Elia's Life

Okay, this rodeo was awesome as usual. Too bad for all of you who missed it. Then again, we didn't have room for you anyway. :) Other than that, enjoy the pictures. I know they're a little blurry, but hey, how good can you do taking action shots at dusk from a mile away. So enjoy and compliment. This part of the flag ceremony was in honor of fallen soliders. It was really cool. This is the rodeo clown. He was fantastic. This is the rodeo clown again. I promise his horse knew what they were doing. So here are the pictures, hopefully there are no doubles, if there are, enjoy them anyway!

Wednesday I decided that I needed a movie day. I had arranged with Dave to go to Mamma Mia at ten (it was a holiday on Thursday so I could stay out late) so I decided to make a day of it and go to a seven o’clock movie as well. So I decided to go to “Get Smart” again. It’s really a funny movie and I recommend that everyone see it. The first time Mom and I went to see it, I was laughing so hard and so loud that she was embarrassed. Well, I was a little worried that the only reason I liked it so much was because I was excessively tired that day and even “Love Guru” would have been funny, thankfully, that wasn’t the case. It’s a really funny movie. I haven’t ever really watched the TV show. I think I saw one episode once and it must have been a little later in the series because 99 was pregnant. So if whether or not the movie is faithful to the TV show, I couldn’t tell you. But I will tell you the top reasons to go and see it. 1. Dwayne Johnson (aka the Rock). Not only is he go...

Okay, I have decided to add a new feature to my blog. I like to keep track of the movies I see. This is mainly because I think it’s really cool how many movies I see in the theater (okay, Mom is usually there too.) Normally I do this by always paying with debit card so that the title is written in my check register. Well, the other day a co-worker told me that I should start a blog where I review movies. Seeing that I already have a blog and people already complain that I don’t post enough on, I thought I would go ahead and start posting movie reviews there. Annette, I apologize for the inconvenience of scrolling down past all the words that will begin appearing on my blog. To the rest of you who only look at my blog for the pictures, that apology is for you as well. Not to worry, I will still post pictures when I have them, but in the meantime, I will be writing movie reviews. So hopefully someone other than Mom will read and enjoy these. Remember, the more comments I receiv...

Okay, I have to clarify that I am blogging under duress. First of all, Mom told me I had to. Now, it's between blogging and watching the Osmond's Pioneer Day concert with the tab choir, so here I am blogging. We really did have a great time on pioneer day. That's one thing that I definitely enjoy about living in Utah over living somewhere else. It's a fun holiday, and getting it off work doesn't hurt either. In the morning we went down to the Salt Lake City parade. Mom and I didn't really do anything to celebrate last year, if I remember correctly, I wasn't feeling good that day, so we decided to make up for it this year. It was a really fun parade, as it most always is. I think it's cool that they still do floats, really fancy ones actually. I think a lot of them are professional done, and that's cool. So here are pictures from the event. I'm not going to comment on them because that's what takes so long for me to blog and I hear that people...

So I lied, I am going to do some more pictures. I could have sworn I already posted these, but I couldn't find them, so I guess I didn't. I did go through them, so that must have been what I was thinking. Anyway, over Memorial Weekend, Alita, Annette and I went to Colorado and met Coleman, Roni and family at the cabin. This was my third time, and I have to say, I'm a little hurt that Coleman and Roni managed to go there without me this weekend. :) Anyway, one day that we were there, we spend touring Rocky Mountain National Park. So here are some pictures from that. We tried to go up to the lake that we have been to twice before, but this time the darn thing was still frozen over. We hiked what we could, but I was the only one who had any traction on my shoes and seeing that I'm a wimp, we were all unprepared for walking on packed snow. So we went in search of bluer skies. Who says I'll never find a man while wearing a bandanna. This was the lake we went to next....
