Videograss Premiere

Every winter I go to see my brother do crazy snowboarding tricks in movies.

Family support alert.

It always freaks me out.
Do not even get me started on the Love/Hate video where he is filmed smashing his face in and breaking his eye socket. Not great and disgusting, but whatever, he is good at it.

These movies take me back to skiing every Saturday as kids. Always the Mom I was sure to yell at him with each absurd jump choice for a seven year old. That yell scares him to this day. We were both crazy, but he was and is fearless.

I am so proud of him and his success. As he says, "I have my dream job guys."

L.U.C.K.Y.

This is how they prepare to see the movie.

True love.

After the movie. Wait. How about mid movie they wanted to leave. That is right. I did not even get to see it all. Apparently that is what DVD's are for they say. We went to Este for some delicious vegan pizza.

This is how Phyllis and I felt about pizza and hanging out. Two of three best friends!
Then we went to meet these guys at the Bayou. Terrible picture, but I do not care. Mostly because Matt is pointing at the camera like he owns it.
This guy makes the most incredible steak and eggs you will ever eat. He is a real treasure that can tell incredible stories that can make anyone laugh.

Oh and Shad joined us to talk shop.

The end.

Jordan's Christmas Quote

Jordan exclaimed, "Look at this cool little statue of Jesus. Wait a minute, that's not Jesus. That's Hans Solo!"

Weekend Fun

Taking a picture while holding three bikes proved to be difficult. The three of us decided to go on a short bike ride that WAS NOT short. It took us five hours, but it was worth every minute.
Things that happened on this bike ride:

-They talked me into a marathon and a triathlon.
-Pamela tried to set me up on a date. Veto!
-I left them in my dust because mountain bikes are the slowest on the planet.
-They found an injured cat that needed help, thus the long bike ride.
-A lot of talking and laughing.

We went from Lehi.......

to the windmills in Bluffdale.

My mom and me. Tee hee.

Later on that night I went to Jordan's house. He was making this sweet mask from stuff around the house when I got there. He is incredibly creative guys. Then we went to Yelle where I had the best time. My hawaiian adventure camera case did not make an appearance that night so I don't have any photos. Sad face. (Unless you decide to develop your's fisheye. You know who you are. March it.)

A Monday

This is Amy and I NOT full moon canoe-ing. Apparently everyone was convinced we would die in the cold...so we went to dinner instead. It was equally as fun as dying in a canoe.
After dinner I went home to visit Jordan. He had knee surgery on Monday. I got some stellar phone calls from him that day. They started with him whispering/yelling, "Emilee, I am on drugs!" Hahaha. I laughed all day. Best ever.

Jordan shows me how to do sweet tricks with crutches and how to leave every door open when making dinner. Okay, maybe that wasn't him.

King Khan & the Shrines/Jacuzzi Boys

This is by far one of the best and most entertaining shows I have ever been too. I mean just look at them. They even have a cheerleader that dances around with pom pom's. That is her main job! I am jealous and will submit a resume immediately. King Khan had amazing costumes that included a cape, beads, and a mask. If you haven't checked this band out, you really should. Worth the $10 Jordan spent on it for me. $10! A steal I tell you.

This is the singer from the Jacuzzi Boys. His eyes do that when he sings. They are really good too.

I love this picture of Megan. Haha. This was right after she invited the whole band to sleep on Jordan's floor. That equalled me having to sleep in an unexpected place. Thanks Megs and thanks King Khan.

Jordan loves toast and looking like an old man. I think he was about to say something really serious right here. Probably something about being vegan or dying.

I think Will is telling me how he is famous in this picture. He and I had the best time driving around after the show looking for fries and listening to David Bowie's Magic Dance. Yes, you read that right...the song from Labyrinth..over and over...and over. It was during our singing and dancing when I took a picture of us and then somehow deleted every picture on my camera. Good one. Will liked to claim he was from the area and knew where fries were. He did not. I also asked him if he had ever played that game King Khan when he was younger. He reminded me that I wasn't even close. It is Donkey Kong guys. Yes! I love my brain.

A little clip of the greatness that is King Khan. Be prepared to fall in love.

The Roots

I knew it would be a great night one I saw this guy. He was as very adamant that if I took a picture of him it was to be a picture of him and no one else. Yes Sir. Check out that hair.

Yes, we were so close to the stage. Not. (Yes, so bringing that word back too.) There were a million people at this show. I couldn't find anyone.

I finally found these guys. How depressing would it have been if it was just me watching The Roots by myself with a sad face? My sad face is pretty good though, it might have actually been a good photo.

I am demonstrating to these guys how to say my new last name I am going to give myself. Yep, I made up a kick A. last name. It is going to have an exclamation point and so anyone who says it has to say it whilst pumping their arm in enthusiasm as pictured. I am also going to give myself a middle name while I am at it. I haven't decided on that one yet. Probably something cool like Emilee Bilbo Baggins.

How is it raining?

Jeff with the wax statue Brandon.




This kid tapped me on the shoulder and then did nothing when I turned around. Um, funny joke guy. So we pretended to take a picture of ourselves and this is how it turned out. Not too shabby. I think those two were mimes.

My favorite two people of the night were this dashing young couple.
Look closely. They traded one shoe with each other....kind of like Sadie Hawkins for shoes? How is that for romantic. Look at her throwing her head back laughing, this must be true love and happiness. Sold.

Lauren was showing me how stuck up girls look. If you are in the market to be a jerk girl and don't know how to look stuck up Lauren says you should squint your eyes, glare a little, and stick out your lips. It is as easy as 1,2,3.

What is better than Lauren's re-enactment of a girl we saw? I will tell you. This random kid jumped in the picture as I was taking it. I was all, "What the?" He was all, "I do what I want" And I was all, "Don't get up in my grill." Then I punched him Okay, didn't happen but I asked the kid his name because he looked familiar. Turns out he is a kid I used to babysit! What are the chances I would recognize him, let alone see him?

Reunited.

I was supposed to go to the show with Jordan but I couldn't ever find him and that was lame and sad. I finally found him at the end of the night. We saw Harley, another kid I used to babysit. I used to be rich due to my mass amounts of babysitting skills. Harley and Jordan are funny and I laughed a lot pre and post photo.

Mustache Madness

Jordan invited me to a the grand opening of something. I can't remember the name. Something cool like Process? I could have just made that up. His friend Cami set up the whole soiree and it was a real good time. There was a mariachi band and a taco stand. Brilliant idea. I think those are the only things needed for a good time. I think I just might steal it for my next birthday. Beware.


Apparently the night was not complete without wearing mustache wearing. At first it was normal...because fake mustache wearing is normal....and then it just got silly I tell you. Check out the proof. It was so fun. The night almost didn't get any better....

.......until we went to Urban Lounge, where the girl in the headband walked up to Jordan's friend and told her she was perfect and she had been waiting for her all her life. Whaa? Yes. It happened believe it. Don't worry, Andrew the Lumberjack (pictured above) and I just sat there taking pictures of them with our phones. We are awes.
