Brooke White Fans

Hey folks,

Tyson here. I was on i Tunes the other day and I stumbled across a little album some may be interested in. Brooke White from American Idol has an album available on i Tunes. I know a lot of people were fans of hers, so maybe check it out. Mandy would however like everyone to know she is NOT a Brooke White fan. I however was a HUGE fan of American Idol this season and I was a huge fan of the top 7. Michael Johns-Fantastic, Archuleta-Amazing, Cook-Great, Carly Smithson-Awesome, Syesha-seen it before but good, Jason Castro-I would get his album, Brooke White-Like it.

Great season and I look forward to next year. What am I going to TiVo now?

St. George Weekend!

This past weekend, Ty, my Mom and Dad and I, all headed down to St. George for my cousin Kimmies wedding. We had a lot of fun in the short time we were down there. It was all a bit strange however for a couple reasons, A. it was freaking cold! Unacceptable when you were planning on getting a tan for another wedding this weekend. B. My Grandma used to have a place in Washington but they sold it recently, we've always had a place to go in good old St. George, but this weekend we had to stay in a hotel, it was weird. I get enough of hotels with my job, it would've been nice to stay somewhere that I had memories and that was "homey" but it was still fun.



Here is a pic of Ty and I on the ride down, for those of you who don't know, I come from a family of singers, so we love Broadway! Tyson however, HATES listening to Broadway, even though he too comes from a singing family. Needless to say, we listened to Broadway shows pretty much the whole way down there, mostly BIG the musical, because my mom had just tried out for the show at Hale Centre Theatre, so she was showing us the songs. (She got the part she wanted by the way, Mrs. Baskins, so go see her in it, It opens July 29.) Ånyway, Ty pretty much wanted to jump out of the car, and this face shows it a bit.


Here is my beautiful cousin Kim, and my cutest ever pregnant cousin Annie. I don't get to see these girls very much, with Kim living in St. George and Annie living in Kansas, and I love them both tons, so I was really excited to see them.


Ty and I with the beautiful bride. Ty was so cute, he told Kim that she had graduated from the "hot" cousin as we've called her to the beautiful cousin. Isn't he the best?


Annie Kimmie and I, full body shot. you can kind of see Annies cute belly!


Ty and my dad kissing my mom, I had to post this one, its just fun!


My other cousin Holly and I, she was back in the kitchen most of the night taking care of refreshments, so she wasn't in a lot of the pics.It was good to see her too, we lived together in St. George when we both went to Dixie 9 years ago, that was one of the best years of my life, we made a lot of great friends and had some good times! I probably had too much fun since I never went to school, but I grew up and learned a lot about myself.

All in all it was a fun weekend, I'm glad I took some pictures so that I had something to blog about! You'll even get another one after this weekend, Tys sister Vanessa is getting married! Hooray for having something to blog about!!

Utah Jazz

Folks, the Jazz on the road "argument" has become a little overplayed and not only fans but sports media will be surprised at some of the stats i'm about to share.

Now lets begin with our Win/Loss before January and the additon of Kyle Korver. In the 1st half of the season Jazz won 6 games on the road and lost 13 games on the road. Since the addition of Korver some very significant road wins have been against teams like Boston, New Orleans, Houston, Washington, Denver and Phoenix. Also since the addition of Korver our road record is 10 wins/11 losses. That is a significant improvement considering some of the teams we did beat on the road. We beat most of the teams that count on the road this year. Here is a list of teams that count that we beat on the road this year. Boston, Detroit, Orlando, Houston, Denver, Washington, Phoenix and New Orleans.

These things being said our defensive strategy against teams like the Spurs and Lakers is the only thing that makes me nervous. The key to beating either the Spurs or Lakers is DEFENSE!!! And if I may say the Jazz have been palying very good D as of late.

The Jazz have the 3rd best statistical PG in the league, D Will. D Will is the best all around PG in the league in my opinion. 1 of the top 5 best PF, Boozer. 1 of top 10 Centers in the league, Memo Okur. 3 of the best 3 pt shooters, Memo, Korver and D Will. 3 of the feistiest defenders, Harpring, Kirilenko and Brewer. 2 great slashers, Kirilenko and Brewer. Millsap, Boozer and Memo bangin the boards. WE ARE A COMPLETE PACKAGE!!! If we keep the players we have, and pick up a solid backup PG in the offseason, (we should have kept Dee Brown, FYI he's an allstar in europe right now, the Utah Jazz could be the next Lakers, the next Bulls and get some repeat RINGS baby!!!

We all know we're always good at home. Here's some significant home losses we should be aware of. At home this year we lost to Houston, Boston and Lakers, among a few others that at this point in the season we don't need to worry about.

The KEY to the RING for the Jazz this year is DEFENSE. Especially against the Spurs and or the Lakers. They do that, they can win a ring. We have the best fans in the league and Energy Solutions Arena was crowned as the hardest arena to play at in the NBA. The Jazz CAN win on the road and have been since January. Keep in mind we have beaten most of the best teams on the road. FEAR the UTAH JAZZ!!!

Boycott?

Friends, please don't boycott our blog because we haven't yet posted a video post! We have been very busy with work, for those of you that don't know, I recently started working with the same company Ty works for. So we are both gone 4-5 days a week, so when we're home we're doing laundry, visiting family and friends and playing with daisy. But we will make time this next week to at least answer a couple of your questions! I promise! thanks for checking up and we'll have a new post soon!

Questions?

Dear friends,

I have decided that Mandy and I will give a once a week video post, but heres the catch, you people get to submit the questions to us.  All questions will be answered honestly and done in video form...mostly because I don't know what to blog about and am ultimately lazy.  So if you have any questions for us please submit them via comment and they will be included in next weeks video blog.  This way I don't bore people who don't think Star Wars is cool...losers!!!  Regan, I know you can come up with some good ones.

Tyson

HELP

Alright fellow bloggers, clearly St. Patricks day is over and I need to change my background. However, last time I changed my background it got rid of all of my extras on the side ie fellow bloggers, and jack handy, How do I change the background this time and keep those on? 

STAR WARS: The Clone Wars, Episode 2.5

Well, look what I found, Christmas come early for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Tyson obviously.  For those who dont know, I am a huge STAR WARS fan.  This, to be honest, turned me way on!!!  I am counting the days.

Happy St. Patricks Day

Well, due to the fact that my life is pretty uneventful, as I promised it would be, I figured that for those of you who actually check my blog, I'd change my background for you. This way it seems like something new and exciting will be on here, but really I've fooled you all by making it green. You're welcome, and Happy St. Patricks Day!

A Kauai Christmas

Well because my life isn't interesting in the least bit, I decided I'd post some photos of our trip to Kauai over Christmas, cause that was interesting! We had a wonderful time with Tysons family, they are wonderful people! I'll post a few pics of our favorite times!

This is at Spouting Horn, it was pretty awesome to watch the water being forced into a lava tube, and be shot up in the air up to 50 feet. This one clearly isn't 50 feet, but its still beautiful none the less.

This is Ty and I before we left for our date night. (one out of the two times we got ready in Hawaii!)

This is of the Na Pali Coast, truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen

Here is a pic of one of the many pods of dolphins that were swimming along side our boat for awhile. For those of you who don't know, I love dolphins, I used to want to be a Marine Biologist just so I could work with them, clearly that didn't work out. So now my dream is to swim with the dolphins, one day I know that'll come true!

Here we are on the beach, for the first time in my 26 years of life, I almost felt comfortable in a bathing suit! It goes to show that if you work hard to improve your self-image and body, many blessings come, like wearing a bikini and not totally looking like a beached whale!!

Christmas Eve at our beautiful dinner at the Princeville Hotel.

This is a picture of the beautiful pearl ring Ty bought me for Christmas, although we agreed that going to Kauai and all the activities we did there was going to be Christmas. He always spoils me and the poor guy gets the short end of the stick, I'll make up for it one day!

Here I am mad that Ty spent that much money on me when we said we weren't going to spend any!!
My beautiful sisters in law Laurel and Vanessa, I always wanted sisters and never got them until I married Ty, I truly am blessed, these two girls are amazing and two of my best friends!
Here are the men doing manly things at Queens Bath.


Ness, Laurel and I learning to Hula at the Luau.

Ty and I cheesing it up Brennan style at the luau.

Brennan and Barrett showing us how to really cheese it up Brennan style. (Brens the one in the red) Quick story about Brennan style, whenever Brennan tells a lie, you ask him after if he's telling a lie and he always says no then makes pretty much that exact face he's making in the pic! Man I love those boys!

Ty and I getting ready to go on our Zip N' Dip. Yes, yes it is true, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick were there at the same time we were, not in our same group or else I totally would have pictures to prove it! I acted like the cool person who didn't recognize them, just stalked them through a window whilst I pretended to look at snack foods, OH YEAH! I'm good

Ty and Laurel having a blast during the dip portion of our trip!

Here is the whole gang, minus my beautiful mother in law Jillene who was taking the picture. All in all, it was a wonderful trip, and I have to give a shout out to the big man, Kim, my fabulous father in law for paying the bill for most of the trip! It was indeed one of the best vacations ever, and one of the best Christmases ever!
Now I can't wait for more vacations, I really want to go on one with my family, so I'm really prayin for you Nate to make a cruise ship, not only because you're a fabulous performer, but because its a guaranteed trip and new post! You got this little bro!
