The Keeper of the Cherry Crown

In our family we have a very classy side!

This post is not about that side.

This here crown is passed from one family member to another as a person is deemed worthy

of the the head piece and more importantly...

the accompaning title of

The Reining Cherry  Queen ...... or King.

How does one earn the crown you ask?

Well  it's like this...

You gotta play dirty!

You literally have to do something dirty.

Here are some real life examples of things that have won the Cherry crown in the past:

*Attending a crowded event in last seasons  flip flops that use to be white but are now covered in

dirty toe and heel prints.

*Carrying a purse around way past it's prime.  Like when the bottom of it is covered in

stains from every dirty place it's been set down in the past year.

*The outer door of your car sporting spit out chocolate (with nuts in it) for over 3 months....

*Spray painting pinstripes on your vehicle at night and  waking up to

reallize you have slaughtered your ride with overspray and made just a bad decision in general!

* My post about my scarf dipping into the public restrooms toilet won me the crown

last week.

AND NOW FOR THE NEWEST WINNING ACT:

*Watching your dog take a hot stinky dump and picking it up with your bare hands!

AND JUST TO CLARIFY.......

THIS WAS NOT A MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY!

BUT WE DECIDED TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION AND GO OUTSIDE THE FAMILY DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING NASTINESS OF SAID INCIDENT.

i MEAN WE ARE SOMETIMES CAUGHT IN LESS THAN IDEAL SITUATIONS....

BUT WE ARE NOT WHITE TRASH!

i can't exactly  go into how the name  of the Cherry Crown  came to be...

cuz ....brace yourself for this....i know it's gonna be hard to fathom...

but it's sorta poking fun at someone else that gave us the idea.

I know... I know...bad kitty!

but it was one small comment and then it just stuck around after that...

so anyhow....stay tuned for future updates on the Reining Royalty!

and do share if you catch yourself or someone else with something "cherry".

All i WANT aRE TIGHTS!

FOR HOW MUCH YOU SEE THESE IN

MAGAZINES AND ADVERTISEMENTS ETC....

I SURE CANNOT FIND THEM IN WALLA WALLA WASHINGTON.

SEARS, WALMART, SHOPKO....

HOW DO PEOPLE LIVE WITHOUT MALLS?

i AM NOT A VAIN PERSON BY ANY MEANS....

BUT AGAIN....I ASK...

HOW IN THE HELL DO PEOPLE LIVE WITHOUT MALLS?.....

Her is Tying Her Own Shoes!

Blowing Bubble Gum Bubbles for the first time....

Learning to tie your own shoes....

Ahhhhh  childhood was magical wasn't it.

Matt took the laced card that i got from Star Mill in American Fork....

and said..."lou Lou,  it's time to tie your own shoes...."

...and then he showed her  how .....

and she did it!  

Hmmm....why did i put it off until she was 6 and a half?

maybe cuz she only wears flip flops.....

Takes after her mom i guess.

Now pretend i have a sword......

Mekenzie of South Jordania,  Utahnia....

I now Dubb you

Master of the Important  things of childhood.....

.......

Picture me placing the sword on either side of her  head....

O.k....... it's over now ........you can go......

No,    Seriously.......

there are no refreshments or anything......

I just threw that ceremony together in my head like 2 minutes ago....

there wasn't time for proper menu planning or anything.....

Thanks for stopping by though!...

Next time you should bring it upon yourself to bring the treats if youre really

that upset about it!

hee hee hee

Blowing Bubbles

Kenzie is amongst the throng of bubble blowers now!

She has blown them before but couldnt figure out exactly how to do it again......

She is now a shoe-in  for the Annual Bubble Yum bubble blowing contest......

(there is no annual bubble yum bubble blowing contest)

But if there were.......

she'd be a shoe-in!

She was sooo excited!

Now that we have the important stuff outta the way...

i can teach her to tie her shoes.

I can remember my first bubble.  It was at my gramma's house.

I ran around just giddy!

Can you still remember your 1st bubble? 

If so ....do share!

New Moon....

I will be returning home to slc utah in november for a mumber of reasons.

One being ......

New Moon.  The Movie.

I am attending a Twilight party hosted by my super cool sister Becca before heading off to the

midnight showing of the movie on the 19th of november.

In preparation of said event....

I have begun to read the book again to get in the Mood!

So bear with me , but i thought i owed it to my family to say.....

Dear family,

i regret to inform you that i am indeed

reading New Moon ....again.

I reallize that i have read it already

and that i am not very attentive or productive

at all

while reading the Twilight series.

I apologize ahead of time for any neglect that may occur over the next

 24 - 48 hours.

I will pick up right where i left off with my motherly duties

as soon as i finish page 561.

Thank You for your understanding.

Signed- Your Mom/ Wife
