My cup of tea...

The opening ceremonies started 5 days ago and I haven't stopped watching the olympics sense. Although I was a little disappointed with the ceremony, I did in fact get teary eyed when Paul sang "Hey Jude" at the end, not to mention the Queens "skydiving" entrance.  The summer olympics  are my absolute favorite and I have been more then excited.  The diving and gymnastics I have to say are my favorite, but watching them on  the T.V. only makes me wish I was actually there. One day...

Love the olympic team.

Parks, Pandora, and Play Dough




 I got to spend the weekend with this kid. Hudson Troy Barlow (Hudsel is what he prefers). He is the funniest person and my best friend. We spent most of our Saturday afternoon at the discovery park, and man was it hot! But we had a great time.


The album release is getting closer and closer. This pandora station is running at least 12 hours a day and in my dreams I listen to it too.


Yesterday was the perfect sunday. I was babysitting both my cousins while their parents were on vacation so I took them to my parents ward. I never realized how much I missed the sound of crying kids and the coughing elderly. Singles wards are too quiet with too many cell phones. After church and dinner we made home made play dough and it was the life of the party. Super simple and super fun.

Colored Playdough
Materials
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
  • Food coloring
  • Saucepan
  • 1 cup flour
Directions
  1. Combine water, oil, salt, cream of tartar, and food coloring in a saucepan and heat until warm.
  2. Remove from heat and add flour.
  3. Stir, then knead until smooth. The cream of tartar makes this dough last 6 months or longer, so resist the temptation to omit this ingredient if you don't have it on hand.
  4. Store this dough in an airtight container or a Ziploc freezer bag.


My family has discovered photo booth on my mac. oh help me...

Bat Bitten



Christopher Nolan has done it once again. I went and saw batman Friday and I have been bitten by the bat (again.) Nolan is so good with every detail in his films, and although Inception is my favorite of his I think this one tops the list. Not to mention these fine people who make it so good...

Three of my favorite people




I was skeptical at first, but Anne Hathaway pulled Cat Woman off very well. This is going to be her big year.

9-4-12











Alex and Wayne Sermon two of my favorite people in the entire world.  Alex was my dance teacher for 4 years and a phenomenal dancer. Her and her husband Wayne are so funny and cute and can't wait for them to visit Utah in September. Now only 47 more days till Wayne's band releases their new album.  This is going to be good!
