Erin Graduated

So I went to Iowa for Erin's graduation.  It was so much fun and I was so proud to see her walk despite the fact she was on edge b/c one class was still up in the air.  She looked so prettiful in her gown and she was so giddy.  My little sis became #2 college graduate out of our family.  Way to represent.  Anyway, the trip was full of fun and Iowa eateries.  We tried all the local places, well 2 of them and it wasn't bad.  Shout out to Hickory Parks and Old Chicago.  Yummy.  This was a huge milestone for Erin and I am just so proud to be her sister.  The trip was only missing one thing and that was Doug and Brie.  I guess thats 2 things.  Whatever.  Good times with the Witte Klan.

Red Like Scarlet live at the Coffee Depot!!!

Saturday January 31st was Nick's (Red Like Scarlet's) second show in Riverside at the coffee depot.  After learning the night before, that he would be opening for Donnie's band, he was hard practicing away the day before. He was putting on some finishing touches to his most excellent playlist thanks to misti and me (co-writers).  We helped him practice and I practiced my screaming strategery. He played an amazing set and Josh made the duet complete for the first song 'Drowning Maria.'  He made me so proud to be his wife.  Sorry about the mushy crap but I was so proud of him.  He TOTALLY (that was for you misti) killed it!  There was a large crowd and all his fans went crazy for him.  Thanks for the Tight Pants shout out Doug!  We will be posting the video soon, if not just showing you at your houses.  Get ready, for those who care!!!  RLS rocks!

Summer Fun in January. . .

So Misti finally got to come out here after moving out to Arizona for a day and I was so excited.  After enjoying an awesome array of waffles and strawberries compliments of Miki, we went over to the Rogers' house to hunt some verman.  WIth the summer-like weather in winter, we busted out our red ryder beebee guns hoping to have a moving target but we just set up some bottles and cans for some target practice.  It was so much fun, Craig and Josh even got in on the action.  Nick was on the roof reminiscing of old times and then, Holy Crotch Batman, he decided to show off his Spiritual side.  What?  Anyway,  thanks to the best weather in the country right now, I was just glad to see my bestest friend for the weekend and see a lovely sillohuette of that hottie of mine sendin out the vibes.   

Idaho Christmas

So we went to Idaho this past Christmas, and I know its a little late to be posting bout Christmas but you get what I give so there.  Anyway, it was so much fun, especially driving in the blizzard that was going on.  It was like a war zone seeing about 5 cars turned over or in the embankments  (really 3 but 5 sounds better), but we were just cautious.  We had to improvise too due to our windshield wiper juicers freezing up so made sure to drive behind people shooting up mist so we could clean our windshield.  Once we got to Doug and Brie's it was amazing besides the 16- 20 degree weather.  We played Wii about the whole time and got to spend New Years with the Witte's which has been a while.  I got my Christmas wish for sure.  We did the sledding and I almost broke my leg but overall, it was a good road trip between the lava hot springs and making Brammy Pinky Wii character.  I wouldn't take it back for the world.  Thanks Doug and Brie and Mom and Tash for letting us tag along.

Gingerbread Disaster or Masterpiece, you decide.

This was our first attempt at a gingerbread house, so our creative juices were just flowing out the ying yang. What's that?  Anyway, each wall had a different theme, don't ask me to title them, but it was definitely a fun experience that I recommend to all those who have the patience.  The Necco shingles were quite the ordeal let me tell you, but he rest went pretty good.  The best part was snacking on all the decorations and messing up on the frosting so I would have to fix it with my tongue, ooops.  Thanks Lissa!

The Family is back together again!!

So the yearly family pictures took place after Thanksgiving, and its really everyone now Josh is home.  It is the complete family and what a cute one it is.  They are so precious, or at least the photographer made it look that way (that's me).  I think mine turned out pretty dang good so you can pay me later Lissa ;)  Anyway, I am glad to be a part of the Rogers clan and don't you forget it.  This is a post to all you MoVal Rogers!  Keep smilin.  Oh and you raised a fine son, yeah the one in the green shirt and amazing hair.  Does he use suave?

Oh Shoot its Thanksgiving

So Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas is on its way, but this Thanksgiving was one for the memory books.  Nick and I went shooting with Ben, Mark, and Craig, which I think every family should do together.  It really builds family bonds and displays your 'aim' towards the future with each other. Wink!  So, little ole me got to shoot big ole shotguns and the rifle with a sniper scope.  That one is my favorite, but nothing is better than shooting a  hand gun real fast doing some damage.  Ben showed us his combat skills with Nick doing his rendition which was absolutely classic.  The only bad part was the traffic on the way and we forgot ear plugs, which I don't recommend, hence the white in our ears (bunched up paper towel) and Ben's ghetto- rigged ear plugs.  I was so happy the guys let me tag a long because shooting is way fun, almost as much fun as finding a place to do it, right Mark?
