The Kids

2009-11-15T20:39:00.000-08:00

I love them. They are the best!!

The Girls (Tyler and Kamryn):

The Boys (a disaster - Gavin is on the couch, it's like Where's Waldo - but maybe a little easier):

One more coming on Thursday - 3 more in January. Holla!

My Babies!

2008-12-29T22:39:00.001-08:00

Okay...so they aren't MINE mine. But they are mine. I love these kids...I have the cutest nieces and nephews ever!

Matching Christmas jammies!

Longboard!!

2008-12-08T17:51:00.000-08:00

I have wanted to learn how to longboard for a long time. I'm one of the biggest klutz's around, so I imagine that I will break something soon, but for now, I am pretty excited that my new longboard came in the mail!

It is getting colder here in Utah, so who knows how much I will actually be able to practice between now and the Spring. Either way, I'm one step closer to my goal of learning how to ride this thing!!

(Picture to come)

TAGGED!

2008-10-11T14:44:00.000-07:00

This is a fun one I have never done or seen before. My sister, Brooke, tagged me and the rule is, you have to post the 4th picture in your 4th folder in your pictures folder. Then give a brief description before tagging a few more of your friends. Here's mine:

This picture makes me laugh...it's Boston eating ice cream...I think he's probably about 2 here? He still gets just about this messy when eating ice cream. Love this kid!!

Okay, I tag Amanda, Cassie, and Amber!

Party Time!

2008-09-15T19:47:00.000-07:00

So it's Robby's (my cousin and one of my best friends) birthday today. Last night, we had a party at my house for him...and we needed some treats. So my friend Rafe and I made 100 mini cupcakes to serve the masses. It was actually lots of fun and ended up being an easy treat at the party. I mean, who doesn't love cupcakes. Plus, I just left them out on the counter and people could come grab them at their leisure.

We had a fun time...Happy Birthday, Robby Rob. Looks like the party isn't about to end anytime soon :)

And Happy Birthday to Michelle today, too! Turns out some of my very favorite people were born on September 15!

Sewing Class

2008-09-11T17:37:00.000-07:00

So I started a sewing class last night. I have made it to almost 28 years old and don't know how to sew. Not even a button. So I've decided to take charge and learn!

I signed up for classes at a place called, "The Finishing School"...they teach domestic skills. So I am taking beginning sewing. It's a 6-week course...and as of last night, I now know how to thread a sewing machine, sew straight and zig-zag lines, and use the serger machine. Look out Martha Stewart!

And as a fun side note, Mindy (my sis-in-law) was in town last night and so she came with me to the first class. Fun to have her with me!

So...next week I learn how to make a pillow case. Hope my family is excited about pillow cases for Christmas :)

NBA Night at Ruth's Chris

2008-04-27T21:11:00.000-07:00

So on Friday night, we went to Ruth's Chris for Tyler (and Dave's) graduation dinner. We were seated at a table right next to Kyle Korver (BBall player for the Utah Jazz)...and he was there with his brother, his parents, and his grandparents (we think...from what we could assess). It was fun to see him somewhere else besides at the games.

And then a little while into our meal, Yao Ming walked into the restaurant, too. It was nuts to really see how tall he is...it was nuts!!!

Then, when Korver was leaving, I asked him if Mindy and I could get a pic with him...so we did :)

BUT...the most important thing was that Ty and Dave graduated from BYU and I am so proud of both of them!!!

Cowgirl Up!

2008-03-25T10:56:00.000-07:00

I'm visiting Kentucky this week for Easter and loving spending time with my family!

My niece, Tyler, thinks its fun to dress up in my clothes. And you can see from the picture that the boots fit perfect. She's a Kentucky girl!

SWEET Love

2008-02-14T17:44:00.000-08:00

So in Holladay, they have recently opened a cupcake shop (seriously, such a grand idea!)...it's called 'So Cupcake' and they pretty much only sell cupcakes. One of my raddest friends, Grimmy, got me some for Valentine's day. So I thought I would share the loveliness with you.

First of all, they came in this cardboard box (for some reason I really love cardboard boxes with fun stuff in them, such as flowers or cupcakes). Then, when you open them up, there is just sugary goodness.

I need to get some friends over here quick to eat some of these...otherwise, I think I will probably gain about 10 lbs eating them. Long live cupcakes!

Happy Valentine's Day!

LUST

2007-12-02T19:04:00.001-08:00

So Robby, Jer, and me were driving home from Stake Conference this afternoon and drove past this sign. We were laughing so hard that someone would take the time to make this cartoon character have a word bubble coming out of his mouth saying, "LUST." So of course we had to turn around and go back to get pics of it. I don't know why I find stuff like this entertaining...

Angels and Airwaves

2007-11-11T18:50:00.000-08:00

So Angels and Airwaves came out with their follow up CD this past week (I-Empire). It does not disappoint. You know how artists sometimes put out their first CD and it is amazing, but their second CD isn't as good? This is not the case with Angels and Airwaves. From the first song, I was hooked. So if Angels and Airwaves is your style of music, for sure get this CD!!! (skip song #11...it drops the f-bomb a couple times...).

Now...where is The Fray's second CD?

Livin' It Up In Kentucky

2007-11-11T17:04:00.000-08:00

So it's been a little while since my last post. Partially because my stinking work won't let us access blogs anymore from the office. So I can't post anything until I get home from work. And that usually doesn't happen because I get sidetracked as soon as I drive away from my office. I've also been a little M.I.A. because Curtis (mentioned in many of my previous blog posts) broke up with me a couple weeks ago and I have been preoccupied with dealing with that. FUN!

Luckily...I was able to come out to Kentucky to spend some time with my family. My work is flexible enough that I can work from my office out here in Kentucky. It has been nice to get away from the social scene and just be able to spend time with the family.

The best part about being out here is getting to chill with my nieces and nephews. I was out here for Halloween and got to go trick-or-treating with my niece, Tyler and my nephew, Boston (my youngest nephew, Ryder, didn't do trick-or-treating just yet this year...but he makes a very cute caterpillar!). Boston has trick-or-treating down to a science! He looks like an innocent two year old when he goes up to the door...but then he grabs a handful of candy and runs. It's awesome.

I also got to attend my parent's ward talent show. If you have never been to a ward talent show in Kentucky, let me tell you...you are missing out BIG TIME!!! This talent show was awesome to me because my mom had to do the Napoleon Dynamite dance with the rest of the YW Presidency. She was nervous, but did so good!! (and Kristin...remember when we were trying to learn that dance in my kitchen? I now have step-by-step instructions on how to do the dance! We will have to have a dance party and learn it!). My dad also had to perform in a skit and lipsync. All in all, a great time.

Another benefit to being in Kentucky is that my brother, Adam, and my Dad are die hard Utah Jazz fans...which means that I get all the games (NBA Pass), plus all the commentary. If you talk to me, I can pretend like I know what I am talking about when it comes to the Jazz. Not true...I just repeat whatever they say :) But seriously...Go Jazz!!

So I am so excited that I just posted. It's been forever! I'll try to do better (now that I'm here in Kentucky, there isn't as much to do...so I should be available to blog it up!)
