Work BBQ

This picture is kind of funny, because I was trying to get a "funny face" picture of the whole group and I ended up getting in mainly of me. And oh, what a face! :) Thank you Stacie for at least getting somewhat in the picture with a crazy face! I knew I could count on you!

Our BBQ crew. Our global guys cooked us up hamburgers and hotdogs! And as you can see in the below picture decided to bring water guns and water balloons to get us all wet afterwards. They definitely like to make things exciting...

Some of the cute gals I work with! They really are all so much fun and I LOVE working with them. There is only one girl missing and that is Chelsea. Sorry I didn't get her in the picture!

YAY for fun co-workers. We got to have 2 free hours of playing and eating on my work's company! I won a $25 gift certificate to Chili's. They had a bing bag toss, frisbee and a contest... closest to the whole chip in. I came in second by a couple inches. Our amazing golfer Rob Richmond won the golden $50 gift card to Best Buy. Way to go Rob! (Might I mention that I took about 50 hits to get that close and Rob got it on his first shot...) What can I say, I was determined to win, but I failed. :) He was just too good. Fun all around!

Ashely, Me and Jill

I was so excited to go to my friend Jessica's baby shower. I haven't seen her or for that matter any of my old friends for a LONG time! Here a few pictures. Hopefully we can get together again soon! They really are such amazing people!

How many bruises do you get for one crash?

2009-06-30T17:26:00.000-07:00

Well, we went on a family biking trip up Mueller Canyon in Bountiful. Brett's sister Carrie, his brother Matt, his brother's wife Alicia, Brett and myself all went. It was so much fun! My legs have been really bothering me so I almost couldn't go due to the pain so I stretched them the best I could and off we went. What a beautiful day it was. Well, on the way down I crashed and landed right on a big rock! The pain was excruciating! As Carrie called it, "The scream of death" came out of me. Carrie and Alicia were so sweet to wait around until I could get back on the bike and started heading back down the hill. The last few days haven't been very fun as walking or any odd movements hurt, but it is definitely getting better. So how many bruises can you get from one crash??? I think I have 8 or 9 with one being a pretty good size. I must admit, I thought it would be bigger. :)

Needless to say, even with the crash it was fun and can't wait to go again!

Here is a pic of all of us! I definitely married into an amazingly athletic family and I think the world of them!

Yay for Mtn. Biking!

We got to go Mtn Biking with our bishop and his cute wife! We really have the best bishop ever. I wish I had pic's of them, but we don't. We had a blast! It is nice to have others to go with. Hopefully my brother-in-law Matt will recover soon and him and his wife be able to go with us! The year is already half over! Time is of the essence!

Starting a blog

Wow! I'm actually starting a blog! I have heard once you do this you start taking the camera around with you everywhere you go. I always forget to bring the camera so we will see how this works out! Family... be proud! Hopefully I will figure out how this works pretty quickly. Wahoo!
