First Time Climb!!

Here we are ! mary took me climbing for my 20th birthday! down to MT Lemon in tuscon! it was so exciting! i never thought i'd do this! this is me rappeling, and some other pictures, like mary setting up the climb, emma climbing, slash hanging, she was pretty fearless! and dave did an awesome job! he climbed the wall twice! and he was the first to climb! what a little explorer!! hes a champ! audrey climbed the wall as well! we all did! emma didint get to the top, but she did PRETTY WELL ! i think she got more than half way. There are many more pictures on the way! it was so pretty up there, im trying to get my family to go tomarrow too. so my parents can try it! at first it was REALLY hard to rappel, just because i was very scared of heights, and i hadnt been on top of a moutain for a really long time so i wasnt used to the height! but then once i made the initial drop, once i went over the edge, i was still very scared but felt much better about it. it was scary cause there was so much below us! the climb itself wasnt so bad, its just that there were huge drops all around. pretty, but intimidating. but we did it!oh i guess there are some of me climbing, i did put those up there! cool eh?

HELLO TWENTY!

Wow. i cant believe this is the LAST time i will ever post on this blog and be 19. right now, i am 19. yah, just 19. it still sounds so young. 20 sounds like TWENTY! 20 is definatly not the same as 19. from tomarrow on, i will be in my early twenties! i cant believe this birthday snuck up so soon! today was a good day, i woke up, dan make me hashbrowns (he even made them from real potatoes) and an ommlete, and then he had to run to the store for something, and so i got ready, and then he came home and about noon we left for PF Changs, one of my favorite restaurants, and ate there with audrey, it was REALLY good too ! they gave us only chicken lo mein when we ordered the combo lo mein, so we got a whole new one free! and they gave me a free piece of Cheesecake!! i LOVE cheesecake for those of you who do not know. it is my FAVORITE dessert. it is so choice. it just melts in your mouth, its the perfect taste. dan , audrey and i thourouly enjoyed every bite! and then we went to the mall, where dan did some shopping and i walked around, and then we went to this hot air balloon thing , they had a bunch of hot air balloons on the ground blown up, so we could walk around them, and it was dark , so they would light them up, and we layed on the grass for a while and watched that, and found out that this eagle shaped balloon that looked really cool costs like 250 grand! and it only can be in the air for like 300 hours total, thats why hot air balloons are only like an hour long, crazy huh? after like 300 hours they just throw them away! and a normal hot air ballon is like 100 grand. wow. crazy. they were cool though! we had fun. then there was supposed to be a fireworks show, but we had the time wrong, we thought it would start at like 7 so we got there by like 6:30 or something, pretty early, but it ended up not starting until like 8:45, and by 7:30 it was gettin pretty chilly and we forgot a blanket, so we decided to go home, it was still cool to see them all and walk around them. Well good night. goodbye teen years. HELLO TWENTY!

OUr yard! Finally.

Hey Guys, sorry this took so long to get the pictures up! We have added 4 smaller plants since then. so i will have to take some more pictures later.
Dan had to sift like all of our dirt to get the rocks out, and i was a good wheelbarreler because i am shorter than dan.
