It's Time...The Race is on.

 

Most of you know who much Lynn loves popcorn.  He has eaten so much he could pop himself but he has reached new heights.

At first I was buying ordinary bags of popcorn but they were gone way too fast and I don't like to go to the grocery store so that much so when Abby and I found this

I thought we had struck gold.  It was big enough to last for a long time, 12.5 pounds.  

Not!!!! 

  

 

 

So when Abby and I saw this sack at Sam's Club we jumped right on the bandwagon and said this is what he needs.   It is 50 pounds. I can't even carry it it is so heavy.  Now that better last more than a month. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the culprit popcorn popper.  The race is on.  We are betting how long it will take Lynn to eat 50 pounds of popcorn.  He opened it Saturday night and has started.  Now we all must decide what our time will be and let me know.  I say it will take him 2-1/2 months.  So let's see what the rest of you think.  The only good thing about popcorn is that it is not fattening, so at least he won't turn into a popcorn ball!!!

All is well with the world.

Have you ever had an experience where you just feel that all is right with the world and you feel content with your life???   Well I had one of those days on Sunday.  I had every one of my family home with me and we took this wonderful family picture.  Twenty of us now and 1 on the way.  How cool is that.

The day started out as we all went to church together which is about the most wonderful thing in the world except if we were in the temple.  It was great. 

The we got a great barbecue ready of turkey and funeral potatoes and yummy salads.  Lynn had to go to some meetings and then the fun began of trying to take family pictures.   

  Louis and Sheridy were first.  You can see how much fun they had. Stephen is never without his cowboy hat because he eats, drinks, sleeps, dreams cowboy.  He is always asking if what he is eating will make him a strong cowboy.  (Which of course we say yes).  McKenzie cooperates the best of anybody and is always happy to have her picture taken and Allie was just not interested. 

Then next was Linsey and Ray.  Kyle is our little "Pablo" and everything he does is just plain

cute (even if he is eating a bugger at the moment).  Rachel and Megan of course are just our little princesses.

Jenny and Justin have quite a challenge on their hands as the kids were just not in the mood.  I did get Zoey to stick her tongue out and Tyler is ready to cry, but we love them anyway. 

Lastly is Abby and Matt when everyone is hot and tired and ready to quit.  Abby even had to bribe Jeremy with $1 if he would be good and cooperate for a little while longer. Which he did to a degree.   Bailee was just happy to be wearing her new school clothes.

I was just happy to have some great pictures of my family.  The best is yet to come though.  The coup de grâce for a grandmother.  Just grandma and grandpa with the most wonderful grandkids in the world.  They they cutest you have ever seen?  Of course.  Now you know why all was well in my world on Sunday. (Especially since this is the last time we will all be together for who knows how long!)
