Flowers

I love flowers! Here are the lovely plumerias.



Plumerias... I don't know what it is about these flowers, but I love the smell, and how beautiful they are. Plumerias come in different colors. Yellow/white, pink/yellow, purple/pink.
Plumerias are commonly used to make flower leis.

BBQ at my families favorite park...We call it "Horsey park"

I was driving home from work last week and thought ...."It is such a beautiful day, I want to take advantage of the GREAT weather that we haven't had here in Utah for a while and have a BBQ!" I called up my sisters and told them to meet me at the "Horsey park."(Which is located in Orem on the road to Wal-mart. I got everything together....made hamburgers (even though I don't eat hamburgers), bought hot dogs (Jennie-o) :), and compiled all other needed materials in the cooler. I love roller coolers! They are the best!
We set everything up and I started up the grill to make some great food. I love to cook stuff on the grill. It reminds me of BBQ's in Hawaii at Waimea Bay. We would put the grill in the sand and have a blast! Anyone who came by our BBQ at Waimea would get food if they were hungry. LOL. We are all Ohana. I miss "All in the ohana" living here in Utah.
Anywho....my nephews Josh and Lonz and I played pass the football and Aerobe(Frisbee). I had so much fun! I can't wait until the weather gets even better.
Here is a picture of us at the park.

3 Weeks off! I needed it!

Yes, I have been a blogging slacker. I have been really busy PLAYING! lol. I have been off-track for 3 weeks and loving every minute of it! I have been able to organize my apartment, clean my car & carpets, play with friends and family, and watch some great tv.
I drove up to Boise, ID and visited my friends Julie and Lisa. It was nice to catch up with them. I am thankful for all the great people who are in my life!
Some friends from Hawaii are here for two months and we are happy to see them anytime. We had b-day parties, went to Boondocks, and we had fabulous BBQ's. SO FUN! I go back on track Friday. :( Can't wait until my next break!

You have to do this!

My nephews and I went to Soldiers Hollow in Heber to go tubing. It was so fun! The cost was 20 dollars for 2 hrs of complete bliss. It is worth the money! There is a tow to take you back up to the top! (Not having to truck it up a hill to ride again was the main reason I wanted to go there! LOL) They do have smaller tubes for the keiki. There is a lodge to hang out in if you need a break. We ate snacks and rested in the lodge after 2 hours of fun.
Here is a video of my fun!

Can't get enough of the place!

My favorite place to go to have fun these days is JUMP ON IT! It is an indoor trampoline warehouse located off the 1600 Exit. It is so much fun. There is a section for little ones and another section for 5 and older to jump. You can play tag and basketball with foam balls. I love to practice my front flips and back/fronts. So much fun! Try it!

SKIING

I decided I would try skiing for my first time this year. I was lucky enough to have a friend from school volunteer to show me the ropes. We went to Alta ski area in SLC, Utah. I was able to ski but only in the kiddie area. I was not confident enough to go on the lifts. Maybe one day. So my overall evaluation of the skiing is that I am not sure I like it. I would like to get lessons to see if my opinion will change. I think it is good to try things at least twice. Right?

Christmas is Fun when you are with your family

Christmas was a fun time for me and my family. My sisters, nephews, and I went to my dads house for a Christmas dinner. We had a great time. Mel and I gave my dad a gift card to Olive garden & gave back church videos he gave us the previous year. My dad gave us....(the same gift).... Another A CHURCH VIDEO! We are sick of getting the videos every year so we had to make joke out of the situation. You think my dad could get the hint and get us something different. LOL.



After our dinner we all went to Mel and my apartment to pass out stockings. I was in charge of doing the stockings for everyone. I really enjoyed that. I love to surprise people.
Tami was in charge of my stocking. I was impressed with what I got. I took a picture to help me remember what I got. LOL.
I really enjoy spending time with my family!
