(for some reason they look blurry. . . but if you click on them they look SO much better!)

Why be normal. . . When you can be a Hutchison??

2009-08-04T17:24:00.000-07:00

Grandma's look. . . especially when one starts taking pictures of her. . =-) But they were really happy to see us.

Typical Jeremy look. . .

My daddy has really white legs. . . . Look at those dark arms and then the legs. . . looks like a completely different body. . .

Walking down to the lake. .

Awh . . . . I like them a whole lot =-)

LOVE IT!!!!
I love bear lake!!!! It was kinda chilly. . but I think it was warmer than it has been in a long time.

Gotta take a picture of the feet.

I like everything but this part. . . but it goes away by the time you get to your knees. . .so its not to bad. . and frogs live in there so its totally worth it.

Luke and Marie. . . I like them. .
And him too!!! (Baby Brody!!!)

We have a night of dancing. . . Stacey likes to dance. . Very entertaining. . . I like her too =-)
I don't think I can explain this one. . Bishop Orton ladies and gents. .

Bo got the camera. .
Um. . . Not sure. . But I do know that its Bo. . . I shave more often than that. . . =-)

I hit myself with the air hose. . I wasn't expecting so much air. . it shocked me a bit if you couldn't tell. . . =-)

Bo still has the camera. . . I thought it was a cool picture. . .

HAHA! What a brother I have. . .

A few years ago Muffy found this to be a nice resting place. . .

This year she found the towels. . What a cute dog I have. . I like her.

HAHA!!!!
Tender Moment. . .

The view from the camp ground. .

This is where I slept. .
This is were the skunks slept. . (AHHHHH)
SO close. . Kinda scary. . But they didn't bother us much. .
You know your a red neck when. . .

But hey. . It worked really well =-) Good stories around that fire. . My Uncle Ken can tell some awesome stories.

My Grandparents ROCK!!!

This is Uncle Ken. . He and another friend run the auction and it is HILARIOUS!!! This is one of those bath towels for kids. . but he kinda looked like a religious leader. . . So funny.
Good times at the auction. .

After we went swimming I got a really really curly curl . . . it was kinda cool looking. . so . . Of course I took a picture =-)

After we got all set up Jeremy decided to tip the table. . . I just was about to snap the picture too. . . so I got the whole thing. .

We all found it really funny. .

That's Bo. .

I take far to many pictures of Muffy. . but I just can't help it. .
She is so cute!!!

Bo. . . There really is nothing more to say. .

My grandpa may be one of the funniest people I know. . He starts crackin jokes and they're funny (and semi dirty). . Love it.

My Grandma Great's baby sister. The reason the reunion is the reunion. . . (there are two of them left)

While everyone was packing up. . . the girls decided to make one last trip to the lake. . .
and we found frogs!!!! They were SO cool!!!

We were on the search. . .
We all had em at one point but jumped out of our hands before we could really get em. . . Marie finally got a good grip. .

Then Stacey did!!! It was really cool to catch em!! I love frogs. . .

All packed up and almost ready to go. . . Our little tent trailer is a great home for a few days.
Marie took a picture of my shadow. . and then I had to do a few poses. .

My mom is a thinker. . She was thirsty. . Cups were gone. . So . . . She got a drink =-) then we all had to try. .
My dad moved it so water got all over me . . . but still fun. .
My grandma cracks me up!

We were up the mountain unpacking stuff at the cabin. . There were three um. . . . hawks? flying around. . it was pretty cool . . (I am hoping they are hawks but I dunno for sure. . )

Muffy does really well in the car. . she just snoozes the whole way.

You know your a red neck when. . .
You stop on the side of the road. . open the fridge that is in the back of your truck. . and make sandwiches. . . Across the street from a Subway. . .
Bo and Stacey wanted nothing to do with our "redneckness" but I personally, enjoy every second of it. =-)
So did Muffy =-) Good times!!!! Good memories!!!
Sometimes she looks like a puppy!! That is her " I KNOW YOU HAVE FOOD SO GIVE IT TO ME" look. . She perks up her ears and gives you that look. . . one just can't help but give her a taste or two. .

Good times at the family reunion.

24th!

2009-08-04T17:06:00.000-07:00

This is what we do on our holidays. . . . We got to fix the deck. . It was kinda fun. . but lots of work. . .

This must be where I get my love for photography. She takes more pictures than I do!

Replacing the deck. We took off the carpet that was on top and we put new plastic. . ness on top.

The beautiful Bear Lake!
Laying down the protective layer so the room below doesn't get snowed/rained on.

The 3 of us just sat. There wasn't much to do for a while there. . .

Bottoms up!!! Like father like son. . .

Jer got a lizard! It was climbing all over my dad. . .

We had a nice chat once he got on my shoulder. .

Its a cute little guy. .
But we had to let him go. . .
Half way done with half of it!!!
Getting closer!!!!

I had to leave for the rest of the side though. . . But it looks GOOD!!!!

Found Videos!!!!

2009-08-04T16:26:00.001-07:00

This is what entertained the family did during general conference. We can only keep our attention to the TV for so long.

It makes me laugh.

Holiday Month. . .

2009-01-06T21:30:00.000-08:00

I got thinking about ten minutes ago that I really had a whole month off for Christmas. . . I was done with classes on the 14th of December and I am going back on Jan. 12th. . . How awesome is that. The first and the last I am shore.

For as intense Christmas parties are. . . I love them. So much work but even that much more fun. I love to see all the family and friends and the food is FANTASTIC!!!!
We had SO much food at the Williams family party and the room was set up very festive. . ly. .
Santa even came to see all the great-grand kids. It was very fun to see the excitement on the kids faces. .
After Santa. . We usually have a little talent show but it has died down a little in the past few years. Everyone cheers brandon into singing and this year he had something prepared.
They sound really good together.

Then we had to cut down yet another fallen tree. And they just cut the last one down for the safety of our cars. (and family and friends that may come to our house of course.) My funny dad moving the tree onto the drive way so they could chop it up.

Orton Family Christmas PartyThere are two of luke and marie do to a photography error on my part. . but everyone else is in there. Including my grandma and grandpa Williams. . They came for a bit to say hi to everyone. I was really happy they came. The Orton Grandparents really like the William Grandparents. It was a fun party.

Yet another fantastic party with family. It was very fun to get to visit with everyone and I discovered that I had an awesome cousin. . Who knew one could change so much in one year. My awesome Grandparents. They are very funny. I like them a whole lot.This is my cousins little one. . He can throw a football better than my brothers. His dad played football for BYU (pretty sure. . humm. . .) But anyway. . . He is really good. We usually have a little talent show after dinner and all these kids got up and sang/mumbled jingle bells. It was very funny and they were all giggling. Tender moment. With the Williams party we have a white elephant pass deal. . . Someone reads "The Night Before Christmas" and everytime they read "the" or "and" you pass it. I can't remember which one we did this time but it was very fun. Grandpa Orton ended up with a little purse and he was bound and determined to keep it. He had it up around his arm before we could pass out dessert. He wasn't going to let ANYONE take it away from him. It was a very funny moment.

Sometime during the break I went sledding with Mego, Casey, Hayden, Cody, and Austin. It was SOOO much fun and I semi-learned how to snowboard! It was very cool and I want to go again soon and actually get this snowboarding thing down. . . . Maybe some day. . There was a cool hill that had a little jump in it and we all flew off of it. Mego was funny. . I think after this she ate some snow. . But that could have been casey too. . I forget. . . This is Hayden .. . He hit the ground pretty hard on this one. I just laughed. )of course(Cody turffed it a few times but he is pretty good with the snowboarding thing. .

and Austin is amazing. He is kinda falling in this picture but he is pretty good and quite a funny kid.
Mego fell a little. It was really deep snow and we were just sliding down this huge hill. She was walking and just sunk. I laughed. . This is Hayden coming down the steep hill and almost hitting Austin. . I think he got out of the way in time. .
Cody was a bit unsuccessfull. . . But. . another laughing moment. Cool picture with all the sleds. . They were fun little things and they would get going pretty fast down some of the hills.

Pictures of the post!!!!CHECK IT OUT!!!! I did SOOO much better than I was expecting. I was really happy to finally see the final grades. Whoda thunk it. My first semester of college is done and over. . . YAHOO!!!!!!!!!

And if you look closely here. . you can see muffy looking through the window. When she is outside she peeks in to let us know she wants to come in. Its very cute and SO random to see her little head popping up. I kinda like my puppy. .

Thats all. I hope ya'll had a happy holiday break!

My welcome home present!

2008-12-13T09:37:00.000-08:00

I moved back home just last night. This is how I am welcomed back.

Poor Monty.

I tried eating the tree but it didn't make Monty feel any better about it.
The tree is a lot taller than I thought it was.

Luckily there was no damage. A few scratches is all we can find right now. Purdddy lucky.
A tree fell on my car.Guy, Adam, Goldie, and my dad. . maybe a few more. . moved it off my car. Thanks Buddies!!!

ITS MY LAST WEEK!!!!

2008-12-11T12:54:00.000-08:00

FINALS WEEK!! SUCKS!!!!!It has been a busy funny full week.

It snowed on Monday!!!! I WAS SO EXCITED!!!!

This is my footprint after playing in the snow. I like it a lot.

I made Jamba Juices!!!!Doesn't it look really fantastic!
Kirsten is scary when she holds knifes.
From what everyone told me they were tasty. I thought they were. I liked it. A lot.
This is Kirsten and Liz when they were looking out the window at me playing in the snow. And the packing is going on this whole time.Kirsten and I had a HUGE water fight. I WON!!! It was awesome. Everything was rather soaked. Including Kirsten. She got me with a few marshmallows but her marshmallow gun was no comparison to my water gun. It was awesome.We made a we bit of a mess.
I surrendered my gun a little to soon. Kirsten didn't give up for a long time. But after putting a oreo heart on my door she was done. And then the clean up began.I don't think Liz likes it when we have fights but I hit her with the water gun a few times so I think she just didn't like getting wet. I think she is funny.
One of the nights we went out to dinner! Chilis is a good place.This is the drive. . . No one was really ready for the picture. I giggled. Believe it or not. . This is our first picture all together. The first time we actually did something all together. Kinda funny. But it was way fun! Lots of giggles. And I struggle a lot. But that is another story. Wednesday night we did Christmas! It was way fun!I don't think I took one normal picture the whole night. Keeps life interesting eh?Nikki was really excited for Christmas. Andi and Sam just make me giggle. They are funny gals.
This is the cool CTR ring that Nikki got all of us. Its like the rubber bracelets but its a ring! Its pretty nifty I like it. The twins got us Deseret Book gift cards that I am really excited about and Liz got us yummy smelling lotions. They are Christmasy too!
This is what Kirsten got me. Long funny story behind it. It was very funny and Nikki and Liz were in on it. What can I say. Its funny. Nothing I can do about that.

It was a very good week.

PICTURE OF THE DAY

I'm bringin sexy back.
I was dancing for Kirsten. I am speechless again. Gotta love finals week. Crazy things happen.

Polka Party!!

2008-12-03T12:03:00.000-08:00

Polka Party!!!

For Social Dance we had to go to a party deal. It was really fun.

About half way through the night we had a Polka competition. Unfortunately my polka partner didn't show up so I didn't dance in the competition. But it was very fun to watch.

I bet its weird to think that I can dance that huh?

Anyway, It was a really fun night.

Thanksgiving Week! It was a long one.

2008-12-02T00:05:00.000-08:00

Boy oh boy did my family have a big week. Sunday. . Got big news. . exhausted myself keeping a secret that I didn't keep very well. . . Monday we set up the outside Christmas lights. . as apposed to the thanksgiving lights. . HAHA! Duh. We have far to many lights and most of them don't even work. We got everything we wanted set up though. Some say they could see our house from space. I beg to differ. . there are a lot of people that do a lot more damage.My good ol' daddy putting up the lights. He was a monkey this year. He was all over the trees. I just laughed. . . of course. Muffy came out and helped us with the lights. In all reality she just distracted me and we played on the lawn for a minute or two til she was to tired and probably went inside to go back to sleep. What a dog.

Then on Tuesday I finally got to clean my car! It was way over due and I have missed that shop vac. Now my car is pretty and clean again.

On Wednesday (my dad's birthday) Luke & Marie, my parents and myself went to Bear Lake. Muffy came along and decided her new place in the car is on my lap while she sneezes all over the car window. I don't mind it though. I like it when she likes me.
I was shocked when we got to the lake. Without actually being there. . ya can't really tell whats going on there. . but the lake was higher than we have seen it in a long, long time. Very exciting.

Thursday, of course, was Thanksgiving! Yummy!!! We watched the parade and then layed around all day and snacked a bit. Then the yummy dinner. I love mashed potatoes and turkey and gravy and corn. YUM!!!! Not so much a fan of the Yam. . Ew.

My grandpa makes me giggle so I thought I would post a picture.His smiles always, without fail, make me laugh. Its just my grandpa. I kinda like him. My foot at bear lake. I'm not sure who does this everywhere they go. . . hum. . . I kinda adopted it though. Very funny. Luke, Marie and Dari went for a trash run in the Ranger. Its like a golf cart for the mountain. I like it a lot. I got a little picture crazy as usual.
Then. . . Guess what!!!! Nope. . . Guess again. Awh man! How did ya know! Kidding. Its late ok.

There was a deer on the side of the road. It kinda looks like it might be sleeping. . but it moved a little before I took a picture. Maybe it just blinked right in time. Who knows. Awh. Tender moment. Luke stopped driving just for this picture. Then we saw another deer at my grandparents friends, uncles, brothers, little sisters, step mothers, aunts (twice removed). . . Cabin. Ok so maybe its just their friends cabin. But there was a deer.
Oh come on. If there was a toilet sitting outside with that kind of view you would take a picture too. I like to call it the pondering poop shot.

So. . . I don't know if this was after a lot of food or someone was rubbin her belly. . but Luke found her like this. I kinda like Muffy too. What a dog. We watched a movie and I am pretty sure she stayed like this for a while.
We played a few games. I like playing games. Especially when we all get so competative about it we just giggle.
I think he just might have been bored. But he sat for a minute and watched us play skip bo.More deer. There are two "of" them one over the "of" and the other one is over the "ther" in other that I just typed. HAH! Sometimes I make myself giggle with my dumbness. This is what the cabin is all about. (relaxing) I love it!
Who even knows. What a dog. She is SO funny and a little bit of Marie was wanting her to fall just so she could laugh. I just know it. Kidding Marie. Just kidding. Cabin clean up! Doesn't take to long when ya got a lot of people working on it. I work for a bit and then get distracted taking pictures ever time. Isn't it a lovely thing.

Another picture happy moment of mine. I kinda like my family.

K. . So. . Now we are back in Murray and I wanted to send pictures of our christmas to Jer Bear so I took some. . And . . they aren't my most proud pictures but they'll do.I just love Christma. Just a happy moment when everything is finally put up and done.

Saturday my mother and I finished putting up all the christmas decorations and I was invited to go with the Arnolds to watch Bolt with the girls while everyone else went Twilight and Bond somthing or other. Bolt is a very very very funny movie. I laughed through most of the show and the animals are just funny. Thats all.

Then Sunday. November 30 2008. Ouch. Can't ya just see it in his face. No more secret giving aways though. . well. . for now that is. My daddy is offically the Bishop of the Murray 22nd ward in the Murray Utah Parkway Stake. We had lots of family to eat dinner.
The norms. . .
Grandparents. . .And my dad's sister and brother both came along. Irma and Dale make me giggle and Richard wouldn't let me take a picture. Funny man.
Right when I took this picture my grandpa sucked his gut in with everything he had. It was very funny. Maybe ya had to be there. . but look at his face. HAHA!We celebrated my daddy's birthday sunday night after his meetings. HAHA! He got to blow out candles and everything.

PHEW!!!!!!! That was a lot in one week wasn't it! Wow. And after two weeks I'll be back home for good! YAY! Exciting year it has been. Time flies when you're haveing fun eh?

Picture of the day!!!Bishop Orton - Need I say more?

Laundry.

2008-11-20T10:27:00.001-08:00

I did laundry again last night. It was going great I had three loads in the dryers and then I open up the washer with all my colors and they were soaked! I could barely pick up my hoodies. I'm just guessing that it didn't drain well. . .or drain at all. SO. . . me being the uber experienced laundry doer that I am. . . I just found the drain in the floor and twisted as much water as I could out of the cloths. Then I put them in the dryer for about 45 minutes and they were still soaked! So . . . I was tired and out of quarters so I figured I would just bring it back and hang everything up. I was very amused and of course I just giggled. I had to sleep with my door open so I could dry my cloths and that was a bit chilly. It was very funny. I'm glad my apartment buddies wouldn't put this past me. I'm sure they are use to the randomness of my life.
All of these were dried. . So I just piled them up so I didn't have to put them away just yet because my hangers were all being used.
It was a very funny experience. I enjoyed it.

Picture of the day!!!DL just sent this picture to me. I gave Little Tatum a tie dye uh. . . onesie. . if thats what they are called. . . and she is actually wearing it! She is a little hippie!!! I LOVE IT!!! Definently made my day. Thanks DL!!!

And. . just a side note. . . Dory isn't a real fish. . I didn't think I would have to explain that but everyone who has seen it so far has said. . (if it was jokingly I couldn't tell). . That it was a real fish. So. . She isn't real. Just a battery operated swimmer.

WE GOT A FISH!

2008-11-19T17:49:00.000-08:00

So. . first off. . .

We went to St. George this weekend! It was pretty fun we went and visited the temple and played Black Light Golf at this cool little place. We also had in and out burger again and we went to an ice cream not ice cream place called Spoon Me. Very odd.This is our shadow while we were driving. We giggled.

NOW!!! OUR FISH!!!!!!

This is our fish!!!
THANK YOU CONNIE!!!!

We named our fish Dory. She is. . a little directionally challenged. . but who isn't. We like our fish. I think we just might keep her. I think that when it comes to shower time she'll have to be kicked out. . but til then. We have a fish!!!

HAHA!

Nothing but time.

2008-11-10T12:41:00.001-08:00

I have far to much time on my hands. I am bored.

Maybe I should just study. Get out my books and actually read them.

Anyway one looks at it. I am bored.

Ice Cream and Snake!

2008-11-05T15:00:00.000-08:00

We have developed a bit of a tradition. Grandee's Tuesday. Every Tuesday Grandee's has a 10% discount on SUU students if you show your student I.D.It is very good ice cream.GUESS WHAT!!!!!
I HELD A BALL PYTHON!!!!It was SOOOO cool! He was really smooth feeling and did you know they breath through their nose and smell with their tongue? Cool huh? And! The reason they are called Ball Python is because when they feel like they are in trouble they curl up in a ball with their head in the middle to protect their head from getting crushed and what not. COOL! Ya learn something new everyday.
After a while he started moving around a lot and he slithered towards my face and I got nervous. But it was really cool to hold him. . or her. . I really don't know. . .

Um. . Lots of stuff. . .

2008-11-03T12:08:00.000-08:00

Where to start. . . This is Earl. He was our buddy for a drive home. . . Earl had to die. ( It was the song on when we named him :D)We went to Denny's one night at around midnight and had some yummy breakfast foods and saw really really interesting people and cars. . . Long story. Good laughs.

The Ward Halloween Party!Bret and Elna were hippies. It made me giggle. They fit the part very well. This made my day. They looked so AWESOME!!!! This made me giggle too. . . I'd say they fit the part very well but I might get in trouble for saying it. Mego and Chuch!! I was caught off guard for this one. I had no idea it was Mego till she slapped me. To funny. Good idea guys!!! My parents! They never dress up so I was very excited when I got them to wear those. My dad was pretty excited he didn't have to change cuz all his work clothes are covered up. Them dressing up made my day. Giggles again.
Happy Late Halloween by the way. This is a pumpkin that Liz or Kirsten carved one weekend. I like it. Its a happy pumpkin.

I can't remember the order of the things we did in the past week but this is when we went to St. George.Nikki, Kirsten, Liz, Amanda, and me. We drove down to the george and it was actually very fun. I enjoyed myself.Best hamburger EVER! And the fries were tasty too. It was a very good meal. Some of us got shirts and we all got a hat. . As I put the picture in I realized how awkwardly tall I am. Bummer. And that makes up for it. HAHA! I'm a dork I know. After eating, the buddies wanted to go to the mall to walk around. . odd. . but ok. It was fun. I actually liked this jacket. It was nice and warm and probably 100 bucks. (I didn't look)Yeah buddy!!!! I'm pretty sure this doesn't need explaining. I think these glasses are pretty awesome. Need I say more?I can stand on my head.

That is the life right there my friends. I don't even know what to say about this. . . Well. . It is Kirsten. . Thats about it.We put rub on tatoos on our feet. I had a frog. It was pretty neat but came off in a day. Oh well. It was funny while it lasted. I was a little bummed out that it wasn't a floating Tweety Bird head. I guess I'll get over it. This is Elna and Snowy. I'm not sure where she was going with it but she wanted me to take a picture so I did and then I giggled, yet again, but it really was funny. It makes me think of Mickey Mouse when he gets old and white hairy.MUFFY!!!! My fat not so fat dog! I love this little puppy more than life itself. She makes me laugh. . . . I guess I laugh at everything. . But she is really a funny dog.LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!!!
Bucko taught me to do this! You just stick forks together and ballance them on the cup with toothpicks and then burn the edges. HOW COOL!!!! I have pretty much got it down so if ya ever want to see it let me know.

NIKKI MADE A MESS!!!!!!! She dropped a plate of brownies and they went EVERYWHERE! I just laughed. ( OK! So I laugh WAY to much. It keeps life interesting. . and funny.)Nikki started eating it, Kirsten joined and then Liz did too. I stayed away. Personally I don't enjoy eating glass but I guess they are still alive so it wasn't to bad.

PICTURES OF THE DAY!!!I VOTED!!! AND GOT A STICKER!!!!

Soon.

2008-10-30T22:48:00.000-07:00

I have been REALLY lazy lately. But I have a lot to post so I think I am going to do that when I get the pictures onto the computer. Thats all. I'll be updating soon.

Jeremy!

2008-10-15T10:54:00.000-07:00

He is coming home in February! Is it just me or did he just leave two weeks ago. How crazy!?!?!? He better not go for my any of my friends. I guess I should set down the rules.

Thats all. Nothing to awesome going this week. Mainly studying for mid terms and being excited to come home for the fourth week in a row. And playing games with the apartment buddies. Water Spoons. Scary deal. And we have pumpkins to draw on.

I think that is all for now.

It's been a while. Sireeeee.

2008-10-08T22:09:00.000-07:00

Well. . . I guess we'll start with another drive home. This time I was able to bring a few people home with me. Kirsten M., Chelsie S., and soon to be married Jenny and then Nikki from my apartment. We giggled and talked and listened to music and then they started falling asleep. There was the COOLEST rainbow! That one was the full deal. Cool stuff eh?
Then on the way home it was about the same deal. More sleeping less giggling but we started hitting some strange traffic jam is Santaquin. . I think. . . and I looked in my mirror and all three of them were sleeping. . out cold. . but Kirsten's eyes were open! It was WAY freaky. So Nikki started taking pictures. HOW SCARY IS THAT! It was bizarre! Can't help but look at it. Crazy stuff. That there is Nikki with a new hair doo.

Conference Sunday!

General Conference went as it normal does. My Grand-Orton-Parents came and watched/slept through conference while my mom worked on dinner and I just observe it all from a corner. Dinner was FANTASTIC!!!! I love and appreciate a home cooked meal more than ever! Thanks Mom! (awh. . .tender moment)
Then, after dinner, I discovered my new hobby. Baby pictures! It needs a TON of work but how cool would that be!!!!
Baby Tatem. . . uh. . Tatom. . . Tadem? ( DianaLynn and Arnold Torrens' baby) I find it sad I don't know the spelling. Sorry DL. . my bad :D But a new hobby non the less. So stinking cute!

Monday

For RHA we all have to do our closet time. This is a closet . . . that is more so a room. . . that anyone can come rent games, movies, etc. for three days but we have to check them out to people who rent. So I just sit there every Monday from 5:00 to 6:00 some times later if buddy is late. But this Monday was extra exciting. A.) Nikki came and sat with me while we ate chicken nuggets and B.) I had the largest head ache I have ever had and had to give into the drug side of life. and C.) Fire engines went down our street. . turned into Eccles parking lot. . .and went to building C which is where my place of residence is for the week days. There were two of them! I won't lie, I was a little nervous. I couldn't go to close because I didn't want to get caught leaving the closet but I had to see what was going on. Turns out there was a small fire in the mechanical room almost where that light pole is in the top right corner. My room is on the end right there but on the other side of the building. It was a little crazy for a minute but it stopped. Later my closet hour ended and we went to bread and soup night. Rather tasty but next time we are going early.

Walmart again!
So I had a portrait assignment in my photo class and we were asked to get random strangers pictures. SO. . . I asked the lady in the deli ish area of walmart. I couldn't help but giggle. She was a really nice lady and a good sport to put up with me. It was one of the more fun assignements we've had.

PICTURE OF THE DAY!
I stopped in the middle of the road to get this picture. I thought it was SOOOO funny!!!!

Retro Dancing and Cedar Canyon

2008-09-30T12:58:00.001-07:00

Well. . . First. . . There was a retro dance party that RHA put on for the on campus housingThis is about the best I could do for a costume. But I love the fanny pack. See Bobi!! I do have my fanny pack here. :D

This is just a picture of everyone dancing. I stole it from someone's Facebook but it just shows some of the awesome costumes people put together.

So on Monday I needed to take landscape photos for my photography class so I just drove down Cedar Canyon. It was so purty!!!! I took a ton of pictures so I only picked out a few to share.
There is a controlled burning going on. . .So no worries for the smoke.I loved it up there and I'm going again when I have more time to just sit and look around.

If dogs could Scuba Dive
Picture of the day!!!!

I got it off the internet. But how funny is that!

Homecoming Weekend

2008-09-22T13:37:00.000-07:00

Well. Smash mouth was our first homecoming real event then uh. . true t-bird night. long embarrassing story with that very funny though. and then the parade saturday morning with the football game at six. Nikki and I get a little dressed up for the occasion. Of course I have an otter pop in my hand. :D It was rather cold in the tights at the game. . Next time I'm wearing my thermals under.
This is our foot ball team. I'd tell ya'll about the game but most of you probably don't think about SUU football very much. Just know we lost 13 to 19. It was a very long, semi exciting game.

I slept through church. . . I know. . .my bad. But I finally got laundry done. Two weeks worth in about an hour. I had five of the six washers going so it was way cool to just get it done.

Then. Oh dear. Sunday night. I was in the shower and I heard a bunch of roudyness coming from the kitchen. I just figured my apartment buddies were being dorks as usualy (just kidding guys) and little did I know. It was worse than normal. They had started a new game.. . "balloon wrestling" This is where they tape a balloon to their stomach and fight until the balloon pops. It was very very very funny. I was laughing.. well. . .still laughing about it.

I don't know how to get the video's on here but its on YouTube

Part 1 explains it Part 2 is funny.

Thats all. No picture of the day cuz the video's are just to funny for a photo to match.

Smash Mouth Concert!

2008-09-20T14:31:00.000-07:00

K. So I was thinking a Smash Mouth concert would be rather dull but it was actually quite fun.

Towards the middle of the concert the cowboy drummer and guitar dude got a little toasty.

But of course i just giggled.
This is the line up for the concert. It was crazy! There was probably at least three times the people in line but i just got this little bit. This was just to get in the door and Nikki and i walked around to the other entrance and walked right in and found our seats. I think there are four entrances and everyone only used the one. It was pretty funny.This is just the band. . . I thought it was kind of a cool picture. And the guitar dude had really really really long frizzy hair. It was awesome. I could totally pass as a rock star on some days. :DThen this morning. . saturday morning. . there was a homecoming parade. I was quite excited to go and see all the neat things cuz i really like to get out of the apartment. But nikki's friends all came this morning and they all took forever and a day to get ready. The parade started at 2 we didn't get there til 2 30 and by then all the cool stuff was over and then it ended at 3 ish. . . So i missed all the good stuff but I guess thats what I get for waiting. But this is a really cool car. I took the pic for Luke and my Dad. I think its a chevelle. . if thats how you spell it. . .but i don't know if i am right cuz i don't know cars.

I think thats all. As of right now i have no picture of the day but the homecoming game is tonight so i'm sure i'll see funny and random things there.

Have a great day! Thanks for reading!

Alright. You know your jealous.

2008-09-14T20:27:00.000-07:00

HOW COOL AM I!!!! Look how awesome these are!! I got a little tie dye happy but at least its a natural high. . . right?This is a picture from how I see the bottom half of my body. Cool huh. BUT LOOK AT THOSE PANTS!!!! I mean seriously. They rock. The bottoms are a little see through so I have to wear shorts. But its very funny :DReaching for the stars? . . . I dunno. . .

Awh man. . . . Look at me. I'm such a hippie.

Picture of the day!!!!

Ain't she purrrdy. Sorry for the pic if its you that is reading . . but come on. It's funny!!!

Have a great day!!!!!

Tie Dye Long Johns!!!! HOW COOL!!!!

2008-09-14T16:06:00.001-07:00

My shirt. . . (top) and the pants (bottom). . . HAHA I thought that was funny.

HOW COOL IS THIS!!!! The pair closer to you is Nikki's and mine is kinda by the dutch oven. . . Gross. I know. Its not mine or Nikki's and we will not clean it up for the lucky person that it belongs to. But anyway!

HOW COOL!!!As of right now they are in the washer. . . with some wash rags that needed to be washed. . and for experiment. . . SO I hope they turn out half as cool as they were.

Tie Dye!

2008-09-14T00:15:00.000-07:00

Well first off, as most of you know, I go to Walmart a few to many times a week. But this last time that we went there were cute little puppies for sale.I mean seriously though. They were the cutest things I have seen for a week. And you sit there and think how cute they are and how funny they can be and then you turn around and. . . .There it is. If these puppies didn't do that. . .We would have brought them back. I should just bring Muffy down here. She is pretty easy going. . . She still poops though. . .

So as we were walking around Walmart we passed the puzzle isle. That specific isle is a killer for me. I could spend hours just looking at all the awesome pictures. I got four of them. As if I'm not busy enough. It made me really happy because now I have something I can do besides computer when I need to disappear for a minute. I was very excited. At first I started with zebras. . .I haven't done a puzzle for quite some time and I was not doing so well with all the pieces. I barely got the outside done. So I decided to start a new one and finish this one later when I know how to do puzzles again.Sorry its not right side up but this is the new one I started. It has a lot more color and its a little odd so I like it more. . .And. . It glows in the dark. HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!And of course. What would my life be like with out otter pops? Its an addiction.

Now for the TieDye!!!!
Nikki and I got bored so we went to find stores. . . I think. . And we ended up walking into C.A.L. Ranching. . .something. . and we found thermal underwear. . . So.. . We got it and then went to Walmart. . again. . and got tie dyeing kits! I was so excited!!
I went for the swirley look and Nikki went more for the crazy look. . I think.. . It took a long time to decide. .

This is Tyler. He is one of Nikki's friends and he didn't want to Tie Dye but he came to watch. It was quite entertaining if I do say so myself. We used six bottles of dye for our four articles of clothing. It was awesome.
We won't take the rubber bands out until Sunday afternoon so I'm sure I'll take pictures so everyone can see my awesome tie dye thermal underwear.

Thanks for reading!!! I'll show my thermals off after they get washed. :D

PICTURE OF THE DAY!!!!

Nikki and I got really really hungry and everything down here closes at night. . . We found that out after driving around for a few minutes. . . But we stopped to take some pictures. I was thinkin Arby's. Right after this picture was taken the lights went off. We were still hungry. . . We came home and put frozen pizza's in the oven. It was actually quite tasty.

I COOKED!!!

2008-09-11T23:05:00.001-07:00

I MADE DINNER! It was chicken pillows and if I do say so myself. . .They were FANTASTIC!!! We haven't been eating really real food for a very long while and I just needed really real food to make my tummy remember home. So I called my mom and got the recipe. . ( THANKS MOMMY!!!) and Nikki and I went to Walmart to get what we needed and then came home and she cleaned the fridge while I made the chicken pillows. I really really like my apron and it came in very handy when I splashed butter on myself. But thats besides the point. It didn't take me very long to make 8 chicken pillows and I was shocked that it only took 20 minutes to bake. Don't they look amazing!!!! While they baked we were watching "Hole in the Wall" I can't remember what channel it was on but I think its my new favorite show. I would get giggling so hard at the people trying to figure out how to fit into a shape in a moving wall. They would hit that wall so hard and get thrown into the water. It was great fun to watch and made the time fly!YUMMY!!!! My mouth is watering just looking at it. .. K so maybe not but they were SO good. We threw on the cream corn . . yes I took a picture of cream corn. . and away we went. I think everyone who ate had at least two. K so now it doesn't look so tasty but it really really was. Liz even said it was one of her new favorites. YAY!! Dinner is officially a success.

Thanks for reading!

Picture of the day!Boxing panda's. HAHA! That is some funny stuff.

By the way. For those who know about the nameless dog in my car. . he is no longer nameless. A very wise friend of mine suggested Trustworthy and that is the name I chose. Thanks friend!!

Eating. Shopping. Driving.

2008-09-07T21:12:00.000-07:00

Last week Liz, Nikki, Andi and yours truely went to the Pizza Factory. It was very delicious and the bread sticks were extra warm and yummy. I had a pizza . . . cheese and pine apple. . . It was fantastic.

Before we got our food I was a little bored so I took pictures of everyone there and we giggled a little.

Liz
Andi
Nikki ( kinda blur )

It was really fun to go but I really should have been doing my homework or something. . . Oh well :D

Nikki and I make daily trips to Walmart. I think its pretty much the coolest place to hang out as a college student here in Cedar City. We recently discovered that there is a play room in the front of the store and we had a bit of fun there. :D So I'm a little to big I know. . But it was funny and it made scary laughing noises. Poor kids.At one point we were both on the. . . uh. . forgot the name. . how sad. . but it was funny. . we are big kids now.

As you walk into the store Mr. M is sitting there on a bench. . I know everyone had a picture with him but i haven't yet. So here it is. I was a little weirded out that Nikki was kissing him. . . Odd. . . I wish I had a yellow jump suit. . . . Not so much the red hair though. . .

New topic. . . Driving. . The drives home are pretty long. . about three point five hours long and once you've been singing to really loud obnoxious music your throat needs a rest. . And. . Nowing me. . Of course I grab my camera. . It was just sitting right there so I figured . . Why not. So . . This, my friends, is Hula Henry. He comes along all my drives and just enjoys every part of it. He even dances to the music with me. He was brought to me from a far away land and. . I mean. . come on. . That is one awesome guy. This is my orange Warm and Fuzzy. I call him Fuzz because that is a really really really funny word in my head and others who get the joke :D. Fuzz rolls around sometimes. . I should get him some sticky shoes. This little guy sits at my hand sometimes if my hand is there. I have yet to name him. I actually don't know why I haven't yet. Odd. If anyone has suggestions just let me know. ( Later I named him Trustworthy. Thanks Claudia!!!)

HAHA! K so while I'm writing this I hear this huge thud and it turns out my neighbor Kirsten totally fell out of bed and ate the ground. I giggled. ANYWAY. . . . .funnyThese are my sleepy snacks. . I munch and listen to a funny song when I think about getting tired. Then I giggle at the funny song and how I'm such a dork for liking that song and then I'm better and awake. They are Club crackers by the way. . very yummy.This is on my way back to Cedar and they have a COOLEST sunsets. Every time. It is amazing. So there it is. . My computer. . wow. . camera was running out of batteries and its kinda scary to sit and adjust settings on a camera while you are driving so I just left it on the settings it was on. . It could have been much more purty but it is still pretty awesome looking.I dislike very very much when diesels try to pass each other. It happens every time. Its like they roll down their windows and have a little chat about the drive. Bugs. But it is kinda funny when a diesel cuts off the one person that is going 95 mph and then they have to slam on their brakes. That is funny stuff.

Picture of the day!!!SPIDERS!!!! Someone on the fourth floor of my apartment found this guy in their room so now they have to do a bug check on all the floors. . Ok so I'm totally kidding. Some kid found this on his ranch. . I think he said. . but he had two of them and one died. . . It was a little creepy if you ask me. . But really cool inside the jar.

Thanks for reading!! And don't forget. If you have a name for my car puppy let me know!

Now my neighbor thinks she has a concussion because she fell on her head when she fell out of bed. FUNNY! HAHA!

K thats all I got.

Update!! (My bestest friends are now in Cedar City)

2008-09-02T22:27:00.001-07:00

I was given the wonderful opportunity to come home for the holiday weekend!! It was SOOO much fun! My parents, Luke and Marie, Brandon and Stacey and of course. .. . ME. . . went to Bear Lake (the most beautiful place in the world). We played lots of card games and worked a bit and I got absolutely no homework done but it was totally worth it. My Uncle Jeff's family was up there too. There was Uncle Jeff, Jake and Stephanie, Angie, Danny, Abbey, and Nick. It was way cool to hang out with them and play awesome oldie video games. My grandparents were there too. They are funny. :D

On the drive up my parents and I stopped at Wendy's in Park City for a little grub and we had to leave Muffy in the car for a few minutes. When we came out she was perched up waiting for us. She is so dang cute!She has that whole bed and she is barely even on it.

The pup generally likes to go to the cabin and chill. She eats more than I do and she sleeps more than anyone there. She always looks so comfy!!

It was really fun to see my family again and be able to play and hang out with them. Talking on the phone just doesn't cut it sometimes.

It was stormy for a few of the days and it made me really happy. I love the rain! I was so excited to wake up at home Monday morning to a huge crack of thunder and I ran upstairs and watched the rain for at least an hour. I love to watch cars drive through the puddles too. If it wasn't so cold and so early I would have been out there in a heart beat jumping in puddles. But then it was breakfast time and we had yummy french toast. It was amazing!!

I got to go visiting my buddies! I love to go visit all my families and just hang out.

Now I'm back in Cedar. It was quite the long ride back because I saw Bishop and Mary. They were going home from St. George and they called to see if I was in Cedar. I was bummed out when I wasn't there yet but Mary then suggested that we meet half way. We met in Fillmore and got a shake at Carls Jr. It was so much fun to see them!!
This is the sun set. . It was quite a bit more amazing looking but I was driving and couldn't adjust the settings on my camera for it. Cedar City does have amazing sun sets. . . Whoda thunk it. I'm a sun set kinda gal.

When I got here I found my two bestest friends in Cedar City. I was so excited I just gave them a great big hug when I saw them sitting there. They were a little shocked to see me but one can't really tell from the picture. George and Joey!! ( For those who don't know. . . I named my Banjo Joey and my Guitar George. ) They are some happy couple of guys.

Almost right when I walked in the door Nikki and I went to Walmart. Its more fun to go at night and you can run down the frozen food isles and all the lights will flip on as you go. . . but that is besides the point.

It being almost the special month of Halloween they have costumes already kickin it at Walmart. We were passing by and saw some awesome masks. Yes. They have masks of those who are running for President. . . and lots of other creepy ones. . . But knowing me. . . and the fact it was rather late. . . We put em on and took pictures . . . It was one of the funniest things of the week. ( in this picture you can see all three candidates ) There was also this. . . ITS HUGE!!! Tallest bottle of water I've ever seen. . . If it was water that is. We giggled when we saw it (of course).

Now that I know who wrote it I'm going to post it.
For girls camp I got an award about my awesome need to go to the restroom every five minutes because I drank so much water. With that award came a roll of toilet paper and later I found out that this toilet paper had writing on it. BM Get Out Now X Lax toilets. . . its very funny It had turtles with hidden meanings . .
But the best of all was a little poem. I'm a little nervous to post it because I don't know who reads my blog and the age group thereof. I laughed for days and I'm still laughing about it. I'll be honest and admit I didn't get it for a good thirty seconds but then I was laughing uncontrollably.

Thanks for reading!!!

Oh hey. . I just decided that I'm going to have "Picture of the Day" on my blog. When I put a blog on here I'll find an awesome and or funny picture to show everyone. So here it is folks.

(my first) PICTURE OF THE DAY!!Funniest license plate known to man. I don't know if its a bad thing I have that on here cuz its someones license plate. . . But man oh man did I giggle about it.

My first immature freshman night

2008-08-25T00:07:00.001-07:00

Alright. I'm beginning to start enjoying college life. We had a ton of fun tonight just laughing. It all started around dinner time. . We had spaghetti and some strange sprite pineapple stuff. . . and I made sour dough bread in the bread machine. . . It was actually very yummy and turned out a little better than the first loaf did.
I know . . . taking pictures of bread again. . but I like it. And it was pretty tasty. . . but it wasn't ready til a few hours after dinner because we didn't plan it out quite right. . . but oh well . . . After dinner there was a dessert buffet at "The Presidents" home. He has this gynormous houseAnd invited everyone to come to it. . . He is a very very nice guy. After that we came back to the dorms and ate bread and hung out for a bit till we had to go to a "Floor Meeting". This is when all the people in all the rooms on just our floor of Eccles C meets in the "RA's" room for a meeting of some rules. Some rules were added and some were changed and some they just got rid of completely. This is good bad and kinda scary for some things but its still pretty cool to go see everyone and the RA was pretty funny to talk to. A little to much cold medicine for her tonight.
After the meeting we all got a goody bag with an awesome mask in it. The theme of our floor is super hero's and our room is Super Man. He is on our door with all of our names. Super Man makes sure everyone is nice to us and no one comes in unannounced. He is super. When we got back from this meeting Nikki and I were a little to excited about the masks we were given. When we got back we both put them on and it was like they had idiot juice that it gave us. We went a little crazy. . Hence the title of this blog. . . It started out just as us being dumb but we had the door open and the guys across the hall did to. . . SO of course me being me Nikki kept pushing me out in the hall to take a picture of the guys. For those who really know me you are thinking. . . Wow it was idiot juice. . . And I hope that it doesn't get worse from here but we were being flat out obnoxious. . . and it was awesome. Now. . . You have to understand that I didn't want to be recognized and Nikki wanted the picture. . .So . . I covered up.Once I thought about it for a second the boys had just seen me at the floor meeting so I decided to change. . . We never got a picture after this except of the one of the boys. . . yeah i know. . . But i put on a black hoodie and red sweats. . I was unrecognizable. . And i got the picture. . . . This is one of the funnier guys. . . He totally saw me and it took a second for my camera to focus so he got ready and smiled for the candid camera. . . So . . . If any of you were wondering. . . This is a boy that lives across the hall from me and my room buddies. He is a farmer and not my future husband so dad. . . no worries. . . I forgot his major because I wasn't paying that close attention at the "Floor Meeting" but yeah. . . . After that picture I had to go potty and then we all went to bed. . .So the fun ended there but it was a good laugh.

Changes

2008-08-24T11:53:00.000-07:00

Alright. . . SO be proud my friends. . .I went to church. It was the strangest most interesting experience yet. It was almost silent and . . we all know my giggles. . . Every time anything happened it would echo. . I tried so hard to hold it all in but it just wouldn't work sometimes. So there i sit echoing. So irreverent. And then. . . We went to class which was in a larger chapel and not so much echoing but they were getting us to want to go to institute. . . Some seemed kinda fun so yes. . I will be going. Then on to relief society which was strange and a fun older lady taught but my tummy was way to hungry for me to be able to pay attention with out being disruptive. Then we came back to our apartment and ate yummy home made bread sandwiches. It was so yummy but I'm still munchy because I've been raised and trained to eat a very large Sunday meal right after church. . . Changes. Last night we planned out our meal today. Spaghetti and sour dough bread and. . . something else. . .not sure. . but it will be yummy. . I hope.

So church was different . . . eating is different. . .but the temperature of the place is just about the same. One of my room buddies likes it really cold so the rest of us run around in jackets sweats blankets and we are still rather cold. . . its amazing. . . but heaven forbid. . She can't sleep if its warmer than 60. Yeah. . . 60 degrees. Freezing! Thats my only venting moment for the day. I'm cutting back so I can be a nice room buddy for all. But man is it cold in here.

I think thats all for now. Thanks for reading!! Have a geeerrrrrratttte day!!!!

Yeah. . thats right.

2008-08-23T16:16:00.000-07:00

This is what I'm eating as I put this blog on. YUMMY! Its been a good day. I'll put the freshman 15 on for sure. Not a good plan but hey. . I'll live.

I MADE BREAD!!!! It was so amazingly tasty. I was way excited and it smelled SOOO good! I took a lot of picures of bread and so did Nikki. . (you'll see her later) It was a very happy moment in our boring saturday lives. SO here they are. . . Ok so you can't really see it but this is the dough when it started to rise. I was really excited. It took three hours. . . I had time to be bored. It looked a little funky. . . Not quite sure what happened there. . . It was too hot for about two minutes so I took a few pictures.
and now out it came. . .smellin like heaven.
The little mixing deal got cooked into the bread and we all thought it was pretty funny. .So. . . of course I took a picture.
These are the toppings we could find. . . the jams weren't very tasty. . but some used the peanut butter.
Liz Kirsten and Nikki. . . eating bread
. . . . The other two went home for the weekend. . .
YUMMY BREAD!!!!!
While the bread was cooking I got a little bored so I thought I'd take pictures of the apartment like a said I would. . This is our living room. . Kinda nice but the couches are a pretty funky strange color. . This is the kitchen. . if you couldn't tell. . . There is a lot of room and its really nice. . .
The fridge. . . I thought it was so funny that we all brought so much food. . . It probably won't last very much longer but as of right now we aren't starving college students. . .
Here are the sinks. . .they are in the hall and the toilet and shower are in the room kinda behind the mirror. . . I would have taken a picture but ya know. . . .if you've seen one toilet then you've seen em' all.
This is Nikki's foot from walking around. . mine don't get quite that dirty but the carpets do need to be cleaned. . . bad. . . No floor sleeping for me.
These are the doors. . Kirsten Me and Andi are in one hall Sam Liz and Nikki are in the other. . The kitchen and living room are in the middle. .
Just in case you were wondering what ward I'm going to start going to here it is. . 25th ward. . Bishop Holmes. . i think. . . It'll be interesting.
Can't forget the public safety number. I should put that one in my phone.
Thats all. Thanks for reading!

My dorm!! k well my room

2008-08-21T12:52:00.000-07:00

So last night I finally unpacked. Its still a little crazy but thats just how my rooms go :D

I have pictures of my room at home but I don't feel like putting those on here so I'm just going to do my new place.

I am apart of RHA (Residence Hall Association) which is just apart of on campus housing and I get to help plan and participate in housing parties and the first thing we did was the first annual campus tie dye and I got the coolest t-shirt to help advertise so people would come.

This is me when I was oh so tired after tie dying. My room buddies were all in bed. But it was pretty neat but I saw and met a lot of crazy people.

The next few pictures are of my room before I started really working on unpacking it. It was a little crazy.This is when i actually made my bed. The bed comes up to my waist and ya have to be an olympic athlete to get on to them but its nice for storing underneath.

When I first got here the dresser was under the bed and I wasn't sure just how I felt about that. So I moved it to where there was a big gap of spacious spacyness and now I can put junk on it :D

The desk is looking better now cuz I put more stuff away but i love my lamps :D
My closet. Messy as always but somewhat organized :D
I got laughing at myself at girls camp cuz i knew that our strange bibs could make the coolest apron. So there it is. Waiting for me to actually cook.
One of the girls brought us all vinal. . .maybe.. . things to put on our doors. Pretty cool.
One things thats hard to get use to is the doors. They are a little scary and blink a lot. You have to use a card and everything. Its weird.

Its getting a little more homey and next time I'll take pictures of the kitchen and living room and everything but i'm done computering for now. To much technology. Not enough dendrites. HAHA Learning new words every day!!!

College Life.

2008-08-20T23:16:00.000-07:00

I got in the shower this morning and I decided that I needed to have a big talk with myself. So there I stood. And there I decided to just stop. So I'm done with all my crazy feeling crap. I'm back to my normal self and all it took was 20 people telling me to stop and a little alone time.

I am so sorry for making everyone worry and sharing way to many of my feelings. I'm good now and I went out and met lots of people today. I don' t know why I was giving myself such a hard time but oh well. I guess thats just how life goes.

So I'm doing just fine. Its still a little hard but I'm tryin.

Thats all for now. I'll post pictures tomorrow if I get a chance.

Thanks for readin :D

Summer Trips!!!

2008-08-03T23:02:00.000-07:00

I haven't done this thing in SO long! I have actually had a really great summer and I've been to lots of different places inside Utah :D So I though I'd share a few of my vacations.

It all started with Youth Conference. The theme was Celestial Treasure and we started at our bishops house sleeping and the next day we went to temple square and then to cottonwood canyon and we woke up, packed up and went to. . . the name escapes me . . .but this awesome place had a zip line and the "Tram" and some trampolines and an awesome slide that was out of order :( We had to show off our bracelets and I thought they were funny pictures :D But it was SO MUCH FUN!!!! Then on to Orem and had a party there. No one would let Elna take a picture in the morning and DL was the only one willing. I though it is a funny picture but maybe ya had to be there. Maybe I was the only one who thought it was funny and we all know that's normal for me. But all in all Youth Conference was an awesome experience and I'm happy I was given the opportunity to go.

Next was girls camp!! I have always loved girls camp! It is more fun when it is just the ward but I like the stake because I get to see more people and my sister in law was there and my mom. So it was way fun to be able to hang out with them. My mom had to do the Jelly Fish in front of everyone. It was way funny and I'm glad I got a picture :D We also had a WAY cool camp director person. . . She was way fun and did a great job with stake camp. (she is dancing next to my mom)
I have to claim. I had the coolest leaders in Young Womens. Elna, Diana Lynn, Mary and quite a few more. They are so funny and random and I just can't help but call them my friends :D

Next up I went to Bear Lake. We have a cabin up there and I love to go hang out. It was going to just be me, my parents, and grandparents. SO. . . My mom let me bring a buddy so I wasn't so bored. I decided Candice would be SO much fun. And she was. We went four wheeling and watched some television but my favorite part was boating. I usually am pretty scared of boats because they go really fast and stand out of the water a bit but this was so much fun! It was really pretty cold so it took a while to get in but once we did it was awesome! Warmest bear lake has been in years! (that's just my opinion) We all took turns diving off the side of the boat and I took pictures but I won't put them on there because you readers would see far to much of my future. :D My grandma belly flopped it at least three times. We laughed. A lot. I LOVE HER!!!
Even Muffy had a good time :D She sat on the swing for about five hours maybe more maybe lessIt was perfect weather up there on the hillside :D

Last but not least the Hutchison Family Reunion. We go to Rendezvous Beach *spelling* which is on the south side of the lake right as you come out of the Evanston direction to Bear Lake. We get to camp right on the beach so we can go swimming anytime we want to (for the most part) and it is way fun to be able to walk in the sand and just play in the water.(Those are my feet! They look like arms with knees on them!! Weird!!!!!)
Its a two hours plus drive but my mom was prepared. HAHA! Never though I'd see the day when my mom was up with most of the technology. WHOA!!! We had about 300 family members there with a few visitors. It is really so much fun and now they have added a dance to the mix. Its really funny to see everyone from 18 months to 85 plus years old out there dancing.
I had no idea my grandpa could bust a move. But boy oh boy can he still groove :D ( I rhymed!!)
Such a strange dancing couple :D KIDDING GUYS!!! I'm kidding.
We played cards constantly. It was SO much fun! 5 Crowns and Wizard and my favorite. . . Pinochle!! My dad got this cool little deal from his friend and you put it in the fires and it comes out purple blue and lots of green
Its pretty cool stuff. My dad went to almost every camp showing off his new toy :D
This is Ken and Pat. I'm not sure the exact relation but i think he is my grandma's cousin. But everyone calls him Uncle Ken. He is awesome and his wife Pat is so cool!! I love them both. They are my favorite extended relatives.
Every year we have an auction and everyone bids on things that people in the family make. Its really funny cuz Ron and Ken (in the picture) Are the "auctioneers" and they are really funny always crackin jokes. :DAs much as my daddy won't admit it I think he really enjoys the time off workin and just being able to relax and coolin it for a week. He is funny and snores really loud. We were setting up camp and Muffy found a bag with bungies in it and lots of other things but i think she like it. So thats where she was for a minute til we got her bed out of the car. Last year she sat on the teenie weenie cuz it was cooler but that didn't get to camp for a few days.
By the end of the week we are all just exhausted and Muffy was so happy to be coming home.
This is just a random cabin. I though it was SOOOO COOL!!! But its 599,000 plus dollars. But it looks way cool on the inside. ( we had to peek in the windows )

But my all time favorite is a quilt that DianaLynn made for me. Its so freaking awesome! Doesn't it just scream DARI!!! I feel like a little kid because I take it everywhere with me. I like it a lot. THANKS DL!!!
