Spill Queen

Well, at Thanksgiving, everyone was talking about how I am the spilling master, and here is my most recent proof....

Yep, that's me alright. Some how I was able to break the bottom of my cup and it went all over me. So much for the really good smoothy I was drinking.

Late Review of Halloween

We had an excellent growing season this year with our graden and ended up with fourteen beautiful pumpkins and a few extras. And the best part is, the one that I am holding up, we entered it into the stake garden growing contest and we won first place!! It weighed well over 50 pounds, I could barely hold it up.And a few of our designs...

And then there is Andrew.

Party for LONES!

As a late review, Andrew had a birthday and he is now officially 23! So here are a few pictures from the evening.

Good ole Smeech !!

Scholarship Night

This year has been an exceptionally outstanding year due to the fact that Andrew and I were able to recieve enough funds to cover all of our tution, fees and books. It is AWESOME!! Thank you scholarship donors is all I have to say. It's a blessing.

So here I am showing off my sweet award to the crowd so Andrew could snap a quick pic.

And yes, the crowd went wild.....seriously.

Little bit of KB in the background with Squidney. They were a hoot to sit by. And maybe you can see Andrew's sweet fuz on his chin and my nasty fungi lips once again....what a surprise right?

What were we thinking

Well, Andrew and I decided to make a last minute mad dash to go camping before the school year started. So we went to good ole Capital Forest for a night. Well, little did we know, it poured buckets all night!!! It was terrible. But a midst it all, we were still able to have a tone of fun.

This is our little camp. The weather is still ok here.

And then we had a surprise visit from the parentals! My father thought it was halirious that we were camping in the wonder rain of Washinton. Can't you tell by his little smug face. Overall, it was a lot of fun and definately worth it.

What the...

So Andrew took off at a full sprint at my parent's house the other day and this is what he came back with:

Just the beginning

Don't worry, this is not a bomb, but something way better. It's a mini POTATO GUN!!! This little baby shoots potato pieces 30 feet, it's amazing. Andrew and I got a little bored and after watching a few YouTube videos, this is what we came up with. All it is a pen, chapstick tube, two tacts and an igniter from a fire starter. Now we know that a mini one will work, we are going to make one that lauinches whole potatoes.

It's gonna be sweet!

Fourth of July Happenings

Every one got together at the good ole parents house for the fourth and Randy had just gotten back form hanging out with Ben in Mexico. Randy totally got fried and he wanted to show us how much he was peeling, so we went out side and he looked like a snake shedding its skin. But the funniest part was that he even had it in his belly button.

Brian's family, Andrew and I, and Carol decided to try out the Schwinng fest this year and we watched a whole lot of swiss wrestling. It was VERY different. But Andrew said next year he is going to participate because they at least give your free lunch, but if you place like top five, you win a lot of money!

A Super FUN Trip

Well Andrew and I took our first real road trip and it was a blast. We headed to Idaho where his cousin was getting married. We stoped at Rexberg to show Oswald the campus and have Andrew meet up with his old companion from Brazil. We got to meet up with al lhis Aunts and Uncles and even play on his uncle John's dairy farm where I even milked the cow myself. I'll have to get the farm pictures later but here are a few pictures that I have now.

Having to pack for two people is simple.The wonderful flat lands of Idaho.Cousin Lance and his new Bride.Cousin Darren was kind enough to let me borrow his sun glasses.

Cousins Thad, Darren and Josh along with Oswald.Andrew and old comp Alex Cutini (definately spelled his name wrong). Rachael Hillstrom's hubby Dan showing us how to use his new cross bow. It was pretty sweet.

And this is what we shot at. Did some pretty good damage I would say.

The whole trip was a blast and I'd definately do it again!!

Bye bye Gonso

Well now the duo is officially out. Nick left a couple weeks ago, and now Bruce is finally out of here. Good job boys!

Andrew might need glasses...

Well, as we came home from church, Andrew sated he made an amazing discovery. So I asked what it possibly could be and he said, "Jill you have red hair just like me!"

YA RIGHT! Not even close. So we took a picture to compare and he still believes I have red hair.

Official DRAGON Trainers!!

Yep! Andrew and I watched How to Train Your Dragon and it was totally SWEET! We are pretty much experts when it comes to dragons so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Chemistry anybody?

Andrew is taking chemisty and it is a killer. This was his last project....do you think it looks like carbon isotopes?

Well, we tried to go fishing at Mayfield Lake, but when we got there and put the boat in the water, it didn't start! Yep, real cool. We located the problem to the battery, so the boys tried to fix it and all attempts failed. But luckly, there was a second trolling motor powered by gas so we got to go after all.....after the boys spent about an hour or longer trying to fix the other. But the day was unsuccessful with no fish. Andrew caught one, let me real it in, then when he reached down to get it, it got away. Bummer! SO maybe next time things will go better.

The boys on their way to try to figure it out.

Some other people trying to help.

I was in charge of watching the boat, and I got bored so I started taking pictures.


Andrew coming to check on me.

Contest

These are the biggest cheetos EVER!! SO Andrew and I decided to have a contest to see who could fit them entirely in their mouth.

Well, We Made It A Whole Year

This is what I did for Andrew while he was working through out the night. I heard him laughing when he got home and I said, what is going on, Im trying to sleep here. And then he game me these...

We later went to the Portland temple and then ate at this really good place called the Oswego Grill and they even brought out a huge banana split for the two of us to share. It was a great day.

Another Year Old

Well, I had another birthday and I am now officially 22 years old. I'm trying to catch up with the rest of you but it's just now working. Here is the hight light reel from the evening.

We put a silly tattoo on Tripp's belly.

Andrew made a very zesty and yummy mud pie!!
