Here’s a Quick Run Down...

#1 – A series of unfortunate events led to a container of boiling syrup to explode directly into my face. It must have been quite the explosion because 4 months later it was also found splattered on the ceiling by my Dad...the ceiling he so graciously painted. Anyway, the worthless nurses at Urgent Care sent me to the burn center at University of Utah...they didn’t tell anyone I was coming, nor did they inform me that only the intensive care burn unit was open on Sunday. I wandered into the ICU and found myself among those with over 80% of their body burnt...and there i was with my 2%...I sure felt sheepish. Oh...and did I mention that it was the 2nd time I met my brother’s girlfriend? The 1st meeting was not my best showing so I was really trying to shine...don’t think I shined in the way I intended...

                                                

#2 – A series of unfortunate events led to Zoe slipping in a stream and SOMEHOW her mouth was wide open because her front 2 teeth shattered. The vet pulled what was left of her teeth...she has no clue they are missing...except when she has an itch on her back She didn't move for at least 3 hours...


#3 – A series of unfortunate events led to Ben impaling himself on his mountain bike. The pole caved into itself and Ben flipped over the handlebars landing directly onto his head, cracking his helmet...I guess it was a good thing he was wearing it. He told me he was fine and that a paramedic looked at him and said I should keep a close eye on him. I still don’t know what I was ‘keeping an eye on’ but he was acting a little kooky all night. His bike had to be retired...obviously

#4 – A series of VERY fortunate events led to me completing school! The last week was a little rough...After being up for 3 days straight I decided I needed a little sleep. 3 hours later (5am) Ben woke me up to finish my papers. As I was editing a paper I found fragmented thoughts regarding a Design Star challenge and I what I think was my future role on Survivor. Good thing I actually proofread! As magnificent as the writing was...I had to remove those parts for a few reasons J


#5 – Ben poured more concrete than imagined...it changed our lives.



 #6 –SunScrivner 2011 (It’s not a dumb name...You’re a dumb name)


Scrivner Olympics:
When we were young we would compete in what my dad called the ‘Scrivner Olympics’. As I got older I realized that it was my dad’s secret plan to completely exhaust us so that we would actually sleep. Anyway...it brought out the competitor in all of us...AND if anyone was wondering I AM faster than Kandice in a sprint duel…no contest.



 Game Faces…

 Raptor Show: birds were cool...but I was hoping for Dinosaurs...





 Minute-to-Win-it…Enough said
 









The Cave...


on a family vacation when I was little, we hiked down this very same cave. A series of unfortunate events led to my dad, Kandice, Drew and I turning our lantern off and unable to lite it again. We eventually made it out of the mile deep lava cave...but we were pretty bloody and slightly traumatized. So, what do we do again??? Hike back down the black-as-night lava cave with 9 adults and 6 kids under the age of 6. We learn good from past mistakes. I told Chase he could never take the blue glow-stick necklace off, created a contact call just in case, and had a death grip on him the entire time. I am happy to report that no children or adults were lost this time in the cave. Chase did promptly notify me when his glow-stick had broken and wasn’t working…we provided him with a different oneJ I’d be ok if I never went down that cave again in my life.
