Dangerous 4-letter word

"MINE" Yes, our little Jakey who is now almost 20 months old has now learned to say the word Mine. With two older brothers, this word is very valuable to him. :) With his cute little personality, he has definitely used this word to tease everybody a lot and he makes us laugh. Other words to go with this one is Elmo and More. Elmo does definitely go with the word Mine. He says, "Mine Melmo" which is so very cute. But we are pretty bias. He says "Mo" for More which we all love too.

Jake also has also started with an obsession with Elmo. We got him these Elmo pajamas for Christmas and it has been no big deal until two weeks ago. One day he just woke up and started saying "Elmo". He saw these pajamas and insisted on wearing them. Holy Cow! He did not want to take them off! Yes, he got to wear them all day. Austin got a big Elmo for his birthday when he was 2 years old that we still have and so Jake has claimed this as his own now. Also, we were walking through Walmart and he spotted these Elmo slippers. WOAH! The world was going to end as he knew it if he did not have these Elmos. Yes, we gave in and he got the Elmo slippers. So he is all decked out in Elmo now. I know, I know I keep promising pictures and sooner or later they will come and I will get one of him in his Elmos :)

Question...

So I was doing the boys' laundry the other day and I was taking the clothes from the washer to the drying, I was just chuckling at the funny things that are left in their pockets that are at the bottom of the washer or end up at the end of the dryer; rocks, chapstick, toys, pennies, just stuff they found around the house or outside. This also got me to remembering when I worked at a dry cleaners in Pocatello. It was part of my job before doing anything else with the clothing, that I check all the pockets of the clothing. It is funny the things that was found. One time I stuck my hand in a pocket and felt something totally weird and I totally freaked out. The hilarious thing is it was only a coushe (sp?) ball but it was the scariest feeling when I did not know what it was.

Anyway, so my question is, what is the funniest, scariest, most interesting, whatever thing you have found in the washer or dryer after doing laundry?

For Your Birthday?

Yesterday, Jeffrey and I were handwashing the pots and pans that could not fit in the dishwasher. He kept begging me to let him use the scrubber to help wash. I should have let him do it but I was in a hurry so I just wanted to get it done. His job was to rinse the soap off in the next sink. Jeffrey is always full of funny comments and out of no where he said, "I wish I could have a scrubber for my birthday so I can help wash the dishes." I couldn't help but smile and giggle inside. I guess the boy really wants to help!

Trying to get back

Sorry I haven't been on here for awhile. Life decided to happen even more quickly than it was before and I have been trying to get used to a new schedule.

For those that were wondering, I did not fall off the face of the earth :) I picked up another transcription job and so just busier than ever. It is definitely hard to keep up with it all and not feel burnt out. I really like my new job that I have. I am now typing for some local providers and also typing for a company based out of Salt Lake City who have an account with the Universtiy of Utah, so I am doing a couple of accounts there also. I really enjoy it! I am just trying to figure out how to balance it all now.

I need to get Josh to teach me how to download pictures so that I can do that too. We have cute pictures clear back from Halloweed that we need to get on here.

More to come soon!
