HOW TO GROW AN INCH IN LESS THAN A MINUTE

Poor Payton, his big brothers get to go on the really fast roller coasters. He gets so mad. Mom and Dad figured out a way for Payton to meet the height requirement. Shhhhhhhh. We have some old knock-off Heeley's and decided to bring them in the backpack to Disneyland. Then when we are approaching California Screamin, we hide in a corner and do the following steps.

Step one - Take off smelly shoe.

Step two - Fold sock into three parts.

Step three - Put sock into shoe.

Step four - Put on Heeleys and stand straight and tall. Now you can go on your rollercoaster!

I KNOW AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY...

As you all know, we live about five houses away from a dairy. This means we have a beautiful smelling aroma everyday, and we have millions of flies. One thing we hated about Ontario was the flies. Now we are torturing ourselves even more. April and October are the severe fly seasons. I've already spent $60 on poison. We're all going to die before the flies do. Please, please, please sell all the dairies. We won't miss you at all.

These beautiful creatures are the cause of all those flies!

This is what our floor looks like everyday...lots of dead flies!

ANNOYING PIGEONS

Whose idea was it to create pigeons??? They are the most annoying creatures ever. They always find a nice little spot in the eaves to build a nest. Then they coo all day long. I can hear them scratching and chirping. It's so annoying. Does anyone have a BB gun? On our front lawn are a bunch of dropped straw and twigs from the birds. My favorite part of course, is the poop everywhere! It's driving me crazy!

Point, Aim, and Shoot!

MAGICAL FLOWERS

A couple of months ago I was a slacker and didn't get around to the weeding. It had been almost a month. I went outside and discovered that all my weeds I had previously been pulling were flowers! I'm so blessed. When we first landscaped the backyard, I bought lots of annuals and planted them around the pool. In less than a month, 3/4 of them were dead! I was so upset. I took some back to Home Depot (full refund!) and planted some different ones. Needless to say, a lot of them died too. It was just getting too hot? I must not have a green thumb. Well, now I have over 25 new blooming flowers that popped up this year. Maybe I should never weed again?

Rustic Laundry Room

I finally did it! I painted the laundry room. I've been wanting to use that rust color for so long. I was too scared to use it in a big room. So I tried it out in the laundry room. At first glance, I thought it was way too dark. But after everything was put back together and decorated, I love it! Tom took one look at it and said "What the heck have you done!?" Oops, I forgot to ask for his opinion...permission? Austin said it looked like a model home. Thanks Austin, I need one boy on my side. I love these colors, but don't think I want it everywhere in the house. Maybe we could put it on a couple walls downstairs? I'll have to convince Tommy.
