These boys keep me entertained all day. This was after we saw The Last Airbender on Monday, which I actually really liked! The boys clearly did too...they spent a good 30 minutes waterbending in these fountains right after we saw it. Hiiiilarious. The shakiness is me laughing. The bad quality is my phone. The distance is being secretive so Matthew wouldn't take my phone and break it if he caught me recording him. (You should see that kid dance...all videos have been erased by Matthew's force, but I'm determined to sneak one someday. Too funny)
matthew is to the left, in the red shirt. will is the one in the white shirt in the middle sticking his face in the water the whole time. ohh boys
"Matthew are you hungry?"
"NO Aly! I'm hungry for you to get in the water!"
After picking Will up from his 1 1/2 hour golf lesson
Matthew: "Alyyy, I'm starving!"
Will: "You're starving Matthew?! I haven't eaten a thing for THIRTY MINUTES!"
"Do you guys want to go to Boondocks today?"
Will: "YEEEAAAAHHHH!!! I love Boombox!......What is Boombox?"
en.ter.tain.ment.

team harry and ron
I have an announcement. After years of refusing to read or watch...I am reading Twilight.
Now that you've calmed down a bit from that, let me explain. Sometimes fellow nannies become friends. This has happened to me. In an effort to not seem like a book snob or mean person and to become better friends with her, I am reading Twilight per request of a fellow nanny whom I see often. As Kristie said today "You have to be a suck up to make friends". Fellow nanny loves that I am reading it. She asks me about it every time I see her and tells me why she loves Edward. I would never take her for a Twilight fan, and this is what got me reading the book more than anything...how does it hook every single type of person? I'm 2/3 of the way through the book (and its taken me 2 weeks to get that far, not 2 days), and I still don't know the answer to that question.
Every time I go to my Dad's office, I swap book suggestions with a lady who works for him. This week I told her I was reading Twilight for the first time and she was a) shocked that I hadn't already read it and b) ecstatic for me. She said, and I quote, "Twilight is like eating delicious candy with absolutely no calories. AH you just can't get enough!"
"Bring on the shackles--I'm your prisoner"
"I may not be a human, but I am a man"
"And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." (replace love with obsessed)
"He grinned his crooked smile at me, stopping my breath and my heart. I couldn't imagine how an angel could be any more glorious."
Lets just say I don't think Twilight is my kind of candy

I know this is a blog for what makes me happy, but I am just heart broken over this. I know bad things happen all around the world everyday and they are all sad and full of injustice. Read CNN.com for an hour and you will be depressed for the rest of the week. But the recent attacks in Kampala have really gotten to me.
In April, Invisible Children came to BYU. This year the roadies brought Ugandans with them, people who are part of the Schools for Schools program in Gulu. Tony was with the mountain west team. Tony loved us because we had lived in Uganda. We hung out with him for the night, watching Ugandan music videos and talking about Kope Cafe and Garden City and Posho and the Multi-Choice Hotel and everything Uganda.
3 months later, Tony is on CNN
ah! he has already had such an incredibly difficult past (if you've seen the invisible children rough cut, he's in it) and now he has to deal with this. Now Nate Henn's family has to deal with this, he was there doing good good things. We were only with tony for a few hours but still, my heart = broken. But look how strong Innocent and Tony are, how willing they are to keep fighting the good fight. Ha I'm talking like we're best friends. We're not, but they've inspired me. Anyways, pray for Uganda. Pray for Tony. Pray for Nate Henn's family. Pray for hearts to be softened. Pray for peace.
everyone jump upon the peace train
come on now peace trainnn

a short, humorous, five-line poem
This poem makes me laugh so hard. No one knows why. But I love it
There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who kept all his cash in a bucket,
But his daughter named Nan
Ran away with a man,
And alas for the bucket, Nan-tuck-et!
But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket,
And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan;
And as for the bucket, Paw-tuck-et!
children's poetry is the best
