Girls Just Want to Have Lunch

So I guess school hasn't slowed us down as much as I was expecting. The last couple of weekends have been all about the girls. Last Friday, Heather and I had a girls night out while the boys were at a football game. We had some great Indian food at the Bombay House, and then went to see the House Bunny. It was so freakin hilarious. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in a movie. We both loved it. One of these pictures is too dark but I had to take it. There were three boys sitting behind us in the chick flick and they didn't have girls with them. Kinda funny.
 
 



































Then on Tuesday I got to go to the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE tour! Dana got tickets for everyone and my mom joined us. The dancing was amazing. It's so different seeing it live. We went to Costa Vida beforehand and got home late but it was so fun.

Last night was Ogden High's homecoming game. I met Heather there to watch them lose to Morgan, which was pretty sad. Then it was Olive Garden and a movie. And we decided to let the guys go ahead and join us for that. :)

Baby

I saw this on a friend's blog (hey Keri!) and I had to try it. We are not looking to pop out any children any time soon, but I've always thought the best part would be seeing what the little tykes look like. Apparently, either Tim or myself have some black in us. Pretty dang cute kids though.

Ode

I have the cutest dog. You should only be so lucky. I realize I have been posting a lot of videos lately, and I am cool with that. I also realize that the following videos are probably not interesting to anyone but me and Tim and maybe Tim's sister that gave us this adorable fluff ball because her kid is allergic. And I thank my lucky stars every day that Tim is not allergic, as that is not always the case with him and dogs.

One of you may be thinking that my dog is not well behaved because he chases his tail and you heard on the Dog Whisperer that is bad, but you would be wrong. He's perfect. Actually, what am I saying, this little beast ruined a pair of my shoes today. I totally forgot already. Until I just remembered just now.

Second video: They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Casper is now almost three and last week Tim and I taught him to roll in about 20 minutes, maybe 10. His previous tricks included dance, sit, shake and lay. Now that he has learned to roll, he can't seem to remember any of those others.

Yes, my hands are huge. And yes, my pants say HO on them.

New Post

Well summer is coming to a close, and I am determined not to let it make me want to cry and beg Tim to move to Arizona. We have done a lot of fun things this summer, and have been trying to live up our last few weeks of warmth. We went to Heather and Dallan's cabin in Lava Hot Springs, had dinners with friends, watched a bunch of little league games, went to Peach Days, and last weekend we went to St. George.

We took my little brother, Kelson, and Tim's dad drove (slowly) to break in his new truck. Tim's sister Sue's daughter Kylee developed a major crush on Kelson. It was so cute, she was talking to him and showing off for him the whole time. She put on this little show for us. I think my favorite part is Sue in the background egging her on.

Crystal

Some silly facts about the person behind the blog.
 
1. I am always bored. I have a hard time ever finishing a project because I get sick of it so quickly. If I could move once a year I would, it would give me something new to look forward to. I always have this feeling that there must be something better or more exciting to do than whatever I am doing right now. It has made school a little difficult, and is the only reason I ever think I want a kid. I think this is one of the reasons I am the world's best (worst?) procrastinator.
 
2. I also have a sweet tooth! (Good one Heather) I loooove candy. My favorites are the extra-sweet sugary candy like airheads, skittles, and of course my all time fav: NERD ROPES. I feel like I need something sweet after every meal, so I try to keep a quarter with me to buy candy when I can. It is kind of pathetic that most of my memories are tied to food in some way, like red airheads at the pool in high school. Really though, I just love eating.
 
3. I hate shopping. Don't get me wrong, I love getting new things, but I hate the whole process. I don't like walking from store to store. I get completely overwhelmed looking through rows of stuff to find the one thing I want. And I am not a good shopper. I don't have the gene that lets you look at something and know that it will work/will be perfect/will be a complete disaster. When I decide it is finally time to buck up and head to the store, I have to get in and get out.
 
4. I want to live on a farm someday. Or at least I want to own a goat. I am always looking for a place where I can stretch my legs, but that isn't inconvenient. I think part of the reason I want a lot of land is that I am an animal lover through and through. In my life I have owned 3 rabbits, a million cats, a dog, a snake, a lizard, hamsters, a cockatiel, and the list goes on. I need room for all the animals I will have one day.

5. I am anal about oral care. :)
6. Six things huh. OK I am going to commit to finishing this post. Um...I have to have things balanced. For example: if I bump my elbow on something, I have to hit the other elbow until the pain in both elbows matches. Also, I hate stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk, but if I take an uneven number of steps in between cracks to avoid steping on the crack, it drive me NUTS.
