You have all heard this time and time again "don't run with a sucker in your mouth or mess around when you are brushing your teeth" but yet, you still do it and what happens? NOTHING! As kids, I think that most of us are immune to the bad stuff that your parents say will happen, but as adults.......I think that it is a different story. Everything thing that I was told not to do growing up I did and nothing ever happend. So, as an adult I do the same things and the bad happens. It's crazy how that works out.

About a week ago I was getting ready for bed as I usually do, brushing my teeth and tormenting Jon cause he takes FOREVER. I don't really know how we got into the situation we were in but, Jon kept poking me and waving his hand all around while I was brushing my teeth. After a while I told him to be careful cause I had my toothbrush in my mouth and didn't want him to shove it down my throat. Not even 30 seconds after I said that what does he do? Flings his arms in the air and hits my toothbrush, making it go down my throat. Toothpaste and blood went everywhere and Jon starts freaking out which starts making me freak out. It wasn't that bad a first and i brushed it aside. About a half hour later though it was all swollen and red. I couldn't talk, swallow and was just plain uncomfortable:(

Here we are almost a week later and it still isn't better. I have been living off Popsicles, Smoothie King, and slushies. The cold numbs it so I can have some relief for a little bit at least. I thought I was starting to feel better so I tried to eat a piece of pizza but I think I scratched my throat. So, I will now be patient and hope that it heals sooner than later.

There you have it, and next time someone tells you not to play with objects in your mouth maybe they really do now what they are talking about.

Leaves, Leaves and more Leaves

Last Saturday Jon and I went to Bear Lake with my mom and dad to help them rake leaves and get everything ready for winter. This is one working task that I actually don’t mind doing because I get to play while I am doing it. Jon and I did one half of the yard and put all our leaves into one BIG pile so that it was soft enough for all our sweet tricks. The pictures don’t do it justice but it was pretty big. In all, with raking the whole lawn we filled 21 large leaf bags. One day I really want to rake them all into one HUGE pile under the tree and jump out of the tree into the pile. Wouldn’t that be so fun?


Jon actually working get a good look cause it doesnt happen too often!

Just playing in the leaves


My dad thought that it would get done faster if he used 2 rakes.

Clippers vs. Toilet

You know when you remember that you have to do something and if you don’t do it right away something else comes up and you don’t do whatever it is you needed to do? Well, for over a week I have been needing to cut my toenails (I know that may be too much info but it is what makes the story) and every night I forget to do it. The other night Jon and I were watching a movie and I suddenly remembered that I needed to this. While it was still on my mind I ran up stairs and grabbed the clippers, but after I did I really needed to go to the bathroom and those of you who really know me know that I can’t wait (when I gotta go I gotta go). I didn’t want to put the clippers down cause then I would forget what I went upstairs to do, so I opted to hold the clippers while I peed. (I think by now most of you know where this story is going) When I turned around to flush the toilet I somehow forgot that I was holding the clippers and next thing I know I hear the big “CLANK”. Yep, I dropped the clippers in the toilet. It was so GROSS but so FUNNY at the same time. I screamed for Jon to come upstairs and when he saw what I had done both of us were rolling on the ground laughing. After I realized that I needed to get them out it wasn’t so funny, there was NO way that I was going to stick my hand in the toilet. This is how I finally decided to get them out…….Don’t worry whoever comes to our house for a BBQ, I made sure that the tongs were cleaned very good.
