They thought they were escaping the floods when they moved from California!

Grandma asked Caleb and I if we'd like to stay at their house this weekend when we came up to visit, because they're in Cali and wanted their newspapers brought in. It just goes to show you the inspiration given to righteous Grandma's! Look what we woke up to! A water main to the neighborhood burst in just the wrong spot so that all the water came down their driveway, rather than down the road. Caleb was the rescue party and found the main water valve to the neighborhood and got it turned off. Now we're working on getting the water out of the basement which managed to trickle in (Not a huge deal, we'll have it gone in no time) and the water in the driveway is starting to subside. Grandma, if you're reading this: Don't worry about it!! When you get home everything will be perfect again. My Mom and Dad are on their way over and so is the water-pipe-fixer-man! We love you! Thanks for letting us stay!

WOW!!!

What a crayzay couple of weeks for new motorcycles in this family! My dad, yes, Humble Uncle Bryan just had a mid-life crisis, and bought a big, powerful motorcycle. He already has leathers and thinks he's all hard-core, and he might as well have a Z-Z Top beard. welp. g'night.

Happy Birthday, Tess!

Happy Birthday, one day early--
Finally, you're old enough to get married......
and have a child........well, maybe.
You are a pretty Prego.
We're sad that you've been so sick,
such seems to be our luck in this family.
But you're almost over the first trimester hump.
Yay! Life will get better. Love ya, Gr/Gr

I think I finally got into this blog. Alena's blog is good too. I'm just going to post this and see if it works. Mel

Alena

Gr/Gr here.......(posting through Kepsel's because I still can't figure out how to get ours changed) As many of you know, Alena Kesti, who is Sam's friend, has been diagnosed with cancer. She's having to go through chemo, so this is a very difficult time for her.
Sam set up a blog for people to keep posted and also give their support.
If you would like to read of her progress, and maybe give a comment, this is it:

The Return...

Hi flamly! I finally took the time to do the google thing and now I can tell you about my crashes again! After all, 'tis the season... sowaneeway, friday night was the last night I was with my old cr125, and I decided to race. Last year I was amazuhzing in the whoop-de-doos, so during practice I decided to hit those sons-o-guns way too fast, lost it on the 3rd to last and flipped end over end over end over end over end over end, and landed in a mud puddle. Then my bike decided to land on me so I was like pounded and buried in the mud. It made an audible sucking noise when I peeled myself from the good earth, so I started laughing. Then in moto 2 I crashed on the last lap after leading the whole race. I was peeved. As many of you should know, I got a sweet new bike yesterday (saturday the 19th) so I shouldn't have any problems with losing any more...

Partee

I just thought I'd add to the new wave of posts that has been initiated here. This is a pic of Diana and I at Alena's (sam's significant other, in case you didn't know, you...you...uh, sowaneeway) party the other day.

If you don't know who Diana is, well then... I think you can figure it out.

My Most Recent Acquisition

So one vehicle was not working out super well for Jayne and I. I took it upon yours truly to aquire something with good mpg and well enjoyable. This is what I came up with. The others in the backround would be my brother's and father's. Welcome to the Kepsel family.

Our Afternoon on the Provo River

Well since this blog seems to be hurting for entertainment these days, I thought I'd share our afternoon with you. Emmy LOVED the rocks! Caleb got to catch fish, Emmy got to see Snakes and spiders and throw rocks and blow on dandelions that had gone to seed, and I got to watch her. You couldn't ask for a better afternoon:)
What did you do today? Please share

Sara here...wishing EVERY MOM a happy Mother's Day today! And Happy Birthday to my brother Jake! Oh, and Hppy anniversary to myself and Danny....

Why doesn't anyone blog anything anymore?!?!?! We used to have a new one every other day!

Happy Birthday to Joe!!!!!!! Today!!

Jayne's clastrophobic lavatory of death

Once upon a time I was sitting on Jayne's reliever of bodily product, and it came time to wipe myself clean of substance. As I was about to embark apon this necessary activity, I was horrified to find that the particular roll of importance was quite close to my being. I Became overcome by pressure and fear for my everlasting soul. You see, I couldn't quite tug on the bundle of white joy because my body was much to close, and my arm was pressed against it. My eyes got wide. My hand drew back in horror. How was I to aquire my regular 3 squares if I was much too close?! After saying a small prayer in my heart, I tried once more. I figured out that if I relax every bone and epidermis in my body, I can then reach across and recieve the proper amount without displeasure. I would like to warn people with more than 500 percent body fat that they may not and can not use this particular kamode without complete discomfort to their personal bubble. Personaly, I would rather drip dry.

The Camille Marie Hair-Cut update!

Babe-a-licious. What more can we say.

School

I'm at school. Who knows why the school computers let me access this sight, but heck, it must be fate! I am supposed to be writing a story about a family that gets lost in the woods that has twins that are rebellious, but I'm having a hard time coming up with creative ideas. Sure, my family lives in the woods, but i don't really know anything about being a rebellious character, so yeah, how will i write about it. I started on the project about 2 weeks ago and i saved it all on my jump drive, but i don't even have the drive with me, so its not like i can work on the story anyway! ha! take that!
This morning i woke up at 4:00 am with a migraine. After about 45 minutes of not being able to sleep, i got in the shower and stayed there for a loooong time. Then i curled my long hair that I'm CUTTING OFF THIS AFTERNOON AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! I am so scared, you have no idea. Last time i chopped my hair off i regretted it, so who knows why I'm doing it again. moohahah.
Okay, this has been long and way completely pointless, so i better find something else to do. like stick weird sticky notes all over the computer that say things like, "why are you reading this" and "stay away from the keyboard! It gave me turrets!! *#&!(#*!!!!!" Just kidding, i'm not destructive to school property in any way... so... Ciao!

Easter Cuteness

Well, we hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Here are Max and Lily after their egg hunt (that lasted about 6 minutes). We also found a mother hummingbird sitting on her nest, and that was the first time I've ever seen a hummingbird that wasn't in motion. She was so tiny! Ahhh, Spring! We love and miss you all, and hope many are planning on Summer trips to So. Cal.!!

The Kepsel's are still alive!

Yay! We're in Heber City and things are going great. Emmy has been practicing her sweetizzle moves on her bike, and is promising to rival even the infamous Taylor Slade someday. This other photo is our new home! Housing in Heber is almost non-existant, so when we miraculously came across this adorable little house (owned by LDS Grandparents, they're so cute) we were shocked and thrilled. We move in the 14th! Meanwhile we're with Caleb's parents and things are great.

Congratulations, Slade!

Gr/Gr: We want to congratulate Slade for becoming an official member of the Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Last Saturday he was baptized (Jordan performed--and

did a great job, by the way) and Addison confirmed. We love you, Slade!

Hey fam, this is the Abbotts.
