Last weekend, we were able to play in an indoor soccer touranment put on by the soccer team as a fundraiser.

I got vanilla with strawberries, brownies, and gummy bears(probably sounds pretty nasty to most of you) JD got the famous cotton candy with marshmallows, marshmallow cream, and coconut. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6p1G_6-jxm2EFKCjbRAkSDg6D3NEcf9AVtcdSWpFmHDXe39kSCUBN32Ze1TxH9e_ikERw253ZGfwSQe9YAqnIkToc12AvHIjMpGHEdv5KtyJuM-eBNIzL7Zq-eEMWJ-1Cs1M4NcFzUHs/s1600-h/cotton+candy+ice+cream.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6p1G_6-jxm2EFKCjbRAkSDg6D3NEcf9AVtcdSWpFmHDXe39kSCUBN32Ze1TxH9e_ikERw253ZGfwSQe9YAqnIkToc12AvHIjMpGHEdv5KtyJuM-eBNIzL7Zq-eEMWJ-1Cs1M4NcFzUHs/s320/cotton+candy+ice+cream.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304557840534169122" /></a> Lets just say the next time you see us, we might weigh 900 lbs.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572020274324666052noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492163923607535007.post-39349769376414767172009-02-09T19:25:00.009-07:002009-02-10T09:40:45.540-07:00BIRTHDAY BOY!Happy birthday!

It was a lot of fun to have them here. As usual, we ate our way through Cedar and then moved onto St. George. They got here Friday afternoon, and we hung out and enjoyed the company. For dinner we went to get Sushi. JD loves sushi, and I am slowly getting used to it. It actually tasted really good and I ate more than I thought I would. After dinner, we just hung out and chatted. Saturday we woke up and went to our favorite breakfast place, Main Street Grill. After we headed down to St. George to do some Christmas shopping. It was such nice weather. Once we were done shopping, we had to hit up Cafe Rio! It was delicious as always. They left Saturday evening, so it was just a quick trip. It was fun to have them down here and we appreciate all they do for us!

It was so pretty and we want to go back before it gets too cold to do some hiking. </div><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/RtpSInc23o6zZNcKErPeFg"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SO10RbxHw4I/AAAAAAAABIE/I1NTQwfSx8w/s400/P1020132.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum10808900PM">New Album 10/8/08 9:00 PM</a></td></tr></table><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/pyIoPR5OV4qPJKa9Xrm_Yw"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SO10XbqfBtI/AAAAAAAABIM/GLURBrjyVzc/s400/P1020136.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum10808900PM">New Album 10/8/08 9:00 PM</a></td></tr></table><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/t4EqYCEGBJxdYEzy_8VsfA"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SO10ZkXsYzI/AAAAAAAABIQ/Gf9IbT6CHEI/s400/P1020137.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum10808900PM">New Album 10/8/08 9:00 PM</a></td></tr></table> Too bad JD couldn't go:(<br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/LHegXjJoXS5CaMYTOzLs7A"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SO10gqGrF7I/AAAAAAAABIg/d_-FiPT0DHQ/s400/P1020141.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum10808900PM">New Album 10/8/08 9:00 PM</a></td></tr></table><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/DfswyDnMC6tHNSpfiY0GvQ"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SO10jph2NGI/AAAAAAAABIk/MbAbEkHht_s/s400/P1020143.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum10808900PM">New Album 10/8/08 9:00 PM</a></td></tr></table><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/MzaR0jemTpYUSwcN_902hg"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SO10nDl6zWI/AAAAAAAABIs/ZQ5-mSSW674/s400/P1020145.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum10808900PM">New Album 10/8/08 9:00 PM</a></td></tr></table><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/a72NeCQ2xVT6dYpd0DrAVg"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SO10wp981GI/AAAAAAAABI8/YA8QRw1FrYo/s400/P1020151.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum10808900PM">New Album 10/8/08 9:00 PM</a></td></tr></table><br />It was a great weekend and went by way too quickly!

Two weekends ago was homecoming week, and it was a lot of fun. They had things going on all week and then the weekend was filled with lots of activities. We went to the soccer game, they had a parade that we missed, and then we went to the tailgate party and then the football game. Before the game started they had fighter jets fly over which was pretty cool considering we don't get that too often here in Cedar.

'You would think the manager would pay attention and open another line," said a woman. I looked to the front of the line to see what the hold up was and saw a well dressed, young woman, trying to get the machine to accept her credit card. No matter how many times she swiped it, the machine kept rejecting it. "It's one of them welfare card things. Damn people need to get a job like everyone else," said the manstanding behind me. The young woman turned around to see who had made the comment. 'It was me," he said, pointing to himself. The young lady's face began to change expression. Almost in tears, she dropped the welfare card onto the counter and quickly walked out of the store. Everyone in the checkout line watched as she began running to her car. Never looking back, she got in and drove away. Several minutes later a young man walked into the store. He went up to the cashier and asked if she had seen the woman. After describing her, the cashier told him that she had run out of the store, got into her car, and drove away."Why would she do that?" asked the man. Everyone in the line looked around at the fellow who had made the statement. "I made a stupid comment about the welfare card she was using. Something I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry," said the man."Well, that's bad, real bad, in fact. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan two years ago. He had three young children and she has taken on that responsibility. She's twenty years old, single, and now has three children to support," he said in a very firm voice. 'I'm really truly sorry. I didn't know," he replied, shaking both his hands about. The young man asked, "Are these paid for?" pointing to the shopping cart full of groceries. "It wouldn't take her card," the clerk told him. 'Do you know where she lives?" asked the man who had made the comment. 'Yes, she goes to our church." "Excuse me," he said as he made his way to the front of the line. He pulled out his wallet, took out hiscredit card and told the cashier, 'Please use my card.PLEASE!'The clerk took his credit card and began to ring up the young woman's groceries. "Hold on," said the gentleman. He walked back to his shopping cart and began loading his own groceries onto the belt to be included. "Come on people. We got three kids to help raise!" he told everyone in line. Everyone began to place their groceries onto the fast moving belt. A few customers began bagging the food and placing it into separate carts."Go back and get two big turkeys,'" yelled a heavyset woman, as she looked at the man. "NO!" yelled the man. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. The entire store became quiet for several seconds."Four turkeys!" yelled the man. Everyone began laughing and went back to work. When all was said and done, the man paid a total of $1,646.57 for the groceries. He then walked over to the side, pulled out his check book, and began writing a check using the bags of dog food piled near the front of the store for a writing surface. He turned around and handed the check to the young man. "She will need a freezer and a few other things as well," he told the man.The young man looked at the check and said, "This is really very generous of you.""No," said the man. "Her brother was the generous one." Everyone in the store had been observing the odd commotion and began to clap. And I drove home that day feeling very American.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572020274324666052noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492163923607535007.post-63238821858134943212008-09-15T18:55:00.003-06:002008-09-15T19:12:05.205-06:00SkyFest<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/44jNqN5FoP81A5wsWWiJhA"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SM2ZTpySojI/AAAAAAAABBY/iGohkVp69H0/s400/P1020034.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum91408503PM">New Album 9/14/08 5:03 PM</a></td></tr></table>This weekend was SkyFest.

Friday we went to a small festival that was in Main Street Park before we headed to Market Grill. It is one of our favorite places. It is definitely a old timer place where everyone knows each other by name. We stick out like a sore thumb. It is JD's goal to go there enough so people will start to call us by our names.<br /><br />Saturday we woke up early and picked up our friends Sara and Josh and went mountain biking. We went back to the same place as we did a few weeks back, but decided to take a different trail. We actually made it around the entire loop and ended up back at our car. It was great to actually end where we started.<br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/_8mgCVwFkgIjoJLEzULn-Q"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SMdDMmkHVaI/AAAAAAAAA9U/ZnH8_d0Nju0/s400/P1010945.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum9908946PM">New Album 9/9/08 9:46 PM</a></td></tr></table><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TjAo37a1KFug0CYjEGnvfQ"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SMdDTylGrHI/AAAAAAAAA9c/W9oGaKMFTlg/s400/P1010947.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum9908946PM">New Album 9/9/08 9:46 PM</a></td></tr></table>Sara and Josh<br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9Z0DTHiH6S6MLxi5vcLJBA"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SMdDWs48GkI/AAAAAAAAA9g/IBD2q0fu6sw/s400/P1010948.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum9908946PM">New Album 9/9/08 9:46 PM</a></td></tr></table>JD trying to show off his muscles<br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/KKSXEDJRAq385U5qHG7S8Q"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SMdDklBaGpI/AAAAAAAAA94/tcpvTdfkSaI/s400/P1010953.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum9908946PM">New Album 9/9/08 9:46 PM</a></td></tr></table><br /><br />Later on in the evening, SUU was playing their first home football game against Adams State and they actually won!!!

We went up with a few of our friends(sara, josh, jimmy, chelsey). We had a blast.

So finally Saturday we decided we would go to Three Peaks and go mountain biking. The trails were all new to us since this was our first going there to actually ride bikes. <br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum82408956PM/photo#5238299677772168850"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SLItzaCnPpI/AAAAAAAAA4c/zZoS-pz6Too/s400/P1010894.JPG" /></a><br />It started out a little rough because the trails were not the easiest to see, but we finally got on the one we wanted and it was great. Besides being extremely hot, it was a perfect. No one else was out riding(probably not dumb enough to go during the middle of the day in the summer) The trail was challenging, but not too hard where you would have to get off and walk(only in a couple of places). <br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum82408956PM/photo#5238299953751296994"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SLIuDeJKi-I/AAAAAAAAA40/blzU8YI9URY/s400/P1010899.JPG" /></a><br />After going for a couple of hours, we come to a sign on how to get back. So we followed the sign and then after a little while the trail ended and we couldnt find where it picked back up. <br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum82408956PM/photo#5238300000878546546"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SLIuGNtLTnI/AAAAAAAAA44/BjCzZ1-DrQ0/s400/P1010900.JPG" /></a><br />So after much debate, we decided we would get on this dirt rode. Turned out not to be such a good choice. We rode for what seems like forever before we came up on something, it was the Cedar City Landfill, which is not even close to where we were trying to go. So we flagged down a car(keep in mind there are not many cars on this rode) and asked where Cedar was, he told us to just follow the rode and then turn left once we got to the main rode and follow that into town. Did he think we were on motorized bikes? So we followed the road. By this point our water was gone and there was nothing in sight. Finally we came to a sign that said cedar and pointed to the left. So we got on that road(which we had atleast heard of) and started towards Cedar. Neither of us had brought our cells phones so we couldnt call anyone to come and pick us up. Finally JD decided he would go ahead of me and ride all the way to our house and get the keys to my car(which I had left at the school Friday night)and meet me back at the school. So he rode ahead of me and finally I made it to the school to see him standing by my car. I rode up and he had gotten a flat tire not too far away from the school(so he obviously couldnt ride to our house). Thankfully I had remembered a friends phone number and found someone who would let me use their cell phone. So I called her and she came and picked me up, took me back to our house, brought me back to car and then JD and I went and picked up his car that was still at Three Peaks. Needless to say, it made for a long and tiring day!jdwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02162780086000070119noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492163923607535007.post-86385527350238223822008-08-25T11:17:00.006-06:002008-08-29T12:28:16.056-06:00Summer comes to an endIt is sad to say, but summer has come to an end.

Thursday, we went a played soccer with a group of people after I got done with work, and then later that night we went ice blocking with a bunch of our friends! <br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum82408956PM/photo#5238299417907939970"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SLItkR-JyoI/AAAAAAAAA4A/LvrPrmL29T0/s400/P1010885.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum82408956PM/photo#5238299444695073426"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SLItl1wtApI/AAAAAAAAA4E/AYsVw5AwsoM/s400/P1010888.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum82408956PM/photo#5238299503974967362"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SLItpSmIaEI/AAAAAAAAA4M/hT9yeARULPI/s400/P1010890.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Friday was a new experience, JD and I went to watch SUU girls soccer team play in their opening season game. It was weird to sit and watch them play. It made me really miss playing, but it was alot of fun to watch and cheer them on.<br /><br />Here are some of the players who finished their final year of playing last year!<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/AshandJD/NewAlbum82408956PM/photo#5238299550152512866"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/AshandJD/SLItr-nt1WI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/5WsCQ72c5oA/s400/P1010891.JPG" /></a>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572020274324666052noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492163923607535007.post-77729400323373521672008-08-21T10:01:00.003-06:002008-08-21T10:20:09.991-06:00IF and SLC Visit!<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&captions=1&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2FAshandJD%2Falbumid%2F5236785733935545665%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br /><br />Our summer vacations have come to an end:( We just got back from a fun visit to Salt Lake and then to Idaho Falls to visit Cheree, Brett, Bailee, and Carter, and then back to spend the rest of the week at JD's house! It was so alot of fun to spend time with them because we haven't seen them in a while. While in SLC, we went to a couple of movies(Batman, and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), ate way too much food at some of our favorite places, visited Grandma Healy, watched lots of Olympics, went shopping, and of course had to make a stop at Ikea. On Sunday, we went to Idaho Falls and spent a few days up there. It was fun to see Cheree and Brett's new house and where they will be living for the next long while! We had a lot of fun. We played the Wii. Boxing was my favorite. We went to a carnival birthday party that Bailee had been invited to. I think Carter and I ate the most candy and cotton candy of anyone there! Thor had a lot of fun up there too because it was a little cooler weather and he loved to be outside! In all, we have had a great summer. It was so fun to see our families and spend some time with them. Now we have to adjust back to reality and get ready for school to start on Monday.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572020274324666052noreply@blogger.com5
