Disney Princess Quiz


According to the answers you have just chosen you are most like the Disney Princess Pocahontas. Pocahontas, the beautiful daughter of Chief Powahatan, is a playful free spirited young woman who knows every tree waterfall and wild creature in her forest home. With a name that means little mischief. Pocahontas loves adventure and excitement. Her curiosity and Independence make her a strong girl whose passionate spirit touches and changes all those who know her. You defy convention and sometimes do what is considered taboo. Unfortunately, others do not always appreciate your differences, so it's good that you are so strong-willed. You are loyal and you believe in fate.

Funny, Right? What Disney Princess Are You?

Another Crazy Week


Well, this week was as crazy as the last one. We got to Bear Lake on Wednesday. Cameron mowed Grandma Parker's lawn like normal, we went home, and then we went and played coed and men's league softball. This week Cameron had his first experience umpiring legion baseball. He did the game on Thursday night, and then he did most of the tournament games that weekend. I was forced to take over as the unofficial director of the tournament, me, crazy right!:) I took score all day and ran the mechanics of the tournament, while Cameron umpired the games. Saturday, we had a really crazy thing happen. Nate was coming home (home plate:)) and the catcher had the ball and came up the line. It happened so fast! Nate and the catcher from Jackson collided. The kid held up the ball and then had a seizure! BreAnna Crane called 911 while I sprinted up the hill to unlock the gate for the ambulance! They took him to the hospital for a cat scan and observation. He came back to the park about four hours later! Obviously the kid got defensive MVP, anyone who holds onto the ball while seizing is a good player in my book! Spencer Smedley got best all-around player, he had a great tournament. A kid from Burley got Offensive MVP and Burley won the tournament. Cameron did a great job as the official, it was funny seeing him in his getout, as you can see. We both had fun, even though the medical emergency was kind of crazy!

P.S. I think I am going to make my blog private. We had a crazy post that was a little scary, so I think we will go private, even though I don't want to. If you visit this blog at all send me your e-mail and I will add you! Thanks!

What I Have Been UP To

I took on a project that turned out to be bigger that I had planned for. It is finally finished. I decided that our bed turned out so well that I would wood burn fly boxes for our dads and grandpas for father's day. I also tied flies for the boxes. Well here they are, done and delivered!:)

Sparks Family Reunion and Knutti Family Picknick

This week we went to Cameron's mom's family reunion at the Caribou ranger station. Just to give you a background, most of the uncles and cousins were born and raised in Salt Lake, we were camping in the middle of no where, there was no running water, no cell phone service, and they all had toys that they let their little kids drive, I'm talking five-year-olds driving four-wheelers. It started off nuts and that is how it was the entire time. We were the first ones up there, and we got lost. The Google map his uncle sent us had us taking an old overgrown logging road. We got there, finally after asking two people for directions, and were covered with mosquitoes as soon as we got out of the car. We got everything ready and made dinner, tinfoil dinners and grilled corn on the cob, most of his family got there late. The next day we went on four-wheeler rides a lot to escape from the craziness! We went up to the old china town Caribou City. It was really cool to hear the history. We went fly fishing, and I caught my first fish, it wasn't much but I still thought it was cool. It was so hot and we were by Palisades, so we went and jumped off the bridge to cool off. We got back and went for an evening four-wheeler ride. We saw four elk, a cute little skunk, a fox, a moose, and six little sheep dog puppies. The next day we shot guns. I learned to shoot a shotgun, it was way fun. It was also fun for grandpa Sparks to be able to teach the Utah kids how to shoot. Then we drove down and jumped off the bridge again. Then that night we stayed to eat Cameron's uncle Justin's awesome elk steak. It was amazing! We drove to Alpine, Wyoming to shoot fireworks. We only stayed because we were begged. So we went and it was a mess! As soon as we all got there Cameron's cousin Savanna locked her little two year old brother in his aunt's car with the keys in it. We spent about an hour trying to get him out, but we eventually had to call the police. Then his uncle didn't even light off his fireworks, we just went back to camp. The whole week we waited for grandpa's stories, but no one would listen to them when he tried so he didn't tell any. The next day, after a lot of drama, we left. It was a heck of a weekend! We had most of our nice stuff either broken or damaged, and there was a lot of disrespect. On top of everything else I had the worst allergies I have ever had. My face was so swollen and my lips looked like Angelina Jolie's, no joke. Cameron says we are never going to another reunion, but in a few days they will just be funny memories, I hope! We did have fun doing us stuff, but it was not worth all the stuff we had to put up with. In contrast, Saturday we went to the Knutti family barbecue. It was a complete opposite of the last reunion. We had fun just sitting and shooting the breeze. I love just being able to sit and talk with no pressure or lectures, but all families are different.

One Year Anniversary


Today is our one year anniversary. So for those of you that were not there, here is some pictures of the wedding. We were married in the Logan Temple. We held a ring ceremony before our reception in the Oregon Trail Center. We went on our honey moon to Park City, UT. Ok, know that I have given the outline of what happened one year ago I can say how this year has gone. It has honestly been the hardest year of my life, so far. We both have had a lot of trials we have had to deal with. I know that I couldn't have made it through without Cameron. He is my everything. It is so great being able to be around my best friend all the time. I love that we lived the American love story. I have had him there so long that I just plug him into all the memories he wasn't there for. He had been such a blessing in my life. I love him with all my hart and can't wait to see what another year brings for us.
