A little Twilight humor

Hey all you Twilight fans...or not so big of fans. This is a link for a cartoon clip drawn by my sister-in-law's sister, Ginger Armstrong. She does a lot of drawings for story books and things, but I think her comics are great. This clip made me laugh really hard! I think she's summarized things well. Check it out.

Bone Marrow Donor


Tim just happens to be a bone marrow match to a 48 year old male with lymphoblastic lymphoma. It's incredibly rare to be a match to someone who is not a relative, so it's pretty neat that Tim matches up so well. Three years ago Tim signed up to be a donor and about a month ago they called up my sister in Boise looking for Tim. I don't know how they got her information. She isn't even related to him, her last name is Perez, she only moved to Boise about two years ago, and Tim never gave out any information about her. So they were very determined to track him down! Anyway, they don't have to go through the pelvic bone anymore. It's still an option, but now they have what's called Peripheral blood stem cell donation (PBSC). After flying him down to L.A. for a physical, he will come back here and receive five injections of filgrastim. This will move stem cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream. The side effects could be having a headache for seven days or just feeling like you have the flu, but still better than the alternative of having your hip ripped open! After the injections he will be flown to L.A. again for two days of four hour sessions of having his blood drained. For those of you who know Tim, he hates having blood drawn. So for him to commit to eight hours of it is going to be rough, but I'm really proud of him for doing this. I don't know of anybody who would say no to it, but still he's the one who's got to do it. Good Luck Timmy!!!

Bass Pro Shops

We aren't big on hunting, but we really enjoyed the Bass Pro Shops. London kept pointing at the stuffed lions and saying "kitty". I guess they looked enough like Daphne that she recognized them as cats. My favorite was the fish tank. Check out the size of those sting rays! We were told that later on in the day a mermaid gets in the tank. Only in Vegas will you see a half naked lady in with a nature exhibit!

Here's a few picture's of our hiking trip this past weekend. You don't get too far with kiddos, but it was fun to see some trees!








I LOVE this dog! I'm not too sure if Adam and Kate wanted to bring her, but they didn't want to hurt my feelings :) Thanks for putting up with her stinky breath in your truck!



I'm not too sure what Tim is doing here, but I thought it was funny.

Hooray for 10K!

Tim and I are running the Las Vegas half marathon in December so I decided it was time we got our rears in gear. We signed up for the Fireman and Policeman 10K Fun Run last Saturday and it was really fun. It was very well organized and actually a very pretty run if you can believe that of Vegas. I finished in 57 min. and Tim in 61 min. Not too bad. One thing is for sure, when you enter a race, you realize how many people are in so much better shape than you. The fastest lady finished in 41 min. and then turned around and did the 5k that started one hour after the 10k. wow! Anyway, it was a good start to our training and a good way to judge where you stand. At least I can beat Tim right?! :) In his defense he didn't even train so he did great to do it in just over an hour. Oh and thanks Aunt Kate for babysitting at 5:30 a.m.!!

My Significant Other!

I saw this survey on my friend Wendi's page and I thought it was a cute way to pay tribute to your hubby

1. What is his name? Timothy James Hunsaker

2. Who eats more? If Tim stays active (which is usually), then he get more hungry than me, but for instance this last year with his school, he just didn't get hungry and I was eating lots!

3. Who said I love you first? Me, I'm a bit aggressive.

4. Who is taller? Tim, by about 6 inches

5. Who is smarter? Tim, hello, doctorate degree compared to all my mall jobs :) I had a lot more fun though, just couldn't support a family.

6. Who is more sensitive? Tim, he cried at our wedding and at London's birth. I didn't. I tried to cry at London's birth, but the doctors told me to stop because she wasn't getting enough oxygen. So I tried to be sensitive!

7. Who does the laundry? I do, and I don't like anyone else to mess with my system.

8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Tim, and again, I don't like anyone messing with that system either.

9. Who pays the bills? Tim, he's so good about it that I just let him take over.

10. Who cooks more? I do all the cooking. Unless he wants a chorizo sandwich and then it's all him.

11. What meals do you cook together? I don't like big breakfasts, but on occasion we will make pancakes and eggs and he's in charge of the eggs.

12. Who is more stubborn? On the basketball court, Tim, anywhere else, COMPLETELY me. He is much too kind to me at times. I can be a big brat and stay that way until I get my way. Sometimes we have to work on my "coping" skills together :)

13. Who is the first to admit they're wrong? I do, I start feeling so dang guilty because he's so nice and I beg for forgiveness.

14. Who has more siblings? I do, 9 all together with step family.

15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? I usually put up a big enough fuss, but if there's something I know is really important to him, I let him take charge.

16. What do you like to do together? We take a lot of family walks and runs. Usually we'll try to walk to a baseball game and watch it for awhile. We love to take London swimming and we used to play a whole lot of pool before London was born. As long as it's family time, it's fun.

17. Who eats more sweets? Umm.. have you seen the size of my butt compared to his. ME!!

18. Guilty pleasures? We let ourselves buy season tickets to the hockey games down here. It was a little pricy, but it's going to be so fun.

19. How did you meet? In Rexburg, through mutual friends. He was at school and I was waiting to go on my mission.

20. Who asked who out first? Tim asked me out first. A couple nights after we met he called and asked if I wanted to go out. I had a fractured foot and was in a cast, so I wasn't sure if he'd want to take out a hobbler, but he was fine with it.

21. Who kissed who first? He kissed me first, I don't care what he claims :)

22. Who proposed? Him, with some serious promptings on my part.

23. His best features? Tim is seriously the most amazing person I know. I think it's so great how he's earned a doctorate degree. He's such a good dad to his little girl. I try his patience over and over again, but he still keeps on giving and giving to me. He can ALWAYS make me laugh at the most inappropriate times. It's great and I love him!

24. What is his greatest quality? His testimony. His love of the gospel is his best quality.

O.K. it's kind of cheesy, but it's fun to write about your hubby, so feel free to try it out.
