While we were on our honeymoon Scott took me to a place that sells a tasty treat called a fat sandwich. Friends of the west coast, meet:

The fat sandwhich.

Friends of the east coast, please put your hands together for:

The Wise Guy. This is the closest thing to a fat sandwich on our end of the country :)

It includes: three cheese sticks, a hamburger patty, pepperoni, marinara sauce and banana peppers. MMMMMMM, tasty!

So for Scott's early birthday-ness we went to Red Robin to redeem his free gourmet burger. He chose the Bonzai burger with pineapple and tomato and lettuce and goodness. He got a free one for becoming an efan here http://www.redrobin.com/eclub/ (DO IT! It's soooo worth it!!!!!)

He got a burger, bottomless fries and...

an ice cream sundae :)

It was a fun way to start celebrating his birthday :) We don't go out to eat much so that made the experience even better since we could really appreciate it :)

Hooray for free food!

In other news, my camera is not dead. In fact, I think my brian was. haha. You see, I had bought lithium batteries months ago and they had been working great until a month ago when they died and I tried to charge them and the charged a little but...they are not supposed to be recharged. oops! I thought I had bought rechargable batteries but in the end they were not so when I put them in my camera and it didn't work I thought it was my camera's fault (we had put the batteries in other things and it seemed to work for other things). So in the end, I still have my wonderful camera!

-Our camera broke (boo!!!!)

sorry, no pictures for you

But isn't our life still so fun?! I thought so :)

Preschool Highlight

So like I mentioned before, I am going to share my favorite funny stories of other people's kids. I am currently kind of like an aid in a 1st grade class (not a big fan, I like younger kids. They are funnier!) and working in a preschool. At preschool this week I was asking a little girl to name the professions of the plastic toys we were playing with. When she got to the fire fighter she said, "You know what? This one time I saw a lady firefighter and she was totally using her princess hose to put out a fire! Isn't that so cool?! And then there was smoke all around her but she still looked like a princess to me."

Kids are so cute!!!

Our Gale parents were nice enough to give us a new form of entertainment this past weekend. Scott and Dan have spend many hours of enjoyment playing our new Wii this past week

Scott really loved boxing and got into it for sure. I get a good kick out of watching this video. Go ahead, watch it over and over, I think it just gets funnier each time too :)

Another talent my husband has is entertaining children. When we were visiting my uncle and aunt last week Scott and my cousins got into a dodgeball game, it was basically the kids vs. Scott.

Well, as you can see, our life is fun and "wii" are just so cool :)

P.S. I started up school again this week, be prepared for many funny stories :) This semester I am working in two different schools kind of like a teacher's aid and I can already tell, after one day of class, that these kids are going to bring many smiles to my face and yours!

Have a fun week and be sure to look for the roses among the thorns!

Then we came to Utah and made memories with my family as well...

Our vacation was perfect, we had a great time and are more willing to be grown-ups since we have had some time to play with our families. Hooray for the summer!

This week we had some new and exciting adventures. We ended the week with a trip to the Idaho Falls temple. Scott's parents were sealed in this temple and it is my mom's favorite temple. It was really neat getting to go. I also saw Aunt Joanne on my way out!

This week was the Madison County Fair. This shot is the fair from our mailbox. We had really good parking ;)

Here is another shot of the fair, from inside. It wasn't real big but it was fun and cute.

We didn't ride any rides but we went to see the animals. Scott enjoyed the cows and I just tried to hold my breath (I am a little afraid of cows...some childhood memories that still haunt me)

Scott also liked the goats and wants one like this when he grows up.

The library had a lot of books for sale so we got some for our personal library.

We ended up spending a total of $3.50 for all these books! I was pretty excited! :)

This week I also organized some beads and buttons that I got a few weeks ago for scrapbooking. I am all sorts of excited to get to work and use my new purchases :)

So here is an arm update. This shot was taken at the beggining of this week when I saw that there was even bruising on the back of my arm, aren't there so many pretty colors?

This is a picture taken a week after my plasma donating experience...I don't think I will be doing that again...

We are doing great, having a fun and relaxing summer. We are getting really excited for the upcoming Kinghorn Family Conference in Maryland. 13 days and counting! Woohoo!!! :)
