Favorite Pens

Like many of you, I have a favorite pen or two. I really enjoy doing crosswords and this is my lucky crossword pen, but something is just not right with it.

Whenever such a dilemma pops up in our home, my first thought is, "Ask Morgan." Why, you ask? Well, ever since he was a cute, little toddler, I'd notice interesting things just - happen - around the house. Two that pop into my mind are: 1. The time I went to put on some chapstick from a brand, new one. When I opened the cap and went to put it on, I saw the end of a nail sticking out. The chapstick itself was NOT all mushed up or anything either. 2. The time my beautifully painted egg on the little gold egg stand, that a friend had made for me, with a beautiful note that explained what each color and design meant, just POOF, disappeared! I never smelled a funny smell, didn't ever notice that one of my children might have actually eaten the egg and gotten violently sick, never found even an itty-bitty piece of egg shell anywhere in my entire house. So I told myself, "Ask Morgan".

Of course, at the time, he was too little (3, if I remember right), so no way was he going to be able to fess-up in a way that would make any sort of sense to me.

To this day, I have not a clue what happened to that beautiful egg, but the note is still there on the gold egg stand. Too bad I didn't take a picture of it, but who would think it would disappear.

So, this favorite pen doesn't close right anymore, and the boy is going to talk this time and fess-up to whatever the heck he put inside it! Can't wait to hear his explanation...

high school freshman

This is morgan by the way. So as some people may know that i started high school this year, i have somewhat enjoyed it. This year i plan on doing my very best in school and hope that i get the best out of it. My friends and teachers is what make school fun for me. Even though at times its hard and frustrating i like to learn. At my school we have the main rule as respect for yourself and others. It can be kind of hard to pay attention in class because of how small the rooms are. But when i come up to usu and sometimes when i went to logan high for something school related there i would notice that the classes rooms there are alittle bit bigger than the ones at fast forward. One good things i find easier is that we only have three classes a day and they are two hours each. Even though it may be a long class time, its enough time to have a chance to do alittle bit more work in class. We also sometimes mostly all the time never have to do homework, its all in classwork which is better than having to lug a big backpack around to six or seven other classes. Sometimes that may seem easier to some people but that just means that you are hurting your back when you do. I like it just because when you don't understand something to much your teachers help unlike some other schools teacher. High school gets easier when you get more into the year. And we go by terms which they seem to go by way quick. Its more fun that way. As you may know in the last post my mom said that we had a puppy named jack(with one eye),we still do and he is just crazy most of the time. He practically never just calms down when there are friends or neighbors over. Its pretty funny to see his reaction when we get home from school and work because he runs around like a maniac and than just calms down and than goes back to running around. I just felt like posting something random on my families blog because i was bored and i asked my mom so thats why i did.

Jack

Jack Carroll was born on August 1, 2009. Today he is 12 weeks old. Ok, so he's 3 months old. 12 weeks just sounds cuter, and Jack is cute. We love him! His mom had to have a c-section to deliver him, even though he was the last one. Somehow, he got an infection in his right eye and so he's blind in that eye. He doesn't have a full name yet, just Jack Carroll. I told the kids I think his name needs to be Jumpin Jack Stockton Digger Carroll, because he jumps a lot and loves to dig! So, here are some pictures of the newest member of our family...

My Julie Graduated!

We are so proud to have the first high-school graduate in our family. The ceremony was of course, pomp and circumstance, but much more than that! It was entertainment and special and Julie looked so pretty in her graduation dress from Auntie Julie. I can't say who shed tears, but they were tears of happiness and gratitude. We are blessed.

Updating...

OK! I'm trying to update, but...

Julie had a dance competition in St. George last weekend & did a GREAT job! Here's some pictures, and more to come!

Weirdness

Yesterday when I was leaving work, out of the blue I started wondering when underwear were "invented".

Last night I had 2 dreams
Dream #1: I painted my toenails a bright neon red, 'cause I felt guilty about not painting them much, when the other beautiful ladies at work always have theirs looking so nice.

Dream #2: Two very important people at work wanted to talk to me, a woman and a man. They were dressed really nice, but were only about 30 inches tall, but their voices were regular volume, so it was kinda scary. Anyway, my neck started to hurt from talking to them from so high up, so I decided to sit down on the floor, so then I was looking up at them. I guess we had a good meeting, 'cause I remember laughing and them telling me not to laugh so loud 'cause it was hurting their ears.

It would be great to be able to draw, 'cause this would be funny as a cartoon!
