An expensive trip to Walmart...

Well, as Lizzy has already heard, our tv decided to die. I guess it didn't completely give out, it just decided that everything on the screen should have a blue shadow to go with it! Well that got annoying fast, and with Utah football playing their season opener tomorrow night Brett had to take action ASAP. We found a great deal at the local Walmart, and now we'll be able to watch college football to our hearts' content (read sarcastically) on our new LCD flat panel. The screen is smaller, down to 37 inches from the monstrous 53 we were used to, but man is it a nice picture! Anyway, that's all the interesting news from here so I thought I would share. And if you know anyone who wants a used big screen tv that will cost about $400 to fix, let us know!

Let's Hear it for Miss Teen USA!!

The least I can do I guess is post her recovery -- The question is, though... did she really recover? Her new answer still doesn't actually answer the question... But, the interview DID make me feel bad for her. Poor pageant girls.

Well, it was a year ago on the 24th that Ryan and I got engaged so we decided to go back to the spot where he popped the questions...Sandhollow State Park, and of course go fishing. It was actually a lot of fun, I probably caught 30 or so fish! Huggy, Ryan's fishing partner is in the back ground, we went out on his boat, i kicked their butts in catching fish!!! I also added pictures of Calli and Dixon who just moved to Philly, i miss them like crazy! Isn't Dixon a cute kid!

Nsync???

Does anyone else think that NSYNC sounds a bit odd on the blog? I think it is a cover band. It is sad that I realize such a minute difference but what can I say? I loved NSYNC. We are headed to Utah over Labor Day weekend...anyone else gonna be there? I am excited to see Sarah and new baby Mason.

Jeff & Katie's new baby boy

I hope he doesn't mind me sharing the great news for him, but today we got this email from Jeff Peterson about their new baby boy...

"Well, Friday was an eventful day for the Peterson family. Katie called me at work and said she thought her water had broken. Short story shorter, we had a perfect, beautiful little boy about three hours later. Due to the fact the he came about 5 weeks early, we were somewhat surprised...and for that reason haven't given him a name yet. Katie had some complications after birth.. They were released from the hospital on Sunday night, but we had to take her back Monday morning and re-admit her. She spent the night again but was able to come home Tuesday morning. She seems to be doing better and is hopefully on her way to recovery.

Love - Jeff, Katie....and the little dude"

Go Sabra it's your birthday...wait I mean you won SYTYCD, we gonna party! (ha I'm such a nerd but at least I make myself laugh!)

Ok so now that my summer TV addiction is over I don't know what to do with myself! I must say I was pretty pleased with the results...what about you Kari?

The fall shows better come back soon cause there is nothing to look forward to in my life anymore...hahaha

Bat Craaaazy

...Hopefully Sarah got a chance to hear her birthday music by now because I decided to update the tunes to the top songs of 1999 - the year most of us met :) Enjoy!

Here is a picture of the Doug and I from last week. We went with Derek & Emily (the in-laws) to see one of the biggest tourist attactions in Austin, the bats. They live under the the dowtown bridge during spring and summer and each night at dusk the cloud of them goes south to get food in the night. It is really quite the incredible sight. Unfortunately because of the weird weather we've been having, they didn't all come out at once the night we went, so the sight wasn't as spectacular. We were all disappointed.

Check out their sight: http://www.batcon.org/home/index.asp?idPage=122

P.S. If you enlarge the pic, you can see my psycho red bat eyes! Ha!
