Just a Quick Note...

Here is a little taist of the kind of person Sarah is....

Those yellow lines that look like topramen noodles, are really the rays of love blasting towards our parents at speeds and with an energy that would BLOW your frickin' minds! And we definitely are not 'flipping them the bird'. That's the 'I love you' symbol...idiots.

We wrote this because Sarah and I were being 'terrible children', so we thought we would add to the heat at the house by being even more twerpy. We totally ask for it...every time baby:)

My Jam Packed Schedule

As you all know by now, I'm going off to Montana for the summer. Before I leave I wanted to hang out with all of my friends. I jammed each of my friends into my schedule. So far I have gone to a 3D movie, made muffins, service project, movie night, bike ride, picked flowers, lunch, etc.This has been one of those weeks that I cant even remember what day it is.

The first thing I did was hang out with Katie, Mckinna, Ms. Arrigotti, Stephenie, and John. We all went to the movie UP, in 3D. Katie and I enjoyed the 3D glasses the most. We agreed to wear them to Liberty next year...that's not gonna happen cause I already lost mine.

I'd have to say, we look pretty spiffy.

That same night was my service project. I planned a service project for a group of my church friends. A ton of people showed up and the project was a success.

The next thing I did was cook with Sarah. I made spaghetti, french bread, and muffins. Sarah made Alfredo. I waited forever for the muffins to be done.

That is my Portland-Wanna-Be water bottle that I told you about earlier.

I waited a long time :D When the muffins were done Sarah and I had a movie night.

Yesterday I decided that I wanted to go on a bike ride. Sarah, Shayna, and I rode our bikes to both Jen and Kelly's houses. We picked flowers on the Intel Campos for Jen...I'm pretty sure this act was illegal, but so worth it.

In order for me to take these last two picture I had to ride backwards....yeah I know I'm a dare devil. I'm surprised karma didn't choose right then to make me hit a rock in the road.
This is how Sarah puts her bike away....you can imagine what her room looks like. Actually her room is really clean.

This afternoon my neighbor and friend, Chris, took me out to lunch. Her daughter, Makenzie, and I are very good friends. We went to Spaghetti Factory, and for dessert we went to Cold Stone.

I want to finish off my week by taking a trip down to the Portland Saturday Market....we'll see what happens.

Another Discrimination Story....

Here's just another story about me and the discrimination I get from being the youngest child. This tragic story took place Monday afternoon. I woke up like any other day; you know, with my hair all crazy and my eyes cemented shut. After I ate my usual breakfast of wonderful eggs and toast, I put on my flip-flops and got ready for the day. I was just about to run off to Katie's house when my mom and dad put me to work. They sent me on a mission to dig out a stump. I made my way up the stairs to my room, put my workin' clothes on, and attempted to tie my shoes. When I got outside I started to hack away at the stump. Let me tell you, this was a stubborn stump. But I was determined to yank it out before my hands melted in pain. As I was doing so, I began to think "Hmmm, I wonder where Sarah is." Then it happens...Sarah comes out the back door and gets in the hot tub. "That's it." I shout "Discrimination on the youngest child!" This is something that you can here me say daily. I continued to suffer in the heat and Sarah continued to relax in the sun. I said to her "I hope your white, Oregon tan skin burns." Now that I have pictures to prove the discrimination I face, I can use it against them. I end this tragic story by saying, to all of my fellow youngest-child-in-the-family friends, one day we will revolt and next time we will be the ones in the hot tub.

Being the youngest child has its perks, but I'm one to exaggerate the cons that come of it :D.

Father's Day

Today was Father's Day. This picture was really taken ten minutes AFTER we made the cheese cake. Sarah and I just wanted to get a picture of us actually cooking. If you look at the bowl, there is nothing inside :)

I made the topping.

I accidentally broke the spatula...sorry mom

We had a good ol' BBQ

My grandpa came down from Portland to spend the day with us.

Sarah liked the fruit salad a little too much.

At the end of dinner who gets put on clean up duty? Me, the youngest child always has to do the dirty work. I call it DISCRIMINATION! Some day I'll revolt.

This is our gangsta' face.This is our thinka' face, I actually look like this when do my math....except I'm probably thinking about something totally different:)

Hope you all had a great day with your dads.

Yup, Women Build Too!

Yesterday Sarah and I were asked to put together a trellis. Sure, how hard can it be to build a little trellis? Well think again. The face that Sarah has on is real, it took big time muscle to put the piece of junk together.


I found a screw driver, the project was a little easier on our fingers after that.
Once I put one side of the trellis together I sorta' just watched as Sarah put the rest of it together.I look like I have a sailor's hat on. Right when Sarah and I had the hardest part done, my mom came out and told us we didn't need to make it any more. Gah!
Sarah and I refused to stop the project. We persevered and eventually compleated the unwanted trellis.

I told Sarah it looked like a horse shoe....
We just had to have a picture with us throwing our GIANT horse shoe.
After the trellis was done my dad saw that the shed needed to be fixed from after the wind storm.

I was the right person for the job.

All my dad had to do was ask for my help.
Eventually, I took over.
Yup, that's right, I showed him who was boss.

The shed was almost fixed.
All I had to do was drill in the last screws.

I was so proud of my amazing handy work, I just had to admire it.

Trip to the Nursery

On Saturday my family and I went to the nursery to stock up on our garden yummyness. In fact I planted my own Zucchini and Tomatoes last weekend and when I checked up on them today I saw green leaves coming out of the dirt... yup they didn't die :)



Sarah was a little thursty....I feel like her babysitter when ever we go out.

The flowers were B-E-A-utiful.

Here's a joke for all of you who have seen the new movie UP... you know the opening commercial with the happy clouds and the storm clouds? Well this flower looks like the one the storm cloud would make ;)

My little TreeHugger

What a goof

Since I'm too whimpy to get my drivers licence, I think I'll just drive a wagon for the rest of my life.

I am KING...you like my belt buckle?

The apple and cherry trees, that we bought, were testing Sarah's muscles.

"Roses are red, Violets are blue...bla bla bla bla bla...

I wanted to get the pink sunflower things, but no we were only there to get trees.

The only complaint I had was having to run away from too many bees.

I don't really know what Sarah is doing here, I'll just make up what I think she's thinking.

"Hmmm, Lizzy is the best little sister, I should get her some flowers to thank her."

Okay, here's a little taist of why I think Sarah was meant to have blonde hair. As we drove to the nursery, we had to take a detour on RiverRoad. Sarah said "Wow, they have been working on that road since last year." Dad replys "That's how long it takes to build a bridge." Sarah says "Why are they building a bridge? Are they putting water under it?" I say "Sarah, if they're building a bridge that normaly means there was already water, hence the need for a bridge. Also, we are on RiverRoad, so I'm guessing there has been a river there for some time." Sarah says "Was that a dumb question?" I say "No question is a dumb question. It was just a blonde question, if you know what I mean."
