Super lots of fun at the Corn Maze!! After discovering the video feature of my little digital camera and in the spirit of Halloween, we decided to dramatize and otherwise boring, winding, exasperating corn maze of which we were showing no signs of getting out of!! It will not surprise anyone that we did several takes and most of the background noise is us cracking up even though we're supposed to be very scared a la Blair Witch Project. Look closely at Regan in the back...this is an Academy Awared Winning moment for him...
Which way should we go?? We're never gettin outta here!
Maddi was nominated for Homecoming Queen this year at Deer Valley High School. Her two best friends Jacqueline and Shawna were also nominated...her date Adam Zook was nominated & won for Senior Attendant and her partner on the committee, Alex, was nominated for King, and Jacqo's boyfriend of 3 yrs won King and Maddi's prom date last year, Jake, nominated for King and her good friend Anna for attendant and so on and so on. Maddi and her friends dominated the royalty! One funny thing that I forgot to get a picture of was the hot pink paint she spilled on her feet decorating the field. It was permanent. She had beautiful, hot pink shadowing on her feet for the dance the next night. GO Maddi!!
Jarom had a school dance recently and they were supposed to dress up, he said the word "techno" and I was thinking he meant "retro" but I guess we'll never know how they were supposed to dress up. Jarom's friend at school, Taylor, has a very nice mom who offered to take them to Savers before the dance to get tacky suits. I picked him up AFTER the dance...anxious to see how he did with $10 at a thrift shop. Much to my surprise...
Pimp? Are you kidding me?
So all my "counseling" about matching and trips back to the room to "try again" really paid off huh? Don't you appreciate his use of purple mixed with a pattern, offset with the leopard print band on the fuzzy purple hat? I never dreamt it would be put together so well. Impressive. All under $10 at Savers!!
Now onto his Pirate Pants... His pajama pants were waaay too long, Regan told him to go cut them. I squirmed but let him go do it...
After a few wash and wears...he had a nice, sexy slit going on up the back leg
So, after I got a couple memorable pics...to remind me that quite OBVIOUSLY I still have to "approve" what he's wearing and that I should teach him how to cut in a straight line...we've all voted that Jarom needs to get rid of his sexy pirate pants. Aaargh!
Ok...here's a video of Maddi WINNING by about 2/3 of the pool length this week and she had a headache and felt nauseated awwwww. The swimmer that came in 2nd is in the lane next to her on the right. She was no where near her. Maddi kicks it...I believe she can FLY!! So SORRY you have to turn your head...didn't know you couldn't rotate.
So, she did it again. Courtney had a whopper of a story for me as usual...something fantastic, surprising, alarming, disturbing or shocking is ALWAYS happening to her.
She has been pretty sick lately with an undetermined stomach issue. She is probably gonna be eating for the rest of her life like our little niece Stephanie...nothing fun, no bread blah blah blah. Also, she was just called to her RS presidency in her ward as the secretary, this last weekend of the RS broadcast there was a stake retreat at someone's cabin up in Payson. She had to work Saturday so had to leave early in the morning; had a rough night up there...you know, nausea etc. etc. So, she's driving out of Payson at like 6 am and apparently makes a left turn a little too late for the police officerSSSS (not just one, but 2 cars--like they called for back up or something). She says she was in the turn lane, it did turn yellow but she was like out there so she made the turn and got pulled over. So they're grilling her, asking her why she is in a hurry, why so early and all that. She is trying to explain she has to get to work down in Phoenix by 8am and feels very sick. They keep talking... she LOSES it...opens the door, pushes them out of the way and BARFS in the street. YESSSS barfed right there on command. What do you think they think?????? 19 yr old, early Saturday morning?? Hang over. AMAZING!!! She is telling them seriously officer, I've been really sick and I DO NOT DRINK. They say, they hear that ALL THE TIME!! So, they make her take the sobriety test complete with straight line walking and finger to the nose and a breathalizer test. Of course, our little angel on a retreat for Relief Society haha passes with flying colors. They let her go, apologize, and do not give her a ticket for the shady left turn issue. Yep...only Courtney :)
