Viktoria's Birthday

Long story short, Viktoria, myself and a few friends were supposed to celebrate her big 25 in Vegas at the Celine Dion show. Well to our dismay it was cancelled and Vik's dreams of seeing her live were squashed. I thought that if we couldn't go to Celine then she might as well come to us. Yes this celebration was a little ghetto/homemade/cheesy but hey it's the thought that counts. And how many people can say they went to a fake Celine Dion concert for their 25th birthday??

Enjoy the pics!

Bryce your fav introducing the show.

CJ loving the red carpet too much. Not a surprise.

The Lewis' love Viktoria (Lynette, Jennie, Taryn and CJ)

The audience.

Our guest of honor.

The Celine shirt came thanks to Grandma Smoot. She reminded me that it was 40 dollars:)

Smiley face is Adam.

My guy friends are always trying to hit on Jennie.

Dr. Di, Trailer Park Woman

So remember when I asked for some pajamas and you gave me your Mickey Mouse moo-moo? Well I don't really wear it but it proved to be a useful garb tonight after some hot-tubbing. My roommates said I look like a pioneer woman who had to get up in the middle of the night to milk the cows. I'd like to think that I am a doctor (Dr. Quinn) who has to get up in the middle of the night to save a patient. My trucker hat and cowgirl boots really add some charm:)

White Elephant

I felt like I participated in a dozen of these parties last month but this one was my favorite. Since I was the only Lewis representative at the Smoot gathering I thought you'd like a little preview. Leave it to your family to get a little PG-13:)

Of course I got stuck with this...finding Nemo wood thingy. How innocent:)

High School Never Ends...

Who needs a job when you win the Division II BYU Intramural Football Championship, get the coveted t-shirt, and have a harem by your side? Poopstain looks pretty successful without one. Speaking of, it looks like somebody is on his way to a GF by Christmas. You gotta admit that things are looking really great since he quit that job:)


Love your snarky daughter.

Weekend in a Ghost Town

Hey Mom hey! So guess what I was doing a few weeks ago? Working on a little film project as per usual.

And hanging with Jerusalem friends while doing it. So long story short my friend who is a film student wanted to make a fan trailer for a new book that was coming out. It's bestseller and the author is actually a BYU professor. Anyway, I'm proud to say that I secured this sweet and free location in Kanab with a little ingenuity and a lot of help from Google. It's an old movie set/ghost town. It was actually used for several episodes of Gunsmoke so super legit, right? And also super dilapidated but I guess perfect for what we were doing.











We had a ton of fun and the best part was that it was only a weekend and pretty renegade style-my favorite. Below is a pic of Stevo. I convinced him that the best birthday present in the world would be for him to write his autobiography and give it to me. He's one of those friends who has amazing stories like getting a free trip to Europe paid for by a uber shady guy from Italy that he met on his mission that goes by four different names. Or one of my personal favs was when he hung out with a homeless guy for a day. That could probably be a book in and of itself. So anyway we did a little photo session to get the cover of his book. Looks like a guy you'd want to hear stories from right??


All in all it was a kick butt weekend and here's the final product:

Halloween

Well I had two costumes this year. For work I was a polygamist (oh my gosh my office almost won the contest....even though the head of HR did say we were "wildly irreverent" we were definitely the company favorite) and for fun I was the one and only Justin Bieber. Too bad it's not an election year. I love those uber female politicians and I think I've got great hair for Michele Bachmann.

I've only got a pic of the first costume. What a shame;(

Which one is the boy?

Don't know if you already saw pics of this yet but I thought it was worth posting. They're both sooooo cute!

The Dirty Dash

Hey Mom Hey!

So the Dirty Dash is basically what it sounds like...a race in the mud. We had about 30 on our team and together tried to channel never-nudes from Arrested Development for our outfits. There were dozens of us!! I know you won't get that pop culture reference but just think of any form of jean cut-offs which provided the perfect opportunity to run in my overalls. Anyway, enjoy the pics. CJ was in this too. We tried to make it a family event but Jennie was studying as per usual.

Dirty Di

Let's just say someone thought he was going to be wheel-barreled the whole way because of an injury. I don't think it lasted more than a few hundred yards.

Now you see him...

Now you don't.

Pretty sure the Slater's wouldn't approve of Tyler's outfit.

Oh and here is the new girl of CJ's dreams.....

Red Rock Relay

Mom,

CJ and I participated in a 180 mile, 12 person team relay from Brian Head to Zions. The experience was a blur but so much fun. And I'm soooo happy that the intense runners let a really slow jogger join them. Anyway, was anyone on our team surprised that Collin (it was a Brick Oven group) was wearing this as part of his running attire?? Not in the least.

Still hoping our family can do one of these some day...maybe with more clothes on:)

Di

This was the finish line with half the team. Pretty sweet location.
