David Coulier in Ogden

Thursday night Mike and I went to see David Coulier at Wiseguys in Ogden. We had so much fun. He was hilarious.

WARNING: There are probably too many photos. I think I got carried away again...

David Coulier doing the famous "Cut, It, Out..." He said that he did it once and the producers on Full House loved it and told him to keep it up.


His act was amazingly clean, I loved it! He talked a lot about his family and did a ton of funny impressions. He did impressions of all of the Warner Brother cartoons including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig and ending with SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star and Gary the Snail. He had everyone laughing so hard!















#WINNING

I like to attribute my new found gift of #winning to Charlie Sheen. Although I don't think he really passed any luck on, he definitely set the stage for me to notice how #epic my winning has become.

After hearing all about Charlie Sheen while in Cozumel from Kjersten and Amanda. I tweeted him and won some tickets for them to his show in Boston.

This was actually the first time I wanted to set my Twitter account on private. All these people started following me and mentioning me and sending me messages. Some of them seemed a little crazy so I got worried. Thankfully I think that they all found out I don't know Charlie Sheen and they stopped following me and telling me to tell him stuff. (And the crazy ones left me alone! Whew!)

Shortly there after I entered a caption contest and won $100 to Rodizio Grill.


I decided I should keep entering contests. Mother's Day weekend I won $20 to Roosters and $10 to Grounds for Coffee. Two eateries 1/2 a block away from my work.


A little while later I win $100 for tweeting a picture of my lunch,

then I win $100 again.

Then I win $100 for Mike. Woot Woot! What luck.
(I told him he needed to get a passport with it... We'll see if he really does...)

I also won a cupcake from the Vintage Cupcake Factory
I got Maple Bacon because there is no way I would actually purchase that flavor cupcake. Surprisingly it was actually really good. It was more maple than bacon so I liked it. (I have had cupcakes from there that are NASTY! So it's saying something that it was good.)

I won some free henna...

A $25 Visa gift card...

A book on how to be a good parent...

and most recently, I won some Katy Perry tickets!


How awesome is technology where we can enter contests and win fun stuff like all of that!?!?!? I LOVE IT and hope there is more #winning to come!

Black 4th

I decided to label this post according to the hot dogs and brats that Mike cooked - pictured below.

Upon touch they turned to a black powder called ashes. ;0) LoL. Just teasin. They really were burnt beyond repair - but it was Mike's first time using the grill... ;0)

-----

The 4th was fairly busy. We went to the Clearfield parade in the morning with Rebecca, Jason and Liam. Then we had a BBQ with Lorna and Ryan (hence the above photo) and then Mike went to work his last day at Verizon and I went to my Grandparents BBQ in Brigham and then to the Brigham fireworks with my family.

What a fun day and night it turned out to be.

I didn't take a ton of pictures - but I did capture these:

My cute Grandpa and his nice thick hair (otherwise known as a wig. LoL. not sure why he was wearing it - but it sure was fun!)!!! Notice - he is wearing red, white and blue.


The he started to dance...?? LoL. I just love his smile and laugh.


My beautiful Grandma - also in flaunting red, white and blue apparel. I love when people get dressed up for holidays. I need to focus on doing that in the future...

And my lovely mom & seester. Also dressing for the occasion. LOVE IT!

Pics and videos of the Brigham City fireworks. I took just shy of 400 pictures of fireworks alone... I have a problem. I can't ever decide which are my favorite so here are some random ones. (And - I photograph and video tape at the same time - oh ya... mainly I mention this so if the camera shakes... you won't get disgruntled.)

Something awesome about the Brigham City fireworks....they are free!
Something else awesome - you get more ash landing on you than at the USU Stadium fireworks and the Stadium of Fire fireworks :0)







I like this firework image because it makes me think of something I would see scuba diving

I like this firework image because it looks like the firework is coughing out smoke ;0)


The Finale... you have to wait for it. But it will come! ;0)






HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!
