So this is cutie Zander on the way to the fair. I have found that the family reunion cd I made is quite the hit especially in the younger generation. Yay for me for being a cool sister and an even awesomer aunt! ok so i decided it wouldn't be fair to post this with out some of cute marian and her dance moves...

the fair
Yesterday, Cody and I attended the Utah State Fair.
It was a blast. We went with the cutie patooty Brown family and had a wonderful time enjoying the stinky animals (yes i stepped in manure), the greasy fair food, the huge produce (Jason is sad he didn't enter in Irelynd's pumpkin which is 500lbs and the biggest one there was 250), the excitement and people. I love the fair which most likely stems back from happy days of going to the fair with the good ole frandsen family clan. I made cody dress up just like we used to because I didn't feel right going with out wearing a cowboy hat and 
my tightest pair of pants (sadly, I don't own wranglers). The funnest part was Jason paying for mindy, irelynd, drake and I to jump on the bouncy thing. It was a blast let me tell you! 
I can't believe how much work it was though. You only go for 2.5 minutes but I felt more tired then I did after my marathon. Plus, my abs are killing today. Good work out I guess. I did manage to do some quadruple back flips followed my a front flip into another backflip. Sadly, cody only got my first double back on tape so the video is of me doing just two sweet flips. I am 
going to try to post mindy and the rest too....we will see if it works....this new video attacher is awesome! Zander got to ride the mechanical bull. He kept telling me he wanted to ride the pool. I am little slow and had to wait for him to lead me by the hand and show me until I fully understood. (bull was way better then pool--i have had enough of pools if they are in fact the reason for my latest renewed friendship with my bathroom :) Anyway, I love the fair!

INSECTS!
ah...the joys of being a biologist. I find that it is not very common to see a woman of my age get very excited over a big stack of smelly scat or of a particularly hairy, fast, spider...but I DO! I am very much loving my new
entomology class and 
I am finding the world of insects to be a very
fascinating place! The best part, of
course, is the fact I managed to course my little brother into joining the class with me and he is now my side-kick and partner in crime as we capture/kill bugs for our insect collections. 
This past weekend we spent up Spanish Fork Canyon collecting. If you are wondering about the pictures...YES that is a damsel fly in my mouth. It is convenient to hold them their while preparing the glassine envelope. The guy with the authentic Tahitian crown is our professor- he's amazing!check out paul's sweet skills here:

ALMOST TO NEBO...
The tragic story of six young college students
that take on the fearsome Mount Nebo. The mountain wins as they stumble back down the trail lost,
forsaken, 
sick and scared of the upcoming lightning
storm ahead.
The ColorBlind House/Outfit
Hey Fam remember the Color Blind House that used to bug Dad...well today I was wearing the color blind outfit. Purple tanktop + orange tennis skirt + green runners= fREakINg aWeSoME!! Yeah, as a new "get-camie-into-shape" movement I am implementing the "wear-whatever-feels-good" policy...so at least I look good while feeling crappy running up the sweet hills around P-town.
