Jared's Timberline Experience

Jared got to go to Timberline this year. It's a Boy Scout leadership camp.

















It's great to see the old men can be just as silly as the old ladies at Girl's Camp.


Kyle Tuft was the youth leader in charge of the camp. He did a great job. I found out that he is the son of my former dentist. Brian Tuft was in the Air Force with my brother Todd. Brian and Pam were good friends with Todd and Nancy. And apparently Kyle (shown here) had a little elementary school romance going on with my niece, Caitlin.












You can't tell from the pictures, but he said he had a great time. (It's so uncool to smile for pictures.) He and his pal Jeremy couldn't stop talking about it for the 45 minute ride home. They were as "shaky as a fiddler on the roof."

Fetche le vache

(I'm still trying to get you all caught up with my life.... here's the last of the wedding/honeymoon stuff I'll torture you with.)


Spamalot was hysterical. Michael had never seen Monty Python on the Holy Grail before he'd met me. I had him watch the movie while we were in New York visiting the fam. I'm happy to report that he laughed in all the right places and seemed to enjoy the play.

John O'Hurley (Seinfeld's J. Peterman) played King Arthur. He did a great job. (Though I did get to see Tim Curry in London and he was AWESOME!)

Someone actually did a painting about the flying cow defense. Maybe the cow was thrown over the moon.

Honeymoon in Vegas

We went to Vegas to see Spamalot for our Honeymoon. We booked a room at Treasure Island, across from the Wynn where Spamalot was playing. When we checked in, we were told that they had run out of the regular rooms and they had to upgrade us to a suite. Shucks. I really wanted the small room with separate beds. I knew it was meant to be when I found out our room number was 30011. 3 and 11 are my favorite numbers.




I took some pictures of the suite. There were three bathrooms. His bathroom, her bathroom, and a guest bathroom. There were his and her scales in the bathroom. I guess it's to weigh yourself before and after the buffet.












The double doors in the back lead to the bedroom.











I couldn't get the whole room in my picture frame. There was a couch and a love seat in the bedroom too, and an IPOD dock to listen to your own tunes when you wake up.
The double doors in the back of the pic lead to the "Her" bathroom.
There were double doors to the left of the picture frame that led to "His" bathroom. There were terry cloth robes and slippers for us.






My friend Alli posted some pics of her bros in the bathtub... they were so adorable. Do you think I should have given myself a bubble beard or are grownups in the tub just not as cute?

The Hines Mansion

My first nights as the new Mrs. Schnebly were spent at the fabulous Hines Mansion. Thanks a ton to my friends Rick & Angie, Ned & Miriam, Ned & Pat, and Tanya & Lance. We were put up in the PentHouse Suite. It was GORGEOUS and we had a great time. There were rose petals spread out over the floor and the bed... I didn't think to take a picture of that until the next day and the bed wasn't made. My friend Jennie thought it would be tacky to post a picture with an unmade bed so if you have a burning desire to see it, come talk to me privately.




This was my favorite thing.... there is a tower in the mansion with windows on three sides. It just happens that the bathtub is located in the tower. So if you're really daring and a little bit of an exhibitionist...you can lift the blinds and have a great view of downtown Provo. Or offer a great view to downtown Provo. However you want to look at it. (Note the rose petals on the floor)
One of my favorite memories was getting a phone call from Diane Monday morning. She called me and said she was driving by on her way to work... I opened the blinds and waved as she honked. I also got two other phone calls that morning. Apparently I forgot to sign my time sheet and people wanted me to get paid so they thought it was worth interupting me on my Honeymoon. I think they're right.





This is a picture of one of the common areas at the mansion. Pretty, isn't it?













And this is my friend Angie Hansen who made this experience possible. It was really a thrill for me to come down the stairs from the Penthouse with my new husband the morning after our first night together and see Angie on duty at the Hines Mansion. I just started giggling uncontrollably. I felt like I had been busted. I love you Ang! Thanks for everything...especially the extra bacon!

Michael and Karen's Open House

OK... so when I was first divorced in 1998, I laid awake at night and wondered how I'd ever decide between Ned and Marty. I was sure that both of them would want to marry me now that I was on the market. Imagine my surprise when neither one of them proposed to me. We did manage to make a lot of fun memories and enjoy our friendship over the past 10 years. Here's a picture of Ned and Marty and their wives. Ned married Miriam in 2006. Marty married Marjorie in 2007, I married Michael in 2008 so if our fourth Musketeer follows suit, Diane will get a spouse whose name starts with M in 2009.



I think we belong on the cover of a magazine.
Move over Brangelina and Bennifer. It's Kaichael.










Even the birds came to celebrate. Or maybe celebath.












This is photographic evidence that I crack this man up. I love it. He thinks I'm funny and I don't have to explain my jokes to him. He's so clever.











My friend Judy let us have the party in her beautiful yard. The kids loved playing on the swings, and the people were fed circus animal cookies, Pulled pork sandwhiches, and a variety of delicious cake and nutritious cake. (Carrot cake is considered a vegetable serving right?)

Wedding traditions

I managed to get most of it in his mouth and save a dab for his schnoz. The Schnebly Schnoz. (used for schniffing schmells and schuch.)

I didn't even have Wheaties for breakfast and still I managed to huck the bouquet so high that it's out of the picture frame. Luckily no one lost an eye, and no birds were knocked out of the air.

My cute niece Caitlin managed to pry the bouquet away from limp wrists Diane.

Jared was really surprised when I told him that he wasn't going to Vegas with us.
