Sisters

Here's a little picture to get you excited!! I love you all!!! We missed you Julia and Becky. But we thought of you when we were wearing your bridesmaid dresses.

Sister Outing 2011!

Calling all sisters! So there have been many ideas for the sister outing this year but I think this one is the winner. First, it will be the first weekend in August (the 5 - 7) if that works for everyone. If it doesn't then tell me. So we will be camping by the coast in the Redwoods somewhere. We will drive there thursday morning and get there by early afternoon and stay til either saturday morning or afternoon and then come back. its about a 3 1/2 hour drive I believe. Anyways, it should be lots and lots of fun! If you approve please comment on your approval. If you do not approve or can think of better ideas then please let us know of them. Thank you!

Julia and Bryan were here :)

It was really fun to have Julia and Bryan come over for the weekend and a bit more. We relaxed, went to the beach, Julia was pretty much a pro surfer at Kahana, made 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies each day Julia was here, and ate them all up lickety-split. Tucker had a great time with them both and we were sad to say goodbye!

Julia was showing us how she is learning to draw model faces for her design classes. Not bad, eh?


Julia is such a great family photographer...


Can't wait to see everyone again this summer!

Recent Events

1. April General Conference

Mom, Dad, and I fit in a short utah trip to go to conference and visit Ape, the Larsens, and some mission friends.

Hna (Kathy Jo) Hanson let us use her 3 tickets she had for her family and then Elder Rose and I scalped 2 more tickets for mom and dad. We all went inside for the Sunday Morning Session!

Hna Rider, Hna Hanson, Jeff Rose, Me, Hna Greene

We went to Yogurtland with Ape, her boyfriend Andrew, and Camille! Camille entertained us with stories and Andrew talked to us about his computer job, archeology major, and usta. He's a very nice Kentuckian.

2. KT, Gio, Zeke, and Lili came during spring break!

Gio sat in on the post-game pep talk--he's not shy at all! (That's him in red.) Capital Ellie is the best and best-looking goalie ever, despite their loss that day.

3. Snowboarding with Britta and Alan

Only Al would spot a half-burried ziplock back of red vines from the ski lift and then snowboard down to find them for us. Thank Al!

Britta is already pretty much going Professional after her first time snowboarding! She did so well she even flew into the air a few times landing unpleasantly and even throwing up. She's a really good sport.

4. Yesenia

It was fun to see Yesenia at the YSA Fireside at the mormon center last week. She said she wasn't sure if it was me until I smiled and she could identify the "demartini teeth." I'm not sure what "demartini teeth" look like.

5. Yet another snow storm

One of the pine trees fell on the Taylor's house. They are all okay.

BNP Paribas Open

The Goddards, Mom, Dad, Jules, and I really enjoyed ourselves in Palm Desert watching tennis, swimming, and enjoying the resort--yes we are really spoiled. It was fun though and for $21 for the day we could all go next year watch the best tennis players in the world battle out long points and 140 mph serves! Along with McDonald's, Disneyland, and General Conference, it is just one of those happiest places.

What would it be like to be famous? I have never been in close proximity to so many famous persons before, and I kept asking myself, "What is their personal life like? Do they maybe wish they could go somewhere unnoticed for once? Are they happy?" Here are some people we saw:

Djokovic (Men Singles 2011 Champion!)

Andy Roddick

Roger Federer

Nadal

Jenna Fischer (Pam Beasley) with her husband

It was a fun time! Who's in for next year?
