Olympics....and Anatomy??? and hopefully this doesnt offend anyone....




Ok so can I just say that I LOVE the olympics. I think it is great. Everyone comes together and America competes with everyone and we all have pride for our countries and we cheer each other on. It is fantastic! However....I do have certain reservations about attire that the athletes wear.
For instance, the famed swimmer Michael Phelps. I realize that they have these new suits designed by NASA to make them swim faster and glide through the water like never before. I mean, they have pretty much set new American and World records for nearly every event since the new suits were introduced. BUT....I just dont understand what happens when he turns around. I was surfing the web and I found this picture with an article about American Olympic Gold Hopefuls. I decided to read it and this was the picture they had of him.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE TURNS AROUND??? IS HE ANATOMICALLY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PEOPLE???? I just don't understand. I mean he has to have a butt......right? It just doesn't make any sense!!!


We MOVED!! Heres why.....

As it turns out there is a drain around the corner from our apartment. One of the maintenance people had put a cap on that drain and that meant that the torrent of rain we received on a Sunday afternoon had no where to go but in our apartment. Thankfully we have some of the best ward members ever. They were there in a flash to help us get some of our furniture on bricks. When they finally gave us a new place to live (24 hours later, and without air conditioning for the first week) the ward showed up in full force to help us move up the three flights of stairs. They were amazing and it was so humbling to see how a ward family can step in and help you when you need it most. Now we are three flights up and if we have any leaks or water problems up here....I think I might jump.



Our doormat floated away!! You can see how high the water got on this picture.


This is after they had uncapped the drain and the water was going down.

He can brush....but can he floss....




Ok so I know some of you may think this is overboard but I can give you a very long list of reasons why this is necessary. Just ask Duane if you don't believe me! He is so cute!

Fourth of July with Dallin and Troy



We had a good and very hot fourth with my brother Luke and his family. Alicia and I hung out and we all played with their two cute boys Dallin and Troy. It was so stinking hot though....blah.
