When your a kid.....

You do some crazy things.
I pooped in a Ziploc bag. That's right my peeps. I had to go really bad while me and my mom were getting the kids from school.
There was no bathroom.
There was no bush.
Only one gallon size Ziploc bag full of sugar snap peas. So I squatted right there between the bucket seats of my sweet ride. My mom held the bag. She's the best.
I got it all in there. What next? She found a pair of socks and used that to clean me up.
It. was. awesome.

• This is not THE Ziploc bag. My mom is cheap, but even she has her limits.

Love, Eli


p.s. This story is about Eli pooping in the bag. NOT ME. I think there may have been some confusion. Though if it were me....I probably still would of shared.

After Santa came
I got Daegan some cologne and a evil roy steel target.
He got me an IPOD touch. My first IPOD!

Our tree died 4 days before Christmas. It. looked. awful.
So we threw it out and picked up this little beauty to get us to Christmas.

check it.........Christmas Card.

We haven't had family pictures taken for 3 years. SO, this is what you get. The neighbor girl snapping a picture of us in front of the house. We were on our way to church.
Maybe next year.
BTW.....I have my braces off. YEAH!

Family camping trip

I don't mind camping.....for a short period of time. Like 1 MAYBE 2 nights. I enjoy the rugged outdoors, fresh air, peeing by the tree just as much as the next girl.
It took us what seemed like forever to get to our sight. You see, the mountains are only on 1 side of Denver. We live on the other side. The Kansas side.

I was probably sipping my Diet Coke while Daegan was setting up camp.





I don't want to brag but I have a pretty good aim when it comes to shooting.
I probably was taking down a grizzly in this pic. I shot so many things it's hard to remember.
