Error!

LOL! I have three blogs people...every now and again I post the wrong post to the wrong blog...the 1950's post was for work. It's all fixed now though! :)

Amber&Chad

My friend, Amber, was married on Friday (congrats!). She was nice enough to let me take pictures at her wedding & reception and I thought I would post a Just couple of them here for YOU to enjoy! :)
Thank you again, Amber. I had so much fun, and learned A LOT!
(These lessons to come in another post =D )

Swagger Wagon OR Sports Car- ONE

I was waiting patiently in a car line to turn out of a parking lot yesterday and I saw something that made me laugh.
Out loud.
In my car.
Alone.
(I think other people tend to stare when this happens...)

Anyway- sitting right in front of me was a white van-with the word "sport" written in teal cursive just a hair above the word CARAVAN.

Dear Swagger Wagon driver,
FYI: A rear spoiler does NOT a sports car make. :)

WHO at the Dodge Car Co. decided..."Hey! I know, lets put a spoiler on the caraVAN and call it a "sport"!
I feel there is more than one person at fault here.

If you own a van (mini or otherwise) embrace it! They are great vehicles that serve the wonderful function of transporting many people at once. Much more fun than having to drive in two or more cars! :)

On the upside- it's the little things like this that make me laugh!

-"Peace and Blessins. Peace and Blessins"
(ha ha ha)

P.S.
If you do not know that "swagger wagon" and "peace and blessins" are from YouTube videos- you must come talk to me. I'll show ya the funny! :)

"Camping"

The fam when to Diamond Fork to spend a lil quality time bonding with nature, each other, and the various spiders, rocks, bats, snakes, voles, and mice...wait...that's only ME that isn't a fan...
Okay...let's try that again....
So, the REST of the fam took their tents, their 5th wheels, bikes, etc. up Diamond Fork Campground.
(Yours truly chose to go up and spend the day pretending she was a camper, and then snuck off with all the stealth of an inept ninja under the cover of night-and a little firelight- to head down the canyon to her NON-rock infested bed, and then snuck back up in the morning in time for breakfast... which is always yummy when "camping" by the way!)

There were stories told.
There were items broken.
A few things that are placed with positive accuracy in their proper
"will burn"
or
"will NOT burn"
categories.
There were new spaces explored.
There were old embarrassments re-lived
and new embarrassing moments created.
Some new games learned,
and LOTS of laughing!

I have to say- I love this clan! :)






LOL! (apparently I really like the shot with solar flare!)

"ME!"

Okay, so just a little somthin' for y'all while I'm processing pictures from Diamond Fork and the Cedar Fort Rodeo....




Coop is a funny little man...
His newest thing when he sees something he wants is
to yell "ME! ME!" until you give it to him.
I realize this isn't so cute as one gets older,
but for now...
well- just LOOK at that face and tell me you wouldn't be
willing to give him whatever he wanted! :)

Bring this monkey a banana the next time you see him and you've just made a new best friend! :)

We Missed it Wednesday... (AKA Summer Fun Monday)

We have been slackers of the worst kind this summer! I'm not even kiddin ya!
Every year Denise, Grandma Kay and I plan out Monday's for the kids. Sometimes
it's as simple as a day at the park, or it could involve a bit more planning.

The summer of 2010, however---LAME SAUCE! (as my friend Julie says!)

We finally decided to make up for missing this past Monday (though did we really- cuz it was B's birthday and we had a great day of fun??).


Today we took the short people to Nickelcade (now known as Nickle City)
where they could amass yellow tickets to their hearts content, and then, at the end of the day, trade them away for McDonald's toys at the counter.

Oh- and there was Laser Tag.

Laser Tag = F-U-N, my friends.

At first it was just Parker and Hunter who wanted to play, but when I asked the
guy in charge about it, he was kind enough to give me a little tour of the playing field. I came out and told everyone I had purchased their ticket, and they were playing too. (Cheep! $4 bucks/person)

Mom, Denise and I were on the BLUE team
Parker, Hunter and Brooklyn were on the RED team.

I'd like to say the old people pulled through and kicked their trash...I'd like to,
but reality is they kicked ours. =D





For as long as I can remember Denise and I have had an unspoken rule/expectation--> If there is an air hockey table- we're playin'!

The score is always close, and I'll be the first to admit that Denise usually wins- with the help of my hand-eye coordination...that does NOT exist.



We already have plans to go back.

Wanna come with? :)

Birthday Fun

What a F-U-N day we all had today! The morning was a little out of sorts, but once we got into the partyin' mode- we were good to go. We managed to get the Escape decorated so that EVERYONE knew it was her birthday. We even managed to get a few honks and yells of birthday wishes.
Brooklyn chose to go to Iceburg for lunch (Yummmmy shakes), and then it was off to one of our favorite places...Color Me Mine.
She painted a beautiful water pitcher a beautiful blue with sunflowers (her favorite flower). It will be done on Friday, and I am so excited to see how it looks fired!
The next stop was Boarders where I know Parker and I had a great time...perhaps we annoyed one or two people, but if you had heard his giggle- you wouldn't have cared one little bit either! (By the way- this is where I picked up the "cheese touch"- but not to worry, I managed to pass it along) =D
Next stop was to grab a gourmet candy apple, and then home to some fun decorative balloons and a bubble machine.
My stomach hurts because we laughed so much& my cheeks hurt from all the smiling!
All in all, I'd say that lets me know it was a GREAT way to spend the day.


...how DID I get so lucky?
