Cant get any more awesome then this...

soooo On Thursday I went to 6flags & it was Super Awesome :)

and this is why....

we head down there about 9:30 am and J was driving the party Bus--->the scenery isnt too great. especially since u can literally see the layer of Smog over the city observed here --->come on people, we r killing our beautiful earth! but thats not the point of this blog, so I shall continue.... :)

so we listen to some crazy tunes the whole way there and Sid (this is sid)---> does his drums on his legs to practically everY song, but it was cool. he also did this fun clapping thing-like a one man band i tell ya

(comin to a casino near you:)

so before we get to the park we make an in N out stop and see like a million guys in there, football team or something and we look down at this guys feet & we see some things in his socks. observe--->

we r like-wth?

then we move on cuz we r hungry and ready for some fun. So we get in the park (me for free-which makes it even more awesome:)

so the first ride we get on just happens to be the first ride everyone & their mom wants to get on too, so we have to wait a bit. To pass the time we played war--->
denise vs. Diegoface (diegoface won but dont tell denise i told you :). Then we played Human pretzel, it was sweet and before we knew it, it was time for the ride!....

tatsu was freakin awesome & it pumped us up. we ran all over the park, well more like walked fast cuz we would have gotten too tired if we ran :)

This awesome pair was designated official map holder as well as "mom & dad" of the bunch :) -- --->
I think i was supposed to make some sort of face here, but i didnt get the memo i guess ;op still cute though :)

it was freakin hot. like the kind of hot where u dont know if youre sweating or melting-i think it was a little bit of both. So we had to cool down with some awesome frozen lemonade. that always hits the spot :)
and they came with these super cool belt hook things modeled here by these sexy fellows Diego & sid :) haha

so then we got on a ton of other fun rides-for diego, not so fun as u can see by this face--->

but for me & denise-tons of fun :)

we took a few bathroom breaks & there was this awesome coke machine in one of the bathrooms--->
pretty awesome, i would like it for my bedroom full of cherry coke ZerO please :)

We rode scream twice cuz the line was about 30 seconds long :) and as u can see, it made someone pretty excited, so it was well worth the wait ---->

:)

we even met a skunk! and it was a way cooler skunk then those ones i saw in my driveway the other day-see--->
thats the same thing i do when these clowns start acting up. haha.
To complete this super awesome day we rode X, which is just about the craziest thrill i will probably ever experience in this mortal lifetime, and I will die happy knowing I have Xperienced the Xtreme Xcitement of this Xcellent ride :) who ever invented it is a genius :) there was also this gum pole on the way up o about 5 feet from the stairwell and as u can see, it has entertained many a line goers by giving them somewhere to aim their gum. --->

Denise tried it, and it didnt stick. so I commend the efforts of all those that made it.

after the ride was over and my life fulfilled-we had to make it even better with some funnelcake!!!!!!!!!

as u can tell by this picture, if u ever want a quick way to make Stephanie happy-here it is :)
it also made Mav & Ray happy :)

at the end of the day, all that was left was tired feet...

and happy faces...

the drive home went by fast and the day was complete :)

If youre lucky you just might get to come next time :)

Stay 'NefariouS'

its as easy as---1-bowl of ice cream-2-skunks-3 cops :)

So today is now technically Sunday (12:30 am) so Happy Fathers day to all the Dads out there-even though I don't think any dads read this :oP

But anyway, today was a pretty normal day. I had to wake up at 7:30 (which is way too early for me on a Saturday) so i could go to work. For those of u who don't know-i work at a ladies shoe store called Nine west Now located in Ontariomills. It kinda interesting for me cuz I'm not really the type of girl who wears shoes like this

<----------partly cuz i have a huge fat foot that wouldnt fit in there, and partly cuz fashion=pain, but im getting used to it now. some of the shoes r cute-most of them r not ;)-and most of them are reallly expensive, which is funny cuz people still buy them, but whatever. as long as i get paid its all good :)

Well anyway, on my way to work i stopped here--->

because everyone knows i cannot resist some del taco at 9 am, or any time for that matter :)

worked all day, got a big headache, went here for dinner --->

which i think was a mistake, and i will tell u why in a minute :)

finished up work just after 5, headed over to the Stewart's where I had a wonderful time :) cuz i always do :) played with some awesome little tykes, watched Madagascar, these penguins r Hilarious!

This whole time i was experiencing a massive headache and some not so pleasant stomach feelings which reminded me of the time I got food poisoning (from sbarro ah!) a while back. so i suffered for a while and me and Michael went to buy some ice cream, but even the thought of that didn't make me feel better! crazy u say?? i think so too! cuz Stephanie rarely passes up creamy goodness :)


So we got back and i took some tums and headache stuff and bam! yucky feeling gone and i had a good bowl of this stuff :)

<-----it was awesome, but i should have taken those tums wayy earlier. so i learned that lesson.

So anyway, the neighbors behind the house were having a party and KAROKE! ah! i know, and it was like 'I will survive' status...

So anyway, the night was pretty much over so i stopped by my sisters house on the way home to see how the party she was throwing went and I walked in the house like man there r cops all over this neighborhood! and like 3 minutes later one comes knocking at the door like "time to turn the music down"

and it was funny cuz i was like the one minute warning. So i decided to head home soon after (there was no good food left anyway) and I roll up to my house and what do i see in the driveway??? --->

2 skunks dancing! jk, they werent that cute, they looked more like this ---->

but as i drove up they went under my sisters car! oh no! so i sat for a minute to see if they would come out and one did and went up onto my porch! so i sat in the car for a good 5 minutes to make sure they left. I am not about to get sprayed by a skunk or 2.

Unfortunately, that is the most exciting thing that happened to me all week, haha, so now u see how sad my life is :P But i Love it :)

It is now Sunday, a day of devotion, relaxation & togetherness :) I hope u all enjoy time with someone you love who can help u appreciate the great things in life that sometimes go unnoticed (like enjoying ice cream and skunks in love :)

:) StepH (:

Today is Tuesday...

<-------So here r the elders we went to lunch with. it was me, tyler, megan & katie, I told them i had to get a picture of them cuz they were not pictured on the last blog due to my lack of picture containing their mugs. so anyway, pyne & worwood, 2 prettty cool guys, yet vastly dorky (but arent most missionaries:)











So anyway, then it was Joshs graduation & by the looks fo this picture---->



it was pretty boring, lol. Here i Sam (bored), dad (also bored)& ariel (reading) =]

But once it was all said & done we got to see Josh :)
& congratulate him on his wonderful accomplishments
& we all know how Awesome Josh is & How much I love him :) ---->

He is basically my brother from another mother & I would do anything for him (even sit through a 2 hour ceremony of boringness :)

Thennnnn the parking lot was jam-packed with cars trying to leave so we were pretty much stuck in the out line for about an hour-so of course we had to find a way to keep entertained :) Thank goodness for Camera Phones with flash & Josh's filled with laughs :)

<------one of our many silly photos :)



then we went home, had some reallly good grilled cheese sandwiches & watermelon & called it a night :) -----> Yum ---->

So it a nutshell that was my day. pretty good one too :) Tomorrow I have no school & i dont work til 6 pm! sleeping in here i come :)

goodnight all!

StepH :)

Saturday...

was a pretty fun day.

<-----Here is katie eating Kevin's subway. She actually ate most of it before he even got a bite :)

Heres Mike ---->

this is actually not a bad picture :)

^^^^^^here is a pic of amy and steve ^^^^^^

Kevin & steph --->

So its not a great picture of Steph, but she was hungry :) can you believe they have matching shirts? cuz I still cant. for reals.

<------- here is katie & steven "surfing". i say it in quotes because there was no actual surfing that took place, but it was still lots of fun.

So I just realized right now that I do not have one picture of me from saturday. haha. well i guess thats the deal with being the one who always has the camera-lots of pictures of other people taken by me :) I don't mind though, i wasn't looking too cute that day anyway :0P

<-----------unlike Audrey here who just looks ravishing :0)

well I wont tell you what happened in between leaving the beach & arriving home....but the night was ended with a game of Ticket to ride, me losing of course, but still lots of fun :0)

So tomorrow is Josh's graduation!!! for those of you who dont know josh,

<-----this is him :)

and its a beachy picture of us to keep the common theme :P

So tomorrow is also my day off, im takin the missionaries to lunch, should be fun, I wish i had a pic of them too, but alas, I do not. I shall take one tomorrow, but just for entertainment purposes-here is a picture of the most awesome missionary ever alive :) true story.

<----------

So then the rest of the week I will just be working and such, having fun & stuff, and if I get anymore cool pics I will be sure to share them with you :)

Have a greatt week all :)

:) StepH

this is the first...

offiicial blog.

School is almost over and I am oh so ready and glad that it is.

I cant believe its already been a year since last summer.

This summer is looking like it will be pretty busy, lots of plans which promises it will fly by in no time. Last summer was sooo long, spent taking many naps, doing a whole lot of nothing and enjoying it too :)

here are a few pics from last summers events. The highlights were probably going to the beach <------ and going camping with my family--->

of course representing the wild Cherry Pepsi :) and eating ice cream with my cousin Felisha :) mmmmm I Love rainbow sherbet----->

anyway,

these things were fun but nothing too exciting. This is the first year my family is not going camping in about 10 years, which is weird. But instead, we are going on a cruise to i dont know where, but as long as i dont have to sleep on the floor and go to bed by lantern i am all for it :)

Also, my cousin is getting married in San Fransisco in August so we're gonna mini vacation up there as well :) should be fun cuz i have never been there :)

cousin to the left, lovely fiancee at the left end ;)

Life has been pretty normal, pretty good. Except for the fact that I am now on my 3rd job since Easter (really not my fault though ;) everything else has been fine. I am thinking this one is the keeper, nice people, pretty simple work, pretty chill environment. The only dangerous thing might be that I already have a shoe addiction and working in a shoe store might not help me in that area. But i like it so far :)

I still have not seen pirates :( i think everyone else ALIVE has so far, lol, so i am a little out of the loop. hopefully it wont be too much longer though :)

I cant wait for the new Harry Potter, oooooooooooh my it is going to be So awesome :)

Other then that I guess not much is new. Maybe I will let you know if something else happens. until then ---

:)
