New path
For all of you that don't already know this, I'm taking a Pharmacy Technician class online. I love it so far! I'm learning so much and I'm kickin butt on the exams! I still have a TON more to learn before I get my certificate, but it will be a great new path in my life.
Well, this past week has been ok. Baldy is up in the snow, so I'm here by myself ... with Adam of course ... but he's so busy with basketball and school that he doesn't usually get home til about 9 pm. I don't know what I'm going to do for Christmas if he's still up there. I'll probably go to his parent's house and help make TAMALES!! She only makes them twice a year ... once for Al's b-day & Christmas ... and they are so good!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone!

November
Bald and I were able to make a visit home together! Thanksgiving was a busy day and I don't have any pictures of it. So Shelle, if you want to send me some, that would be great.
My 2 aunts and I, Katy and Shelle, hit up the outlets at midnight. There were tons of people, but good times with those 2! We pulled an all-nighter. Then Bald and I had to go pick up D and Ju Ju to go out to my Dad's. I ended up sleeping there for about a total of 4 hours. A little here, a little there. It was fun. Oh, and Ju Ju's girlfriend also came out with us. She's a cute girl, but pretty quiet. That night we went to my uncle's house. I threw Bald a little surprise party there, his birthday is on the 28th! He was a little overwhelmed, but we had a good time.
Saturday night Bald and I took Beau-nizz to see the lights at Temple Square. She's so stinkin cute and she always makes me smile. She wouldn't smile for the camera when I would take a picture of her, but she would smile for Bald. Then I let her take some pictures to see if that would warm her up to it, and it did. After the lights, we stopped and got a scoop of ice cream. Beau-nizz killed her first scoop, so we got her another one for the way home. She ate a little over half of it before she didn't want anymore. Then I looked back there about 5 minutes later and she was out! When we got back to the house, Knoxy was still up and played with Bald and his hat.
Sunday, it was time to go home. So we stopped by a couple of houses to say good-bye. I didn't want to leave! But we had to!! I'm glad that we got to go. It was a good trip. For those of you I didn't get to see, I'm sorry I didn't have more time to see all of you that I wanted to see.

Catch up
First of all, I'm sorry it took me so long to post. I was just being lazy. I know, I know...I'm home all day and could find some time to post. I tried a few weeks ago, and I couldn't get it to show my full picture that I wanted it to, so I got pissed and just quit. Now, I'm going to try and post at least once a month! I'm saying that just in case I don't meet my real goal of once a week. So, here's a little run down of what I've been doing since June.
July-nothing to spectacular. For the 4th, we went to Bald's friend's in-law's house. It was fun, there was a pool and a HUGE backyard to play in. On the 11th, Cedric and Tasha were married! Congrats to them! And around the end of the month I went to San Francisco with Sally, her friend Valarie, and Chase. It was so much fun. We wanted to go to Alcatraz, but they were sold out for like 5 days in advanced. So we settled for a boat ride that went under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. We rode the cable cars and just toured the city. It was just an over-night trip, but it was fun!
I spent a lot of time with Sally and Chase this summer. It was a lot of fun, and nice to have someone to hang out with and get to know better.
August-Wow, I can't remember what we did that month! But I do remember that I went home at the end of the month, for the family kampout!! I got there a couple of days before the kampout and went to watch my baby brother play baseball. He's a good little pitcher and I can tell that he really loves the sport. And he's pretty good (don't tell him I said that)! The 3 of us, D, Ju Ju, and I went up on Saturday morning and stayed til Monday. It was so much fun, even with the rain. I guess it was just nice to see all the family. Then I had to come home.
September-The first week, I was still at home visiting. I don't remember much from that month either. I know we, Bald and I, went on a drive to Quincy. It's a beautiful drive. You follow a river almost all the way up. We spent a few minutes in the town, and then came back home. Nothing else too exciting happened....that I can remember!
October-The first weekend in October, the National Yo-Yo Championships were held here in Chico. We stopped by and watched for a bit. It's crazy what some of those kids and adults can do. We also saw the kid that was on Ellen there! And then at the end of the month, we carved some pumpkins! Our first pumpkins together! They turned out pretty good considering we didn't have the right tools for them and we were using old steak knives! Bald did an alien head and I did a skull!
So, there you have it. Our super exciting lives!! Sorry there aren't any pics. I didn't want to have to wait for them all to load. I'm a little impatient with technology these days. I will try better to get more pics up.

Friend's Trip '08
Bald and I on the harbor cruise
Some of the fishing boats that were docked
You call this sand?? It's more like gravel to me!
Sally was mad because Zane kept skipping her! It was a little excessive I have to admit!
Fern Canyon...Oh my gosh it was so pretty there. They actually filmed some of Jurassic Park II there. It was pretty cool. I would definitely recommend going if you ever have the chance...just don't drive a car. You have to go through 3 streams to get there! But my car made it!
More Fern Canyon. The ferns are just growing on the walls.
Banana Slug...I heard that you can lick them and they taste like bananas. But I didn't want to try. Sally tried it back in the day...so I will just believe it.
More ferns.. 
A trail that the boys found when they were exploring.
Bald on an old tree stump in front of a very large Redwood.
This was Big Tree. This picture doesn't show the true size of this thing. It went on forever. I swear I couldn't even see the top
The coast at sunset. The fog would come in too early to get a nice sunset picture, but these 3 are still beautiful.
The towns little old church.
On the last day, we walked down to the beach to check out the tide pools. It was so pretty and there were some interesting things. At first I was like what the heck are these glob things. Then I found out that they were THESE.... 
They contract when they aren't in the water to protect themselves and also to keep in the moisture.
Lots of starfish...and more globs!
Lots of starfish...and more globs!

Happy Birthday to Me!
I had a great day and a great weekend. I'm getting so OLD! I'm 22 years older than my youngest cousin right now...and he's probably not the last either!
Ubaldo bought me a new phone for my birthday! I really like it, BUT BlackBerry is coming out with a newer one that I think I really want. I have 30 days to decide if I like this one or not. So, hopefully it will come out before then and I will be able to check it out. Oh, and it will be in my given price range!
Grampa Ty and Grama Viv also sent me a card...with the traditional $2 bill that they have continued since the passing of Grampa Champ. And a gift card! Grama Barbara sent me a plant. Hopefully I don't kill it!
Grampa Roger sent me a card and some cash!
My dad started a USB flash drive with all the pics that he had of me. I really enjoyed that. I will have to post some of them on here!
And thanks to everyone who called and text! I love and miss you all!

Fire in Paradise
There has been this awful fire in Paradise, CA. It's only about 15 minutes away from Chico. I looked out the window this afternoon and this is what I saw. A huge smoke cloud. It looks so dark and gross. Funny thing is that you can't smell the fire in the air. I always remember being able to smell the fire in Salt Lake when there wasn't a fire too close to the city.

Organization....what is that??
What is wrong with this picture? Well, this is supposed to be the office. Where the computers are on desks and the boys can talk about cards all they want while they are playing. Apparently it has become the "JUNK ROOM." Not only that, but the beer room, the locker room, the drink room, the poster room, the hotel storage room and last but not least...a sh** hole.
In this first picture I would Like to point out a couple of things...- The poker table that we just HAD to get from Jake's house. The one that never has been used at our house.
- The FIVE boxes beer 3 Early Spring Beer and 2 Summerfest below the ESB
- The basketball bags that are there for???
- The case of water UNDER the bags
- The wonderful carpet cleaner that needs to go back to my Auntie, but I love it so much....and I forgot it last time I visited Utah.
- Can you see the corner desk?? Me either. It's the one on the far left of the photo...it's covered with Ubaldo's work clothes. I don't know why they can't go in our bedroom.
- The only things that are mine...the 2 clear storage containers...that are usually in the closet, but I took them out to find something and never put them back!
- Finally, our paper towels and shredder.
Moving on....this is the other side of the room.
- The "BEER FRIDGE"
- Empty boxes of beer
- Empty card box from Christmas
- Empty copier paper boxes
- Blue cups
- Tin foil
- Adam's desk.
- My mirror
- JUNK, JUNK and more JUNK. Oh yes and more empty beer boxes
Adam's desk again...showing the MESS of discs and empty Gatorade case. Do you think I need to get the boys moving on now what has become their junk room?? I do.
And this is...wait a second....how did this get in there?? Another story for another time!! It could be my mess, but where??!

Kangaroo Zoo
My mom and I took Morgan, Jace, Aidan and Beau here while I was visiting. They had a lot of fun. There aren't a whole bunch of slides there, maybe 5 or 6, but they still enjoyed themselves for a couple of hours. They even had 2 little play areas for kids under 4 and one for kids 8 and under. Beau liked those the best because she could do it herself. The other kids loved the biggest slide. Their faces were priceless!! We even talked my mom into doing it!
