Another funny story...

This past weekend, I went to the movies with a girlfriend from work. We are all about a girls night at the movie and chowing down on some popcorn and the biggest sodas we can get! We literally skip dinner and just make popcorn and soda our meal. Anyhow, we went Saturday night and ordered two large drinks and the largest "bag" of popcorn they had. The concession person asked us if we would like to pay an extra 25 cents to upgrade to the Mega Bucket. He even mentioned that it was a good deal because it was not only bigger, but the butter wouldn't leak through the bottom of the bag. Me, being the cheapskate that I am (I get it from my hubby I guess :) said no and we would just get refills on the bag if needed. So we get our stuff and walk over to smother our popcorn in butter. We drenched it, shook it up....and drenched it some more. By the second time I did this, I guess I moved the bag around a little too much and butter was dripping down the side of my bag. It became a terrible mess, all over my hands and all over the bag. So we decided maybe we'd ask for another bag. Sounds simple, doesn't it?

Well that is SO not the case. We flagged another concession person down and asked for another bag. We even told them we would pay them the extra 25 cents just to get one (thinking this might compensate for the difference). The lady told us that we would have to buy the bag all over again. We were a little confused and said we just needed a new bag and that ours was a mess. She says again that we would have to buy the bag. So my friend Teri says, "You mean the popcorn is FREE and we're just paying for the paper bag?" The lady said, "Yes".

Court and Melissa, it reminded me of the Dean & Deluca incident in NYC. Where you just ask for something simple and it becomes the most ridiculous and complicated incident ever that you walk off laughing hysterically! Too funny.

Men don't have a clue...

Funny story. On my way home from the store tonight, I anticipated or more like dreaded the #1 question from my husband, which is..."How much did you spend tonight?" I even hid the receipt in a different place than usual in my purse just so he wouldn't find it. Pathetic, huh? Why on earth do I feel the need to do this? To avoid the discussion/fight/whatever you want to call it...it's like groundhogs day and it occurs every single time I go to the store. I can't believe I actually dread arriving home because of it! But that's life I suppose. Married life.

So as we begin to unload the groceries, he asks me..."how much did you spend tonight honey?" I said, "take a guess". He says, "100 dollars?" "HAHAHAHAHA, that's funny", I said. "2 kids and 5 years later, try 275 dollars!" I couldn't believe it. He has no clue. Our bill was usually around $100 when we first got married and had no kids. Now we have two boys that eat more than we do and a house twice the size of our last and he somehow manages to believe it costs the same? Too funny. I'm glad our relationship is still humorous after 9 1/2 years.

Party Like Its 1999...

This past weekend was my 10 year class reunion. I can hardly believe I have been graduated from high school for TEN YEARS! It was a great time and overwhelming to say the least. It was impossible to catch up on what everyone has been doing in those 10 years. The reunion was held at the Stadium Grille (new restaurant in Cdale). There's a bar and a great patio area which we pretty much filled. I didn't get as many pics as I would have liked, but here are a few.

Apple Festival!!!

This year I had the pleasure of taking my babies to watch the Apple Festival parade from start to finish for the first time! I think it was the first time in many years that I was able to watch it all myself as well! Cade and I were in the parade the last couple of years so this was a new adventure to just sit back and enjoy the floats, etc. Maddy and Cade had a blast catching all the candy! It was a lot of fun, but I must say it just wasn't the same without my brother and family and of course, Megan! I can probably count on one hand the amount of times Megan and I have not been together during Apple Festival weekend! :( I think my mom was having a hard time with the absence of my brother as well :) He couldn't be there in person, but they were on the phone doing all they could to make signs, etc. for the queen contestants. And they pulled it off wonderfully! Good job Matt-Matt!

Hangin' out at home

Trying to get a quick photo of Cash and mommy. Not much luck, but it will have to do!

DQ State Fair

Here are some pics from the night we attempted the fair. We had intentions of meeting up with some friends whom Cade would ride rides with, but it turned out he didn't care about it. So instead, we stopped by the petting zoo- which he loved. He was ecstatic and told all the "baby deer" and "baby horsies" hi and bye. He missed out on some good rides but had a pretty good time just hanging out with the animals :)

Giving mommy a break...

The other day Cade decided he wanted to help out and feed his baby brother. Here are a couple of cute pics I got of the event :)

This one is too funny. He is letting the air out of the bottle... He takes good notes!

Random pic...beautiful flowers from my beautiful friend Courtney for my b'day!

Cash's little onesie in this pic has a guitar and the name CASH on the front. His Auntie Meg got him this. I need to take a pic of just it someday and post it. It's too cute!

Notre Dame 35 - Nevada 0

This weekend Ryan and his brothers experienced what a Notre Dame football game is like and all that comes with it. The family surprised Kody with the tickets for his 16th birthday in June and this weekend they all finally got to go. It was opening day and the three of them were like a 5 year old on Christmas morning. Just totally got. I was even told it brought tears to his eyes when they started the fight song! How touching. They had a great time and even thought of me during this entire experience and brought me a shirt! Happy Birthday Kody! "touchdown Jesus" - which can be seen from the field

Apparently the crowd does "push-ups" with each other whenever they score a touchdown...here is Kody doing his :)

Alumni Reggie Brooks & Tony Rice -no relation :)
