Last Weekend

06/20/08 On Friday we went to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens with Wendy, Adam, and VeNicia. It was really pretty. They say it covers about 50 acres!

06/21/08 On Saturday we went to the Veteran's Memorial Pool in Provo. It's only $3 to get in! We went with the McGrew's, Mike's tutee from the Big Brother program, VeNicia, her friend Jed & his brother TJ. The weather was so nice! Jared and I mostly just laid out in the shallow part of the kiddie pool. I think I could do that every day. Poor Jared has to work outside in the heat all day and the last thing he feels like doing with his spare time is hanging out in the sun all day! Then we went back to the McGrew's for a yummy BBQ.

06/22/08 We celebrated my brother Barry's birthday. Any time we eat with them you have to roll me home! They make the best food! And lots of it! We watched "Jumper". It was pretty good, but I thought it had a few holes in the plot.

Friday the 13th

Friday night we went to dinner at the Bamboo Hut and then went minigolfing with VeNicia and the McGrews. We went to the Cascade Range. Instead of windmills and volcanos, they have rough white carpet for sand traps and real little water traps (see picture below...ignore our balls). It was a lot of fun!

Nice form VeNicia! (What's that orange thing by your foot?)

No, Ed McMan didn't find VeNicia at the golf course. VeNicia hit a hole in one on the last shot! You wouldn't beleive the size gift certificates they're passing out these days! (And you shouldn't. Jared's holding the check a few inches from the camera and VeNicia's several feet away. Pretty cool though huh? = )

06/07/08 5K

Last Saturday VeNicia, Allison, and I ran in the Springville 5k. It was a lot of fun. It was raining the whole time though. I was proud of us. We all ran the whole time. (Because VeNicia doesn't count tying her shoe.) Even after that massive hill! (In a car it probably wouldn't have been any worse than a speed bump. But on foot it's a whole other story!) Thanks for running with me!

05/30/08 Sister's Night

So about once a month two of my sister's that live in the area and I get together for sister's night. We eat, shop, watch movies, play games, and...shoot guns. We invited our cousin Kathy to come along this time and we went to a shooting range. It was a lot of fun!

They guy helping us said, "Now show me how you'll hold it." And this is what he got:

We're funny.

I'm a terrible shot but VeNicia did pretty freakin awesome. We mostly shot pistols, but the guy helping us brought out some automatics like the M-16s they use in the military. Those things are huge. And loud! I'd jump everytime it fired!

Then we went to the Cheesecake Factory, which is always good. (Except for that nasty cheesecake stuff they serve there. ) We got right in too! It was a lot of fun!

Memorial Day Weekend

Let me start by saying you don't have to worry, my life is fully documented. I schedule my events in to my little palm pilot, I take pictures and sometimes video clips while I'm there, I write about it in my journal, some events have been scrapbooked, and now I blog about it too! I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe I should choreograph an interpretive dance that tells my life story.

Anywho our friends Jared and Candace invited us to go to her grandma's cabin for Memorial Day. We had great food, got our butts kicked twice at "Ticket to Ride" (great game, even when you lose) and watched "Catch Me if You Can" while we sat by the fire we built with about 30 matches and the entire Sunday paper. We were going to go four-wheeling, but it snowed! It wasn't just a few flakes either. It was a lot of fun! Thanks again!
