Turtle Heads

So Bryan has been the quarterback for this Flag Football team with friends.

Here's a highlight reel (we're the green shirts, and Bryan is typically wearing a sweatband).

I like it because I can catch everything I missed out on watching while I was talking with the other wives/ making necklaces out of the weeds and grass.

My favorite clips are the 2 yard gains.

Like a Rhinestone Cowboy

So this week we went horseback riding with our friends the Taylors and about 5 other couples. Bryan kept saying that you can't ride a horse without looking like a cowboy or they won't accept you as a rider. So we went to the D.I and got some gear, and the boys wouldn't buy any jeans that they didn't need help getting into...

I'm pretty sure I couldn't even fit in those jeans...

We thought we were all decked out until we saw what our friend Matt was wearing...

Bolo Tie and all.

I'm pretty sure the actual horseback guide was smirking at us considering they were just wearing a sweatshirt and jeans.

The trail was really great, through trees and looking over the mountain. Pretty sweet. Also, something I never realized before was how much horses sweat. By the end of the ride my jeans were stuck to my legs

Oh and! We ended this date with square ice cream. A first for both Bryan and I.

It's all in the scooper. But why stop at square?

Zumba

This past week... I started a Zumba class

It's the best! I think most places it's 2 or 3 dollars a class (I will get it free because it's on campus) but it works your whole body and is fun, so it doesn't feel like working out as much.

Anyways, upon going with 3 friends, I am in line in front of a woman wearing black jeans, but she was keeping up, I gotta hand it to her. Mostly I was behind another woman...who was wearing only white shorts. I know she wasn't wearing underwear because once she started sweating I saw every dimple.... So hey, it's a workout and a show!

Christmas in September

Yesterday was Bryan's birthday. I wrapped his presents in Christmas wrap. You may ask, "But Monica, why not just buy birthday wrap? It's so cheap." ...Sigh. If I compromise on one holiday I'll have to compromise on them all. Not just birthday wrap... but weddings, baby showers, graduations... At first we just turned the wrapping paper inside out and used the white side for weddings and baby showers. But now Bryan suggests it to be our signature wrapping paper.

But his Birthday was fun. We helped his parents move after Bryan got off work and then went to dinner. It's so great that Olive Garden has a never ending pasta bowl to leave you over full and sleepy. When we got home and he opened his presents I thought his favorite gift would be ESPN magazine subscription... but clearly it was this:

His Justin Beiber shirt.

Bryan...sexiest sportsman of the year

This past week Bryan and the Taylors have been filming a short film about a Sport's fanatic. We went to the park to film and I'm a little worried that the people walking by really thought that Bryan dresses like this every day.

I'd like to do a little photo breakdown:

Slicked back hair

Black socks and loafers

Denim shorts and a belt... need I say more?

No under shirt.

I think maybe he's been taking his wardrobe tips from Devin

Five celebrities we could beat up

Bryan's List:

5. Jack Nicholson- For the sheer reason I have to watch him in the crowd every time the Jazz play the Lakers.

4. Matt Damon - He never looked all that tough to me. I would destroy Matt Damon! How do you like them apples?

3. George Lopez - Ahhh where to start. Just watch two minutes of his horrible stand up and you will see why I would fight this guy.

2. Nickelback - Okay, Okay, I know what you're thinking. There are four of them. Well i'm in luck 'cause i'm pretty sure I could round up enough guys that share my hatred for this awful band. Look at this picture! That guy with the long hair is just asking for a haymaker to the chin.

1. Kobe Bryant - Anyone who has talked to me for more than 5 minutes knows that I hate Kobe with every fiber of my soul. He beats my team every year, and every year I have to look at that stupid underbite. If I were to ever meet him in the octagon I would unleash a flurry of rage that started 16 years ago. Win or lose I would make sure he could never rape or play basketball again.

Monica's List:

I'm afraid my list isn't as substantial as Bryan's; I'm just going on who I could realistically beat up. Since I get to choose my opponents, I would go against these 5 celebrities in the ring:

5. Dakota Fanning- I feel pretty confident taking on anyone that wears size 0 jeans.

4. Justin Beiber- I think his weakness here is that he blow dries his hair forward so much that it'll block his vision of my right hook.

3. Dora the Explorer- She's so innocent she couldn't hurt a fly, and I just don't have that problem. Not to mention...she's a cartoon.

2. Clay Aiken- I had trouble choosing one picture because every face he makes just proves I could beat him up. He's wearing a turtleneck... Obviously not expecting what's to come.

1. Ke$ha- Just try singing a song without a track and I might respect you a bit more. When her music comes on, my blood boils. Stop telling people to take it off...please Kesha, keep it on.

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake this weekend with Bryan's family for a reunion, and it was pretty sweet. It was really good weather...almost too good since we have major sunburns. We got to go inner tubing on the boat and hot tubing at night. It was a really good break after school finals and all the other stress at hand.

I also thought this was the sweetest tire swing ever...

Before we left, Bryan said that he wants to buy the house. It's probably because it has 48 beds and 2 stoves. It'd be pretty sweet to just sleep in a different bed every night.
