Let it snow!

I think I may have an undiscovered disease in which I laugh at inappropriate things. Last night we got the first big snow storm of the season, which spawned an impromptu snowball fight in the parking lot of Barnes and Noble with the nieces. Adi (4), was sitting on her dad's shoulders, and Matt tried to hit her in the stomach with a snowball, but ended up hitting her square in the face. And I laughed, and laughed.

Is it normal to laugh when an adult man hits a four-year-old in the face with a snowball? Probably not.

Babies love me, I swear.

I uploaded the pictures from Adi's third birthday, and I found this hilarious pic of Matt and I holding our nieces:


They look like they hate us! Kirin (left) was so good and happy that day, but was getting cranky near the end of the party. As for Adi, I think she was just coppin' a 'tude for that picture, showing her true top-model skills, because she was so excited and happy all day.

I know all uncles and aunts claim their nieces/nephews are the cutest and best in the world, but mine really are, for these reasons:
1. When I was sitting next to Adi in the car, she punched me and yelled "slug bug!" Sure enough, there was a VW Beetle next to us.
2. When Adisyn gets in trouble, gets hurt, or starts crying, Kirin laughs and smiles. Sibling rivalry at its best.
3. Adi once said, "When I get big, I can say 'fuckin' A.'"

Plus, Adi always wants to sit by me, which makes me feel cool and popular. Some day I will post a picture that proves that they actually like us.

Family Reunion

Last weekend my dad's side of the family gathered in the La Sal mountains near Moab for a weekend of family fun. This weekend is probably going to suck, because Matt and I will be cleaning house to prepare for Katie and Erik's arrival, so I am going to take a moment to reflect on the good times of last weekend.

Some memorable moments from last weekend:

Matt and I arriving to the lodge to find our bed out on the deck, with three drunk women (Caitlin, Regan, Mom) in it.

Matthew, my 13-year-old cousin, yelling "I'm on a boat!" when we were getting in the rowboat on the pond. (Old people, follow the link to get the reference)


Caitlin and I scaring each other with the creepy porcelain doll, then Caitlin accidentally breaking its head off.


Christian (Caitlin's boyfriend) sleep-walking into Kelby, Andy and Matthew's room.

Matt and Regan doing awesome choreographed dance moves to JT's "Like I Love You" while Caitlin and I sang.

Playing Loaded Questions with the fam, and laughing hysterically at everyone's messed up answers.

Caitlin and I driving my dad's truck down to the other cabin, and singing Tiny Dancer.

Taking shots of expensive tequila with my cousins (Regan, Andy, Noah).

Caitlin passing out drunk and curling up under a buffalo skin.



Puking up said tequila then passing out in my clothes.

Waking up from my drunken stupor to hear Caitlin screaming "Brianna!!!!!!!!! Briannnnnaaa!" into the karaoke microphone because she wanted me to sing "Rich Girl" with her.

Matthew putting down the card "Bates Motel" for the category "Cut and Dried" during a game of Apples to Apples (that kid is hilarious).

Kelby, Caitlin, Matt and I trying to convince Christian to climb into the attic (while he was wearing his statue of David underwear).



Kelby and Caitlin and I refusing to smile for a family photo.



...and many more!
