NIE NIE DAY

If you haven’t seen yet, I added a button on the side that says “donate to Nie Nie.” Read the story of Christian and Stephanie Nielson and their family. It is so inspiring. Donate anything you can to help with their family and their medical bills.

Also, Thursday has been designated NIE NIE DAY!!! The idea is to set up a live auction and all the money goes to the Nie donation fund. It is a great idea and such a good way to help this family. Anyone can do it. Auctions start on Thursday and end on Sunday. Look at the Auctions, and leave your bid in the comment section. Keep checking back and see if someone outbid you, you can bid again. Highest bidder will receive the item and all the money goes to the Nielson family and their medical bills; anything they need to get through this tough time. Let everyone know about the auctions. There are SO MANY going on. Check them all out. (click here, on the side click the pink ribbon that says Nie Recovery. Then click on the Benefit Blog link. It will show you many of the auctions going on.) COME BACK TOMORROW and tell everyone!

More Fun in California

Pictures to come.

Back for me Treasure!

Every year at the beach my mom puts on this amazing treasure hunt for the kids. It takes many months of planning, but all the kids look forward to it every year and it just keeps getting better. We add more pirates to the beach every year, and it's something we all look forward to. Here are some of the neat clues around the beach.




The Captain, ready to be burned.


ARR MATEY!

All the little pirates hear the first clue! My mom made little costumes for the kids. It was so much fun!


Pirate Tanner


Find me some sand crabs to get your next clue!




Captain Thomas!


DIG UP ME TREASURE!!!

The Main Pirate Herself!


My sister Tiffany and my mom


After the hunt we all had cake to celebrate a few birthdays. Here is my dad and Peyton!


Then my mom surprised everyone with some huge sparklers to light up the beach!




The Alexander Pirate Family

Congratulations Josh and Heather

Coby and I went to California for my family's annual reunion on the beach. One of Coby's best friends was getting married the weekend we were there and we were able to go to the San Diego temple for it. It was so neat to go into a different temple and be there for Josh and Heather.






While we were waiting for them to come out, I saw some of my good friends from home. Jordan and Mackenzie Hurst were there waiting on their parents who was at a friends wedding too. It was good to see them.

U.S.A. - U.S.A. - U.S.A.

Whoever has not seen this race needs to watch it as soon as they get the chance. This was the best race I have ever seen. Read the article too. When I learn how to add a video, I will try to add it on here. The USA was not supposed to win this race. The French even said they were going to "SMASH" the Americans. After the first 3 swimmers, it kind of looked like that was going to happen. Our anchor pulled through and the reaction from the other guys was priceless. I love the olympics.
