Vegas!

Well this week has been pretty exciting.
For softball we got to go to Sin City! We got to take a big old Weber State bus that was made in the 70's pretty much. But the ride down went by pretty fast. We all kept ourselves pretty busy with our ipods. The bus had TVs so we watched Indiana Jones, which is way lame compared to the first three, and some other movies I cannot recall. We got there Friday night and after getting lost for about an hour we finally made it to our hotel. Then we all headed out to good ol' TGI Fridays. I had a delicious stake its was delightful.

These are some of the girls.. Ang, Em, London, Myself, Jenny and Tavon. We pretty much rock. And I promise I didnt have any alcohol in my Shirley Temple huh Em.... PS I didnt have a Shirley Temple. Emily thought there was alcohol in one and asked the waiter. And he was like um no they dont. Then she turned to me and asked me what a California Club was then. And I looked at her and said a sandwich... Ha she thought it was a drink with alcohol in it to! Oh Em youre a sweetheart! Then after laughing and making fun of Emily, we headed over to the arcade since I am the only one that can gamble, which I did NOT! I figured since I was there with two seminary teachers that it probably wasnt a good idea, even though they where checkin out some of the tables, plus Ive never even done it so why bother now. Anyways the arcade was way fun. They had a samurai game that you got to swing a sword around, well just the handle part of the sword, and you got to hit people in the game. It was pretty interesting and tiring! My arm was sore the next day.

This is me and Jen Jen racing... I totally dominated! Whoot in your face Jenny!

Well we were all pretty worn out from driving so we headed back to our hotel, where Emily again made a fool of herself. She fell on the sidewalk and face planted it! A couple was walking towards us and saw the whole thing. We all died of laughter and we couldnt even talk it was so funny though. After a rough sleep of tossing and turning we played College of Southern Nevada. We lost both, they just creamed our pitchers and defense wasnt to hot sometimes. But the weather was super hot. By the end of the games I was covered in red dirt from diving and all sweaty from the sun, not a good combination. The ride home was awful! It was possibly the longest ride of my life... as you can tell from the picture...YIKES



This is our 70's bus it looks okay on the outside its the inside that is super sweet.


This is at our field in North Ogden. I forgot to add this picture so here it is. Jen Jen Angela and Me!

Well I went and bought me another DI scanner this week because I couldnt find a power cord for it. So I found one and it WORKS! But Im doing a project for my parents its of all of us when we were younger and playing baseball. Keep it on the down low they dont know about it!








Are we not the most adorable little baseball players ever!

Of course we had to do a tribute to our little missionary! Yup and that is his picture in the bed of the truck.... This is the truck that won the Mr Goodbar and schooled some of the other cars!


They had to race each other and of course the truck dominated the car! Whoot!

Im A Freak

Howdy!
I just asked my mom to say something random and she called me a freak so I put it as the title for today's entry.


Well its been a few since I updated about myself...


Last Saturday the softball team was supposed to head over to Colorado to play CNCC. But their athletic director for the college quit so the school postponed all the sporting events. So we got the weekend off! Whoot! So a few of us got together and went out to dinner at Chilies... YUM! Then we headed down to SLC to the Nightmare on 13th place. Lets just say dont waist your money there... It was over done and dont get me wrong I screamed like a little girl in some places but it was not too fun though.


Last year me, Kristy, Kasie, and Jen all went to Haunted Hallow and got the crap scared out of us! That place was the greatest plus we had an awesome time! We were all in a line holding each others arms and walking down the path when all of a sudden the roar of the chainsaw ripped through our ears... Jen, who had just been to this place the week before and knew the chainsaw was comin, shoved us all back and took off running.... I, of course, was in the back of the pack and couldnt see much of anything except the super white jacket of Kasie. Well Kasie didnt know where she was going and instead of following Jen, she took off on her own path. Well before I knew it I see Kasies white jacket go down hard... a second later I see Kristy go down hard... and before I knew it I was right on top of them myself... in a pile of sticks! We were all dying of laughter and couldnt speak or get up our of the branches. Kristy lost her shoe so the chainsaw guy helped us look for it. We laughed soooo HARD! The chainsaw guy even said it was the greatest thing he had ever seen! We were pretty embarrassed but none of us cared. All of us were surprised none of us got seriously hurt because those sticks where pretty sharp, but thank goodness. Anyways the whole ride home we would burst out into laughter and just die cause it was so funny and sooo stupid of us. Luckily it was towards the end so it didnt ruin us gettin scared but man o man we all still talk about it to this day. We text one another something like remember that time when you fell and it would get us all laughing. GOOD STINKIN TIMES!

So this weekend we were supposed to go to Oregon for softball... but the coach was being a punk and never called us back so we had ANOTHER WEEKEND OFF!

On Thursday my cousin got hitched up at Bear Lake. So Kar, my mom, G-ma Fry and I headed up there and partied hard haha not. But it was fun. The ceremony was super short and the food was delicious! Pasta YAY! But weddings are pretty boring especially when you dont know a lot of the people so what do you do... you take random pictures! Me and Kar had a field day with the camera.

Oh man I heart my Momma Bear...

It took me and Kar like ten pictures to get my face in the picture like that, but it finally worked.. sorta

This one is called random faces.. you just pull random movements and click the picture and then look to see what ya got... super fun!

This is me and Buddy my uncles dog. We is one of the coolest dogs Ive ever known. Hes really a good dog.

On Saturday my mother and Zach Call went to the Bountiful Temple. We were supposed to do my great grandmas work but the disk wouldnt work on our computer. But they went to the temple anyways. Me and Kar went down too to hang around the good ol town of Bountiful. My cousin lives down there and my aunt was visiting so we went to a few stores. They showed us an amazing little bookstore for kids. It was the cutest thing EVER! Tons of old fashion toys and old books. I bought two books for my future children... someday... One is called The Girls Book How To Be Great At Everything. Its really cute it tells you how to throw the best slumber party and how to act like a celebrity and how to make the best hopscotch. And then I bought the Boy version too. It has how to make a boomerang and how to survive a alligator fight and how to do a magic trick. Me and Kar read them all last night and there are some pretty random things but its so cute! I love it. So for future references... this store is amazing.

Quotes

I was bored so I though I would post some of my favorite quotes from the movies and TV. Here they are...

"Bull Durham"
CRASH DAVIS: Well, I believe in the soul, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, g"ood scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

"The Love Guru"
GURU PITKA: People may say bad things about you, but you should never say bad things about yourself.

"Dan In Real Life"
DAN BURNS: Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised.

DAN BURNS: What don't I understand, Cara? Please, help me out. What is it? Is it frustrating that you can't be with this person? That there's something keeping you apart? That there's something about this person that you can connect with? And whenever you're near this person, you don't know what to say, and you say everything that's in your mind and in your heart, and you know that if you could just be together, that this person would help you become the best possible version of yourself?


"The Notebook"
NOAH: The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That's what I hope to give you forever.


"Little Black Book"
STACY: I believe we write our own stories. And each time we think we know the end - we don't. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and in peace that comes from knowing that you just can't know it all. You know, life's funny that way. Once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.


"8 Simple Rules...."
CATE HENNESSY: [reading Paul's last article] Okay readers, today we're having a little pop quiz, it's multiple choice, so sharpen your number 2 pencils and put your thinking caps on. Ready? Here's a quote: "Dad, you're an idiot." Now, contestants, this was said to me because of which of the following transgressions? A: Coming to the breakfast table wearing pajamas and black socks? B: Asking my oldest daughter if that guy I saw her talking to yesterday at school was her boyfriend? C: Referring to rapper Fiddy Cent as "Fifty Cents"? or D: Entering the room? Okay, pencils down. Actually it was a trick question. The answer is all of the above. Now do you know how many times I called my father an idiot? Zero. Why? Because I feared him. Back then we didn't share our deep personal feelings, our deepest conversations usually revolved around the tigers bull pen. But my kids, I can't get them to shut up! There's not a feeling that my kids are afraid to express over and over and over. And my wife reassures me this is a good thing over and over and over, and she's always right. So do I wish that my kids feared me? Well my house would be quieter, and I'd spend a lot less time in the bathroom, but no. Because I know that whenever they insult me whether it's a "You're an idiot," "You're a geek," or an "I hate you," an "I love you" isn't far behind. And it's the knowledge that my wife and kids love me that makes it safe for me to wear pajamas and black socks to the breakfast table.

"Greys Anatomy"
MEREDITH GREY: [narrating] "Pain. You just have to ride it out. You can only hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside."

MEREDITH GREY: [narrating] "I've heard that it’s possible to grow up, I've just never met anyone who’s actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don’t go our way. We whisper secrets with our best friend, in the dark. We look for comfort where we can find it. And we hope against all logic, against all experience, like children, we never give up hope."

MEREDITH GREY: Okay, here it is. Your choice, it's simple, her or me. And I'm sure she's really great. But Derek, I love you. In a really, big really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your bedroom window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you... love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me.

"The X-Files"
SCULLY: I think the most rewarding relationships, the ones that last, are born from friendship. One day you look at the person and see more than you did the night before, like a switch was flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can imagine yourself with.

MULDER: All right, what you may find is you concentrate on hitting that little ball... the rest of the world just fades away - all your everyday, nagging concerns: the ticking of your biological clock... how you probably couldn't afford that nice, new suede coat on a G-Woman's salary... how you threw away a promising career in medicine to hunt aliens with a crackpot, albeit brilliant, partner... getting into the heart of a global conspiracy... your obscenely overdue triple-X bill. Oh, I'm sorry, Scully. Those last two problems are mine, not yours.
SCULLY: Shut up, Mulder. I'm playing baseball.

Blog Wars 08'! Are You Ready For It!

Rain drops on roses.... Yikes, I love rain! Especially the smell of it, the way things look in the rain.. just clean... well except for when you track mud around, then its not clean. But anyways....

We had two games against Boise States Club team on Saturday. The entire day it poured. But we decided to play anyways cause they drove all the way down here. So the first game we won, but by the end of the first game the fields where a mess. But for some reason we decided to start the second game. We were home and got our three outs and the ump came over and said we got our at bat then they were going to call the game. Our first batter got two pitches and they called the game. It was raining so hard! You could barely see anything. So we all booked it out to our cars. We were soaking wet all through our jackets and everything. And the mud was everywhere! We got to our cars just in time for the rain to hit even harder! It was crazy but so fun! About a half an hour later I went back to the field and the entire left and center field was under water! A good foot.


I wanted to go play in it... but mommy and daddy wouldnt let me out of the car. :( We also just had two other games on Monday. The fields were actually pretty okay. The outfield was still swampy and you could sink into the infield in some spots. We won one and lost one.. yet the lost was to the same summer team as we lost to before. So I will just skip that game, although we actually play very well. The first inning just killed us as always. The first game was against another summer team AND WE WON!

So an exciting thing happened this weekend. We had two very important people come up for the weekend to visit us. A one Miss Ashley and the one and only Mr Zach. They are two of Dans good friends. And they decided to spend Confrence weekend with us. It was so good to see them! We party harty all weekend... We watched some of The Office, which is always a delight. Then we hit up the DI for some shopping! We bought quit a bit of stuff, including a scanner that I will eventually use to put up some awesome picture on my blog! So be ready! Well the after we all went to Wally World and Ashley found a Burger King Crown and decided it was safe enough to put it on...


Yeah she is pretty crazy... ha HAha HAHAHAH... Thats an inside joke. But she makes us all laugh.. even though most of the time its at her. Love it!


On the way to taking Ashley to Confrence we ran into a road block...

For some reason these little guys decided to waddle into the road. It was so random I loved it! So we needed to stop and take some pictures! It was great... and so funny.. they were quackin or whatever and each other and then turning around. It was almost like they were back seat driving. It gave me a chuckle.
