Baldy Brandon

I have been getting on Brandon's nerves because I have been asking him to shave his head for probably a year now! Well, the other day I told him his hair was getting a little long and that he needed a hair cut. He responded very quickly and told me that I could shave his head! So before he changed his mind, I got the hair cutting equipment out! He said there was only one condition....That I do funny stuff on the way to shaving it off all the way.

First, we made a mow hawk that went all the way down his head!!!

Then we shaved off the back of the mow hawk cuz it was looking to much like a mullet for me to handle. But then he wouldn't let me shave it off. He didn't tell that he wanted the mow hawk for a few days. So, I let him keep it for a couple days.
Then comes around the 4th day....I told him that it needed to be shaved off to go to the temple. So it got shaved!!!! Completely!!!!
Yes, you may say he looks like a cancer patient, but really he's as healthy as a horse. He just needs to get a tan sometime soon!!!!

That thong thong thong thong

Who would have thought bag making would turn into thong making.

I was in the middle of making another bag/purse, when we decided to have some friends over for dinner. I had the pieces of the bag laying on the floor...

Chris: "What the heck are you ladies making over here?"

Me: "Bags...Why do you ask?"

Chris: "It looks like you are making a homemade thong!"

Me: "(laughing) Yeah! That's what I'm making!!!"

So I had to show everybody what my homemade thong looked like hahaha!!!! These are really pieces of the handle and the top of my bag :P

The Fam Damily of the B'Guerra's!!!!

Paul Guerra returned home from his mission and decided to come out and sell with his brother, Mario. The whole "fam damily" decided to bring Paul out so we all took a day to go to Elitch Gardens and have some fun. So we did. There was a little water park, which was pretty fun too, but this park really isn't the greatest in mind, but it was fun anyways!!! (As you will notice below, I make up my own names for rides because I have a horrible memory when it comes to names of people, places, or things.)

This is the ride that takes you up 225 feet and then drops you:( I always get so scared, I even scared Brandon just because of how scared I was. I hate going to the top and sitting there for a second to think about this, I kick and scream like crazy, but I love the excitement of the ride! It's a thrill!!!

This is the 'boat' ride. You get in this boat, go up however many feet then go down a drop just like a roller coaster except for at the end of this one you get totally drenched.

As you can see below, Ken and Joni are trying to get over the bridge before the boat splashes the water, but barely made it. The water splashes so far and high you can't even tell in that picture because that's how high it splashed, which is why I added this other picture so you could get a feel of what it was like.This is us after the ride, I would have been soaked in the front of my body too, but I decided to lean forward so that only my back got wet!

This is what I call the swing ride, you get in a full body harness like shown below. Then you get attached to your 'flying partners' get pulled up 152feet, one of you pulls the chord, you free fall about 50feet, then you enjoy the swinging time!!!!

This is right after we got our harness' on.

The Guerra's going up for their swing!!! Yay!

Us getting ready to go up the 152feet. AHHHHH!!! As you can tell, I am trying to look excited, but I am scared out of my mind.

The after effects...I was so scared, I kept saying how scared I was the entire way up, then as we dropped I screamed so loud, and drool came out of my mouth and got all over Mario's face :) Also, Mario had to yell at me to let go of his arm because I was holding on so tight because I was scared out of my mind, but after that first initial drop you are aloud to let your arms out and fly, but I wouldn't let go until the 2nd swing heehee

My absolute favorite rides are the 'old school' roller coasters. Brandon didn't like it so much because it was too jerky for him, but I loved it!!!

This is the end of the day. We came back from Elitch and had a BBQ by the pool!

Yes, we did swim! Even though we had a thunderstorm that night. But we went back to our apartments before it got too bad, don't worry. But I just had to show everybody how loving brothers and sisters should be....these two are a FABULOUS example :P

Thank You Laurel!!!!

Yay!!! I am so excited for my new hat!!! It is so cute! I got it in the mail about a week or two ago now, I'm just a total slacker when it comes to blogging.... However, I wanted to make sure that I said, "THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH LAUREL!!!! I LOVE MY NEW HAT!!!!"

Who says we can't be little?!?!?!

Us, being typical girls, decided to set up a little kids date!!! We decided we were going to wear dresses, put little bows in our hair, and put on crazy make-up like little kids do (heavy weird colored eye shadow, heavy lipstick, and heavy blush). Then we bought the guys little boys shirts with Mario and Luigi on them (they literally were little boys, hence why they are so small on our men). 

We made a picnic with peanut butter and jelly, gushers, chips and capri suns! For a treat...PEZ!!! Don't you remember the pez dispensers? Those were the days...now they taste disgusting :P  

This is the 4 of us; Me, Brandon, Chris, & Katie! (Notice the shirts, dresses & pez dispensers!!!!)

Boys have cooties!!! (Trying to re-do one of our engagement pics)
We played horseshoes!!! Little kid's horseshoes of course, with plastic horseshoes which ended up breaking because, obviously, we are not little kids. By the way, I beat everybody! I ended up with 3 points, Chris with 2 points, Brandon with 1 point and Katie with 0 points!!!
Then we finger painted!!! Just random stuff, I guess we don't have an imagination with this kind of stuff anymore :-)
We were supposed to end our date with otter pops, but we already had way too much junk and couldn't handle anymore. Then of course we were going to watch a little kids movie like Up or Imagine That or something, but once again, we were little kids and we set a bedtime for 10:00pm (which is a little late for kids), so we ended up going home and relaxing!!! All in all though, it was a fun date! Fun to be little kids again!!!

Amy Butler Bag!!!

Just made the cutest bag ever!!!! It's an Amy Butler bag and it's the most adorable thing ever! It took me a little bit longer than I would have thought, but it's so worth it! I am hoping to make many more and hopefully I will become more speedy the more I make!!!

The past few weeks...

COLORADO LUAU!!! My friend, Katie, and I decided to put on a Luau in Colorado hee hee!!! So we sent out invites, bought some leis, "margarita" glasses, music, etc. We made burgers and decided to add a ring of pineapple to the burgers because there wouldn't be a luau without pineapple :)  Some decided to make some waves in the pool, some decided to float in the calm water, some decided to drink "margaritas" (they are really snow cones hee hee),  and some decided to lounge in the pool with their "margaritas." It was a total blast!!!  The only bad thing is...we planned it for ten o'clock in the morning due to our work schedules!!! It actually turned out to be a very nice day! We lucked out!!! (Sorry, I didn't take any group pics)

DENVER COLORADO ZOO!!! Brandon & Chris decided to take their loved ones to the zoo just as if we were little kids! They scored with that idea though...we ad an absolute blast! It was so much fun! We got to see our penguins, elephants, TEDDY BEARS,  giraffes, monkeys, tigers, lions, heienas, peacocks, foxes etc. We probably saw one of the largest foxes. This fox was not a little guy, it was huge, it was bigger than a dog, it was more like the size of a tiger!!! I felt like a little kid all over again! I love seeing all of the different animals that people don't get to see everyday!  

This was my trip to Oregon!!! Thursday, the 4th I flew all by myself, and YES I was scared, over to Oregon. My mom and sister picked me up in Portland I rode the rest of the way with them. Friday morning I got my hair done and yes my hair now has blonde and purple in it!!! Then we had my lil tommy boy's high school graduation. I can't believe my little brother graduated :(  Then Saturday morning I went golfing with the Sharp's!!! It was so much fun! I actually did pretty well for it only being my second time.  Then we hung out at my older brother's, Mike's, house!!! My nieces made us all play in the sprinkler with them and then we just hung out. Then went to dinner with my in-laws!!! Then Sunday...went to church and then had a BBQ with our family  for my brother's graduation!!!  Point being...Oregon was so much fun and I can't wait to go back home!!!! I miss everyone so much!!!

Cutest video ever!!! I love my nieces so much, and I do not like being away for this long, they are growing up way too fast. 

This picture of Brandon and I below is not in Oregon, it's just a random Sunday picture in Colorado!!! Then the picture of me is just showing you my hair before it got blonde and purple in it!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! I know it's a little late, but I still had to blog father's day in one way or another! The top right is Dennis, he's the one who practically raised me and I am so thankful for everything he has taught me. Then we have Mont Daddy to the left, he's the best father-in-law ever! Then on the bottom left is Marve, he has taught me more of the gospel in the last few years than I have ever known in my entire life and I am so thankful for him being there for me through everything!!! Then on the bottom right is my dad, and he is very loving, yet so care free and I love him for it!!! I love all of you and hope that all of you had a wonderful father's day!!! 

New Job!!!

Finally got a new job, actually a couple of jobs. But these pics are just from one of the jobs. I work for Vector Marketing, selling Cutco knives!!! They are actually quite amazing! I didn't think they would really be that much different than any other knives, so I when I got my sample kit...of course I had to go home and try them out! I LOVE MY CUTCO KNIVES!!! I'm not just saying this because I work for them, but they really are great! I mean I have had some sharp knives before, but like I say in my presentation, "The Double D Edge works better and stays sharp longer than any other knife!" It's true!!! It doesn't smoosh my fresh, warm bread, nor does it smash my ripe tomatoes, it just cuts right through!!! 

Anyways, so what I do is set up presentations with people I know, do a presentation in their home with them, showing them how the knives work and how they differ from other kitchen cutlery, I cut up some food...I'll even make breakfast, lunch, or dinner for you showing you how the knives cut up everything and you use a different knife for different kinds and sizes of foods, obviously!!!! Then at the end of the presentation I have to get referrals from them so that I can see other people because I can't call people unless I have been personally recommended to them and they have to have given you permission to give me permission to give them a call.

So yeah, not a very easy job when you live in a city you have never even been to and the people you do get acquainted with are all from church so you just get recommended to the same people over and over again!!! So that's why I got another job!!!! But I'll stay with this one just in case somebody wants to buy!!! hehehehe
