Lakes, Oceans, Pools, Oh My?!

Well.... I have kinda lost my excitement for blogging. Which is why I haven't blogged at all recently.

I guess I've just had a lot of things going on but not enough time or will power to want to write about it. Especially since no one reads my blog anyway. haha But I guess I will blog now since i don't want to do other work. haha

SO! We were at Lake Tahoe for 8 days. We got back last Monday. But we brought the Anderson's back with us as well for Kirsten's wedding which was on Saturday. So we hung out with them and it was kinda crazy because almost every possible place for someone to sleep, there was someone sleeping there. We doubled the capacity of our house. But then on Wednesday night, Erin came to visit! So then I got to sleep in my closet on an air mattress which was kind of an adventure.

But when Erin was here we:

-Went to Rok for Chocolate Fondue on Wednesday night.

-Went to Fenton's (in Oakland) for lunch/dessert on Tuesday and then to the Oakland Temple/Visitor's Center.

-Went to Monterey Bay (but really Moss Landing) on Friday to kayak with some aquatic friends.

-Rok for dinner on Friday night.

-Swimming in the pool late Friday night

It was such a crazy couple of days but it was so fun. It's fun when people visit because it lets us be touristy and actually do things. haha

But then Erin flew home Saturday morning and then I went to lunch at Rok (hahaha yeah, again) with the adults who met me their after the wedding. And then we went to the reception for Kirsten and Drew's Wedding which was... interesting...

But yesterday I didn't really do a whole lot really. I went to Colleen's for a little while and we hung out and then swam and I got to play with my favorite dog Kuma which was great. :)

Today, I went to work (at Bushnell & Associate's) where I did tax stuff and then I got to serve someone papers. hahaha which was exciting. I also got to drive the company car, which was fun. :) on the way back to work, I got Chipotle and then headed back to work and quickly got ready to go, then ran home, ate really quickly and then went to the Parent's to do some babysitting. haha it was SO cute because Teagan fell asleep on me which is the most precious thing ever.

I was home for a little while and then I got to go to the Norling's to talk about BYU-Idaho which was fun I suppose. I didn't really do anything but it was still kinda fun. haha But it has been SO hot here. Like during a lot of the day it was triple digit heat which is no bueno at all. But all the ice cream was on sale so I went to the store and bought four different kids of ice cream. hahaha it was great. :) But yeah, that's my day/week/past couple of weeks.

I'm watching Bachelor Pad right now. It's so funny how full of drama it is. And how they make it seem so intense. But it's a wonderful show.... with far too much on-camera making out.

Tomorrow, I have three babysitting jobs. I'll be babysitting for like 9 hours tomorrow. Good thing it won't be 9 hours straight.... :)

oops...

So, I wrote most of this last week but for some reason it didn't publish. So here it is along with some more recent happenings:

Well, I've been home for like 12 days.

And in those twelve days I haven't really done anything exciting at all.

I babysat all day Satuday (at a wedding at the Temple in the morning and then for a fam in the ward in the evening.) So that was good because I made money... a LOT of money...

I also work in the Nursery on Sundays which is good. (Also, my mom is now Relief Society President which is going to be crazy...) but yeah, I give children snacks and play with play-doh all day on Sundays. So great. hahaha

On Monday I worked at Beehive Bookstore for like 4 hours. That was fun. It's crazy how everything just came right back to me. I remembered everything that I was supposed to be and it all just became second nature again. It was kinda fun. I wish I was working there more than I am but whatever. It's fine I guess. And I'm glad it was Dalene I was working with instead of other people. Although I do miss working with Lora. But yep, I miss working in general. I want a job...

Yesterday, I woke up early (well like 8:50 haha) and then we went ice skating. Nate and Al are in a class from 10-10:30 and then it is free skate. SO we went skating and we skate while they are in their little class and then we all skate together. It is quite presh. But Jack and I are preetttttty good. And we do lots of tricks and stuff too. It's great. Then we come home and do various things and then we went to dinner with the Lasko's before they move to Tennessee tomorrow. We obviously went to Rok and it was obviously delicious. Then I went to Courtney's and we all hung out which was fun. We haven't all hung out in a very long time so it was fun to have the whole gang back...

Today we went ice skating again and now we're just hanging out. I think I am going to go and get my car washed because it's super dirty.

--------------------------------

So, that was all last week...

I thought I posted it but I guess I didn't. But I'm posting it now.

After a semi-crazy week last week that did include lots of ice skating (which makes me a pro now...) I am now on vacation.

We left Sunday afternoon and drove to South Lake Tahoe, California. Which was a nice pleasant 4 hour drive. The Bement's (our "cousins" from Highland, UT) had already arrived. We got ourself situated sorta and ate dinner and such before the Anderson's (our "cousins" from Albany, OR) arrived. It took us a while to get all situated but once we finally did at like 10, we just threw the kids in bed. From the three families there are 16 children with me being the oldest and the youngest being a year old. SO crazy.

Good news though! I have a new boyfriend and his name is Ryker. He is 3 years old and he is the cutest thing ever. We hold hands when we walk around and he says my name the cutest way ever. And I'm bff's with his sister Haley, who is 5. It is just to precious. And it's nice to hang out with such little children. Which is kinda my only choice since I am not a part of the high school clique of girls or the middle school gang of boys and my lame-face sister is in Georgia. So I'm ALLLLLLL alone with extra small children.

Tomorrow we're actually going to the lake. Yay!

So I am sure that there will be pictures and more exciting stories to follow!
