Don't you just love when family comes to town?! I sure do! Michelle, Chris, Zach, and Caroline flew in this week and we just had a wondrous time :)
Quel and Z-MAN!!
We celebrated my Grandma's 80th Birthday party!! All us kids (kids including all older siblings up to age 29...) went out and played some basketball!! It was so much fun :) A different day we played some soccer (of course) in the backyard and obviously our BEAST of a team made up of me, Nat, and Ness won. Just like we did on the 4th at Oakridge. So much win. No one can touch our team. haha But back to the B-day party.. we had the BEST cupcakes ever!!!
They are just...gorgeous!!
Then the other day we headed to the Real game! I love going to the Real games when I can :) Especially when we win!! YES 2-0 RSL victory. And Espindola scored in the the second goal in extra time! It was so sweet. Not as sweet as the USA women's win against Brazil though. That was SUCH the most intense game ever. I loved every second of it. Well maybe not too much. I did get upset when they said Solo stepped out on the pk...and when the other team kept flopping...and when our girl should have gotten a yellow and not a red card...but other than that it was fantastic. Hope Solo saved our BUTTS in the end. Awesome save keeper!!! haha Anywho...the field at the Real game looked beautimous.
And the view coming out of the game wasn't too bad either...let's be honest...this is the best picture my phone has ever taken.
Also I went boating today!! It was a blast and I got up on a slalom ski for the first time on my first try today! WOOO!!! And of course I squeezed in some wakeboarding :) No tube wars today...but we have all of Lake Powell to make time for that awesomeness. Peace!
Fact! The subject for this blog was inspired by one, Dwight Schrute.
"In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, "Ow, I hurt my leg. I can't run. A lion eats me and I'm dead." Well, I'm not dead. I'm the lion, you're dead."- Dwight K Schrute.
"Fact! Bears eat beats. Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica."- Jim Halpart while thus impersonating Dwight :)
Fact: I'm the best sister/babysitter ever. I babysat for three days and the kids love me more than anything else in the whole wide world.
Evidence:
Me, Marquel, and Hunter dressed up to wake Taylor up in the morning!
I took the kids to Joy luck for dinner!
we hung out on the tramp!
Tay held Hunt like a baby...so I held Marquel like one!
Other fun things we did this weekend included: Cars 2, a trip to Oakridge for swimming, played some soccer, made homemade pizzas, and of course took a hot tub run or two :)
Fact: I am now crushed.
Evidence: The other day as I decided to grace my brothers with a concert (at first it was me having too much energy and singing dramatically and annoyingly, but then it turned into a real concert) and I began to sing "On my Own" from Les Mis for them. I hit the high notes and sang it wonderfully...so I thought. Not only did they shoot me down, but they told me to stop singing. So there goes two dreams of mine. 1: to form mine and Kylee's band called, "The Jersey Kids" (cuz we'd wear bball jerseys of course) and I'd sing and learn to play guitar and she'd be on the keys. It was going to be wondrous. We would perform along the blvd at nights and become ridiculously famous. 2: To be Elphaba or Eponine on Broadway. You see boys, you crushed two of my dreams! Epic fail. We'll see if I'll ever sing. ever again. haha
Fact: Jersey days are the best. One of my summer goals is to wear my brother's bball Jersey's...a lot.
Evidence: I've already gotten started and had some adventures with Camie and Ali! And of course I wore my jersey when I went down with some amazing friends to camp out and get demolition derby tickets! But those pics will come at a later time when I get them...and after the actual derby :)
Epic Blvd pic is a must. Probably more of these to come in the future!
I often quote Natalie Tran when I do something pretty hard core or when
I just feel cool...and I flex and say, "Bring me a baby to sacrifice!".
Yes, it's odd. And yes, I love it. :)
Yes we had a picnic in the middle of a raging river of death.
the water was really cold.
We are just so cute. haha I was going to edit this picture...but laziness won.
Oh and I REALLY love these guys! Thank you Stewart for posting these guys on Markie's facebook wall for me to find :)
