FullerFest/Neil's Family Reunion
Janie emailed me today, about the FullerFest and their fam's reunion. They're going to be in a cabin about 15-20 min away from us the same weekend we are doing the fest. We're trying to do rigging with them having everybody meet like on Friday at the Ashton swimpool place that mom and dad talked about with their family and then have a picnic afterwards so peeps can talk. But just have it be one afternoon. We're all good on this right??Everything should be great and fun times. Any suggestions for picnic? Do we want to go in on it with them, and have two of their peeps be responsible and two of our peeps? I told Jane that we normally have all the food bought beforehand and then go, but mabes it's a day we can all do like $5 pizza or something. Thoughts/suggestions/criticisms?

Middway
It came with a one night stay and a bunch of other packages. Well, I thought, what the heck, and I bought it, and so did Dust/crust-face. So, Alissa and I started talking about it in March, and realized that the expire in June, so we decided to see when the best time available was for us to go up together. We decided the weekend of the 16th, and booked it for that time. For those that went to Europe, it's not quite the same as Switzerland (cuz honestly-nothing can compare!) but it was nice, the bellhops had to wear leiderhosen, they had what they called a "Fully heated pool" that was ice cold. So we went 4-wheeling in the Montero, and overall just had a good time. Hopefully Dustin or Alissa will post some pictures of this view, with us in it. Oh yes, they had delicious Gelato. DE. A good time was had by all, until I woke up in my own hotel room that was fabulous w/robes and all the goods, I woke up freaking gay sick! I am writing this from my bed which I have barely gotten out of in the last 36 hours. I went to work today for a big fat 30 min, and then had to call it a day. It was horrible. My co-workers comments of "You look miserable" did not help as they saw one eye crying like crazy, I couldn't talk and I was having those hot and cold flashes. Not good. I know I am for sure not going to work tomorrow either, so feel free to call, I sound awesome! I am hopefully drugging myself real real soon. Have a have a

Bird and Saylor
Bird ready to go to prom with Addison. He is in our ward. I realize Bird's hair is not cute, but me and Shantay tried to do something different this time and it turns out we shouldn't have cuz it turned out not cute. Sorry Bird. We normally do it cute.
So Saylor got her little cheeks burned off at Bird's track meet. I felt really bad it was a sad day. Only her cheeks got burned cuz it was cold and I had a jacket and hat on her.

From Deonna Fuller
I keep forgetting things to say:
Jessie, why can't you watch Idol?
Janie wanted me to tell things about Sunday and Mother's Day:
I loved the yellow corsage you all gave me, five yellow rose buds, and 3 white daisies. You know - five girls and 3 boys. Oh, it was pretty. I took a picture of it cause Melissa asked me to. If I was smart enough I'd put it out on the 'net'. Everyone at church sure gave me lots of compliments on it and how pretty it looked with my turquoise suit I wore it with. (Remember this and all the attention I got at church - for the last part of this e-mail...)
We met at the Community Center for the guys to feed us the most delicious dinner of the year. Yum, it was good and lots of it. I had changed in to my levis and a nice shirt and navy dress jacket so I could ride my bike with my grandsons that begged me. So I enjoyed the day with lots of relatives: Dad and I, Uncle and Auntie M and Maren, Aunt Edna and Uncle Gaylin, Uncle Kenny and Aunt Diane, Dustin and Alyssa and family, Angie and kids, Jean and Zach and baby Saylor, Erin, and Bird. Also, Don and Raq and family, and Marci and Greg and family. And my parents. I felt all fanciful and giggled and laughed with everyone. You know how it is with Raq and all the cute/funny Kenny kids. The day was great. When it was all over and time to go to bed, I went in to brush my teeth and wash my face. I looked in the mirror and about died. I had on one white earring and one green one. I just stood there and laughed right out loud. That's how I was all day long - with all the fun attention from everyone, from church and the community center. Did they know? Or did they just see one side of my face at a time. But then I wonder what they thought when I was wearing a 'green' earring with a turquoise suit at church. And later when I wore a 'green' earring with a burgandy shirt and navy jacket.
Oh my, how old did I say I was getting?!!
One of you that blog can put this out on your blog to see if any of the cute Kenny girls noticed my 'green' earring that didn't match anything I was wearing or the other earring
Today we got a wedding invitation from Rainee Hatch. I think she is working as a message therapy person and met a Doctor at the Idaho Falls Hospital. They are a cute couple. We also have a nice invitation from Heather Bingham. They are getting married the Friday after we get back from Portland/Seattles is from my mom:

I finally did 10 random facts about myself
10 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT MYSELF:
1. I always like to have sweet and salty together. Whenever I eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I like to have something salty and have something sweet to eat to compliment each other. For example, when I eat breakfast and I have eggs and toast, I need to have some fruit or some orange juice with it because I need to eat something sweet with the thing that is salty or just not sweet.
2. I'm kind of a clean freak. My family would probably make fun of me and say, "Kind of?" I like things clean and I like things organized. That is just how I roll.
3. I absolutely love to spend time with my family. Living in California with no family around makes spending time with them extremely difficult. Caleb and I usually take a couple trips to Utah and Idaho every year. But beyond that, I usually have to plan a few extra trips with just me and the kids. That way I can travel without Caleb having to take more time off work, and I still get to see and hang out with my family.
4. I love to do crafty-ish type things. I like to scrapbook, make cards, toll paint, sew, and even make me and my family's Halloween costumes. I always want to be more crafty and make more things, but I don't always have the means, and I'm not as good as I wished I was at being creative. Plus, I'm pretty slow at all those crafty things I like to do.
5. I'm a speed talker and a loud talker. My family can definitely attest to that. I usually start out in a conversation at a normal speed and my voice isn't too loud yet. But then when I get into a conversation, espeically when I'm kind of excited, I get louder and louder, and talk faster and faster. I don't even realize I'm doing it, it just comes so naturally. The worst part about being so loud when I talk is that I passed it along to Aiden, who speaks in 2 volumes: Loud and Louder!
6. I hate doing laundry. I don't know why but it is by far the worst part of any type of cleaning for me. Almost every time I do the laundry, I put it on my bed to fold, and it stays there all day. Then the evening comes, and it is getting closer and closer to bedtime, and I need to clean off my bed so I can go to sleep. So I end up putting the clean clothes back in the laundry basket so I can fold them the next day. The next day comes, and I dump the clean clothes back on my bed, and they continue to sit there until the evening and bedtime comes again. It is quite the process. I probably spend more time moving and removing the clothes than it would take me to actually fold them.
7. I love treats. I am referred to as the treat girl by some peeps. Caleb told me when we first got married that he had never met anyone in his whole life that ate more treats than me. But now he has met more people that like treats just as much as I do: my sisters!
8. When I read a good book, I can't stop. I don't read books all the time (which is a good thing) because once I get started, I can't seem to stop. I have read 500-700 page books in a day or two because I can't put them down. Lots of times Caleb will try and talk to me and I don't even hear him because I'm so focused on my book.
9. I am extremely competitive at games. I'm not usually one of those people that will get mean when they are competitive, but I am definitely out to win. It is a rare occasion when I can just sit back and enjoy a game for fun without trying to win. (And I can't stand it when Caleb has to pull out the rules and check on every detail, especially when he is already losing.)
10. I have this fear of people not liking me. If I ever have done anything to offend someone, not even knowing it, I feel sick to my stomach inside. I can't stand the thought that someone doesn't like me or that someone has a problem with me. I guess you could say I'm a people pleaser.
11. I decided to do 11 things. I do fast. Caleb does slow. It's a wonder that we are still married.
Mothers Day/Zach's birthday in Clifton
Don't you worry Dad walked up there with his pants pulled up. I couldn't get Birds camera to work faster.
Just chillin, waiting for all the boys (except Zach) to get done with all of the food. (zach did help with some just not at this time I guess.)
Ang and her boys, we missed Josh (and all the rest of you peops that couldn't be there)
Zachary in his new birthday shirt. I don't think this was one of Zach's favorite birthdays, but I was glad we got to go. Thanks Zachary,I love you.
Ern getting hugged by all of the grandkids, it was real cute. (Ern is in there somewhere, that is her hand on Daxi's back)

Blessing Day
Here is our fam on Miles' blessing day. Jeff's mom made his blessing suit. I wish I had a close-up of him, but our gay camera doesn't work right, ever since some guy dropped it on the sidewalk in NYC. So this is as close as it gets. If you came here for the blessing, you could take your own pictures. :)
a few fun times
This is at the National Arboretum in DC. The boys fed the fish, called Koi with some fish food they had there. These fish were crazy, swimming on top of each other to get the food, plus they had gigantic mouths. Pretty ugly I thought. One of these fish costs about $1,000.
Miles baby blessing day. I wish I put the picture that Miles looks cuter in. Mabes I'll put one more on after this. This is the front of our house. Those azalea bushes are now in full bloom and they are so pretty.

Someone Somewhere hates me....
You all remember my friend Jack? The one who told me he was gay right after helping me move? (the one Dustin and Josh met and claim to have known instantaneously?) Jack called me up the night before I went to Chicago (he's been trying to be good and date a chick) and tells me that he told the chick he was dating that he's attracted to boys (yee!) and she freaked. I don't know why he is surprised.
Anyway, He's like, Erin, I really like hanging out with you, and enjoy the time that we spend together. What do you think about moving our relationship to the next level. WHAT THE FREAK. Previous to this conversation though, is-- that like a month ago, he told me, I had such a great time with you, that I decided to date this other girl. Sweet. Nice semi-backhanded compliment anyway!! Yee, the only guy that wants to date me seriously is Freakin GAY!!!!!
