OMTOH

OMTOH= Oaker Mountain Temple Open House.

I'm so thankful that my dad was able to get Peter down (Minus Kaytlyn because she had to work) tickets for the Oaker Mountain Open House. We where able to attend the 4:20 p.m. tour on Thursday July 30.

The temple was gorgeous. They had amazing chandeliers. They where so huge and just... stunning.
The car ride to and from the temple didn't seem to long. We where all so excited to be going, and the spirit we got from the temple left us happy on the way home.
Temples are incredible. I love to run. If I am ever having a rough time I'll go running in the morning over to the Provo Temple, just a few blocks away. Being around the temple always leaves an amazing feeling, that lasts.

After being home for no more then an hour the telephone rang (For what seemed like the 20th time since we'd been home). My mom came asking if I'd seen a lot of movies in the theater in the last year. I replied with a yes. And she told me to get the phone.
It was a Movie Surveyor. The conversation went for 4 minutes and I was done.
I jumped up and down in my slippers, spun in a circle getting myself wrapped up in our white twirly phone cord, sat, then lied down on my hard tile kitchen floor. The conversation lasted just over half an hour.
Now don't get me wrong, my parents and everyone else that knows me well will tell you I have no problem talking on the phone for 5 hours straight.
But when it comes to someone your struggling to understand, and asking the same questions about 42 different movies. It gets a bit annoying.
Luckily the surveyor could not tell I was getting tired and frustrated. She was sweet.

New... Website?

The other day I decided I'd go to bed early. Time rolled around to 9:45 and I was all ready for bed. I sat on my floor to (of course) reply to all my texts that had come in while I was getting ready. It took a moment for my Peek (My phone) to load. So, I set it on the ground while I waited. My eyes started to wander to look for something to play with.

I found... Chinese handcuff under my bed. I believe it came in a party bag Maria got from my Mothers work party. I tried to put it on all my fingers, but I have the tiniest hands! It slipped off every one of them, except my thumbs! So of course, I put it on both my thumbs. I was so excited it fit!

At that moment my peek chimed letting me know a friend had sent me a new message.
I reached for my peek with my right hand when I realized,
MY LEFT HAND CAME WITH IT!

Half an hour later I was STILL sitting on my floor. With both of my thumbs STILL inside the Chinese Handcuffs. And that confused and worried look STILL on my face.

Maria walked in right at that moment. I felt so relieved!

It was like the time my older siblings loved that I fit inside our close hamper. So they'd make me sit on the ground, put the close hamper over me. Then put a doll house on top. I sat there for what seemed like hours as they went down stairs to watch TV and forgot the other part of "Hide-and-SEEK". It wasn't until the smell of Mac&Cheese made it up the stairs, and mom called everyone in for dinner that I was rescued. Older siblings are so amazing.

Maria was my rescuer in this situation. She laughed at my puzzled face as she walked in. She laughed at my worry and relief as she took it off. And still to this day is laughing that I sat there for half an hour, helpless.

I spent about 2 hours putting together the VERY START of my new website.
It is just the start. Remember that.(:
I'm into photography. And I already have people asking me if I can do photo shoots of them.
I am 90% official.
The 10% that I am missing is because I don't have one of those professional cameras.
I'm still working on it.
Everyone should check out the START of my website and give me feedback.
Please and Thank you.(:

Mara at the dollar store.

Me in the massage chair.

I jumped into an empty place on the shelf.

Of course we had a sunglasses picture!

My dad and I hanging out in some chairs.

I told my dad to stand next to the grill and act surprised.
Just so that he could get the feel for when I eventually buy him that grill.(;

The shed I told Maria she could share with my pet goat.

Maria and I on a couch.

Gabrielle chilling in a chair.

aw so cute.

It was all girls, and then my Father. We had a blast though!

Gabrielle 'Flying'

Everyone on the way into Sams Club.

Maria with her dream car. A gorgeous purple mini van. WITH purple rims.

The in between and after.

Here's Jacob when everyone was coming outside to light sparklers.

There's Joshua and Peter in the back of Kaytlyns car when we left to go home.

Josh was really down near the end of the night. Dad cheered him up by 'playing music' with the unlit sparklers.

There they are again...

This was after the lunch in, and before the reception. Anthony and his youngest boy Sam where pretty tired...

Sisters;

Act Girlie.

Just smile!

Umm?

All the matching girls.

Mike assigned us all a face reaction. I remember that Kaytlyns was that she just got accepted to Princeton. And mine was that I just had a break up.

This was right after Jacob shoved his way through all of us.

Kaytlyn standing next to the reception sign.

Genevieve and Mike.

hahah! It was way to hard to decided what picture to put up. So this post is just all about the Levie Family.
I was taking pictures of everyone outside. Mike walked by about 3 times and asked if I got him. Each time I barley got him. So I told him to pose for me and I'd make sure to get him.

Genevieve wanted a picture of her family. They are so adorable!

"Okay guys! Act like yourself!"-Leah. I think Mike did a great job.

Genevieve would not stop laughing! I don't blame her.

Such a cute family!

"Josh: Pretend like the president asked you to visit his dog!"
"Genevieve: Pretend like you just won Prom Queen!"
"Mike: Pretend like you where just asked to join the circus!"

After all the other pictures Genevieve said "Wait! Did we get a normal picture?"
So here's the 'normal' one.
I love this family!

Car!

Davids friends decorated the car... And did an excellent job!

The decorated all the windows, including a soccer ball on the passengers window
(Heidi's window).

Yes. Dave and Heidi where just married.

The drivers window...

The trail of balloons on the back. They later added Red Bull cans for noise.

Of course, David and Heidi started off the dancing.

Then Heidi's Father cut in...

And my Father cut in...
