T-Train' 4th Birthday Party

aren't birthday's the best. so i attended taylor's 4th birthday party today and it was a hoot to see how much fun she was having. as you can see she is very much into princess stuff. she was all dressed up - like Ariel from the little mermaid! her parents hold a pretty big bash for her party; where adults and youngsters alike get to play. they hold a 2-on-2 basketball tourney and a 2-on-2 badminton tourney. unfortuntaly the rain put a damper on the ball tourney, but some of us hard core badmintion players decided to play in the rain anyways. last year sara mortensen and i took the championship. this year i had to find a ringer partner to play with cuz sara was unable to attend. so uncle (that would be taylor's uncle) jim and i got paired up to play together. we
were excited to play, as you can see. the game was an intense and fast paced one - and regardless how good we look in the pictures we lost 15-17....bummer! i was looking very forward to winning the award again this year. next year i guess! birthday's- so much fun!

also another very enjoyable thing in life is caribou coffee. i am addicted to it. i spent a couple hours there this morning before church drinking a large white chocolate mocha while trying to get some school work down. i figured i wouldnt get much school work done tonight and for some reason i get distracted at home so caribou it was!

so who out there is a US Open fan? I am.; especially when the final game is andy roddick and roger federer playing. so i spent my late afternoon on the floor in front of the TV. i loved it. i get so into it and was cheering on andy big time. i do like roger and the fact that the dude is inbeatable...but andy - come on! He's a stud. but like my badminton game the turn out was not what i wanted and roddick fell to federer in four games. i think i like watching tennis more than i like wathing basketball- ok, sometimes...not all the time. this afternoon was one of those times. someday i think i'll get tickets and go to the US Open. any volunteers that want to buy me the tickets?????? smiles around.
