Another funny conversation:
Zach: Daddy, what is a nit-wit ?
Mike: Its a person who isnt very smart. Kinda dumb.
Zach: So if your a nit-wit you work at Burger King, right?

Things I dont understand
Well, here it is again. The complaining.
I was asked to be the Scout Master, which is something Im not thrilled about.
I'll be honest, (since this is MY blog) I personally dont think the church should ask you to be involved in scouts as a "calling". Nationally, its a volunteer postition. You have to really love scouting to want to be involved becuase its so tedious and time consuming. I think its a great program for young men, but I dont think I should be guilted into saying YES to scouting becuase Im a member of my church. Yes I see the correlation of strong ethics and values with faith. I think its a great program for boys. However; I (a woman ) dont want ANYTHING to do with scouts personally. Frankly, I feel like I said yes only to not appear difficult. After all, Im new and its the first assignment I've been given. I am dreading it...
And since Im murmmering--
Whats with people thinking I need to know everything about them by their bumper sticker, tweets, and facebook status. I get it, Bin Laden was killed...big news. Your choice of breakfast cereal and what episode of The Office you are gonna watch tonight...not news. I dont care.
Why do women think fake nails make them look prettier? I swear, I've seen more ladies with fake nails in the past month than I have in my lifetime. When I see long fake nails on women I think of :
1. This creepy scene in the movie "Something Wicked This way Comes" where the scary guy makes his own hand bleed with his long nails.
2. Nicodemus, the Rat from the Secret of Nimh movie.
3. Old ladies with long straggly hair, sitting in opium smoke filled rooms holding thier pipes.
And this:
I dont understand why they charge so much for a container that is suppose to hold spegetti. Have you ever gone to buy a pasta keeper? Gesh, its like highway robbery.
I dont understand how people can eat hummus. Not only is the texture nasty looking but it smells like surfboard wax. - And why, why, why does Costco insist on giving it to old people at tasting carts? And why,why, why do I always end up standing behind the man who ate too much hummus and has horrible GAS and a seasame seed from the cracker stuck in his tooth?
Why do they have these stupid dolls for boys?My boys want one and I think they are sending a bad message. About pirates. And dolls. And, ok I just dont like them.
I dont understand this at all. Was this a joke? They didnt really think they looked good right?
Ok, enough. Im just getting it all out there. :)

I dont understand why I am totally addicted to watching HOARDERS. When all I do is scream at the TV and gag while watching it.

Candy is Dandy, but Liquor is Quicker
The kids and I were watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The original version with Gene Wilder, not the lousy version with Johnny Depp. In my opinion Ompa Lompas just arent the same in the newer version.There outfits are so much cooler in the first movie.Plus, the music in the original is just so "classic" and full of wisdom.:)
"Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat?
Blaming the kids is a lion of shame
You know exactly who's to blame:
The mother and the father! "

Anyway, I listened to the following conversation and laughed my head off.
Tanner: I wish I had a chocolate factory. With trees made of candy.
Zach: You would be so fat. Like the lunch lady at school.
Tanner: She isnt fat Zach. She just has big pants
Zach: Tanner, she has big pants becuase she is so fat. AND her name is Mrs. Largie.
Just FYI: Her name is Mrs. Margie.

Asher Turns 3
I am getting really bad at remembering to take pictures. ( I forgot to take pictures easter morning?!? Lugging around a newborn might have something to do with that!)Here are a few shots of Ashers Birthday. Grandpa Banzhaf and Grandma Lori came up to celebrate with us. I picked up one of those "death by chocolate" fudge cakes at Costco and then just added some polkadots and candles to it.
Asher loves Disney anything. Especially Toy Story and Mickey Mouse. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and he said " I go to Disneyland with Zach and Nanner".
I wish we could have gone to Disney. I LOVE Disneyland. Its just not in the budget this year. He did get some fun presents and alot of love from the family.
Asher is one of the sweetest kids I know. He is very cuddly and gives lots of kisses all the time. His Daddy is his best friend. They love to go on long bike rides together. Happy Birthday Asher.

Isnt that a kick in the ...
You will never believe what we found.
Our front room is 22 ft high. Its hard to reach anything. Even with a ladder. Mike was trying to see the dust layer up on one of the window ledges. Guess what he saw:
If you don't know what it is, ask a man. I cant stop laughing. And dry heaving.

Spring is Bustin out all over
Here are a few pics of April happenings thus far.
Growing and growing
Trimming and planting around the yard
Swimming in the pool
Happy that the pool is cool on April 1st. It was nearly 100 degrees
New dishwasher. Washing dishes was a joke in the other one
Painting the chocolate walls Natural Linen. Brightening the mood and feel of the whole house!
My first scorpion in the house. I freaked!
