Happy Birthday Amy

To my bestest friend Amy, I love you and am thinking of you on your special day! Even though you are far away, distance could never separate the strong bond that connects us. I miss you immensely and wish I could be there with you on your birthday! You are my sister, friend and confidant. Thank you for being a pillar of strength and a guiding light during times of hardship and a complete goofball when I need you to be! Thanks for understanding my need to bust out with random dance moves and impromptu photo sessions in Civic Park. You are wonderful! Have a great birthday my friend. And never forget you are the sugar and I am the spice!!

Mamma Mia, How Could I Resist Ya!

Two Years ago I saw the live production of Mamma Mia and immediately fell in love! So imagine my excitement when I saw the trailer for Mamma Mia the movie ( I've already seen it twice now). I was not at all disappointed in the screen adaptation, in fact I can't wait tell it comes out on DVD. I will be in Mamma Mia heaven 24/7. Yes I am a nerd!

Only 5 More Days!

Flash Back Friday

I came across this photo the other day and it brought a smile to my face. This was my junior year of high school and I was more than excited for Prom . These gals were some of my closest friends in high school whom I still stay in contact with. I remember spending the whole day primping for this particular dance. Oh to be young and carefree!

Memory Tag

Step 1: As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew/know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

Step 2: Re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory for you. It's actually pretty fun to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one for you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments!

The BBQ Song

Kellie is out of town this weekend visiting her friend Amy in Colorado. Many of you know that I have my own blog now (myundertaking.wordpress.com), but I thought since Kellie isn't here to post anything, I would go ahead and do it for her. By the way, did you know I really really love BBQ?

I present to you the BBQ song. This little ditty is both fun and educational. If there are only 3 things you learn from this 3 minute video, it is this....
BBQ is not a verb....
BBQ is not a grill....
BBQ is meat prepared in a very special way.

A Blast From The Past

So I got this idea for a blog post from a friend, flashback Fridays. Technically today is not Friday but I plan on posting a flashback photo every Friday anyhow. This picture was taken six years ago a few weeks after John and I met ( second weekend in July of 2002). We decided for a date to enjoy an evening stroll through Tauphus park and of course we had to take some goofy pictures. This one isn't all that goofy but it reminds me oh so much of the summer we met. John of course is doing his best "rock" impersonation and me, well I thought we were suppose to smile big. Anyways I know it's corny but I have such great memories of the summer of 2002. In August I headed back to Colorado for fall semester. Four months without each other was extremely difficult! A week after this photo John and decided we were meant to be and the "L" word was used... Ah the memories!

An Update

Logan is making an awesome recovery. Prayers are working so keep them coming!Things will be tough for the next little while as he needs at least six weeks of around the clock attention and care. I am so grateful that our little buddy Logan is ok and that he will be home with his parents soon. We love you Stimpsons and are here for you always.

Please Pray

Last night my friend's (and neighbor) little boy Logan fell 10 feet out of his bedroom window. He fell headfirst on the concrete patio. He was life flighted last night to Children's Primary Care Hospital in Utah due to internal bleeding in the brain. Please keep him in your prayers!

Fourth of July Fun

This Fourth of July we spent with our family and friends in Idaho Falls. Every year we attend the parade. Here are the girls lounging out waiting for the parade to start.

Our family anxiously awaiting the Melaleuca fireworks. We absolutely love going down to the river and watching the " the best fireworks west of the Mississippi." We had an amazing time!

The girls loving their glow sticks

This picture isn't great but I wanted to capture some fireworks. The fireworks are lit from a little island on the snake river.

Adrianna watching fireworks with grandma. She watched half the show with this glow stick around her head.

Overall we had a great fourth. John made his famous blue cheeseburgers, which were yummy! Our friends from Pocatello came and we had a fierce game of hand and foot. Thanks to my in-laws for having us. And of course we all got a great nap in!
