I apologize ahead of time...

but I had to do it. I mean this is something that I've been trying to figure out since I was in elementary school. Finally someone is shedding some light on the subject. :) Rock//Paper//Scissors.

I understand that scissors can beat paper, and I get how rock can beat scissors, but there's no freaking way paper can beat rock. Paper is supposed to magically "wrap around" rock, leaving it immobile? Why the heck can't paper do this to scissors? Actually, screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody. A rock would tear that up in about 2 seconds. When I play rock//paper//scissors, I always choose rock. Then, when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, "Oh crap, I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you."

This just made me laugh so hard, not to mention it makes a very good point. One that I absolutely agree with.

But anyways moving on, we've been heading out to the lake a lot lately. Unfortunately I'm a retard and did not charge the battery for my camera so I have like zero pictures. :( I will however have tons more this weekend because we are of course going back! I've always loved being on the water so I'm glad we are FINALLY doing that more. I've really missed it. Before we got this boat I'd only ever water skied, (spelling?) but I decided to try wakeboarding for the first time, against probably most of my better judgment. But all is well because I did it! It is a lot of fun so now I can do both with no problems...well at least for now. We'll see how long the beginner's luck actually lasts on me. :)



Me and daddy!


Favorite <3.>


Beautiful sunset before we left.


Yeah, 160mph. That's just how we roll. :)

It's been so much fun!

So yeah nothing super big has happened but I've still been out a lot and being crazy as usual. :) First it was Kelly's (one of my good friends since I was little) birthday. We went out to dinner at El Torito and had a bunch of fun. I really do love that group I've been friends with since we were like 3. Sad that not everyone could be there but it was still fabulous.

Me and Kalell

Isaac



Brock! I'm gonna miss him :(


Followed by a sweet photoshoot messing around with the camera. haha :)


Color Accent


Ryan's moving to Idaho so we had to spend as much time with him as possible...pretty much everyday. We've been going on wonderful adventures all day and night.


Running around Calabasas


We found a shopping cart and he got in and we pulled him with the car.
"I think we almost broke the sound barrier!"
It was amazing, that's all I can say.


My dad's birthday was yesterday so we went to Bandit's and it was delicious! Then everyone came back to our house for dessert.


They brought him a sundae at the end...which by the way apparently you have to pay for now. Awkwarddd.


I made him an alpinestars cake and he was so surprised.



Close-up. 2 layers with a chocolate buttercream with cookie crumbs frosting layer in the middle. I heard it was good, and I really hope so because I did it all day!



I had to stick with the theme, ya know. Call me crazy.


Me and daddy with the cake!

LACR

plus a few other little gems I found hidden on my camera. :) and I obviously didn't put up all the pictures from the track because that would have taken FOREVER and only a few people would actually care! haha So here's just a few of my favorites.


Rob came down from Colorado a few days earlier than he needed to be here for work so he could fit in some track time.



Rob again--he was riding my dad's bike so you have to look at the gear to see who it is.


There's my dad!



He was just so cute!


Yes, that is my new boyfriend, thank you.






I'm obviously not intelligent enough to come up with a good transition from riding to...the temple haha soo this will just have to do.



Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house



She's so excited to be showing off. What a cutie!


Kelsey just didn't want to get out of the pool, but who can blame her?!

photoshoot




So my friend asked me to help her out with her school photography project. Basically she had to take a series of photos and she chose to do different emotions...there were 6 I believe. Mine was happiness and here's just a couple of the photos that resulted. I had to put them up because we had so much fun! :) haha

catch-up.

I have this problem. See, I'll be good about writing this for a couple weeks and then an entire month will go by with nothing. Fortunately, nobody thinks I fell off the face of the earth or something...at least as far as I know. So in review there was Jesse and Alyson's wedding May 29 in San Diego, which is why we were so busy at the end of May//beginning of June. The reception was the following Saturday and then they left for their honeymoon to Lake Tahoe on Sunday. Everything went well and I think it's safe to say that everybody had fun with everything! June was rather uneventful although we did take an impromptu roadtrip to Salt Lake to visit family, etc. Long drive but luckily we got to stop in Vegas and see my favorite little girls! We had so much fun playing games and swimming and just hanging out. So a special thank you to Andrea and Dave for that as well. Lately we've just been trying to get everything back in order, especially Jesse's room now that he's moved out. We'll see how far this actually goes. We can't really do too much yet because there's still the old carpet in that end of the house which is soon to be replaced by hardwood floors. (Well, at least that's the plan...we'll see how it goes.)
