Oh World Wide Walrus, What a Marvelous Thing You Are

So I've been really, really lazy with my blog post lately. In my defense I have been quite busy too, but mostly lazy. I actually started reading again and so I've forgotten how wonderful the internet is. Then I had Thanksgiving with the Scott family (Thanks again fro that I had a blast the food was fantastic!!!) and I was reminded of several crazy websites that are so much fun and that I needed to share.


By the way, the world wide walrus comes from Glenn Beck's Moron Trivia where he asked a convienience store worker what WWW stood for and he couldn't come up with the last W, and so Glenn Beck told him it was walrus, and the guy said, "oh yes, that's it."
Anyway, website #1!
Click here for the Gallery of Misused Quotes. grammar people, grammar. It's not your Grandma it's your grammar. "You're in" Bear Country .

Website #2
I really don't know where this came from but click here to see more pictures like these.















Website #3
You thought waking up the king was creepy, try the subserviant chicken!

Website #4
Ok this is not the funniest website in the world, but it's super cool because it has almost every sports logo ever. Including this one that would have been the Nordiques new logo if they hadn't become the Avalanche in '95.


Thanks for checking back this week. I promise I will get a post about the World Series even though I'm sure no one cares about it anymore, but I still do and I got some great pictures.

Be Cool, Stay in School Kali

So tonight is the night of posts, which is because I've been a little behind. I'm also sure you are all dying to know what I have to say about the Rockies. I have to finish getting all my pictures uploaded, but hopefully I'll have something posted this weekend. I've also changed my colors back, but that's mainly cause I miss them, not because I'm disappointed about the Rockies.

Now to the point of my blog. Kali I know you hate school, as stated in this blog post, however, I was sitting at boring work today, angry at the stupid people who don't know how to read, and I just was thinking of all the reasons why school is awesome.

Here are the top 5:

5. You get to sleep in. I miss sleeping in more than anything. Since I've left school I can't even sleep in on the weekends. I have to wake up early, and it's horrible. Also you may miss the Office, but you can watch the Price is Right!

4. You get Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off for Thanksgiving, and 2 weeks off for Christmas. I can't be home again this year for Thanksgiving because we're on the same schedule as the stock market and the day after is not a holiday. Maybe I should become a teacher.

3. You can wear comfortable clothes. Now I know you are always looking fabulous, but if you want to just wear a t-shirt and jeans one day, you can!

2. Mom and Dad are more willing to pay for things!! I guess this is also a benefit of being single, but I think that mainly comes from mom feeling sorry for me, and she thinks if she buys me clothes it will help me get a man. So the school thing is a much better excuse.

1. Making fun of the stupid people, unfashionable, or old people, in class is a lot more fun than having to deal with the these kinds of people who effect your work and waste your time. Vanessa and I also made fun of the smart kids. Maybe it was because we were mad because they killed the curve for us, but I'm pretty sure it was mainly because they kept asking stupid questions that kept us in class way longer than necessary.

Hang in there Kali! Enjoy it while you can, and just realize it will be over sooner than you think! Also, if they ever have take your sister to work day you can come, and you can see school is way better than what I do every day. Ok, so maybe that is a reason not to go to school, cause I'm not sure it really benefited me too much, but maybe someday. I promise this job is only temporary.

Da Da Deeeee Da Dab a Boo Hoo Hoo

Well yesterday I got to work and checked MSN like I normally do and I saw some very sad news.
Robert Goulet died. I know many of you only know him from the Will Ferrell skit, but there was far more to him than that. Well, I really only know the bits and pieces from the story I read, but by far the best commercial from the super bowl this year was the Emerald Nuts commercial.

Here are some videos to be a tribute to the man, the legend, Robert Goulet.

Rocky Mountain Magic

Move over '69 Mets. All you had was a miracle. Miracles happen everyday. The Impossible? That only happens once in a lifetime.

For Rockies fans, October 2007 is that once in a lifetime. It's not that the Rockies made it to the World Series, it was bound to happen sooner or later (more likely much later). It's not even that they did it in a way that no team in sports ever has before. If the Yankees or another team with a billion dollar payroll had achieved it, it would have been spectacular, but not the same.

No, it's something different about this team. It's what makes something impossible.

A team of relative unknowns.
A team where not finishing last was exceeding expectations
A team who was told they had to not only win nearly every single game to make the playoffs, but had to count on other teams losing to even force just one more game to get the final win they needed.

It's what makes everyone who sat in Mile High Stadium that first year stop and make sure they're still awake, because they can't believe the Major League dreams they had for their home team are on the verge of becoming a reality after nearly 15 years

It doesn't even matter if the Rockies win the whole thing or not. There's a feeling in Denver that hasn't been felt since Ray Borque lifted the Stanley Cup in 2001. It's something very familiar that was felt in all those AFC championships in the 80's and those 2 special years in the 90's.

It's almost as if it went away for good on September, 10th 2001 as the Broncos christened a new stadium that would soon be known only as Invesco.

It's that special something that wasn't even recognized until John Elway appeared in the stands of Coors Field for game 4 of the NLCS. It's the same power that was behind the Drive. The same power that gave wind to the most miraculous Stanley Cup chases of all time. The power that gave Denver it's most coveted prizes as a city, OUR two Super Bowl Championships.

Mile High Magic.

It's back, and it's taken the form of a team a city had forgotten. In a season when football usually is the only thing that matters. In a time where the Denver sports fans had been heartbroken by a string of disappointing endings for the teams they had such high hopes for. The time when it was needed it the most.

This is why even those who don't know the difference between a strike and a ball are getting excited about this team. It's because they know the feeling so well and want to cling to it.

That magic is no longer confined to the original Mile High, it's transcended to become the Rocky Mountain Magic. It took a team so young, so humble, and so determined to bring it back. The only kind of team that can accomplish the impossible.

There are only a handful of players on the other Denver teams current rosters that have experienced this first hand. Joe Sakic, Tom Nalen, and Jason Elam are really all that come to mind. For the new players that don't fully understand the magic of the city they play in, soak in the special experience that is Rockies playoff baseball.

Few things seem more improbable than the Rockies in the World Series seemed until the final out of the 9th inning skipped passed Jamey Carrol and was scooped up into Tulowitzki's glove.

Because of this run it's no longer far fetched that the Nuggets could actually beat the Spurs in a playoff series with Tim Duncan on the squad.

Putting trust in a young Czech goaltender to get you back to a Stanley Cup, while the 6 Million Dollar Doorman sits on the bench willing only his hair to grow "Better...Stronger...Faster," doesn't seem so scary.

Even a 2-3 Broncos team missing the keystone of their offensive line, dealing with running back issues for the first time since Mike Shanahan took over, and has no rushing defense to speak of could make it to the Super Bowl.

By now the stats are well known, 21-22, 7-7, 3 runs in the bottom of the 11th; these are the stats that will be included in the new story told to prove to kids that anything is possible. It will be told of how all of Coors field held their collective breath, not really daring to believe it was true until Todd Helton finally took his foot off of first base only after he looked at the umpire to be absolutely sure that it really was the third out, the final out.

There's not a better cast of characters for this story, and there isn't another story written that could have brought back this Rocky Mountain Magic in the same way these boys did. It is why October 2007 will forever be known as...

ROCKTOBER!

SWEEP!!! SWEEP!!! SWEEEP!!!!

I know it's late, but I wanted to record my thoughts as I'm watching one of the biggest games in the most unbelievable run in sports history!!!

  • Tony Gwyn is Sooo fat!
  • Jordan is making me play NHL Hitz with him in between innings. Probably because he doesn't want to do his homework. I love Hitz and "Big Save by RA-WAH" (For Roy).
  • LaTroy Hawkins just pushed a guy out and jordan told me about the Alex Rodriguez Purse slap. I need to find that video.
  • Troy Tulowitski is so good.
  • I'm so numb I can't believe that this is even happening.
  • The Diamondbacks are not that good. Everyone needs to stop talking them up trying to make their fans feel better. They got out worked, look at the stats.
  • The Rockies fans are so much better than Arizona they've been cheering "Go" "Rockies" For like 4 innings. I love Denver.
  • More Hitz.
  • I hope the Red Sox win so that people will actually watch the World Series. Plus that would be the best to beat their smug east coast bias fans.
  • We're now playing "Who wore it best" with the girl wearing the same cheerleader outfit that Laney has. Laney wins. Hands down.
  • "The Rockies are 6 outs from the World Series" How weird does that sound?
  • Just saw John Elway. You got to love that he's as big a fan of Denver sports as every one else in the city.
  • Again Hitz. 2-0 Jordan. Boo.
  • OOOH. Goalie Fight. ROY takes down Belfour!!! Maybe I can score now.
  • 1st Arizona hit since the 4th inning. They are that bad. Why is everyone booing?
  • I've never wished I was in Denver more than I have in the past 2 weeks, and I was even there for a weekend. Downtown will be so fun. Knock on wood.
  • Tony Gwyn. Still fat.
  • Pop up...Tulowitzki is responsible for about 100 outs in this series.
  • Rockies are 5 outs from the World Series. Yep, still weird.
  • I really hope they bullpen doesn't let up any runs for the rest of the game cause they have only let in like one in the past month.
  • Stupid East Coast making our game start so late. I'm getting tired, but I'm too excited to sleep.
  • What a strike out!!!! 4 MORE OUTS!!!!
  • Uh oh. Darn Fuentes. ARGGGHH.
  • By the way, this won't be posted if they lose.
  • We HAVE to get out of this inning. Baby Step to One Out!! Baby Step to One Out!!!
  • I'm glad the crowd is getting back into it. I can't breathe right now.
  • I can't handle this, I need some Kool-Aid.
  • Ok, the Levi's commercial is a little racy.
  • Hooray. Corpas is off. Hopefully he can finish us off.
  • By the way, the Diamondbacks scored as many runs this inning as they have all series.
  • YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! K!!!!
  • 3 Outs AWAY!!! Seriously, who would have guessed?!?!
  • Ok, they need to put this away. I can't take another extra innings game. No, literally I need to go to bed. I'm SOOO sleepy.
  • HAHAHA, I'm just watching the highlight of when Holliday hit that homerun and Byrnes ran into the wall. Great stuff.
  • I love the chant for Tulo, and the fans say it with such gusto. It gives me chills.
  • How did it get to be 11:30?
  • Here we go. We're all to nervous to finish the Hitz game. Oh well, maybe it's better that way. For me anyway.
  • The Rockies better win now. I just had to endure Jordan singing the Viva Viagra song. So if they lose then this may be the worst night ever.
  • I sure love the Office. What a great show.
  • Back to baseball. 6-4 Rockies with Corpas on the mound.
  • 2 OUTS AWAY!!! And Jordan is again singing the Viva Viagra song to celebrate.
  • ok, I'm stopping typing and I'm going to focus on breathing.
  • Two broken bats in a row!! Ahhggg.
  • I can't watch. I've turned into my grandma.
  • OHHH MY GOSH!!!! 1 OUT!!!!! THAT WAS A HUGE OUT!!!!
  • NOW FOR THE WEIRDEST STATEMENT OF ALL...
THE ROCKIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!
SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP!
How fitting that it was Byrnes that got the final out.
That's not luck!!!

GOOD, no, GREAT NIGHT!!!

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH!!!


Greetings from 5,280 feet!!!! And yes, my blog is purple. (For those of you keeping track at home my blog has been pink and purple all within a few months. )

Well, again we have a special occasion! The Colorado Rockies have won a post season series in decisive fashion. This is the first time I have ever seen Denver more excited about the Rockies than the Broncos, but it is well deserved!

I had the amazing fortune of being able to be at Coors Field for game 3 of the NLDS game, and it has to be one of my top 10 if not top 5 sports moments in the greatest sports town in America, (according to me and Carmelo Anthony), and now 4 out of the 5 include partying in the street with complete strangers downtown in the middle of the night. I LOVE DENVER!!!

It has been nearly 15 years since I've really enjoyed baseball this much, and this may have been my pivot point for being a fan of America's Pastime again. You could feel the collective anticipation of each pitch just as much as you could feel the wind coming of the much taller Rockies to the west. The pitching, hitting, fielding, and strategy was as good as baseball gets for this game, but since there were a few people in my group that weren't there for the baseball (I'm not going to sporting events with my mom, I mean these unnamed people, ever again,) I've decided to rank my top ten moments of the night that aren't really related to baseball.

By the way, looking at this picture it's clear my dad was there for the baseball even though he was a little cold. It's almost as if he was going for the Steve Bartman look who is #1 on my list for the people I feel bad for.

Here are my top ten moments of the night.

#10 David, Max, and my dad getting free soft drinks for signing up to be designated drivers. We took the light rail down there.

#9 The sign for Troy Tulowitski that said "Tulo - Git - 2 - Quit - Ski"

#8 The blackout. They say computer malfunction, I say it was because nobody, not even the power company, expected the Rockies to be playing in October.

#7 During the blackout my mom said, "You don't think it's terrorists do you?"

#6 My mom couldn't believe that cotton candy was being sold in buckets and she thinks it's only supposed to be on a stick, and then my uncle shouted, "The Terrorists Have Won!"

(For as much as my mom complained about baseball, she certainly provided some entertaining moments)

#5 The first pitch was thrown out by the two sons of Mike Coolbaugh, the first-base coach of the Rockies' Double-A affiliate,who was killed by a line drive earlier this year. The Rockies are also giving his family a full playoff share. Here's the story.

#4 Giving high fives to everyone along Blake Street in low-do, and enjoying the moment with my favorite city.

#3 Shouting, "Sweep, Sweep, Sweep!" to one of the guys mopping up in one of the concession stands, and him shouting it back, but I'm not sure he caught the irony.

#2 Seeing Mayor John Hickenlooper and Former Governor Bill Owens cheering with everyone in the street, and then watching as someone picked up Governor Owens in a big bear hug, and lifted him up of the ground and shook him several times. (Only in Denver!)

and the #1 non-baseball moment of the night is....

#1 ROCKIES WIN!!!!! I know it's technically a baseball moment, but my mom loved that part and she thinks baseball is boring.


I still can't believe it, but it's real and now we're only 4 wins away from the World Series!!!

GO ROCKIES!!!!

Thank You For Being a Friend!


Do you ever have those moments where you are profoundly grateful for your friends? Well, I had one of those moments on Friday night at the Nickelcade.

Jordan and I were playing the best game ever!!!! It's a form of dance, dance, revolution but you move your hands over the sensors it has. (I would include a picture of it , but I spent over an hour looking for it on the internet, and now I'm done with it.) Anyway, the two of us were really getting into it, pulling dance moves and shakin' our money makers. After we finished some of the closest games in DDR history, I turned around to face Kali and she had this look on her face that seemed to say, "I have to be adopted." Then I turned to Victoria and her face echoed her brother's sentiments when he said, "Victoria, this is what you are marrying into."

As I left that night with sweat dripping down my face, I thought, "It is a miracle that I have friends." So thank you to all who have stuck with me through my lack of posting, my intramural games or any game for that matter, sporting events where I dress like I should have Stacy and Clinton raid my closet, stake dances, and especially for those who experienced girls camp with me.

I know I'm an embarrassment to some, to Kali at the very least, but I hope you all have enjoyed my company because you could be friends with boring people like this, this, this, this, this, or this.

Instead you get to be friends with this.

and most of all you get to be friends with this:



So actually you should all feel blessed that you know me after these fine moments in my life.

So if any of you are in town come I may let you come to the nickelcade with me and enjoy the experience that is being my friend.

And yes Victoria, this is what you are marrying into.
~CONGRATULATIONS~

Rockies, Welcome to October!!!!

The Rockies have had an amazing run for the playoffs this month, and I just want to say win or lose tonight, I'm proud to have them as a home town team (even if their mascot is Dinger and they have purple as a color. C'mon, really, purple?)

By the way, I figured the Rockies would have to be good eventually and I planned for this so I wouldn't be accused of being a bandwagon jumper. My heart belongs to the Broncos and the Avalanche which usually have a good chance of being good each year. I take their losses pretty personally, and so I don't have enough room to give the devotion to the teams that play sports I don't like as much and who are generally bad every year. Sorry, Nuggets and Rockies, but I do support you, just not as much as the other guys.

Also, as I'm writing I'm realizing that purple is a fitting color even though I hate it for sports teams. America the Beautiful was written in Colorado and it includes the words, "Purple Mountain Majesties." Although, I really don't believe that teams with purple uniforms do very well in general (Lakers aside). ARRGGH, this is quite the conundrum.

Ah forget it. GO ROCKS!!!

Don't Believe Anything You Hear About Me and Softball (or Whiffleball)

Alright this has gone on long enough. These rumors are even reaching my mother and probably everyone in the Littleton Stake. There are still people there who think I'm a nice girl.

My friends husbands like to tell stories about an certain incident from coed intramural softball ages ago. I have no idea why this keeps coming up, but I feel I need to make some clarifications on what you may or may not have heard.

1. I did not throw my shoes over the fence. (that was one I hadn't heard till this week)

2. I did not threaten the umpire

3. I NEVER SWORE if I did it was under my breath and not audible to anyone. Plus I would have been kicked out if I had.

The umpire had probably confused me for someone who had dumped him for being ugly and so he was not very nice to me the entire game. I had clearly slid in under the tag to score the game tying run towards the end of the game and he called me out. I then proceeded somewhat calmly back to our bench and then proceeded to make simple suggestions to the umpire for the rest of the game. Anyone who knows me knows I would NEVER get too worked up about an intramural game. It's just for fun. Winning doesn't matter even if the horrible calls the umpire made kept you from making it to the championship game and it would have been the first one you made it to in over 13 intramural teams.

And now you know the rest of the story.

But really,
I didn't swear. (I'm pretty sure memory loss is a side effect of anger)

Breakthrough and Conquer

I'm back!!!!! That's right my internet is afloat and hopefully you can have an update every Friday!

So I was wandering around the NBC website to see if Peter Petrelli cut his hair for the second season of Heroes and I stumbled across the greatest news I have heard in a long time.

OPEN CASTING CALLS FOR AMERICAN GLADIATORS!!!!!!!!

That's right it's coming back!! Although it won't be the same if half of the audience isn't wearing over sized "BO Knows" t-shirts or if Larry Csonka isn't commentating.

They also need to do a "where are they now" with the old gladiators, although it might be a little too depressing. I'm pretty sure half of them are cops/security guards now like every contestant that faced them, or they're personal trainers at some Gold's Gym. It's too bad it's not the Gold's Gym I go to. (Although it is Lindsey Lohan's gym of choice while in rehab).

Speaking of Gold's Gym, I think I'm going to officially start training for American Gladiators. I'll have to get working on my arm strength for the eliminator, but I'm pretty sure it's better to just to jump down on the mats at the start and then just take the 10 second penalty and then you have extra arm strength for the cargo net. I've never thought about going on this show before.

In honor of it's return American Gladiators is my new search of the month. The one with Malibu is hilarious and I really hope they bring human cannonball back. The Ellen episode they did where she went on American Gladiators is soooo weird. She's dating Nitro in it, and he cheats on her with Ice. What is that?!? I miss old TV.

Technical Difficulties

I know you all have been so disapointed that you haven't been able to read my blog, but I have had the hardest time getting my internet up and running at my new place. I will have it up soon, otherwise I'm going to go crazy, but then there will be some fantastic posts coming up. I also have a few other projects I'm trying to work on that I'll keep you posted on.

In the meantime check out a few of the blogs I have links to. I especially love Lindsey's blog, "My Favorite Sister," (she's adopted) because it's like the greatest thing I've ever seen. I'll also add another picture of my favorite niece, who I miss already, but I'm glad she gets to grow up in Colorado. Enjoy!

I'm Ready. Are You?

I'm soo excited. The NFL is starting!!! I'm so excited for the Broncos season. I found out the other day that the Broncos were playing the 49er's in a preseason game this Monday and I was reminded of how much I loved football.

As much as I love football alone, there is something that makes it far more exciting. Pick 'ems! This is where you just pick who you think is going to win each of the NFL games for the week. There is also something called confidence points that makes it a little more exciting. Each game is assigned a number between 1 and 16 depending on how many games. If are so confident that the Broncos will beat the Raiders then you give that a 16. If you get it right then you get 16 points. The games that you are more sure about you give the higher numbers to, and the ones you think could go either way you give the lower numbers to. Got it?

I hope that all makes sense, because I'm opening up my pick 'ems group to anyone who reads my blog. All you need is a yahoo account. Go to this page, and click sign up and then you'll be asked to log in. Click join an existing group, then join private group, and then enter in the group ID number, 22602, and then the password is broncos.

My team name is Myopic Sasquatch Rockette in case you would like to know who's making the amazing picks every week. Sign up today!!

Monty Fuss

Well I'm looking to score some extra cash and I started looking through all my old photos on my computer and I found a hidden talent. I'm a photographer. So if you need any senior pictures, engagement photos, or family photos, give me a call. Feel free to check out my repertoire of photos below. We even have the blue door.

Actually, if you do ever need any pictures my future sister-in-law, Victoria, is a great photographer and she is the one to call. (Do I get referral bonuses for this Victoria?) Anyway, you can check out her website and see her photos which aren't nearly as good as mine, but they show potential. Just kidding. Enjoy the photos I hope Jayme and Jordan aren't mad. By the way, Jordan looks so much like Jeremy, or verse vica, in these pictures. I love my family.

Welcome to August

Hey Everyone,
I'm so glad it's August. August 1st it started to rain for the first time since June, well except for the time it rained dirty smoke water right after I washed my car. Refreshing. Anyway, with August comes a new you tube search, and I'M SO EXCITED!!! That's Right, it's Saved By the Bell Clips!!! We'll start it off with an Oscar worthy video montage of the most famous SBTB scene of all time.




You know there really never is any time. But there is time for the poll results! It was a close race, but with 6 votes Denver wins!!! Hooray! In second place is Nauvoo with 4 votes. I guess there are a few people who want me as far away from them as possible. Funny thing though, those 2 votes for Provo (Kali and Tami) carried a lot of weight, and I'm not sure what I'm on but I've decided to stay in Provo. Well not Provo per say, but I am moving up to Family Town USA, Orem, UT. I still don't have a place to live but I'm sure that will be fine.

Don't lose heart you 6 people that voted Denver. I will return someday. Someday.

Hooray for August and don't forget to vote in this month's poll. (I'll probably think of something better in the next week and change it.) Are overpasses bridges? (Don't get all technical with me engineers) Well, KSL5 "Action" news wanted to know the state of Utah bridges and I, and several other people, couldn't think of a single bridge in the entire state. Turns out they were talking about the overpasses. I'm choosing to live here. I could cry.

How Cute is She?


No, not me sillies. Halle, how cute is Halle? Although I look pretty dang good (certainly better than the pictures Kali had up of me. Thanks for taking them off!!)

Halle was only gone for less than a week but I missed her tons and so I went up to hang out with her tonight (and see Jayme). We played and had fun, and it's clear from the pictures that she loves her aunt Kayce, of course. I had to show these off because she's so precious and I like my new shirt.

On a quick side note I laughed harder tonight than I have for a really long time. Well at least I haven't laughed that hard in a movie theater for a long time. I went and saw Hairspray. Yes, you read that correctly, Hairspray.

Has anyone realized how funny Christopher (the opposite of Christopher Reeves) Walken is? Am I the only one who knew this? I literally went to that movie because of him, and I will likely go see it again because of him. There was a stretch of about 15-20 minutes where my roommate Tami and I could not stop laughing (she was laughing more at my laugh though, it is so loud). The other thing was that the girl that played Tracy Turnblat was great and you couldn't help but smile when she was singing. I know Kali will see it for Zach EFron.

That's it for my girly post of the month, but next week you will find out what the you tube featured search for the month of August is. See you next week same bat time, same bat blog.

It's 1:30 in the morning.

Blog Tour

I wanted to make sure that everyone one was getting the most of the experience that is my blog. I've added some new elements and I want to make sure you are aware of them.


1. As you have noticed the blog is no longer pink. It was starting to hurt my eyes. It is now a more soothing blue. I love blue because it is a color in all of my favorite teams, in case you were ever wondering why I like it so much.
2. I want to find out where the people who love me most are, so I started a poll and you can pick where I live, so cast your vote and I will change my life accordingly. Although, I guess this could just be people voting to keep me away from them. Hmmm. Oh well. I guess you could add comments to this post and explain your reasons for voting.


3. I have now added all my friends and families blogs so if you get a blog let me know so I can add it (Highlighted blog of the month: Jatoria...

We now interrupt this post for some important breaking news....
My brother Jordan is getting married!!!!!! Crazy huh? You can check out their blog for details, which is the Jatoria (Jordan + Victoria = Jatoria, side note: Jordan, shouldn't it be Jotoria?) blog I'm spotlighting, but Victoria is fantastic and it will be fun to have a sister who's not a cheerleader.

Now back to your regularly scheduled blogging.

4. So they have this bar you can place on your blog that searches youtube for you. This can be found all the way down at the bottom of the page and then it will bring up a window at the top of the page. If you pull up the menu in the screen it will show small windows of other videos with that search term. (My mom stopped reading several lines ago.)

The featured search for July is starburst and berries and cream. This is hands down the funniest commercial I have ever seen, and not only is it a commercial, but it has a sequel/prequel to it called the Little Lad Dance. Which is the funniest thing I've ever seen. It made my stomach hurt so bad, and warning!!! you may even pee a drop or two when you watch. (Shout out to Bethany!) I may turn it into a permanent blog post one of these days but check it out, and get excited for next months featured search it will be a good one.

That's about it for now, but I've got some exciting posts in the works so be sure to check back regularly for more fun.

Red, White, and Corbin Bleu


Alright, I know this was a while ago, but I wanted to make a post about my fun 4th of July. It was probably the best 4th of July since Sean Hannity set me up on a date.

So a while ago I started listening to Glenn Beck. My family all makes fun of me, but I've converted a few of them and Max likes to listen to him to now. Anyway, he came out to do his show for CNN at This is the Place Park. So since Jayme hates Glenn Beck, Max and I went out to watch without her (she got to hang out with Halle who is so fantastic .)

Not only did we get to watch but we got on national TV!!! So if you happened to be watching CNN at 6 MST on the 4th of July, watched it on TIVO and slowed down the first 30 seconds of the show then you may have seen us. I'm famous!!

Well it was fun to watch, and you may have seen the picture of we got on Jayme's blog, but I have to post it on mine because it's pretty sweet!!By the way, I love Max's hat and I love that he wears it all the time!! Jayme, at least it's not the "Warning I'm Naked Under These Clothes" hat that dad picked up off the highway.

Well the day wasn't over, and I got to go see the best concert ever!!! That's right I went to Stadium of Fire!!! Oh and how excited was I that Corbin Bleu from High School Musical opened for Brooks and Dunn.

Ok so I didn't go for the musical talent, I went because Glenn Beck was hosting it. I know I'm obsessed, but he's so fantastic and hilarious. Also Fred Willard was there and I think he's so funny too. So to enjoy that and the pretty sweet fireworks, that gave me a major headache the next day, I had to sit through Corbin and Brooks and Dunn. Maybe I got the headache from them. Hmmm.

It was fun making Kali and Kennedy (My 10 year old cousin) totally jealous, because they love Corbin Bleu. I was actually surprised that I remembered some of the Brooks and Dunn songs from my country days, and I was entirely embarassed that I knew any of the words from the Corbin Bleu songs. I watch way too much Disney Channel and I don't even know why.

Although he looked unbelievably handsome in his tank top with the sparkly treble clef. OOOOOH. Well that was my fourth of July. Happy Birthday America!!! Maybe Pioneer Day will be just as good!!

Plagarized Posts!?!?!

My mom asked me the other day where I got all the writing on my blog from and whether or not I made them up myself or got them from somewhere else. I guess I should cite my sources, but they actually they have a mad libs for blogs!!! It's the best ever! Here's one about my trip to Lagoon.

An amusement park is always fun to visit on a hot summer noun . When you get there, you can rent a noun and go for a swim. And there are lots of adjective things to eat. You can start off with a hot dog on a/an noun with mustard, relish, and Noun on it. Then you can have a buttered ear of noun with a nice adjective slice of watermelon and a big bottle of cold noun. When you are full, it's time to go on the roller coaster, which should settle your noun . Other amusement park rides are the Dodge-Em which has little noun , that you drive and run into other noun ,and the Merry-Go-Round where you can sit on a big noun and try to grab the gold noun as you ride past.

Wow, that was a fun day!! Thanks Mad Libs for Blogs. That saved me 5 minutes. For anyone in Denver feel free to use it for your blog post on your trip to Elitches, or it may even work for Water World. The best thing is I don't even have to worry about my grammar. I just have to remember the difference between a noun and an adjective. I think adjective's are the ones you unpack, and the nouns are...well I can't remember that grammar rock episode. I just know it's not the train or the store one.

Maybe I should stop using these mad libs and start adding writing to my list of life skills. It could be fun, and I may have to use it sometime in the future. We'll see.

I did this at work only because, "I can't do my work!"

She's Finally Here!!!

Most of you out there are saying, "Have I gone mad? Kayce's blog is Pink?!?!" Editors note: The Blog template was a bright pink color when it was originally posted (I hope you're saying that otherwise you don't know me at all, although I wear pink a lot now.) Well, this is a special occasion, and there couldn't be anything more fitting than pink!! I've been feeling left out because all my friends were putting pictures of babies on their blogs, and now I'm glad I didn't have to go out on the internet and find random pictures of babies to put on mine.



Instead, I have pictures of my brand new niece, Halle Ann, who came into the world greeted by her proud parents Jayme and Max, and most of the loud and proud Harris family (we have to get her used to the noise early). She is so fantastic, and I'm pretty sure I have to be the favorite aunt now because Kali never wrote a blog about her. I WIN!!


She weighed in at 7 lbs, 13 oz, and she is the cutest and best baby ever. She loves her Grandma, and my mom was so sad to leave after being here for almost 2 weeks to help out the new parents. I'm pretty sure next time she comes out she will have a moving truck with her to load up my sister's stuff to take her back to Colorado, although it will have to wait till I move back to Denver, because I love going to Jayme's so I can cuddle with her.

I'll try and keep posting pictures of her because she is just so cute, and just try and tell me she's not the cutest baby. In the meantime you can see more pictures at my sister's blog, tickledpinkbaby. It's on the sidebar under links.
