My favorite gift.

So I have spent the last few months like the rest of you preparing for a day that seems to be over in minutes. I had a great Christmas. After weeks of being teased by porter and drey that my gift had a pink purse and was a girl barbie. I can't believe they kept a secret. Jake always pulls off a good surprise for Christmas and this year he did it again. He called T a friend that I played ball with, that always laughs that I play with a glove that I had in high school. I really have only been graduated 5 years my reunion should be coming (JK). The last time I got a new glove the glove I have now was sitting on my bed and the old glove with the tape around the band holding it together was no where to be found. But the one that I have now is flatter then the taco I had a taco time last night. So Jake and T headed to good old MVP and hooked me up with a peach. Nana gave us food storage that if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have a can. But I have to admit my favorite gift was the cheapest and probably the hardest to make. It came home from school in a back pack and every time I would tease and pretend to open it. I got my hand slapped because the teacher said porter could slap it. But on Christmas morning it was a calendar with each month a hand print of Porters decorated like on object for the month. My favorite is October it is a black spider. I love it. I looked back in the scrapbook at his birth certificate. Was he ever that small. That hand print was half the size of the one on the calendar. WOW time flies and it is precious isn't it. Take some time to hug the ones you love this time of year, because you never know...

Happy New Year

In My Next Life???

I recently received this email from a friend and thought that really it wouldn't be to bad. Unless Jake drew out and is hunting you. I even attached another picture of jakes bear for this post( I think it may be the one living in my family room right now). THe bear has found a use: The boys will play for hours with their cars like it is the mountians, and they are hunting the animals that they have set up all over. But here is the email.

Gonna Be a Bear:

In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.

When you're a girl bear, you birth your children ( who are the size of walnuts) while you are sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I would miss the baby part but walnuts vs. a watermelon. I am all right with that.

If you're the mama bear everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line you swat them too.

If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you have HAIRY legs and EXCESS body fat.

YUP, I'm gonna be a bear...

Body's and vampires what a day

So I wend to the Bodyworks 3 exhibit at the Library in Salt Lake. A friend of mine from school asked me if I would go as a chaperon. I thought about it for a while since I have a little issue with blood and body parts.. I registered for anatomy in college 3 times and never made it out of the first day before changing. But to get the PE major you had to take it. So last term of my college career I took the class. Luckily a friend from the football team who happened to be the Center and weighing well over 300 pounds was in the class. He told me he would help me out stand behind in case I went over when the opened the cadaver up. But when they opened it up the smell was horrible, and we heard a huge thump. Don't worry it was him who passed out not me... But I struggle with that stuff so I debated if I wanted to go or not. But I did and it was amazing. If you get a second to go take some time and go. They have really bodies posed in sports positions so you can see what muscles are being used during that activity. At the end they had an obese person cross section. OH My I ordered a salad for lunch and went to walmart for slim fast.. Just kidding about the slim fast.
Then it was off to the midnight showing of the movie. It was all right. If you want to see it and don't have tickets. Wait I sat in a movie theater with a bunch of giggling girls and couldn't hear half of the show. Every time Edward would appear the oohs and ahhs. I wanted to stand and yell SHUT UP.... Good thing Jana, Jami and I had front row seats and were only there 1 hour early. But we had fun... The best part of the night was running in to a cousin from far away in the movie theater. So wait for 2 weeks and buy discount tickets and it will still be the same. But I give it 4 of 5 starts

The Phone call....

What a week with phone calls we have had with Drey. It started Saturday night at our sleepover at Nanas when the boys were in the closet hiding with her cell Phone calling everyone. Mom heard about it the next day at work. But Sunday was a real peach. HE called 911. Mom put on a real performance when out of coincidence I called about 2 minutes after the call. Mom played it up Oh Please Mr Policeman don't take me and my little grand boys to prison. I fell for it and the best part was Porter and Dreyton were in the background crying. They were pretty shook up by moms performance.

But this morning takes the cake. On my days off I always get a call from Drey that starts out "HI Jodi, what are you doing? Is Porter awake yet?" The answer is always no because Drey is an early bird and porter would sleep all day like his Aunt Jami. But today's call was HI Jodi, Guess where I am? I said at Walmart, No, In bed, NO. He then starts to tell me this story..

I woke up and my mom was still sleeping so I went to find Nana. I saw the ladder and climbed up on the roof. I scared Nana but now I am helping her with the Christmas lights...
