Strawberries, clowns, and scowls....

This past weekend was Strawberry Days! That of course meant that Amber and I had to put on out boots and hats, eat way to many cups of strawberries and cream, nochos, rodeo hamburgers and candy bars, and take ridiculous photos! All the things we rock at! It was a fun weekend!



That lady hated us! This was the first time all night that she moved her face, or showed any kind of emotion! (I wish I were kidding!)

California!

We had a fabulous time in California! I wished it would have been just a little warmer, but all in all it was a great time! Driving day one! Driving day two! (I love that they look exactly the same!) The melting pot! That dessert was amazing!
Notice how Chase and Chet aren't in this picutre? We asked some dude to take our picture and he get about three feet away and snapped it, cutting of the boys! HA It was kinda funny! Sea World!! We were in the "Soak Zone" and yes, it owned up to its name! I love sandy toes! Isn't this amazing! I took this while on the beach! But we had that exact same view from our condo balcony! It was fantastic! On our first night there, our condo wasn't ready yet so we stayed in a hotel. I had a room with my dad and Lori, while Chet, Chase and Kristi were in the room next to us. Now, I remember my dad snoring when I was little, but I never remembered it like this! I had been asleep for about 20 minutes when I suddenly hear the strangest sound I have ever heard! I hear it once, and thought "what was that?" Then again and again and again, and I realize, THAT IS COMING FROM MY DAD!! I tried to put a pillow over my head, didn't work. Told Lori to turn up the TV, didn't work. Try fingers in ears, while humming, with pillow over my head, still didn't work. Yes, it was that loud! So I call Chet, tell him to move over cause I'm coming to sleep in his bed! So, I get to their room and I'm explaining how insanely loud his snoring is. We lough about it and go to bed. It wasn't until the next night in our condo that we were in the living room and my dad had already gone to bed, his door shut that they hear it. Yeah- through the wall, that they finally got it! It was crazy, so needless to say- we had to get it on camera! Lori- don't you dare tell him, or show him that this is on here, he would kill me! Sorry dad! But, you have to hear it to believe it!

Old friends- Good reminders

When I first moved out I met a very amazing person. My first roommate I ever had, she was from Alaska and was here for some personal healing. Today I stumbled onto her blog threw someone elses and I was so touched to read what she had chosen to base her blog on. When we lived together, I was able to take the discussions with her and be there when she was baptised into our church. She was so excited. She was a great influence to me. She really helped me to become a better person. And as i read her blog today I was able to see what a great testimony she has gained. It is amazing to me, to see what a huge influence our church and beliefs can make in a persons life, and I am so grateful that I was able to be apart of that. To be able to witness someones life change for the better. It was a huge faith builder for me when the missionaries showed up on our door that day, because we had just been talking about them the day before. Whitney, if you ever read this, I hope you know how grateful I am to have been apart of that huge amazing change in your life. You a strong, beautiful person, and I know that you can over come that personal struggle that you fight. I'm so proud to call you my friend! Love You!

Mayzie Mae!

So- I just realized that I never really talk about my cute little puppy on here! And I'm not really sure why- She is my favorite living thing in the whole world! She is always happy to see me, sad to see me go, hates me when I give her bathes, wakes me up every morning with a kiss on the nose, and dances for treats! I love her!

And she still is, and always will be cuter than all of your dogs! He He!
