EPIC

Usually the word epic is used to describe things like movies (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars...) or books (The

Bible, Lonesome Dove) but rarely to describe a night in the Haslem household.

Well...believe it or not, it was epic.

A night for the books (or the blog as the case may be).

Just look at this picture and you can imagine all the fun that was had.


I promised the kids an extra scoop of ice cream to the child that could sit against the wall the longest.

And the winner was?!? Stephen!!!

Then it was me and Trevor's turn. I won him~ big time. Emily joined us and we were both going strong till  it

got to be 4 mins 57 secs and I gave up. That girl's got some strong quads...

Afterwards, we turned on some music and what better song could've been playing than "You've Lost That

Lovin' Feelin"?

There aren't many songs better than that for an epic evening.

What else were we to do but dance?!?

And that's what we did.

To finish off our fantastic evening the kids ate their well deserved ice cream, we studied the scriptures and

went to bed.  But that's just the way the kids finished off their evening. Trevor and I have our own plans...

(and they may or may not include ice cream)

You should most definitely include ice cream. No matter what!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
