The Best of the Best!

The rest of my trip in California went as follows: We went to Sunsplash, a super rad water park. I went with my sisters (Tiffany, Stacie, and Jill), my mom, my bro in law, Ben and my nephews Zander and Keaton. It was Zander's first time and he was super pyched to be there. It was fun--and even better-- I got some solid California sun. :) Of course I got my hair done by my mom and helped her out at her salon. I love being with my family! Then the rest of the week I pretty much just hung out, chilled, and enjoyed my time off of life, you will. My sister, Jill, and I played "It Came to Pass" just about every night. If you haven't played that game, you really need to. It's so much fun! Then on Friday, Jill, my mom, and I went down to San Ramon (San Fran area) to visit my other sister Stacie, who lives there. On the way down there we visited our good friends, Ginny and Jason Miller, who just had a baby the day before.

Then on Saturday we went back to school shopping for Jill and I got my copy of "Breaking Dawn" and read while they were shopping. By the way, I finished the book and I LOVED it. It was way better than I even envisioned it could be. We came back to Lincoln Saturday afternoon and that evening Jill and I went to Tiffany's place and went swimming with her and Zander and Keaton. They are too freakin' cute, I can't even stand it.

Anyway...on Sunday, after church, we had a really nice lunch and then held the first annual "The Best of the Best" Ommen Family 2008 survey. We copied it from something Lincoln did. Its where you vote for the Best of the Best of everything: hair, food, banks, etc. So we came up with all these categories, for example: person with best sense of humor, person who says 'like' the most (that was for my dad, because he hates how much we say that word), biggest book worm, best linguist, etc. We had 45 categories and everyone voted. Then we had someone count the votes for each category and revealed it after lunch. We were laughing so hard at some of the nominations. I mean, some voted for my Grandma Ommen as biggest pranskter. We tried to get everyone included in the voting, but that was just too hilarious. We are going to be making up awards for every one that won a category, which was everyone. Well, that was my trip...we will hopefully be going back to California for Thanksgiving, which I can't wait for!!

Me with my little buddy/nephew Zander. He is one of the funniest little kids I have ever met.



I am in love with this handsome little face. This is at our house in Lincoln when Tiff came to visit.


At the hospital visiting Ginny & Jason and their new baby. Stacie, Jill, and Letty with baby Oliver.

Mmm hmmmm...You know it. Cruisin' Lincoln with Jill. She has her license now and we spent many a hour driving in her 4-Runner.

Sorry for the butt shots...but these are the cutest buns EVER! I was helping Tiff give Z & K a bath after we went swimming at their place. SO ADORABLE!!

Jill, Stacie, and me after church. I am officially hooked to black and white pics. They really turn out splendid. Simply splendid.

The poster child for ugly pictures. Please take the time to zoom into my brother, Nick's, face. It is priceless and pee-in-your-pants funny. No joke.
