Survivor Springville 2008

The winner of Survior China lives in Pleasant Grove and his brother-in-law or some kind of relation lives in Springville and they decided to do a mini Survivor in Springville. Brock's mom and sister are HUGE fans. His sister lives in Oklahoma and would have flown out but tickets were a little expensive. So they talked Brock into doing it. Last night was a dinner and I got to go along. It was a lot of fun. I don't watch Survivor so I wasn't as excited to meet the people but the activities they did last night were fun to watch.











us, 2nd place (i think her name is courtney), Todd the $1 million winner, and Frosti (i don't know if that's his real name). All really nice, fun people.











Above: Their first challange. To find playing cards listed on this paper and then turn them over to spell a word. They had a bunch of cards hanging on a line held by cloths pins (i don't know why the picture wont load on here?) and then each player ran and found a card one at a time. After all were found you had to spell a four word phrase. Frist one to finish wins. We didn't. But we got close. They only listed ten cards and we needed eleven so the words weren't making sense. Oh-well. It was fun to watch.









Then they made a flag. Here they are looking at it. We didn't win.....










Brock's team flag. It says animo, which i guess means energy or something similar to it, in Spanish.









Brock doing the final challange. They stacked dishes on the gold plate one at a time until the person dropped it. All the people actually went a long time and brock could have gone longer but one of his cups fell off and they lost....


Tonight they will do a swimming challange at the Springville Pool and then tomorrow they are spending about 4 hours in Hobble Creek Canyon. They havent said whats going on then. I am excited to see more!

potty training

Connor is finally potty trained!!! I am so excited! Abby decided she wanted to sit and the potty and connor wanted to do it cause she was and he went! Since then he has been going on his own. I finally got him to go on a "big" potty (regular toilet instead of dora training potty). He still doesn't like wearing underware but all in all it is great having less diapers to buy and change!

Hives and jeans

I found out today that i am allergic to...well...something. I took some supplements today that i have been taking for about a month with this workout i have been doing. Apparently i am allergic to something in them. I had a small reaction before but i didn't realize thats what it was. So as i sat eating breakfast my nose started burning like a bad sun burn. I ran up stairs to look in the mirror and by the time i got there my whole face, ears, arms, and hands were burning and bright red! It was crazy. I started to really freak out. I could still breath fine but decided to go to the doctors anyway, because i was freaked out. Of course all they did was give me benedryl and waited to see if it worked and then sent me home.
On a more positive note, I am in a size 8! YES! I am so excited. After three years I finally have the drive to make it happen! I am excited to be healthy for me and for brock and our kids!

softballs+windows= disaster


Parking right up by the softball field is not a mistake we will make twice. Last tuesdays game resulted in this. As we stood around waiting for the game before ours to finish one of the players decided to hit the ball into our rear window. Abby was in the back seat but luckily was not hurt or even phased by it. Well, it has been a while since we needed to spend money we don't have on something we have to have. It was our turn again.
