I almost lost him that day.


IT was as normal as any saturday, I was inside taking care of the youngins and David was outside working in the yard. I was feeding the baby in the living room when I started to hear someone calling for help. "Natelli, Natelli help. heeeeeeeeeellllpp! I got up and ran to the window to look outside but could not see anything. I ran out the door, the cries were coming from the side of the house. I saw our big green garbage can tipped over and under neath lie my poor, helpless husband, pinned by the big green monster. I thought at first that he was crying, but he was actually laughing. Apparently he stuffed the thing to it's capacity with dirt and rocks and weeds from our yard and when he went to move it, it took him down. He said he gave it a good fight though and it took him down slowly and pinned his legs. I almost lost him that day. I guess I will have to monitor Dave while he is working with such dangerous machinery the next time he decides to do serious weeding.

Poor Dave almost got eaten up by the big mean green monster! Shoot! that is too funny!!!! Yes, I will exclamation point every sentence!

Autumn said...

So funny!!! Thank goodness you were home to come to his rescue!! Laughing that your barbies were the naughty ones!! :)

Amy B. said...

I wish I could have seen that! Hillarious!
I don't understand. David has those huge calve muscles; he should have been able to flex them and flip the can to the ground.:) I guess maybe that six pack is just for show. HAHAHAHA! Sorry, but as the big sister, I have to poke a little fun.

Jamie said...

You can always make me smile. Your posts are just so funny!! I'm glad Dave survived the green monster. I hope it doesn't happen again... for fear it may end up worse next time.

If your sisters barbies went to church, where did yours go to be so naughty?

thanks for that inspiring story!

Natelli Johnston said...

Thanks for being who you are! love the pics!

Natelli Johnston said...

I am so ashamed that you would confess such horrible things and i don't think we can be friends any more.

Natelli Johnston said...

I think you rock! You should be a fire woman, you are such a great rescuer!

Natelli Johnston said...

That was so brave of you, lifting up that stinky garbage off your husband, I would've just left him there!

Natelli Johnston said...

I think maybe you need to make an appointment with your bishop!

Natelli Johnston said...

I just want a lot of comments, so that people think I am really popular.

Natelli Johnston said...

wow! you are so popular! I like you a lot more because you have so many comments!

Natelli Johnston said...

Natelli Johnston said...

I am reading the host and it is awesome!

Natelli Johnston said...

Nice.(comments) So now that you posted Davids funny story, I think you need to post the story about the wrong fuel....that goes down in history as a natelli classic. My kids still talk about it now and then, along with you driving away with out your food from drive-thrus!

Rochelle said...

Im in real need of some friends could you stop on over at my blog and make me look popular too.

Karlee Christiansen said...

Nat you are so funny. Love your blog. I still want to know who the mean girl in high school was.

Karlee Christiansen said...

By the way, I followed your advice and updated....it is more of a quarterly blog.

Rochelle said...

Was there a tiny part of you that wanted to leave the garbage can on him just so you could make him suffer?

Rochelle said...

Are you thinking now that you should've let him like thsat while you at least went and got your camera?

Rochelle said...

Dear Grandkids,
Your grandaddy was a loving man, with great legs and a thing for naughty barbie dolls, he lived a good life yet parted in such a tragic way. He will be missed. But do not worry I will not suffer the same misfortune as I have hired help to take out the trash.
Love,
Grandma

Rochelle said...

you know this would be much easier if I didn't have to type in some crazy word verification every time. You know there are options for that.

Rochelle said...

was you barbie doll like rated "R" naughty or just
"PG13"? You might want to establish that before you go see the bishop.

Rochelle said...

I sometimes wonder if I am the only thinking this is funny? THat might be good food for thought tomorrow.

Rochelle said...

You have so many comments now that I think you're giving Pioneer Women a good running for her money!

Rochelle said...

Man I have no life. I'm way to easily amused.
Okay this is really only taking like five minutes out of my day, I'm really not obsessed.

Rochelle said...

The amount of comments you have really does define you as a person. So far you are a really cool one.

Rochelle said...

You'd be even cooler if you didn't make us type in these crazy word verification things. I mean who cares if some non human comes in and leaves a comment on the blog, it just makes you that much cooler!

Rochelle said...

Loving star girl! Im nervous about the Host is it any good? I'm not a sci-fi girl!

Rochelle said...

Do you know anyone going to Stephanie Meyers Host signing?

Rochelle said...

Natelli's freind asks: WHO IS ROCHELLE AND WHY DOES SHE KEEP COMMENTING ON YOUR BLOG?

Rochelle said...

Natelli's other friends asks: ARE YOU GETTING SCARED?

carlyl said...

Thank Goodness you were there. Oh and you go girl, and that was so heroic of you to lift that garbage can off you husband, you always have the best stories, are you a fire women? oh and can I get your autograph?

Autumn said...

Hayley said...

You are officially one of the funniest people I know.

I love your blog.

tammy said...

You guys make me laugh. Thanks.

Amy Jones said...

Yup, I'm crying. No...not because I feel bad for Mr. Calf Muscles. I have real true-to-life tears from laughing at you and Rochelle. I've decided she's cool. Your story was even better the second time around! I almost spewed diet coke when I saw you had 38 comments! AAAAWWWEESSSOOOOME! Love ya Nat! (Ditto on the word verification, Rochelle)

Teri said...
