Laurens best friend Makenna Beckstead was diagnosed with Leukemia about a month ago. She and Lauren had just been out to BYU volleyball camp a few weeks before they found out. Her outlook looks very positive, just a long haul of treatments. Lauren is very concerned about her. She wanted me to order her some bracelets with the words, "Kenna kick Cancer" on them and we gave about 200 to Kenna to pass out to her friends and family. This is one of our visits to the hospital. The boys playing in their last golf tournaments of the summer. It was long, hot, and fun. Ashlen is obsessed with the Movie, "Mama Mia" She watches it many times a day and can sing most of the songs, you can't understand what she is saying, but she is singing them. This is really the first time that she has sat down to watch anything on TV. She also likes to watch. "so you think you can dance". I guess it is the action she likes with the dancing and singing. All I can say is, it's about time that kid started to watch tv. I can finally have a few moments of peace.
So this is the friend that lives near me, right? What a great idea to make those bracelets - Lauren is an awesome friend. If you need me to act as delivery girl for anything just let me know.
I think I have hair on my chest" (Austen's observation of himself while swimming)
"All dad does at work is fire people and sign checks" (Peyten wondering why dad can't come home early from work)
"My shoulder hurts from playing the Wii" (Peyten said this as he was stretching with the golf club before hitting balls at the driving range).
"I wish everything tasted as good as french toast" (a random observation from Peyten on the way to school this morning) 6-03-08
"Are all sign language people short?" (peyten said this after seeing a rather short person signing) 6-22-08
"If I drink anymore of that lemonade i'm going to have to urimate" (peyten said this when we were golfing) 7-21-08
"I'd rather get a shot than go back to school" (Peyten said this on his way to school after the 8 day break from Hurricane Ike) 9-24-08
"Mom are you glad you have cool kids?" (Peyten again) 9-28-08
"Did you know that my Dad rode the 'short bus' when he was a kid?" (Peyten said this to our neighbor boys when I was driving them home from school, totally not true, or is it?) 10-27-08
Peyten was talking to me about a rating on a video game and he said, "Mom, it's not really that bad of a rated 'M' game, it just has intense violence, blood and gore."( guess I should buy it then, don't want him to miss out on all that fun)
"I need my hair cut, my catholic looks funny" ( Peyten meant his cowlick or however you spell it.)
Lauren said this during Thanksgiving while all the women were in the kitchen and the men were on their arse's watching TV. "I would hate to be a pilgrim and make Thanksgiving dinner, unless I was a guy, they don't do anything." Amen sister!!!
Ashlen started a baby Ballet class yesterday and I was telling the kids about it and Peyten said, "SO she's going to be one of those flexible chicks?"
Ashlen said, "oh crap". We all crack up when she says it.
Ashlen sticks out her bottom and says, "look at my cute butt."
"You're the meanest mom ever, probably meaner than the devil's mom ". (Does the devil have a mom?) (Peyten said this cause I wouldn't take him to get a new video game, he didn't have any money and I wasn't about to spend my money)
Peyten got into the car after school the other day and said, "I'm starving, will you make me top ramen, a chocolate shake and 9 strips of bacon?" (Yummy)
Ashlen says, "fart yard" instead of "front yard".
Peyten told me that I need to start getting Ashlen blue things instead of Pink, when I asked why he said, "cause she is turning into a girl." (hmmmmmm)
Peyten called me on my cell phone to ask if he could watch WWF (wrestling) on TV if he promised not to practice the moves on Ashlen.

The bracelet thing is a great idea. Good to hear things look good for her.
And glad Ashlen will finally sit still for something!!
