Little things

Yes I was going to put pictures up, but I had to share something hilarious.  (It might be one of those you-had-to-be-there things.)
We have only one bathroom and Amir thinks he is soooooo funny running and getting there before me.  And I said,"You little poop! Fine. I'm going to pick your zits (he hates that) since you're unable to protest in your current position."  He He. (Yes. I am that petty.)  And he started yelling "Kelp! Kelp!'  I said "Kelp? Huh?  Do you even know what that is?"  He said "yes- your pills."  And sure enough, right in front of him was the bottle of kelp pills.  He then asked, "What's kelp?"
He accomplished his goal.  I was rolling.  I giggled the rest of the night.

Fall things

So hey...it was raining and windy and dark all week in Albuquerque.  Not so good for the balloon fiesta, but great for ME!  It was almost like the great northwest.  OH!  So happy!  And it got cold too.

Amir and I did make it to the state fair (pics below) We missed the goats, but did get to see his chickens.  So many chickens...so little time.

All skirts should be twirly.  Just saying

And for all the whining that goes on in my family, I will post some pictures of Amir and I in our next blog.

What you want to do today?
I dunno.  What do you want to do?
 Now don't start that again.

The story of poo

So we went to the zoo in Tacoma.  Not called the Tacoma Zoo; it's the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.  Hmmm...whatever.  It was cold, cloudy and drizzly. I was in HEAVEN!  (Flying home to ABQ and stepping out into 95 degree weather....not cool)
They have the most awesome exhibit on excrement.  Complete with videos on scat finding dogs, rhino territory marking and dinosaur droppings.  Everything you ever wanted to know about dung, and MORE!
I happen to be a refuse connoisseur. It's really my true artistic medium.
Of course I took photos.

Do these really need captions?

Dung beetle mania!  (Only the smelliest game ev-ah.  Not as addictive as Angry birds, but it may catch on yet.  All it needs is a little PR and someone to boycott it.)

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' Keep them doggies rollin' Rawhide!

And just because she has yet to make an appearance...I give you.....

Is your day now complete? Can you sleep at night without tossing and turning and wondering what I've been up to?

Hugs all around!!!

Summer Fun

So Besty is blogstress extraordinaire.  She's homes all of 3 hours and already she posts.  I guess I'm just a slacker.   Amir said he missed me and I took too many pictures.  What can I say, I have a very photogenic family and I had to try out my new toy.

Apparently the road in front of grandma's house was the place to be.  Grandpa was in the road, Sean was in the road, Matthew was in the road, I was in the road.  The only thing not in the road was cars.  (Not entirely accurate.  Two tractors and a pickup went by)

This was just so precious

Dirt is the greatest toy EVER!

The nest stop on my adventure was Washington.  I meant to go to Portland, but plans got changed a little.
The following pics are just because I told Amy I was putting them on my blog for posterity.

What is it with this family and tongues?

And now for something completely different......................

As you can see, my family is clinically insane.  Besty's mother-in-law has the coolest sign above her door "Remember, as far as anyone knows we're a nice normal family".
Later my peeps.  

Disgusting

Ok, so i've told people about this video but have never shared.  Please know it is disgusting and not for the faint of heart or stomach. This is from our house in oregon when we first moved in.  Three long haired girls lived in the house before us and apparently, they did not know how to clean a drain.

 Amir's commentary is precious.  This is why i love him.
I would say enjoy...but really....it's just gross.

New and Improved

My mother wanted a blog.  So you get a blog.  This is our first official post.
We went to the botanical gardens Saturday.  Our new favorite place in Albuqueruqe.  probably because it has trees and real grass.

The butterfly pavilion

Amir.  Just cause he's adorable.

I will get more pics and be more diligent than facebook....maybe.

Enjoy all ye who enter here.
