It's the life

When i was a sophomore in high school i had to go down to the dreaded Lampson stadium to play a soccer game. It was dreaded because we had to play on turf, now i'm not talking about the nice turf that they have now, it was like playing on cement. I was a forward and my job was to score, no matter what, which usually intelled me sliding on the grass and getting lovely raspberry's all over my legs. My dad use to tell me that girls legs were meant to be pretty so i needed to take care of them better. It was a known fact that you should not slide on this turf. Well me being the smart person that i am and always listening to my fathers wise counsel, i did not slide on the turf. NOT! Of course when your a real soccer player you don't think about stuff like that, you sacrifice your body for the win and that's exactly what i did. Down i went to score and up i did not come, with no victory. I was helped of the field, my leg looked like it was road kill, we lost and i didn't get to play for about 2 weeks after that.

I would like to say i learned my lesson that day and never slide on turf again. But i seem to like to learn things the hard way and 6 years later i still haven't learned. These are my knee's from our game and though they don't look to bad(the picture doesn't do them justice) they hurt like a mother! But we did have a victory.

Needless to say my dad was right, my legs aren't the pretties thing, especially my knees. But all i have to say to him is, It's the life of a forward and I love it!

A Golden Ticket

I'm sure we all remember watching Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. I was singing the golden ticket song the other day and keep repeating the phrase, I've got a golden ticket, I've got a golden ticket, and all the sudden it hit me! Only Charlie and a few other kids got golden tickets in this movie and only one. I remember how everyone wanted to find a golden ticket and how I even wished I could some how receive one, even though I was watching a movie. But I have know realized that I have received my golden ticket along time ago and not only have I received one golden ticket but I have been given many.

Can you guess what the Golden Tickets are?

Here's a hint, not only me or a select few can have them but everyone can have Lots!

One more clue, I was given one when I turned 8.

You guessed it! Golden tickets in my world are:
  • Baptism
  • The Priesthood
  • Temple Marriage
  • Repentance
  • The Sacrament
  • Baby Blessing (any kind of blessing)

It was like a bright light all the sudden turning on in my head, Bam! Golden Tickets! I love Bam moments, it's got to be one of my new favorite things. I also love all the golden ticket moments that we get to experience all through out our life's, good or bad.

I Love...

I love when i find things that just make my heart happy. These things usually consist of me getting really excited and laying in my bed thinking about all the cool ideas i can come up with to make it extremely awsome. My new found love is...... Cake Decorating
I have been watching ace of cakes for a while now and they make the most coolest cakes i have ever seen. But it's just been recently that i have been really excited about making cakes myself. I have not yet attempted this but let me tell you i can't wait, i think my first cake project is going to be operation Brin's wedding cake. I've been trying to convince her that it's going to be amazing, I don't think she is totally convinced yet, good thing I have lots of time to do that.

I'll let you all know when this amazingness happens

The Dale's













Isac Dale











Verl Dale













Since i have been living with Grandpa Dale i have noticed some similarities between the 2 Dales

1. They both have the same handsome squinty blue eyes
2. Which they love to roll at people (you really need to see grandpa do it, it's hilarious)
3. Both the biggest teasers that i know
4. They rarely smile but when they do it's worth a million
5. Selective of when they speak but very quick on the joke draw

It makes me so happy when i find things like this, I guess Isac was meant to be a Dale all a long.

Grandma B.


How I Love My Magram! Today is my lovely grandma's birthday and i wish i was there to give her a big hug and kiss. I love listening to my grandma's stories, one of them that she likes to tell me is when i was little and any time she would come over i would run to her and say, " Magram, magram." I love when she tells this story because her face always lights up, she laughs, and i can see this far off look in her eyes as she relives the moment. It makes me happy to see how one small memory with me from years ago could still bring her joy.


These are a few of my favorite things, with Magram: pizza party's, bath's with the water all the way to the top, making songs up to everything, bread, service, laughing, flowers, my ammie jam, rhubarb crisp(umm), her stern voice when grandpa got out of hand (Wally), her nac for coming up with dogs names(there's been alot), watching old westerns, walking up the ditch bank to grandma's house we go, swimming in the canel behind her house, having lots of family party's, the sunday farm fast, poems, letters, and knowing no matter what my grandma loved me.


I love that no matter how much time as passed, we always have our memory's to remind us of the good times and know matter how far apart we are, we can still feel the love.
