Since I was 4.

My family and I spent our weekend in Mammoth.  And we went skiing.  Not water skiing.  Snow skiing.  Yes.  My my family went skiing on the holiday often thought of as the beginning of summer.  Forget the beach.  Ha.  It was my first time skiing in at least two, probably three, years despite the fact I spent the past two winters of my life in a place with the "greatest snow on earth" as described by the state's license plates seen below.

P.S.  This design of the Utah license plate is definitely my favorite of all the variations.  

Back to skiing.  I LOVE it.  I forgot how fun it was.  I've learned to ski when I was four.  So logic would tell you that I should be pretty good 15 years later.  Lies.  Growing up, I was a big fan of speeding down the easy slopes instead of trying harder things.  But this trip I tried to challenge myself.  Haha.  Skiing is quite the workout when you actually have to try.  :)  May 30 was an EXCELLENT ski day.  Not too cold or windy.  Fresh 10 inches from the weekend.  Not crowded at all.  Pretty close to perfect.  :)

In other news...

Breaking news:  My six-year-old sister just lost a tooth.  And it is currently literally lost.  We can't find it.  :)

A word of advice:  Never take an astronomy class.  It is highly dangerous because you will be forevermore distracted by the stars at night.  While driving to and from Mammoth, all I wanted to do was look at the stars especially because we were in the middle of nowhere and it was super dark.  Unfortunately I was driving and couldn't stare for too long.  

If I could have any car, I would get a Dodger blue Toyota Camry.  The newest model.  I love them.  Yes, I know.  It's a strange pick for a dream car.  But I've recently decided that I also want a Jeep.  Or a pale blue convertible bug.  Both are perfect summer cars.  Luckily I won't have to decide any time soon due to insufficient funds.  :)

The other day I was driving one of the kids I babysit home.  His aunt works for the Dodgers so we were talking about her getting me a job with the Dodgers.  A little background information:  This kid is eight and is half Mexican but doesn't speak Spanish.  Thus, his aunt is Mexican.  He told me if I wanted a job I would have to ask his aunt in Spanish if she could get me a job.  I told him that luckily I spoke Spanish.  In disbelief, he told me to say something along the lines of "Can you get me a job with the Dodgers?" in Spanish to prove my fluency.  So I did.  After hearing my Spanish, he exclaimed, "You don't even look Mexican!"  Hahahahaha.  Gotta love those kids.  

Last funny story.  Yesterday, my mom and I were picking weeds in the front yard.  Grant was helping us.  My mom kept getting poked by some of the plants.  Grant then said, "Pokies don't kill me.  They don't have a gun.  Just a sword."  Hahahahhahaha.  That kid is a crackup.  And quite intelligent.  Of course "pokies" have swords because they are sharp.  :)  After laughing a whole lot, I said, "That was a good one, Grant."  With a straight face, he replied, "Thank you, Bridget".  :)

In sports news:  The Dodgers are on fire.  They've won two in a row.  And they've finally learned how to score runs.  It's quite miraculous.  I'm quite pleased.  :)

That's it.  Have a good day.  :)
