Life as of right now; some pictures

Life in this house is so boring. But I'll see if I can make things work. I'm so bored that I want to post some pictures. In fact, that's what I'll do right on this post. You heard me right the first time... pictures!

The first picture you see up above is one of my father's mother. The second picture is of a wrapper of Golden Oreos (I love those a lot). Then, the third picture has my mother's mother and my Aunt Joy. The fourth picture is a picture that was taken of my cousin Tracee (one of my cousins; also one of the daughters of Uncle Wes and Aunt Diane) up near an Egyptian pyramid. The fifth picture is a picture that was taken at a wedding reception for a girl named Kirsten. The girls in the red dresses from left to right are her two sisters: Laurel and Janae. The sixth picture has Aunt Diane and Uncle Wes near a temple in Madrid. The seventh picture is one taken of Uncle Wes and Aunt Diane at a fort. The eighth picture is one that was taken of Boone (one of my cousins; also the youngest son of Aunt Diane and Uncle Wes). Finally, the last picture is one of Megan. She's going to have a baby girl being born (date of baby girl's birth is yet to be determined). Well, that's it for now. Talk to y'all soon!

some pictures of Andy's reception

In the first picture is Saramarie, Breya, Jenny, Megan, Grandma T., and Grandpa T. If you take a good look in the first picture, you'll see an indication of an injury that my Grandpa T. has. It's a wrist injury that occurred to a unfortunate car accident. Thankfully, he and Grandma survived. In the second picture is Grandma T., Stacey, me, Uncle Wes, Aunt Diane, Dannielle, Tracee, my mom, Rachel, my dad, and Emma. In the third picture is my cousin Andy and his wife Saramarie. In my fourth picture is Aunt Debra, Alivia, Grandma T., my mom, and Emma. In the sixth picture is Phillip, Dax, Alivia, and Breya. Well, that's about it for now. See you all later!

Andy's wedding reception details (continued)

Now on to the details about the events leading up to the wedding. First of all, it was great, and now, I'll specify the highlights:

• Getting to see my cousin Megan (how many years has it been since I've seen her; 5, 6, or 7?)
• Talking to my cousin Jenny about some of my life experiences that kind of go in relation with her own
• Performing my 10-verse blues rap with my sticks (I'll have to get newer sticks 'cause of lots of damage to one stick), plus performing my first version of my "Genius in Blues" song in front of some relatives
• Getting to see my Mom's parents (Grandma and Grandpa T.)
• Getting to see some great pictures with Uncle Roger and his dad
• Getting to learn about Phillip and how he enjoys his time in San Diego
• Getting to see Uncle Wes

Pictures will be on my next post. Talk to you all soon!

Andy's wedding reception; things to know about Andy, his siblings, sibling-in-laws, niece, and parents

One of the best parts of the holidays was going to my cousin Andy's wedding reception which occurred in Boise on December 29 through December 30 of 2006. Here's a picture down below of Andy and his family before he married Saramarie:













In the back row are my cousins (from left to right): Phillip, Andy, Jenny, Megan, and Breya. In the middle row is my Aunt Debra, Erick (Megan's husband), and Dax (Breya's husband, and he is holding their daughter named Alivia). In the front is my Uncle Roger. Let me tell you lots of things that I know and like about this family.

• Let's see... Phillip has a job in San Diego, California and he really enjoys living there. He had to pay overtime one weekend, which wasn't fun, but it helps pay for the Christmas fun he had, and he likes the overtime. He's also a graduate from Boise State University. Here's a couple of bikes he's got. He's trying to work on the red one that appears rusty in the second bike picture below (he also got to visit Florida, which is where my family and I used to live). He is such a nice cousin to be around, and according to my mom, he's also a great gentleman.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Also, my cousin Andy is a graduate from BYU-Idaho with a degree in English. His interests, from what my mom tells me, are in history, plus when he married Saramarie, he set a good example for me to follow, and he's a good cousin. He got to stay with Aunt Joy (one of my mom's sisters) for some time and apparently, Aunt Joy and her daughters enjoyed having him around, so from that, you can tell that he loves Aunt Joy and her daughters. That's something I like about Andy.
• My cousin Jenny is currently attending high school. This school year, she's taking American Sign Language, Guitar, Seminary, Photography, P.E., and core classes that include Honors History and Honors English. The subjects she dislikes are math, history, and biology. Frankly, I don't blame her for disliking any of those subjects, because in math, I kind of get nervous because I kind of lack confidence in my math skills, due to the fact that me and word problems in math are like oil and water- a bad connection! Also, I am not very fond of history either, plus I'm not very smart when it comes to science (as I have stated in my blues rap, I am dumber than a rock box when it comes to geology)! She's liking her other classes, as far as I know, though, plus she's working hard and trying to make things work (of course she's complaining about preparing for finals week, which is about to come up, and frankly, I don't blame her for complaining either, because compounded with your daily homework, you have to study for your finals, which can escalate your pressures by quite a bit). She also hates waking up early, and frankly, I don't blame her for feeling that way either (just check my blues rap; two verses are about it: the zero-hour zombie verse and my waking-early-for-geology verse)! Also, she and I are getting along very well. Ever since she asked me about how I was doing at the wedding reception that occurred in my family's backyard for my sister Alicia and my brother-in-law Brian, I've really grown to love Jenny even more as a cousin, and we've become really good friends. In addition, she sets a very good example on how to treat little kids such as her niece Alivia. Plus, she and I both like to listen to music, and probably at an extra loud volume (my stereo's volume capacity is about 80 decibels, which is sure to cause to damage to your eardrums; not too far away from the decibel measure of a jackhammer)! She is a very kind, sweet-hearted, and loving cousin, and that's what I love about her.
• Let's see... Megan is about to have a son or daughter be born (yet to be determined pretty soon) and she is also a graduate from BYU-Idaho and got a degree in early childhood special education and another degree in professional preschool education. She's also a good cousin for me to be around; like Jenny, she is very kind, sweet-hearted and loving, which is what I love about Megan too.
• Megan's husband, Erick, is a graduate from BYU-Idaho with a degree in university studies and a degree in paramedicine.
• I don't a whole lot about Breya and Dax, except that they're the parents of Alivia (and Breya and Dax are good parents and that) and that they're about to have a nephew be born in about a month, so I'll proceed on to facts about Aunt Debra and Uncle Roger.
• Aunt Debra is the oldest of my mother's sisters. Like my mom, Aunt Joy, Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Blaine, and Uncle Wes, she grew up on a cattle ranch in Idaho with my Grandma and Grandpa T. when she was younger. She and Uncle Roger were married sometime before my mom had appendicitis. I really like the fact that she, Jenny, and other relatives, love my blues-rap and singing talents.
• Uncle Roger, my uncle-in-law, is a lawyer and he's interested in keeping the environment safe (a tree-hugger; that's something I like), and he's pretty low-key.
• Aunt Debra and Uncle Roger are the parents of Phillip, Andy, Jenny, Megan, and Breya.

That's about it for now. I'll post some pictures on my next post and I'll talk to y'all later!
