Poor Neglected Blog

I would like to say what is new.... but since I haven't blogged since last summer... I think you would be bored catching up on EVERYTHING. So instead you only get the most recent stuff.

1. No... Moniqua is not married. Just dating. Thats just fine with Kelly for now.

2. Hurray for Lacrosse! The season is starting up again. Eric is #15 as usual. 10 points to the person who can guess why that has been his favorite number. Eric is playing on an all-star team this year "The Outlaws" as well as his regular team. Go Purple! I don't know how he will manage both, especially while Kelly is coaching the regular team.

3.Kelly is looking for employment since his company will be laying him off at the end of March. He has had several interviews in the past couple of weeks and is very hopeful. No more blue Nitro. That could be a good thing. Everyone sees him coming down the road. "Oh, that Kelly Leth!"

4. Anyone that knows me knows what I'm up to. I eat, breath, and sleep Relief Society. I was taking tickets at a b-ball game the other night and my phone kept ringing and I was madly texting. My co-worker asked me what was up. I quickly explained that I needed to find a babysitter for a family whose parent's were at the hospital with another child and make sure they had dinner for the night. She looked at me curiously and said "you must be in the Relief Society." YUP! I miss the kids in Primary but I love serving the sisters in Relief Society.

5. My neice stays with us on the weekends. No... she is not married either. Just dating! Although Kelly won't freak out if she gets engaged. She's not his daughter!

Chipmunk Update

It is now safe to drive the Nitro again. After a night of leaving the window open we found the crazy chipmunk scampering around the neighborhood. We occasionally leave nuts out to feed the little critter since it is our fault he must now call Eagle Mountain home. If you see the little guy let us know! We have fondly named him Nelson.

Never Chase a Chipmunk

Our family has been really anxious to go fishing this year so we finally had the opportunity this week. Monday we went to Vernon Reservoir and got skunked and Wednesday we went to Payson Lake and got CHIPMUNKED!

Payson Lake hasn't been stocked for a while and seemed fished out. When we saw the fish truck drive by headed to the upper lake we gathered our poles and put them back in the car top carrier. As we were about to leave the lake Eric started chasing a chipmunk. Boys will be boys and Kelly was soon chasing the chipmunk too. Unfortunately, all of our car's doors were wide open and must of looked like a great place to hide to a frightened chipmunk! In our excitement we all tried to poke and prod the critter hoping to force him out of the car. No such luck! He burrowed himself somewhere under the steering column. We waited for about 10 minutes hoping he would calm down enough to scurry out. No such luck! Kelly really didn't like the idea of a wild critter crawling around by his feet but what would you do? Stay there all day waiting for it to come out?

We drove the 1/2 mile to the upper lake and decided to leave the doors open. We stayed there for few hours with our poles in the water. Kelly was the only one to catch a fish. We must of been doing something wrong that day! One fish! Payback for chasing a chipmunk, right? Hoping the chipmunk had crawled out we journeyed home. Kelly was twitching at every little itch on his bare legs in fear of a crazy chipmunk attacking him while driving.

Did he really crawl out? No such luck. The next morning the little guy was looking out the window at us! We opened all the doors and windows hoping again he would crawl out. After another hour of this we decided just to leave the windows open and not drive the car for a few days. Let us know if you see a chipmunk running around Eagle Mountain. Then we will know it is safe to drive the car again!
