Random Confessions

By -
Sometimes when I fall asleep holding Kaiya, she gets a pool of drool on the top of her head.

When the ringing phone wakes me up, I practice saying "hello" a couple times in an attempt to minimize my man-voice.

Every once in a while, I just give all my students A's on their papers and call it a "present". Really, I just don't feel like reading them.

Sometimes when I'm sleeping in on a day off and I hear the garage door (meaning Brad's home unexpectedly), I hurry and jump in the shower so that my husband will think I'm somewhat productive.

I've been known to buy new underwear instead of just doing the laundry.

I have totally scared myself (like, screamed out loud scared myself) in the middle of the night by catching my reflection in the mirror and thinking I've seen a ghost. Twice.

Oh, the "man voice" and "hurry and jumo in the shower" hit just a little close to home. ;) You're funny. Really. I laughed out loud.

I think that most of us can relate to these confessions. At least, I know that I can.

Practically every time I walk into Brett's old room I am surprised by (and afraid of) the life-sized cardboard photo of a pro basketball player that stands in the corner! Seriously, my heart starts to pound.

Wow! We are a lot more alike than I thought! I'm guilty of all of the above except for the "thinking I've seen a ghost" thing which, by the way, is freakin' hilarious! Oh and the drooling thing is all Patrick! :) You have the best posts! Thanks for feeling the need to share...I had a good laugh!

1. I'm also afraid of that basketball dude.
2. I scare myself with my reflection in Jake's bedroom mirror if it's the middle of the night.
3. I hated reading and really grading papers.
4. I have a daily mental "to do" list and "showering" is on there. I made the mistake of telling Blaine this and he's never let me live it down.
5. I used to ALWAYS practice my "hellos" until LaChae called me on it while we were living together. Jerk. Now I ALWAYS have man-voice.

I love this. And confess to many of the same things.

I think I have done most of these things, I just would never tell anyone that I have! That's why I love you so much, you aren't afraid to confess to everyone! It made me laugh so hard thinking of you doing all these things.

I was introduced to the "hello, hello, hello" trick via Brent. I think he started doing this while on his mission!

thoroughly entertaining! I never thought to practice the hellos...I've just always sounded like a man I guess? Hmm. As for the drool...you're just paying Kaiya back for what she leaves on you! Loved your random confessions...you are a great writer!

Thank heaven for little girls

Sayla Larsen and Kaiya have dance together on Tuesdays. Imagine a dozen uncoordinated three-year-olds running around a studio in tutus. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. The girls were playing at our house after class the other day. They are so funny together... See? Told ya.

Valentine's Day photos

Valentine's Day seemed as good an excuse as any to schedule long-overdue photos for the kiddos. (And I'm posting all of my favorites because I can.  Also so that my mom and Marsha can tell me which ones they want me to print for them.) Ben was an absolute turd during this photo shoot, which is why I'm amazed these pictures turned out as good as they did.  I will have to Photoshop that sucker out of his hand when I order prints for the wall, though.  Here's our little GQ junior model...  Seriously, how could anyone stay mad at that face?  And here's Miss Kaiya!  She is growing up WAY too fast for my liking. This one is my favorite! So... once Ben finally cheered up, Kaiya acted up, and our attempts at getting a decent sibling photo were kinda' thwarted... This one will have to do :)

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve We attempted to teach the Walker grandkids the nativity story by having them act it out.  Ben was uncooperative and the costumes need some work (my fault), but the kids were pretty cute nonetheless.  Ben cheered up when he got to play with this super friendly golden retriever puppy that my in-laws were babysitting/hiding (he was to be a Christmas surprise for some friends).  What is it about this breed that is so stinkin' cute!?    Kaiya decorated some cookies for Santa by emptying two jars of sprinkles. Christmas Day   Since we video taped the whole procession, we neglected to take too many pictures Christmas morning.  But here are a couple shots of the magic.  Among other things, Santa gave Kaiya a puppy... as real a puppy as she'll ever get, anyway :)   Santa also brought Ben his own little car which he's been driving around the basement for three days (alongside Kaiya on her new birt...
