All dogs go to..... Sin City?

2011-05-20T07:57:00.000-07:00

So.... It's early, & i'm up babysitting in Vegas. I'm in Vegas dog-sitting in the first place but Ash babysits two neighbor kids so I told her i would fill-in for her while she was gone. So decided to blog to waste some time!

Kara drove with me to Vegas on the 10th and stayed a few days then had to go back to the campground, while she was here we went to the freemont street experience! it was fun! we just aren't party animals like we used to be though!

Like i said i'm also dog-sitting.. Dogs are actually barking now(i should prob go let them out) =]

Fayye Bayy! =]

Cheers to you and me Kara the bomb Carlson!!

Happily Ever After“Happily Ever After”
is really a myth.
(It depends on whom
you’re happily-ever-after with.)

If I had to do it over,
I suppose that it’s true,
I’d still want to “happily-ever-after”
With you.

Feliz aniversario!!!

P.S. Can't wait for many more Shits and Giggles to come with you!

Sincerely,

Grab your iPod, put it on shuffle and use it to answer these questions...?

It's been a minute since i've blogged! Been busy with getting the campground all ready for the Mormon Miracle Pageant, and Memorial day weekend( which happens to be my 21st birthday woo) But finally got some time to upload pictures and update you all! Blogging has become an addiction i swear, always on my mind that i need to update... a few days go by, and I don't even get on blog site at all.. But then the second i have a spare minute, here I am. Blogging. lol! Anyway just wanted to tell my Sister's Amy and Ashley if you read this I miss and Love you!! Give the little ones hugs from aunt "beautiful" =].

Kinda a lame post i know... But here are a few pictures of what we've been up too!

Going through Kara's Dads shop full of useless things

But finding cool stuff to make abstract! our creations will be up soon!

Visit from a friend! yay! Someone coming out here for a visit RARELY happens! so we were excited! ha!

Freezing our buns off looking for stuff to make!

Hope you enjoyed!

Toodles,

Jenny!

air hockey!!

2011-03-05T21:46:00.000-07:00

I challenge you to a duel.

Ultimate puck begins!

*WACK*

AH HA!!

Victory is mine! Or is it.....? Dun dun duuuunnnn!

Jenny vs. Jenny. Who will win?!

Yenny always on her new way awesome phone.

:] kara

Time for my first personal blog.. So in recent news!

2011-03-03T10:38:00.001-07:00

10 months of smiles, laughter, happiness, and pure bliss. And many more to come! Couldn't be happier with you Jenny!

On another note:

Probably thee best movie I have ever seen in a LONG time. If you haven't seen it, or think you wouldn't be interested in it. I beg to differ. GO SEE IT! It's amazing. So amazing that I am counting down the days until the second one comes out!!!

Got out my old phone the other day, messed around with it for a while and remembered that it could take panoramic photos! This one was just quick and not that great quality. I want to go take one in the day. One at sunset would be great too.

Here's another one just messing around with it. Showing my parents what technology can do. Anything I show them they are always so amazed by it. it makes me feel smart. but here's proof that my mom really can be in three places at once!!

Going to get my license back today. Insurance and all.. can't wait to finally sit behind the wheel and drive!

Anyway, this has been what's going on in my life. Simple things make me happy. Spending a lot of time with family. It's great.

P.S. What's up Skywalk?! 30 foot walk out on clear glass.All you see is 4,000 feet straight down! Talk about adrenaline rushing. Definitely making this a trip this summer. Who wants to join us?!

That's all for me today!

:] kara

Happy Happy Biiiiirthday Kara!

2011-02-23T15:51:00.001-07:00

Today is lil miss Kara's 21st birthday so Happy birthday to her! Now she's finally a full-fledged adult! We have been so busy the past few days up north visiting family, Kara got to meet more of the fam damily it was a nice little break but glad to be back to the good ole Campground! I've missed six days of blogging so my way of half assing is to combine all the day's challenges together into one post! so here goes..

day 9- something you're proud of in the past few days

Nothing to interesting or special to be proud of. i'll keep thinkin & get back to you on that

day 11- write a bucket list of things you want to do before you die

I want to do anything new that doesn't have to do with free-falling or eating cat meat

day 12- write a poem to someone you love

I wish you can find, the marbles you once had
I wish you move to, a far far away land
Oh apology you must accept
For those are the words
From a silly Buddha hand
Now with sincerity
I write down the wishes
I have for a true friend

I wish you know that
I will be right here for you
From days when you are happy
To the times when you are blue

I wish you sing out
To make that angelic sound
Share your God given talent
Bless ones your voice surround

I wish you gain skills
Of the martial art master
Wear your black belt with honor
Kick the bad guys and mobsters

I wish you script down
The best story of all years
That will kick Harry Potter
Bring readers laughter and tears

Now the future is in your hands
Owner of your own destiny
Be brave and stretch out your dreams
Show the world how great you can be.

This one's for you kara!! <3

day 13- your 5 favorite books and why

Where the Red ferns grow because the emotions behind it was great! it was sad but the storyline was great!
The twilight series fo' sho!
Eckhart Tolle's book A new earth & power of now

day 14- a picture of you and your family

I don't have the family picture we took a few years ago with me.. so when i get it i'll post it! or when we take new ones i'll post that!

So that pretty much sums up that!! Hope everyone had a nice three day weekend!

Muchoooo love from the campground & mee! =]

Toodles, Jenny

p.s. almost the weekend woo woo! goin north to see the fam damily!

Short term goals.. Always seem so long!

2011-02-17T12:30:00.001-07:00

My long term goal has finally become a short term goal!! To get my license back!! It's been too long since it's been gone. Nov. 30, 2009. Haven't driven a day since. And thankfully, Jenny has been here to keep me from insanity. She's been my chauffeur for sure! Ha ha, I appreciate her so much. Feb. 23rd can't come soon enough. I'm sure she'll even take me to the DMV to get it back. But I'll be drivin' home!

Kara

I'm walking on sunshine whoa whoa..or a Frozen pool?

2011-02-16T18:45:00.000-07:00

Jenny speaking! updating about our day... we swept the pool..... yup swept the pool! of little brances and crap! Scarryy.. kept thinkin i was gonna fall through, but kara kept reminding me that the WHOLE thing was frozen not just a few inches at the top! That's Janice, Kara's mom in the 3rd picture doing most the work! hmm.... who's down for some swimming pool hockey?

toodles,
Jenny

kara says she doesn't wanna write!

The ones that mean the most...

2011-02-16T11:23:00.000-07:00

And the ones who've had the biggest impact on my life! My Parents!

"The Truth is that parents are not really interested in Justice, They just want quiet."

I love that quote, reminds me of how my mom likes peace & quiet! My parents have had and will continue to have to biggest impact on my life! They are always there for me, always there when my car breaks down, and always there if i just want to talk or get away! They are amazing!!

xoxo,

Jenny!

Supermom?

2011-02-15T15:06:00.000-07:00

In all reality, my mom is my ultimate superhero. As much as this may sound cliche', silly, or I may be sucking up.. I have literally been to hell and back with this woman. Besides, she'll never see this anyway. So sucking up would get me no where.
It took me 19 years to learn respect for her. It took me 21 years to actually learn how to apply that respect towards her.
I moved out the week of my 18th birthday. Thinking that I knew everything. I was moved out before I even graduated. Eight months later, I called my parents on the day that I moved up to Orem. Even though my parents weren't happy about it, she still called me to check on me all the time. And supported my decision the best she could. Which lead to a lot of ignored phone calls and weeks of time between talking.
Til I made the call that I never thought I would, and moved home after a year. Still being an ignorant teen, I moved right out again. Only to find half a year later that it again.. Got me no where.
The end of 09' about to turn 20. I'm living back at home, and I wouldn't change a thing. The end and the first of the next year, was probably the hardest time of my life. And my mom was right there by my side. The whole way. We became best friends, but at the same time.. She still was a mom.
And the best one I could ever, EVER ask for. Our relationship is amazing, strong, and invincible!
I am my moms biggest fan. And she is my all time hero.
I love her.

I don't have any of the pictures we have together. I'll get one later and put it on here.
Thanks for reading!

Kara

Caribbean Cruise, Port out of Galveston Texas

Chichen Itza Ruins!

Roatan, Honduras

A few summers ago i went on a Carribean Cruise with my Mom! It was amazing! If anyone is thinkin about going on a cruise for their first time... DO IT! I would love to go on another, it's the perfect vacation all wrapped up in a bundle of happiness! It's like having your cake and eating it too! Seeing the Mayan Ruins "Chichen Itza" was such an experience.. even though i was bratty and it was super hot, i know i'd def. have a change of attitude if i got the opportunity again! I'm thinking an Austrailian Cruise would be cool next.... or even just another one to Mexico.. you can't go wrong in Mexico!

Vancouver, BC Canada

Alaska

Anchorage

Ketchikan

Juneau

Skagway

Downtown Skagway. Red Onion and all! The ladies put on a show in the window for us. Awkward.

I have a lot of video of awesome stuff on my camera that I need to upload. Whales, dolphins and seals. Glaciers the size of our ship breaking away and falling into the water. I'll have to upload that later. If you ever get a chance, cruise Alaska!

Kara :]

Breaking bad habits?

2011-02-13T13:31:00.001-07:00

Next on our list: A habit that we wish we didn't have.

When I think of this, a couple come to mind. But I think the one that bugs me the most is that I procrastinate so dang bad. The next thing I know, I've got 30 projects that need to all be done in an hour when I have had several days to complete them. Little simple things that could have taken a couple minutes here and there, are now taking me double the time. It's stupid! And as much as I sit here and complain about it. I still do it. No matter how many sleepless late nights I cause myself, I never learn. It was the worst in high school. I found myself waking up at 5 or 6 in the morning to write my English paper that was due that day. But I knew about it for two weeks. Funny thing is, my life really isn't eventful. I didn't have any awesome excuses as to why I put it off so long. Just did. As I start college again next winter, I need to whip myself into shape. Maybe put up sticky notes everywhere in my home saying, "I will not procrastinate.", "You are not a procrastinator!", "Procrastination gets you no where." etc. You get the idea. Haha. As silly as it sounds, and even though when I do procrastinate.. I get it done every time. This is a problem!
Any suggestions?

Kara!
Jenny says she'll post later, she's being a lazy bum!

This little child of mine...

2011-02-12T14:39:00.001-07:00

Is me.. Jenny!!

We're off to see the Dilemma at the Movie theater now.. so decided to hurry and update the blog because i had a baby picture ready! so here it is! this is me when i was 1 or 2.. not quite sure the age, wasn't i a cute chubby thing? or chubby cheeks at least! what happened to me? i'll blog more and post another baby picture when i get back from the theater!

toodles,

jenny!

And here I am, Kara. Just a couple years old myself. Sorry for the dark quality, I had my mom take a picture of a picture and send it to me. Weird right? My mom texting.. Maybe for some of you that isn't weird. Maybe some can relate. But my mom has never texted for 20 years of my life.. But that's a different blog topic I can post!! Anyway, aren't we just the most adorable little babies you have ever seen??

Makes you wonder... what happened?!

haha. hope everyone is having a great weekend :]

Friday Movie Night! woo woo!

2011-02-11T18:23:00.000-07:00

My favorite night of the week.. along with saturday & sunday of course! we are off to the Manti grocery to stock up on candy and snacks so we can start the movie night! We just ate a delicious dinner, Steak & vegetables! compliments to the chef... Me of course! if anyone has any amazing videos to watch let's hear em! i'm feeling inspirational or horror films tonight....

toodles,
Jenny!

I don't know what else to add. I was handed the laptop, "your turn!" I think she pretty much summed it up though. always does a good job of that!
thanks to everyone who is following our blog!!!

over and out,
Kara

Day 2 of the 30 day challenge!

2011-02-11T13:20:00.001-07:00

Jenny Speaking! blogging about the meaning behind the name of our blog. I didn't make the name up, Kara was responsible for that one.. and to be honest i don't exactly know the meaning behind it. She'll have to elaborate more on that one. I on the other hand made up the name for our other blog about our kitties. The name is the Cat's Meow and Feline Groovy.... pretty self explanatory if i do say so! Just witty sayings that include cat stuff! Was thinkin about naming it the Cat's pajamas... but kept it simple with the Cat's meow. if any one has any cute ideas like "simply purrrr-fect" titles for blog posts send em over!!

Thanks! & have a great Friday! (heard it's great weather but haven't been outside yet)

Kara here. Updating with the meaning behind our blog name. One of my favorite parts of psychology happens to be the colors of our moods. Sitting there searching, which amounted in probably 6 hours of racking my brain. I typed something simple, The Blogger Blues.. But I wasn't satisfied. I didn't want our title to be sad. so I threw in and reds n' yellows. Now our blog has all different types of feelings. I thought it was kinda clever. Actually, really clever. But I know, I know.. the door is only 36" wide! :]

And yes, it is beautiful weather outside! Can't wait for it to start turning green and the snow to be gone!
Bring on the summer!

Woo! It's the weekend!
