hey friends!

In one of Bunnies fine art painting classes where she was exploring how to paint bright colours, she accidently painted a penis. Can you see it too? Ha hahahahahahahaha, we at p-cute have been laughing and laughing about this, especially Dan. It is particularly funny because the assignment was harmless really, she was to paint the mound of toys the professor had aesthetically arranged for his eager students. Bunny says the penis was really a "foam letter J" and that other alphabet letters were present too. This letter just happened to be flesh toned and Bunny and her classmates were oblivious to what she really had painted. Bunny didn't realize it until she opened her suitcase here under the sea and was like "what is that poking out of my suitcase? I don't own one of those." She was saddened by her realization because she was going to give the painting to Betina for a toy room. It's bright, colourful, and cheery, and phallic. Ha hahahahahaha! We love us our Rabbit :).

Christmas parties! Here is Dan and I on our way to my work Christmas party where much bowling and sirloin eating took place. It was lots of fun. Sorry about the blurry picture, Nunu took it. She is going to be upset about that comment, ha ha, I kill myself I am so funny.

Another blurry picture by Dan of me and Nunu about to go to a friend Christmas party. Tis the season! I also have to give credit where credit is due, Nunu curled my hairs like that. It is one of her v. special talents. I reserve her weeks in advance to do it sometimes.

Just some documentation of all the milk consume here. It is a lot. We get 25cents a kick for recycling those buggers. We have a huge collection.

Meh-rii Chir-sa-mut as they say in Thai

I much enjoyed this day. For I have a new position at my place of employment which gives me some personal freedom. With this new freedom (read overtime hours)I was able to take the afternoon off! Woot woot my friends. I was out of there like butter at 12:30pm. I relished the no traffic drive home speeding down Crowfoot as fast as I jolly well pleased, not even being bothered by all the sh*$ that was being splashed on my windshield due to slushy roads, because you know what, afternoon off!! No traffic!! Oh such is the life. I made it home in a record time of 15 minutes and for a second I thought it was summertime- well not really, but it was summertime commute time. It was splendid. I walked in the door and what did I do? Why wrap presents of course. It is nearly the Christmas time after all. Then I headed out the door to find treasures for Dan's stocking. He already filled mine and hung it with care, can you believe that? I cannot. Now I know the shape and dimensions of that sock and my mind is spinning trying to guess what it is all the while making myself keep my grubby paws off it.

Anyways.

Dan is trying to give me eggnog kisses and it is making me want to barf. That stuff is yelch. He mixed it with my Diet Pepsi. Diet Egg. He said it wasn't good so if you ever for some crazy reason get that idea in your head just don't do it. He much prefers Egg Beer. Double barf-yelch.

Here are things my mother used to say to express her frustrations while we were kids, please excuse the racial slurs, she really isn't like that and I like to think she really didn't know what they meant anyways she was just at wits end and had no choice but to use them instead of cuss words:

"Cotton pick!"
"Ey yi yi yii!"
"You kids, always taking my good material scissors!"
"What in sam hill?!"
"Lord love a duck!"
"Stop wandering around like lost Jew!"
"I'm trying to be a good Christian Woman!"

Those are all I can think of for now... sisters, please add any you can think of in the comment section as I would like to laugh.

Tonight Little Bunny Fu Fu is coming to town! Hello dreads and good food! I cannot wait. That little rabbit has been too far away for too long.

Champ

Eve had little baby Dixie Mae yesterday! She got that little girl out in 3 1/2 hours, geeze that girl, what a champ! I talked to her a few hours after she gave birth and she was up at at em' like you wouldn't believe it. I am so proud of you Eve and can't wait to meet that little munchkin.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. -Buddy

Or by decorating cookies with the siblings and your own real life Buddy the Elf, Dan. He put us way behind on the cookie quota. In fact, out of a whole batch of sugar cookies he finished only 5. 5! blasted cookies!! That will never do.

I am on at least number 8, I am sure of it. And we are only mintues in.

At the end of his hard work, Dan had an Eggnog dessert. His favorite is to mix it with Rootbeer, then it turns into Egg Beer. Just kidding, they call it Rootnog. Yelch is all I have to say about that.

While the rest of us continue our hard work. Look at my cute siblings all in stripes.

The Bunh Bunh was there in spirit.

Cookie Monsters Favorite Cookie Dough

3/4 cup butter (room temp)

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla
cream together then add:

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Chill dough for at least 1 hr, roll out on floured surface but don't roll it too thin! Get out the cookie cutters and go to town!

Bake at 375F (I think) 5-8 minutes.

Story Time

Photographic proof that this lil' guy love his uncle:

1. He likes Dan's book better than his own.

2. He likes to do everything Dan does.

3. Dan can captivate little Caden and teach him about sharing for at least 3 photos.

Don't worry Uncle Luke, he loves you just as much, he just doesn't know it yet :)

Thinking Out Loud

Gosh, does School of Rock rock your world like it does mine? It should. And also Elf should too. Other family friendly movies that are quality include, but are not limited to: Father Of The Bride and Home Alone. And then there is Saved which is just great but probably not for 12 year olds.

And also, if not only one but two of you friend co-workers say things like "I just don't picture you going to church" or "you are the most liberal Mormon I know..." should one be alarmed? I don't know, part of me thinks maybe I should pray harder but then, why not? Even if I did pray harder I am sure I, like my sisters, I am bound to let out a little scarcasim during inappropriate times no matter how hard I tried not too. Le Sigh.

Dan keeps trying to get me to go to sleep, No! I am posting pictures!!

Hello friends. Some exciting news on p-cute front: I am not dead! After having the flu all last week I am finally feeling better so I can blog to you, my dears. Happy birthday to my MIL today. I made her this super cute (lopsided) black forest cake that was v. good and she enjoyed it v. much. I got to see my brother that I like, I went shopping with the schmoo (Nunu), was v. impressed with our wards (early) Christmas party, and got to attend a fireside with none other than Richard G. Scott himself. All that in one weekend! AND, Kassie had her baby! He is simply delicious as Anne with an E would say. I am so happy for her and can't wait to meet him. Please see my links list under KASS to see pictures of the big boy.

The birthday girl with little Maya (she is getting so big and so cute (Maya that is)!)
Oh, why hello yummy yummy cake.

You again!

Have a nice week. xoxo.

on food

I went to the grocery store the other day. I was probably feeling somewhat bothered because I was thinking about how much milk and cheese we now consume. Or maybe I was thinking of the night I came home from an especially relaxing yoga class, stopping at the grocery store first to pick up a few necessary items and then came home and threw a mini fit about having to buy so much food and how hard it was to carry such awkward items. I don't know. But for some reason, the last time I went into the grocery store I was in a particularly prickley mood and was hence drawn to an especially prickley pineapple. Hawt dang! Eating that pineapple was almost as good as being in Aruba. Let me tell you, next time I want a tropical vacation and all my vacation time is spent, I shall purchase another pineapple, painstakingly chop it up and feel like I cashed in my Airmiles. Pineapple does good things to the soul.

Also about food. Pinto beans. Mmmmmmmmmm. I recently soaked some and then cooked them up all day in the slow cooker with some salt and garlic. My goodness. That legume. It also does something to my soul. The earthly, rich taste lends itself so swimmingly to rice, a wedge of avacodo, sauted onion and carrot, with a dollop of sour cream. Dude, I could eat that every other day without boredom. Sometimes I forget how amazing simple food is.

I shouldn't complain about milk and cheese. After all, I did just search the city far and wide to suprise Dan with a wonderful cheese my friend recently introduced me too. Pops and I were on a crusade for Le Dauphin. No, not the Prince of France, but a cheese that Louis XIV enjoyed so much he allowed it to be named after his son. Anyways, it was great on fresh baguette, and I like food.

For a good laugh go to youtube and search steve carell bruce almighty. I would have put the video here and all but that takes too much time.

When it rains it pours..... pictures!

First manner of business- Jana had her baby girl, Maya (May-ah) October 10- which is the same birthday as Sassy Kass (happy belated birthday you). Way to go Jana! I think my facebook advice to her was to push hard- and she took it cause Maya is out! Maya is really beautiful and lets you snuggle her the whole time you hold her. I am so excited for smiles, as I am sure my SIL is too- after all these 2hr sleep nights.

While Jana delivered her homemade baby, I delivered my homemade cinnamon buns to a select few. And did you know, cinnamon buns aren't even that hard to make. Who'd a thought?

I really like fried rice. I always try to make it taste Thai, but of course, it doesn't, but I like it, just in a different way. Same same but different.

Happy Birthday p-cute! Me and heart-er on my birthday. We stayed at The Fox in Banff for two nights. It was AWESOME. Dan and I watched so much Food Network that I am pretty sure I could whip up practically anything while doing a 3D pumpkin carving at the same time. It taught me so well. We also did other stuff that was awesome as well. ...

Here lies a picture of us grace a la bathroom mirror. It took awhile to get the angle just right. That man is just so flippin' tall and I so short. And Dan cut his hair as a birthday suprise for me. I love him.


Oh Banff, how beautiful you are- you and your majestic mountains. And to think, we live only an hour away.

We need to visit you more. I promise we will.

Banff is full of kitchy toursit stores. Here is a candy store. We made out with some of my favorite gummie bears, Haribo, and enjoyed them while watching The Food Network and sprawling out on our huge massive bed.

And with this sweet picture, in front of Cadbury goodness, I wish you a goodnight.

ps- I have learned that Vic Mackey must fall. There is no other way. Tear.
