Look what I found on my computer!!!

Found a file on my computer today that was named Klara's USA....I guess I never look to hard at the desktop. But it was a nice surprise when I opened it and found pics from her visit last year. I especially liked the ones she took of her with the kids. :) I had to laugh when I came across the car pics. Good Memories :)

back to your regularly scheduled programming

This is what happens when you take a naked barbie(Repunzel) to your grandmother's house. Well at least this is what happens when you take naked dolls to MY Grandma's house. Ryann has decided that she now loves her barbie type dolls...since she has been to daycare she has learned ALOT. On Memorial day, which is the biggest holiday in my family, she took her naked barbie, naked Flynn Rider doll, and horse to play at Grandma's. Of course, Grandma made a huge deal about "those" type of dolls and little children should not be playing with them...mainly because they will question all those "parts" on bodies. My Lordy...as if the half naked girls in commericials to sell you bras or perfume wouldn't make a kid wonder a dang thing. We ended up leaving the naked dolls and Grandma sewed underwear on them. Unfortunately there was a tragic accident with Flynn Rider, where his legs were broken beyond repair. Grandma claims it was an accident, but I have a sneaking suspicion that she may have pulled his legs a little too hard and snapped that rubber band that held his legs on. (She did not like him at all) Ryann wasn't exactly sure what to think about the new clothing, but she has gotten use to it. I actually don't know who was more scarred in the whole incident....Ryann or Grandma.

There is a difference!

OK...so I guess this being MY blog, I have a right to complain and vent about a current issue right? I have been hosting Exchange students for FIVE years now. Six kids total during this time. I have pretty much loved the experience and the opportunity to grow to love each one in my own way. K- with that said I really need to be ABSOLUTELY clear here. I AM NOT A FREAKING HOTEL KIDS!!!!! When you ask to visit and say that you want to stay with me, YES there is an implied sense that you will be spending a significant amount of time with us. QUALITY time. I expect that you will come and show my family respect in following the same type of family/household rules that have always been in place. If you would like to stay out all hours of night, or come and go as you please....by all means Please use your money and get a hotel, or stay with people which those type of acts will not bother them. It would be called RESPECT. I get that you all are growing up and think that because as an ADULT you can do whatever you want. Well you can, but not when you are a GUEST at someone else's home! I understand that some of you have the excuse that I am like family and that is how you act when you visit home. Yes, I love you like family, but that does NOT give you the right to walk all over me and to hurt my feelings. I am also a person too. If you have limited time to visit, please just make time to visit with us when you can, I understand that friendships last a lifetime and family comes and goes....oh maybe that is backwards. So from this post on all who make plans to visit will be directed to read this post so there is no miscommunication about the terms of their visit. This does not mean that you are not invited to come and stay. I am just stating my expectations and you can decide if you'd like to stay with me, or just visit the family when you have time.

Blackmail video....and YOU know who you are!!! ;)

So my favorite "shall remain nameless" person has stepped into it again. :) I thought that I was the only one to blindly walk into something without prior knowledge of what all the details were. I know have video evidence that I come by this NATURALLY!!!! I never thought that I could catch a moment like this in my life, hahahahaha but thanks to my wonderful Aunt I can die a happy woman. :P OK...so here is the bad news. I promised that I would not post the video to the internet. :( Sorry everyone. Those who were there for the event can smile just knowing they were a part of something epic. :D I promised that I wouldn't post the video, but I didn't promise that I wouldn't mention it in my blog! This blog makes *unnamed* crazy and I ♥ it!
