Memorial Weekend 2007

Busy, Busy, Busy!
Friday~ Rode four-wheelers up Diamond Fork canyon with Kevin, Jake and Melissa.
Saturday~ Hiked up Y Mountain, rode horses up Mapleton Canyon with Kevin, Jake and Brick. Dollar had his best day ever! It was such a gorgeous trail and we saw a bear and her two cubs (but they were really far away).
Sunday~ Great dinner at the Bird’s house
Monday~ Trail running with Tatia up to Stewart Falls, rode four-wheelers with Kevin, Brandon and Luke up Spanish Fork canyon, cooked out with Kevin and his family.

Things I should have done but didn’t over the weekend~
Clean house, do laundry, go grocery shopping, wash my car, pay bills, shop for summer clothes/bathing suits, give Dollar a bath, organize the stacks of papers on my desk, etc…..but it really doesn’t matter because it was the most fun Memorial Weekend I can remember! I’ll post more pics when I can!

Birthday Fun!

Here are some pics from Steph's Vegas b-day party and my b-day celebrations. We pretty much partied for 2 weeks.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

So I made it to 24. My body aches and I’m much more tired today than yesterday; I will attribute these symptoms of an aging body to the softball games I played last night and the gobs of Italian food and chocolate cake I just ate, not to being a year older.

For some reason I’m happier today than I’ve been on recent birthdays. Maybe it’s the great friends in my life, the handsome guy who sent me flowers, or the way it feels to be full of Italian food and chocolate cake. Yes….life is great!
So if any of you have read my "poetry" you know I hate rhyming and seldom do. However, I decided to be crazy and write a poem about being little in the same rhyming style I wrote poems when I was little. Enjoy!

Little Dirty Mitts:
I talked to the wind as she traveled by.
I saw wild horses and dreamed I could fly.
I played outside with out a single care.
I loved to smell each flower as I placed them in my hair.
I spoke to the birds and listened to the trees.
I crawled with the ants and ran from the bees.
I named the purple flowers and had tea with the squirrels.
Oh how I miss the joys of being a little girl.

Softball Time

We are for sure in "a league of our own" this year. We had our second work softball game last night. We won our first game and lost last night. My hamstrings and hip flexors are so sore!

Idaho Adventure

Courtney and I drove up to Rexburg, ID to pick up my cousin Whitney from school. On our way up we made the mistake of eating at a gas station diner in Preston, ID (home of Napolean). We had to pull over at the next exit because I was so sick and Courtney was sick the next morning. Once we got Whitney loaded up and on the road, we had a great time. We even trespassed into BEAR WORLD, which is this random place in ID where they keep bears in fenced in areas that you can drive through. They were closed, but we drove in on a back road and saw a few bears.
It was a fun trip!
