Softball, Montana, Jackson Hole and whateva.

Alrighty well this is just more of a picture post...


But to catch everyone up, Slow pitch rocks my world. I love it Three games a week and it gets more addicting. Two weeks ago all three of my games got rained out. And last week I only got to play two. But last week was super fun! Well depending on who you ask I guess. Some dumb lady was catching for the other team and she got into it with our catcher... just a bunch of nonsense words no biggie. It happened throughout that game chitter back and forth. Well I was on third and I thought Id try to score with my super speediness... Well the ball got there waaay before me so I got myself in a pickle. Well the lady was running me back and she threw the ball behind me. Well I took this opportunity to "run" into her. (and if you know the rules, if a person doesnt have the ball and you run into them you get the base you were running too) So I turned to "run" into her and FETCH SHE RAN INTO ME! And gave me a good pop in the jaw. I mean I still got a good shot into her for her being and idiot. But I just laughed and trotted home. And she was PISSED... she didnt know the rules at all. She got yelling at the ump cause "she didnt even have the ball" Yeup you dummy... you didnt...


Oh man it was way fun! We ended up losing of course I was the last out haha oh well. I really want to play them again way bad!
I love it!

Alrighty to the randomness..

A few weeks ago I was outside and I saw this big black thing layin in our driveway...



YES ITS A BAT!!!! It was sooo random. And my dad thought it would be funny to throw it at me while I was taking pictures... not cool. But yeah that was pretty exciting! Im just glad it wasnt alive... poor fella


WE GOT TO GO TO JACKSON HOLE LAST WEEKEND!! It was a blast. It was my Grandmas big birthday bash slash a surprise party for my mother! We got her good MUAHAHA! We all rented a big ol cabin slash house in Teton Village.

It was way cool! It mostly rained the ENTIRE time we were there! But it still was super fun! We got to mingle with some fam we havent seen in awhile and thats always good! Mingling = good stories about parents and aunts and uncles.... good times!

Oh well to backtrack a bit the ride up there was sooooo long. It first started with my moms uncles funeral up in Malad. Then after the MANY funeral potatoes, we began our journey. We had to get some pictures developed for my grandmas present we were doing. So we stopped at the Pocatello Walmart. Well I had my jump drive which I thought had the pictures on it... whoops. Well it didnt. So we had our neighbor brake into our house to get onto my computer to email them to me. That didnt work. So she had to post them on Facebook. So After sitting in the McDonalds parking lot getting their wifi, we finally got them to the jump drive. Done right... nope. We go back in to the kodak fast picture thing. THEY RUN OUT OF FREAKIN PAPER! WHO DOES THAT! Thats how you make a living right... so dont run out of paper! CRIPES! So we just leave and start heading to another Walmart in Twin Falls. We finally get there and the stupid jump drive things on ALL OF THEM dont work. AWESOME. So they tell us there is another Walmart which they lied... it was a Sams Club.. frick. So we finally find the good ol trust worthy ShopKo. THEY HAVE ONE AND IN WORKING CONDITION! So we print the pictures off and we go back to our car to put them in this frame we got my grandma. Two dont fit. SOOOO we get my camera out to take a picture of a picture to get it smaller. Meanwhile there is a terrible storm that is headed straight for us. We got back in resize them... come out... still too big. So hear we are braving the wind storm while my dad holds a picture against the car and Im trying to take a picture of it. We look awesome. FINALLY... we get it to were it looks okay slash we just didnt care anymore. If you look closely you can see one of my dads fingers. Its super cool no worries.

We get in the car and it down pours on us.... jeepers what a trip.
With all that excitement I didnt expect much out of the trip. So when we started to head up to good ol Old Faithful... Well it rained the entire drive up there and just as we get to the last entrance, we were met with this.
Which turned into, Just Kidding the roads are closed and you have to turn around.

FRICK FRICKETY!

The whole drive back the flakes where huge! It was pretty but it was JUNE! So we didnt get to see anything.. bummer. But the drive up was a blast!

This is Kar with a random gorilla head... Im pretty sure we werent supposed to pick it up but what can I saw.. we're REBELS!

Bees Game, Slow Pitch, James Dean and other stuff

Alrighty a few weeks have gone by so heres my update.
SLOW PITCH ROCKS!!! I am completely diggin it this year.... I dont know why. I have always liked it but this year its just different. Maybe I have more energy, maybe since fast pitch is completely done Im more into it... or maybe I just freakin rock!

I am playing in a league down in Clearfield with some pals and thats been way fun. I havent played with friends for a slow pitch league so maybe thats it. Were doing okayish. Its fun... I got lined drive in the shin and foot so that wasnt too fun. But this week was the start of the Brigham City league. And Im playing on the same team Ive played on since I was like 15. The good ol Holmes team. My sister is old enough to legally play this year and my dad is playing again. So our first game was last week and it was a BLAST! I played way good haha but it just was way fun to be back with the ol gang again razzin each other! My dad struck out swing so that was AWESOME! Gave him alota crap! haha He has three major rules of slow pitch
1. Dont strike out looking
2. Dont strike out swinging
3. Dont walk
So he broke his own rule number 2. But like I said it was a blast! I cant wait for this weeks games. In Clearfield we are playing our other friends team and we want to win soo bad! And in BC its a softball reunion with my good ol pal Hil! Whoot! Hil I know youre reading this so you better bring your A game!

So I went to see Terminator Salvation... Even though most of it went straight over my head and my date had to remind me throughout the movie what had happened in the first ones, the movie was great! There is a character named Marcus Wright... hes a dreamboat. I heart him. Hes a robot slash human but aaaallll man! Hes adorable.

On Saturday I had gotten some Bees tickets from work. So I got me a date and invited my pal from work and her husband and they invited her friend and her husband. It was way fun. I had never been to a Buzz/Stingers/Bees game ever so I was excited! Even though they lost it was still a neat experience.

Well I also finished my second James Dean project! It turned out pretty neat I might say. Its not as creative as my first one. But hey its art right!


They are bigger than the picture shows. I think is 20x16. But Im stoked to do something with them. Im not sure even where to put them in my room. I have no space. But Im sure I can find somewhere. I love them. It took awhile to pick out the colors and to mix them and ugh the silver was a pain. The silver in the blue doesnt match other others and whatever. But oh well I like them!

But after doin all these I think I am going to get back into drawing. I havent decided what next to draw but Im sure it will come to me.

But lastly some sad news. My moms Uncle Ronald died this weekend. I didnt know him to well. I used to see him alot when we would go up to Malad to visit my grandparents. But its been awhile since Ive seen him, but that man was a funny dude. And Id just like to share one of my favorite stories of him. About ten years ago he had to amputate his foot. I cant remember why but he had a fake leg. Anyways he was walking down the street and he went to go kick a rock. Well he kicked a little to hard and his fake leg went FLYING out into the road. So he had to hobble out and put it back on. But thats just one of the memories I have of that crazy funny guy. He'll be missed.

I forgot to Title this.

Alrighty...

Well I figured I catch everyone up on my super busy life.... or not. But anyways, well to start off Ill explain the more cowbell. For those of you who guessed.. it was my faja (aka father) KarLee tried out for student gov (FYI she didnt make it... p.s. touchy subject) but yeah so we did this skit.. we all thought it was hilarious so thats what matters. Good times!

Second of all I want to wish my motha a
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Mom I love you. You are the most amazinous person I know. I heart your face!

Speaking of Mothers Day... We got to talk to Danny for about 6 hours... What, you might ask, could we talk about for six hours... Well we did the whole catch up hows the weather, do you need anything blah blah blah.. then we got to the good stuff. Healthy Poo... Yes you read that right. We spent a good hour or so talking about poo and pee shivers... Thats how cool our family is... LOVE IT. But hes doing good. SAME OL BRAT... But gotta love him!

Well baseball season has started in South Ogden.. WHOOT. Yesterday I had to ump behind the plate for the first time this season... and Im pretty sure I got hit more times this one game than I did all of last season. I even got hit in the neck and back of the shoulder! The two most randomness spots! My jacket had the strings from the ball tattooed on my shoulder... crazy. I had a couple in the foot... a couple in the shin and took one right off my knee cap FETCH! And to make it worse the hour game went extra innings, so it took a hour and 35 minutes. FETCHER!
But I only had to do one game and I got to sit the next. And hopefully I wont have to do it again.

Slow pitch has started out in Clearfield! I LOVE IT! Im playin third which is awesome... I havent played there for years! And never in slow pitch... but Im still trying to get my throws down in both of our games the first ball hit to me I make a TERRIBLE throw. But I get the rest there. Our last game there were bases loaded and this guy hit a screamer down the line.. I dove and it hits into my glove and bounces out! I was ticked! I would of had a double play at least! oh well we still won and our now 2-0! But I got a sweet battle wound on my left knee. It got caught up pretty good and is now starting to get black and blue! But I like it!

Box Elder softball is over... sad. They arent going to state... even sadder. But It was a pretty decent year. This region is one of the hardest. But I guess next year everybody is moving around so well see what happens.

This is a picture of some of the girls, Kortney Law, Rachel Hunsaker, Kar, Shelby Fromm, Jess Craner, Taleas Marble and Maranda Stokes. I have to credit Shelby for this idea of sitting on the field... KUDOS!

Well also I finished my Elvis Project for Salmon Sweater.


It turned out pretty cool. This picture doesnt do it justice.. its from a phone, but you get the picture. I only did four cause the paper I did it on was pretty expensive... well for me it was. But I LIKE IT!

Now Im starting to do another James Dean project (of course!) But its just going to be three paintings similar to the last one but bigger and three different pictures. Youll see it when Im done!

Anyways thats my life so far... work, school (sometimes) and art! Although I have gone on a few dates whoot! But Ill keep you updated for that at a later point in time ;)
