ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER

My dad sent this to me this morning and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Just post your answer and I will post the answers within two days time.


5th Grade Math Problem

Good luck!

This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll
see it's a very small list of people who have gotten the correct number.

This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that
a bus has no legs.

There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

RED MOUNTAIN CHOIR

After Adam's very funny post I have been apprehensive about writing another one because let's be honest, it was funny!!

My friend Annie Ellsworth and I are in the Red Mountain Choir and the choir was celebrating 10 years at being an organization and sang some of the songs that have been performed the past ten years.

Here are some pictures of the eventful evening.

A Spooktaculer Evening

Nerds and rednecks unit Halloween to take a stand against all those unjustified stereotypes that have plagued them throughout history. Joe the Trucker crossed class lines to ask Velma Dinkley to celebrate the spookiest night of the year with him. She took one look at his amazing dental work and just couldn't say no. Surprisingly, Velma was the one that suggested a night of egging, TP-ing, and forking yards and houses while the mild mannered Joe had to talk her down to handing out candy to the neighborhood goblins and playing a few rousing rounds of Rummy-Kub. Later, Velme decided to notch up the exciting evening by suggesting a scary movie, "The Exorcist." It turned out Joe couldn't handle a thriller either so they settled on the ever popular "Arsenic and Old Lace."

Well, enough of the role playing. On the hunt for great costumes, Heather saw two that included "Bubba" teeth. An instant in. A couple of minutes and a few ingenious costume innovations later, Velma the Nerd and Joe the Redneck unleashed themselves upon the world. Sorry to say, the redneck wasn't a pleasant sight to see for those toddlers seeking to fleece the town of its goodies. One of the ghouls even fell over and sought the protection of their mother when "Joe" answered the call to dish out the tasty peace offerings. We had a wonderful time and hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween.

Trivia Question: Who is Velma Dinkley?

Ans.) ooD-yboocS no derutaef dren ralupop reve ehT

On a side note, we both discovered that our favorite part of the holiday is carving pumpkins! What better way to celebrate Halloween that involves sharp implements, some creative artistic ability (or at least the belief in having any), and the torturing of vegetables for our enjoyment?

Oh the beauty of Southern Utah....

Last Weekend Adam and I went to Cedar City to be with my mom and Dad to the Shakespearean Festival and we also headed up to Cedar Breaks.

Here are a few pics from Cedar Breaks.

Conference

OK, I know, I know, it has been two weeks since conference. However I wanted to post just how wonderful conference was in my eyes.

Here are my reasons why:

1.) Dallin H. Oaks talking boldly about Sacrament meeting and the Sacrament.

2.) President Uchtdorf speaking of hope. "Hope has the power to fill our lives with happiness."

3.) President Eyring speaking of unity. "The miracle of unity is being granted to us as we pray and work for it in the Lord’s way. Our hearts will be knit together in unity. God has promised that blessing to His faithful Saints whatever their differences in background and whatever conflict rages around them. He was praying for us as well as His disciples when He asked His Father that we might be one."

4.)President Monson

"First, learn what we should learn.

Second, do what we should do.

And third, be what we should be."

I love the gospel. It brings hope, peace, and a sure knowledge that God loves us and we are His children. Conference helps me to learn more of Him and the Savior and then do more because I was taught. Conference helps me be a better person, wife, and friend.

What did conference teach you?

UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, did you see all the exclamation points?


Well, As I am sure you can guess by the thief and the credit card number I had my debit card number stolen and used.

So I wanted to post some suggestions to people so they do not go through the same headache of filing police reports, calling your bank several times, and being sad from the lack of honesty in this world.

Suggestions:
1.) Shred Important documents if they are no longer necessary.
2.) Do not give your credit card number over the phone.
3.) Be careful when buying online. Buy from trusted websites only.
4.) Laugh about the situation, it's better than crying.
5.) Use cash when possible at sit down restaurants.
