YAAAMS!!

I love yams! Or sweet Potatoes! I still don't know what I'm eating! But whatever they are, they are a newly discovered delicious dish and I would eat them every day if I constantly had them in stock. 350 degrees in the oven, stabbed one time with a knife, for an hour or until they are soft and oozing their sweet juices. They are delicious and healthy plain, or you can add butter and brown sugar to make them a little unhealthy. But they are so good it's insane. Everybody should have one for dinner tonight! They look like the picture below.
**edited to note that these are, in fact, yams that I am eating.

Reno Rib Cook Off here we COME!

I know I never post anything, but I just keep thinking about the fact that G and I are gonna be in Reno in 21 days and WE CAN NOT WAIT!!!!! And this is why!!!

If you need somewhere delicious to go over labor day weekend, come on out! You will not be disapointed!

We love Lamb Chop.

Meet Lamb Chop. She comes out of her egg, is very cute, and is our current pet. Yes, we STILL don't have a dog. But, pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow: V has signed up to volunteer at the humane society - starting JUNE 3RD! 2 months away! Here's to hoping I get to socialize the bunnies! And here's the 2 dogs up for adoption that we're thinking about getting to replace Lamb Chop. Below is Jamocha, and below Jamocha is Bingo.

Basic Flight Training Courses

We are now certified! We went to the IFly Utah in Ogden, for some INDOOR SKYDIVING. We were both nervous going in to the center, especially George! He was freaking out as we were getting outfitted in our jumpsuits and gear and looking for any excuse to bow out, but ultimately he mustered up his last ounce of strength and we both made it onto the waiting bench with the other 8 members of our group. It helped that a 6 year old was the first one to go into the chute.

Everyone in the group got two, one-minute sessions in the tunnel of wind. The first time the instructor helped adjust your body position so you were able to fly by yourself without going crazy. The second time he held on to you and was flying with you, taking you up and down the chute and spinning around -- like you are your own skydiving duet! It was awesome! After everyone went, he got 3 minutes of show-off time, and he could do some pretty crazy stuff, such as is seen here. (just a random video off you tube, but it looked the same.)

Turns out George and I are naturals - after the session, other people in the group were asking us if we'd been before, because yes, we were that good. George now wants to work there, and we are looking for any excuse to go back...so if anyone's ever interested, do let us know and we'll be there. Someday we'll be as good as that video.

All the following pictures are courtesy of some really nice people who were taking pictures of all the other flyers in our group (they were all in the same family). We were lucky they were so nice so we could have some pictures!

I am in the green suit and George is in the blue suit.

Frenchies and their babies

So here's why french bulldogs cost so much:

1. They can not reproduce naturally. They must be artificially inseminated.

2. They can not give birth naturally. They must have c-sections. This is due to their narrow hips and large heads.

So basically they shouldn't be alive today. Regardless, we desperately want one and will settle for nothing less!

Also, here is a fun video to watch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72YrT2lSx1E

...sigh...

We just found out french bulldog puppies start at $1500.

Someday...

Blokus...continued...

So we caved and bought Blokus for ourselves just in time to play with Spring this past weekend (She loved it btw - and so did Daniel) and THEN found out that you can play online at blokus.com. Well let's just say I thought I was good, but I'm actually not. I played against a lady named Hulu Hulu and I got ANNIHILATED. And if anyone's interested they have world-wide blokus tournaments every so often. This is proof that Blokus really is a big deal.

Games

So my 9-year-old little brother, Payton, received this game (BLOKUS - TRIGON) for Christmas. Naturally, I was unbeatable, and while George and I were in Washington, we played at least 7 games a session, twice per day. I recommend it to EVERYBODY. You can even play with just two people!! It's awesome!

My other little brother, Mackay(age7), got Bumparena. I definitely don't recommend that one. zzzzzzzzz. For some reason he kinda liked it though.







On a side note, I also played my first game of
Wackee Six at the Gillett's for New Years. It's pretty much the same as Nertz and is crazy fun.

I also like Settlers of Catan and Rummikub.

George swears he hates all board games except for Blokus and Rummikub. We are working on this.
