Things That Make Me Happy

My sister Amanda once posted a long time ago that she keeps things that make her smile written in her phone to look at when she's feeling down. After reading that I decided to copy her and make a list of them in my phone. So, here's some of the things on my list!

1. Kendra A.K.A. "Tata"- Kendra makes me happy in general, but the funniest thing I've ever seen her do was call herself "Tata". She can't say her K's, so obviously saying her name is an ordeal. After she came up with her little nickname, Trev taught her to do the pelvic thrust. So every time we asked "Kendra, what's your name?", she would reply with "Tata, uh!" and do a pelvic thrust. I've never seen Jamie laugh so hard, and it was funny to see my whole family enjoying Kendra for the little bundle of laughter she is.
2. "Smize"- Tyra Banks, being Tyra Banks, does some really weird crap on ANTM. My sisters and I like to make fun of it a lot. On the previous season, Tyra invented a series of words, including "Ty-overs" (Tyra make-overs). But the most bizarre of her inventions was "smize", or "smiling with your eyes". She did this weird act of her as a super hero, or "Super Smize". You should google the video. It's ridiculous.
3. Sam blowing his nose- Sammy is so adorable. A couple weeks or so ago he started "blowing his nose" (which is more like him pulling tissues out of the box and snotting all over his hands). It's so funny to see, even though it's extremely disgusting. Every time I blow my nose in front of him, he gestures to me as if to ask for a tissue, so I get him one, and he gets snot all over the place. It's pretty hilarious. For a video, go look at familymattson.blogspot.com
4. What's your secret?- Shannon, Shannon, Shannon. I miss that girl! One time, while I was staying at her house for a week, we were laying in our beds, talking about quiet people. We both came to the agreement that quiet people, especially quiet boys, have some sort of secret that we really want to reveal.
5. I don't know what to do with my hands- Kelsey, you get me!! At the Priest/Laurel activity, Kelsey and I were talking about that movie, and we both decided we'd start randomly putting our hands up in the middle of conversations. Awesome.
6. "Did you know that before intercourse, Emperor Penguins bow to each other? They're like 'Mr. Penguin, Mrs. Penguin', Silly Penguins actin' all fancy!"- This is an ode to How I Met Your Mother in general, because Kelsey, my siblings and I all love this show. It's awesome. Kelsey and I now bow to each other and say what Robin says in her voice whenever we see each other. It's awesome.
7. Homecoming-I don't really want to tell the entire story of Homecoming, because it's super long, but I'll just say for now that it was an amazing day.
8. "Maybe, maybe not!"-While in Cedar City with my sisters for our annual Shakespearean Festival trip, we saw "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare--Abridged!" It was hilarious and awesome, but it included a lot of audience interaction, which my sisters and I really hate. At one point in the play, they had different sections of the audience do different things to represent a characters feelings. My section had to lift their arms in the air and swing them back and forth saying "maybe, maybe not" over and over. While "practicing" they told everyone to stop what they were doing and told me that I was "doing the little T-Rex arms or somethin'". I was extremely embarrassed, and they made me do it ALL BY MYSELF! It was mortifying. But now, looking back on it, I'm glad it happened, because it was really hilarious.
9. The bathroom door at the Garden House- This is another thing my sisters and I experienced on our Cedar trip. Every year while in Cedar, we go to this delicious restaurant, The Garden House. The first year we went, we realized that the Women's Restroom door looked like it was open at the top, even when it was really closed. While I was in that bathroom, I heard this lady shoving at the door and couldn't stop laughing! She would not give up! It was hilarious! Ever since then, we always watch women go to that door and nearly break it down trying to open it.

So, that's all for now! Bye!!
