Limerick contest

My department had a limerick contest over the weekend and 5 of the 6 top voted for limericks went to my boss. My limerick was triaged. I'm curious as to what all of you can do.

Here is a new go at it: Lost Dogs

Help us, Help us, we've been lost in
Houston, Texas and now Austin!
The air gets so fizzy
it must make us dizzy
chasing our tails like a dachshund.

Try 2: Ode to allergies

Cedars and oaks, they give a lot;
They give a lot of awful snot!
Phlegm out the ears,
nostrils, and tears;
A yellow-green dog flavoured rot!

Idol Talk.

I haven't kept up very faithfully with this season of American Idol but I have my favorites.

Don't hate me, but I really like little David Archuleta. Here's one of his best performances.

And this latest performance knocked everyone out of the water. http://www.americanidol.com/videos/?vid=1120&pcs=524

I also like David Cook. What really sold me on him was is rockin version of Billie Jean. http://www.americanidol.com/videos/?vid=1070&pcs=514

http://www.americanidol.com/videos/?vid=995&pcs=501 this is "Hello" in a new way too.

Jason Castro has impressed me more than once with his individuality and sweet voice. Check this out in case you missed it. http://www.americanidol.com/videos/?vid=1118&pcs=524

What do you think?

Yeah for Twilight!!

I'm sooooooooo excited because one of my favorite books is becoming a movie. One of the toughest things they had to do for twilight was find actors that resembled gorgeous Greek gods. THEY SCORED! Check out the pic of the Cullen family.

If you recognize Robert Pattinson in the front then your a Harry Potter fan too. Awesome as Cedric and he will rule as Edward. I'm so excited!!!!! I'm also soooo excited because my completely wonderful and totally cool friend Tara is getting me a ticket to meet Stephenie Meyer!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it works out. If you want to see more hot shots from the movie go to http://stepheniemeyer.com/ . These vampires are almost as gorgeous as my own. he he.

Well Wonders Never Cease!!!

There it is folks. Miracles never cease. It's a girl.

I'm not quite sure how I feel yet but I'm very happy and really freaked out.

As to other reactions, Kenneth basically said 'duh'. He already knew that he was getting a sister. Sam has changed his mind and said he wants a girl now. Evan is still trying to see this so-called baby in my tummy. Brent smiled happily during the ultrasound and took the doctor's warnings about having a girl with consideration and humor. I'm still in shock. I'm going to try to girlie up some things to see if it gets me ready for this. Love to all and thanks for voting. Most of you were right. It's nice to know so many smart people.

Camping

OH A CAMPING WE WILL GO!! This trip was soooo much fun. Even though we went camping at the busiest time of year, we got the best spot and it was peaceful. Well, as peaceful as it can be with six monkeys. We were very fortunate to have our wonderful friends join us. When those six boys get together, it's non stop action. Everyone needs to click on Tara's blog to see more too. She takes much better pics (I borrowed a few because my camera battery died) and she's more interesting anyway.

Around the campfire cookin' beans and eatin' s'mores. Tara is toasting coconut covered marshmallows that went awesome with Hershey's special dark for a gourmet s'more. Million dollar recipe right there!

The park is nothing but prickly pear catus and Spring Valley Gneiss (pronounced NICE) stone. It's very beautiful.

This was the first time we took all the boys fishing. (thanks to grandma for providing all the gear) They had so much fun and surprisingly had more patience then I expected.

This is the very FIRST fish that Brent has caught in his whole life. It was a sunfish, and he threw it back, not realizing he could keep it. Oh well.

After camping at one park we went to another state park with beautiful waterfalls all over the place. Nothing like water and rocks to bring out the best in boys too.


Swimming in the river

I am strong!

I am wet!

I'm too cool!

Our wonderful friends KC, Tara, Zach, Ben, and Alex.

I can't wait until we go again. I need to hurry before I get too big. Feel free to come and camp with us!

You Tell Me.

Okay, this morning I went to my 16 week check up and the Nurse Practitioner checked the sex of the baby. At first I was sure I saw a turtle (which means boy) but the nurse said she didn't. She poked around for 20 min, getting the whole thing on video, and decided I was having a girl. I didn't believe her, so she printed out about 5 pics of nothing between the legs. I still think the little booger is going to be a boy in the end but the NP said you can only be about 70% sure at this stage and she was 70% sure it's a girl. I'm placing a pic and a poll on my blog. You Tell ME!

Is that a GIRL?

Sam's b-day

I was very upset to find out our memory card is currupted, so I'm missing a lot of pics.

Here's some of Sam's b-day.

Happy 5th Birthday Sam!
