HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

First off, thanks for all the awesome comments on my last blog! For all of you bloggers wishing you could get that many comments, try running up a mountain or something.

Second of all, late as this blog is, it must go up!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ORIGINAL WEIRD BIL!!!

Eric, I would say you shniked. Because when you desired to be initiated in our family, we had not yet developed our finest initiation skills and questions and tests so you were allowed (and quite happily so, just in case you were wondering) to just show up at our house and want to marry CJ! Thanks for coming to our family, we are genuinely glad you are here, that you are the best seminary teacher ever, that you love chuck e cheese, that you are so good at tennis, that you have the best jokes, that you... "well.. you see, the Jews," that you go play bball at the church while I play the organ, and that you are the best husband for CJ we could ever ask for and we know you would have passed the test even if you had to endure it in its finest state. But see how you were lucky to not have to do so?

Sam? Not so lucky. Never going to see him again.

Happy Birthday, again! And now a warning from the Roy family, who are proud to say they have fine tuned their shniking of suitors skills.....

Good Luck, Jimmy.

REGISTERED!

Every time I go running in the streets of our neighborhood (and the times are many) I am met, no matter where I go, with a stunning view of this:

So in every moment that I struggle up the hills of Topaz and Old Farm and Austin Bluffs, I can see in front of me the hill of all hills in our lovely little Colorado and at some point in those runs, some crazy idea in my oxygen deprived brain prompted me to actually desire to RUN UP THAT CRAZY MOUNTAIN!

Why? I don't know. When I've hiked it in the past, I found myself saying at least once every mile (that's 13 times) going up, "People who run this are crazy! They're just crazy! Not even I'm that crazy!"

Ha. Ha. That's funny.

Because on Wednesday were the registrations to run the Pikes Peak Ascent that takes place every August in Manitou Springs, and the competition to get into the race is usually as fierce as the race itself, but

I REGISTERED TO RUN THE PIKES PEAK ASCENT!!!

Wish me, your crazy friend, luck! Oh yeah, and since for some reason there seems to be a shortage of crazy people wanting to run for 13 straight uphill miles, gaining almost 6000 ft in elevation this year... there's still spaces left. Do you want to come with me?

Time for a trip

So I haven't gone to Utah for....over a week, and I just wished I could go right now and here are some reasons why.

Not to mention the taller, older people I like to visit there as well.

However, these bottom feeders tend to miss my talents and service.

And the prospect of this,

Is keeping my attention fairly well occupied. But the REAL reason is going here,

IN ONLY 11 DAYS!!!!

Just another to make Jamie happy

Well yes, i must admit i NEVER EVER look at the blogs unless someone says something about it. And i NEVER post a blog. This is probably the first one i've ever done in my life. But hey, i thought i would spread some joy and make jamie even more happy and add another post. Its always fun to have more blogs! SOOOO....yes, good good!

A couple of weekends ago Kristar and i went to the Best of EFY! it was so great and i loved it! We had some really great speakers and bro. mclay was one of them. It was kind of weird becuase i was so used to having him as my seminary teacher but then there were hundreds of other youth that it was thier first time to be taught by him. But it was really fun and now im SUPER pumped to go to EFY this summer at BYU!

And.... I love being a trainer! its the greatest thing ever!!!! Our boys basketball team is amazing and last night we played in the sweet 16. We played against Chatfield and totaly kicked thier trash, and won by 19 points! Plus, one of my favorite players, Manny, dunked for the first time, and he got fouled at the same time! It was the coolest thing ever because i was sitting right there on the bench with all of the team; it was first row seats!!!! And then tomorrow we play in the elite 8 up at the dever colosium!

This is me in the training room on a slow day of practice. Thats my little buddy miguel and my bestest of friends, sergio!

And just to make you smile, if you ever wonder what kristar and I do on the best day of our lives......well we be girl friends together and paint our nails and get lip gloss that makes your lips look like claire woodwards!! (not to mention that the best day of our life was on friday the 13th! How ironic is that?!)

Much love,

summeroy

For Jamie

I guess the squeakiest hinge gets the oil. It's not like we don't want to blog, it's just we've been crazy busy. So here are a few movies and pics to enjoy between classes Jame. Hopefully everyone else will enjoy them too. We'll start with Krista and her amazing feat in the school talent show. Her ability to memorize license plates and just her overall good memory. I used to have a memory like a steal trap but now it's like....I can't remember.

After this Kris went on to recite things she's memorized: Bill of Rights, Preamble to the Constitution, scripture mastery, articles of faith, speeches, etc. And the icing on the cake was giving Dad's "What lies behind us..." spiel. The impressive thing was the speed at which they were delivered. It was awesome.

This took so long to load, I don't have time to add more right now. Check back later!!!
