Family--Finally

I know I haven't been very good at updating my blog this summer. Lots has happened. the last two weeks I have been with my family. First I went to Oklahoma to pick my sister up from her mission.
We're glad to have Martha back! While in Oklahoma we were able to visit a couple people Martha taught and go to church in her first area. We also visited the temple in Oklahoma.
It was also nice to see aunts and uncles in Oklahoma. We enjoyed spending time with them and seeing a little more of Oklahoma. It was fun times with Adam, Mindi, Dan, Wendy, and Kim.
While in Oklahoma I found a treasure at Wal-mart. Believe it or not, these are very LARGE pickles in a bag. Yep, They are even named.


Martha was able to come home to a warm welcoming of all her brothers, sisters, nephews, and one niece. We enjoyed a nice weekend playing at the gateway, going to temple square, going to the zoo, and sitting around chatting. ISN'T FAMILY WONDERFUL? I love you guys!

7 seconds

You may be asking what 7 seconds means. It could mean a number of different things like how long it takes to run to first base in softball, . . . . How long my first kiss was? . . . . Maybe even how long I went without a calling after being released as Relief Society President last week. Well if you were to guess any of these you would be wrong. 7 seconds is the perfect amount of time to dunk an Oreo.!!!


Disclaimer-this is not the correct way to dunk an oreo.

It is scietifically proven that when dunking an oreo, if you dunk for 7 seconds, you will have the perfectly dunked treat. You can time it with a stop watch, count 1 mississippi- 2 mississippi, or even have someone else count 1 alligator-2 alligator. No matter how it's done, 7 seconds is the perfect amount of time before you can experience the deliciousness. If any of you think you can prove me wrong then I dare you to give it a try.

An update is coming, I promise!!!!!! It will be well worth the wait.

Disclaimer: Our friendship is a LOT better than the pictures are :)


HAPPY 29th BIRTHDAY FORDNEY!!!!!!!

Sarah and I have know each other for 16 years now.

She moved across the street from me right before my 13th birthday. We went to junior high, high school, and college together. I am so glad of that. We have shared many memories together and here are some pictures of a couple. Enjoy!!

This picture is in Logan. Shayleen went up to Utah State for school and we all enjoyed going to visit her. This is one of our weekend trips that influenced Sarah to go there for school.

This is a picture of Sarah at Goblin Valley our freshman year of college. We went during spring break and enjoyed the wonderful hikes and four-wheeling. She enjoyed a few more things than that too. :) During college we had tons of fun and took frequent little trips but spring breaks were always an adventure.

This is the infamous prom picture. Yep, I still have it. Please don't get mad at me for sharing it with the world.

This is a high school friend picture we got taken at sears. Thank goodness we all aged really well and learned how to apply make-up and get ready. You can't take away the fact that we had great friends and lots of fun though.

THANKS for being such a big part of my life and being such a great friend Sarah. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Love ya!

My Special Friends!

I have many, many, many, wonderful friends and if you are reading this, chances are you are one of them. I thought I would take this opportunity to make a little shout out to some of my "Special" friends.

This is Scott in Mexico admiring one of the beautiful jump suits in the window. It's too bad you couldn't afford that one scott. You would have sported it well.

Ouch!!!

Tylor and steve are my"special" friends This is a midnight trip to wal-mart because that is what I like to do with my "special" friends.

This would be Angie. Sometimes we like to take fieldtrips to the movies. Angie really enjoys those trips. :)

Morgan received a fanny-pack for granduation and this is the excitement that exuded from her when she opened it.

I think this is self explanatory.

Natalie loves animals of all kinds. Her favorite thing is to cuddle up real close and snuggle with them. Way to be close with this one nat.

I bet not very many people get to see this side of Emily. Aren't I lucky?

THANKS FOR BEING SOME OF MY SPECIAL FRIENDS!!!!!! SURE DO LOVE YA. :)

Wow Tylor, you're fast

Happy 1st Day of Spring!!

One great thing I have been waiting for all winter is golf. Now that spring is here, so is golf. Emily and I live on a golf course and this picture was taken from our patio. This is about 100 yards from the tee box, I'm guessing this kid hasn't been golfing too much but who knows. :) I don't have much room to talk.
Golf fever is in the air so I had to go hit a bucket of balls last night. Emily and i went and I realized I have a lot to work on. My body is feeling a little pull here and there too. I don't know if it is from the golfing or the batting cages. Either one, I'll need to work on that.





This is Emily and her nice back swing. She is better at golfing than me but kind enough to let me go with her. Thanks em. Thanks for helping me to form the addiction as well.

The next picture is of me and that swing isn't too bad for me but it's nice to see that I have poor form and there really is a reason why I'm not the best golfer in the world. :) I over did it a little last night. Hence the pull on my body here and there. (If there are any golf experts out there looking at this, let me know if you can give me a tip by looking at that picture.)

Some may ask why golfing is a fun sport but just try playing for a summer and you might find out why. It really is a self improvement sport and there is something about trying to do better every round you play. It's nice to know that your score directly indicates how you personally play too. Golf is just great.

Just a little tid-bit of information, golf stands for gentlemen only, ladies forbidden. Who knew. I'm glad that has changed. :) Stay tuned for the beginnings of softball and other wonderful outdoor activities that start to take place in the SPRING.
