well this afternoon i thought i would try jackson in underpants and see what happened. well, nothing really happened but i had the funniest conversation with him while he was sitting on the potty.
jack – mom, why do i have a man peeper?
me – because you are a boy.
jack – why doesn’t it talk to me?
me – peepers can’t talk.
jack – does my peeper have a mouth?
me – pointing to his big toe, “does your toe have a mouth?”
jack – i know my peeper doesn’t have a mouth.
me – how come?
jack – my peeper doesn’t have a mouth because my peeper is just a peeper!
i know that we aren’t using correct terminology in our home but when i tried, it never seemed to stick.

…”it looks like you have throat ulcers.”
not the most exciting think you can hear from the doctor. let me fill you in on the back story. a few days ago i came down with a fever of about 103 which persisted for a couple of days. then that broke, and my throat started to feel sore (that was last night). well, all night i slept like crap because every time i would swallow, it woke me up. so, at around noon today i decided to go to the doctor and that’s when he told me i have throat ulcers.
“what causes that?”, i inquired.
“it’s either viral, or it’s an infection,” he told me.
i love when they give you options. i wasn’t sure if he was wanting me to guess, like some sort of game, or if it was like a choose your own adventure book where i got to pick what caused it. as it turns out, it was neither of those things, he just didn’t know. so he gave me some antibiotics in case it’s an infection, and if it’s viral it just has to run it’s course. they took a throat culture (there’s nothing cultured about a stranger shoving a 6″ long q-tip down your throat) and i should know “in a while” whether or not it’s an infection. he also gave me some hydrocodone for the pain. i just dropped a couple of those and i have to tell you that i’m living pretty large at the moment. i can’t even believe that i’m able to type coherently right now. maybe i should go driving to really test my limits…

well much to kim’s amazement, i have started mowing our lawn. steven has to work so much and it seems like it always rains on saturday so it is hard for him to do. well i finally had enough of looking like the white trash neighboor and got the mower out and mowed. to my surprise, it wasn’t very hard to figure out. my mom was over watching the kids so i had time by myself and it was almost peaceful. for those of you out there thinking you couldn’t do this, you can.
we received a nephi state for a wedding present 7 years ago. this was obviously a random gift but we thought it was funny and have kept him this whole time. we have moved 10 times in the last 7 years and he has been in the front window of every home we have lived in. i think it is crazy that he hasn’t ever been lost. he always shows up on the top of a box somewhere.
well the other day i went into the downstairs bathroom and this is what i saw in the window. i wasn’t surprised to see it there because it is always there but i have never seen it backlit from the sun this way. i just think it is funny, i feel protected from this little guy.
here he is how our visitors see him. thank you nephi!
ok, last story. well steven came home from work early (at 4, not very early for most) sick yesterday. in all of the time that we have been married i don’t think he has ever missed a day because he was sick. well he had a fever of 103 and i just took the kids downstairs and let him sleep. well after i gave the kids a bath and put them to bed, he decided to get up and get some food. well i told him that i was going to sleep on the couch because i didn’t want to get sick. at like 2 in the morning after tossing and turning i decided to go to my bed anyway. when i got to me bed, he was in my spot. when i came into the room he woke up and moved over for me. i layed down and started to smell the worst smell. i looked over at the side table to find left over salsa and a bag of empty barbeque chips. if you can imagine, it didn’t smell so good. well i got up and moved the offending smells and then layed down. in the morning when i got up i found that i had been laying on smashed brownie as well. the moral of the story, don’t let your husband eat in your bed and if you do, make sure he stays on his side.

so, i’ve taken upon myself a rather large project. i’m taking the original tracks to the arrogants‘, “you’ve always known when best to say goodbye”, and remixing them. this is made an even larger project by the fact that i’m pretty inexperienced whn it comes to remixes. so, with out further adieu, here are my first 2 attempts (which i’m actually pretty pleased with).

so, let me let you in on my situation. i’m a mac user and for mac users the main web browsers are safari and firefox. yeah, there’s opera and flock and this and that, blah, blah, blah. well, i’ve been a safari user for sometime now. firefox is great and all, but safari is just sooooo good looking. being a follower of the bauhas “form before function” school of design, i was drawn to safari. now, it’s a great browser and all, but there’s just so much that you can do with firefox. i was torn. well, as good as firefox was, it was just too ugly to pull me in. that’s all changed with the release of firefox 3 today. i was reading about some of the new features and they actually seemed pretty cool. there were some new features that i thought i wanted to try out, so i installed it. turns out that they gave it a total facelift. it really looks a lot more like safari while still retaining some of it’s individuality. take a look.
this is my pretty safari.
and the new firefox 3.
as you can see, they now look much more alike. i think i can live with the new look of firefox, and i’m really excited to test out some of it’s new features. gve it shot if you haven’t already. I’m loving it so far.

i had such an amazing time while kimmie came to visit. it was just like old times only now there were three little children to attack kim while she was here. lily, jack and ash loved her. they thought she was the greatest person ever. lily cried when she realized that kim was leaving on saturday. it has been over three years since we have seen each other but it seemed like no time at all when she was here. my mom watched my kids one day and we made our way into the city. these are some of the pictures i took. kim has some really good ones in her camera of her and my children so i will have to get them and then add to this post. well we miss you already kimmie and thanks again for coming. i would also like to thank seth for letting kim leave him and the kids for a couple of days to visit us. love you kim!
