You just had to be there...

You know those stories that are so funny you have to tell them, but you have to be an eye witness to fully understand? That was our trip to Wyo this weekend. Rather than, "We went bowling, we ate popcorn, etc..." I'll tell you about the things that make me laugh, and remind me time and time again of not only why I love my family so much, but where it comes from. Where shall I start...

My grandma found a book in her garage called "The Popup Book of Phobias" it's ironically clever. You turn the page and see yourself peering down from the roof of a sky scraper, or to find an enormous spider or dentists drill bursting off the pages. And while we're speaking about irony, about halfway through the book I discovered that an earwig had fallen out of one of the pages and on the the waistband of my sweatpants. I threw the book of phobias onto the floor and battled it out with my own. Swatting at the area where the nasty creature had been spotted and screaming "Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" When I couldn't see where it landed I assumed it ended up in my pants, so then had to make sure my britches were clear. Yes, it was quite ironic.

As we were eating lunch at Tootsies Pizza with my dad and my brother's we were making fun of Justis' hair which desperately needs to be cut. Tre' cracked one of his usual hysterics and just as we finished laughing about it, sweet Kelby looks at me and in the most geniune and sincere tone of voice politely asks me, "Did you get that one, Ash?" So sweet....and such a slam. We all laughed so hard because he had absolutely no idea what was funny about his genuine concern. I actually cried I was laughing so hard.

And for the quote of the weekend:
After a couple rounds of bowling we started an intense round of rotating air hockey. My turn was up and I was going to put an end to Tre's scoring streak. It lasted all of one second and the puck slid right in my goal with little or no resistance. At my dissapointment Tre' says, "My favorite is beating little girls." haha....of course it is Tre'.
