The remaining 5.....

Liz failed to mention the remaining 5 of the top 10 so here it goes:

6) Our sweet bowling tournament at work. Let's just say that no one was excited but it ended up being so fun including a few swears by "the boss".

7) Our planned Costco runs at lunch so that we can strategically hit all the tasters. Might I add that today's run only had 2.

8) That sweet week where Ryan Byrd's whole week consisted of different outfits from China and that one day where he came as a cowboy. (See below)


9) Free lunch at the country club
10) The day that one of our employees got his "employee of the month" plaque stolen. All hell broke loose around the office until that $3.50 gem was returned. Few!!

BEST job ever

TOP TEN FUNNIEST WORK MOMENTS (IN SEPTEMBER OF COURSE!!)
1. "Don't steal the water beotch" (what i really wanted to write to my fellow employees about taking the water bottles in the breakroom)
2. "Dear Alli (apparently the office nazi),
Would you or Gary care if I bring a smelly candle to work?
love, **"
3. Me writing to a VP in a report if he wanted to "Take ME for a test drive" instead of "Take IT for a test drive"...not very funny until he asked me if that was a Freudian SLIP.
4. Lance telling alli he was unsure of his bowling team because "he and ** had a spat"
5. "That dont kill me can only make me stronger"- my feelings about making board books with alli until 10PM that apparently "no one is going to read " (according to our COO)...at least we could listen to alli's favorite rap station while alone in the office
BONUS*** The Burley office running out of ink, paper, power, pens...

this little piggy went to the ...

Everyone loves a little bum...

Life as a west sider....okay just for a night (seriously, lets not judge)

Do you think that just because we ventured to west of state street that you cannot all be lovers and not haters??? i mean what time of the year is it? It is the time to get fat eating corn dogs and funnel cakes, get tatoos that tell you are sexy because your husband no longer does and it is the time of year when you can finally pay $1 to look at 1,000 lb pig (well, if you are elissa). It is FAIR time.








Not just any fair, but old fashioned, west valley attending, utah's finest, come to this and we all stare at the largest pig the smallest pig and the babies pigs. And then they send you into a trailer to have you read more about "pork, the other white meat..." sad...those poor pigs. I mean maybe no one else understands the irony in all this but i kept wondering how i could look at those pigs and then read about bacon for breakfast (and how it has less fat than bacon did 15 years ago)! Aside from Elissa looking for wilbur and realizing her time with children is starting to affect her social life... i'd say the pig experience was the only downfall of the fair...
The next stop on our fair tour could have been to a ride or even a sip of lemonade but NOOO, alli, being the observant fairgoer that she is realized that we were not quite fitting in....how else to fit in but to head right to the heart of ghetto 101.
(Ignore the drunk stare please) i assure you i was immensely pleased with my purple lesbianesque unicorn tattoo across my shoulder. I could only have been more jealous to have a growling lion roaring back at me--but alli represented the lion so well that even the man hitting on her leaving the tattoo booth could have sworn that they knew eachother from somewhere (or if she was up to it---they could)...better than the woman giving me the tattoo who lingered a little to long on my unicorn (i might as well have put a rainbow on my forehead and waved a flag).
Elissa was wondering where our dates were...but she found hers on the way home. The problem is that one she did not know him, two, he did not know her, and maybe for a small second we based this "match" based completely on how his very SEXY legs looked riding a motorcycle. I know you might all want to judge. DONT- did you see the last post about don juan, at least this time elissa is choosing men where they could drive their own motorcyle because their legs are long enough! We were proud! (elis- you did not think i was going to leave you out of this post...besides we all stalked the hot motorcycle man, AND it was only for two...ummm ten BLOCKS.) Besides it is better than meeting him while doing pullups at the gym (cough cough, lol)
DATES?!!! maybe next year...maybe not....who knows.... but honestly i am pretty sure there were some guys there that would have made those white trash pictures from the post below a reality in a heartbeat-
If you know anyone who wants a cowgirl, a japanese princess, and a ghetto superstar you know where to find us!!

Thanks, Katie...

Best in Trash

So, for the past couple of years, my brother Adam has a white trash party in the summer. This year did not disappoint! I know it was a while ago but these are too good not to post.

I know that my parents are so proud.

Based on previous posts, is it any surprise that Elissa is knocked up?

The Proud Family

Apparently we are slutty white trash girls. Let's be honest.. When you are shopping at the DI, it's either frumpy or slutty. We chose slutty.

Under the stars in Wyoming

The Kennedys!!

Liz failed to mention that on our way to Star Valley, we made a stop in Randolph, Utah to visit Grandpa and Grandma Kennedy. Contrary to the look on their faces, they are very happy people. Apparently, Grandpa Kennedy has some great stories up his sleeve but he was a little shy and wouldn't divulge any. I think they were both just glad to find out that Liz and Joe are JUST FRIENDS... I will say that next time I drive through Randolph, Utah, I'll be sure to remember Grandma and Grandpa Kennedy, and their dolls....

Before last weekend, I had never been anywhere in Wyoming but Jackson Hole. Now I can say I have had the sweet pleasure of going to Star Valley. Here are some pics to prove it!

We roasted mallows

We fed the fish

We ate at Bubbas in Jackson

We did some swimmin'

We modeled...

We laughed at Gunner

We swam with Gunner

Overall, it was a fantastic trip! Thanks for the invite Liz!
