Field Trip Tuesday

Today while we were running errands, we decided to go to a pick and pull lot to see if they had a gas door for our car. (For those of you who haven't noticed the giant black hole on the side of our car, our gas door has been missing for nearly a year.) I had never been to a pick and pull and was amazed at the rows and rows of crappy smashed up cars. That and the people that own the lot were very interesting. The man who told us where to find what we were looking for looked like a Z Z Top wannabe. Anyway, every pick and pull lot Matt has gone to has not had any Ford Focuses. Until... today! We found a lot that had 2 silver Fords with their gas doors in tact. All we needed was a screwdriver and some skillfull prying to get what we needed. Now we can't be made fun of because of our gas door. : )

Before

The part. (Sorry other silver Ford. The car we pulled this from was basically gutted and was pretty smashed up.)

Fixed! Doesn't it look nice? Let's hope this one doesn't blow off on the freeway!

Ward Campout

As Activities Committee chairpeople, Matt and I are in charge of putting together an activity a month for our ward. This month's activity was the annual ward campout. It was a success, and luckily, there were no bears like there were last year. Being Activities Committee chairpeople, we have learned one very important lesson--buy little plates. If you are ever in charge of feeding an entire ward (which we are frequently), buy little plates so you don't run out of food. The campout was good though, and we hope that everyone had fun.

Matt and Bishop Dicou

The Jeppsons

Kevin, Claire, and Laurel Sommerfeldt, as well as the Christensens.

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

July 14th was our 2nd anniversary. To celebrate, we went up to Salt Lake, did a session in the Salt Lake Temple (which I had never done before, and which was really neat), and ate dinner at The Roof in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

This one's dedicated to you at $3 each

Disneyland

For my Grandma and Grandpa McKenzie's 50th wedding anniversary, my family (and extended family) all went to Disneyland.

Saturday: San Diego Zoo and PetCo Park

Saturday Morning we went to the San Diego Zoo, which is remarkably better than the zoo I grew up near. Rather than taking 30 minutes to walk through, it took us the whole day.

(This picture is for you Jane)

Saturday night we went to PetCo park to watch the Padres play the Mets. The Padres ended up winning in the 10th inning, 2-1. The Padres are notorious for going into extra innings, and I'm glad this one ended in 10 instead of 22.

The Big Pony Polo

This shirt is a Ralph Lauren Big Pony. Hence the giant horse on the shirt. Rather than paying full price for the shirt at Ralph Lauren, I decided to order it from ebay. To make a long story short, I thought we got scammed when I started getting emails from ebay saying that the sender was unregistered and that the transaction may have been a fraud. However, the shirt came in the mail, and no one has charged anything strange to my credit card.

Happy Birthday Matt!

Matt's Birthday was on May 31st, and he turned 24. Happy Birthday!

Next year I don't think we'll try and put more candles on a cake than we did this year.
