if you're happy & you know it

Today Tika was hired to babysit her cousin Reid in Spanish Fork. I took her down there cause I figured that I could just hang out with Melinda while she organized the garage. Or at least try to help...Well it turns out I was more in the way than anything...I think! (sorry melinda!) Anyway - Reid is so cute - When Rod would sing the song, "when you're happy & you know it" and he got to the "clap your hands" part, Reid claps his little hands. So dang cute. Anyway, these 3 pics are from us @ their house this afternoon. Tika stayed for a couple hours longer and Carsun & I headed up the canyon so I could get to work. We had to make a quick pit stop and while getting back into the van Carsun goes, "what the..." As I looked back at her she was gagging at her shoe. What do you know---she stepped on someones wad of minty gum and wiped it on the mat of the van to get it off of the bottom of her shoe. Now, you must understand that I, myself am a "gagger". There are things that just make me gag. For instance: snot, teeth being brushed, the smell of ramen noodles cooking, Justin making a "throwing up " noise...these are a few things that make me gag. And gum is another one of those things that makes me GAG! The smell, the sound, bubbles being blown with it. Ugh - I can't handle gum!
So immediately I roll down the windows and gag myself to the nearest car wash to spry the gag-making-material off of the mat. (I have to back track so you understand why I have these next 2 pictures on here...last night Carsun was helping mow the lawn and I said, "Let me go get my camera so I can take a picture of you." She glares at me and says, "Why-so you can put me on the blog? That's all you ever do - blog blog blog." So I chose to not take her picture since she is humiliated that I put her "plumber" pic's on the blog. Okay - now you're caught up...) Carsy asked if she could help spray off the mats, I handed her the sprayer gun and she looks at me and says, "Do you have your camera? Cause this would be a REALLY good one for the blog!"
and by the way - she threw away her shoes!
