we went to Oregon to visit my aunt and we helped her with The Annual Cherry Fair! Talking about feeling like you lived in the movie "Charlotte's Webb" we have always loved the small town life! I think if Jimmy could find a job we'd be moving there!
The Fair consisted of a community breakfast than a parade! The girls were on the Cherry Fairy Float... (so dang cute!) Then there was games, raffles for quilts, homemade treats, the most amazing fresh squeezed lemonade we've EVER had in our lives, the Piggy train, Cherry Pie eating contest, Cherry Pit spitting contest, Cherry Cooking Contest, there was pulled pork sandwiches for lunch, corn on the cobb and coleslaw and Cherry Pie, than for dinner there were beans, more corn and Cherry glazed chicken halves & Cherry Cobbler for dessert! Jimmy BBQ'd ALL the chicken halves, almost 300 of them! It was 109 degrees, record breaking heat that day for this little town in Oregon but you would not have known it. Everyone was out for the event.
Auntie Sherry had the girls special Cherry dresses to wear all day and they loved them! We had the most amazing time! It sure was a day to remember and we can't wait to go back...

2008 Olympics - Michael Phelps
Ok, I've ALWAYS loved the Olympics, ever since I was little... I would sneak and stay up late and watch them in my room when I was supposed to be sleeping! I've been doing the same thing the past few days! :o) I actually went almost 48 hours w/out sleeping because I had 2 back to back workshops from 4pm- midnight then a community garage sale, to make a long story short, instead of sleeping, I would come home at 1am and turn on the Olympics!
We have ALOT of amazing athletes, WOW! However that Phelps boy has got me "clumsy" hee hee! Of course I could be his mom and I'm married but Holy Cow does that swimming and energy and cute smile make my heart flutter! Watching him break the World Record and watching his family and the president of the united states cheer him on too was magical. I actually got goose skin and teared up!
I've always thought that one of my kids would be in the Olympics someday... it's strange but when we were watching the SLC Olympics I even said to Jimmy, "I bet one of our kids will be in the Olympics!" I hope they want to swim, do gymnastics... whatever, who knows, could just be a secret, unconscious wish or desire since I always wanted to be a great athlete... or maybe it's something. All I know is that I want to support my kids and give them the opportunity to shoot for the stars and know they can be and do ANYTHING they want to!!!
Well... I NEED to get back to watching my TIVO'd Olympics! ha ha ha!!! I'm obsessed... it's embarrassing!!! But Jimmy is too... he loves it. The only thing we've found we don't care much about is the fencing and it's weird because the Good Ole... US of A won a gold for all 3 medal placings! We must be killer at it, it just seems dumb to me!?

HaPpY bIrThDaY cOlBy!!!
This blog is a tribute to my rad brother! some people hate their siblings or wouldn't brag about them... but that's NOT me! i have an awesome BIG brother and i have ALWAYS been known as Colby's little sister! and i love it... sometimes when i know that someone knows Colby but not me, i introduce myself as Colby's little sister and they usually have to ask me my name because that's how i'll leave it... it's fun to see the response i get too! there is a BIG Colby fan club out there! :o)
don't get me wrong, we've had our fights, i've given him 2 black eyes and ruined some dates and blamed him for things he didn't do and was laughing while he was getting spanked for it... :o) but all in all we've been great friends our whole lives! even though he asked my mom to bring me back to the hospital the day after she brought me home! :o) he may not have liked me tagging along and inviting myself and getting stuck with me, but i enjoyed it all. i can only hope when i see a brother and sister that they will be as close as we were and be in each other's corners like we were and support and stick for each other like we have.
i love you Coby Brother! Always have and Always will... i'm glad you're back in Cali and happy and i love you, but i miss you like crazy sometimes! i'm proud of you, think you're an amazing dad, an incredible husband, a wonderful example, a great friend and the BEST brother in the whole wide world. i hope God blesses you beyond your wildest dreams this year and that you have more wealth, health and happiness in your life than you know what to do with. :o)
love your baby sis,
Nissa
