Murder Mystery Party!


The long awaited Murder Mystery blog.... lets just say it was an evening to die for!

We were all invited to one of Victoria Lester extravagent parties. She loves throwing parties and prides her self in being a fantastic host. If your anyone worth knowing your invited to her parties. But this party was a little different..... she only invited a few of her closest and well trusted friends. Victoria always goes over the top with her decorations... this is what we arrived too.

(Sarah's out line)

(walking into the house, very spooky and eerie)


(It was an elegant feast and we eat by candle light)

We were all having a grand old time when SUDDENLY Victoria falls down dead! SPLAT!

She was POSIONED!!!! Who would want to kill Victoria might you ask? Well during the dinner we find out that there are a lot of people in this room that wanted Victoria dead!

Victoria Lester: Beatiful, rich, smart and everything a regular women is not. Killed un meryifully by one of her closest friend and/or family member. Who would do such a thing?

Could it be......

Mark Lester: Victoria's husband and first love. He is a brilliant and handsome sales man and owns the largest shipping yard in the state. He got wind that Victoria may have cheated on him with another man. Did Mark kill Victoria in a jealous rage?



Christy Lester: Victoria's lovely daughter and only child. Christy was very upset at her mother because she shipped her off to a boarding school and made her earn money with no help from either parents. Christy was always very bitter about this and tried to make money the easy way buy smuggling drugs into the city. Victoria heard about this and was going to turn Christy in... Would Christy kill her own mother to stop her self from going to jail?


Eleanor Hopkins: Mark and Victoria's long time assistant. She was very close to the Lesters. There was a rumor going around that Mark and Eleanor were secretly having an affair. Victoria found out and told Mark if he left that he would lose everything. Eleanor would do anything for Mark.......would she kill for him too?


Dorthy May Bradford: Victoria's older sister. Its no secret that Dorthy is a little on the excentrick side. She hated how Victoria got all of the attention. Dorthy has always had a dream of having a big family and a rich husband. She got the rich husband but was having a hard time getting a bun in the oven. She wanted to adopt and had Victoria as one of her references. Victoria thought her unfit to be a mother and therefore Dorthy lost all opportuinity to adopt....would Dorthy's lost hopes and dreams make her want to kill her own sister?


"Big Bill" Bradford: Victoria's brother in law. Big bill is very loud and likes to voice his oppions on things. He is a big shot when it comes to oil. He doesn't like how Victoria treats his beloved wife Dorthy and was very upset when he lost his chance of having a "little Bill" of his own. Would he kill just to get back at her?


Candy Minster: She was Victoria's and Mark's next door neighbor and long time friend. It was very odd how Candy's husband was killed the same way Victoria was killed. Plus she made it very clear that she was after Mark Lester and she would do anything to get his attention. Would she even kill for it?Robert Carter: Mark's best friend and business partner. Robert doesn't know the meaning of silencing his phone at a dinner party. He is all work and no play. Robert has known and loved Victoria since he set eyes on her. He confessed his love for her but got denied in return. If he can't have her then no one will.... did he kill her?Desiree Minster: Candy's daughter and Christy Lester's best friend. Desiree wanted to move in with Christy. Victoria hated the idea and disliked Desiree. Desiree was very hurt and angry. Could her anger lead her to murdering Victoria?

This was a REALLY fun party!! It was so awesome how everyone really got into their characters. It was so funny how people fought at the table blaming each other. When no one really knew who the real killer was. It was so much fun getting all together and I really hope that we keep this tradition alive. What an awesome way to kick off the Halloween holiday.

I would just like to give a shout out to all of you guys that came! You are so freaking awesome! I'm so lucky to have you as my friends and I will cherish these memories always. You mean so much to me! I would also like to thank Sarah for letting us distroy her house and Anna for letting us use her table! Thank you so much! I love you guys! Now here are some awesome pictures of us after the dinner! GOOD TIMES!



Cute Sarah!!


This father and daughter picture is quite lovely.... you can't tell at all that they hate each other RIGHT?

Got to love old ladies!

Wait I'm not done yet!

I made my mom a little craft for her birthday on October the 9th. I love how it turned out. I hope she uses this for years to come. Let me know what you think and who knows I might make a little craft for your birthday too! I love crafts.....its the only thing I'll admit to being semi good at!



I just love how it came together!

NOPE, not done yet!

I had this urge for awhile now to carve pumpkins but i just never had the time. Finally tonight... the night before Halloween I give in and tried to find a pumpkin. Now you would think it would be super easy to find a pumpkin RIGHT? WRONG!! I had to go to three different stores to find a pumpkin because they were all gone. But in the end I think it was worth it. This was the easiest pumpkin I have ever done and I love it! I'm so glad my camera was charged!



I don't know if you noticed but that is a very big knife I have in my hand!


I LOVE IT!


You can't really see but if you get close it looks like the pumpkin is throwing up in a bag! Its awesome!!!

this picture makes him look evil..... but I still love it!HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!! BE SAFE!!

33 Days!

I am so proud of this announcement!!!
I have NOT let me repeat I have NOT had any soda for 33 days. The last time I lasted this long was about 6 years ago and it was only for 31 days.
I honestly am so proud of myself. I honestly never thought I could do it. I really thought it would be an up hill struggle the whole way. I use to have a coke or mountain dew at least once maybe 3-4 times a day. I just had to have one or I would be grouchy the rest of the day. Now I've replaced soda with water and some times orange juice or fruit punch. But mostly I drink water.
This is a really big achievement for me and I'm so happy that I could share it with all of you!!

Timpanogos Cave


This weekend 9-20-08 my brother and I decided we should go hiking. We wanted to get a really good work out. We promised each other that if its rains or shines we would go. So we both decided to go hike Timpanogos. Its been ages since the last time we both went up there. Jeff was 9 and I think the last time I went was when I was 15 with my best friends Sarah's family. The first time I went I remember it being really hard and my mom crying. The second time I went with Sarah I still remember it being hard and stopping a lot for her dad. So I was a little nervous to see what was going to happen. But I was Super excited as well. I bought a really cute Camelback water pouch. Its green and brown and insulated so I can take it snowboarding with me too.

That's me in the pink. I look pretty sexy I must say! lol


Here's me again. My brother was so thankful that I wore a bright color jacket because he wouldn't have been able to see me if I hadn't. (I'm the pink dot)
So the hike wasn't as bad as I remember. IN FACT my brother and I went up and down the trail TWICE! Yes, we did it twice. That means we went three miles up hill and three miles down hill and .5 in the cave. The reason was we weren't suppose to start our hike tell 1:50 and our tour through the cave was at 3:20. My brother and I got our ticket at noon. What are we suppose to do for 2 hours right? So we just decided to hike. We hiked it pretty fast and didn't stop. We were up at the very top at 12:42. We rested for a little bit like ten minutes and figured out that we can't even go into the caves for another couple hours. So we decided to look around a bit and go back down the mountain and have our lunch we packed. So that is exactly what we did. We ate our lunch and then climbed the steep trail again. This time it wasn't as easy, but we still had a quick pace. Passed adults and children crying. We still didn't stop not even at this part!

Yeah, its pretty intense. This is the part where my mom cried the last time we went. But we made it again for the second time so we could go inside the caves. We got up there about 2:40 and had to wait tell 3:00 before they would let us go in. It was pretty cold and really pretty. Its so incredible how they found the cave. My bother and I now have the fever. We have to keep hiking and next spring we signed up to go cave hiking. Its pretty wicked and I'm excited to go.Here are some of the things we saw in the cave, the stalactites and stalagmites, thousands or even millions years old. Nature is such a treasure!My favorite the heart of the cave. This stalactite use to be two but then grew together. It grew so slowly that it saved all the minerals for its self and that's why it became so huge. It weights over 2 tons. One of the guys in our group asked the tour guide if it was a women's or man's heart. The guide just looked at him like he was crazy. She said she wouldn't know. Then the man said I think its a women's heart because its "COLD and HARD" lol. I laughed so hard.

Well that was a fun adventure with my brother. We had such a good time that we decided that we will make this a tradition. We plan on going on another hike and rock climbing in two weeks and then when it gets cold we will go snowboarding. I can't wait!

The images that I'm about to show you may cause:vomiting, gasping, fainting, dizziness, coma, loss of sight, black outs, memory loss, heart failure, psychotic fits, shortness of breath, pregnancy, and in some rare causes DEATH!! I recommend if you are feeling any of these symptoms to please seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY or call your local police station the number is 911.

BUT for those of you who like to walk on the wild side and laugh in the face of danger please read on........



I woke up 09-03-08 Wednesday morning with a sharp pain in my toe. It was an inflamed ingrown toe nail. I was half asleep and wanted to go back asleep so I took a pain pill and went back to bed. I woke up late that morning for work and was frantically getting ready. I didn't realize tell I was able to think that my toe really hurt. It was the worst I've seen my toe for a long time. This is what it looked like:


PICTURE: A (close up)
I took a picture of my toe and sent it to several people on my phone. Just to get a feel of what I should do. The general consensus what to go get it checked out. So I decided I would leave work early. I text my brother and he was really sweet and he offered to take me to the urgent care. I asked him to bring his camera. (I had to update my blog about this!) Here is another picture of my toe from far away:
Picture: B
Don't you just love my sparkly care bear tattoo? I told them I had to get a tat to be apart of the gang I was in. The nurse just looked at me like I was PSYCHO! Here is another picture of my toe from a medium distant:
Picture: C
Now I'm sure your thinking what is that shiny stuff on my in flamed ingrown toe nail. Well I'll tell you. I was at work. Flaunting off my ingrown toenail. Telling them it was pretty painful and that I would have to leave early and just trying to gross them out. One of my friends had a wonderful idea. She had some numbing tooth stuff and she thought it would work on my toe to numb the pain a little bit. So I was like what the heck, why not. So I put it on my toe. Yeah, didn't work! But you should have seen the reaction my doctor gave me when I told him what was on my foot. Yeah, he thought I was PSYCHO, that's TWO!

Anyways the doctor decided to remove the toe nail. They kept saying over and over again how rare it is to remove an ingrown toe nail from the second toe and not the big toe. I guess I'm just special! So the doctor numbed my toe. That is where this picture comes in:
Picture: D
This picture is after they put shots in my foot. My brother was standing next to me and he was taking pictures and the kept looking up at my brother. I'm sure he was thinking, "What the crap! These kids are PSYCHO! Strike THREE! This is what my toe looked like after it was numb:

Picture:E

Isn't it awesome how all three of my toes are freakishly huge. Then here comes the surgery. The Doctor came in and cut my toenail in half and then ripped the nail out. The thing is he ripped a lot of skin with it. That is what you can see in the back ground of this picture:

Picture: F

All better!!! Now my toe feels a 110% better. I just wanted to give a shout out to my brother. He did an excellent job on the picture taking and keeping me laughing while the doctors were gone. Thanks BUBBY! To all of you that have read my blog I hope I didn't gross you out to much. Tell we meet again!

My beloved dog POODI

My beloved dog Poodi past away 08-27-08. She was paralyzed from her waste down from a stroke she had during the night. She was in so much pain we decided the best thing is to end her pain quickly, so we put her to sleep. We buried her in our back yard with her babies (Black kitty and White kitty). We feel that is where she would have wanted to be placed.
She was seriously the best dog ever. She was always happy and loved us so much. She was such a smart and talented dog. She could do so many tricks for a piece of cheese. One of my favorites was making her "sit pretty" and then yell "BANG" and she would fall down dead. It was so cute the way she would do it over and over again.
One of my fondest memories of Poodi is when we first got her. It was about eleven years ago and we were dropping some of our old toys/clothes off at the DI. When we arrived at the DI we found one of the workers there crying. After talking to him we realized that he was special needs and he was sobbing about a dog. We found out that he was feeding a stray puppy with his lunch for a couple day now and his employer told him he was going to call the pound on the dog that night and get it taken away. So obviously the worker was pretty upset. He begged for my mom to please take the puppy. My mom was touched and told the Special needs man that she would give the puppy a good home. My mom took the dog and handed it to me! We were so excited!! We have never had a real pet before, besides gold fish. Upon closer examination we realized that the puppy wasn't really a puppy it was a full grown Chihuahua mix. We fell in love with her in minutes. She was so sweet, she wouldn't stop licking us. When we brought her home we gave her a nice bath. She went to bed with my mom and that night Poodi made her rounds and slept with each of us that night. She loved us and was very protective of us. I loved her so much and I still do. I hope she knows how much we love and miss her. She was the best dog ever and I will never forget her. I love you Poodi! I know your in a better place and I know I will see you again!

I've decided that I'm going to post the music I'm obsessed with for the month. My taste is constantly changing. But for awhile now I've had and ear for very smooth, easy listening type of music. I love finding new or old music, that you don't usually hear on the radio.

What I've been listening to this month:
-Damien Rice "Cheers Darling"
-Ben Folds ft Regina Specktor "You don't know me"
-MIA "Paper Planes"
-Sia "Breath me" (defiantly one of my favorites)
-Jason Marz ft Colbie Cailiat "lucky"
-Adele "Chasing Pavement"
-Chairman's waltz from memoirs of a Geisha
tell next month!
