Twilight Mania!

After spending my lunch hour getting my haircut and talking to my stylist about the 'Twilight' series, I thought I better blog about my love for a teenage vampire named Edward. For those of you that have read the series, you know what I am talking about. For those of you that don't, just read the books! A vampire, thriller, love story . . . how can you go wrong!

Wendy and I make an Edward sandwich. She also loves Edward.

Danny loves Edward . . . .

but not as much as me. :-)

Scot as my real life Edward.

Good Times in McCall!

Okay - get ready for a rush of updates to this blog and a renewed interest in keeping it up to date. Special thanks to Laura and Danny for pushing me to get back into blogging.

Scot's cabin in McCall has been a fun retreat for friends and a great place to 'get away from it all'. I wanted to share some of the highlights from this fall and winter.
Alice Mogensen goes wild at the cabin! (Oct. 2008)

Matt Wolff breaks in the cabin by breaking into the vodka! (Jan. 2009)

I look a little crazy here but I am loving every minute of it! (Jan. 2009)

Happy Holidays!

It has been too long since I have posted to this little blog. So to ward off the cobwebs forming on this site I am sending a Christmas wish to you all!
I pray your spirit is light with hope,
your heart is filled with joy,
and your holiday is blessed with the glory of God.

Merry, Merry!

The Amazing Schmoops

Halloween was in full swing during the BFBL (Beer Frame Bowling League) last Thursday night. Who would have thought mild mannered Scot led a secret life as 'The Amazing Schmoops'. He comes to the rescue when there is trouble around (or beer abounds). Special skills include: dazzling people with his red cape and blond superhero helmet hair, bowling strikes, and dance moves. Scot's video has officially gone 'viral' and can be seen on You Tube (special thanks to Kevin Walter for this one).

Yes mom, that really is my boyfriend. :-)

A road trip, a game, a long ride home!

When BSU plays University of Oregon at Autzen Stadium, you better believe there are going to be some road trippin' Broncos. Scot and Sarah (AKA Dopko-Schmoops), the Walter's and the Dahlberg's hit the road for Eugene. Broncos beat the Ducks in a major upset and Danielle and Mike had their first official weekend away from Keaton. Trip highlights included: the fantastic driving skills of Kevin Walter (he drove the whole way, there and back), a HUGE Bronco win, hanging out with Kyle Wilson's dad at the bar after the game, Danielle walks the drive thru at McDonald's and a LONG ride home for Sarah.

The gang at the game!

Where's Scot? Can you spot him?

Insert Scot here.

Girlfriend's Birthday

I have to say, I have the coolest bunch of gal pals! In our endless pursuit to find reasons to get together, eat good food, drink wine and hang out we have instituted GIRLFRIEND'S BIRTHDAY! Basically we throw ourselves a party and celebrate everyone's birthday all at once. It was so fun! Thanks Laura and Kelley for hosting.
