california march 17-21, 2011

We, as in my family got a call from my Aunt Bert saying that Grandma isn't doing too well, so Dad, Mom and I decided to take a trip and go see her. On March 17th, we headed South! Stayed in Vegas for the night then headed to Fresno on the 18th. Since it was only the three of us, I got a lot of attention, which of course, I enjoyed. Also, I grew so much closer to my parents and I think we needed it. I told them that I was going to write all the funny things down, so here goes a few things;

"just so you know, i am writting down every funny thing that happens..."
dad looks at mom, wets his finger, puts it to her ear and yells like a little kid, "WET WILLIE!!!"
mom then says, "don't give me a wet willie!"
dad, "why not? it's funny!"
mom says back to him, while rolling her eyes, "uh. you're so goonie!"

"308 miles to Vegas?!?!" (we were about 100 away i think.)

I was texting a friend of mine, Preston and he told me that the baseball team were down in St. George. I asked him, "Where are you guys staying? cause I am driving through!" He said at Red Cliffs Hotel right off the freeway. As we drove into St. George I told my Dad to honk loud and long when we drive pass the hotel. So, we see to the left a Red Cliffs Hotel. My dad laid on the horn!! Then we settle down a little after the laughs. About five minutes later, we see a Red Cliffs Hotel to the right! I told my dad he has to honk again just in case! So, he did! That made my day! It was hilarious! After all that, Preston isn't even too sure he heard the horn from the parking lot from one of the Red Cliffs. He said, "I heard like seven honks... but I am sure one of them were you!"

Mom: "Dad, did you bring the toothpaste?"
Dad: "No, I thought you did. You always bring the toothpaste."
Mom: "Jalissa? Did you bring toothpaste?"
Me: "No, I thought you or Dad would've."
Dad: "Mom? Did you bring the toothpaste?"
Mom: ".....no...."
(later we bought toothpaste, no worries)

Everytime it was cold, I thought of Quinn while Mom would go... "Burrrr!"

Dad: "I guess she beat out Justin Beiber..."
Mom: "Who is that?"
Dad: "I guess he's pretty famous?"
Me: bursting out with laughter

There was a big field with the name JESUS mowed into it... I glanced and saw Jessie.
Me: JESSSIIEE!!!
a moment later after I realized what it had said...
Me: That would be Jesus

[text message alert sound plays] mom jumps way high then says, "That gave me a heart attack! I didn't know it was going to jingle!"

and other funny sayings that only we would understand...

"as long as she don't fluff the covers you'll be alright"
"my mazarate goes 184"..."it's 185"
"i was scared for that little car! my heart is pounding!"..."well, my heart is always pounding!"
"this is totally awesome!!!!"
