meat - dark meat.
Whats the first Law of the Jungle:
Don't be a zebra.
Back to my night. I had a blast hanging out with Mason and Audrey. We made a huge mess in the kitchen and then we watched “8 Below” downstairs on the big screen with Capri Suns and Pop Corn. It was so fun just hanging out with my two kids one on each arm with all of us in the monster big been bag. We kind of stayed up way too late and they both fell asleep in my arms before the movie ended. It would have been a perfect night if Tash were here but I am glad she got to have a fun little break. All in all, I had a great time just staying home.
Swimming and POO Problems
Two nights ago we made invitations for Audreys Birthday Party and yesterday we sent them out. She is turning 5 and in love with High School Musical. “she is Sharpay” (I will have to post the invitations because they really are supper cute). We have had a swim and picnic party every year for Audreys Birthdays. This year both kids are in preschool so Audrey wanted to also invite some of her friends from school. Well one of the moms called me this morning and asked what we were going to do about the pool party. I was like ...” Ugh – what do you mean”. She informed me of County health issue. I guess we have a problem in Utah with “poo in pools”
That reminds me of a joke. Why does tiger always smell. Because he is always playing with Poo.
Seriously, No kids under the age of 5 are allowed in public pools for now. There is an outbreak of Cryptosporidios.
Crypto for short. This is scary stuff. It just makes me think about entering a pool in the future. (You can read more about it here). So I guess we are going to have a party for Audrey Without the pool (and poo). What time is it? – its party time.
Funny Scrapbook moment
I woke up today to my 2 year old Mason using my Fiscars Cutter this morning. I had left it and extra paper out from making the invitations for Audreys invitations. What amazed me is that he knew how to use it. He lifted up both the clear part and the blade – placed the paper in and then put each one down separately. Then he Pulled the blade across with a BIG GRIN as he cut the paper. That’s my boy. Or as I say Real MEN SCRAP.
lance, what a wonderful night!!! i am sure that it will be one of those fond memories the kids will say..."remember when...". thanks for sharing your adventures with us and your personal ones too. ps. hope you took some pictures! connie~az

Lance,
This is the first time I've caught your blog. I have to say, I'm impressed. I just love it when men aren't afraid to say that they scrap! Isn't it fun when our little ones catch the "bug"? My son loves to use the paper trimmer too, but is much more fond of my old fancy edged scissors and my Bazzill Bling...ugh! Oh well...I will not discourage a future Male scrapper!
Thanks for keeping this blog. I can't wait to read more!
