Quite the Game of Catch-Up

So, I was just putting some pics on the computer and realized that I hadn't blogged about any of them! These are some good times, and why blog if you're not gonna post all your fun photos?! Anyway, here they are...

This is the free meal that Rich won for correctly

answering a trivia question at one of the many

baseball games we went to in St. George over Spring Break.

Here he is on the fence at Tyson's track mete...

We didn't want to pay to get in. This is what the

cheap seats look like, my friends!

Here I am celebrating the end of the track mete

in all of my beautiful glory...don't I look special?!

Here's the running man! Go Tyson!

Yes, there is a bear in the back of that truck!

Eating sushi at Tona on 25th Street in Ogden, courtesy

of a gift card from my pops. Thanks, Dad!

That table was full of delicious sushi at one point, but

Jeremy & Michaela helped us stuff our faces with it!


Jenkins met up w/ us later, so of course we went to
Cold Stone...it was worth it just to see those workers
sing and dance! hahaha


Don't worry, I'm just getting ready to stab Richard
with my fork at the Dodo after the amazing Saturday
morning session of General Conference...what's new?!

Vogue!

So, this year is a special one...I'm graduating from college, my sister Sarah is graduating from high school, and my sister Chelsea just got her braces off (which is pretty special, too!). We decided to celebrate all the excitement by having my good buddy Shannon take some pictures of us. They pretty much turned out AWESOME! Thanks Shannon!!! So, here is a sneak peak of our photo shoot. I'm only giving a sneak peak because I have to let my sisters and mom see them before the rest of the world hahaha

~Paying it Forward~

Here is how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a homemade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment here write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or cut and paste... no one will judge you, 'cause that is what I did). Then come back and let me know you are going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift. You can email your address to me at rachy_p@msn.com. Remember only the first 3 will qualify. Good Luck!!!

It's Business Time!

Hopefully by now everyone knows who Flight of the Conchords are, but in case you don't I am going to introduce them to you right now. Rich and I discovered them sometime last year, and we love them to death! I'd seen this video before, but Heidi just emailed it to me, and I busted up when I watched it again. I wanted to share the laughs with the rest of you, too. I'd say "I hope you like it," but I don't have to because I KNOW you'll LOVE it. Especially if you're married. Its funny because its TRUE! hahaha you all know it!

We're baa-aack!

That's right, we're back!!! The laptop died what seems like forever ago, but we finally got a new computer yesterday--she's a beauty! Anyway, I'm psyched to put some pictures up because we've actually done some CRAZY-FUN things lately! I'm just gonna get right to the pictures. Probably the most fun we've ever had, just so you know!

~THE CRUISE~

Super excited for our first excursion!

Richard made friends w/ our

spanish-speaking guide, of course.

You could find us dancing in the club after we

wowed the crowd w/ our karaoke talents!

Welcome to St. Thomas!

Best weather I've ever experienced in December!

It was a virgin, and it was FABULOUS!

Why not? We were on vacation!

Kinda looks like a postcard, huh?!

We'd be great pirates!

Ok, so we didn't find this REAL starfish,

but the people who did let us take pictures w/ it!

We thought renting a scooter would be fun.

The ride along the coast was beautiful!

But we soon discovered that the brakes were no good.

And I had to hike it up this HUGE hillside

because our scooter was a peice of junk! I was FURIOUS!

It didn't take long to get happy again.

Look at that view!

Back to the Mother Ship.

I think everyone's favorite night was the

Chocoholic's buffet!

I know mine was! It was HEAVEN!

Happy New Year! We started 2009 right!

Rich, me and Dad going snorkling.

The end of the perfect week!

No shoes, no shirt, no problems...well, Rich

had to wear a shirt most of the time because

of his skin tone, but you know what I mean!

And then, just when I thought life couldn't get

any better... we went to...

CELINE DION

She was AMAZING!

Who am I?!

My favorite girls ready for the show of a lifetime!

Not sure why we can never seem to figure out

how to buy 7 tickets sitting TOGETHER, but

it didn't really matter. We all had fun!

I feel like we waited forever for this moment...

It was worth every second!

Rach found me in that HUGE crowd!

Not sure what song this was, but I know I loved it!

We were screaming. This was after I stopped crying haha!

Do I love Celine? YES!

Top night! Seriously the best girls night ever!
