Funny blog

Over Heard In The Ward super funny blog were people write in the funny things they heard at church - if your looking for a quick laugh check it out. Here's an example:

Bishop: Can you change the Ashton's last name on their records to Axton with an 'x' instead of an 'sh'?
Clerk: Sure... Why?
Bishop: Sister Ashton is changing her name name legally to Axton... She thinks that everyone keeps calling her ass ton.

Tell That to the Sixties

Teacher: Nothing good ever came from drugs.
Man on back row whispers: What about Bob Marley?

Lagoon

I took Ashton to Lagoon yesterday...we had so much fun. He was so brave. He went on all the bigger- little kid rides and even Tidal Wave the big viking ship. I could tell he was nervous on a few but all he said was that it made his tummy tickle.

The Measure of Our Civility.

catenzaros: The Measure of Our Civility.

My friend blogged about the Oprah show on Wednesday - which I also saw and it made me reflect on my own behavior. I would add to her post that Dr. P.M. Forni said "We are all the trustees of one another's happiness and well being." It made me really think about the times I have ruined someone else's day by being unintentionally rude. By not thinking about how my actions or words would affect the other person. Even my own kids in trying to get things done my way. It's something I want to be more aware of.

Update on Colten & Scrapbook Pages

So Aaron sat in the doctor's office for a hour and a half before seeing the dr. for 4 min. yesterday (he was not happy). The Dr. said that Colten's head is flat but that we should wait till 7 months to see if it resolves itself - if not then he'll prescribe a helmet. Wahoo I'm so glad we have more time. Aaron said that the other kids in the waiting room had really bad heads and Colten's looked really good in comparison - so there is hope.

Some of you have asked about the scrapbook pages I do - I use a free site called scrapblog.com. It's AWESOME! I can design my own or use pre-designed pages with access to all their elements. Check it out!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Day Farms' hay ride and pumpkin patch today. It was so fun to see how much Ashton has grown. He's more concerned with his friends than his mom now - a little sad for me! I asked him why he put his hat sideways (as shown in the picture), he said cause "I'm cool like that." Where does he get this stuff?

Seriously So Blessed

So my sister introduced me to this blog which is hilarious, especially if you love to see the irony in Utah Mormon culture (don't worry not the church or beliefs). Here's a sample:
