Mackay Madness: My "feet" say... "ahhhhhhh"!

My "feet" say... "ahhhhhhh"!

My feet are so happy in my new running shoes. Some guy at the running store told Brandon that these shoes are amazing, and most people don't know about them. So he ordered me a pair and had them shipped to the house. I haven't taken them off since I got them...except to go to church, and even then it was a toss up. Thanks Hun, it's like walking on a cloud. I can get so much done in a day with these "magic" shoes!

Rogers Family Blog said...: Hi, Liz. It's your "twin", Kelli. I thought I'd check out what my other half is doing and what do you have on your post? Running shoes! I think we really do have some things in common...; April 16, 2008 at 8:34 AM
Natali Thompson said...: Those look super comfy...and WAY cute! I love anything with pink on them. I am always on the look out for good running shoes-I might have to check them out. Funny Kell- you two really are SO similar!; April 16, 2008 at 10:22 AM
jenn said...: I think this is the brand Margo wears. If so, then you know they're good! I'm pretty sure Chris tried them out too, but I think they hurt his massive arches...he, he!

They look so cute and tiny on you! Shoes pretty much just look ridiculous on my freakin huge feet! Love the pink...good job, Brandon!; April 16, 2008 at 3:20 PM
Bell Family said...: haha...Kell's comment is sooo true. Your so lucky to know your twin. What a nice thing that Mr. Brandon did. Can he talk to Sam??; April 16, 2008 at 10:45 PM
jenn said...: About the blogging tag...it's mostly just a fun way for other people to learn more about you. They (meaning the tags) are usually specific to certain topics or questions...sometimes they are about you and your husband or abc questions or something like that. This one though is rather easy and just requires you to list 6 random facts or habits about yourself.

You can check out Cassie's original tag on her blog for idea's or I have another tag I did recently on my blog too. Don't worry your pretty little head over it...it's just for fun! =) (plus, I think it's a great way to document who you are and will be really fun to read in a few years!)

So drum up 6 fun things about you, do a post about it, and then "tag" 6 of your friends! Easy-peasy. xoxo; April 16, 2008 at 11:21 PM

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
