Happy 24th!

For the 24th of July, we went boating (again).

For the past 2 or 3 years, we have gone....I think we are trying to start a new tradition :)

We spent all day on the lake....we started out at 7:30 Am and didn't leave till 6:00 PM.

With all the boating we have done this summer....you'd thing I would be a pro wake boarder.

Ha, ha...I am SO far from it! I have to build up the courage to go over the wake!

But, I can say...every year I get just a tad bit better :)

So after a million years, I might be good!

Mike catching some air!

My cutest Ryan.

Me....outside the wake! yay!

Look at all those boats!

It was a Saturday...and a Holiday....so it was crazy busy.

But on top of that, there was a wake boarding competition.

It was really fun to watch PRO wake boarders!

The Wake Up tour 2010.

I wish I could do a flip.....

Working on our tans.
Awww...I love the sun.

Our silly pictures....

while jumping off the back of the boat.

Why is it so fun to take jumping pictures....

Because you get funny shots like this!

Kip and Mike....haha!

woo-hoo!

Kissy, kissy!

This one is my favorite...it's so great!

Thanks Mike! We had a blast playing on the boat!

Can't wait to do it again!

I keep hearing....after a year, puppies calm down.

I so hope that is true. She is kinda crazy....ALL the time.

But, look at that picture....how could you not love that cute little face.

"How you doing"

I love my Ryan....but I love him every month, not just in July :)

Yay! For July!

Twi-Fest 2010

Aww...Twilight!

It's one of my happy places in my head.

I have an awesome friend,

(thank you Jackie)

that was able to get me some midnight tickets to the Eclipse premiere!

So, the show didn't start till 12:45 AM, but we showed up at the Megaplex around 7:45 PM. I wanted Ryan to come, but he said no way, especially to a Midnight showing with lots of screaming girls, acting all crazy. (Don't worry...I had to see it a second time, so I dragged him with me, he has to see all of them if he likes it or not :) But, he still loves me.

So, we made it a girls night!

We went to eat Cafe Rio (I LOVE that place and I don't think I will EVER get sick of it) and...

we got some FUN pictures, taken by Taylor Made Images, Katie's work.

This picture makes me look like I am for Team Jacob, and I do love Jacob....
but I love Edward too!
I can't pick which one I like best, I just love them both.
I'm only on one team anyways, which is Team Ryan :)
Cheesy, I know....but I do love him so!

Katie was on the advertising poster!

Katie at what she does best, taking pictures.
Katie the Photographer!
She had to work all night before the show, while we played,
but there can't be a better job....
then taking pictures of crazy twilight fans!

See, see!
She got to keep that HUGE poster! I want one.
And you ask, what would I do with a huge poster of me and the cast from Twilight?
Well, I'd hang it up in my Movie room!

Me and Rosalie Hale
(a.k.a my dear friend Shelly)

Rosalie, Emmett and me.

us and the look-a-likes :)

Me and Alice....

So serious.

We had lots of time to goof around...

So, the next few pictures are kinda random, and have nothing to do with Twilight.

BUT.....

It does have to do with me...

MEETING FAMOUS PEOPLE!

In 2007, While at Disneyland (of all places) I met Holly Madison,

who was on "The girls next door."
Yes, yes... she is a playboy bunny....but I couldn't get enough of that show!

The girls were so funny and it was fun to watch all their crazy little adventures.

I watched the show all the time...and then WA-LA! There she was, in Disneyland, the same day we happened to be there! We kinda chased her down, I acted like a complete idiot, all star-struck....but to make a long story short....we got pictures :)

And now, back to Twilight...

and still speaking of FAMOUS PEOPLE...

We got to see Charlie Bewley, who Play Demetri in the Volturi Guard,

in New moon and Eclipse.

I didn't get to meet him...

but I did get to take lots of picutes of him!

I have only ever seen two famous people in my life, and there they are.

I hope I can bump that up...it's fun to see famous people.

Katie "spiced" up all the pictures for me...

She's cool like that :)

This picture makes me laugh....it totally looks like I am pointing at his bum!

But, HONESTLY....I didn't mean too.

I just wanted to get a picture with him....even if he is inside, and behind a class window...

we're still in the same shot! haha!

After a long night of goofing off and acting all twilight-crazy,

we finally got to see Eclipse at 12:45 am....

and it was great. I loved it.

Too bad I had to work the next day at 9 AM,

and I was dead tried and almost died that next day at work.

I had a blast and it was worth it! I 'd do it again in a heartbeat.
