Paul is Toast

I waited all week for Paul to notice that I beat his best bubble score by seven! Not by two or three but by seven! (With very little effort on my part I might add...) Much to his surprise and big boy ego, he was so toasted! My inexperienced fingers that are always 12th in Mario Kart (that's last place for those that are wondering) whipped him. How can this be? Larry thinks I found my true talent. After all these years of wondering what line I was in heaven, I finally know. It was the all important bubble line.
Game on Paul!

Crazy Friends

My friends Mikayla, Miranda and I were bored so we decided to do pictures on my mom's computer. We didn't know how good we actually looked! It's a good thing we don't look like this in real life.

Kelsie & Josh Hanging Out

Taking pictures brings me joy... I am the first to know I have problems with quantity control, but I like to think that is a good problem, though many in my family may disagree...
Josh talked Kelsie into hanging out for more pictures... It's not often when someone actually likes getting their picture taken, thanks Josh! And again, Kelsie will be glad she has them...
I believe they have more than enough pictures now to wallpaper a substantial room.

Movie Night in the Backyard

The only way to really enjoy watching a movie in the summer time is outside in the backyard. Anything else feels like a waste of a perfect summer night. Add the crickets and a cool breeze, snuggle with your sweetheart and something magical happens... or maybe it was Mark Walberg?

Today Ash, Linds, Katie & Conrad and I went to Swiss Days. Boy! It has gotten crazy crowded there. It was good to be with the girls, though as we past Deer Creek on the way home, I wondered why we didn't just go floating instead.

Kelsie & Josh

Josh is heading back to Michigan on Sunday to finish up his Senior year and Kelsie is a senior at OHS. We will miss having him around here. I easily talked Josh into pictures, Kelsie wasn't quite so easy, but she will be glad she has them :) Life is always better when we share it with someone special isn't it?

Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder... and Josh thought the lady on My Big Fat Greek Wedding was homely?

The River

I was born to be a floater. I knew when I was little that I was happiest around water... the river, lakes, ocean or even a real good water fight. I still am. I would imagine one day I will be the world's oldest, wrinkly lady and I will be found floating wherever I am able. Today I went with Lisa, Ashlee, Ransom, Kelsie & Josh. We came home to pizza and hot showers until the water ran cold. I like days like today.

Games 'til Dark

Kelsie's friend Josh came for dinner tonight and afterwards we played four square & speed until we couldn't see the ball anymore... It was a good day hanging out at home and getting to know him better before he leaves for Michigan to finish his senior year. We'll miss him and look forward to when he comes to Utah again... hopefully soon!
