Colby disappeared...........

A perk of working at Kingsbury Hall, we get to go to a few shows. This weekend (Saturday, May 16th) was David Copperfield. We decided to go after my shift at nine o'clock. The show was awesome, loved every second of it! Our seats were really good and Colby was hoping he'd get called on but it was right at the end of the show, so we were doubting it. But then, Copperfield began throwing balls into the audience and we bounced them around and when the music stopped, if you had one to got to go on stage. Of course, Colby being lucky like he is caught one and got called onto the stage for the finale. Copperfield put Colby and nine other audience members into a hanging box with chairs and flashlights, covered them up and made them disappear. Suddenly, seconds later they reappeared at the back of the theatre. Colby was so excited to be a part of a magic trick and a really cool one at that! He was also lucky enough to go backstage and shake David Copperfield's hand and even got a signed
picture. (I only had my phone for pictures)

Too much sun!!!!!

We loved to watch the volleyball games but when we got home Colby and I discovered we definitely should have used sunscreen! We were both burnt in the exact same spot. So we took this silly picture.......

Chris and Mary's Volleyball

On Saturday we went to Cottonwood complex to watch Mary and Chris play in their first volleyball tournament as a team. They did awesome! It was really fun to watch and visit. We had a fun cheering section, throughout the day Val, Mark, Layla, Travis, Hannah, Dave, Hailey, Ethan, Erin, Charly, Nona, Katie, Colby and I were all there to watch and visit.

May 11th......

It's hard to believe Dad would be 63. Every year on Dad's Birthday we try to go to a baseball game, eat hot dogs and visit. We always have a great time! This year we couldn't all be together but still celebrated the same.














Also, it wouldn't be a true Dad's Day without some work and swearing. Nona and I got up early, both lucky to get the day off and began work on are always shabby backyard. Although in the last few years if you saw it from beginning to end there has been a dramatic change (thanks to BVT2 and kids) and we're still workin!
We have lots of crazy over grown pyracantha and rose bushes, we started hacking and trimming but it took quite a while to even make a dent. This is where the swearing comes in......
About eleven or twelve years ago, on a similar project, Dad, Betsy, Katie and I were trimming bushes and a cherry tree. Dad has a shed he built out with electricity and everything. So, before we were allowed to begin work we needed a lesson in how not to cut the electric wiring he had running from the house to the shed. Which Dad started by saying 'be very careful and you have to avoid cutting the wires or you might get shocked', and 'see do it just like this.....'. Suddenly Dad got zapped when he clipped both wires. Then a few swear words later and a look at the clippers that now had a little charred hole in them, we couldn't help but laugh at him and bug him about it the rest of the day. He even thought it was pretty funny.
Anyway, so while Mom and I are working she decided to run inside for drinks and I was still outside with the electric bush trimmer. I suddenly see wires whip passed my face and immediately tangle up in the trimmer. Scared for my life I drop the trimmer, now attached to the wires. Needless to say, being my father's daughter I also said a few words. There was no shock but backing up slowly I look to see where the wires are attached, lo and behold the very wires that used to run electricity to the shed. Luckily for me Dad had clipped them a few years earlier.

Movies, movies and more movies

What can I say, I was reading Kali's blog and she inspired me. Colby and I were definately ment to be, in many ways but the one people seem to notice and mention most is our rediculious need to watch as many movies (and tv series) as possible. So here are some of our favorite movie quotes......
