Take Me Out to the Ball Game

We went to our first Major League Baseball game. The Pittsburgh Pirates are a hit and miss team, but they won!! Our tickets were on the sunny side and it was HOT! It was fun to cheer on the team and see all the crazy fans.

Pittsburgh at Sunset

There are really beautiful sunsets here. We didn't even plan to get up to the look out point when the sun was setting, but it was perfect timing!

Oh Hi, Ohio!

This week I was able to drive to Columbus, Ohio. My cousin Candace lives there, and it is also where the closest temple is. I drove down in the morning and spent the afternoon with my cousin. We ate at this yummy Italian restaurant and then went to the temple! Since we have been back on the East coast the last few summers, I have been able to see Candace once or twice each summer!


For Cinco de Mayo, a group of us went out to eat at Moe's. It is similar to a Cafe Rio or Bajio. McKinley was LOVING the guacamole, and anything else she could dip her food into!

I also got my chip platter that I painted while in South Carolina! So, naturally, I had some chips and salsa on Cinco de Mayo too!


We also found a cute icecream place named "Stacy Jo's"

Sunny South Carolina

Eventually, before I die, I hope to visit ALL 50 States. This last week I was able to check two more states of my list; North and South Carolina! (total of 36/50) I was able to fly down to visit my sister and her family. It is definitely in the "south". People were extremely friendly. I was walking my dog around the block and EVERY car that passed me waved. The weather was great and the company was better!!

He was the most snuggley little bug in the world. He would crawl over and climb into my lap when ever he could see me!!

We went to a park that had 'waterfowl'

Mom, this picture is for you...can you see the size of their feet???

Columbia South Carolina Temple


We went to this fun place named MAD PLATTER. You got to pick out a piece of pottery and paint/glaze it yourself. Then they bake them for you.

Aidan picked a fish....it will be forever known as the rainbow fish

Abby made an adorable picture frame

I picked a square chip & dip platter

Kristen mad a reg square platter

We had a blast. I hope we get to do it again soon!!

Road Tripin 2010

We made the famous drive from UT to PA. 28 total driving hours...(plus eating, potty stops, and sleep time) = 2 1/2 days of sitting in my car. We each drove a car this year so Cam and I were both solo. I was worried about it, but luckily/unfortunately we hit some pretty scary weather. On a good note, it kept me paying attention to my driving!

Snow in Wyoming

Rain almost the rest of the way (at least I didn't get too many bug splats!)

Max at the hotel, they gave him a bag full of doggie treats.

Moving On

Many of you already know, but for those that haven't heard...here is the official announcement. Camron and I are moving again. I fought it for awhile because I feel like we just got settled into our house. I finally feel like we are really getting to know our neighbors and ward. But, as soon as I told Cam I felt like we could consider it, things just fell into place.

We have listed our house for sale. It is official. We put it on the market last week. If your are interested in seeing the pictures and stuff, here is the website:

Home for Sale


We listed it last Monday and have already had 6 showings. Hopefully despite the sad economy, we will be able to sell it quickly.

Once we finish in Pittsburgh, we will be going back to Cache Valley! Things I am not looking forward to...colder temperature, more snow, FREEZING winter, more snow, crapy mall... Things to look forward to...friends and family close by, NEW house, Camron won't have to stay over night in Logan with out me anymore, free gym membership.

Here are some pictures of our NEW house. We close on it the end of MAY, but we won't move in until September. The pics aren't the best quality because they are saved from Cam's phone

Spring Cleaning

I have been cleaning my house and the other day I took on the daunting task of organizing and sweeping my basement. I find cleaning and organizing very satisfying...until I come across one of these. I lifted some things off the ground and came across this creepy crawly corpse. Luckily, I had the basement sprayed two weeks before...So I guess it could have been worse. I could have found him ALIVE!!!


For those of you that know me really well, you will be proud to know that after collecting myself, I returned to the basement, kept on my task, and in the end found about 7 more of these buggers that had crawled to their death. AND...I even swept them up with a dust pan and put them in a garbage bag!! Why do they like to find tight dark spaces to die in?? As, I said before, at least they were DEAD and not crawling at me. As you can see in the pic, they are a lot smaller once curled up on themselves!! (This one was the size of a quarter!!)
