Rodeo!

So I went to the USU rodeo to watch my friend Ryan calf rope, sad thing is, he didn't make it to the finals so I didn't get to see him ride. The good thing is that he got to come sit by his wife and me and have some fun with our friends that just happened to show up. We also found a massive bug on our way home.

For Marci...

My family thought I was crazy for making them pull over and take this picture when we entered the beach at Bear Lake.


I meant to post this clear back in July but here it is...



In memory of Parisi's Document Design class. To the man with purple hair, the man who was teaching a design class but didn't know how to turn on a computer, the man who wouldn't let his students design anything in color (I don't think he'd realized it was invented yet), the man whom Marci vented in many a blog, the man who made us redesign the same annoying pamphlet everyday for 12 weeks and then gave us B's, to the man who required us to buy a design book from 1980, this picture is for you.

Today was a some what monumental day for the community of Tremonton... well not that monumental, but that is the word that is getting used today. The senior citizen building was burned down today. Gasp! There is no need to gasp as it was a controlled burn by not just one but four fire departments. I was not able to be at the burning, as I was stuck in the wonderful world of Walmart all day (blah!).

A little history on the building:

Name: Senior Citizen Center- its real name is Mckinley School aka "the old Mckinley" (as opposed to "the new Mckinley"- I went to elementary school at the new Mckinley)

Age: Really old

Date of Death: September 26, 2008 Rest in peace yellow building.

Events that happened in this building:

-Voting
-Concerts (the student city council attempted to make this the "cool" thing to do- for some
reason the country folk never really caught on to this, could have something to do with it being
right next to the police department... hmmm...)
-My grandma JoAnn was named mother of the year there
-I took singing classes from Jan Rawlinson there (even though we all know I can't sing.)
-The food pantry lived there
-In elementary school we walked there to visit the museum every year, which was actually
pretty cool. There was a room that was set up like the classroom in Anne of Green Gables,
also one that was set up kinda western, I think it had a jail cell in it, not sure about that
though. So it had a lot of old things that were donated by the town. Bad thing about it was it
was never really open to the community so not many people knew about it.
-My dad went to elementary school there (he was born in 1960, and was the last 5th
grade class to go to school there, it was a really old building!).
-I broke my arm on a slide behind the building when I was 4.

At the moment that is all that happened there, oh the old people kinda hung out there, hence the "senior" center.

OH, The coolest fact about this building is that my Dad, the fireman and member of the last 5th grade class, was the only person that got to light the building on fire. Talk about a student's dream coming true (who cares if it was some 30 or 40 years late!)

Second coolest fact: I was one of the few people allowed passed the police tape to take pictures. (My dad is pretty cool)

So in honor of such a building here is a slide show of the aftermath:

Give a hoot!

So we found an owl in my neighbor's tree... he didn't really enjoy the fact that I was trying to take a picture of him... I actually took several, but he slept through the majority of them, and then he decided to glare at me. (it could be a she...)

CAKES!

So since I am currently the daughter of the relief society president in my ward, I "get" to partake in every activity that happens in the ward. My new favorite, though, is our new cake decorating class. It's only going to be once a month, but I'm practicing like crazy. And anyone who knows me knows that I never go half-in to things, yes I am currently purchasing anything that is related to cakes, and surfing the internet for more! You could say that I'm crazed... Well here is the first cake that I have done, I think its pretty ok for the first try.

New Love

Yesterday my beautiful, new, amazing camera came. I pretty much ran to the store to pick it up, and then got so distracted playing with it, that I was late for meeting my friend in SLC for the Sawyer Brown concert. Oops, but no worries, he saw my excitement and seemed to understand. If any one has seen me in my picture taking mode, they'd understand my love for this new machine. Here are a few pictures I took yesterday:
