<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: "Sound it out loud while looking at the picture. You'll get it."</span><br />

AMAZING<br />
Over the past few months I've become a big fan of this group, Walk Off the Earth (WOTE).<br />
They've got some great originals (like the video above), but they're probably best known for their remakes like<u> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NF2edxy-M">this one</a></u> (original by Gotye) and<u> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcM14Al83Ls">this one</a></u> (original by Taylor Swift). They have lots of other fun stuff too. Like<u> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHvl6z56zGc">this one</a></u> and for Christmas,<u> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_23xi9ck10">this one.</a></u><br />
I'm sure they have their troubles, but thumbs up for talent and creativity!<br />
Let me know what you think!<br />
(PS anyone want to team up with me to make a fun vid? This gets my juices flowing!)<br />
OK, one more<u> </u><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4LhCv7RY4E" style="text-decoration: underline;">here</a> (original the Beetles). Love the bearded guy!<br />

Right after Christmas we started having a little trouble in our Senior Primary with tech gadgets getting played with when they shouldn't be. Over and over kids were being asked to put the games away both in classrooms and in the Primary Room. Ugh! So, putting Spence's brilliant idea to good use, I played this gem of a video during Senior Primary announcements.</div>

The cone of shame. All her. I just found them laying there, looking despondent, on the couch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning she asked me if heaven has toilets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do I answer that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe we should all be more concerned about such things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully they are the Japanese self-cleaning style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Mom, we should let you call a friend someday."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Mom, when I have kids, will you please be their Grandma?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure. Hope you have some just like you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Really!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love her! She keeps me on my toes, laughing all the way.</div>

The cafeteria we were helping to build. We built the main structure, the foundation was already there, and I believe the next group did the ceiling and started on the plaster. the darker pillar in the middle is made of solid cement that we had to mix by hand with shovels, as are the two little stripes above the windows. The wooden frames on the two corners are holding up wet cement that needs to dry. After drying overnight, the first thing we did was to pull down the forms, remove all the nails for the boards, and put them up on the next two locations that needed cement.</div>

To the right is one of my favorite pictures of the Mayan ruins at Lamani. We were fortunate enough to be able to climb up the tallest temple at Lamani, pictured below. You can't really tell in the picture, but those stairs are incredibly steep and large, which is strange, because the Mayans were a shorter than average race of people. They probably would have had to climb up the stairs on their hands and knees!</div>

Our Stake float in the Pioneer Day parade. My friend Becky is walking along side it. She came up with the concept for the float and her daughter drew sketches for it. It represents one of the early Herriman pioneers, Mary Jane Butterfield. They raised sheep and she would gather and dye the wool with local berries and plants to create beautiful quilts. She loved color! </div>

It was fun to watch the progress of the float at an old neighbor's house and on the blog they kept. It was animated. The spinning wheel rotated and a couple of sheep were involved in a stick pulling contest. We were pleased to find that it had won an award for honoring the pioneer's creativity and ingenuity. Fun to watch it in action on the parade route! I had never really thought about what went into building a float before. Hope everyone had a great Pioneer Day! And, Happy Birthday Dad!!</div>

Universal Studios: Interesting! But, definitely a one time thing for us. The boys really enjoyed the transformers ride and we all loved the waterworld show. We almost didn't go to it, but it was great! While on the studio tour bus we saw members of the cast of the TV show "the Office" <span style="background-color: white;">several times i</span><span style="background-color: white;">ncluding the actors who play Ryan, Kelly and the new annoying British chick (can't remember her name). "Ryan" seemed pleased to be recognized and looked right a me (Kristen), raising an eyebrow to flirt a little. It seems he's just like the character on TV! Rogue! He's on the phone in the shot below...</span></div>

Disneyland: L. getting brave with her feather. She was a bit apprehensive about any ride that went fast, high or had a drop, but we managed to get her on nearly everything her height qualified her for at least once. She surprised us in the end when she really loved Space Mountain. I thought that would be the worst of all, but she wanted to go again!</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/U8EB7svxSnQ?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
A little bit of back story. Spence and I were there with Spence's family celebrating his parent's 50th wedding anniversary. The folks, all 8 kids and their spouses gathered from the four corners of the earth (or the USA) for a week in Newport Beach Marriott condos without kidlets. Woo hoo! Can't believe we pulled it off. Anyway, we played, saw the sun, went to Disneyland, the temple, LA fashion district, Trader Joe's, the beach, etc. We also went to the Price is Right. If you have 15 or more in your group, you can get guaranteed seats. We got there early in the morning, then proceeded to wait for about 4 hours. The men all had on "Flanbros" t-shirts and the women all had on "Flisters" t-shirts, courtesy of Mom Flandro. After they check your ID and issue you a name tag, you slowly get filtered in to where they BRIEFLY interview you. They take a group of around 10-12 people and a producer goes down the line talking with each one for 5-10 seconds, just asking a couple of basic questions. He asked me "what do you do?" I answered, "I'm a mother of five, and I'm a portrait photographer, so I get to make people smile for a living!" With 17 people in our group, we knew we had a pretty good chance that one of us would get called up, as they want lots of excitement in the audience, and we'd all be yelling and screaming.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, I was so excited to be there, I was bouncing around all morning with excess energy. I'm sure they noticed and decided the tall blond might make for a laugh or two.<br />
<br />
Once we finally got inside, it all went very quickly. They get you all whipped up for lots of cheering and clapping. It was so loud! You may have noticed how my voice was hoarse when I bid. They hold up a poster with each name they call so you can see it because you can't really hear it. It was fascinating to watch all of the production people at work. Everything moves very quickly. During the commercial breaks, Drew Carey would talk with the audience and interact. At one point he was over by us and I was desperately trying to get his attention to bring up the 50th anniversary stuff, but he completely ignored me. We think it was because someone was telling him not to talk to me because they knew I was going to get called up. <br />
<br />
After the 18 year old won $10,000 (yes, the girl from Lehi who won the showcase showdown in the end), Drew gave her some sound advice. He told her to get a book about setting goals. He told us that he was a multi-millionaire, and it wasn't by chance. He said, "most people spend far more time planning their next vacation than they do planning their lives." I've never been a big Drew Carey fan, but I was impressed by what he said. He was very genuine.<br />
<br />
Out of the nine people that got to "come on down" for that show, three of us were from Utah. Drew cracked a few jokes about the "Book of Mormon" Broadway play he had just seen. Nothing too bad. The announcer guy called him "Elder Carey" to get a laugh.<br />
<br />
Me flapping my arms? That was Bro-in-law Nate's idea (you can see him egging me on...). He thought we should summon our Eagle Powers (like in Nacho Libre?). I've never felt such a surge of adrenaline as I did when they called my name. Unbelievable. It took all my focus just to come up with a number to bid. $899 just stuck in my head. The family was trying to tell me to bid $1,300 or $1,400, which would have been so much better, but the 13 and 14 they were telling me didn't make any sense, as my brain was mush. Anyway, I was kinda playing along with the lady that beat me when she was going for the car. I wouldn't have won it, but I would have had a chance at the wheel. That is my only regret, really, that win or lose I didn't get the chance to take a pull at that iconic wheel!! <br />
<br />
The kisses? They were for my kids. I won two prizes, totaling a little over $600, but neither is useful to me. I might be able to sell the reference library for something to help me buy the new camera I've been saving up for. <br />
<br />
Drew came down and talked with each of the three of us who didn't make it on the stage. He was kind, and really talking with you, not just distracted and on to the next thing. Nice guy. Right after the show was over, they brought all nine of us behind a little curtain at the back of the auditorium and sat us down in a hallway on folding chairs. It took about five minutes to sign some papers saying that we wouldn't disclose the results of the show until it aired, and giving us the chance to decline any prizes. Then it was all over!<br />
<br />
What a rush. So much fun. The real prize, however, was that immediately after the taping, we all went to the LA Temple, changed into nice clothes at the visitor's center and went in to a session. All of us. It was my first time in this temple, and I was overcome with gratitude for my parents being sealed there in 1967. I finally got to see the room they were sealed in and it brought such joy, along with a few tears. I'm so grateful to them for all they've done and taught me, and for the Flandro family for their goodness and example as well. <br />
<br />
Maybe I didn't win much on the Price is Right, but <i>boy-howdy</i> I am one lucky girl.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417198413884032797.post-31178465743267220172012-02-10T13:05:00.000-07:002012-02-10T13:05:52.164-07:00RecapLast year I decided to celebrate my 40th year by making a list of 40 things I want to do or accomplish during the year. I listed them here so that I would feel a bit more accountable. Well, I'm happy to report that I was mostly successful. The red <span style="color: red;">x </span>means completed in full. Here's the rundown: <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>1. Read President Monson's biography <br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>2. Save another $1,000 toward taking the family on a church history tour in a few years.<br />
3. Help my son, J., go on a humanitarian trip this year. <span style="color: red;">(All signed up and ready to go to Belize this June 2012!)</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>4. Run 1/2 marathon<span style="color: red;"> (ran 2!)</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>5. Read the Book of Mormon again in my personal study<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>6. Update my will, have Spence update his <span style="color: red;">(Actually, done, but in progress too. We're creating a trust to go with it.)</span><br />
7. Transfer home movies to DVD<span style="color: red;"> (1/2 done. Family videos are on DVD, but the smaller tapes still need to be done. Working on it!)</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>8. Update family scrapbooks, baby books<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>9. Get another article published<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>10. Attend the temple 12 times. We always make the goal of once a month, but end up going 11 times. The goal is at least 12 this year!<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>11. Write in my journal at least 1 time each month<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>12. Take my three oldest children and hubby to see Hale Centre Theater's "Christmas Carol"<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>13. Plant a garden in our new garden area<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>14. Attend a U2 concert (finally!)<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>15. Monthly parent/child dates with kids<br />
16. Get all the way through "365 Manners Children Should Know" book with family <span style="color: red;">(UGH! Fail. We only got about 1/2 way through. We'll keep working on it, though.)</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>17. At least one day at either BYU Women's Conference or BYU Education Week<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>18. Give N. piano lessons <span style="color: red;">(well, actually, it ended up being a little bit of piano and guitar lessons)</span><br />
19. Weekly Monday night rotations teaching my kids how to cook <span style="color: red;">(Yes and no. We did do this some, but not regularly, like I had hoped. The good thing is that my kids come and help with dinner more than they used to and with less or no complaining. Getting there.)</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>20. Regular Family Home Evenings<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>21. Go on an overnight getaway with my hubby<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>22. Re-learn how to play "On Golden Pond" on the piano<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>23. Re-organize our food storage<br />
<span style="color: red;">X</span>24. Re-do 72 hour kits in the spring<br />

So there you have it. Since I put it out there in the first place, I figured I should report the results. Overall, I'm pretty pleased. It was nice to have a list of goals for the year, and I really worked hard and did my best, not to prove anything, but just to have some focus for myself as I teeter on the brink of ancient-ness. A last farewell kiss to 40 today. Onward and upward!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417198413884032797.post-30207835083564857462012-01-24T22:21:00.003-07:002012-01-24T22:31:58.735-07:00AhemA bit irreverent, but he nailed it on Gingrich!<br />

Ran my second 1/2 marathon this year a couple of days before Halloween. Costumed, of course. Not much to my hippy. Some of the costumes were amazing! I had a horrible time with my IT band pain, but still managed to shave 8 minutes off of my previous time. Woot! So glad to see my family support at the finish line! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
