Africa

AFRICA. One of the most incredible experiences of my life. I really don't know where to begin, it's quite overwhelming actually.

We were able to spend some time with the Maasai people of Tanzania. Such beautiful and strong people fighting to keep their culture and traditions alive. I can't take credit for any of these pictures. I stole them all from my personal photographer...My very talented sister Krissy. I'm still trying to sort through a billion pictures! Hopefully I'll get them up before my next trip!! =)

I went to Hawaii...

and what an amazing trip it was.

ACAI

I love this stuff. I am really going to miss all the good fruit when I leave. I forgot my camera cables to download pictures so the real stuff will just have to wait till I get back.

IM IN BRAZIL!

Love this place.

We made it just about 24 hours later.

LONGEST DAY EVER!

We missed our connecting flight in Fortaleza.

To this day, I NEVER sleep well on planes.

Correction: I DON`t sleep on planes.

I am now in Belem.

We are eating the most amazing fruits I didnt even know existed.

My hair is SO CURLY here.

IT IS EXTREMELY HOT and HUMID.

I love how my skin feels here.

The brazilian people are SO ALIVE. SO FUN. SO WARM and INVITING.

I have eaten way to many PAO GE QUIEJO. They are like these cheesy bread things.

DELICIOUS.

Today for lunch we had mashed up Avocado with milk and sugar. Surprisingly, VERY GOOD.

The trip has been perfect so far. One adventure after another. No itineraries, no expectations. It is just what I needed. Future plans include visits to far aways islands, Riding a Water Buffalo, naps in a hammock in the jungle, and so much more.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Terrible.

I'm the worst.  I'm a TERRIBLE blogger.  I really don't even deserve having a little space of internet for the randomness that is my life.   Life gets so BUSY...People to see, PLACES TO GO!!!  Speaking of places to go...I leave for BRAZIL in 5 DAYS.

I'm super excited.

Things are definitely going to start picking up here and I will make myself document it....if it kills me!!   

To those who are even still following...

Bare with me!!  

iLove

I am the proud owner of a BEAUTIFUL White 32 GB IPHONE 3Gs!!!!

My dear friends Noah and Kristi surprised me with this BEAUTY yesterday at work. I really struggled accepting it but in the end they won and I must say I'm a very happy girl. =)

I think I'm in LOVE 

Reading...

Has anyone read "THE HUNGER GAMES"?

I can't put it down.

Magical Day

For my Birthday this year I decided to be super random. SHOCKER!  =)

Anyways...I recruited my little sister and bought 2 tickets to California.  

Disney is doing a thing this year where you get in for free on your Birthday, so why not?  

Yes....We flew to Disneyland for the day!  We were in California for like 22 hours.  Disney gave me a pin to wear that said Happy Birthday Sherry so everywhere I went, every ride I got on and off, and even during the ride, I was wished a Happy Birthday!  

It was quick.  It was way to much fun.

My cousin Autie and her two kids picked us up at the airport and we went straight there.  It was a blast.   I wish I would have taken more pictures!!!   We were exhausted by the end of the day but made it to BJ's for their sinful Pizookie and just like that, I was 29.  

Wow I'm getting old.  Nothing like a trip to Disneyland to help me pretend that I'm still kinda young.  ;)

Thanks Autie for a wonderful day!!!

Love yoU!

My 2 A's--My cousin Autie and my little sister Ashley.

Max & Ivy

They were so GOOD!

Love them.

Ash and Ivy

Toy Story Fun FUn

This ride was crazy!

Classic Fishy Face

The "Opposites"

NYC Quickie

So I guess I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I had while in NYC this past weekend...but here is one of my favorites.  Sweet little McKay insisted that he take a picture of us and this is the result!

Here's one Noah took....
Here's Lyla eating a delicious burger from the Shake Shack  

If you haven't eaten one of their mouthwatering burgers...you are seriously missing out!

Next time you are in New York, don't leave without going!!  It is one of the best

burgers I have ever eaten in my life! 

The weekend was perfect.  I didn't want to leave!  The cab driver, who was taking me to the airport to catch my flight home, had to hand me tissues I was so sad.  =(

Thanks for another amazing weekend Eyres

I sure do love you guys.

Happy Birthday To ME!

My parents surprised me with the cutest little pink camera I've ever seen!

I love Sony's...I always have. They are so SEXY!!

I have no excuse now...There will now be more REAL pictures on my blog.

Stay tuned for Disneyland fun fun!

Dear BJ's

Dear BJ's,

Will you please open a restaurant in Utah so that I can eat your Great White Pizza and Chocolate Chip Pizookies whenever I want?? I'd be so very grateful and I promise I'd make everyone I know come eat with me.

Sherry

P.S.- Thank you for my Free Birthday Pizookie last night. I was in Heaven. To bad I had to fly all the way to California to get it.

Thankful

I am so thankful for SO MANY THINGS. In years past on this blog I've tried to focus on all the many things I am grateful for during the month of November. Maybe this will get me blogging again! So today, I am really thankful for

Delta Airlines

who took me to Washington DC last week and who will be taking me

to California on Tuesday and then to NYC on Friday.

Thank you for the Delta Biscoff Cookies that I absolutley love, and for giving me the ENTIRE CAN of Cranapple Juice

and for always upgrading me

to First Class.

I love flying with you Delta =)

(Have you ever tried these?? They are AMAZING!)

Lord of the Rings Marathon

A few weekends ago I watched the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy-EXTENDED VERSIONS with my little brother and practically little sister Mackenzie. WOW. We started at 2:00 in the afternoon and watched all three back to back, no breaks ending at 2:35 in the morning!! It was intense. Especially watching it with obsessed fans who didn't have to read the subtitles when the characters on screen were speaking elvish!

Smeagol/Gollum drove me absolutely INSANE and I truely believed that HOBBITS were real and had once existed. I'm sure I'll never hear the end from that one.

My Papi

This is my Papi.

Isn't he cute??

I just want to pinch those cheeks all the time.

He had a Birthday last week and I just want to love him a bit on my blog.

My dad is BRILLIANT. He is so smart, I go to him all the time for EVERYTHING and if he doesn't have the answer, he'll find it.

He is very LOVING...I can always count on him for a good SQUEEZE.

He truely wants what is best for us kids and has worked hard to provide us with

so many life changing opportunites.

He is very Goal Oriented.

He makes the best scrambled eggs and an incredible PB&J.

If you ever need anything off KSL of classifieds...He's your man! He can find just about

anything, and for a killer deal too!!

He is MINE and I love him more than he will EVER know.

Happy Birthday POPS!

Randal is HOME!!!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to My Sweet Mom and My Cute Silly Papi.

5 Kids, Adventure after Adventure, So many UPS and DOWNS.

Here's to another 31 years???

I love you both so much.

Pancakes

I can't stop thinking about them.  I dream about them at night.  I wake up craving them in the morning.  I think about them all day long at work.  

What is with this weird craving??  and Pancakes??

I wish my body would crave more Fruits and Veggies!  

It would work SO much better with my Diet.

BYU Hawaii Fun Fun

We used Heather and her little family moving to Virginia as an excuse to get together for some delicious BBQ, swimming and LOTS of catching up! 

 It was so fun to see Kristie Babcock Stephens and her 4 kids!!  They are living in Logan, Utah where her husband Nate is teaching at Utah State University.  

Britney Nichols Aggard is the mother of 2 little boys and they live up in Kaysville, Utah.

MELISSA!  So so fun to see her!  She has 2 sweet little girls and a brand new baby boy.  They live in Utah and Melissa looks exactly the same!!

Heather Holt Ure, John (her hubby) and their 3 kids are moving to Virginia where John has been accepted to George Mason University Law School.  I will miss them!!! But, it's not like I'm not on the East coast several times a year already.  I'll just have one more excuse to go and visit!

For any Seasiders from Hale 5 in '99-'00 who weren't with us...we missed you!  Hopefully one of these days more of us will be able to get together.  

Swimming Pool Fun Fun

Corn on the Cob Cupcakes.  So YUMM!

The Chef--Thanks MOM for the GREAT FOOD!! =)

Thanks Ash for the Pictures ;)

I Heart this Movie

I went and saw this movie last night with great friends.

It was lovely.

GO SEE IT.

AND!  The Soundtrack is even BETTER!!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Do you remember the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar??  You know, the one where the caterpillar eats and eats and eats through all sorts of stuff until he gets a stomach ache and then turns into a big, fat Caterpillar??

I was reading this book to my little cousin Millie today and I couldn't help but think of ALL the things I had eaten today...and how much I felt like him.

Gotta love the book though...it's definitely a Classic.
