bass lake, california

This place was heaven.
I slept under the stars, kayaked, read twilight, ate food, read twilight, laughed with katherine, swam in the lake, went on the boat, kayaked under the stars, and read some more twilight.

Thanks Kath, good to see you.

Kneaders

Where do you want to go to Lunch?

You want to go to Kneaders. It is so much more than a bakery. As you walk in there are shelves of adorable crafts and gift baskets.

Order a Turkey Ranch on Asiago Cheese Bread, grilled. Get the sandwich with combo #3 which includes kettle chips, soda and a fruit tart. It will change your life.

Thanks for sharing Hallie.

I am staying in Sundance for a family reunion right now.

I wasn't planning to take a shower before bed at 1:00am. But then I saw the shower. It had a pebble floor and rock walls. I love nature. And it had a rain shower head on the ceiling and 5 shower heads on the wall, a steamer, and my favorite shampoo inside. I couldn't resist.

I will be breaking into this cabin for the rest of my life to shower. I refuse to shower anywhere else.

And the faucets are waterfall faucets!

THE PARADE!

my nephews thought the colonial guy was a pirateMy brother daron (on the left) poured water into everyone's lap so we looked like we wet our pants. Khyl (right) distracted him as I poured my whole water bottle down his pants.

FAMILY PARTY

Ethan set up an obstacle course in the field by our house.

serpenting through the obstacles
exploding through the stacked boxes for the finish
Then we danced the night away at the cul-de-sac of fire!

This fourth of July will go down in history as the BEST ever. seriously.

WALL-E

loved loved loved it!
I want to BE wall-e. I can totally relate. And I want his house.
GO SEE IT! Even if you are 2 years old or 97 years old.

Happy Canada Day!

miss you manda

Amanda: I am going to miss you! You're my favorite ward friend. You always write me an anonymous nice note, weekly, and I know it's you because of your handwriting. You never have anything negative to say and you put a smile on everyone's face. We have so much in common, including brusing our teeth!

My favorite g-chat with you:
Amanda: PAPER/ROCK/SCISSORS!!!!!!!!!

Amanda: okay good idea

Amanda: THREE! rock

Amanda: BWAAAA shoooooooooooot

LOVE YOU MANDA!

What's in your shower?

7:11 am

that is what time my alarm is set to wake me up in the mornings. Just in case you were wondering.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift — that is why it is called the present.

But do you ever just want to skip forward a few days...or months?

I do.

love you daddy
