MORMON HELPING HANDS

This year at Mormon Helping Hands, my job was bark installation. It was cold, and windy, and my eyes itched so bad. Poor allergies.

Sister Wives

Since I have been in Lehi, Utah, I have wanted to drive by the Sister Wives house. Emily always forgets even though it is brought up daily. Well... yesterday was New Years Eve and Emily had to work. So for the start of her shift Carter, Jaxton, and I went swimming at the Legacy Center. The older boys went to a movie with Creed. When we left the legacy center we had to stop by walmart to pick something up (hence the reason I look the walmart part, sweats and wet hair- not a shinning moment. Plus the holiday pounds!). We barely pulled into the lot and I noticed one of the wives. So I hit the brakes and went in reverse. I hit them a little sudden for being on ice, but I was too excited. I parked the car, and the boys didn't want to get out, so I was like whatever and let them sit in the car. I went to first knock on the window of second wife, Janelle. She rolled down her window and I asked if I can take her picture. She said, "sure". Then she motioned for Cody, Mary, and Christine to come over too. Cody tried to introduce them all, but I said, "its okay, I know your names." I asked were Robin was and she was running late. We talked for a few minutes and I told them how Id been wanting to drive by there house. Cody said that I could have driven by and not seen them so this was better. He also said that they were on their way sledding with the kids (in the car) and the filming crew, so now I have a pic with them in the same outfits we will see in a March episode. On of the camera men took the photo. First wife Mary did notice that I stopped suddenly and went in reverse too. They were so nice and happy. It made my day!

9-11-2010 My 24th Birthday

I spent my birthday sick (along with most of this year), and up until dinner I was in my pajamas. My parents thought giving me a frog humidifier along with my gifts was hilarious, even though I asked for one.
And Uncle Steve came to dinner too.

Obviously I am the short one.

wii bowling!

So one of my favorite games on the wii is bowling. Probably because no matter how I throw the ball or flick my wrist it usually goes straight. I am also good at trick bowling. NO JOKE, I can be in the other room and bowl a strike. If I miss a pin or two, my parents usually just say what pin number it is and I can bowl for the spare!

Here is a pic of scores on a recent game. I am in the green beanie. I was babysitting during this game, but had to finish after the kids left. I just threw balls on the other players, and then on my turn tried to concentrate more. Notice my tenth frame, then the next players. That is 5 strikes in a row, a first for me. But in my actual game I got four in a row at the start, hence the reason I needed to finish.

6 MONTHS!

I have been waiting six months to get my Drivers License back. Today was suppose to be that day. But nope. (So much for scheduling a DMV appointment)


Before I drive again. I have to get one of these. (EEG)

And one of these (CT Scan). And then hopefully with good results I get approval from my Neurologist.

So until then I wait so more. Maybe at the end of it all my parents will buy me one of these!

Or for now Ill settle with a plane ticket to Utah. (To visit the Hansens!)

(Side note- at least something good came out the DMV today, my cousin Jeff got his PERMIT!)

Rhebas Summer Departure

Rheba almost lost her pants getting all her stuff by the bus.

Maddy and I had a nice chat with Rhebas bus driver. He is so nice. We told him not to let her drive or talk on the microphone. And we also told him that she knows how to change a flat tire!

The Cosumnes Oaks High School group! Theo, Rheba, Ryan, Jon, and Jason. They are all so excited for tour, and sad that they will miss band camp. They will start school hours after they return, NO JOKE.

The going away crew. Dad, Tim, Me, Norman, Mom, Rheba, and Maddy. This was about 11:30 at night, and we stayed till the bus pulled away at 12:17AM. (We arrived at 11pm. Getting on the bus was more a ceremonial procedure. )

Glasses

My dad had one pair of glasses, and when they broke. They broke. It wasnt an easy fix like a screw, the entire side piece snapped in half. He walked around for about a week with this lovely green tape on the side. How horrible. We joke at home that we are going to get him a pair of glasses for each room in the house. Cause at least 3 out of 5 days, he always me or someone else asks to go and find, "HIS EYES." He said that the green tape was a, "Fashion statement."
