IT'S BACK!


Ok, you Office fans, I want to know what you thought of last night's episode. My cynical husband thinks that Pam and Jim aren't going to make it. He thinks that Pam will start liking someone in NY. I have faith in Pam and Jim. Do you think Andy and Angela are going to go through with the wedding, or will Angela get back together with Dwight? What about Michael and the new H.R. lady, Holly? Let me know your predictions for what lies ahead this season.
Also, who else can't stand Ryan?
Confession: I have dreams about characters from the Office and in my dreams they are my B.F.F. Is that a cry for help?

Murder Mystery Party


Eric and I were house sitting for the family I work for and since their home is humongous we decided to take advantage of the space and host a Murder Mystery Dinner Party. We shopped at the D.I. to find the right attire for our character, which was lots of fun. You can find so many "interesting" pieces at the D.I. Since I can't sew I asked one of my Laurels in Young Women's if she could help me out and make the pants I got into peddle pushers. (Capri's) She did an awesome job. If I couldn't get her to help me I was going to cut them myself
and use staples to hem them.
We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and had ice cream sundaes. It was fun to see everyone get in the spirit of the game and become their character. You get to interrogate everyone while making accusations and call people names. It was great!!! I would have to say that it was a successful party and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.

Of course I forgot my camera so I'd like to thank Jami and Dallas for bringing theirs so I could have pictures to post on my blog. It was set in the year 1959 and Tom (the man that is murdered) is having us all over for a B.B.Q. A sudden rainstorm hits and we all run inside. When the storm subsides we go outside to find that Tom has been MURDERED and one of us did it! Duh duh duhhhhhh.....



Our characters were,

Johnny Angel: A mechanic who can fix anything on wheels.
Barby Q: the dazzling "blond" divorcee. Come to find out she is a big hussy. Apparently I must do a good job at playing a hussy because the last time we participated in a murder mystery party my character was a hoochie. So I got into character as I posed with Johnny Angel.






Cameron and Bethany
Also know as

Chubby Cheddar:
A rock 'n' roll musician who's finally made it big.
Bobby Sox:
National Hula Hoop champion in 1958 and also is Tom's sweet little sister. ( Or is she?)
The picture to the right Cameron is rockin' out to his air guitar and Bethany is Hula Hooping with an imaginary Hula Hoop.



Dallas and Jami
Also known as
Ivan Spudnik:
A Russian rocket scientist who recently defected to America. He is also a drunk.
Tiara Diamond:
Tom's fiancee and Newly crowned Miss Kansas City.
Don't worry folks, Dallas is drinking IBC Rootbeer.



If anyone wants to borrow our game let me know.
You can only play it once so it's just sitting in our closet.

Show Low Triathlon

Well, this post is long overdue... We went to Show Low a couple weeks ago with our really good friends, the Comefords. Eric and Cameron competed in a sprint triathlon. They rocked that race! They started out swimming 625 meters, then biked 13 miles, and ran 3 miles. Eric finished the race in 1 hr. and 27 min.! He has only done Olympic triathlons so he really enjoyed doing the sprint. I was so proud of him! Bethany and I were the devoted cheerleaders. We are probably the best cheerleaders ever. :) Yeah, I missed Eric getting out of the pool (apparently he was the 2nd one out) and when he transitioned from the biking to the running. I was talking a little too much and wasn't paying attention. Oops!

This is Eric and Cameron before the race. Sorry ladies, I didn't get any pictures of them without their shirts on wearing their skin tight swim shorts. Bummer!


Bethany and I taking a time out from doing all of our cheers and cartwheels.

Who rocks the jukebox? They don't even look tired!
What a stud!

Taking time to pose with my sweaty man!
