These are the lovely knees I married.
"journeys, adventures & random spots of chaos"
Today during sacrament meeting my neighbor asked Tanner to draw a picture of him. Tanner jumped at the chance and proceed to draw a sweet picture of his face. I thought at the time, “what a great thing……this will keep Tanner occupied for a while.” Tanner gave him the master piece that he had created and my neighbor kindly complimented Tanner on his artistic abilities. Below is a a drawing similar to what Tanner created.
Tanner, being reinforced by the kind words of everyone telling him he was amazing at drawing, continued to doodle on some available paper. I wasn’t paying much attention to him until I saw him hand my neighbor another drawing over the back of the church bench. After he had handed it off…. I got a glimpse of this…...
Tanner beaming and grinning from ear to ear over his talent whispered enthusiastically to me, “It's a picture of him peeing!”
***Heaven Help. I couldn’t look the Bishop in the eye the rest of the meeting knowing that my family was distributing explicit images while he held court from the stand.
They say that bad things come in groups of three. I am hoping that number is correct and not a miss calculation.
#1. Tanner vs. sea shell.
#2. Chad vs. the Mountain
#3. Snowboarder vs. Zach (really snowboarder plowing over him)
Here’s hoping that 3 is the real number.
I went to the dentist office yesterday………and I started laughing because, you know your life has changed when you think, “sweet I get to put my feet up while they work in my mouth!” It felt so good to “put my feet up” that I didn’t even take notice of the little instruments that were prodding and probing my teeth and gums. At one point I believe I said, “Laying here reminds me of falling asleep by the side of a pool. You have all this background noise…….that just relaxes you.” Scary huh.

I found this picture and yesterday this is what my heaven looked like. That’s what happens when you work in a severe behavior unit. Your version of heaven gets a little twisted.
