Family Picture

As much as I like the most recent Carter Family Photo (this is isn't it, but it's all I could find), it is missing a few of us and so I give you.... the Carter Family Photo Fiasco!

Tomorrow after the second session of General Conference, at 3:00 p.m., just before dinner we are taking a family photo at Carl & Brooke's. It is imperative that everyone attend and that the following attire be worn:

Boys: Light blue polo or dress shirt, preferably short sleeved. Go for this color, and no darker than this color.

Girls: White polo shirt or blouse, preferably short sleeved

See you there!

Funny boys

I don't know who teaches them this stuff, but they sure have fun being silly.

Nathan found my extendable fork and decided he thought it was "hilarious" to use it to eat pancakes.

Watching Conference

We are not watching General Conference with Greg or Carl today, but I am guessing that we would be seeing a lot more of this. Wake Up! It is tough to listen with your eyes closed.

PETA hates me.

What does the tooth fair do with all those teeth?

At Nathan's school last week they talked all about teeth
There was a slip of paper in his cubby today that read:
What does the tooth fairy do with all those teeth?
Nathan said, "She puts them on her head, she puts them in her pocket"

Just thought you would all like to know where your childhood teeth went.

This is how I really answered....

How Nate really proposed.

Men Holding Hands

I know I shouldn't tease, because some of "the wives" (I won't mention any names) tried this little game and couldn't even balance on the yoga balls, let alone try to make each other fall off.

Then again, we may have just been trying to avoid this:

How Warren Jeffs was caught...

Pirates are Old School

What's so new about pirates? If you recall, I have consistently worn my Cap'n Jack hat since May!

AARGH!

How to Make a Hollow Book

I believe Cameron has a few books that are waiting to be hollowed out. I thought this article might give him a few good tips.

Once it's finished, I have some pez dispensers you could hide in there and see how long it takes Nathan to find them.

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

"Avast, me hearties, and send up the flag!Lend a little swagger to your speech this Tuesday -- September 19 is "International Talk Like a Pirate Day." Aye, matie, it's true, if the legend according to their website is accurate. One summer day ten years ago, two scallywags from Oregon, John Baur and Mark Summers, were playing racquetball. And for reasons they don't even understand they began shouting their encouraging platitudes to each other in pirate-speak. Because, you know, pirates and racquetball go hand-in-hand. The banter was such jolly fun, the pair decided it needed it's own day of celebration. "

Yard by yard

The yard is full of trenches but at least they got the street sign in. Look for a grand opening in about a month!

I saw this magazine at the pediatrician's office...

They're a shoe-in for this cute kid contest.

We're Back....

...in action. Cameron got a chair in the kitchen, so 4 calls to Qwest tech support and 3 hours later, we have internet access. The short of it is that Best Buy sold us a bad modem, but I was able to recover the firmware and make it work. Happy Surfing, Robyn!! BTB, it is Robyn's job to get all of our past due posts up on the blog. If someone knows how to edit this and link to that post, feel free...

Poppie's newzzzzz

Truly.
I have been hanging around Cameron and Robyn much too long and they have tainted me with their "scofflaw" lifestyle. So I get up this morning early to write down the license plate number of my pickup (yes, I had to make a second trip to get the last two digits of the VIN) and I have a PARKING TICKET for parking right in front of my home. We have a construction zone going on here and I parked just like I usually do...but now some Barney Fife cop came after 8 pm and before 5 am and nabbed me.
I will get even....just watch. Next time they call me to donate to the policeman's ball--I will rear back in my lounger chair and laugh. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. AH-ha-ha-ha-ha. Take that $27 and shove it my copper-badged friends. Who did this? Ponch or John? Barney or Goober? Have they nothing to do but comb the cul-de-sacs looking for innocent victims? I am a first-time offender FCOL!

All the things Robyn & Cameron need to post.
