Strange Coincidences?

Posted on October 14, 2013 by My Taylor Tales

I try to be politically correct most of the time. I do not like jokes in bad taste…normally. But this is my borderline inappropriate blog:

I have a professor that I am having a very difficult time figuring out how to get an A from him. So far I am a solid B to B+ and it’s not for lack of hours put in. I will not, however, divulge his name or even what the class is called for fear of……repercussion? A guy in my class sent me this photo of my professor and his twin:

I am not a Simpsons fan so I have no idea what this characters name is but look at the VERY strong resemblance!

Another strange coincidence that we’ve noticed in our lives lately is the race of our coaches this year. Now I know this would not be strange if we lived anywhere other than Draper UT – but I am pretty sure we’re working with the few:

So far their team is winning again. Fourth year of TT playing and fourth set of new coaches. He seems to land on winning teams. TT is getting a lot more play time in this year. He’s 1st string offense, defense and special teams.

This is B’s trainer he’s been working out with the last few months. He seems to be working miracles in B’s arms. I didn’t think his arms could ever get as big as they are right now. I will have to snap a photo to show you. Mike came out to watch TT’s game last week but sadly left just before TT made a great interception. I will have to replace this photo at some point because B does not like it.

Ari's coach and his daughter photo bombing...I was going to try and crop her out but I think it's one of the funniest I've seen.

I thought this post would be the appropriate place to end with a joke I heard this week:

A guy died and went to heaven and went through the pearly gates. There was a massive wall of clocks behind St. Peter. The guy asks what the clocks are for. St. Peter says everyone has a clock and it only moves if you tell a lie. There was a clock that had never moved, so the guy asked whose clock is that? Oh that’s Mother Theresa’s. Another clock had only moved twice and he asked whose clock that was? Oh that’s Abraham Lincoln’s. So the guy asks “where’s Obama’s clock?” And St. Peter said “Jesus hung it in his office as a ceiling fan.”

Lelu & Chan-Man Are All Grown Up

Posted on October 11, 2013 by My Taylor Tales

Is there anything wrong with living a little vicariously through your children? Oh my, did I have so much fun! Warning: a whole lot of photos in this post. Cherie and I have been friends for going on 15 years. Lelu and Chandler spent a lot of time together growing up. Now that Lelu can date, she really wanted to go to homecoming. I didn’t realize how much I wanted her to go too! So here’s how it all went down;

On a Monday night at about 10:15 there was a very loud knock on the door and this was left on the doorstep. The next morning I got a text from Cherie with the super disclaimer that Chandler came up with asking her on his own and obviously made the poster on his own – she would have made Lelu sugar cookies (her absolute favorite). I think It is way more fun this way – sorry Lelu no sugar cookies – but I love that neither of us moms orchestrated their date.

: Here’s her answer filled with marshmallows (she liked that better than rice)

Inside the marshmallows were these little power rangers because all Lelu remembers playing at Chandler’s house was power rangers – she was always pink. And we thought Bridger and Kenzie would like them too. Dropping this off was hilarious because we took the twins and Madison to answer and Chandler was in the garage working on his jeep and Cherie was in the driveway talking to her parents in their car and my kids thought they could somehow still pull it off in stealth – needless to say..they were totally caught and I had a very good laugh!

I did her hair….I still got it…yes? We had to show off the very cute back of the amazing dress – that I would totally wear if it fit me.

My friend, Ann, who is amazing at make-up came over and transformed minimal make-up Lelu into something quite spectacular without making her look like she had on too much.

: All ready to go, proud dad!

Ari was a little bit envious of all the attention - but I assure you when her day comes - I will just as excited!

TT didn’t think it was that big of a deal and wanted to know why he had to pose for a photo

Um she didn’t know how to pin it on, I made an attempt and poked him with the pin and then Madison’s mom made it work.

Lelu and Chan Man all grown up and ready to hit the town – Okay so honesty moment, Cherie and I did orchestrate the outfits and went shopping together and picked out Chandler’s outfit too. One of the perks -that I don’t think will happen again

The group: Lelu and Chan, Tanner and Maddie & Tanner & Maddie - Honestly!

The group: Lelu and Chan, Tanner & Maddie and Tanner & Maddie – Honestly that’s their names! The night was a huge success. They are all friends so it was totally comfortable, had a great dinner, the dance was super fun and then they went swimming in a pool that was heated to ninety degrees and then Cherie made them all delicious hot chocolate. First date – TOTAL SUCCESS!!
