Breakin'

A few weekends ago our friends Marni, Lynsey, and Brittany told us about this little music festival going on down on 100 N. The bands were pretty good and we had fun doing that little paint thing with your paper is spinning and you pour colors on....i have no idea what it's called. They were also raffling off a bubble machine. I wish I won it....


This band's singer went off on this awesome dance break in the middle of a song. i wish i had better pictures of it, it was hilarious.


Here are Brittany and Lynsey (on the right). Unfortunately I don't have a picture of Marni.



Of course we ran into Robsters and Adam!


We also ran into Jordan, who now has a big crush on Lyndsi. Probably from dancing in the street with her here.


On our way home we stopped at Smith's and got the 8 boxes of cereal for $8. It was the best deal ever. So of course Jordan made a tower out of all our new cereal boxes.


What could we do then except watch BREAKIN'!? I feel it's my duty to share it with the world, a few people at a time. Everyone needs a little Breakin' in their life. Of course everyone loved it.


Rik and I take a picture of ourselves like this pretty much every time I bust the camera out.

Family Dinner

We decided to start having "family" dinners together every Sunday night as an apartment. Here is the first one ever!

I made the drink and the chicken parmesan (thanks Mom). Leslie set the table.


Rikster made spinach leaf salad with peaches and asian dressing and garlic bread made out of written off bagels mandy brought back from the bookstore (they were still good, we're not THAT gross). Mandy prepared the green beans.


Our nice family picture at the dinner table.



Rikki: I guess I'm the Mom since i'm at the head of the table.
Mandy: What, so I'm the dad!?

Mandy: Leslie, I'm sorry we haven't told you this before but....you're adopted.


Also, here is a wall in our living room that Rikki and I decorated with my and Billy's posters.


Here is a picture of my side of the room for Megan. Yes dad, I do make my bed and clean my room every day, believe it or not.

India Fest!

Last Saturday was India Fest a couple towns down, so Rikki, Kevin Hein and I decided to go check it out.

Here is the beautiful building they have to worship Hinduism in.




For no apparent reason they have a llama farm.


I'm pretty sure the llamas liked me more than Rikki. I don't know how to explain that one.


Llamaface!


This one looked like it wanted to be a giraffe but just ended up an ugly mix.



This was a weird animal that had a sort of hump like a camel on its back, which was squishy when you pressed it. It grossed me out.


There was a performance which kind of reminded me of the Hill Cumorah Pagaent (everything prerecorded, trumpets at the beginning). Here are the characters afterward.


This was the final scene of the performance, when the good guys set the multiple-headed bad guys on fire...you know, the usual.


The afterparty?


Kevin seriously needs to work on his "breakin it down" skills.



So here's a video of a rock band rocking out the the Hare Krishna Mantra after the performance... yes, he is just repeating the words of the Mantra over and over again...

Bon Fire

Mike M. and the rest of the boys in the house have been tearing apart the roof to put on new shingles. Their front lawn has been looking like a dump piled up with the old shingles, so we took a load and had a fire next to Utah Lake.

Here is Mandy hiding from the wind while the boys unloaded the trailer.

Dancing in the Street

Let me reintroduce you to Jeff and his roommates:

Mike M. (and Leslie) looking very creepy

Jeff

Eric

And their new roommate, Mike B, who just got off his mission 4 months ago.

Leslie, Rikki, Rikki's friend Casey and I were planning on going to a stake dance last night, but when Rikki and Casey went to Brick Oven for dinner beforehand, Leslie and I decided to go visit Jeff and his roommates. And instead of going to the dance....we had a dance party. In their driveway. Rikki and Casey came after they had enjoyed the stake dance for a while

New Apartment!

We have officially moved into our new apartment. Let me introduce you to my roommates....

Here's Mandy trying to take a Sunday afternoon nap, but smiling for the picture. Mandy and I share a room.


Here is Leslie, who replaced Kelsey as Rikki's roommate, since Kelsey is spending this semester in Florida.


Here is Rikki, looking good as always. It didn't take everyone long to shuck our church clothes and change back into PJ's.


Here are some views of the apartment. We haven't finished decorating yet, so I will put up more pictures once it is complete.




Mine and Mandy's room. This picture is missing the decorations I've already put up on my side and the pile of boxes by the closet that Mandy has yet to unpack.


Rikki and Leslie's room. This shows Leslie's side.


And here is Rikki's side.
