Jack Meets the Fire Department

...
...
I apologize if you were in Lehi today and were in need of a fireman.
...
They were busy.
...
Being entertained by my son.
...
...
We were checking out at the grocery store, and behind us in line appeared to be every firefighter in the city. I was unloading the cart, while Jack sat in the front. By the time I got a few items on the counter, I could see Jack bouncing, waving his arms, and laughing hysterically. ...
......
Apparently he digs firemen....
...
I watched while 8 or so grown men fell apart while they watched and played with him.
Jack was gut laughing so hard, I swear he had tears.
This went on for at least 5 minutes.
At one point I heard one shout,
"Hey Jim, you've got to get over here and see this kid!"
I'm pretty sure I caught one of them with their cell phone camera out.
...
We were starting to make a real scene.
...
I went to pay and left Jack with his new pals, and I swear they were practically discussing being Facebook friends. Jack's new posse put a "Future Fireman Badge" sticker on his shirt, and he sauntered out of the place with a cool high five to the guys like he owned the place.
...
...
Between this, the fact that Jack had to be taken out of church yesterday due to his uncontrollable case of the giggles, and these pictures I caught Jack taking of himself on my laptop self timer this afternoon... this kid's a total party!
Such a happy, hilarious little pup.
And in case you were wondering...the Lehi Fire Department will be cooking a turkey tonight and will be using the leftovers for sandwiches tomorrow.
Jack told me so.

The length of each phone call between me and Annie today.
...
Yes, that's a total of nearly 2 1/2 hours.
...
What?
...
2 kid-watching senoritas without husbands home this evening, that's what.
...
I'm not needy.
...
I swear.
(or bored)
...
...
this is the face I make the whole time we talk

A Heartfelt Thank You

...
...
I just want to personally thank all of you who have not recently updated your blog.
......
Until you do, I feel off the hook.
......
...
So, until I get my act together....
(or something eventful to blog about)
...
......
......
stare into this face.

...
..I hate that nagging feeling I get when I haven't written a post for a while.
...
*blah*
...
ljn3y7ksoxitw9.
An example of what goes through my blog brain when I feel like I've neglected writing and have nothing of great importance to write about.
...
I feel like the "blog gods" are grading me or something, and if I don't get a post in...I'll lose points.
Not points!
......
I can't seem to put together a post all neatly wrapped up in a bow.
But.
I.
Don't.
Want.
To.
Lose.
Points.
...
So.....
As not to neglect the blog, here are 10 thoughts that are of great importance.
(when I say "great" I mean very little.)
...
...
1. Go freeze yourself some Mini Cadbury Eggs.
You can thank me later.
...
......
2. I was given some darling pink balloons on my birthday.
3 weeks later they are still floating.
I think that's creepy.
...
3. Sometimes the thickness of my hair makes it look like I'm wearing a Russian hat.
...
4. I should resolve my addiction to Teddy Grahams and Orange Tic Tacs.
I'm 100% sure there is an ingredient in Orange Tic Tacs that is not right for the human body to ingest.
......
...
5. Brett, Jack, and I all took a nap for over 2 hours this afternoon.
Almost as delish as my recent diet.
...
6. I desperately want someone to nominate me for What Not to Wear.
I think I could spend that $5000 well.
...
7. I like Daylight Savings.
Although, Jack now goes to bed under the noon day sun.
...
8. I'm totally in to the Hunger Games books.
For all of you that think books like these are immature and unsophisticated, I say...
After teaching 1st grade for years, to me anything beyond Mr. Brown Can Moo is sophisticated... so there.
If you want a fast, entertaining read...put down the Cat in the Hat and give these babies a whirl.
...
9. Yesterday Brett came to the store with me and Jack and insisted on buying a jar of pickles.
I dropped that jar of pickles while I was unloading the cart at the checkout
and shouted $*%& as the pickles plummeted to the ground and shattered all over the floor.
It was like a moment after someone witnesses you falling and you try not to act embarrassed.
I'm pretty sure I muttered "Clean up on aisle 2," thinking it might be funny.
By the look on the checker's face, it wasn't.
...
10. Putting Jack in the double shot to play on a Sunday afternoon is always a guaranteed great time.
...
11. Brett just lovingly mocked my blogging and asked how it makes me feel when I get comments.
Busted.
And all you readers of this blog...Annie is out of town...so don't leave me hanging!
.........
I said I'd write 10...but there's 11.
Consider it extra credit.

Brett.

There are countless reasons I feel lucky to be married to Brett.
....
The following dialogue is one such reason.
...
(Last night during the 56 hour Bachelor finale)
...
7:00
Brett: "Obviously Tenley would be the better choice. (With hand raised, counting the reasons on his fingers). She comes from a good family, has good morals, she's hotter than Vienna, and she is really nice."
...
Me: patting his knee, "Yeah, Brett."
...
8:00
Brett: "Man, Jake really is ripped. Look at those washboard abs."
...
Me: silent in awe.
...
8:30
Brett: "Oh, I see. He's not attracted to her. That is a problem. Not going to work.
Nevermind, I hate Tenley. I really get Jake.
...
9:45
...(As I'm fast forwarding through the live performance of "On the Wings of Love.")
...
Brett: "Wait! What are you doing?! Rewind!!!!"
....
..
Enough said.
...
...
I really did score with that one...
...
POST EDIT:
I felt that Brett's comment to this post was worth adding to the post itself:
Blogger Brett Dee said...

I feel I must comment in my defense. Like the rest of America I fell prey to Jake's charm, and washboard abs....and if that makes me less of a man then so be it! Jake, you broke my heart (and Tennly's and Gia's, Ally can get bent) I hope you and Vienna die in a plane crash on your way to get her crossed eyes fixed. -Love, Brett
