My friend just emailed this to me and I had to share!
THE
NEXT SURVIVOR
SERIES
Six married men
will be dropped on an island
with one car
and 3 kids each
for six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports
and take either music or dance classes.
There is no fast food.
Each man must
take care of his 3 kids;
keep his assigned house clean,
correct all homework,
complete science projects,
cook,
do laundry,
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills
with not enough money.
In addition,
each man
will have to budget enough money
for groceries each week.
Each man
must remember the birthdays
of all their friends and relatives,
and send cards out on time--no emailing.
Each man must also take each child
to a doctor's appointment,
a dentist appointment
and a haircut appointment.
He must make one unscheduled and
inconvenient visit per child to the Emergency Room.
He must also make cookies or cupcakes
for a school function.
Each man will be responsible for
decorating his own assigned house,
planting flowers outside, and keeping it
presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television
when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.
The men must shave their legs,
wear makeup daily,
adorn themselves with jewelry,
wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes,
keep fingernails polished,
and eyebrows groomed
During one of the six weeks,
the men will have to endure severe
abdominal cramps, backaches, headaches,
have extreme, unexplained mood swings
but never once complain or slow down
from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings
and church,
and find time at least once to spend
the afternoon at the park or a similar
setting.
They will need to read a book to the kids each night
and in the morning,
feed them,
dress them,
brush their teeth and
comb their hair
by 7:30 am.
A test will be given
at the end of the six weeks,
and each father will be required to know
all of the following information:
each child's
birthday,
height, weight,
shoe size, clothes size,
doctor's name,
the child's weight at birth,
length, time of birth,
and length of labor,
each child's favorite color,
middle name,
favorite snack,
favorite song,
favorite drink,
favorite toy,
biggest fear,
and what they want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance.
The last man wins only if...
he still
has enough energy
to be intimate with his spouse
at a moment's notice.
If the last man does win,
he can play the game over and over and over
again for the next 18-25 years,
eventually earning the right
to be called Mother!
This past weekend Masen got to march in the parade with the scouts. He almost didn't want to when he found out they actually had to walk two miles:) Later that night we went to the park and rode overpriced shaky carnival rides... The firework show was AMAZING. We'd never gone before but it will definitely be something we look forward to doing next year. Happy Summer!!
I can't believe it's taken me this long to post pictures of our cruise in February. It was amazing. Looking back at the pictures makes me homesick for that boat! If you can even call it a boat. More like a floating hotel. Allure of the Sea is Royal Caribbeans newest boat, at least at the time of our cruise anyway. It was huge. We didn't really go around and take pics on the boat- it would have taken all day! There was a rock climbing wall, zip line, ice skating rink, restaurants, and sooo many fun stores to shop in. At night we went to a diving show called Oceania. It was kind of like Cirque Du Soleil on water. The performers dive off little tiny platforms that were so high into a small pool. That was one of my favorite nights. My favorite thing to do on the boat, besides eating of course, is to sit on the deck and enjoy the sun and sea breeze. Of course Ty is the total opposite. He spent all of our days at sea playing basketball. Like for hours. I don't know how he did it. The weather was beautiful. I felt bad our kids were stuck in freezing Utah. I called my parents one day and it was 5 degrees. 
This was in Cozumel. We went snorkeling and then wandered around town and had lunch. After lunch Ty and I got a cab and went to a beach for a few hours. That beach was so quiet and relaxing
We hiked a lot. I wore the wrong shoes. I though people were shorter back then - so why are these steps so high?
This is the beach at Labadee, Haiti. I wasn't sure what to expect at Haiti but it was actually really nice. They recently built a dock with a BBQ area. It was really, really hot there. I had a really bad sunburn that day so we didn't stay at the beach long. Shocker I know. Who would have thought a redhead would burn...
The boys and their 'Weapon Destroyer". Mase is the pit crew and Jett is the driver. Trey is the mascot? The boys are off track right now and are having fun sleeping in- no wait that's me... I have a ton of pics I need to post including the ones from our cruise we just got home from. Coming soon...
These past few months have flown by. The kids started school already. Jett was so excited for Kindergarten and Mase is loving 2nd grade. Trey has been keeping busy riding his bike. I wish I had his energy! We went camping a few times, and had family reunions and birthday parties. Summer is not long enough to squeeze it all in!
Jett's in kindergarten-or tindergarten as he says
Woohoo big 2nd grader
My handsome boys
The boys were fascinated by Kennecott
We went to the splash park a few times
Happy 4th of July!
We went camping and tried out the new pellet gun
The boys finished baseball and got some cool trophies
Jett and Trey had birthdays in May so we had some friends over to play on a big slide
