Seriously?!?!?!

My blog died and I have NO idea what the heck is happening or how to fix it -AND- I lost all of my blog lists. grrrr. If you could pretty please leave a comment so I can have the address to your blog again I would greatly appreciate it. Please bare with me as I try to figure this out. If anyone has any clues or help to offer.....please send it my way!

We're Aggies


We survived the first week of school at USU!!! Craig is an accounting major. This semester he is taking accounting 2020, economics, business stats and more math. He loves it. (I'm sure grateful that's not me in those classes) He will have a ton of homework-YUCK. I am thinking of going into the interior design program. I have 3 interior design classes and two general ed classes: biology and humanities, where the bible is my only textbook. So far I really enjoy it all. I am really intimidated by the art/sketching aspect of interior design. Next semester I hope to take some art classes and I'm hoping this semester to 'practice' by taking some art classes by a guy in my ward, Jonathan Ribera. We'll see how it goes. Wish us luck this semester!

Catching Up...

Sorry it's been a while since I blogged last. I pulled up all of our pictures and here we go!

A couple weeks ago we went to Bear Lake Raspberry Days. This is a picture of Craig wearing an $80.00 'Indiana Jones' hat. Needless to say with school getting ready to start there are many better ways to spend $80.00.
This weekend I went to IKEA. I know my brother in law hates it but I absolutely loved it! This was my first time there. I went with my step-mom and spent 3 hours there! I bought some really cute pillows for our living room and material to make a few more. When I have them all finished pictures will come. I am NOT having a baby but I loved this idea and had to take a picture of it. This is a wall from a nursery display. It has a family tree on it. I thought it was cool.

Stamp night is my favorite Thursday night ever! I love stampin' up and I love have fun with the girls. I can't believe that my friend and demonstrator said she didn't know what we were doing that night and I came home with these 3 beautiful cards that I made! I am so excited to get my order from this new catalog!!!

I saw this idea in another blog and decided to give it a try for my dad's birthday. This first picture is a crumbled cake mix mixed with one can of frosting. After that you roll them into small balls to fit a candy mold.

In the bottom of the candy mold you fill 3/4 way with melted chocolate almond bark and let it set up.
After that you color white almond bark and dip the top of the cake ball and decorate it however you would like. I chose sprinkles and m&m's. Here they are in a candy box. That's how I gave them to my dad.

I made 2 batches one with funfetti cake mix and one with devil's cake mix. We took a bite of each one so you can see what they look like. They are YUMMY!

Olympics


I LOVE the Olympics. I was blown away by the opening ceremonies. They were awesome! For those of you who watched it my favorite part was the 'boxes' with people in it. They were all in complete sync with each other...WOW! This week/weekend I wasn't feeling too hot so we took it easy. My parents DDR'ed the first few days. We watched basketball, women's fencing, swimming (especially Michael Phelps) etc. It is always so cool to see an American standing on the medals podium singing the national anthem. (PS more of them need to actually SING it! As you watch other people win they SING their national anthem...come on Americans!!!) I look forward to watching more of the Olympics and especially the USA basketball team-Go Deron Williams!!

Oregon!

Ofiicially all of the drivers in our computer are fixed and I can now use the computer and the internet!!!


We went to Oregon two weeks ago for a family reunion. We decided to venture out a few days early so Craig could experience more of Oregon. It was BEAUTIFUL there!

One thing we did was go to the Oregon State Aquarium in Newport:


A ginormous alaskan king crab. They look really gross but taste really yummy!


A sea otter swimming by casually after being fed.


Craig in a tunnel of fish like in the movie 'Jaws'. Du du. Du du. Du du.




We also went the Oregon State Zoo in Portland. For some reason they were having a dinosaur display. So we went to check it out. We went on a dinosaur 4D ride and got to wear these oh so attractive glasses. It was worth taking a picture of.

Another thing we did at the zoo was feed birds. When I say 'we', I really mean Craig. I was too afraid to feed the birds. You go into this huge exhibit and there are birds flying (and doing natural bodily functions from being fed too much) EVERYWHERE. At one point 2 birds landed on Craig's shoulders. I teased him that they were going to pick at his ears. It was cool still.


We also got a change to hike Multnomah Falls. It is about 30 minutes outside of Portland. It is amazing. You drive down the freeway and all of a sudden you see this beautiful water fall. It was a great hike!


Of course we went to the beach! We actually went to several which include: Nye State Beach, Agate Beach, Depoe Bay and Yacuina Bay to name a few. It was so fun to walk the beach! We were lucky and went to Cannon Beach at minus tide and were able to see some of the coolest sea life. Incase you are wondering Craig caught a small crab and is only pretending to eat it.

We also went to Seaside where we ate the best crab dinner ever! We went to Astoria and saw the Astoria Column (a lighthouse). While we were in Astoria we went to the meritime museum and learned a lot about boats and the coastgaurd. It made want to come home and watch the movie, 'The Guardian'. We went and did some Lewis & Clarke stuff: Fort Clackamas, Fort Stevens. We hit Lincoln City and went to the Tanger Outlet there. The only thing we came home with was some s'mores popcorn. One of my favorite places we went was to a candy shop called 'Aunt Belinda's'. Wonder why I liked it so much?! It was all wonderful! I highly recommend Oregon to anyone who is thinking of going on vacation!
