Chillaxin' with Ashlyn

Heather and Ashlyn came to Utah for Taylor's wedding and it was great to see them! While Heather was busy doing wedding related stuff on Friday evening, I got to play with Ashlyn for an afternoon. She was loads of fun. We explored the parking lot of my apartment complex for about an hour - it was mostly stair climbing - before heading inside to play with toys and eat some food and read some books. Here are some pics and videos of the cutie patootie. She's such a funny little cheeseball but she knows exactly what to do when that camera comes out!

Alyssa has this toy for when her nephews come over and Ashlyn played with it most of the time she was here. Jason also mentioned that she likes Ramen so I decided to feed her some... to entertain myself if nothing else.

A Jolly Good Time

In Springville, they just opened up a place for tubing/sledding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and other similar winter sports. So naturally we did a Saturday activity there last week. It was pretty cold but the sun eventually showed itself (when we were done), but we still had a blast. All the participants went at least once - most went multiple times - and there were just a few wipeouts but no major injuries. I took all the pictures, so unfortunately there are no pictures of me going down, but I did go and it was fantastic!

Happy Heart Day!

Normally I choose to celebrate my half birthday, which happens to fall today on heart day! However, I've come to realize that celebrating your half birthday isn't really wonderful when you are getting older. Oh well! So, at FHE on Monday we decorated valentine's cookies. My friend Luke created this lovely cookie as his valentine to me...

And so this morning, I treated myself to his genious creation.

Yeah right! Like I actually ate the cookie... true i did stick it in my mouth, but I just couldn't eat it... way too much frosting, way too many conversation hearts, way too many sprinkles, and a load of M&M's... which if i had to eat anything off the cookie, it would be the M&M's. Unfortunately, that is not very appetizing to me at the moment... or ever.

Tuesday = Bowling

Every Tuesday we go bowling in Orem. We usually have about 55-60 people bowling. We actually use the entire bowling alley (16 lanes) to accomodate all our people for one hour every week. This gives them enough time for one game and a lot of socializing and the participants love it! I decided to take a couple of videos of them bowling because it is quite entertaining. They all have a unique way of bowling. This video is Jed, he bowls like this every time and it's just great!



Scotty got a score of 177 last week, which is WAY better than I can bowl.



There's a couple other videos but they are too big to download right now... maybe you'll see them another time? Here's me and Rex... every Tuesday Rex comes to bowling with crazy sunglasses and a different hat. Also hilarious.

Salt Lake City Oveniter!

Well, another fun adventure with RAH RAH RAH! An overniter in exotic Salt Lake City which included a dinner at Applebees and a hotel stay at the fabulous La Quinta Inn. The highlight of the trip, and the main purpose we did an overniter to begin with, was to attend the Utah Jazz game. Thankfully the Jazz won against the Sacramento Kings or that would've been one sad trip for the 15 participants who came.
