Resneps

Spencer went to work on building the house with Tim on his birthday and got cold and started walking home without telling anyone. When Tim realized he was gone he drove home hoping he would see him on the way. When he got home and asked me if Spencer was here I felt sick to my stomach to realize he was lost. About 10 min. later I called Tim to see if he had found him and he had. Spencer was two houses down from the house we are building, at the Binghams house. They didn’t recognize him so they asked him his name and he said “Spencer” then they asked him his last name and he said “ Resneps”. What?!.. When they told me that I could not figure out what possessed him to say that. Tim figured it out. Resneps is in fact his name backwards and not his last name. Hahaha… It was scary but I am thankful for good neighbors and good laughs as well. And now Spencer knows the difference between his last name and his backwards name. J

More Memory Lane

Another excerpt from a letter to Nathan:

How is your mission going? The scribbles are from Charity. I'll translate: "Bash in a bap konk." That's what she said it said.

What?!! Ha ha!

Memory Lane

I've been typing up letters that I wrote to my many siblings who served missions (in lieu of a personal history as a couple of my journals had to be chucked). Thank you for saving all those letters by the way and giving them back to me. But I came across some funny stuff that I wanted to share with you all. I may share more but for now I'll just share a postscript that I wrote to Nathan . . .

This is what Charity wants to tell you.
Me: "Do you think the baby's cute?"
Her: "Yep. He's cute."
Me: " Do you love the baby?"
Her: "Umhuh" (uh huh)
Me: "What does the baby eat?"
Her: "Milk" (pronounced as "malk") . "Just a sec. Just a sec okay?"
Me: "Okay"
Her: "I'm going to see what's wrong with that baby." (Andrew had been crying)

It made me chuckle. For those of us that knew Charity when she was little - can you not hear her saying all of this? She was just the cutest talker! Ha - "I'm going to see what's wrong with that baby"! It's kills me! lol *sigh*

Colors

I am very perplexed right now. Just wondering why the first girl in this family wasn't assigned pink and the second girl purple. This is the natural order of things! After five girls purple was never assigned until the eighth child who is not even a girl! Does anyone have an explanation for this. Come on, I need answers! And Mom don't call me with the answer, I never get to the phone on time and when I call right back the phone rings ten times and then I get the answering machine. What do you do, Drop the phone and run away the second after you call?

Bahahaha!

"Wow. Shouldn't that read, 'Road Closed'?"

For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure of hearing material from the hilarious Brian Regan, this won't be that funny; for those of you that have - can you believe there really is a construction sign that says this? Here in Billings! I took the pic myself with Dave's cell phone. hahaha

"Couple names"

On my blog I recently had a poll to help decide what mine and Dave's couple name should be. Like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been dubbed 'Brangelina'. Votes favored 'Ravid' for us. I had fun coming up with couple name possibilities for all of my married siblings. Here's what I've got:

Raylie or Julaymond

Angelarrin or Darrangela

Nathamy or Amathan

Sarim or Timrah

Aprichael or Michapril

How about some for Mom and Dad . . . Rayresa, Teray, Teresay, Raysa - man this is fun! Ha! Have you got other ideas? Pick your favorites!
