Piñatas


This summer I had to made some Piñatas for a Family Reunion. They took a long time because I had to make them really strong, because lots of kids would be hitting them. I started off using beach balls and covering them with paper mache. I decided to have a theme of Angry Birds because it is really popular right now. I am pretty proud of how they turned out. I think I will make more in the future.

30 things you may or may not want to know about me

Hello there. Here are 30 things you may or may not want to know about me. It took me a long time to think of all these. My mom always tells me I am a strange individual, and I think this might prove it. :) Oh, just one rule, No laughing at me.

1. I am always afraid that I am going to drive away from a gas station
with my car still attached to the gas pump. I have to check at least 2
times before I drive away cautiously... (I know, it is weird but it is
a real fear I have)

2. I HATE driving with cruise control. I feel like I am not in control
of my car.

3. I am afraid of being in cars and airplanes. my mom finds it rather
hard to drive a car with me in it because I freak out. almost anyone
who has had me as a passenger knows this. They call it my car phobia.

4. I love falling asleep to the sound of the washer or dryer going. It
is soothing to me.

5.I love all types of music but I am a country girl at heart.
especially in the spring when it starts to warm up.

6. I am deathly afraid of spiders, snakes, and sharks. ( I bet almost
all of you knew that though)

7. I love to travel and meet new people. I hope to go around the world
someday. (even though I hate flying)

8. I love to quote movies, songs, and other people. I love playing the
quote game where you guess what the other person is quoting.

9. I love it when I am sitting at a table with little kids and they
put their feet on my knee. (I am not the only one that likes it
either. I know other people who love it too. It means the kids are
comfortable with you and like you.)

10. I hate my handwriting. It is awful! I am working on it though.

11. I have a very weird thing about expiration dates. it is really
hard to get me to eat something that has expired or is past the sale
by date.

12. I love doing the dishes by hand. ( not all the time though) it is
therapeutic to me.

13. My nostrils flare for no reason. (Morgan used to laugh her head
off at that)

14. I have at least four keys on my key chain that I don't know what
they go to.

15. I like to kick icicles and ice chunks off of other people's cars
in parking lots.

16.I am very particular about the grapes I eat. I don't like them if
they are dented or too squishy.

17. I hate it when people watch me sleep.

18. I sleep with socks on my feet.

19. I want to learn how to play the guitar

20. I wear white socks to work all the time even though I am wearing
black pants and shoes.

21. I set my alarm clock for weird times. I can't set it right on an
hour. It has to be 6:38 or something weird like that.

22. I like to try new things. I really want to go skydiving. (Which I
am doing this summer! EKK!!!)

23. I have never lived outside of Idaho.

24. I like to meow when I answer my phone (not at work though. That
would be slightly awkward... )

25. I have really sensitive teeth. I can't chew things that are too cold.

26. I love brushing my teeth!

27. I snap my fingers for no reason.

28. I always tap my pen against my desk. it is either do that or
doodle all over my notes.

29. Storms fascinate me. I kind of want to be a storm chaser.

30. I should stay away from blow dryers and lawn mowers.

Hello Again

Hello all my fellow blogger friends. I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. My goal is to get caught up this summer. I recently deleted my Facebook account and I feel like I don't know much of what is going on in a lot of people's lives. This is good motivation to keep my blog updated so my friends and family can look at it.

Thanksgiving 2009








For Thanksgiving this year my parents and I drove up to Walla Walla, Washington to spend time with my sister Coralee and her family. We had a blast cooking, shopping, and playing games. It was a really relaxing Holiday. I know this post is short, but I am behind a year on my blogging and want to catch up with some pictures.

Squash & Flowers


My rose. Sadly I don't even remember who gave it to me...


Flower
Here are some pictures of flowers and Squash from Fall 2009. I thought the one squash looked like a duck so I drew eye's on it. I just thought I would share.
