Go Bright or Go Home

The JB and JP Summer 2011 collection, embrace the color! (I really struggled not just calling out her shoes after she said the opening prayer in my Sunday school class. Love that JP and her style.

Flashback: La Jolla Apt 211

SJ...always keeping us entertained! GH found this gem and sent it to me this week.

Repeat Champs!

The Berry Oil boys took 1st again in the Sun Valley tourney, shooting 14 under par. Talented guys! Would you expect anything less?

Minnie Mike Baby Shower

Saturday we had a baby shower for Mama MPR and Minnie Mike before they take off to NM.HC and MB got a Lil' Monster bib for the Lil' Monster. So great!

We went to The Melting Pot...a first for all four of us. Very delicious!

Too many cute baby clothes to have a favorite...Minnie Mike will be a loved and spoiled baby, at least if I can help it.

MB and I were the entertainment for the evening...or at least we think we are that funny!

yikes!

You better believe it that the baby clothes were wrapped in this...what can I say, bridal showers are my specialty, not baby showers...

Driving Miss Berry

Saturday morning JP came over and drove me around to run errands. Either she really loves me or was really bored or a combination (probably the most likely scenario). We learned that I like to push the shopping cart faster. Thanks to JP I won't be bringing 10 bottles of small shampoo and I have cool paisley purse to take as well.

Look at JP's serious face...clearly she takes her job of driving Miss Berry seriously.

Now she smiles...JP, thanks for a great Saturday morning!

I introduced JP to The Milk Pail as well...only four years too late. Yet I still gave her the VIP tour and secret rules to conquer each trip to The Milk Pail...which I will share with you now.

1. Only bring your keys and debit card into the store (no need to carry a bulky purse).

2. Remember Milk Pail patrons for the most part are rude (I've never understood why though) so be on the defense...i.e. grab the first basket you can spot and don't aimlessly wander through the market, pick a route and stick to it.

3. Always, always sample the cheese selections at the back of the store.

4. Nutella by the small container is always less expensive at the Milk Pail than Safeway.

5. Each checker has their own line so don't go to the south side of the store line and think you'll wait your turn...aim for the three middle checkout lines...those are always the quickest.

***I also told JP about the game I play every week in the Milk Pail...see how much produce you can buy for under $10, it is more fun than 10 items or less.

JP can't say I've never taught her anything now...

My Amazing Chip Shots!

Saturday MW came to PA and took me golfing. It was such a glorious day to play 18 holes of golf and a wonderful time with MW! I played pretty well. I made this amazing chip shot that landed less than a foot from the cup. I had to document it so my bro would believe me. Thanks again MW for a great day golfing!

Tonight, during the New Friday golf league I made yet again another amazing chip shot. Slowly my pitching wedge is stealing my heart...it has taken years. We also had a fewest putts contest and yours truly took the prize with 14 putts in total...not too shabby, not too shabby at all.

I heart golfing!

This was the sight during FMC tonight...oh you Apple freaks (I mean lovers)...

Jess Berry Quote Of The Day!

A Relaxing Saturday Catching Up With BW!

Saturday while in Utah was spent relaxing. SEC and I met my life-long friend, BW, and his wife, JW, for lunch. You may remember him by this story from our childhood. We met at 12:30 pm and then proceed to chat for the next 5.5 hours. It had been years since we saw one another and so there was much to talk about! Thanks to JW and SEC for humoring us as we went on and on and on!! You girls were so sweet to let us take up your whole afternoon with memories and strong opinions from both parties.

BW and I grew up in Teton Valley together until high school at which point BW and his family moved to St. George, UT. I can't really remember a time when I didn't know BW, nor a time when I didn't consider him one of my closest friends. It was so fun to meet JW for the first time (really really like her! BW is a lucky guy!). It was great catching up, remembering childhood stories, seeing how much has changed and those few bits of our personalities that will always remain the same. BW informed me that I've changed, that's I'm not as uptight as I once was...I agree, it must be all the golfing. After all these years I am still so thankful that I've had BW as my friend. We just can't wait so long between visits again (I'm already planning their trip to CA!).
