WHAT THE... I ran to WalMart and by my work this morning and on my way home I looked in my rear view mirror and saw... what the.....!

So I grabbed my camera (you should always have a camera handy just in case) and caught a couple videos for anyone who is wondering "huh...I wonder what it's like to be Jen?!" and yes that is my "oh my gosh I can't believe there are clowns driving by me right now"...laugh

MARVELOUS MARV

Marvelous Marv is our landlord and he is a great old man. He reminds us constantly that our townhouse that we rent from him is his and his wife's retirement money so of course we take extra good care of it. He is so marvelous because usually every Friday morning at 8am he comes over to mow the lawn! This week he must have been busy on Friday cause he came over Saturday morning at 7AM to mow! YOU RULE Marvelous Marv! Thanks for all you do! We do have a beautiful lawn!

LITTLE LEAGUE!
My nephew Michael is 11 and played his first season of little league this year. The tournament started this week and they won their first game wednesday and then lost last night

Michael struck out with three pitches that doesn't happen in little league! and the umpire sucked, he was 16.

Michael was a little bummed...

but he rehydrated and got over it...

Michael's best bud and neighbor Austin was up and got a great hit! GO AUSTIN!

Michael cheering Austin on!

The last batter was up and they had 2 outs. I saw Michael on the bench like this and asked him if he was nervous and he just nodded...

He kept peeking through the holes in his mit to watch the last batter.

TJ struck out too and we lost. The boys are so funny listen to their dugout talk. I love the coach too, he's way too optimistic and encouraging for me! :)

MISS MYA TRICKS

Julie and I like to keep Mya entertained at Michael's baseball games Mya is so smart here is what we have been teaching her

Julie of course is teaching her to talk on her phone constantly and listen to good music. Mya has learned the Mya Wiggle dance all on her own

I have taught her "puppy" which is sometimes used when appropriate but usually everything is a "puppy".

I have taught her to blow kisses, every time she leaves the office she says goodbye so we have been working on kisses.

Jamaica is teaching her where her belly button is!

Jamaica has of course taught her "Patty Cake" and "This Little Piggy"

The crowd has taught her how to scream for Michael's little league baseball team! Go Angels!

The house that Daniel....put some electricity into... My brother-in-law has been working on the electricity for his boss's son's house. It's huge. He has a Ferrari garage that matches his HOT yellow Ferrari. It of course has a mother-in-law apartment that is connected by a bridge!

This is the grand entrance of the house with staircases going up each side. It's built like a castle with dark dark wood and rock. Reminds me of Harry Potter sorta of. He has a fire pole nook that goes from his wife's sewing wing down to his office :)

Hard to imagine with the dry wall but this is their two story library.


This is one of the guest room bathroom.

All the bathrooms had really cool tile.

The bathroom floor tile had rainbow tile!

This is their dining HALL!

Upstairs kitchen ette - the kitchens in the house sucked. BUT they did have an indoor trampoline that goes between two levels, a slide that goes from the 1st level to the basement (it's like a cave slide that goes through all the walls and stuff), a climbing wall, theater room in the basement with built in bomb shelter/food storage room that all has a sealed door and everything. I am thinking about telling him that I could just live in their bomb shelter (it has a kitchen, bathroom, bunks) and prepare all their food storage!

The kids tree house...another living option for me...

Oh and don't forget the helicopter pad in the big area off to the left of the tree house...

These metal pipes are water pipes to form a waterfall coming down from the house down to the pool area...

This is the pool "area" it is going to be made into falls that run down to the actual pool somewhere over to the left of the picture.

The pictures don't do it justice but it took us almost an hour and a half just to walk through the house.

THANKS FOR THE TOUR DANIEL IT WAS AWESOME!!...OH AND GOOD JOB ON THE ELECTRICAL STUFF!!!

yep i'm still here...it has been a really crazy month for me... it started with a week in april after my birthday that i taught relief society two weeks in a row then taught fhe monday and our enrichment wednesday. then that weekend i had my 15 hours of pre-licensing class training to teach life insurance agents after a 45 hour work week. i think i caught an ear infection from miss mya and i have allergies from hades that has turned to a head cold. it's 100 degrees here already and i started my period for the first time in 5 years. all fun and games here. this weekend I had m & h sleep over since colls and jules were gone. we ate at "marvs" and played mall madness, kings corners and watched "transformers" and "lady and the tramp" - they each got to pick one. in the morning we ate at "village inn" and went and hung out at "barnes and noble". on memorial day i watched jamaica's kids for them as it was their anniversary and they went to zion's to hike keyhole. we had a ton of fun cleaning their house and then going to the water park. i squeezed a shower in and the kids were back for pizza while j & d went to dinner. i did get some me time with my buddies warren, bart, kara, keena, etc at "angels and demons" that night. tom hanks really does work for satan. monday was followed by tuesday which was michael's 11th birthday. we went to "night at the museum 2" which I think I saw most of it between keeping an eye on mya who kept screaming "puppy" at ever quiet part of the movie - it's the only word she knows. we had pizza and opened presents and sang the song.

sent them to the opening roadrunner baseball game. i went home and passed out and haven't done a darn thing since. michael's little league team plays in the semi-finals of their championship tournament tonight so i'm sure that will have a story or two to tell. go michael #8. other than that...i'm just hanging in there.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM!
