I went to see the sneak peak of this movie with my family on Monday night and I have to say that I liked it. My standards were pretty low because I thought it was a church movie and would be lame like "The Singles Ward", "The RM", and "Sons of Provo" (sorry Auntie Lynette I didn't like that movie). So, that being said this movie didn't have anything to live up to but it was good. It really isn't a church movie and there are some kind of popular actors in the film. It is based on true events of the Highland High (in Salt Lake City, UT) Rugby Team. I am a fan of rugby so I really enjoyed seeing a sports movie about rugby. My only complaint was that I wished that there were more Poly's in the movie since the majority of the people that play rugby in SLC are Polynesian. The movie is predictable like most sports movies, but it is a small movie and word on the street is that if this film doesn't have a good opening weekend then the Hollywood bigwigs are going to yank it. This is a good family movie. I know that it opens this weekend and is playing at a lot of the theatres here in AZ. If you feel like watching a good little family flick I suggest seeing "Forever Strong".

I'm An AUntIE!!!
My sister Camille and her husband Kyle finally had there baby! Yay...woot woot!!! She was technically 3 weeks early according to one of the due dates that Camille was given, but we (being Camille, Kyle and the whole rest of the family) all thought that the true due date should have been another one they gave Camille which was September 21st. Anyways she is here and I couldn't be happier! She is healthy and the doctor even said that there is no way that she is 3 weeks early. She is adorable (I know I am bias...but who cares) and I AM SO IN LOVE WITH HER!!!
Baby Facts:
Name: Brynlee Rohner
Weight: 7 lbs. 3 oz.
Height: 19"
Time of Birth: 6:39am
These are a bunch of pictures from her first day on earth. I love her and can't wait to continue to spoil her! (These are two collages that I made with the same pictures)

OLymPicS!!!
This is the DOPEST Olympic commercial on the air! If you haven't seen this commercial then you are missing out and I highly encourage you to watch this. Seriously, every time I watch it I get goosebumps. Marvin Gaye singing The Star Bangled Banner is classic and so smooth. U-S-A!!!
Any huge fan of the olympic coverage and Michael Phelps should stop reading now. Don't be mad if you are still reading because you were forewarned! I am amazed at Michael Phelps and that he was able to accomplish his goal of eight gold medals. I'm not hatin' on him for that, but more irritated with the media and there complete obsession with him. Weren't there three other swimmers on each of the relay teams that helped to make his eight gold medal dream a reality? What about Dana Torres and winning a silver medal at the age of 41? What about Nastia Luikin and Shawn Johnson winning the gold and silver medal in gymnastics all around? The first time the USA has ever done that. I understand that Phelps just made olympic history, however aren't there a lot of other athletes that have worked hard and waited a long time to accomplish there goals in representing our country and trying to bring a medal home. Now there stories are being pushed to the back pages and out of the spotlight. What ever happened to a fair and balanced media...oh I forgot we haven't had that for a long time.

ReALiTy TV ObSeSsioN
Hi my name is Alisa and I am addicted to reality tv! Okay so I know I have an addiction and that is the first step right. Well, the show that I have grown to love is So You Think You Can Dance and am so happy that Joshua won!
The channel that helps to feed my addiction the most would definitely have to be Bravo! My latest addiction has been the show Flipping Out. Love it and all the people on it. I love seeing all the renevations and the transformations made with each piece of real estate.
Let me be honest though that the main reason that I watch that show is the drama! Who else brings more drama then the biggest diva on that show....Jeff Lewis.
He reminds me of an old boss of mine that shall remain nameless. Screw that...his name was James Davenport and he made my life a living HELL. He wrongfully fired me, but oh well I got a fat settlement from him...hahaha suck it James! Anyways Jeff is funnier then James ever was.
My other show that I became addicted to was Real Housewives of New York City. These lady's have way too much time and money. My favorite lady had to be Ramona. She is such a crazy!
I love cooking shows and Top Chef is definitely my favorite cooking reality show. I love how intense each contestant is about food and how creative they all are.
Project Runway is by far my favorite. I can only wish that I could be that talented and created to go into a grocery store and make an amazing outfit. I wish that Tim Gunn could tell me to make it work!

SuMMeR!!!
I have been pretty busy this summer. My family went up to Utah for a little over two weeks. It was fun just being up there and spending time with all of my family. While we were up there we took Devin to the MTC. That wasn't that fun, but I know that he is loving being out in Portland, OR. Jennica was able to come out to Utah from Seattle while we were there which was so fun since I haven't seen her forever. I also went with her to her ultrasound so I got to see my little nephew and hear his heartbeat. That has to be the coolest thing ever. My mom's side of her family had there family reunion while we were there so we got to see everyone and catch up. They set up this big slip n slide and I have to admit that I felt a little gipped about it since all I got was a water fight when I was little with water balloons. It was boys against girls and for some reason us girls would always end up trapped in the nasty bathroom. Man did we suck at strategy. I did do a lot with my family while we were there. We ate a lot, saw a bunch of movies, bowled, hiked, played games, and just hung out. All in all it was a great relaxing vacation to get away from the Arizona heat. Here are some pictures from my trip.
Apparently Jennica and Devin loved this dessert at Tucano's and I loved taking pictures of them loving it because I had 8 pictures of them with the dessert.
The syblings that really love Devin prior to him going to the MTC. Just kidding Camille and Katelyn...kind of
Devin showing off his nametag
Alexa, Breanna, and Shania bein gangsta' at the bowling alley

Playing Mormon Bridge that we all became obsessed with. Thanks Melinda!!!

CaTch UP TiMe!!!
I have been pretty busy with life lately. Devin had his mission farewell last week and we had some of our family come in from Utah. We had so much fun hanging out with everyone and I was so happy that they were able to come down and enjoy our wonderfully HOT AZ summer with us! I'm pretty sure that all weekend long all we did was EAT!!!
Kyle (my brother-in-law) and his parents were nice and took us all to the lake. We had a lot of fun and the water was perfect! Here is me and Katelyn in the car taking pictures.
Since this is Devin's last week here in AZ before he goes to the MTC we have pretty much been playing and having fun. We have gone bowling a total of three times this week. I went to see "The Hulk" and "Get Smart" and gone out to eat I don't know how many times this entire week so Devin could eat at all of his favorites one last time!
I loved "Get Smart"! Maybe I am a little bias because I love Steve Carell and of course Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock. There were great one liners in this movie and I laughed quite a bit. So if you are wondering if you should see it. I would have to say yes.
Ahhhh...I just had to add this. I mean look at him...honestly need I say more. Anyways moving on to the next thing.
"Hulk" exceeded my expectations. Not that I really had high expectations since the last time this movie was done is was HORRIBLE. I have to say Marvel has done a really good job this summer with "Iron Man" and now "Hulk". If you liked "Iron Man" then I bet you would like "Hulk". I didn't like it better then "Iron Man", but it was a good movie.
One place we ate at was Rosa's. If you ever come to Mesa, AZ you definitely need to go to Rosa's. This is are favorite mexican place! We went there twice this past week..that is how much we love it!
Devin sad that he won't be back here for two years and sad that all his food is gone.
I seriously can't believe how many times I have gone bowling this week. 3 times...what is that about? I used to hate bowling and would make fun of my mom because she was in a bowling league back in the day! We went earlier this week and so much fun we just kept going. Devin, Camille, Kyle, Me, and my friend Misi went last night and we got there for Extreme Bowling. Nothing was really extreme about it. It was really just bowling with the lights out and a black light on with other neon lights on the lanes and music videos playing. We had a lot of fun and definitly got our money's worth. It was $20 each and you could bowl continuously from 10-1am. We made it until a little before 1 and had fun!
Camille and her bowling ball and her prego stomach!
Devin and ME!

A Little Vacay with the Fam Bam!
This past weekend me and the Fam Bam took a road trip to St. George for my cousin Nichole's wedding and also my cousin Kurt's mission farewell. We had a such a fun time seeing all the family and just chillin enjoying all the fun festivities! Here are some pictures from our little vacay!
We went bowling which was fun and some guys were gettin pretty heated outside as we were walking into the bowling alley. It was funny becasue we were just talking about how many crazy's hang out at bowling alleys...lol.
Katelyn and Nichole outside the temple. Nichole's dress was so pretty. Katelyn's dress had people asking how it was made. One lady even came up and lifted her dress up and was trying to figure it out. It was funny!
Cade, Neil, and Braden waiting outside the temple for Nichole and Casey to come out.
The two future (very near future) missionaries! Kurt and Devin love to have their pictures taken. Kurt is going to the Dominican Republic and Devin is going to Portland, OR. Kurt gave an awesome talk on Sunday!
Nichole & Casey's cute cake!
SISTERS!!! Me, Camille, and Katelyn...just missing Jennica. Wish that she could have been there!
Camille and her husband Kyle. Awww the cute little parents to be!
I had so much fun getting together and seeing all the family. I am so lucky to have such a great family and can't wait to get to see them all some more throughout the summer!
