pHs LuAu

So this past Friday was the BIG Provo High Luau. My parents were in charge of it, so... lets just say thats all we have talked about and all we have done for the past couple of months. It turned out really good. The weather was perfect besides the fact that is was really hot and me and Ava got really sun burned! We were outside ALL day and I didn't even think about sun screen... so lame... I'm a bright red burnt lame mom who burnt her daughter! But I don't think it hurt her as much it hurt me, Ava has naturally tan skin unlike my pasty white skin that never tans only burns! But the food was good (bamboo Hut did all the food), there was a lot of good entertainment and there was more people there then they thought would come.

Ava's two best friends, Talmage and Matthew.

We don't know where Ava came from but she is a party girl. She danced all night long!!!

This is Fui Vakapuna leading the Provo High Football team in the Haka. He's one of the running backs for BYU and as you can tell, he is not right in the head.

RyAn's Trip to NYC

Jamie is making me post about my trip to New York City. I went to New York for a marketing conference at the coolest place's in New York. It was right by the ocean at the bottom of the island (West side) overlooking the Statue of Liberty. I stayed in a Hotel right by the Brooklyn bridge which is on the East side and I walked to the conference each day. I'd walk down Wall Street with everyone else in New York in the morning and by the World Trade Center (Ground Zero). It was a lot of fun living the New York life.

 

Ground Zero. They are going to build the second tallest building in the world. 

This is Central Park right across the street from the Plaza Hotel

 "Grab life by the horns" . . . that's the motto I live by, that's why this picture fits me so well.

The VP of Marketing at my company was a consultant to Ellis Island so he go us on a boat that the employees take over before all the crowds. We were on the island by ourselves for over an hour walking around. My VP knew a lot about the island which made it even cooler. Other than the fact that I had super bad Hay Fever it was a fun day.

This is what some of fore fathers slept on when they got here. I couldn't believe it. The sad thing is that this was probably better then being on the boats.

The top of the Empire State building. I hated every second I was up there.

The highlight of the my trip. Going to the Apple store on 5th avenue.

NaTe's SinGing PrograM

So Yesterday when we were at our house getting ready for church, Ava ran in the bathroom to go Potty. When I walked by the bathroom door to I saw her standing in front of her little Potty. I asked her what she was doing and she said
"I'm going Pee Like my Daddy"
Luckily I got there before she went, but we had to have a little talk after that.
