Boredom at it's Best.

It was a dark, rainy, sunday evening.  All of our company had left, and we. were. bored.  I mean seriously, honest to goodness, bored.

There was only one logical solution to our problem. 

To make fools of ourselves on photo booth.  (makes perfect sense.)

So photo booth it was.

Did we have fun you ask?

My answer. 

 Yes, yes we did.  

Here is the product of our boredom.

Alright, way to start things out with a very attractive picture.

We were laughing waayyyy too hard.  I thought I was seriously going to die my stomach hurt so bad.  

Why does Josiah look creepy in everyone of these pictures.

Creepy right?  I know.

Again...  Creepy. 

Oh gosh.... 

Chipmunk cheeks. 

There is only one word for this...  Evil.

I kinda like these ones actually.  :)  Rebecca looks so cute!

These ones always really freaked me out. lol

Well, I think that is just about enough foolishness for now.  :)  We had entirely too much fun taking these. I am expecting a "best friend resignation" from Rebecca shortly after posting these pictures.  Hopefully she will find it in here heart to forgive me someday. lol.

Anywho, I will have pictures of Georgia up soon!  Don't let me forget, because I will if I don't do it soon.

Ta ta for now.

Love,
Han

Dance the Night Away with.... The Shopping Cart, Oh Ya.

For those of you who are wondering.....  

No we did not do the shopping cart all night long...  

Actually we didn't even do it half the night.  And for those of you who are wondering just what, exactly the shopping cart is.  It is simply walking while acting like you are pushing a shopping cart, while you pretend to take things from a shelf and put them in the imaginary basket that you are supposedly.  Pushing.  It sounds ridiculous...  I know.  But fun nonetheless.

 It was kinda just what my friend Rebecca and I did when we weren't asked to dance.  Just so that we could look like dorks.  Because that is one of the things we do best.

No actually, we did a whole bunch of line dances, and some waltzes and swing dancing.  And we did the sprinkler too but that is a different story.  Well it is kind of the same story, (oh no here I go again.)  

I am very skatter-brained lately.  Actually come to think of it...  I am always skatter brained.  Which is probably why I start doing this in like every post ever thought of on my blog. 

And will I ever get on with the goings on of the evening besides the fact that we (we as in, my siblings, me and Rebecca, who might as well be a sibling.)  did the shopping cart and the sprinkler? Oh, we played musical chairs too....  Just thought I would throw that in there for (as my southern friends would say, who I might add...  I need to write a letter to.) y'all.  

Ok, just one more thought on that.  I love saying "y'all" but every time I say it here in the Northwest people don't seem to quite appreciate it.  I'm not sure why, but whenever I say it I get weird looks and giggles...  Which is probably most of the reason that I say it.  I am a very contrary person.  My brother likes to say that I have a disagreeable personality.  I haven't quite decided if that is a good or a bad thing yet. 

 I will let you know my further thought on that later...  Maybe.  That is a BIG maybe, though.

Just try to bear in mind please that I never claimed to be a photographer soooooo....  Ya.

Seth kinda looks sick in this picture.  But ya know it's a good sick.  Like "that truck is sick man!" ....... Ok well, maybe not, but it was worth a try anyway, right?
(that was supposed to be said with a surfer boy/skater/punk dude accent by the way.  Just letting you in on some little formalities.  We must get these things right you know.) 

Rebecca.

I can tell Seth is just thinking "oh ya, I look cool."  Now I will leave it up to you to decide wether that is true or not.  :)

Very blurry picture of people swing dancing or talking about  trying, (keyword here being trying) to swing dance.  It didn't work out so well when I tried it with Rebecca.  It was pretty hysterical.  There was much laughing on my part...  Come to think of it there was on her part too.  

In the words of...  Well, actually mysel...  heh.  
"Best friends are, well.  The best."

Rebecca has an escort.  

I LOVE this picture.
 It is so funny.  Rebecca is supposed to be doing her hair.  (it kinda looks like...  actually I don't know what it looks like she is actually doing.)  Meshach is just bein' a dork and Seth is *wink* *wink*  fixing his tie.  

More dancing.

(left to right: Katy, Elisa, Forest.)
They didn't want me to take a picture.  Hence, the reason Forest is hiding behind his sister. 

(left to right: Timothy, Noah, Thaddeus.)
We met lots of new awesome people there and I went around taking random pictures of people that I met there.  It was awesome.  :)  And just FYI I love the name Thaddeus.
It. is. cool.

I feel really bad but I forgot the name of the first girl in this picture.  I'm sure it will come back to me one of these moments.  Anyway, the other two are Irene and Maddie.  I <3 these girls.  They were so much fun to talk to and laugh at ridiculous things with.
(agg.  Glare.  The camera was giving me some problems that night but I still wanted to post this picture)

more dancing.

The three amigos.  

And the last picture of the night was of Wesley.  This guy is really funny. and was the MC of the dance.  Thanks for MC'ing!  It was awesome and you did a great job!  

Well, that is all of our dance craziness. Thank you all *ahem* I mean y'all, (so there) for putting up with more of my ramblings.  I simply had to get it out of my system somehow and I couldn't ask for a better listener I think.

Oh my goodness.

 Off I go again.

 I better end this before it gets too late to be today anymore and magically turns into tomorrow.  Well maybe not magically but I just like saying that.  I know....  I'm a nut.

I've been told...

 Many times.

Love,
Han

Learn Something New Every Day. (Ice Cream)

Wow, I love ice cream!  And for all of you who are asking right now, "then why don't you marry it."  My reply is...  Because I'm not old enough.  :P  (big joke in our family)

Alright, now on to the important part.  This post is for my good friend Rebecca, in remembrance of all the times that we snuck ice cream in the middle of the nigh, or... Come to think of it in the middle of the day too.  Remember when it got all over my pillow because Josiah came in when we were eating it?  Ya, good times.  

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these few tidbits about ice cream.  :)

Seriously making me want some ice cream!!

1. Twelve gallons of milk is needed to make 1 gallon of ice cream.

2. 50 licks are required to finish off a cone with a single scope of ice cream.

3. Immigrants were served ice cream as part of their welcome meal at Ellis Island.

4. Air is the most important ingredient in ice cream as it is needed to keep the ice cream soft.

5. President Ronald Reagan declared July as national ice cream month in the United States.

6. More men (13%) admit to licking their ice cream bowl clean than women (8%)!


7. Kids aged 2-12 and adults over 45 eat the most ice cream!


8. The 3rd Sunday in July is National Ice Cream Day!

Christmas Tree. Oh, Christmas Tree.

I am behind in posting...  I guess that is a good thing though because that means I have been busy doing things to tell you all a about, right?  I sure hope so anyway.

Well, every year we go up in the mountains with a bunch of friends and get christmas trees.  This year was no exception, we got very, very, very, wet.  It was raining, big surprise there huh?... Not, when is it ever not raining here?  Oh well, without all of our lovely rain we couldn't go out and pick a lovely, perfect, christmas tree (they call this the evergreen state for a reason, it is literally green forever).  I have to say that it just wasn't the same with no snow up there this year, I was sad, I might have shed a sorrowful tear or two, but shhhh.. don't tell anybody, that's just embarrassing.

I wasn't able to get very many pictures of our wet adventures, but the ones that I did get I will share with you.  :)  Do you feel special?  I hope so.  :P

I think I took more pictures on the way up there than I actually did while we were up there.

Mesh and Seth...  Being cheesy...  Don't tell them I said that.  heeheehee

I love my little bro!

Good friends.

SO CUTE!

Theres our Smurf man. That sounds so mean but...  Seriously.

Eureka!  We found it!

A very wet Liberty.  :)

Wow...  He looks great *cough* *cough* in this picture.  I had to get one of him putting the tree on the van ok?  Don't get mad at me.  :)

Lydia is always so photogenic!  I am so jealous.  I don't think I have ever seen a picture that I didn't like of her. 

Dad coming to run me over for being in the road...  I probably deserved it.  I do think that the light looks cool in this picture though.

Best Friends...  Almost sisters!

Loooook, it's my baby brothers.  Awwww, aren't they cute?  Ok...  Don't answer that.

Some of the best people in the world!

Later that night after we had gotten all dry and everything like that, Naomi and Izzy decided to sleep under the tree.  It was soooooo...  cute.  

Just for kicks and giggles, here is a picture of THE cutest pig I have ever seen.  Ahh, I want one!  Isn't it cute?  I love pigs!

Ok, so that was our christmas tree expedition!   We had so much fun!  We love going out into the wilderness and conquering one of it's most  fearsome adversaries....  The pine tree...  Yes they are dangerous, but it is as they say...  "Veni vidi dorfi"  translation, "We came, We saw, We dorfed."  Ok well maybe that's not exactly how they say it but I like it that way better.  

Happy New Year Everyone!!  I hope you all had a great christmas!  and I also hope that I did not bore you too much with out christmas tree shenanigans.

Love,

Han
