Nashville Zoo

Kelsie and I went to the Nashville Zoo, I was really impressed with everything there and we had a lot of fun!

a quick update

Just a quick update... We are all doing well in the Preece household. Alyssa has been in school now for two weeks and we survived. I wasn't sure how waking up at 5:45 a.m. was going to work out but so far it's been okay. I still can't get over the fact that school here starts at 7:15 a.m. (that's just pure torture if you ask me) Alyssa catches the bus right in front of our house at 6:30 a.m. I love just being able to walk her outside and put her on the bus. All summer Alyssa has been dying to be back in school so needless to say she is excited to be back in school. Kelsie seems to be adjusting well to having Alyssa gone all day. We try to stay busy with different outings and things.

You might be a redneck if......

Kevin and I had to speak in sacrament meeting yesterday. I am not much of a public speaker, and of course I always end up saying dumb things that I usually regret. So, I started off my talk by saying how I didn't really want to live in Tennessee, and I had this preconceived idea that Tennessee was just kind of a hillbilly town with a lot of people who piled junk on their front lawns and such. After my talk, our stake president gets up to speak and tells Kevin that after church he needs him to come over to his house, and help him put some cars out on his lawn. The jokes continued all through church, and Kevin and I were just dying. Anyway, it was pretty funny. Kevin said that in priesthood they even threw in some funny jokes about Utah. I couldn't help myself and have to list these redneck comments just to make myself laugh today.
So you might be a redneck if.......

You think TACO BELL is
the Mexican Phone Company

Your state's got a new law that says
when a couple get divorced,
they are still legally brother and sister

Your house still has the
"WIDE LOAD"
sign on the back

You got stopped by a state trooper.
He asked you if you had an I.D.
And you said, 'Bout What?'

You think the OJ Trial was a Sunkist and Minutemaid taste test.

You know yer a redneck when you take a load to the dump and bring back more than you took.

You had to remove a toothpick
for your wedding pictures.

The Halloween pumpkin on your front porch has more teeth than your wife.

You think "taking out the trash"
means taking your in-laws to a movie.

You carried a fishing pole into Sea World.

If you can burp
and say your name at the same time,
you're shur'nuff a redneck

You believe that beef jerky and Moon Pies
are two of the major food groups.

YOU REFER TO THE TIME YOU WON A FREE CASE OF MOTOR OIL AS "THE DAY MY SHIP CAME IN."

WARNING:
IF TWO OR MORE OF THE ABOVE ARE TRUE ABOUT YOU.... YOU ARE A REDNECK, AND SHOULD SEEK CIVILIZED HELP IMMEDIATELY..

Aunt Jemima

Yes, this is a picture of Aunt Jemima. Did any of you know that she is Kevin's aunt? You must be asking how Kevin got his natural white glow if his posterity is this dark in color. (my thoughts exactly!) Well, Kevin likes to tell the girls all kinds of stories about his aunt also known as Aunt Jammie. As we were down the syrup isle at the grocery store the other day, Kelsie noticed Aunt Jammie on the syrup bottle and was quick to point out that it was a picture of "dad's aunt" I laughed and we kept on with our shopping. A few minutes later Kelsie starts yelling across the store "Mom look there is Dad's aunt" as a dark colored woman is standing in the isle. It was classic is all I can say.

cheap entertainment

The kids got some fun packages this week from their Aunt Tracy in Utah. She sent them each a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, a barbie skateboard, and some barbie roller skates. It's a good thing that our formal living room doesn't have any furniture because the girls love playing in there, and it has come in handy with learning how to skate. Alyssa and Kelsie will be entertained for months. Thanks Tracy!
