Sharing these little moments with the ones I love make it all worth it :) I love him so much I want to kiss his face off, at least that what I always tell him. Maybe that's why he's pulling all the faces.

Well... that's because I can. I am the owner, author of this blog and I have not been outvoted by those male species that dominate my house and leave the seats on the toilet up and insist the channel be left on ESPN :)Alana Langehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14839339293260105106noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857457032984183901.post-34576361417216715962010-03-09T16:49:00.000-08:002010-03-09T21:29:29.608-08:00Alright, alright, I'll update the blog!I know, I know, stop with the nagging! I'm updating right now. Just so you know that was me talking to myself. I have been nagging myself to update this blog for sometime now, so I'm finally doing it!<br /><br /><div><div><div>For starters I should be posting something about my family and how great my great children are and how awesome my awesome husband is, BUT I'm not. I know weird huh, cause I could go on and on. I am posting something purely selfish because, well....because I want to. </div><div></div><div>Every year I have what I like to call a "super bowl for women" party aka: Miss America party. I try to invite my neighbors and anyone else that like to indulge in the Miss America pageant. Last year I was new in the neighborhood, so attendance was small w<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">hich</span></span> was to be expected. But this year I had a pretty good turn out. </div><div></div><div>Here's how it works just in case you want to have your own Miss America party. Everyone comes with a treat or snack to share. Wear your pj's or something comfy so you can eat a lot and not have to undo your pants. Third you bring 5 dollars (this is not gambling, even though my husband thinks it is) Then we put all the money in a big bowl and when the top 15 are announced we write all the names down and each person draws out a name. Luckily we had exactly 15 at the party, so that helps. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Anywho</span>,</span> the person that you draw out is who you are for the rest of the night. It's all luck and has nothing to do with gambling (the bishops wife was there, so I'm pretty sure I would ha<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">ve</span></span> been called in to his office by now if it was) sarcasm, some people don't get mine. We spend the rest of night picking (critiquing) on each other. Let's just say from the picture of me singing below...there was plenty to pick on. It was fun, fun, fun and if you want to join the fun, let me know and I'll put you on the calendar for next year ;) The winner takes home the whole slew of money! </div><br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvnCuIbedAKccQqpkpyiywCxrdlCj8tR8d0gQYEBCQDoagyTNiODmEqh9zMXBqfh9DvThOkophguxmKHRGF0ZFqaU4vSpQRWeZY_Cagd5pgETnB0o4058Tw79ffepnTTr9PA1501Fnoc/s1600-h/DSC_4468.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446804625766139058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvnCuIbedAKccQqpkpyiywCxrdlCj8tR8d0gQYEBCQDoagyTNiODmEqh9zMXBqfh9DvThOkophguxmKHRGF0ZFqaU4vSpQRWeZY_Cagd5pgETnB0o4058Tw79ffepnTTr9PA1501Fnoc/s400/DSC_4468.JPG" /></a></div><div>Let's get this party started.

As soon as we got to Nibley I was called back into relief society. Well about three weeks ago I was called back into young womans and it has really been fun. For one of YW activities we went to this man made waterslide. We had so much fun and Bret and boys decided they needed to be one of the young women. I feel really bad I didn't get any pictures of Cade and Alec, I thought I did! I think it looks like a fun place to have a family reunion...<br /><br />It doesn't look that steep but once you got to the top it was pretty scary.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GfAwG2kbdAGtBJxodYbbywgkQ6-Q9t5zXlnwLDK3mPnZosrlyv1KEIm_ejGYY13Kgd-uAh2U0uoTp66pyLCpvv1wpAabl4sC-m9c_hR-SV533fTsju6NguOfRjWxNR0c3nbQIlDel2E/s1600-h/DSC_2382.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367440622318715154" style="WIDTH: 186px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GfAwG2kbdAGtBJxodYbbywgkQ6-Q9t5zXlnwLDK3mPnZosrlyv1KEIm_ejGYY13Kgd-uAh2U0uoTp66pyLCpvv1wpAabl4sC-m9c_hR-SV533fTsju6NguOfRjWxNR0c3nbQIlDel2E/s400/DSC_2382.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNptvJlfQbyrwe6hLDN2Jf0a4rW-kvoULedgFeWeooOIzV2AmNlThbsx8WwE5XPxuOudAzc6V-3GklCd879ZqKZyk9VoswRb0Jxi8ZGx2jPm3cN5smXnqvxlLWKBe4oNKk4L8djE0PBKM/s1600-h/DSC_2437.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367440616098655426" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNptvJlfQbyrwe6hLDN2Jf0a4rW-kvoULedgFeWeooOIzV2AmNlThbsx8WwE5XPxuOudAzc6V-3GklCd879ZqKZyk9VoswRb0Jxi8ZGx2jPm3cN5smXnqvxlLWKBe4oNKk4L8djE0PBKM/s400/DSC_2437.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Dawson's face says it all...he was pretty scared.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUM-91jZfFcvarFHltq1_xj0F1LJ-F5TxbfgYJ2sTVRddPav8pdXiKN3TRoYPndt5i_tfYyvg3tKtlNT_v1EnWgHC1dwjFw_Y2TOH7zHxQPonnw1wW1r2UB6Trk9cV9L80DVLXV6LBCwo/s1600-h/DSC_2452.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367440610760281746" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 210px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUM-91jZfFcvarFHltq1_xj0F1LJ-F5TxbfgYJ2sTVRddPav8pdXiKN3TRoYPndt5i_tfYyvg3tKtlNT_v1EnWgHC1dwjFw_Y2TOH7zHxQPonnw1wW1r2UB6Trk9cV9L80DVLXV6LBCwo/s400/DSC_2452.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIwDGNTTtIEwyc3HOIF14ccLKcFrnfdqpF7Hgt5T1DwoKKk6_NDGeArgJizX4MLjshBMz5lDnKiG9TMAZIcpbJyEqzTaxJUD9YFCTbZdShxq1Es6Y-Q19JVB-9c6kZf_vAumxARYcJA8/s1600-h/DSC_2455.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367440608912157698" style="WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIwDGNTTtIEwyc3HOIF14ccLKcFrnfdqpF7Hgt5T1DwoKKk6_NDGeArgJizX4MLjshBMz5lDnKiG9TMAZIcpbJyEqzTaxJUD9YFCTbZdShxq1Es6Y-Q19JVB-9c6kZf_vAumxARYcJA8/s400/DSC_2455.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />And...here is a picture of the bagel, it has been requested often.

As our kids start to get older we realize there are fewer and fewer activities that we ALL want to do at the same time. Aaron would prefer to go cliff jumping (which consists of him doing a back flip off a 60 foot cliff) at the lake. Alec on the other had would prefer to engage in a rough game of flag football. Cade would prefer riding his bike down the street to sift through the dumpsters to see what treasures he can find. Dawson likes to spend time with his "girlfriend" (don't ask) he and Sienna like to swim in our pool, ride her horse and ride their bikes. One activity we all agree upon is a good firework display. Our little town was celebrating heritage days and they put on a little firework show. We were lucky enough to have it go off in our back yard. We all sat in the swing and watched the fireworks from our back porch. Bret was in Kansas helping a friend load some books, so even though I was missing him like crazy we still had fun. I decided to get out my camera and try and get some shots of the fireworks. I adjusted my settings and placed the camera on a tripod so I could get a "perfect" firework picture. After a while a gave up and gave the camera to Cade. WOW, this is what he got, Aaron took a couple too. We are having them blown up for their rooms. I thought they did a pretty good job at catching some abstract, cool, artisitc pics! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!Alana Langehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14839339293260105106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857457032984183901.post-88773337698856553192009-06-26T23:09:00.000-07:002009-06-28T11:16:48.249-07:00A walk down memory lane....This is where I got to spend my week!

Not only is it one of my favorite lakes, this is also where Bret and I spent our second date all the way back in 1990. He packed a picnic, loaded the back of his truck with leftover 2x4's from the lumber yard he worked at and headed to the lake. Against my better judgement he drove right up to the edge of the lake and we "accidentally" got stuck. Hmmm... how convenient. :) We spent the next couple of hours talking about where we saw our lives going, little did we know then; we would go there together. After staying out much later than we should, we decided we better try and get out. I posted a couple of pictures of us trying to get out. Thank heavens we had all that lumber to help us get the truck out.<br /><br /><div><div><div><br />Here is a picture of Bret and the way we slid the lumber under the truck to try and give us some traction. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggiFEUGT6sysR595GmbrN-14LBpSd8VsJcu7NqYmDBwD_tL6HCwpGmEwuHujv6PDG4oSmH_wVEqaF0-hYOosWu0-wMeywBM9VyEBEM-CT4rsKWxXVkauF1TZgV9-bla5CQuH9UY_XphxQ/s1600-h/scan0002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351892032309878130" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 287px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggiFEUGT6sysR595GmbrN-14LBpSd8VsJcu7NqYmDBwD_tL6HCwpGmEwuHujv6PDG4oSmH_wVEqaF0-hYOosWu0-wMeywBM9VyEBEM-CT4rsKWxXVkauF1TZgV9-bla5CQuH9UY_XphxQ/s400/scan0002.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div>Here I am covered in mud, nevermind that I bought brand new black leather boots for the big date. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YklYK-uphilQZXJQIE_yrD2TghHiClcE6Cvp4HbiXfgYu5tIxlokDsclwnnKuNLx5Q0vGYDs8SDp-DOoCWySfsWCPts1YNztu3QvU5zkMx8-eOQdMFHnzL_WNNlN1Rca5aGpZJNm_do/s1600-h/scan0001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351892920194734898" style="WIDTH: 276px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3YklYK-uphilQZXJQIE_yrD2TghHiClcE6Cvp4HbiXfgYu5tIxlokDsclwnnKuNLx5Q0vGYDs8SDp-DOoCWySfsWCPts1YNztu3QvU5zkMx8-eOQdMFHnzL_WNNlN1Rca5aGpZJNm_do/s400/scan0001.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1Y1jLJUExZIuFnJ66yklh7GtSwWg6sTvON1G4ZPEmBMQgW5GeOQDG7zau6YcQ92zTMsv4yxs6IW21QDzDy_szcCyNdzXx-Uvsh1oHuS0pKMMW7WulMhMifSy4xQIsazGXohSsOUlx7g/s1600-h/DSC_7105.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351895396733760034" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1Y1jLJUExZIuFnJ66yklh7GtSwWg6sTvON1G4ZPEmBMQgW5GeOQDG7zau6YcQ92zTMsv4yxs6IW21QDzDy_szcCyNdzXx-Uvsh1oHuS0pKMMW7WulMhMifSy4xQIsazGXohSsOUlx7g/s400/DSC_7105.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div>Spending the week up there thinking about that date we had that night made me think about our lives and our marriage and how it's been a lot like that date we had when we were young and naive.

When I saw the back of the dog kennel I thought for sure Bret had given in and got the boys a black lab, but I was wrong. They found this poor little ground hog and chased it around until they caught it. It was wet and shivering in the cage, so after admiring the the poor little thing for a while we let it go. Check out Copper in Alec's arms, he is rip raring ready to chase that little ground hog back into his hole, even though copper is 84 years old in dog years. It does kinda <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">creep</span> me out thinking there is a groundhog in our yard and he could <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">emerge</span> at any moment and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">gnaw</span> my legs off.

We call him our little "pet" and he gets whatever he wants. He brightens our house and he can get away with so much because he makes us laugh. Yes, he gets candy everytime we go to the store, yes he sleeps in the middle of mom and dad every night, yes he get's whatever he wants from his brothers. He is spoiled and he knows it. He is curious, smart and adventureous. This picture of him from top to bottom seems to say it all... We all agree that we cannot cut his hair because his big hair is who he is, so his big shaggy hair will stay for now. A dirty shirt usually worn inside out or backwards. His favorite pants (size 2T) because he said they are just "really comfy", I've tried throwing them away, but he always digs them out and pulls them back on. His velcro fastened "fast shoes" that smell like wet dog because he never wears socks. And last but certainly not least I can almost guarantee IF he has underwear on, it is on backwards because it just "feels better". But despite all these four year old isms we love him more than one could ever imagine. He learned to ride his bike today and we've had a hard time convicing him to get off and take a break. I love four year olds and he just happens to be my favorite. </div><div><br /> </div><div style="CLEAR: both"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFpjD6XRAjgC1D9CMrghCfRuXwa6BHqPbPhiCeHgQmFwWUsvvnRcvSQZobVQDU7rV1gyFG0VUfez1rVCwngpH65eNQbCszlk34OKka2GeGXf2m4Qbnq7f02FaZ8TH8P75cu56oDE_yBV4/s1600-h/DSC_9154.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333302139767756418" style="WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFpjD6XRAjgC1D9CMrghCfRuXwa6BHqPbPhiCeHgQmFwWUsvvnRcvSQZobVQDU7rV1gyFG0VUfez1rVCwngpH65eNQbCszlk34OKka2GeGXf2m4Qbnq7f02FaZ8TH8P75cu56oDE_yBV4/s400/DSC_9154.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievOZ4z9khkpsCc-tJnlv4r2QgU7yw0fwS0I0_f-UsrsuibtPdSLvCZVJgFBovv3DxeyBhfSOU8fXAhposkRBz-C9G773VLG59ClfrEiuoulHDS8ZQVwABupXJ3izsYuJvP35CdEWqb3E/s1600-h/DSC_9152.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievOZ4z9khkpsCc-tJnlv4r2QgU7yw0fwS0I0_f-UsrsuibtPdSLvCZVJgFBovv3DxeyBhfSOU8fXAhposkRBz-C9G773VLG59ClfrEiuoulHDS8ZQVwABupXJ3izsYuJvP35CdEWqb3E/s400/DSC_9152.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Alana Langehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14839339293260105106noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857457032984183901.post-67460813832040470932009-04-24T13:54:00.000-07:002009-04-24T14:43:02.564-07:00Alec turns 12!!I cannot believe my sweet little, perfect, innocent, angelic, favorite, great student, obedient child turned twelve.

We have an awesome 2nd couselor and she has a great enrichment committee and it turned out to be a great night. I thought I would share a little video I put together. Our theme was "Live like you believe", so I have been taking pictures of sisters in our ward for the past month and then I put it to music and words. This is mostly to show my sister Maria for an idea for her RS, but everyone is welcome to watch! It was a crazy day: I shot a wedding in the morning at the temple, then went to the church to set up the projector, then went to the wedding reception and took more pictures, then ran to enrichment hurried and ate dinner and played the slide show and with 15 minutes to spare I ran back to the reception to get pictures of the couple cutting the cake and dancing, then I ran back to the church to clean up all the electrical equipment. whew. When I woke up for work this morning I had a sore throat, I knew it was only a matter of time because everyone in my house has had strep throat, so I started on an antibiotic and I'm feeling much better. Heavenly Father knew I could not get sick until AFTER my crazy day and I am grateful for that!<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-d44aad790097a3be height=266 width=320 contentId="d44aad790097a3be"></OBJECT>Alana Langehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14839339293260105106noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857457032984183901.post-63288030334886684232009-03-09T22:57:00.000-07:002009-03-10T07:52:27.750-07:00Over 20 inches...Where is spring???This is a picture of our grill when I got home from school.

A fifth grade teacher from Nibley elementary was killed in the line of duty while in Iraq. I didn't know him personally but I did know his wife, she went to Mountain Crest. He decided to enlist in the Army and serve his country a year and half ago. I have heard so many good things about him this week. On Wednesday, the day of his funeral, I pulled out to go to work and this is what I saw on the road in front of our house. The entire road was completely lined with flags on both sides. The pictures really do not do it justice, it was a beautiful sight. Hundreds of flags every five feet in both directions for as far as you could see. By the time I got to the end of the street I had tears in my eyes as I thought about my comfortable life in my heated car, while others are risking their lives to make mine so easy. I have such a respect for the men and women that serve our country. <br /><div></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyT5YGhghNje_FJ5_hkIYNS6xBxHlBOF59xUGAnqtygriw4w2Bb1ABe6k9KM5nL3isTelz_dP4TZ1LgB1Lo8_P6RHQULqaoDWX2cGhK90xwD_CLN26a-kjkw12raadsp4KwxlAV1CU0e4/s1600-h/DSC_0209.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309955918535546754" style="WIDTH: 294px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyT5YGhghNje_FJ5_hkIYNS6xBxHlBOF59xUGAnqtygriw4w2Bb1ABe6k9KM5nL3isTelz_dP4TZ1LgB1Lo8_P6RHQULqaoDWX2cGhK90xwD_CLN26a-kjkw12raadsp4KwxlAV1CU0e4/s400/DSC_0209.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOOcpEjKIEO9ChWBezZ2Cmr3q1Z0vc22_f5pqq15hamVhNsRMvWCRi3zucMjpZM4d2iN6eh91gJ4XnwYSkpttsTfKF3iG1xANVD8ESWDRDhazXxnQ2AU7G9zzY0H9awzG7nzQ3ASPbU_k/s1600-h/DSC_0206.JPG"></a><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHWTIxccHiv50AfZB7AmKdzOxt_gAxMjdIoLzKD0e5utsPEtzvMELAU3WvQywpvAQuk3Bi-Lrszx-NaGoVAqszAaYHqCddvsPEYkps3JXSOWfGTLSPX8-3Uv2JhGlFT1ZxfnPZdLFiK4/s1600-h/DSC_0210.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHWTIxccHiv50AfZB7AmKdzOxt_gAxMjdIoLzKD0e5utsPEtzvMELAU3WvQywpvAQuk3Bi-Lrszx-NaGoVAqszAaYHqCddvsPEYkps3JXSOWfGTLSPX8-3Uv2JhGlFT1ZxfnPZdLFiK4/s320/DSC_0210.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXG0p3KLceCcR-jGCVcoPeTivMhUY5fizeL56KVNwnnhn1emW2FYRqE6y3fOlS4ATuS4Y7chuDFKqJPs9fSZfpW436I-3bP9yES6PFylEICYzyXf_MkrynaUaiNB6fgWBUhthkRBAMiUc/s1600-h/DSC_0213.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXG0p3KLceCcR-jGCVcoPeTivMhUY5fizeL56KVNwnnhn1emW2FYRqE6y3fOlS4ATuS4Y7chuDFKqJPs9fSZfpW436I-3bP9yES6PFylEICYzyXf_MkrynaUaiNB6fgWBUhthkRBAMiUc/s320/DSC_0213.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div> </div><div>This is a picture from the newspaper of his wife and one of his children.

Now I made you want to look anyway huh? Thursday night we made a little trip to the ER. We have our own room there with a plaque on the door that states, "This room was donated by the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Lange</span> boys" <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Ok</span>, so maybe there's no plaque but we sure have spent our fair share of money there! We actually got the only room we haven't ever been in. So now we can proudly say that we have graced every single room in the Logan Regional ER! We have had an array of injuries: broken arms, broken shoulder, cut off fingertips, cut eyelid, ferret bite to the lip, broken nose (Alec really did look like Beast from Beauty and Beast), lots and lots of staples in the head, appendix, sliced fingers, poisen in the eyes and the list keeps going. Now please put the phone down and don't call child protective services...these are just boys being boys! If any of you have more than one boy you know that what one won't think of the the other one will.<br /><div><div><div></div><div>It has been a while since we <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">donned</span> the emergency room and after <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">receiving</span> a couple of calls from the ER doctors telling us that they would like a new car, we decided, well rather Dawson decided he should fall off a chair and split his head open. We really needed to support the economy and give our fair share of money to the "doctor needs a new <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Mercedes</span> fund". So Dawson is just giving his service by donating to the greater good of mankind.

So this year is Aaron's 9th grade year, the year that counts on his transcript. So needless to say we have up our efforts to get Aaron to care about school. Aaron will say things like, "mom, wouldn't you rather have an average son?" "C's are great", "grades are over-rated" We have gone the round with him! So after Christmas break we really laid down the law and told him he better start doing better or else!<br /><br />Meanwhile, Alec, who loves learning, was posting a 4.0 and breezing through school with no help from us. It drives Aaron crazy that Alec does extra credit just to get a 127% in a class. The final straw came when Alec was chosen as Student of the month for February. Aaron just rolled his eyes and punched Alec in the arm as he walked by. (Bret tells me this is a boys way of showing love) I left Alec's certificate out on the counter so we could admire it for a while.<br /><br />Anyway Aaron really has been trying and putting forth more effort. Not a 4.0 but he really is trying. So yesterday in the mail we get a letter from Aaron's school, addressed to the parents of Aaron Lange. Aaron had a pale face as he tried to hide the letter. Finally he ripped it open and just stared at it. He had been chosen as student of the month for his school. That's right, student of the month! We all about died! We all took turns looking at the certificate and shaking our heads, including him. The teacher was really impressed with how much he had improved. I never thought I would see it in my lifetime...Aaron and Alec finally have something in common! Student of the month! Ok, I'm done bragging.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCeg7SUysRU_Pnsl5bSGugxpv-8zHm7voFzlJURSBrAAhGQ8Dp0bURZ-Upy4vzfgqmvoB9SDhzADzFC1cd-b7-4oveUPPUKHYApBci9dPk85I_PSj2Ibd-RYmVrdxFqkVuRibR_1mkrs/s1600-h/Picture+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305846118725568498" style="WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCeg7SUysRU_Pnsl5bSGugxpv-8zHm7voFzlJURSBrAAhGQ8Dp0bURZ-Upy4vzfgqmvoB9SDhzADzFC1cd-b7-4oveUPPUKHYApBci9dPk85I_PSj2Ibd-RYmVrdxFqkVuRibR_1mkrs/s320/Picture+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_0Lm7EBHM6xEXE20x3wJVnMJkTfMcCGQMDnnIviXv__lyyP_OvSP1oZdkiLISB-JI1tEj6thepYtRrENS88xvzRXrQXaXl0bxlFKkxq2byG8OHJw2XmEnHPoD20WiyR0l8wMO8xquX4/s1600-h/Picture+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305846116221561074" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 307px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_0Lm7EBHM6xEXE20x3wJVnMJkTfMcCGQMDnnIviXv__lyyP_OvSP1oZdkiLISB-JI1tEj6thepYtRrENS88xvzRXrQXaXl0bxlFKkxq2byG8OHJw2XmEnHPoD20WiyR0l8wMO8xquX4/s320/Picture+001.jpg" border="0" /></a>Alana Langehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14839339293260105106noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857457032984183901.post-7534485142931695882009-01-30T17:46:00.000-08:002009-01-30T18:55:47.216-08:00Nioquis!One of my students that graduated a few years ago just recently returned from a mission in Argentina. We just love Tycen, he is such a great person and my boys really look up to him as an example. So last Sunday he came over and showed us how to make Nioquis, a little potato pasta, that they eat in Argentina every month on the 29th. He told us we would need "a lot" of potatoes so Bret peeled an entire 10 pound bag. We had so much pasta, it was really fun!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7g8xSwrKI6S_AzJOGbJV9aabAzXQ1RpAGy6TtRPuxyHz6qGA6QO0lbjZA7dFP8sa-fw_MGYdEzTlBQO-fSsA94Ic5fxnL4jscd_zHZcYpZ6uiW3jSIRnY8ePGB5enX7MQ5TP79HW4uU/s1600-h/DSC_0455-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297270704948846082" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7g8xSwrKI6S_AzJOGbJV9aabAzXQ1RpAGy6TtRPuxyHz6qGA6QO0lbjZA7dFP8sa-fw_MGYdEzTlBQO-fSsA94Ic5fxnL4jscd_zHZcYpZ6uiW3jSIRnY8ePGB5enX7MQ5TP79HW4uU/s400/DSC_0455-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Tycen had no problem adjusting to non-missionary life, as displayed in this photo. How did he get so lucky to get so much help from two beautiful girls? Actually the one on the right is Michelle and they were really good friends in high school, she is married but her husband didn't get there until later. The girl on the left is Jessica and this is the one he is dating now.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297272398506920226" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghde-FzZNID-3dfUvg5ocwX0HVeaHwrWjZGBHdgr5jGQM256iqChkN2alDbs0vV7Wjhfl2WXzkbOQGBRoGLWC6OSPPAYfb-ooN0digcteGf9a9cyiAwYLVGXD80xxJ4iCFXeyOlNQP2oY/s400/DSC_0471-1.JPG" border="0" /><br />You boil potatoes add, seasoning, cilantro, garlic butter and mash them. Then you dump it on the counter and everyone helps knead flour in until it becomes a dough. Tycen said the only way to do it is with the whole family. So everyone was kneading at the same time, it was really fun.

It was a lot of fun and on the last day as we were going to the airport we drove through Hollywood and I got to snap a few pictures for FUN! It was nice to be able to just snap away at what I wanted. Here is a collage of some of the things I found interesting. The last picture is my favorite....scroll down to read why <br /><br /><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDB57jEMCInRm-83Bwwsnn9h_oJvbMUZl_gc2MqYCC9DpsnTHYexxxt8Bldtb13bpexNmq2ulNB9gMNLpfzjYha-LYd44uN188iriNAbeOdbx0x4e_kkHREI5RV4if7CaKTUbg6hNWujo/s1600-h/california.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDB57jEMCInRm-83Bwwsnn9h_oJvbMUZl_gc2MqYCC9DpsnTHYexxxt8Bldtb13bpexNmq2ulNB9gMNLpfzjYha-LYd44uN188iriNAbeOdbx0x4e_kkHREI5RV4if7CaKTUbg6hNWujo/s400/california.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> <div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div><br /><br />Generally when you think of hollywood, you think glamour, money and movie stars, but if you have ever been there, you look around and think, this is Hollywood? It is quite dirty and most people that live at lower income levels. That is why this is my favorite picture that I snapped from the car. I am calling it "The real faces of Hollywood" I love the fact that these everyday "real" people are standing in front of a wall of movie stars. Two totally different worlds...in the same place. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz4QsMxT-qb0wvvhQVcdlM7VUjTCmimsJdFqKWRSRw0GsI5OeL6kLFztr1ABaAaD2ZR_tXNKhn4UrT_W_wRbB1eoJtnQf9dcUY4nbZQKkyrx_xMic6jHsnDGzyTQ7PaSyTRDRGnyfLjrM/s1600-h/DSC_0733.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 243px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz4QsMxT-qb0wvvhQVcdlM7VUjTCmimsJdFqKWRSRw0GsI5OeL6kLFztr1ABaAaD2ZR_tXNKhn4UrT_W_wRbB1eoJtnQf9dcUY4nbZQKkyrx_xMic6jHsnDGzyTQ7PaSyTRDRGnyfLjrM/s400/DSC_0733.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290151495845433554" /></a><br /><br />The real faces of HollywoodAlana Langehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14839339293260105106noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857457032984183901.post-68727054871211680252009-01-10T20:00:00.000-08:002009-01-10T20:00:23.463-08:00Ca-Ching!Ok, so I'm TRYING to be a couponer. Another teacher is helping me get into it and so I thought I would give it a try. Wow, it was actually fun! So after printing and printing and printing coupons, I headed to the store. I took Aaron with me because I figured two heads are better than one, right? Haha, shoulda left him home, enough said. After all was said and done I ended up getting 432.62 worth of groceries for 96.30! Wahoo! Ok, now some of you seasoned couponers might be saying, whatever, I can do better than that! But for a beginner I thought that was pretty good. Also try not to judge me too harshly on the food storage selections...who needs fifty pounds of wheat when you have fify pounds of fruit snacks. Any of you interested in 50 ways to incorporate fruit snacks into a delicious dinner, I can send you the link. ;) <br /><br /><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeNqLtw3DItsO-BDQ1JYyXCNtSeM_gNOYWmCcl3PGaI3lwJ5tTrC6qgJBf2SrSZrjSxDczBwItLU-Rw-RlbUPq3GmP0QL7-gL5EIWSeV50gUp4Jsyl9QQx5516m4kzmGB9LsjiD9qh0Dk/s1600-h/DSC_0750.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeNqLtw3DItsO-BDQ1JYyXCNtSeM_gNOYWmCcl3PGaI3lwJ5tTrC6qgJBf2SrSZrjSxDczBwItLU-Rw-RlbUPq3GmP0QL7-gL5EIWSeV50gUp4Jsyl9QQx5516m4kzmGB9LsjiD9qh0Dk/s400/DSC_0750.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> <br /><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdJPwt6jzrF-5-SCvacSYi2hgcNGDAX2502-6Lz9wfFY53psrFVb6F1QasyrJ5Ak0VaDb7dHYo6ZsqDrefAqkHxK-bD6nnoYVmGOCIqx_Y1LNy5r66-a_yoF-V_KzZYpAPLr3_fQQ7NW0/s1600-h/DSC_0755.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdJPwt6jzrF-5-SCvacSYi2hgcNGDAX2502-6Lz9wfFY53psrFVb6F1QasyrJ5Ak0VaDb7dHYo6ZsqDrefAqkHxK-bD6nnoYVmGOCIqx_Y1LNy5r66-a_yoF-V_KzZYpAPLr3_fQQ7NW0/s400/DSC_0755.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> <div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Alana Langehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14839339293260105106noreply@blogger.com6
