"Who Could Beat Up Who" Ranking

Last night (while lying in bed, trying to fall asleep) we discussed the ranking of “who could beat up who” of the classic Hero’s.
This is what we decided…
1. The Jedi (Hands down the toughest!)












2. Superman (Hard to beat the man of steel)












3. Wolverine (This is a toss up. He only beats Batman with his super human healing.)












4. Batman (Where does he get those wonderful toys?)












5. Spiderman (His spidy sense outwits Indy)












6. Indiana Jones (He beat the Nazi’s…twice)












7. Rocky Balboa (Singlehandedly ended the Cold War)













What do you think? Choose….but choose wisely.

Meeting Kynslee

Today Brea’s cousin Ally came over to show us her new baby girl, Kynslee. It was so great to see Ally and to hold Kynslee. Kynslee is only a month old but she is already so big. She has a perma-scowl but it is so cute. It was wonderful to see them both!

Star Wars

My family is an avid Star Wars family. Not only are the Stones ‘men’ fans of the movies but the sisters, nieces, nephews, pets, mother’s, and beyond. I believe I could quote the original three movies verbatim before I new my own address. When the ‘revamped’ version came out we could pin-point each and every change. Granted I am not as big of a fan of the first three movies, Star Wars still is a classic in my mind and I do still consider myself an avid fan!!

The other day as my husband got home from work and I was cooking dinner while watching TV. As he walked to the bedroom to change out of his work cloths, he glanced at what I was watching, his face quickly turned to surprise and shock as he proclaimed, “You’re watching Star Wars?”
“Yes, it is the fifth one, it was on TV. Cool, huh?” I shrugged off while continuing the meal prep.
“I didn’t know you even liked Star Wars!” He continued in his still shocked and slightly suspicious tone. It is hard to explain the moment that followed. Even now I think of it and my mind goes blank. So you must just pause, sit here for a moment with nothing, absolutely nothing in your mind, reading nothing and seeing nothing, ready go…

Keep going that was defiantly not awkward enough.

That feeling, that feeling of nothing, it is the feeling that hit me after my husband explained this. It is like the feeling that the wind was just kicked out of me, but painless. It is still hard to understand how my husband (whom I have known for almost 3 years) did not know that I liked Star Wars.

This phenomenon has made me think that maybe others (and possibly even myself) don’t really know who the real Breanne (Stones) Newson is. So I have decided to go through the ABC’s (it seemed like the most logical place to start) and find out who I am…stay tuned to learn the truth behind the ABC’s of Brea!

*I know it sounds elementary. But I am suffering from brain trauma- so please, no poking fun!!

Pumpkin Carving

Sunday Glenn and Christy invited us to carve pumpkins with them. They all carve with stencils (which I have never done before) but since I wasn’t doing much of the carving I agreed. Ben and I decided to carve a scary witch. All the carvings turned out great. It was a very fun night!!

Parents to the Rescue

Ben had a lot to do with school and work and I was still unable to be alone, so Mom and Dad came to Rexburg to my rescue. They got here on Wednesday. Thursday, I was still feeling pretty sick so we spent the day at home. Dad got to get a lot of work done and Mom got to go shopping (to Porters). Mom made us dinner (and you know a Mother’s Homemade cooking is always good for the soul) and Dad made us laugh non-stop (I had forgotten what a goofball he was).
Friday we went on a long drive around Rexburg. We got to go see the newly harvested potato fields, the temple, the apple orchards (we stole worm infested apples for a crisp), and I was able to show them the BYU-Idaho Campus.
Friday night I was feeling a little better so we all went to Big Jud’s for GIANT (1 lb) hamburgers. Mom and Dad had a hard time believing the size of the food but agreed that it was delicious. We shared one burger between the four of us and we were stuffed (that is until we got home and had apple crisp).
It was so wonderful to have my Mom and Dad here to help us out. Sometimes just the perfect thing when you feel sick is your parent’s special touch.
