I'M A WINNER, AGAIN!

Okay, so here is just a quick post to tell my good news that happened on Friday morning. As I was driving into work, I was listening to the local country station on the radio. Every morning they do a thing called 'secret sound' where they play a snipit of a sound and then everyone calls in and tries to guess what it is for a prize. Sometimes I think I know what the sound is, but I have never been able to get through. On friday, the sound sounded to me like popping the metal top off of a can of Spam. A bunch of people had called already and gotten their guess wrong, so I thought, well, I'll give it a shot. So, I called about 4 times and finally got through on try 5. I told him what I thought the sound was, and he told me I was wrong. I was thinking, oh well, at least I tried, when he said, "I'm getting tired of nobody getting this right, so I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what the answer is and then you say it back to me and you will be our winner!" I thought that was strange, but said ok! He then told me the sound was popping the top off of an aerosol can (like hairspray). Now, many of you know the extent of my acting skills.... NONE! So, when I said it back to him it sounded retarded and forced. But, he just recorded that part and I was the winner! So, I got free dinner at Cafe Sabor in Logan and I also got entered into the end-of-the-month drawing for a big prize. So, everyone cross your fingers and hope that I can win again-even though I don't deserve it! :)

Yes, it's a Tag...

Okay....

I have never done a tag before... I have been tagged, but never actually done it. Emily tagged me about my 6 unspectacular quirks. I naturally assumed I didn't have any, but Stuart 'helped' me to remember a few. :)

1. I tend to bring my nails up to my mouth like I am going to bite them, but I don't actually do it. I'm not sure why I do this, I think it's a nervous habit, and definately unspectacular.

2. When I get stressed out I rub my eyebrows. I know, it's strange, and I didn't realize I did it until Stuart pointed it out one day. I don't rub them back and forth, I kind of just flatten them against my face.

3. I hate putting away laundry. I don't know what it is about it, but I absolutely HATE it. We can literally have a clean pile of laundry sitting on our chair in our bedroom for a whole week. I'm sure it drives Stuart nuts (although not enough for him to actually put it away either!).

4. I have to be touching Stuart somewhere when I go to sleep. It can be a foot, or a hand or anything, but I have to touch him. I'll even just scoot my bum over and have it touch him. I guess I am very needy!

5. Another sleep one... I have to have covers on. Even if it is blazing hot I need something covering me. It can just be a light sheet, but I must be protected from whatever it is that attacks people without covers on!

6. I hate to loose to Stuart. It doesn't matter what the game is (video game, board game, hangman), I hate to loose. This is especially difficult because he is a bit of a cheater. So, he tends to win a lot. I can loose to other people and be a good looser, but not to Stuart. I take it personally and usually get mad at him. Needless to say, we play most of our games as a team now! :)

Okay, there they are... now that I think of it, I probably have a lot more. Oh well! I tag Sarah and Whitney.

Twilight!

Ok, so I know it's retarded and I know there's a chance I could be dissapointed, BUT, I am really excited for the Twilight movie to come out!!! November 21st! I have already talked Stuart into coming with me.... he could use some new material to make fun of anyways... :)

HALLOWEEN 2008!

Well, we had Halloween Party this year at our house and it was a ton of fun! We really appreciate everyone that came and would like to thank you all for being good sports! Here are some of our guests:

Well, it looks like Mom and Dad came! I know these costumes are very convincing, but it's really just Paul and Stuart!

Here are the Bytheways, Whitney was a Lortab (her new friend since her spinal headaches after having Hadley 1 week ago), Paul was Mom Cutler, Sesaly was a cowgirl on a horse, and Hadley was a hot dog!

Here is the Heaton Tribe. Blake originally had a loin-cloth on, but Lauryn and Celeste vetoed it. Jaq's cute little headband said "Little Round Belly". They were very cute!Here is Heather, Justin and Kaden... Heather was Einstein, Justin was an Aggie fan (?), and Kaden was a little greaser!

Dad the convict (note the tatoos) and Mom the homemaker (just kidding!).

Celeste the Oriental, and Stuart dressed as, well, Dad!

Annaka and Heidi... our cute cowgirls!

Helen, our frightening Tongan.

Bobbing for Worms!

Now, this game is a knock-off of bobbing for apples... but since that is disgusting to have everyone stick their faces in the same water, we did bobbing for worms in cool whip! There were 7 gummy-worms in the bottom of each bowl of cool whip and each person had to fish them out with only their mouths (and obviously faces!)... Blake and Stuart enjoying mouthfuls of cool whip!

Paul, Dad (with his face in the bowl) and Justin... I guess they had to come up for air.

And here is our winner, Blake! Horray!

Mummies!

This was our Mummy wrapping contest... each team was given 4 rolls of the cheapest toilet paper ever and they had to wrap their mummy the fastest and the best...

This team consisted of Dad, Mom, Paul, and Helen...

This team had Heather, Blake, Annaka, and Heidi... notice Sesaly and Kaden just staring... they weren't sure what to make of all of this...

This team was obviously the best of all, it included Justin, Stuart, Celeste and Lauryn.

Here are our finished mummies! Heidi, Lauryn, and Helen! It was a blast!

Rootbeer Drinking Contest

We had a rootbeer drinking contest also! Justin almost won, but Stuart made him laugh and this is what happened! Poor Kaden got ice-cold rootbeer all down his back! Unfortuantely Justin was disqualified for loosing some...

Here is Blake and Stuart chugging away!
And here is our winner, PAUL! By the time he was done, his eyes were watering and he had a few burps to share with us. :)
