Definitly try this at home!

Dizzy Lizzy's

 

We had our annual summer party this past weekend. Full of a bike circut course over make shift bridges, a relay race that included 3 person teams, slamming a beer and dizzy lizzys, and of course the BB gun part. I have to say I am a natural at this part which is a bit shocking. Out of 15 BB's I hit the first three beer cans with my first 3 shots! Got the paper goofer in the heart too! Who would have thunk that, eh?

GO BUCKY!

The Bike Ride

Some highlights from the bike ride. Trying to get the movie of Andrew swimming, on the blog. That was a fun day, the weather was perfect and the company weird as ever!

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

Priceless, no? Now, Wachtel family, give this your best shot. Post a funny Jim story on the blog. If you don't know how to post, email me the story and I will post it for you!

Mom's grave

Matt and I visited mom's grave and I planted a few flowers. The Maple tree is beautiful and the site looks as it always does.

Milwaukee Day 2

Second day we did the Discovery Museum and then Bastille Days for food, the 5K, and music! Day 3 is next! Stay tuned.

Grays and Torres July 4th

Some more photos for Andrew, and anyone else wanting to do a easy 14er in the future. Pretty easy as 14ers go, we summited Grays, then Torreys and were home by 2pm.

Milwaukee Day One

The new art gig is going off! We had a barbaque that night and I didnt take any photos, so more photos from day 2.

View Atop Grey's Peak, 14k+ feet. Happy fourth!

New Hair Dos

My friend Dave and I were feeling a little hungover on one fine Saturday morning, and we decided that after our trip to the chinese buffet we'd stop in at the neighboring Latino Hair Salon to have our ears lowered. I think the results speak for themselves.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Sista! I hope your enjoying your day and having lots of fun! So, how old are you now? Can I even count that high? (hahaha...just kidding, your still a spry, young chickadee)

WE'RE DONE!!!

A couple of pictures from my Journalism and Mass Communications Practices lab end of the year party. This was reputed to be one of the hardest non-science classes here at the UW, so we felt we had ample reason to while-out.

These just in!

Some photos from a guy we met on my last two open water dives before my certification. The turtles were so cool and we got to see them really close.

Lacrosse Season

Here is what our coach had to say about our season this year:

We played in some tough conditions this year, but managed to set the following UST records:

> Most wins in a regular season and overall, 9 and 11, respectively.
> Highest winning percentages, regular season and overall, .818 and .846 respectively.
> First playoff win ever (2-1 in playoffs; 0-1 in 3 previous years)
> 3-0 in overtime games.

And, I believe, most importantly:
> Undefeated, 11-0, vs Div III teams

Every player on the roster is an important part of these accomplishments.

Congratulations!
Coach

and the only teams we lost to were the University of MN (Div. 1) and UM-Duluth (Div. 2). We ended up taking 3rd in the tournament w/ those two schools as first and second...it was an amazing season!

The sunset on the south coast after diving

catching up from Kauai

A couple days ago we went to do some sightseeing after a morning of surfing. Let me add that I am not a good surfer, but each vacation I get better. I stand up every once in a while, but it is not an easy sport. We headed off to Queens bath, a pool carved into the lava shell, but we couldnt swim becase the surf was too high. I did get a ton of photos and videos of the turtles in there. So cool. I really wanted to see some turtles and I got my fix. We went scuba diving the next two days. Sorry not any real photos. But we did see turtles and I did get certified. I needed to do 4 open water dives and now I am certified. We did two shore dives and the photo above of the sunset was taken after the first 2 dives on our way to dinner.

In Memoriam

I ran into the police officer that "arrested" me at Mifflin Days last spring, so I figured it warranted a trip down memory lane. We made plans for the same pose a couple of weeks from now. By the way, he answers to Officer Favra.

view of the beach by our house as well as a view of the house we are saying in.

Second day in Kauai, yesterday I arrived in the afternoon and was so tired to really do anything. Today we hiked on the beach, laid in the sun, and then surfed for a couple hours. Now I am drinking mai tai and sending you some photos!

TC's Spring Break

A little summin' summin' from my spring break 'trip' to the Twin Cities. In case you're all wondering what song it is that I'm butchering, I don't remember. However, credible sources tell me it was 'You Shook Me All Night Long" by ACDC.

Lacrosse

I played in my first lacrosse game today! It was exciting and fun despite all the cold! Plus we won all three games today (although I can't say I had much to do with that) which was awesome! What is up with everyone else?

Coolest ski racer ever, Ingemar Stenmark

Hey Wachtel's

Watched the "Wachtel's Year in Review" on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised at how funny it is. Has anyone watched it since Christmas? Marisa what did you think of it? I guess I should ask if Andrew or Dad even showed it to you... Give me the details and I will send you a copy.

Went skiing on Sunday at Copper and it was a fabulous blue bird day with great snow. Even did the hike Dan and I did last year. Photos of which are on the movie. Hope to post some of the photos Matty took.

Happy Spring!
