Good times with the UTAH JAZZ!!




So my friend Mishell had tickets for the Jazz game last night! We were actually in the lower bowl, which never happens for me. I usually end up in the rafters so it was nice to actually see the players. The real entertainment was the crazy fans.....take a look!!



The one guy kept doing the robot and some other really "fancy" moves!! GO FIGHT WIN!!!!

Dino-Museum!!






Playgroup this week was at the Dinosaur Museum!! The kids had a great time and the ladies and I got to chat and catch....mission accomplished. Of course I wasn't able to leave w/o a dinosaur for Logan to play with. He is really getting into them, nice change from the trains, bob the builder and Cars he has been into.

They speak English in England?!?! Who Knew?...

Can you say DUH!

So, I served my mission in England and was reading one of my favorite companions blog and saw this. I thought you would get a kick out of it. Enjoy!

Walmart Wackiness

I went to Walmart today to pick up some things and as I was waiting for my goods to be rung up I had the following conversation with the Cashier, a twenty-something woman:

Cashier: Where are you from you have an accent?
Me: England
Cashier: I should've guessed
Me: Well, sometimes people think I'm from Australia
Cashier: How long have you lived here?
Me: About 3 years
...... about 30 seconds passes by.......
Cashier: You speak English very well, did you learn it over here?
...... she says this with a straight face, no hint of sarcasm whatsoever......
Me: Pardon????????????
Cashier: Did you have to learn English when you came here?
Me: Umm, no, I've been speaking it since I was born, England is where English originated and the language we speak there.
Cashier: Oh, I never knew that, we didn't learn anything about England in school.
