My Madagascar 2 Movie
is GONE!
I feel empty.
It's official.
I have had my blog for ONE year as of last Sunday.
Let's flash back to my first post... shall we?
Long story short, Didn't get a slurpee. :( Sad day.
I have had my blog for ONE year as of last Sunday.
Let's flash back to my first post... shall we?
p.s. July 11, aka 7-11 fell on a Sunday this year.
I was torn between keeping the sabbath (it would be supporting working on Sunday) and my favorite tradition....Long story short, Didn't get a slurpee. :( Sad day.
This is what I looked like today.
Mosquitos... go die.
You are making my job pretty miserable.
Thanks.
I LOVE the 4th of July.
I love everything about it.
America. BBQ's. Fireworks.
Family. Laughing at Drunk People.
The white trash Vernal parade.
Sunshine (some years).
Going to the Lake
EVERYTHING.
Unicycling is in my life because of this day.
(the 24th too but we won't count that haha)
yaaay Unicycles!
(the drill team didn't ride them this year! lame!)
We go to the super lame Vernal Parade
(please note the hint of redneck in the background)
Magic School Bus with Dinosaurs on Top? or what?
Oh how I love my town.
Last Summer
I went paint-balling for the first time in my life! It was a blast!
Went boating
Watched the fireworks
... all amazing.
But
Afterwords Alesha Watkins and Hanah Gillman drove throughout Vernal
found people who were lighting off fireworks in the street
Windows rolled down
Screaming things like "USA! USA! USA!"
and...
"America!.... Land of the free, Home of the brave"
Which was met by whoops and hollars
(Some hick lingo there)
Best. Night. Ever.
Miss those girls.
This year was pretty awesome as well!
The highlight of my 4th of July weekend was that I got to see Carrie Underwood!
13th row tickets that I didn't even pay for!
How does that happen? you might ask yourself.
I work with this guy named Quintin Huber.
He LOVES Carrie. Right when he found out she was coming to the Stadium of Fire he got tickets. So that is where the 13th row comes in. He originally planned to go with his friend, but she was being uber lame and told him she couldn't go because she couldn't get work off. So he is worried about not being able to find anyone, and I tell him that I will be his last resort if he can't find anyone else to go. (I didn't want it to be awkward if he said I could come and then found someone he would rather go with) So a week before the concert I get a text that says, looks like you are the lucky winner who gets to go to Carrie Underwood with me! I was stoked!
Two days before the concert the girl who was originally supposed to go called him up and said,
I got work off for the concert.
Oops. He told her he was already taking him and she chewed him out.
I felt bad, but what can ya do?
At the beginning of Stadium of Fire they said a prayer.
After the prayer was over, in the silence,
I yell "AMERICA!"
In the spirit of last year of course.
Provo is lame, no one even helped me out.
They just looked back at me like I was an idiot.
Lame. I missed my hick town.
(I yelled it at the Vernal fireworks the next night though, and got a better response)
Carrie Underwood sang the national anthem.
It was AMAZING!
She is so beautiful and talented.
Oh, and spiritual.
She sang How Great Thou Art and I loved every second of it.
She sang it towards the heavens and teared up. She rocks.
It was a blast and a half!
She was obviously amazing,
and the fireworks were incredible.
Oh, and the row across from me totally had to dodge a firework!
I witnessed it with my own eyes.
and... I was jealous it wasn't me. It would have been a killer story.
AMERICA!
Land of the Free,
Home of the Brave.
So I was watching Cake Boss last night,
This guy totally made a replica of his wife.... cake style!
Made me think of my Mookeensta.
MY little sister is headed straight for TLC. She already has some SWEET cake skills!
Happy Birthday Mookenna!
(Yes, she made her own cake. We told her we would make her one but she wanted to make it)
Happy Anniversary
Keith and Lori!
McKenna and our cute neighbors made this awesome cake for their anniversary!
They used Fondant and everything! It was way impressive.
Note the Fondant roses and vines.
and remember Hailey's specially made birthday cake?
The girl has skills!
Happy Birthday to my adorable little Kenna!
and Happy 24th Anniversary to the 'rents!
California.
(its a must to take a feet on the beach picture in Cali, I think)
My mom's baby brudder Jeremy got married last weekend! We were all really excited for him, 
and REALLY excited about the fact that they live in California and were going through the San Diego Temple. :D I'll take an excuse to go to Cali fosho!
p.s. The temple was having some work done (you know a face lift and what not) so there was scaffolding covering it. It was kind of an unfortunate time for that to happen, but people were making the best of it! One wedding party was taking pictures with hard hats on in front of the temple. Jeremy and Star will be going back later to take pictures after the temple is all beautified again.
So happy for them!
Okay. I had to get the main point of the trip out of the way before I could really zero in on the fantastic widdle details.
REWIND.
The parents and "little girls" (we will ALWAYS call Jamie and Kenna that I think) left to go to summer games the week before, and then just decided to stay in St. George and drive to Cali at the end of the week. Originally Hailey and I would have driven with them, but Hailey had cheer camp when my parents planned to drive. Hailey didn't want to miss Jer's wedding, so the decision was made that Hailey and I would fly to Cali and then drive back with the family later. This allowed Hailey to do her cheer stuff, and I got to work another day before I had to leave.
Hailey had never flown before.
I flew to Texas with my parents when I was 8.
Don't remember a thing about it except that the ground looked like a quilt.
This was going to be interesting.
Chelsea and Jeri Kerns were kind enough to drop us off
and help us figure out all the junk you have to do.
A few things I found out about flying.
1
Don't pause in the security line.
("What's the hold up here? Keep moving people!")
2
Sometimes a big man with a newspaper blocks the itty bitty window on your row
so you are not able to see anything.
3
Hailey has no sense of the personal space of strangers.
She leaned way into newspaper man's space so she could see out of the window.
4
When newly weds on their way to their honeymoon sit in front of you displaying gag-a-licious amounts of PDA you can punish them by periodically changing the channel and or brightness, volume, ect. of their tv with the remote that just happens to be on the arm rest they put in the up position.
5
Sometimes girls have hair that can house small animals or.... pretzels.
The pretzel thing was Hailey. Yeah, I don't know. The things Hailey says sometimes.
6
As a Flight Attendant you get to hand out free food and drinks and get really good at saying
"and what would you like"...pause for order..." and what else would you like"
He said that same thing to EVERYONE.
7
After playing a delightful game of "make this shape into something" on a plane napkin,
it can later become a suitable wedding gift.
8
Quiet planes are a perfect setting for some freestyle whisper rap about
all the previously mentioned people
We made it. Alive.
Probably wouldn't have if it was up to the people on the plane with us.
That night we had the Wedding dinner thing,
the day after was wedding festivities,
and after that we FINALLY made it to the beach!
We spent the majority of the day at the beach or in the swimming school.
We all ended up burnt.
(My burn came from the day before waiting at the temple, the next day I took a sunscreen bath)
That night we went to Old Town
and learned about the Mormon Batallion.
The no-smile in honor of those days
The earlier attempt. (epic fail parents)
My sisters and myself in front of someone that is important
Panning for riches.
It was really a cool place. I learned things about the Mormon Battalion I hadn't known.
They were promised by Brigham Young that if they went and were faithful that they wouldn't have to fight. The prophesy came true. They had hardships, but they never had to fight.
The U.S. army supplied uniforms but for some reason (I forgot) they were unable to get them to the saints, so they took money instead that they were able to send back to help others move West.
They had a flute that was used by George Washington Taggart, one of our ancestors.
I felt the spirit strongly there, and it made me realize how much I want to serve a mission
If it is what I am suppposed to do of course. Guess we'll see.
After that, we wandered the streets of Old Town
where we met a poor little orphan Parrot.
Insta-friends.
After we ate at Subway. Yum.
We are pulling out of the parking lot afterward when we see this guy walk by. He was walking by our vehicle not seeming to notice us. He had scraggly hair and a hoodie that only covered about half of his pop belly. Because all of our doors and windows were shut in the car my mom said out loud, "That guy's shirt is ridiculous!"
Right then, the guy looked over at our car
He put on this almost creepy grin, raised his eyebrows, and nodded in our direction.
Did he hear you mom?
We were so confused about it. How did he hear what she said? it wasn't very loud.
Then, someone else walked by and we realized that he just wasn't all there, and it was just something that he did all the time.
We had a good laugh about it though.
As we were driving away, I realized I wanted a picture of him so I could blog about it
but my mom wouldn't turn around. So blame HER.
WOOT WOOT.
Until next time. I have some more exciting things to blog about.

June 8, 2010.
I know I am way behind, but I just couldn't go without a tribute to my girl Lo Tru.
...especially because she is now my hero for stepping foot on THE BURIED LIFE BUS.
'NUFF SAID.
Lori was put on this earth with the sole purpose of being my friend.
(Okay, probably not, but she might as well have been.)
Since we are art majors, not english majors...
I will stop yapping and you can enjoy this visual representation of our friendship.
Just a little taste of our delightful friendship...
oh, I almost forgot the most important one
And... can't forget about our future adventures in Switzerland.
Anyway, I could go on about this girl all day, but unfortunately I had to make it quick.

Happy birthday Lori!
Couple things,
I LOVE MY LIFE.
Job- amazing. I work with such fun people and we hike around the woods and make jokes all day. (Sorry I always talk about it, but I really LOVE it!)
Family- What can I say, I love them. Crazy fools. It's good being able to live at home for a little while before leaving for USU again. :)
Ward- I've said it on Facebook, and I'll say it here. The BEST ward to ever exist. Everyone is so happy and friendly. I just catch myself smiling whenever I'm with my ward family
The gospel is true, we're all children of God, life is GOOD!!

Hailey Sprouse= 17 years old today.
I have already bragged about how awesome she is here
I love her. She is the coolest person ever to walk the earth.
I also talked about how cute little McKenna is about her hand-made gifts. Here is a prime example:
She personalized some of Hailey's perfume by putting papers she decorated herself on it.
Made her an "H" shaped piece of cake
and a coin purse she stitched together with a magnetic clasp
SO cute that she goes through all this trouble for her family!
Oh, and some other love from this weekend
Sometimes the poor youngest gets some extra lovin' from her big sisters.
Since returning to Utah's Dinosaur Land, I have been forced to follow an apple-free diet.
Therefore, I have had to resort to consuming only PC.
I need apples in my life.
So, I took a journey down memory lane in search of the Uintah High School Apple Orchard.
aka Mrs. Gillman's beautiful Mac Lab.
The purpose of my journey was to design something for HURD (USU's spirit club)
and also to design a Timber Crew T-shirt for work.
well, I did neither.
BUT, I DID design my blog header.
I kind of like it, but when I got on my blog after returning home
I realized that I had forgotten to fix my left eye.
So, apparently I am now a
So, apparently I am now a
Pirate Dinosaur who is a fan of the Aggies.
Woot.
(actually I just changed the header, so if you didn't see, you missed it)
(actually I just changed the header, so if you didn't see, you missed it)
There are many different kinds of apples to choose from,
ALL of which are delicious.
I would take any of them, but currently the apple of my eye is:
MacBook Pro.
Someday.
P.S. Say what you want about Uintah High School but the Mac Lab there is unreal.
Wireless Mice and Keyboards, Drawing Pad, CS3 about to get CS5 next fall.
and a whole lab of those beauties.
An apple a day keeps the Dr. away.
