The Bears....

This Saturday there was a kid expo at Sportsman's Warehouse. There were all sorts of fun activities and you could get your picture taken with a bear cub from Bear World. Luckily, Tyson's parents were down for the weekend. The line to get your picture taken was over 45 minutes long. Lonnie stood in line while Ty's mom and I took the kids around to different activities. We made trail mix, and Trey got his face painted. The boys also got to climb around in one of Nampa's fire engines, and see the police departments K-9 patrol. Too bad my camera batteries ran out, because they thought the engine was rad. Trey totally freaked out at the last minute when they were handing him the bear, so that's why I hopped in the shot.

Six things you don't know about me are.....


1. I really, really, really want a tree house. A ginormous one with a fireman's pole, and a trap door, and windows, and big enough to sleep in.

2. I took shop 4 years in high school and started majoring in Building Construction Technology in college. I worked at a lumber yard for 5 years. And I am not a lesbian.

3. I almost moved to Germany to be a nanny. I was all ready to go purchase my ticket and expedite my passport when I got another offer in Pennsylvania. I put the two in a hat and pulled out Pennsylvania. I lived there for 16 months.

4. I love to go swimming and can do flips off the diving board, and one of my favorite things to do is see how many flips I can do under water in a row. Every time Ty and I go swimming it is like the first thing I do. He counts, I flip.

5. I was in the National Honor Society in school. Got good grades and never studied. I tried to drop out twice because I would get depression really bad during winter. Somehow I pulled thru.

6. I want to learn how to weld, make my own jeans and swimsuits, cook really well, skateboard, and asparate.

I have lots more so somebody better tag me again.. I guess I will tag Tifani, and Mischa..

I was so Stupid.

So it's not a secret I was a pretty crazy kid during/after high school. One of the dumbest things I did was get a tattoo on my arm. Okay so I don't think all tattoos are white trash, but seriously this one is. I HATE it. I started getting it lasered off. So if any one needs a reason to why they shouldn't get one they can look at this picture. It smells so bad while she is burning it off, I have to wear this welding mask like thing while she uses this laser marked DANGER EXPLOSIVE all over it. The crapiest part is it will cost like $800-$1000. Those bumps on it are puss pockets. Yum.

California

Here are some pictures of our vacation to California. We stayed 8 days in Carlsbad. Did the usual touristy stuff of going to Disneyland, Sea World, and the zoo. The weather was awesome. We went with my brother, his wife, and their two kids. This is the first vacation my brother and I have been on since we were in elementary school. Trey and Nixon loved, loved, loved Disneyland. Trey got to talk to Crush from Finding Nemo, and give knuckles to Buzz Lightyear and Woody his idols. Tyson got to dance along with his new fav High School Musical. They do a parade during the day and that was the one thing he just couldn't miss. Okay not really. Much thanks to our friends in California for the pass hook-ups. And get this. We play this game to see who will the see the first person they know when we go on trips. I have never won. What are the chances since I grew up in a town of 1,500 people, and 3/4 haven't been out of the state. It wasn't until we were boarding the plance to fly home that Tyson recognized some dude from Ricks. Chandler aka "Tuff". I want to win at this game just once.
