Tandum Biking

For enrichment we got Tandum bikes. At first I didn't want to go. I didn't want to ride bikes, thought it was dumb. Well we got there (roommates and I) and we rode them...it was love at first pedal. I had so much fun. My roommate & bff Valerie and I were riding them forever. Well after enrichment we got bored. There were six of us. We figured...lets go tandum biking. I was on a bike with a guy, Olivia and a guy, then Val and Amber together. Well my partner was going fast and we hit a ditch where the bike bucked me off. Don't worry I didn't crash to my death...i lived. I actually landed on my feet running down the street. ha ha. It was hilarious. If you know me you know that I am very clumsy. You are probably really shocked that I landed on my feet. After we got a little smore cooker out and roasted some marshmellows and starburst. What a fun night!

Harry Potter Adventure...

My roommates, friends and I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and don't worry, we dressed up. What could be more exciting then sitting in a line for about 5 hours hoping to get good seats. We brought candy, games, homework, books, magazines and a ball. I will tell you Wynnsong Theater is not as good as the new Theater at the mall. That one they give you little samples of food in the line. This one it was just a little more crazy. The movie was great, wasn't my favorite Harry Potter movie but I did enjoy it. Part of that probably had to do with it being the midnight showing. :) I love attending midnight showings. My next one will be New Moon in November.

Babysitting!

I love babysitting, maybe its because I watch the best kids in the whole wide world. They are all so easy to watch and they love to play with you. Some of my favorite memories are; playing dress ups with my nieces, catching my nephew putting butter on his toast and then just eating the butter, Playing Hide and Go Seek with Wyatt and Weslee, Dancing to Shania Twain with the Mitchell Girls, the best though is getting to hear whats going on in their life. My nephew McKay is now 9 almost 10. He is so fun to talk to, and loves to tell you the fun things going on. Which girl is crushing on him, hearing stories about what him and his friend Max did. Then there is Sweet little Abby who will tell you she has been kissed, then later you find it was just on the forehead and we shouldn't make it a big deal and then you hear about her bully that you just want to go beat up yourself, then you remember she is only Abby's age. Then there is silly goose named Josie who just loves to make you laugh and who also loves to laugh. I will never forget when my friends came to babysit with me and she put on a show for them. They all loved it. Where would these three be without the monkey named Kimball, He loves trucks. And he will blow you a kiss if you do something nice for him. You get Molly who loves to laugh and play outdoors, and where would she be with out Barney...? She wouldn't be Marney. Then there is Stella. She just turned 1 and is going to be amazing. She loves to smile and loves it when you look at her and talk to her. Don't I have the best kids that i get to watch when their mothers need me too? I know I do.

A Celebration Ending with A Bang!!

4th of July is one of the best celebrations. I love the 4th of July! My grandma Francom was born on the 4th of July. The 4th of July before she passed away she got to celebrate my nieces birth on her birthday. We still get to celebrate, and it is so much fun.Usually my 4th of July start out with Breakfast with my dads family. I love them, we all get to talk and then my Aunt Julie breaks out the games. 4th of July is not the 4th of July without Aunt Julie's games. After we go home watch a movie, fall asleep before the movie is over. Next thing is getting ready for family to come to our house. We live so close to the stadium of fire that my relatives come over for fireworks. We usually watch a movie on the side of the house. Listen to the singers at the stadium of fire. We hear them every year. Then we end off with the big bang of fireworks. Well this year was a little different, not the same at all I should say. This year I started off on the 3rd by going to the balloon launch. What a fun time I had. My roommate Olivia texted me and said time to go. I got out of my bed. put my purse on then my jacket, brushed my teeth and put my glasses on. That was good enough for me. Then we were on our way. What a fun experience to be there. After that we went to Jamba Juice and fell asleep. The 4th I went to my wards breakfast and then off to the parade. I think I've only been to the parade 2 times maybe 1 time. ha. But I had so much fun. Maybe it was the company I was in. After that I was on my way to a family party. No one was really there. I was shocked. Usually its crazy. But not this time. We were in charge of a craft, that's right we did friendship bracelets. So fun! After we did our ritual of sleeping. But no one really came over for the fireworks just family. The birthday girl came down and we got to celebrate with her. She got some cool bday presents, and she loved when we would sing to her. This year it was weird not to have my sister Mckenzie and her family with us. Every year the Helicopter and Jets fly over our house, its amazing. I love it. We listened to some Jonas Brothers then the fireworks began. My niece with the bday loved it. The best part of the night was when she figured out how to take pictures of herself with her camera. ha ha. later a few members at the home did fireworks..illegal ones. They got visited by the firemen. ha ha it was hilarious. I love the 4th of July, glad to celebrate the bday of America.

Hannah Montana

Last week I took my nieces; Abby and Josie to see Hannah Montana. I don't know who was more excited me or them. We bought our tickets and our treats and headed off to the movie. Josie was in love with the fact their were horses in the movie, and Abby was just in love with it. Which made me happy. Well one point of the movie was Josie had dropped her box of nerds. You hear them spill every where and then she picks them up, upside down. You hear a big spill. Then she would pick up hand fulls from the sick sticky ground and put them in her mouth. This just made me laugh. She still had a lot in her box so luckily I got her to come sit on my lap and eat the ones in the box. They are such fun girls and I had fun taking them to a movie and Ice cream. I am lucky to have the best nieces and nephews in the whole wide world. :)

My New Addiction!

Do you ever get bored? Wondering what you should do? Well for me I get on my computer and I go to the website Picnik or even crazy photos. I can do it for hours and have so much fun. I even downloaded programs on my ipod. Keeps me busy and have fun creating pictures to be different.

You Matter

I found this on Seth's blog. I love it and it really inspires. I wanted to share it with you. :) I hope you like it just as much as I did.

You matter
When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.
When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.
When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.
When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.
When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.
When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.
When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter.
When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.
And when the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.

Manti Temple

My ward went to the Manti Temple last night for that Miracle show. I didn't really want to go, a few ward members changed my mind. They kept telling me it wasn't going to rain they had checked. Sure enough on the road it was pouring. We got to manti and everything was wet and it was pouring. But the savior was there, the rain stopped about an hour before the show. But our blankets were wet there was really no way to keep warm. Well the show began and wow I was so touched with the story. I loved it. All the times I went I've been younger and had the attention of a 2 year old. Now that I am an adult ":)" I was paying very good attention and wow I was really impressed. I just love Joseph Smith, He was so young and yet he was very Faithful of the things that were going to happen. And was very true to God and Jesus Christ. Wow!! What a brave young man. That would be hard when all your peers are telling you, that you are crazy. I am greatful for Joseph Smith. Very Very Very Grateful!! On our way home my friend who was driving was going a bit fast. I told him "I hope there are no cop cars around." Which to me was a total hint of you need to slow down. Sure enough there was the cop and his lights went on. I told him. We didn't get home till 1:40, wow it was so late. Everyone else in the ward got home around 1. Ha ha. Oh what a good time. :)

A crazy day!

Saturday, what a crazy day. My roommates and I had friends over to play night games and they didn't leave till around 1:20 am. After Olivia, Valerie and I stayed up till 3. We talked and stared at eachother. I didn't get a chance to go to the bank before so I figured I would go that day before 1 pm. Saturday I was woken up at 11 am. I couldn't believe I had slept for so long. But realizing I had gone to bed so late it all made sense. Well I walked outside to hear a guys voice. I was in trouble. Some guy in my apartment was going to see my lovely self before I got ready and stuff. I talked to Valerie who said she would take me to the bank. I was so excited I grabbed my checks and we were out the door. In a few minutes we were there in the drive thru to see the bank had changed its hours...what? why was this happening to me? I was not happy. We then went to another bank in S. Provo. They were closed. What was this? I needed money and fast. I was going to a movie soon and needed to buy my dad a present. Well Valerie decided we should try her bank that it wouldn't hurt. Shortly we were at her bank asking them questions about me cashing my check there. They said they would do it if; I signed the back of the check, my number was on the check and a photo ID. I had forgotton my check. I must mention the bank closes and 1 and it was 12:30 at this point. We hurried back to the apartment where I realized I had left my wallet at Albertson. So we hurried to Albertson and that is where we met precious Ginger. Ginger HE was working at the costumer service where I asked about my wallet. Well he was my hero he brought it to me. and get this. We were on in our pjs and didn't even brush our teeth and lookes so nasty and he still hit on us...um..awkward? well we hurried to the bank with one minute to spare and sure enough...the lady earlier lied they couldn't. Dang it. :( I didn't get to get my dads gift and I now owe my roommate 10 dollars. Oh goodie. I then slipped on the cement and hurt both my feet. At that point I just wanted to break down and cry.
