I'm right

I hate when someone tells me that I'm wrong when I know I'm right. I know that I have a Rapid Rewards account with Southwest Airlines. I know because when I opened a credit card with them, I only did it so I could get free flights. That was the whole purpose. I'm not an idiot just smarted then the stupid lady on the phone. Stop answering the phone if your stupid. Stop helping, get another job. I argued with her for about 20 minutes. Before I hung up and then proceeded to call back hoping to get someone new. No luck, her again. In the end I proved that I had an account. Great way to start a work day, lucky me.

Funny thing though. After I get irritated during the day, my boss then goes around and tells all the employees that I'm mad and stay out of my way. He does it in a humorous way and every time it makes me laugh. I have a great boss.

What bugs you?

Lesley's Baby Shower & Half Marathon

Our Family (FHE group) threw a baby shower for Lesley. She is a mother-to-be in about 3 weeks. She is so excited. She received lots of clothes, diapers, lotions, and a stroller. We had a great time. We are so excited to meet your little girl.

Our Family! Rosann, Shanae, Lesley, Nicole, and Me.



On Saturday morning, Cameron and Matt ran a half marathon. This is Cameron coming in. He did really well. He finished 6th out of 137. Lesley is so proud of him. They are both runners.

Matt coming in. He finished 32nd out 137. This was his first race. He did really well. He wants to continue to do more races.

Matt and Cameron all sweaty. It was sick. Good job guys.

Cameron placed first in his age group, so he got a prize. It's that little box that's in his hands.

Eden was beautiful while we were there. All the trees are changing. Thanks Lesley for getting up early and going with me.

San Diego

Matt and I went down to San Diego for Labor Day weekend to go visit my Nana and Grandpa. My mom Ida, brother Paul, sister Rose, sister Yolie, niece Angelina, and nephew Charles, came from Arizona to visit also. We had a full house. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so much family.

Newport Beach, California temple. It was beautiful.

My uncle Anthony, and Aunt Nicole came over to meet Charles. He was about a month old in the picture. Anthony though it was funny to put his chain and glasses on him.

We went to the La Jolla aquarium. Angelina and I loved walking around and looking at all the fish. Matt and Paul in front of the huge whales.

They told us we weren't allowed to pick up the starfish, so we did. Farmer's can never listen to the rules. Like my siblings say, "Rules are for stupid people."

This is outside the aquarium. Look how close we are to the beach.

Just the girls. Rose, Me, Mom, Angelina, Nana, and Yolie.

I love this Mexican Restaurant Cotijas. It has the best rolled tacos, and so cheap.

Example of Tacos. Sorry I had to taste them before I took the picture. Yummy every time.

All in All we had a great time. We should plan another trip to go down there. If you haven't been, you should go. There is so much to do in San Diego, fun for everyone.

P.S. We did go to the beach, however you can't take pictures when your jumping in the waves.

Taste of Home and Kara's Baby Shower

On Friday Night I went to the Taste of Home Cooking Show at the Dee Events Center with my friend Katee. I love going to this show. They make meals and show you easy tricks, to help you cook. I was a little disappointed this year. This is the last time I will be able to go and I still didn't win anything. They give away all the food they cook, gift baskets, gift card from vendors, and a range from RC Willey.

On Saturday I went to a former co-worker Kara's Baby Shower. She looks so good pregnant. You can only tell that she's pregnant from profile. I hope I look that good when I'm prego.

Her opening gifts. I hope she is able to use everything that was given to her.

Amanda, Kara, and me. Amanda and I were both surprised to see each other. We didn't know we shared Kara as a friend.

It was fun Kara. I'll be excited to meet your little boy Pete when he comes October 1st.

Lava Hot Springs

A few weeks ago the lot of us went to Lava. Brady's family owns land up there. So we decided to go camping. Unfortunately, Matt and I weren't able to camp. We went to a wonderful hamburger place, and then to this ice cream place. Left to Right: Brady, Shanae, Rosann, Pete, Me, Matt, Nicole and Greg. We had quite a bit of camera trouble while up there, but we finally got a good picture. The lady that took this was so patient with us.

Shanae, Rosann, Me and Nicole. We just sat around and chit chatted while the boys fished. This chipmunk was stealing my grass pieces. That was mine.

Matt, Brady, Greg and Pete. They tried so hard and still didn't catch anything. Poor boys. They had fun though. They could hear us laughing from across the pond.

We had a great time at Lava. Thanks for the invite Brady and Shanae. We should do it again before it gets to cold.

A very busy weekend

This past weekend, Housing had all the new residents move in. Which means overtime for me. I had to work 10 hours on Friday, 10 on Saturday, and 5 on Sunday. It was quite busy. When I wasn't working, The girls and I had a craft night at Nicole's. (The boys went fishing and camping.) I don't have any pictures from their activities. Matt said that they all caught fish though. Good for them.

Rosann made cards as her craft. I was very intrigued by this. Now, everyone that knows me well knows that I'm not a crafty person. So naturally this was interesting. I asked a lot of dumb questions.

Sara and Shanae made earrings. Sara is wearing the ones she made, they're blue and so pretty. Shanae was teaching her, it was cool to watch.

All of us. Left to Right: Sarah, Me, Nicole, Shanae, and Rosann.

Pete and Rosann had a house warming party on Saturday night. Pete, Shina, and Dave. Dave is Pete's brother, and Shina is Dave's wife. This swing set is in their back yard. Pete was afraid that Dave was going to break it. I was surprised that it didn't break, up close it looks ancient. It was a great party. Thanks for inviting us Pete and Rosann. I hope you enjoy the candle.

Family Home Evening Monday Night. Shanae and Brady were in charge of the dessert. We had strawberries, bananas, and marshmallows on skewers, then dipped in chocolate. Yummmm! Great idea Shanae. Pete and Brady.

Our group. Left to Right: Rosann, Pete, Shanae, Brady, Greg, Me, Nicole, Lesley, and Cameron. Lesley and Cameron are our newest members. Welcome.

I Love Taylor!

We went to the Taylor Swift concert at the end of May. Matt even had fun.

This is Gloriana. I have never heard of this group. I loved this song of theirs.

Yes, we had nose bleed seats, and they still were expensive.

I didn't get any clear pictures of the song love story. That's okay though, we got video. I just don't know how to upload it. Sorry. I would go to this concert repeatedly if we had the money. Wishful thinking.

Air Assault School

Matt went to Air Assault School in Fort Knox, Kentucky in May. I was lucky enough to go see him graduate. His mom, dad, and Nanny also came.

There was about 180 people graduate. Everyday when he would call, there would be lots of people that went home that day. He said there was about 50 people that went home throughout the course.

If you look closely, Matt is the one, in the second row, 5th from the right.

Matt and his dad, Don. His Dad is always so proud of him.

This is the Louisville Temple. For all those who know me well, know that I would love to see all the temples in the continental US. There are about 64 and we have been to about 22. A goal I actually think I could accomplish. We are planning a trip to Manti, does anyone know of a place to stay, or recommendations?

Josh and Cassie

Cassie received her endowments on Saturday at the Bountiful Temple. Her and Josh are going to be married in a couple of weeks. We are so excited for them both.

I'm glad that we got to share this opportunity with them. Congrats to you both, we love you guys.

Finished

I finished all four Twilight Books in 7 days. I have a problem. My mother in law Bell told me that she would think about them too, when she read them. She said that after she finished she was fine though. I thought that was how I was going to be, it's not. I can't get them out of my head. I still dream about them, constantly think about them, wonder what would happen next. I even started reading another book, but after about 40 pages, I put it down, because it wasn't Twilight. I watched the movie twice this morning while I was at work. Apparently I need a hobby, of something else to do. Anyone have any ideas? Someone help me.

Twilight, A problem I think so....

I have been fighting it for about a year now. I have had no desire to read those books. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Okay maybe a little. I love to blog hop, even on blogs of peeps I don't know. I would always see those stupid Icons that said " My heart belongs to my Husband, my neck belongs to Edward". Cheeeeeeeeeesy. I thought they were so stupid, and who would ever do that. Who would be so involved in a book for crying out loud. A book. Silly Twilight series. Everyone I know that has seen the movie kept on telling how good it was, so like an idiot, I put it on my Netflix page. It said it would be a very long wait. Tricky little devils, they lied. It came the next day. So now I had to watch it, or not and waste 3 days until the next movie came. I watched it, loved it, made my mom buy it for me, and then preceded to watch it another 8 times in a week. I bought the first book, read it in 2 days. I'm one of those people. I can't stop waking up in the middle of the night thinking about reading. I haven't loved a series so much. Anyone else loved this so much they can't think about anything else???

Cooking Out

Family Home Evening Monday night. We had an end of the year BBQ and hit around some waffle balls.

Pete had a very nice swing.

Matt gotta love him. They had a blast.

Nicole isn't she cute. This is right after we put on the meat.

Greg grilling. Nicole and I were watching the meat, and didn't know what it was suppose to look like.

Rosann just got there. She has been so busy, I'm glad she got time to come and eat with us.

Nice swing Greg.

Greg and Nicole. Greg wanted everyone to think that his bottle was beer, it wasn't it was cream soda.

Rob taking a bit out of his steak.

Pete thought it was hilarious, so he thought he would lick his.

Look at that intensity in his face. Priceless.

Everyone with our clubs and balls. We had so much fun. With the semester ending, we wont be together much longer. Matt and I will miss each of you so much and miss our friendships.

After the Manner of the Adverb

Family Home Evening totally rocks. We have a group of 5 couples that we do FHE with. Every week a different couple hosts it at their house. Then every couple gets an assignment (opening prayer, song, thought, lesson, closing prayer, activity, and treat). Pete and Rosann happened to be in charge of the activity this week. We played this awesome game called After the Manner of the Adverb. It was hilarious. Here's some pics from that night.

This is Josh Henderson, he's a ninja.

Matt being a ninja.

Nicole Price and Rosann Owen being conjoined twins.

Josh and Cassie.

Nicole and Greg.

Matt and Rob Haney. I forgot what they were doing. If anyone remembers what they were doing let me know.

Rob, enough said.

Rosann was driving, I'm not quite sure what Greg was doing.

Cassie. I think this is when she was being a carnivore.

Cassie eating her mannequin head.

That Pete and Rosann for introducing this game to us. Some of the pics are a little blurry, due to laughing so hard. Anyone have suggestions for FHE activities?
