Spring Break...a little late

Okay so I've had this pictures on my camera for a while now I just haven't had time to upload them to my computer but I finally did so here's an update! For spring break I went to St. George with my sister-in-law's family for a baseball tournament. We stayed in aunt's summer house. It's this really old house downtown in historical St. George. It's only a block away from Brigham Young's winter home.

My little nephew Brittan (who is 7) had a hard time adjusting to this old house. He was very nervous about everything. The showers where funny, the ceilings were low and it smelled like an old house. He had a really hard time going to sleep the first night and we couldn't figure out why...then he told us that the doors scared him because burglers could see through them. Julie and I didn't have a clue what he was talking about until he took my camera the next day and took these pictures.


He thought the burglers would be able to sneak in and watch him while he was sleeping. He was very upset by this and just couldn't sleep. Well, the next day he decided that since the house creaked so much he would be able to hear a burgler from a mile away so he felt better about sleeping in the house.

One day while we were waiting for the baseball games to start we walked over to Brigham Young's winter house and took a tour. It was very neat. I loved all the chandeliers so I had to take pictures, plus I thought his bed was pretty cool. He said he didn't need a "whole" canopy so they just built a half. That made me laugh.




The weather was great and it was fun watching Brayden play some ball. It felt so good just to sit in the sun and soak up the heat. Before we left for St. George, Julie and I got our toes done and I thought they were very cute


Bronson had a blast being outside. He was loving it. We always packed a cooler FULL of food... and I mean FULL. Well, at one of the games Bronson walked over to the bag of food grabbed a banana and went to his chair to enjoy it. I just thought it was so funny to see him sitting in his big kid chair chopping on his banana.


Bronson is definately Chad's child. He LOVES baseball. He just wanted to be where ever the ball players were. One day while they were warming up before the game Bronson decided that he wanted to practice with them so he picked up a bat and headed for the tee. The boys stopped for a minute so Bronson could take a swing. It was very cute!


St. George was great and I can't wait to go back. I love it there. Blast this cold weather I'm dealing with. Bring on Spring!

Last Call!

As you all know I am planning on going private EVERY soon. In fact, I was planning on doing it on the 1st but I don't have everyone's email that I'd like sooo if you are one of those slackers get me your email address fast so I can add you to my viewing list. I wont' go private until the end of this week so get a move on!

Who is Who?

My cousin Sara just sent me this picture. She was in Texas for a week and while she was there she was looking through the old photos my grandma has and she found this one....um can you say clone?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE!

So the little sis turns the big 23 today. I decided to post some "Classic Nate" pictures up in commemoration of her big day (mind you I'm embarrassing myself in a few!). I'm going to keep scouting my computer and see if I can find some more, but these pictures give a pretty good representation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE!

Come on People...SERIOUSLY?!!!

So I just got back from St. George to find snow! Are you kidding me? I have a sunburn and there is snow outside. Where are you spring?! Now on to a more serious matter.


One night while Julie and I were trying to find something to do and we remembered that Twilight just came out on video. Well, neither one of us had seen it in the theater so we hopped on over to Target and picked ourselves up a copy.

Can I just say....WORST MOVIE EVER! Oh my, it was terrible! Bad acting, bad filming, bad writing. Just overall bad. Julie and I contemplated turning it off a few times. If you hadn't read the book, you would be so confused. I don't think the movie would have made sense. One minute they are talking in Edward's room and the next minute he's scaling a tree....so bad!

Don't even get me started on Edward. GROSS! He is not attractive at all! Everyone kept saying "oh he grows on you..." One- I don't want Edward to grow on me and Two- he looks like an alien. His nose is all smooshed to his head and his forehead is huge! I felt like he kept trying to be dangerous and mysterious but it just came off as weird and trying too hard. He completely ruined my vision of Edward. I came home and started to re-read the books because I needed to rekindle my love for Edward again...

Here is my vision of Edward... yummy. Sexy, dangerous and gorgeous all without trying or gobs of makeup on.

And how weird was the sunlight scene? They didn't even do a good job. In the book it talks about how he glowed like a star or something. In the movie you could hardly even tell a change in his skin. Julie and I had to pause it and get really close the the TV to see what it looked it. Just bad! They didn't really explain any of his powers either...I found it all every confusing.

Oh and Rosaline...she wasn't even that pretty. I mean she was pretty enough but not really. She's suppose to be drop dead gorgeous and she wasn't. Here's more what I pictured Rosaline looking like:

I think they did an overall bad casting job except with Bella and Emmett. And you can't really screw up Emmett he's just a big, muscly, football looking person. Charlie was okay and so was Jacob but the others were BAD!

Now mind you...I went into watching this movie with very low expectations but I had a hard time watching it all the way through. I just couldn't get over how awkward the movie was. So... let's hope that since this one was so popular (I don't know why...) that they will have a bigger budget for movies 2 and 3 because... WOW what a waste of $18.

Hello Spring Break!

For the next 5 days I'll be enjoying the weather in sunny St. George. I'm totally stoked. My nephew has a baseball tournament down there and the whole family is going and I get to tag along. I love St. George. It's my 2nd home. I always feel myself becoming a little bit calmer when I enter the city. It's just the effect St. George has on me. So... see ya later and hello 80 degree weather!

The Time has Come...

Okay so I've been toying around with this idea for quite some time and I've finally decided that I'm going private. I know a lot of people have their reason why, but I just want to be a little more careful about what I'm putting out there for all to see... SO I'll be going private starting April 1st. And no, it's not an April Fool's joke. So if you want to stay updated on my blog just leave your email and I'll be sure to put you on the list. Even if you don't have a blog leave me your email so you can still look at mine. I have made it so the comments won't show so there's no need to worry about giving your email to the world. Hopefully, you'll all still want to keep up on what's going on.
