School . . .

"So who are the people who are crazy enough to be taking Human Anatomy AND Human Physiology . . . ." I then raised my hand with one other girl across the room. "Wow ..." My professor said as I received looks of pity from fellow students.

THAT is how my semester started. And This is how it will continue, it should be an interesting one :)

I am just letting you know ahead, I wont be posting for the next 4 months pretty much. I will hopefully find time to browse your blogs. Maybe Joseph can do some posts :)

See you around Christmas!

Water Bottles?

I Love Water Bottles.
I take my water bottle to school almost everyday. I once turned around when I was almost to work because I forgot my water bottle. . . (maybe a little obsessive?)
Anyway, my beautiful Green camelbak water bottle broke today. I guess it was ok because I was in need of a new one after hearing all of that news on a chemical which is released from plastic when it is heated and causes cancer . . .
Apparently the plastic my water bottle is made out of is one of those plastics. What are the good numbers again, Mom? I know she will comment . . . hopefully.
So I am wondering who knows of a good water bottle I should try? The Sigg bottles intrigue me, because I would love to design my own. But they seem odd and would be uncomfortable to drink out of? Any recommendations?
Does anyone else understand where I am coming from or do I seem crazy ha ha?

CA and AZ


Sleeping on the beach in Carlsbad was a lot of fun. Even though I really didnt swim, I enjoyed the beach, card games, inn n out burger, running while over looking the beach, and smores while laughing around the campfire.
I LOVE this picture of Jack
Sophia came with her parents (Brad and Cynthia) and Bryce, to come and visit us. Her Daddy has great B-Ball skills and won this HUGE Shamu for her at Sea World :)
Sandy Samuel


Sandy JackI got to spend a lot of fun time with Jack and I really miss him!
I loved going on the Pier, there were so many fisherman and we were lucky to find this kid who had a starfish on his line. I haven't ever seen one so big.
And of course, daring little Samuel wanted to climb up the sides
I would love to go back again next year, I was thinking this would be a great vacation for the VanCott Fam. You have Campsites that are all next to eachother and you just walk down the street to get to the ocean. Your campsite overlooks the beautiful ocean.Following CA we went to AZ and of course had fun in the 117 degree weather.
Sophia and Isaak showed off their new swimming skillsAnd played chicken fight, although I don't think Sophia new the strategyBecause Isaak and Sophia are only like 6 months apart, they tend to fight. They are so much better about "playing nicely" now, but while I was walking down the hall I heard some arguing so I thought I would go and break it up. Isaak was in a box shaking his head and Sophia was telling him, "Get out, its my turn, its my turn!" I then said, in a similar manner, "No its my turn." They both looked at me with smurks on their faces and said, all giggley, "No, your too big ha ha, you cant." Im not sure why, but it felt as though they were mocking me. "Pshhh, whatever I am too big. Whatch this!" Isaak jumped out and I strategically sat in the box. They both had surprised looks when I said, "See" before I knew it, Isaak said "I want to get in too" and was climbing in. Of course Sophia joined us and my mom walked by as we were all laughing and took a picture.

I got this adorable picture of Noah, while we were playing the wii. Cute little Bryce slept so much while we were there, I didn't get a picture of him.
I loved my break from Arkansas, but wished Joseph could have come too. We will see you all soon!
