Fun-e-1's

Today at work there were just many of those giggle moments. (NOTE: if you are a man reading this and you have a small laugh we will call it a man chuckle, because men don't 'giggle').

Anyways isn't it funny when person 1 says to person 2, "hey how are you?" Then person 2 says "good, how are you?" HAHA. AND then person 1 says again "i'm good, you?" YOU JUST SAID THAT GOOF!

OR where I work there is a sign-in sheet and all you do it sign it and sit down. I find it hilarious when people who have been coming for weeks sit in the chair and look at you like 'what do i do?' When the papers sits RIGHT in front of them. I almost want to put a blinking arrow on my window pointing done so I don't have to say anything.
OH and the next best part about that is the pens. The pens are located in a can on the desk, right next to the sign-in sheet; on the can is a large print sign that says (you guessed it, flowers inside) PENS! Well those same people that come in asking where to sign ALWAYS ask for a pen. They will look all over the clipboard as if someone has stolen the precious, magic pen. To all you pen less people thank you for the wonderful laughs :)

P.S. This is why Jeff Foxworthy made a whole comedy series about 'Here's Yer Sign!'

Yearly Update

OK! So I already know that is has been like forever and a half before I have posted...Well SO WHAT! haha. Leave me alone. This blog is no longer called the "blog" its more like a Yearly Update. I have something to say ONCE a year. WOW. Leseli+blog= LAME. Facebook kinda changed the way we looked at our blog. Facebook is like the black side of a blog. It has all the dirt and grim and the blog is more sweet and innocent where it seems like everyone puts the nice stuff. I am as guilty as anyone else, I have gone from a blogger to a facebooker.

I am in a weird/odd situation with the blog anyway. I have no husband. no husband on television[JACI]. no children. no mortgage. no life insurance. no college life. no robbers. no natural disasters. no house remodeling. nothing that is blog worthy. So here I am bloggin on MY PARENTS blog (which has basically been mine the whole time. My mom has....never blogged I think) and I personally do not want to start a blog of my own because when I get a blog I want it to have a cute name like leseliandprincecharming.blogspot.com :) not himynameisleseli.blogspot.com :? I would like to post what is going on with my parents but IF ANYONE knows my parents they already know what they do but in case you don't know them and for some reason looking at this blog I will spell it out for you...R.O.P.E. or H.O.R.S.E If for some reason you can't read click the red X in the right hand corner of your screen. So until I can really think of something cleaver to say on here or something carazy then I will just have little posts like this. I must say I am not a fan of blogs with no pictures. Its almost like books with no pictures; takes patience to read. I am sorry but I have no pictures to go with this post mainly because I am sitting at work with no access no pictorals. Until next time- Have a Nice Day!

30 min. shopping

It is possible. 30 min. shopping can actually be done. Of course it was just for groceries but I will say that I am very proud of myself for being able to accomplish this. Almost every fridays now I go and do my grandmas grocery shopping. Since her and my grandpa do better at home, I am ok with doing this. :)

Well this past Friday I had to take my grandpa to the eye doctor. My grandma has to go too because my grandpa would not do to well if he was alone. So when we got there she told me to take some letters to the post office and run by the bank. I was like ok that is fine. Kill two birds with one stone. I had asked the lady at the front desk of the doctors how long the appointment would be, she replied " about half an hour." So I went and took the mail and hit up the bank. Well that only took up maybe five minutes. So I had the shopping list in my purse and I told myself i am going to try and hurry and get this done. If i take longer than twenty minutes I am just going to have to leave and come back because I didn't want my grandparents waiting on me.

So I zoomed into Thriftees with list in hand. Went up and down isles getting the necessary items. I was constantly looking at my phone to make sure what the time was. I was doing pretty well. I had most the items and I had only been in there for 10 mins. YES. Ok. only a few more items. Then of course you run into someone you know and have to wait for the person in front of you to check out. At this point I was booking it. Everything was loaded in the car and I left. When I had pulled up at the doctors I looked at my phone and it had been exactly 30 mins. HOOOOOORRRRRAAAAYYYYY! As I opened the door my grandparents were just walking out of the doctors office. I was super proud of myself. I dropped my grandparents off, sent mail off, deposited money, went groceries shopping all within 30 mins. WOW! I just have to say thanks to my grandma for having everything written down or else this would not have happened.

So for all you out there. Just book it into stores and make sure you stick to the list and it will not take long to shop!

School, Work, horses, house, field, trucks, roping, babies, family....etc. Just to name a few of the many things that have been going on lately. Life has been so full lately.

School started. I am now in my third semester of EAC. One more and I graduate. HOORAY! I also and still working at Fiscal Control which is really nice.

Dad is now at the Safford Mine. He has been working for Morenci for sooo long now his work is just down the road. He also celebrated his 39 year working for Phelps Dodge/ Freeport.

HORSES. still there. As mom would say "You can never have too many horses"
House. Cleaning. Lots and Lots of work on the house. Just cleaning it and trying to improve it.

Field. Completed. The new pipe is installed and is working great. The second half of the field is now going to look beautiful. It was very time consuming to get the ditch there but it will be very worth it.

Trucks. Dad has a new one. Dodge Duley. No more Mega Cab:( I will say I was very sad. Even though this is a nice truck and it is still a dodge so I cannot complain that much.

Roping is the #1 priority in this family. I have begun to start and get a REAL interest in it. I am a great dummy roper but now I am looking to improve my 'horse roping'. Dad and Mom are still pros.

Babies. Welp. We have Miss Paizli Lu that is new to us. She is growing like a weed and is becoming to be such a sweetheart. She is cooing and smiling and laughing now. Oh so adorable. Just a few more months and we will have another little girl thanks to Katie:)

Family! Gotta love them. We had a halloween party and it was great to get everyone together and just visit and have a good time. I love my family! they are absolutely the coolest people I know....ok they are also the most strange!!!! :)

Hawaii is the most amazing place I have ever been. Absolutely magical. We arrived right when the trade winds started and left right when they stopped so the weather the whole two weeks was wonderful. I have never seen water as clear or as beautiful as the ones in Hawaii. Anyone who has been knows what I am talking about. All that don't, YOU NEED TO GO! Thank Heavens we had Rick and Amber to show us around the whole time and give us all the information we needed. The best tour guides ever:) Thank you so much for letting me stay with you guys. OH also I have to thank Brandi and Aaron because without them I would have not even had this opportunity. SO THANK YOU BOTH SO SO MUCH.
I would love to share everything that we did but it was two weeks worth of being in Hawaii so that might just be a bit much, so instead I will just give you a taste of what it is like with the pictures...
The day we got there. This is one of the lagoons that they have on Oahu.I am so sorry, I forgot the name of this place but it is where Jurassic Park was filmed. It is super windy up there and we headed up there right after Rick's Graduation so of course we were in dresses. There were a couple of times we might have got a little too close to the edge;0Inside the Bowfin. It was such a neat tour. I have so much more respect for submarines. Tough job. The crew slept right above and below the torpedos.the DOLE planation. YUMMMY! I have never really been very fond on the idea of Pineapple. I don't eat it much...or...EVER. Well you just have to try the Hawaiian Pineapple or that is like so disrespectful. So of course I tried it and it is SOOOOOO Delicious. The best I have ever had. Even the Pineapple Ice Cream was delicious. So refreshing.

Brandi and I on the U.S.S. Missouri. Hello Mighty MO!
THE TEMPLE. It was under construction but still a wonderful place to see.Like I said I am horrible with names and spelling and prouncing them BUT legend has it that this hole was made in one day. A large storm came and knocked it out. Pretty cool, eh?While we were at one of the beaches, Bellows, I got stung by a Portugese Man of war. Not fun. It wrapped around my arm three times, snapped my side and got my back. This is the best looking pictures. It is not a pleasant feeling. It stings and itches like crazy. Thank heavens the store had some remedy to get rid of the itching. This happened the third day I was there and the sting still showed up until the day I came home.



This is the BEAST.


I am proud. I became a snorkeler. This was at Hanauma Bay. It's something you have to get used to but is definately worth it. I was only out there for about 10-15 mins but AARON on the other hand was there for about an hour but he also had the opportunity to swim around with the turtles. LUCKY!

Leaving snorkelingTaryn at the Sandbar.Brandi and I at the fall where they film LOST. I don't know how to spell it. SorryThe beach in the background is the one that all of us swam to. Talk about accomplishment. This was taken after we swam there AND back. Triumph!



There are much, much more I could tell you about Hawaii and how fabulous it is but that would take forever, so instead I will simply leave you with this and hope you loved it just as much as I did. Hawaii is amazing!

It rained both Friday and Saturday but the rest of the time was really nice weather. The whole trip was really fun and we left with some....well....hillarious memories. DaD won a roping and came home with $3,044. yeah not bad i guess. ;)
