Expensive food.

It was awesome to see the Real SL soccer team beat up the top team in the league. #1 and #2 went for the nacho's and snow cones. Which are always more expensive than the tickets. What a racket. Fun anyway.

Heebie-jeebies

The children and I brought in some of the blooming roses from the rose garden David got me for mothers day a couple years ago this morning - (It's true, they are still growing like crazy!) - and placed a flower on the kitchen pass-through. A little while later, while chopping fruit to dehydrate, I grabbed the butcher knife and out came a huge spider!!! I can barely type it is still giving me the creeps. I screamed like a girl. Which caused the three children to follow suit. #3 was scared out of her wits. No joke, this thing was big. The Utah State Government thinks it is a giant wolf spider. (Keep in mind, the roses are not the tiny little ones you get at the store, these things are bigger than David's hand). It took me about 15 minutes to get enough composure to successfully capture it.

That's not the end of our story though. When David got home, he and I searched around the internet to find a picture that is close to what this beast looks like. Suddenly - his phone rang. He has it set to vibrate with the sound. We both jumped out of our chairs and he started slapping the front pocket where his phone was as I did the little-girl-jump-up-and-down-while-running-in-place dance. He finally threw the phone out of his pocket and we stared at it ringing on the table next to the jar where the spider was trapped.

Unfortunately for the home invader - it was time for an end to the beast's life. David figured it was cruel to let it suffocate, so he started shaking the jar hoping to knock it into the spirit world. The cap came off. Everyone screamed and we had to trap him again. So now he gets a slow death.

Above is his picture in a big ol'jar. I haven't been able to do anything in peace all day with the Heebie-jeebies he gave me.

Father's Day

David got a massage for father's day, and a tie. In the ward it was kinda funny to compare what I got for mother's day, and what he got today. We got all-you-could eat gourmet cheesecake (the type you pay $7 for at a restaurant) along with Piroulene cookies. The men took our callings and we enjoyed an activity in relief society. The brethren got a twenty-five cent snickers bar and a Sacrament meeting of a couple of talks praising mothers and motherhood. Then they did their callings. I don't think he's that bitter... Better make him some cookies.

Claw + Crab =

We had crab yesterday for an early father's day celebration, and #1 watched intently as David broke apart the legs. She was not interested in having any herself. David offered, and she replied, "I don't want any of the pinch-sters". Claw + lobster (that's really crab) = pinch-ster. While on the other side of the table #3 ate about a quarter pound of the crab-alfredo-linguini. Yum!

"Look! I have a really, really big skin here!"

"Actually #2, that's an ankle bone. It's a nice discovery, but you need to go back to bed."

Last Spring Game

It never ceases to amaze me the number of slimy cars salesmen that assume you are ignorant. Imbeciles.

#1 finally made contact a few times with the ball in a decently appropriate fashion in the final game of the season. We ended up 7-1, and had quite a good time.

Reem's

Melissa visited with family in Idaho this weekend and brought gifts from afar. Reem's gourmet chocolate milk. Ingredients? Milk, Cream, Dutch Chocolate, potato flakes, and a little slice of heaven. 30% of your saturated fat for a day in one cup serving - but it's summer, so biking to work justifies 1/2 a gallon. Plus, the spirit world is a better place.
