YA!!!!!!!

Olympics, Olympics

Aw, the Olympics. Getting better and better as the days go along. Nothing better to watch. Since we just got our cabel installed last night, we've missed out on pretty much everything but the opening ceremonies and gymnastics. I was desperate. We went to Kristen's to watch Gymnastics, but got there early and had the opp. to watch diving. Suh-weet! It was so cool to see those tricks. It must be SO much pressure. US was in 2nd, when all of a sudden Russia and Germany kicked them out. Actually, they were tied for first! They obviously didn't think much of it!! Poor Chinese thirteen-year-old girl doing gymnastics did two AMAZING tricks on high bar in a row-- two releases!! In pretty much two half-seconds!! Fell right down. And Nastia Liukin, whose graceful routine was doing great until her dismount, where she skidded back and fell, right in front of her father/coach. Poor girl must have been dying. Tonight I am SO going to dvr Shawn Johnson winning the gold and Micheal Phelps going for it. This is the most involved Olympics I have ever watched (mostly because last Olympics was four years ago and I was only barely eight). But I am going to keep on watching! How about you?

Beijing

This was quite the show. Did anyone else nearly die from watching it? The moveable type was seriously one of the coolest parts. I can't believe they were people! I thought for sure it was a timed machine-- even that technology would be amazing. And the green guys that went bright colors. WOW. That was the coolest show ever. Vancouver has a lot expected of them now.

It's Official

We are the official residence owners of the wonderfully tight home of Jerry and Marilyn McGhie. No, sorry, you heard that wrong. We are living temporarily in their home. But personally I think it's great to have a roof to sleep under. When Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Marilyn left, we weren't exactly sure at that time that we were going to be temporary owners of their wonderful home (btw, guys, the new carpeting looks GREAT and is so nice I could sleep on it!). With continuous hours of Psych ahead of us and the great Alpine Days partly over, there's nothing more to love (oh, and the Olympics-- that's pretty great, too!). So, as far as we're concerned, there's nothing else happier. School is just a downer. Shopping is the best. Buying new grocries and some new appliances is so-so. Having to re-clean everything because the guy before took NO CARE whatsoever to this home is pretty sad. But we're still happy.

Silly but cute

Here we are!

Here's a little taste of Reyna and I's summer. Today they are going to Ogden, and I won't see them till next summer. Waaa!!!! But we spent nearly EVERY day of July together anyway. . . It was so much fun! Yesterday, we went to the mall and she got her haircut, and we both got proffesional Clinique makeovers. . .it was so much fun!!

We've been mostly goofing off (doing those funny - but cute - photoshoots and playing around) It's been great having Aleona, her friend from Russia, come stay with us too. Aleona got a makeover yesterday too. It was so much fun!!!

Thanks for the great summer girls!!! Next year, I want to have even more fun (is that possible???)
