And that's how the...key... crumbles?

Yep, that's my key! Without the key...ish part to it. It all began after a fun-filled night of disco skating. Just to quickly catch up everyone since I haven't updated in forever, my friends and I have found a new love which is disco skating down at Classic Skating. It's such a blast! But anywho, back to the story, we had exited Classic Skating into the bitter cold, dancing around to keep warm. I got up to my car and went to unlock my car with the key when a friend came up and asked for a ride. Right when I was about to answer, "Sure, no problem"... sure enough when I turned my wrist, my hand broke free. I looked down to see that the door was not unlocked, and that my key was missing it's most important part! The rest of it, was jammed in the key hole. I couldn't help but laugh, and when my friend Alec asked what's up, I simply just showed him my stump of a key. haha Alec's was the best reaction, he kinda squeaked when he exclaimed, "No way!". We all just sat there laughing. Soon, everyone gathered around, and we started scheming ways of getting me into my car. Lucky for me, in my Blue Van, all we had to worry about was getting me into my car cause I had another key made for starting my car. For once, that was a feature that I was very happy for. But, we each brainstormed ideas on how to break into my car. We are a very creative bunch. People were looking for bobby pins, coat hangers, "sturdy" sticks, etc. After awhile, I had an idea, which wasn't as creative as everyone elses, but effective none-the-less. Sadly, I had noticed that the other door on the otherside had the lock slightly unlocked. So we went over, and opened the door. AY AY AY! SUCCESS! So, after a 5 minute victory dance with everyone, I was able to get home. It was a VERY eventful and VERY fun night.
I call him, "Stubs". :)

Christmas Spirit

A couple of days ago, I was with a bunch of my friends and one of them started to talk about a video they saw on youtube. It was of a house that had thousands of christmas lights strung and they were all synchronized to christmas music. Now, my family members that are reading this and myself can recognize what they were talking about. So I had asked if they were talking about Christmas Utah... No one in the room knew what on earth I was talking about. So, for those of you who don't know, here's a video clip of a man in Murray Utah who has brought Christmas Spirit to Utah.


My family found this place about 2 years ago and it is bomb!! You all should definately check this place out. It's literally just there!

I've got Cosmic Fever!!

Hey Hey Hey Kiddos! It's time to strap on your neon and get dancing!! So, to make up for not having a Halloween Dance (lame I know), our school created the Cosmic Fever Dance. Basically summed up the idea of it at the beginning. This was such an awesome dance! Our group looked amazing and we know how to have a killer time! YAY FOR NEON!! ;)

Here I am (oh yeah, I got a super short hair cut!!!),


And this is my date, Mike Sieverts...

And together we are M&M!!!
Hahaha, and above is Neal.... I just had to put this picture in.
It was such a fun night!!! Thanks Mike for a great time!

Ballin! and Girls....

So there you have it. I am now into my fourth, and last year of basketball. I have been nervous about this for weeks now, and it's already starting. Yikes! We have a pretty good team. Six fellow seniors and a lot of youngins. I hope that we do amazing cause I know that we can make it to the top. Lots of talent on the team, we just have to develop it right. As for injuries, we are all hoping I finish how I started... No injuries. :) But a little extra prayer here and there won't hurt. But due to basketball, I won't be seeing a lot of you at all over the next three months. I'll try to keep this updated, but be forwarned, I will have a lot of basketball on the brains.

On another note, lucky you guys because today I will stray away for a minute from basketball and hopefully you're still awake cause this is a real treat. After I had gotten home from basketball, I heard all this hub-bub about a movie my nephew Max made. Hearing the fact that Max was involved, I had to see it. WOOF!!! I was laughing so hard that I was tearing up. For your viewing pleasure, here is a movie written and directed by Max Heyborne. (keep in mind, only 7... A real prodigy)

Unfortunately I do not have the video so you will have to click on this website to view it:
so worth it...

Even Gwen's first Halloween and she blows me out of the water... She's a Pen-gwen, get it?? ha ha ha

You kids better be ready for next year, cause I will be bringin out the big guns!

Halloween, Wa-oof!

"This is halloween, everybody make a scream, Halloween, halloween, halloween!"
I love Halloween! It's a great holiday with all the frights and mischief... Just to touch up, here's a list of traditions, things I miss or love about Halloween:

  • Definately loved watching Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas with my cousins.
  • Carving pumpkins with the sisters.
  • Trick-or-treating and stopping by Laurel Lindley's for some homemade donuts and wassail.
  • Trick-or-treating and stopping by the Webb's house to get yourself a crispy pickle.
  • Haunted Houses. I totally miss Rocky Point Haunted House. I was an avid fan that went every year.... It was so terrifyingly good. I miss Rocky Point!!!
  • Trunk-or-Treating. My first year, Kimi and I made a pirate ship that was kickin out of Big Red.
  • Finding scary places to go play in. If you have any ideas of any, please share. I'm always up for a good scare.
  • Swapping candy with Christian Payne when we were kids.
  • Watching scary movies. Once again, I love a good thrill.
  • Doing those parades during school in elementry. My favorite year of that was Second Grade when I got to walk with this boy that I really liked. ;)
Now, for a glimpse to what Halloween was like this year for me.

For this year I was cute little furry ELMO!!! It was awesome.

Elmo met SARAH PALIN!! But really, this is my friend Tess, and she made an awesome Palin. Her dad dressed up as McCain, naturally.

Our car group, we were crazy!!!
Yeah, we had a crazy adventure... It was awesome!
The Creepy tunnel we adventured through.
The Whole Group going through the creepy tunnel.
This year was pretty good, and I hope all of you also had a hauntingly good time!!
