Today is the super bowl! We love football at our house and we are going over to our neighbors in a little while. We not only love football but we love TV of any kind. We have a plethera of shows we watch religiously at our house. We watch Lost, which just started last week and is in its final season. We watch The Office, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, and Survivor. And that is just on Thursday's. On Sunday's we watch Desperate Housewives, on Monday's and Tuesday's we watch Dancing with the Stars when it is on. Kody watches Heroes and this season I have been watching American Idol occasionally. I also tivo Ellen and Oprah daily along with Cold Case Files on A&E. Kody tivo's The Bone Collector. This is not a murder mystery show like you're thinking, it is actually a bow hunting show on the Outdoor Channel. (can anyone say STUPID?) He also records a bunch of other crap on the outdoor channel but they are not worth mentioning. We also pick up the occasional reality show like The Jersey Shore. You know good wholesome family entertainment. We have been watching a few new shows like Cougar Town with Courteney Cox lately as well. Anyway, the reason I am sharing this is because a few weeks ago we had a snow storm hit on a Thursday night. We were watching Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader waiting for our Thursday night line up to start when the satellite went out. We kind of just sat silently for a minute waiting to see what was going to happen. Kody looked at me and said, "It looks like there is snow out on the satellite." I nodded and waited for him to do something about it. He looked at me and said, "I'm not going out there. I guess we just won't watch TV tonight." I pondered this for a minute and thought there is no way I am sitting here all night staring at each other in silence. So I put on a hoodie and some boots and headed out with a broom to see if I could reach the satellite to brush off the snow. I walked through the snow to the side of the house in my boots and tried to reach the satellite with no such luck. I know you are wondering why I didn't get a ladder out and that would be because we don't own a ladder. Yes that is right, we have never owned a ladder in our seven years together. We used to borrow our neighbors, Randy and Malesha Hunter's ladder when we lived in Enoch. Now we borrow Steve and Martene Barker's ladder. Anyway without a ladder I got creative and came inside and got a stool from the kitchen. I trucked back outside in the blinding snow carrying a broom and a ladder. Well standing on the stool and reaching with the broom still wasn't high enough to reach the satellite. I looked around and there just happened to be a wheel barrel on the side of the house in a good location. Melted snow and rain had frozen into a large ice block inside the wheel barrel. So I put the stool on top of the ice block inside the wheel barrel and climbed on top. If I fell off I was going to land in the window well right beside me filled with 3 rakes left out from our sprinkler system. I carefully lifted the broom up and I could just barely reach the bottom of the satellite. So I carefully banged the satellite with the broom to knock off the packed snow and do you know what happened? It worked! All the snow fell off of the satellite-and landed on my head. Yes, a pile of snow fell right on top of my head neerly knocking me into the window well! So of course I am now madder than heck at my husband who is sitting inside by the fire place while I am outside risking my life so we can watch our Thursday shows! I come inside with the stool, soaking wet, and he doesn't even look up from the TV! Needless to say I gave him an earful before our 7:00 shows started! Happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone! (even if it is snowing)
So I never posted after Bresha had her baby. This is Jackson Kirby Judd born Jan. 2, 2010. He was 5 lbs 10 ounces. Bresha let me come in and be with her during the birth! The hospital has a new policy that only 4 people can come into the OB ward. (Not including dad) So I figured Janet and Kary would be 2 people and maybe Darrin's parents would be the other 2. But she let Steph and I in for the birth! I filmed while Steph took pictures. Don't worry it was all PG stuff. I am experienced in filming births (I filmed both of my sister's kids being born) so if you ever need a camera guy, I'm your girl. I keep it all PG so you can watch it later with your family. Anyway enough of me, advertising my skills. Baby JJ (that's what we call him) is beautiful! He is just like a little bird. He looks exactly like his daddy. It is so weird to see Bresha as a mom. She is awesome at it! I thought she would be a basket case when she took him home, but she is so calm about everything. Kody says just because I was a basket case doesn't mean everyone else is. I guess he is right. (Don't tell him I said that) Anyway last week Bresha moved to Salt Lake with out even getting my permission! Well, I miss her and baby JJ. I am certain he is missing me too!
