I have never been able to keep a secret. Even my own. It’s been a problem for as long as I can remember. I just hate keeping secrets and having secrets kept from me.
My sister Katie is the exact opposite when it comes to secrets. She has always been able to keep secrets for long periods of time…..and I HATE it!!!
With all three of my pregnancies, I have called everyone that I knew within 24 hours of the discovery. I just can’t hold it in or I’m afraid that I’d explode.
Katie, on the other hand, waits for a very long time and then shocks the crap out of me. With Max, I actually discovered her secret because of the preg test she left in her bathroom, but she didn’t TELL me until long after. This was of course long after I’d told everyone else that I knew. With Paige, she leaned over just before a baby shower was about to begin and said, “by the way, I’m pregnant”….after she’d already announced to everyone else at the party. And this time, with her third pregnancy…..yep, that’s right, her THIRD pregnancy…..she decided to wait an entire month and a half to tell me that she’s having a baby 11 days before me!!! She actually just stuck her ultrasound picture in the father’s day card for my dad. Her due date is December 16th!!!
I am really quite amazed that she was able to hold that in for so long. Even after I asked her for old baby toys and to borrow her boppy pillow. Does anyone have a boppy pillow I can borrow?
Ken and Scott were in town so Katie invited us all over to play games. I hate learning new games (it’s such a hassle) so I was very dismayed when Katie suggested we play a new game called Partini. After we got playing, however, it turned out to be a pretty fun game. It’s a whole bunch of games rolled into one and with a “drink” theme. It’s like Cranium, only it has more games to play. Above, Scott is smoking his “joint” made of clay. The funniest game was the “hum punch”, where you have to hum a song and your team has to guess the title. It’s so hard to guess, but I nearly peed my pants listening to everyone, especially Trevor. There are no words to describe his humming.
We took a drive to Tremonten to see the house that my parents are building. They are planning to move back in the Spring. Katie and Trevor have been doing the grunt work and we wanted to see their good works. My mom said that they wanted to move to Tremonten because she didn’t want to live in a ”dump”. I think she might have been refering to my house. Lots are much cheaper when you live in the middle of nowhere, which means they can afford a nicer house. 
This is a picture of what my sister calls a “gingerbread mansion”. 
My sister Katie, along with some of her friends, and I, all got season tickets to the Desert Star playhouse this year. We had the pleasure of seeing, “Miracle on 42nd Street”. It was fabulous! I absolutely love to see these funny plays. The theatre is sort of set up like a comedy club with little tables to sit at. They have really good pizza there, but unfortunately, we got the appetizer sampler…..not a good choice.
