Two Little Stories

Let me tell you two little stories....

Story number 1. Two weekends ago Danny, Fetch and I went on a jeep ride with mom and dad Green, Arnie & Nancy, Joe & Tosha, and Buddy. We started just outside of St. George by the gorge, and went on an adventure (we had no map just memories) through and over the mountains. Our adventure finally ended up just where we wanted right in the back side of Mesquite, the Arizona side. We didn’t see any wild life but man it is gorgeous back there. It was so green and beautiful you would never have guessed that Mesquite was on the other side of the mountains. So when we started our journey, just before we got on the dirt roads I asked Danny to get my camera, come to find out, I had left the battery charging at home. So, no camera to take all the pretty pictures. But we did have loads of fun and can’t wait until the next jeep trip.

Story number 2. This last weekend Danny and I were very grateful for my sister in law and niece who were visiting Vegas for a wedding and had Friday night open to hang out with us. We had dinner and went and saw Role Model. Language was pretty bad but it was very funny. So thank you for hanging out with us we did have lots of fun. Then on Saturday we got up at 5am and headed to Danny’s Uncle Lynn and Aunt Pat’s ranch in Arizona. It was between Kingman and Flagstaff. We got up there and helped paint the house and Danny and Joey re-roofed the shed. The chores they needed help on only took us about 3 hours so we had the rest of the day to go hiking, shooting and the fun stuff us Greens do. So we are all together, mom, dad, Tyson, Joey (Nicole had to work), Danny, Fetch, Lynn, Pat and I. Having a great time. So I go to the car to get my camera and this time I brought my different lenses and filters to take some nature pictures. I made sure that I had my battery before we left home, but when I went to take a picture, there was no memory card. Yep I now had forgotten the memory card. Two weekends in a row, I remember the camera but not its parts. So I am sorry for not having pictures, they may have not been that great but at least it would have been more than just words.

As for this weekend, I will definitely be ready if any pictures need to be taken. I have plans to go see, oh you’ll never guess, ok TWILIGHT!!! On Saturday with my mom, aunts and cousins. Very excited to see it but I am also just as excited to be with the family because they are silly and crazy. So for those of you who will be seeing it on Friday keep the reviews a bare minimum. Or I will just view your blogs after I see it.

Long I know but that’s all I got.

The Halloween Party

Sorry it took me awhile to post but been busy. Well for those of you who came, THANK YOU, and hope you had fun and for those who didn't here is a recap of what happened. With, of course, pictures. We made alot of food and alot ate, but we still had alot left over. We played bobbing for apples but on a string, very entertaining to watch. Then we did our murder mystery. Danny told the story and gave clues but everyone was making it even more difficult to figure out who was the murderer, but it was very fun especially when we told who was who in the story they had to start acting like that character. We couldn't ask for a better night, either especially when the next night it was raining.

FALL WOOHOO!!

Fall is finally here. I woke up this morning to the smell of rain, over cast, cool breeze, and a bit of chill. It was beautiful. Oh and I LOVE Halloween!!! I am infatuated with it. It isn't quite better than Christmas but it is up there. I can't exactly express how much I love this time of year, and HALLOWEEN. I am actually throwing my first real Halloween party this year and everyone is invited if they are interested. Danny and I are hosting it at his parents house in Logandale. Costumes are required and it is a Murder Mystery, so whoever solves the case wins a big prize. Plus prizes for your costumes too.

These past few weekends Danny and I have had the chance to finally go to the lake this year so I have some pics. And I am getting a lot better on the Wakeboard, and can actually jump and land it, well I think I jump. It may be only 6 inches off the water but I am off the water. Last weekend Danny, Joey and I went and I did some jumping on the wakeboard, and didn't quite land it just right and sort of touched my heels with my head, so a back bend. My body isn't ment to bend that far. I pulled a muscle in abdomen, so sitting up or moving stomach really hurt for about a week.


Me getting a wee bit of air.


Doug's jumping.


What the lake "shouldn't" look like. Bad water


What the lake "should" look like. Good water

Labor Day Weekend

I wasn't going to post what we did, but then I have been bored so I decided to do it. We met with my parents and my brother's family up at Illipah Resevior about 45 mins from Ely, NV. We had a blast. But the weather was a little rough. Windy, rain, thunder and lightening. But as long as it wasn't 100 degrees. We went to a few old mining towns/ghost towns in the mountains, and went swimming at Duck Water, a hot spring. Ate some great food. I swear camping food tastes amazing. Then on our way home, Danny went repelling down a cave. My parents stopped by to keep me company. I had to babysitt Fetch because would want to go down too. But next time we are up in that area I want to go explore the cave too. Here our a few pictures of our weekend. And my youngest niece loves to get her picture taken, she poses and some times pouts. She is one crazy knucklehead.

4th of July, Taylor Family

I LOVE FAMILY

On dad and mom's land. Everyone except Deb, Matt, and Shane

I know I am behind but have been busy lately, ok not really but lazy. For the 4th of July Danny and I went to Sprink Creek, NV where my brother Dusty lives. It was definetly cooler but still a bit warm. My parents just bought some land just outside of Wells, NV where they intend to build a log home and live some day. That is where most of the outdoor pictures were taken, and they have such an amazing view. We laid around, played croquet, swam, watched fire works and went hot springing. All but three of the family was there with the addition of a great family friend and his family.

Ok the last of the pics

Sorry it took me this long to post all the pics but been busy. Danny and I just redid our guest bedroom with wood floors, new decor and a bigger bed. These last pictures of us crazy Greens on this wild adventure.

Danny being a Cabbage Patch Kid in Canada

Me getting on our plane from Seatlle to Vancouver, CA. Never boarded a plane like this before. It was so EXCITING and cold.

All of us at Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau AK.

Every evening we would have a cute animal made of towels on our bed. This one is an elephant just in case you couldn't tell.

This is a Love Labyrinth at St. Theresa's Shrine, Juneau.

Guess what, I have more!!!!

These photos are the great views. You never realize how enormous your surroundings are since you are already on a huge ship so in one of the pictures it has another cruise ship in it and it show how huge everything was.

Glacier in the far back with ice all over the ocean.

This is a trunk of a tree in Canada.

One of the many beautiful waterfalls that we saw this one was very loud due to its massive size.

More amazing scenery

There is a cruise ship at the bottom, just to show how large the mountains are.

Part of the glacier falling in Glacier Bay.

Alaska Pics

We saw many different types of wildlife so here is a glipse of what we saw.

Mtn. Sheep up the White Pass in Skagway, AK

If you can see, there are 2 others in the water.

These suckers were everywhere. It was like WOW! when we first saw them but then it became "oh look another one, woohoo (sarcasticly)"

If you can see, the ones on ice berg are sea lions and the ones on the right in water are sea otters. The otters were so cute, a friend got great pictures of them so when I get a copy I will post.

A Big Fish (ok a whale)

More big fishes, There are 3 in the picture

Fat sea Lions surrounded by ice and on ice

The two bears that were on the railroad tracks in Skagway, AK.

Did you know raccoons can swim? This one can. But I was too slow with the camera.

We're Back

Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau AK

Well for those of you who may not of known, we went on a cruise in Alaska, the inside passage for 8 days. We had the pleasure of going with the Greens; dad, mom, Tyson, Joey and Nicole. It was the best time ever. Everything was huge and beautiful. It is sad and sort of depressing to be back to reality. It all just feels like a dream now. But an amazing dream. We had so much fun with family. I love them all so much and love spending so much time with them.

So brace yourself. The next few posts that I will be posting will be just about Alaska. We took over 1000 pictures but probably only kept 600. Don't worry you won't have to see all 600, only the few that I really love.

Miss Elizabeth Bennet

Take the Quiz here!

Clarissa and Deborah you have to take this quiz. I don't know how I ended up to be Lizzy.. Some of the answers for the questions were weird. Some of them I didn't agree with the answers or I agreed with more than one. So take and let me know who you are. Or anyone else who wants to take it. I was just hoping I wasn't Lidia or Mary. I would have preferred Jane, but she is too romantic for me.

Our Weekend

We went camping with Joey and Nicole this past weekend up by Gunlock, UT. The boys fished and us girls worked on our tans. But there was no luck in catching any fish. We made awesome dutch oven fajitas, and roasted marshmallows. Our camp sight was right next to the stream and we shared it with a few froggies. Unfortunately, we decided not to bring Fetch along, and we were glad we didn't because he would have been one wet, messy, stinky dog.
