Yesterday Chad’s dad, Big-D needed some help with his house, so Chad asked me to go. I agreed thinking that maybe we’d move some furniture, or paint or just help move crap, I quickly found out none of that was true.

On the way over to Big-D’s house, Chad and I got caught in hail. That royally sucked because we were on our scooters going 40. It was cold, and the little pieces of hail stung the face and arms. Once we were at Chad’s Dad’s, we got in a car and went over to Chad’s, Step-sisters home where we found pallets and pallets of sod just waiting for us to move it. I’m wearing good clothes and flip flops. This was the first time I’d ever laid sod so it was quite the experience. I’m beat up today, and very sore. Thank you Dave for that little experience….

Last Thursday I had my High School graduation at the Marriot Center. Its as boring as everyone says it would be except when we were walking down to get our diploma. That was pretty cool. After it all I visited with a bunch of friends and took some pictures. Here are a couple but there will be family pictures up when I get them. My family, Chad, Terry, Camille, Karbear, Corndog, Candice & Stephanie all showed up to see me walk. UNFORTUNATELY, Big M couldn’t make it. When all the graduates walked out Camille and her parents were waiting for me with a hug and a cool necklace thing made out of candy and money. I loved it! Then her parents got me a pretty cool card & even more money because they are awesome! Unfortunately they didn’t come with my family to Maglebee’s after I returned my gown, Chad tagged along with our family however. I got myself a huge piece of their famous chocolate cake.

I loved it all, It was fun! Thank you everyone!

Earlier this week, we all got mopeds! From the left it goes my silver one, Regen’s, Haylee’s, then Chad’s. We got them for a steal too which is good. A place in American Fork called Less Stress Powersports, is selling them for under $1200 total. Title, license, everything is included in that price. There is also red and blue available but none of us went with those colors. It really needs to warm up because the last few days that we’ve been crusin’ around on these things have been cold! The weather doesn’t stop us though. The other day we went wandering over to Cabela’s and got some beef jerky. Yesterday we went all the way out to Saratoga Springs, then to Provo mall. It was a long, cold, wet ride. We got rained on but pulled over to a church till it stopped. Today Haylee, Regen and I went to our graduation practice at the Merriot Center at BYU. It felt good because it started to get warm today but then it got cold, again. This summer is going to rock with these things. I probably fill up twice a week, and it costs $4 to fill up the tank. These things get 80 MPG and can go about 60 MPH, just quick enough for state.

I’ve come to find out that people mock mopeds, yet when they drive them, they love them. Funny how that works.

Yesterday was Regen’s birthday! He’s now 19. I gotcha somethin’ tasty big guy…

The other day, Chad, Bree, Haylee and I were trying to figure out how I should answer Elishia back to the upcoming Morp dance this Saturday. I called Haylee and Bree and Bree had the good idea of getting a fishing pole, attaching a note at the end and having it say “you reeled me in, of course I’ll go to Morp with you”. That is a very good idea and I used it but added a little extra “fun” to it. I got the idea to put a hook at the end and attach an actual fish to it. A catfish to be exact. We went to the Tenitichion Market (or however you spell it, I don’t even know how to pronounce it) and got a real catfish. It was dead don’t worry. When we got back to Chad’s we laid it out and discovered that it had already been gutted and had its stomach taken out. Still this was a good idea so I put a little note saying “yes” and buried it inside part of the fish that hasn’t been touched. I wish I had pictures so you all could understand how gross this was. Anyways, we set it up at her house, rang the doorbell and she had fun finding the note inside of this dead catfish. Its probably one of the best answer back ideas we’ve ever come up with.

Oh, and I gave her gloves, I’m not THAT mean.

I hope my mother Susie had a good Mothers Day!

Also, I hope Terri, Karen, Monica, Ma’, Mirta and Marcee had a wonderful mothers day as well!

And I guess if either Katie or Lindsay is prego, Happy Mothers day, NEXT YEAR!

Morp is coming up. Its a girls choice dance this Saturday, May 17th. Elishia asked me tonight with Haylee’s help and it was awesome! I was at Riley’s home when she called and asked if I wanted to go eat at Wendy’s. I said of course and Chad, Riley and I went to meet them. Elishia and Haylee had been planning this all day and with their little brothers help, stuck a note under my windshield wiper. As I’m about to pull away I notice what I thought was a flyer, so I get out, pick it up, and notice that I’m supposed to call Regen and pick him up. Regen wasn’t able to be picked up because he was eating so I went along with it anyways. It was a scavenger hunt saying to go to Cold Stone to find my next clue. When I get there, I’m a little confused on what to do, then I find out that the employees have the paper. Now it’s telling me to go to Gold’s Gym. When I arrived there, they gave me a paper saying to meet at Jack and Jill’s Bowling Ally. Once I pick up that clue its telling me to go up to the parking lot in the foothills. Once there, I have one final clue telling me to go to Haylee’s house which is about a quarter mile away. I pulled up to her house and noticed a pool full of fish in it, with a sign beside it saying “Of All The Fish In The Sea, Would You Go With Me?”. I liked it, it was a good way of asking me to Morp. Now I’m trying to find a way of answering Elishia back….

Any suggestions people?

Today, for Chad and Haylees birthday, we went to Boondocks. Chad, Bree, Haylee, Regen, Taylor (Bree & Haylee’s little brother), Elishia and I went and had an awesome time with our unlimited passes. When we all got there we took advantage of the go-carts because there was nobody in line to wait for, and it is fun to make each other spin out by tapping the back corner like your in COPS. Haylee was a little bit more kind considering she didn’t full on ram us with her cart like she did during the day date at Prom. We did that about 3 or 4 times then got sick of it and when over to the bumper boats, that also have water guns attached to them. We all got soaked and it was hilarious watching everyone gang up on either Haylee or Regen. They’re just so easy to pick on! Afterward we played some laser tag, boys verse girls. Girls thought they had a chance because they had Taylor as an extra person, but they guys beat them by over 12,000 points. It was a good ol’ fashioned butt whoopin’. We played some miniature golf too but after the 9th hole it got pretty lame. I bought a bunch of tokens so Elishia and I had to go win some tickets. We got about 160 tickets and got a big bouncy ball, smarties, and some Now And Laters.

All the excitement made Regen hungry (and the rest of us) so we left, got back on the freeway, and went up to Texas Roadhouse. They have some amazing rolls.

At the end of that it was about 9:30 so we left and went home. The end. It was an awesome day :)

Chad and Haylee’s birthday are both today! We’re going to Boondocks after I get off work.

Prom last night was a blast. For the day date we went up to Salt Lake to go Go-Cart racing. They were so much fun and I ended up getting nailed by freaking Haylee because she doesn’t understand what brakes are used for. Then we went up to the SkyBox Grille and ate some lunch and watched some TV in their party room. After that we drove back home so that the girls could get ready and I could swap my tie color to yellow. We were supposed to be at Chef’s Table at 7:30 but Regen made us late (as usual). Only by like ten minutes so it wasn’t too big of deal. It was so good I got the fillet. Once we left we headed to Provo to go to Prom and it was at Seven Peaks Ice Arena. Ghetto I know but what can ya do. Its not like we go to Lone Peak or anything and have our Prom on the top of a building. Prom there was fun, I actually ran into my old buddy Ryan Reid and we talked. I have a lot of pictures so check them out. I went with Tayten King, and it was so much fun. Her and I in Jr. High always said how we wanted to go to Prom together, ironically it worked out.
