Kids are Funny

I am not a dummy.. most of the time. :) There is a reason why I surround myself with kids as much as I can... there are three reasons below. The first is Wulf, doing an obstacle course in my room. Second, is my nephew wearing my brothers helmet and fogging it up. And last, but not least, is my niece Tessa trying to eat. Kids are funny... thank freakin goodness !!

Rockin and Rollin and What Not

It was me Mikey's B-day yesterday. I got him some rollerblades and a spiderman helmet and pads. So in Mikey fashion he put them all on and went to class. Happy Birfday My Mikey !! I love you buddy !! He is eighteen... not too far away he is going to be on a mish. :( By the way, whoever can guess what movie my post title is from wins a million dollars !!

Falling For Fall Lineup

Awww ! It is that time of year when I set up my Tivo to tape all the old and new shows that I love... Only to find out that some of them I am going to have to give up cause there are three on at once !! UGH !! There are three new shows, so far, that I am really liking on top of all my other faves... which is pretty much thirty million shows. (Get a life Tam !!) Here they are:


This show makes me laugh my ass off !! It is just hilarious, plus it has great actors and singers. My favorite is the cheer coach... maybe cause at one time I was a cheer coach... and she just fits the bill !! :) It is based in high school... which I am around a little... and focus's on the Glee Club.


Second one.... Again... hilarious !! This is Cougar Town with Courtney Cox. She is a 40 year old, divorcee getting back in the dating scene. So funny. It also has an old Scrubs actress in it so that even makes it better. Plus a hot guy !! :)

My last new favorite is Eastwick. If you have seen the movie... the show is pretty much based on that. It is about three witches that find their power through a hot, mysterious warlock. I have always enjoyed the supernatural type shows... so this I can tell is gonna be a favorite for me.

One thing I have noticed though.. is that night television is becoming more of an rated "R" rating. I mean you pretty much expect FX to have the racy shows... but every show I have watched so far has some pretty explicit sexual stuff. If I was a parent... um it would be hard for me to trust my kids with a television. I look at baby Tessa, or my nephews and think... Wow, the stuff you are going to see on television is going to be scary !!! And to be honest, I just don't know how I feel about that. Maybe I will have to watch all reality shows like Chan and Andee do.... Shoot me now :)

Junk in The Trunk

So.... I have always had a big complex about my butt. Probably because most of my life it has been on the large side. Well the older I get... it gets larger and larger. I used to worry about this more, but seriously, I am to the point now where.... if you don't like me or think I am gross cause I have a large ass... you can suck eggs !! :) But, I used to be really self conscious about what people thought about it. I still will ask my friends at times.... is my butt as big as hers ? And they are usually very large !!




So imagine my surprise and horror when I sat on my toilet to do my business and I broke the toilet seat !! Um... maybe I need to start becoming really self conscious again !! Good Hell !! Here is a pic of the crack.. and then a pic of it duct tape... cause it pinches. The boys stayed with me this past weekend and Hutch told me he liked the duct tape on my toilet. :) I was going to change the seat.. but I think I am going to leave it for awhile.. for a good laugh, cause my Hutcher Buster likes it.. and a reminder that I need to work on my "Junk in the Trunk" !!

One Crazy Tram Ride

No matter what I do with my Crismon family... it is never a dull moment. When I was up for Labor Day, we went to Snowbird for brunch and then took the tram up to the top of the mountain. I am not a big fan of heights, but the view was gorgeous and the kids.. like always were very entertaining. Who would of thought that Chan and Andee's kids would be entertaining... shocker !! :)

This is a video of Will... being Will :) He calls it doing "The Running Man on the Tram"

Bubba Ball

One of the main reasons why I went up north on Labor Day Weekend was to see Bubba and Will play football. Unfortunately, I missed seeing Will. But, I got to watch Bubba and Brianne strut their stuff on the field. They were both amazing and fun to watch !! I am actually kinda glad Will didn't have a game.. I enjoyed his company while watching Brianne and Bubba... Love ya Willer :)

Sunday Brunchness

My great friends, that treat me like a queen, flew me up to Salt Lake City for Labor Day weekend. Chan bought me and Andal pedicures and manicures for Friday. On Sunday, he took all of us up to Snowbird for Sunday Brunch. It was beautiful !! We ate incredible food, walked around the majestic mountains, and rode the tram up to BFE !! I again am blessed in the friend area... so grateful am I !!

Freakin Football

Soo... if you ask anyone that knows me well... I have never been a huge football fan. I mean I like watching my nephews, or godsons, my kids from high school, or Tom Brady !! :) But, in all honesty I think it was on so much at my house growing up... I kinda got sick of it. But, now I find myself enjoying it more. Kinda freaks me out !! One of the things I did over Labor Day was FOOTBALL !! I got to watch Carter play in his little league, and watch Alta High School.... and I don't even know anyone on Alta... and I liked it !! Freakin weird !!


Me and Andal at Carter's game.
Me and Willer... Wub him !!

A Plethera of Life

Wow.. Long time no post !! I have been freakin busy !! What is funny though.. is that it is stuff that I just do all the time.. but more of it. :) School started, and the first couple of weeks are always hectic and this year is no exception. But, in between the craziness I still find time to do the things I love. I have captured the last few weeks in some Iphone Candids... Enjoy !! Hope you all had a great start to the school year !!

Went to Olive Garden with my Brookesby and her family to celebrate her birthday. I hadn't seen her in awhile.. so it was great to see her beautiful face !! She was in Hollywood all summer !! My babies.. Her and Kels.. are getting old !! :(

I have been doing two adays for Drivers Ed. I usually only do it once a day, but one of our teachers can't do it anymore.. so I am picking up the load. It is wearing me out !! Man it's just really hard to sit and tell kids where to drive.. and the scenary... well it's just atrocious !! :)















As a teacher we are not supposed to have favorites.. but, I can't help it. There are always certain kids that I teach that I just miss a lot during the summer. Here are two.. that I was excited to see when school started. They make my life at school a blast !! :)

It never ceases to amaze me the things I see, say, or hear as a teacher. As a cheer coach, I have actually had to say these words.... "Do not poop in brownies and give them to people". Yep.. UNREAL !! Well, this picture captures one of those amazed at what I see moments... One of my kids wiped their booger on my wall... REALLY !!!!!!!!????






















Fall sports are coming.... I love watching my boys play football !! Porter invited me up to watch him at practice. He is getting sooo big !! It seriously freaks me out. He is so good at football, and is so helpful with all the kids at practice. After practice, Stace and I took the boys to get a burger. They got some fake moustaches out of the vending machines and were very entertaining throughout the whole meal.. as always !!!




























And of course, I still watch Tessa once or twice a week. She is a doll... and if I don't see her daily I go through withdrawals. :)

And there is the plethera of my life the last couple of weeks !!

Magnificent Merlin

Usually there is nothing on television on Sundays.. but Merlin started this summer and I am loving it !! If you haven't had a chance to see it... set your DVR's. Good stuff !!

Arcata Pranks

I went on my annual business trip with my pops to Arcata a couple of weeks ago. I always love going there. The cool weather, the gorgeous countryside, and good company are always a plus to my summer. The ladies that we work with at the hospital are hilarious.. and I always enjoy their company the week I am there. This year we played a little prank on one of the ladies cause she wasn't there our last work day. Seriously, it wasn't my idea... I am not a bad influence at all !! :)


Me and Karen... she has the best laugh, loud and obnoxious.. Sound like anyone else we know?






Dad and Barb






The finished product of the prank :)







Sammy







Karen putting cat stickers all over Jessie's keyboard !!







Me and Rita Bonita !! Every year Rita and I usually do something one night the week I am there. This year I got to meet her 90 year old Portuguese mother. We watched a spanish soap opera together. She is awesome !!






Jessie is kindof a tree hugger.. recycle... save the planet kindof girl !! So I decorated her cubicle with my wasted printed paper after she rolled it up for me and told me to use the other side !! yah kill the trees !!

Some Things Never Change

With the help of Facebook, I have hooked up with a lot of old friends. When I graduated from high school, I moved up here to Utah right away and fell off the face of the earth to most of my friends in Cali. So I announced I was coming down last week, and they had a little shindig for me. It meant a lot and it was great to see some of them. They haven't changed a bit... and reminded me again of how much I am blessed in the friends area.
