So I have some pictures that I wanted to share of some random summer stuff.....


This is Aidan. Our friends Josh and Mindys little boy. He is seriously such a good baby! He is almost 8 months old. He hardly ever cries, and loves to be held and played with! =] He usually stays inside with the girls when all the boys are out in the garage doing "boy stuff." He is a chunk...and loooooves to eat! He recognizes me when I walk into their house, and that makes me so excited!! Everyone knows how much I love babies...if I could afford them right now Id have a housefull!! :) (But for now I'll just settle with Mr. Aidan!))







This Summer we had a TON of weddings to go to...and Zach and I aren't even done...we have 2 more in September to go to! A few weeks ago Mom, Dad, Morgan and myself went to Jason Gardners wedding. We have known Jason for over 10 years...and his new wife too!! She was the Captain of the Cheer Squad at NC when Jason played ball for dad. It was so fun to see them finally tie the knot! A few of Jasons groomsmen were his teammates from Arizona, that are now in the NBA. They were quite the "hit." Morgan wants to marry Luke Walton, he was super nice. It was a fun wedding, and we were glad to be invited! :)
















I just wanted to share those pictures :) Not to mention I'm kinda bored at work!!

I also started school this week. Just ask Z! I haven't been the easiest person in the world to live with! He is amazing though! He is pushing me and making me stay positive about all of my stress!! I'm so lucky! I paid extra to have my books overnighted and they still aren't here 3 days later! NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT!! So hopefully the books will be here soon and I can get a move on it! Pray for me...wish me luck...whatever...I just hope I do well!! :) I really really want it this time!

5th Annual Bryce Mitchell Golf Tourney

We just finished the 5th Annual Bryce Mitchell Memorial Golf Tourney. It was amazing. The last I heard we raised right around $15,000 at the dinner alone!! It was so awesome. On the way there was a Colts van in front of us, and I was the idiot that said "I wonder what that Colts van was for?!" Only for Zach to say to me...."Obviously that is the Super Bowl Trophy!" The Trophy was a HUGE hit! Everyone was getting their picture taken with it, it was great! The "security" guy who was there watching over the trophy had a ring, and was also letting poeple take their pictures with the ring. It was so awesome to see so many people that we haven't seen in a while come together for Bryce, and our family! :)

[[Audra and Nicole made it out!! It meant so much!]]


The Saturday before the big 2 days, me, Zach, Morgan, Payton, Mom and Linda helped set things up and stuff goodie bags....that was fun...esp with Z's hurt hand! It was a good time though...we just hung out at the Golf Course for a while, and then went our seperate ways, before meeting for my birthday celebration!!! =]






"take a picture of me doing this"






Kelvin Sampson was our speaker. He was super nice. Everyone wanted to talk to him, so he asked my momto go up and get his plate, for dinner. It was too funny. He spoke about the troops over in different parts of the world. It was interesting. I think that everyone thought he was going to talk about sports, but he didn't. He talked about how there are bigger things in the world, and to appreciate it what we have, and to appreciate what others are doing for us in other countries. It was nice.! :)



Mom and Kelvin

It was also my birthday, and dad made me stand up in front of all 250 people and they sang happy birthday to me! I was extremely embarassed. And Zach sure thought it was hilarious. bahaha. It seems that something always falls on my birthday, whether it be my family leaves me for vacation, other engagements, or this year...bryces outing! But I dont mind it!! It was such a great time!!



SO embarassed.




making fun of me!



The day of the outing was fun. Zach, Stephanie and myself rode around in a golf cart all day and had a blast running errands for everyone and all that jazz! =] Here are some pictures!! I will post a link of all the pictures on my webshots!!

Crazy!

So I haven't updated this as much as I wanted to. But things have been a little crazy. Mom, Dad, the girls, and Uncle Shorty and Nancy basically went straight from the Golf Outing to Marthas Vineyard for Vacation. They left me to work a million hours at the we*b (as we like to call it) and take care of their house.....their house consists of..Bruizer, the most needy dog on the planet, the midget kitten (with no tail), who has to eat canned food 3 times a day, and would eat more if you let him, the turtle, the Lizard, and the other 2 cats. The 2 big cats, no big deal. But the turtle and the lizard have to have their lights turned on and off at certain times, fed at certain times, blahblahblah....it is all driving me nuts! And don't forget about the mail, the 2 newspapers, everyday...watering the plants, cleaning out the kitty liter, and making sure the house doesn't burn down.They get back tomorrow night and I cannot wait! Bruzier came over to stay with Me, Zach and Lilly every night. He was easily annoyed with Lilly, but he got over it! Also this week I had a girl call off work b/c of a death in her family so I had to scurry to figure out those shifts, and I had to drive downtown to IUPUI twice, b/c the first time I went they screwed stuff up and I couldn't get what I need to get done. SO needless to say its been insane! I have an entire new appreciation for my parents and the crap they do at their house!! Taking care of 2 houses has been a little hectic. I can't wait to return to normal. Zach said to me "Well, now do you still want 5 kids?" I told him..."Yes, why wouldn't I? I don't have to go home just so the kid can poop, like I do with the Dog..." So I'm learning all types of fun new roles of responsibility!
On Friday night, Z knew that I was tired and stressed so he took me out for dinner at our friend Brians Restaurant called Pamfilios, I had never been there. Steph works there, so she was our server! It is an Italian restaurant...my favorite. It was so nice..we drove around and checked out the HUGE houses in Carmel (The Village of West Clay). It was a nice time. When we left there we went to my parents house to get Bruizer and discovered that he had torn up a large piece of carpet, and a huge box of eight, 1000 piece puzzles from underneath Morgans bed. I didn't have my camera with me, otherwise I would have taken pictures. I was sooooooo mad. If you can only imagine...I was not a happy camper. I immediately called my parents and sisters, and they thought it was funny. NOT SO MUCH!
So as you can see, I am more than ready for my family to be back and take back over their crazy ZOO of a house! And I am ready to return to mine! My house is not clean, and have more laundry than I know what to do with! And Lilly misses me! I'm sure of it. haha.

I will be back asap with pictures from the , my birthday, Jaymies Wedding ANd the Golf Outing Dinner, and the Actual Golf Outing!! Which was a HUGE success, and SO much fun!!
I'll be writing soon!!
