Yesterday I was talking to a friend on the phone and I was describing the difference between my taste in ties and my father's taste in ties..
Here are my exact words...
"I mean- A 22 year-old mom, versus a 65 year old grandpa!"
...let me highlight for you the part that I think is hilarious, and also slightly disturbing...
"I mean- A 22 year-old mom, versus a 65 year old grandpa!"
Only after the sentence came out and Lindsay started cracking up did I realize what I flowed right from my lips.
Turns out in my mind, I am still 22... I ROCK!!!
Models Needed!
Hi People!
I need at least 5, and preferably 7 TALL, HANDSOME, and FIT male models for a shoot for our tie website. It will be staged like a groom and his groomsmen, so the guys need to be between 20 and 30, and preferably with most of their hair!
I will most likely shoot on a late Sunday afternoon.
The model will need a black suit with a jacket.
What will the model get out of this?? The satisfaction of knowing that they are so good-looking that they got to be a model in a picture on a commercial website! Also, a fantastic looking Yellow striped tie!
If you are interested...Let's be serious...if you would like your husband or a friend of your husband...or BOTH... to be considered, please email me, and send me a picture. Then I will let people know!
(Donnie- I am counting on Brett as #1!!!)
Thanks Wives of Hot Husbands!!!

AWESOME/ NOT AWESOME
Time for another installment of Awesome/Not Awesome, but today we will start with "NOT AWESOME" (there may seem like a lot of unrelated "not-awesomes" but bear with me and you will see them all come together quite nicely...)
NOT AWESOME:
~Jaxon hasn't napped in 5 days (Jaxon needs naps!)
~I needed to take my parents to the airport today during naptime
~Jaxon was hungry
~Jaxon screamed/yelled/whined/cried pretty much the whole way there, and HALF the way home
~I was driving my mom's Lexus...which is WAAAAYYY quieter at 80 MPH than my Honda. (normally, that would be in the "Awesome" catagory, but you may see where I'm going with this...)
~On the way home, the louder Jaxon screamed...the faster I drove...
~I got pulled over on the ramp from the 202 to the 101...
~Going 85...
~In a construction zone...
~oops.
AWESOME:
~I apologized to the officer and blamed the whole thing on Jaxon's screaming (At this point he was dead silent but did have tears in his eyes) (probably thought I was selling him out and sending HIM To jail...poor kid!) And also on the fact that I was driving my moms nice quiet car...
~Officer QuackenBush (Not a joke...) gave me a warning, and told me...
"When I was a kid, if I misbehaved, my dad said, "Keep screaming and I'm gonna pull over, take off my belt, and use it on you. It always worked for me...."
~Officer QuackenBush leaned in the back window and gave Jaxon a stern lecture about yelling while mommy is driving!
~Jaxon was silent almost the whole way home...
~When he started crying I reminded him about what Officer Quackenbush said and he zipped right up and asked, "Otherwise I would be breaking the law mom? And they would pull ME over?" "Yep. That's right Jaxon!"
~Silence the rest of the ride home!
If I can get some good milage from Officer Quackenbush's threat to Jaxon, this whole experience was WELL WORTH IT!!!
PS- this is my second time getting pulled over...on the freeway...this year...and only getting a warning!

Purple Day!
At Preschool...or should I say, "Early Childhood Education and development Lab" (In case any of you never need to drop off/pick up Jaxon) they are learning the colors of the rainbow as one of their activities. Every day for 6 days they have had a color a day, starting with red etc etc. where they wear that color, and all their crafts and snacks have to do with that color. We have had a lot of fun with it...until today... PURPLE DAY! Jaxon doesn't own any purple clothes. I went shopping several places and couldn't find any purple boy clothes. So, we were going to have to skip "dressing up" all together...but...
DA, DA, DA....GRANDMA SAVES THE DAY!!!
Grandma Ferrell just couldn't bear the thought of Jaxon not wearing something purple, so she shopped, and shopped and finally found 2 things. I purple polo that was slightly too big, and a sleeveless jersey in the old school D-Backs colors. Jaxon chose the polo, because even though it was a "girl color" it was a "boy shirt" (because it had a collar) The Jersey he deemed a girl shirt, 1. Because it was purple, and 2. Because it was sleeveless!
As an added bonus, Grandma also got Jaxon some purple Halloween socks (which I held my tongue about, even though they were girl socks...because Jaxon LOVED them!) So today after preschool Ms. Rochelle said that Jaxon had a great day, and LOVED being the only boy who wore purple, and the ONLY PERSON to have purple socks. Ms. Rochelle and the other teachers made a big deal out of it, and Jaxon was on cloud 9.
PS- Jaxon is having quiet time in his room, but just knocked on his door for me to come in, then asked me "Can I please read my scriptures to my dinosaurs if Im very careful?"
MELT MY HEART!!
This is us- picture review!
Grandma and Grandpa Rogers came down for conference weekend! Jaxon really loves his grandparents!...I mean, what's not to love? But Jaxon REALLY has a love for his grandpas...he wants to be their shadow when they are around...and I'm pretty sure they LOVE IT TOO!!
We've been playing outside a lot because the weather is so gorgeous (uncharectoristically cool for this time in October) so we are taking advantage. Sometimes when we don't want to go far (I don't want to go far) Jaxon plays in the driveway and is often joined by our little neighbor.
Dude, why is the driveway SO DIRTY??? (yup, I sure did let him eat those pretzels!)
In the bathtub...yet still filthy...
Oh yes, and just still has only one speed...

I'm obsessed...
...with my GARDEN! Seriously, it is absolutely amazing me. Yesterday I got home after dark, after being gone most of the day, and the first thing I did was search the house for a working flashlight, and then batteries, so I could go out and check it's progress. Just yesterday morning when I posted I only had 2 little shoots up...now I have 15 or 20 and it is seriously a miracle to watch these little tiny seeds sprout and change so quicky...(I know. I know. Clearly I need to get pregnant as soon as possible so that some of this weird fixation could be transfered to a baby where it wouldn't be So weird...) Anyways... I am so excited and awed that soon we are actually going to be able to pick and eat vegetables that I GREW! Maybe I am a horticulturist at heart...but let's be serious, I don't need another hobby.
(Pictures to come!)
