Daily Dose of Us, July 2007

Well, I thought I should put a story or thought of the day each day, we'll see how long this lasts!

July 12: Coeur D'Alene is Beautiful! We went there yesterday, and WOW!
July 13: Oh how I LOVE Friday the 13th-seriously I do!! Always have-here's a thought, for those that don't know, my 13th birthday was on Friday the 13th! Awesome!
July 14: Happy babies are cute, but can be as loud as sad babies when at the movies...just a warning!! :)
July 15: Armour is a happy little guy, happier as he gets older! He is getting such a fun, happy personality and I a so happy about it-what a great kid!!'
July 16: I will just steal Wes's favorite quote of late. "People say money can't buy happiness, but it CAN buy you a Wave Runner, and I defy you to frown on a Wave Runner!" (we heard a comedian on Comedy Central say this...)
July 17th: Keeping my kids happy and active just takes one thing: sprinklers!
July 18th: Happy Birthday Dad!! Happy Birthday Anne!! And I should probably throw in Happy Birthday Gavin! Carly and Jimmy brought us to a Cafe Rio knock off place in Coeur D'Alene called Cafe Chulo. SOOOO good...
July 19: Happy Birthday Tyson!! Here's a thought-be careful what you wish for, you never know what you'll get...I told Wes I needed a caling and some responsibility in this ward-I still have no calling from the bishopric, but I got a visiting teaching calling today, and it will be a hard route!
July 20: Here's Wesley's thought of the day: "I am done with anesthesia today." He also mentioned that the year is already cruising by and he hopes Cardio will be ok (that is what he starts Monday). I would also like to note that this is pretty much exactly like 3 & 4 years of med school except Wes gets paid (and has a bit more responsibility...) It's awesome to get paid instead of paying to do it!
July 21: Learning to ride bikes is hard and frustrating, but teaching someone to ride a bike is hard, frustrating, and so cute when they start to get it!!
July 22: At church today, Solace made little puppets of our family-but she actually only finished the one of Armour. At home, Ender was trying to take the Armour toy away from her, and she yelled at him, "Ender, that is MY Armour, and I need to keep it nice! I made it so when Armour gets married and moves out, I can look at that and smile and I won't miss Armour so much, so GIVE IT BACK." Just thought it was funny.
July 23: Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain. ~J.K. Rowling, "Dobby's Reward," Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, 1999, spoken by the character Arthur Weasley
July 24: Nothing like a nighttime stroll to give you ideas. ~J.K. Rowling, "The Egg and The Eye," Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2000, spoken by the character Mad-Eye Moody
July 25: Well, I am watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and thought I would just put the quote from it I just heard that made me laugh and laugh:
Maria Portokalos: Toula, on my wedding night, my mother, she said to me, "Greek women, we may be lambs in the kitchen, but we are tigers in the bedroom."
Toula Portokalos: Eww. Please let that be the end of your speech.
July 26: Happy Birthday Armour!!! Time really does fly...
July 27: I swam in a lake today...seriously. Armour loved it and is going to be a swimmer just like his siblings, I think.
July 28: Ah...Saturdays! How I love them! I sortof think it is funny that we celebrated pioneer day as a stake today here in Spokane, but we did and it was fun...BTW, I love, love, LOVE watermelon. Why do I have to be reminded of that every year?!
July 29: Happy Birthday Stefanie!! Well, I feel I should write a Stefanie story as it is her birthday, but all my stories would be long and detailed, and HILARIOUS! So, I will just say this-Stef really is hilarious, just like she always tells me! :)
July 30: Here's a thought-don't fall down the stairs!
July 31: Napoleon Dynamite: Can you bring me my chapstick?
Kip: No, Napoleon.
Napoleon Dynamite: But my lips hurt real bad!
Ever feel like Napoleon?! I do ALL the time since I moved here to the land of little humidity...man it will be nice for my skin to return to Omaha. Although my hair is really doing well here... :)
