New Car...EEEK!!!

Alright everyone, I finally did it. As of today I am a proud owner of a new car! It is time to say goodbye to my longtime friend and travel buddy, the 14 year old Volkswagon Jetta. It has given me hours of enjoyment, company for those cold mornings, and I know some of my friends really enjoyed it too. Here are some pictures of my new companion and I look forward to a long and healthy relationship! Any name suggestions? I was never quite able to find one that fit my Jetta, any suggestions are welcome!

Okay, I know it has been a long time so here I am, doing a new post to update you all on my very exciting life. I have had a cold for the past week and a half which has been all that I hoped for...and more. But I believe it's on its way out, the little white blood cells are finally gaining some ground. I went to a Jazz game last Monday with my friend Anita, her roommate Christine and her boyfriend which was really fun. We won the game, but the problem with the cheap seats is who else can afford the cheap seats. First of all, we were pretty much 2 rows from the very top of the stadium, second there were about fifteen 12 year olds sitting behind us, and they were kicking the back of my seat, and they were SO LOUD!!! I think we all decided that we would be willing to pay a little bit more for better seats

The next exciting thing that has happened to me recently was that my sister Brooke had her baby!!

This is from when he was either a few hours or a day or two old...cute huh!

They named him Kyle Jacob Lemburg and unfortunately since I have been sick, I have yet to meet him in person. I hope to remedy that this weekend.

Here is another picture of him at a week old, and with his older brother

So things should start getting pretty interesting from here on out, and I will try to keep you all updated on all of it!

...thanks for you patience..hehe

Dance Recital

So, you will have to forgive me the poor taping quality of this film, it was my first time and I didn't have a tripod. Anyway, the video above is part of Katelyn's dance, in the beginning she is the third from the right, and then when I move the camera she becomes the fourth from the right. She was SO DANG CUTE, and she knew everything, she didn't make one mistake!!





And then here is part of Elizabeth's dance. She did really well too. She is the second girl in the row that is the second to the right.

As you can see by this picture, Elizabeth is not particularly camera shy...hehe

Katelyn however, was pretending to be shy about it all. Eric was trying to get her picture and she kept hiding behind her Heather.

They both did a really good job and we all enjoyed the program!

Here is one more dance that I caught part of that I don't know anyone who's in it, it was just cute

The Razor Conspiracy

Okay, I don't know how many of you women out there have had this same problem, but I decided it was finally time for me to speak out. I have had to start buying a man's razor in order to get a good shave!! Considering that women shave a larger percentage of their body then men do (and considering that some men don't even shave at all...) you would think we would have the better razor, but unfortunately that is not the case. I recently bought a razor made for a woman, meaning that it was pink and had a cushy handle, and it had four blades to make you think it would be as good as a man's. It wasn't too bad, but I still haven't gotten the same results that I had when I used a razor made and "packaged" for men.

I guess it's all a marketing scheme, women shave more, so if they have a not so good razor, they will have to buy one more often...shame on those companies!

I say it's time for all razors to be created equally, who's with me? Because, I don't know about you, but all I want is a good, close shave. Is that too much to ask?

University of Utah- Bleed Red

So this past weekend was more eventful than all others in recent memory. My illustrious boss went out of town for a few days of pampering and relaxation...therefore I got his tickets for the University of Utah basketball game. He has season tickets for the best seats in the arena, right by the basketball team, and right behind the west side hoop. We could hear the coach yelling and hear the players shouting plays to each other, which was a new experience. The only unfortunate thing is that because we were in such privileged seats, they never threw free shirts or treats at us, which I think is complete favoritism. Luckily Jon brought dried and cinnamon covered apples to treat us all. Anita and I were completely focused on the game, Jon and his friend Mark were scouting out the ladies...at least I hope that's what they were trying to do (wink)

We won by a large margin, and were always ahead on the scoreboard which might have made it a little boring, but we were so close to the action that I didn't even look at the scoreboard. After our victory we celebrated by going to the Old Spaghetti Factory. Overall it was great weekend for the U as we won a football game against Wyoming with a score of 50-0. GO UTES!!

BIRTHDAY DINNERS

In our family, when it is our birthday we get to pick what we want for dinner and then one Sunday everyone comes over to celebrate. This past Sunday we celebrated Bonnie, Eric, Jared (in his absence), and my Mother's birthdays. Eric and my mother share a birthdate, and Bonnie's is later in the month. Bonnie chose the dinner and it was her usual homemade chicken cordon bleu...mmm, mmm, mmm. Eric chose the dessert which was bannana creme pie and mom also made a lemon peach pie which was delish. The house is always crazy with nine adults and four kids running around, but it is always fun to get everyone together. The youngest child, Evan was so excited to be able to play with his cousins, he and Brooke and Steve arrived first and Evan couldn't wait for everyone else to arrive. Overall it was a very enjoyable evening with the fam, minus Amber and Jared :(
