A little shout out

The end of June the Wagner family received a wonderful addition... Stephanie. Here is a token picture of the happy couple. I might sound sarcastic, but I LOVE this girl. (the sarcasm is coming from the current weird sleep schedule and transient nature of our living situation).

Sorry for the not so fabulous picture, but I can't seem to find all the pictures Brad took.
We ended up being able to stay in Spokane for a few weeks around the wedding and got to enjoy the great things that Spokane has to offer. Like Spokane discount (LOVE it!) with Pam, Ang, and Celeste and let's not forget to mention all the cute nieces and nephew who we drug along. A bunch of kids didn't distract US from all the great deals. Definitely made some great memories.





Brad suprised me with a trip to Riverfront park to ride the carousel. (I may or may not have stolen a ring..) Baden, Mary and Eliza were kind enough to join us and have us over for dinner. We were running late to a temple session and they graciously lent us some clothes. I owe a huge THANK YOU to Mary.Thanks for your generosity and letting us steal your clothes. I love the dress but didn't really mean to take it hostage for weeks, despite the many appearances it may have had :)

As you've seen from other posts this summer Brad has picked up frisbee golf. Marv reintroduced BW on our trip and many days were spent checking out various courses. On our way home from another wedding in Seattle we met Stephanie's family in Moses Lake for a picnic at a park with a course. Thank you Butterfield family, it was a picnic dreams are made of! Here are some of the Swweeet pics of the frolfin crew.
Oh Tyler...


Love it!

Bobaloca...Sweet Chewy Goodness

Not Jamba Juice....really, it isn't. So we were driving along and we see this place called Bobaloca. Miranda asks what it was and I said that it looked liked Jamba Juice. So we went in and ordered fruit smoothies. In great anticipation we did wait. As the first one was finished the set it on the counter and Miranda asked ....What is that at the bottom of the cup?? So I says to the gal, aw, that's just the cup design. Well...yeah it wasn't. My first clue was when Hyrum took a drink and that g0t this surprised in a not so pleasant fashion look on his face. BOBA it was ....I must say though if you've ever wanted gummy bears in your smoothie, have we found you the place to go.... :) I'll let Wiki take it from here.
The distinctive characteristics of bubble tea are the black gummy balls made of tapioca (or, more commonly in East Asia, yam starch^{[citation needed]}), called "pearls" or "balls" that sit at the bottom of the cup. The pearls are larger than those found in tapioca pudding, with a diameter of at least 6 millimeters, but smaller ones are occasionally used. They are generally translucent brown with a darker brown center, although pearls of other colors or 'jelly cubes' have also recently become available.

When ordering, customers may be asked whether they want "pearls" or "boba" in their drinks; both terms refer to the tapioca balls. The tapioca pearls require an hour for preparation, and they expand considerably when cooked. After they are cooked through but before they become too soft, the pearls are drained and poured into a sugar-water solution, and are ready for use.

Drinking the pearls through a straw is common, usually a large diameter straw is provided to accommodate the particular size of the pearls. A common error for the inexperienced consumer of the beverage is to empty the container of fluid before all of the pearls are consumed, thus making it difficult or impossible to collect the pearls with sufficient vacuum using a straw.

Will post soon

Sorry for teasing ya'll with a ton of posts and then leaving you hanging.. I hate that. I just wanted to give a quick update of where we are and what we're up to right now. We're currently in Spokane staying with family and anticipating the arrival of the rest of the fam for Justin's wedding. We were planning on taking a trip to Washington for the wedding anyway, but work was cut short much earlier than expected. We decided if they were willing to fly us back home we may as well save the money and just have them fly us home to Spokane, so now we're having a good long visit with the fam. We've been having a great time getting to know Stephanie (Justin's fiance), spending time with some of Brad's long time friends Steve and Baden, and just hanging with the fam. Things have been pretty busy around here but stay tuned, there will be pictures of our many adventures to follow.

Can you tell I'm bored yet?

So with all this out of town living we're basically eating out every meal. One of those things you think will be fun until you've had one to many burgers or tacos. Needless to say it's definitely not helping my figure, so I decided to try to be a little more careful about what I'm eating. I had no idea it would be so hard. I just wanted to give a shout out to Wendy's for having decently priced decently healthy options and a huge sign posting all the nutrition information. I was so interested that I came back to the hotel and looked it up. If you're looking for something to fill up some of your free time like I am, and you're prepared to feel guilty next time you eat out check it out at wendysnutritioninfo. Looks like I'm not going to be downing three five piece nuggets with honey mustard anymore.. Who knew the dipping sauce would be as many grams of fat as the actual nuggets!

But on the plus side if you're really lookin to make a change eating out I found this really cool website where you can put in your location and price range and it will bring up a list of nearby restaurants and the healthiest options. Not too shabby.

If you just read this full post.. you deserve a gold star. Either to distract you from your intense boredom or reward you for being such an interested friend.

SoCal!

Evidence bein in SoCal is going to Brad's Head.Gangsta, pay no attention to that National Geographic hat.

Check out those sweet kicks!

We're currently working in Ontario California. Our hotel is conveniently located next to an outlet mall. Suprisingly I'm the only one that hasn't bought a thing.. Strange how shopping with a bunch of guys results in different store selections :) Brad picked up these bad boys for 15 bucks! They're his Party City shoes (that's the store we're working in). This one of the many plusses of being married to BW, constant entertainment!

As many as you know Brad's been out of town working for his cousin installing store shelfing, I recently joined him in California and am now working with him.... installing shelfing. Thus far it's been an interesting experience. There are a few things I wasn't expecting/ didn't realize:

1. The affect of so much testoterone in one place, I'm missin you Mons!
2. Discovery of muscles I never knew I had
3. I enjoy ripping things apart
4. How much the guys enjoyed me wielding a sledge hammer - even the electricians stopped to comment
5. Spending 4 hrs in traffic can be worth it to see family, and even some what enjoyable.
6. How hard Brad works doing this job to support me. He's such a great husband!!!

Yesterday we hitched a ride to Angela's house and then ended up having her drop us back in
Ontario . The only problem- they were on their way to utah for a wedding where they are going to hand off aubrielle and benson until Justin's wedding. Needless to say their mini van was packed with 3 car seats four adults and a months worth of luggage.

The above mentioned situation. Jaycie's even looking!

Before Ang and Cameron dropped us off we had dinner together at Denny's. Cameron put a dogers hat on Jaycie and she rocked it almost all dinner.

Dinner's lots of fun with these guys.

What a cutie!
