Utah Summer Games

I have been volunteering at the Utah Summer Games the past few days because of Kami. She had signed up to keep score and do the books for the basketball games, but there weren't enough volunteers to cover all the games so I got dragged along to help out. It was a lot of fun! More fun than I thought it would be - especially considering that I don't really like basketball that much. I've decided that basketball goes on the list of sports that I only enjoy watching live (joining baseball, soccer, pretty much any sport really....except football, that I'll watch on tv).

Watching the men's games definitely was the best part. There are some hot men that play basketball and they play it well. Kami and I had fun staring at the cute players. It got a little distracting though, I forgot to start the clock a few times cuz I was more focused on the player instead of the game. But since I'm so cute they forgave me :) One of the refs took it upon himself to find me a husband. Too bad the first three guys he asked were either too young or married. It did make me feel better that the ref, Phil, thought I was 20 which explains why he tried to set me up with the 18 year old. The best part of that night was when I completely embarrassed myself, without any help from Phil.

At one of the games there were no fans at all - just the teams, refs, and us - so it was pretty quiet. Since there were no fans we decided to that we had to cheer and make it a fun game for the teams. As we were discussing which team to cheer for, the realization came to me that #24 on the white team was cute! Unfortunately, I decided to relate that realization during a foul shot, in a louder-than-I-thought voice, so everyone heard it. I just slapped my hand across my mouth saying "crap, that was loud". Phil turned around and gave me the biggest smile that said "yep that was loud, but awesome". Luckily #24 took it well and just smiled throughout the game every time he looked our way.

The overall best part of the weekend happened today. Kami, Amy, and I were at the scoreboard table waiting to get the team's rosters when I hear from both Kami and Amy "Hey, that's Randy!" I looked up and indeed it was Randy from Kid History. (If you haven't seen any Kid History episodes go here NOW! and watch all 5 episodes. It won't disappoint, I promise.) That's when I realized that the guy writing down the roster was also from Kid History - he just has a smaller part, he had to give up his moneys. So we got to meet celebrities and watch them play basketball! Mark, the guy who wrote down the team's roster, was really nice and had fun talking to us before the game started.

We had to delay the game by a few minutes cuz one of the coaches missed the Cedar exit. A few guys came over to talk to us when I kept changing the time for when the game starts. They teased us telling us that we should be the officials and talked to us till it was time to start. It was one of those same guys who came to tell us good job at the end of the game, he also happened to be shirtless at that time..he totally planned it that way too. I saw him take his shirt off, wait about two seconds, then come to shake everyone's hand to say thanks. It made me smile, not just because he was cute, but also cuz he actually made the effort to try to impress us.

Sadly, Randy only talked to us when he came to tell us good job at the end of the game. But we had a lot of fun watching him play and trying so hard to not quote Kid History so as to not be distracted - I totally failed at that one, bytheway. Kami overheard the family of Randy's team talking during the game saying that they should try to bribe one of us by offering us Randy's autograph. She also caught Randy's mom giving him a face that said "she's cute, you should talk to her" but we don't know which one of us that look was about.

It was pretty much an epic day and weekend. I totally enjoyed it and I'm excited to see what else this crazy summer has in store for me!

Days 13 - 14

Yesterday I totally forgot to go see the kids until it was almost their bedtime. I figured that it would be better to not go over cuz I tend to make them hyper for the first half hour or so after I show up, so I didn't see them. It was a busy Sunday. Jake, Sean, and Craig came over to make some yummy treats for Shawesome's birthday party. They ended up staying at our house for 3 hours having fun. Then we headed over to the party.

Today the kids and I went for a walk that ended at my house. Nilla and Kami had fun playing with the kids. Most of my roommates had expressed how much they wanted to see the kids again before they leave, so I figured it would be ok to offer to let them sleep at my house tomorrow night - don't worry the roommies have all said it would be sweet :)

Coloring time with Nilla!

Popsicles with Aunt Katie - it's a tradition :)

Special Olympics end - Day 12 of kiddos

How to describe the way I am feeling....I know! I'm tired, sore, sunburned, exhausted, and happy! In comparison to the other days, the last day of the Special Olympics was pretty much amazing. There were many, many pros to the day and almost no cons.

This morning was the easiest beginning of all the days. We didn't have to worry about anyone not getting picked up because the drivers had to get the correct luggage packed, so they were going to all the hotels anyways. Not only was the morning easy, all day was easy. The drivers didn't need any real supervision from us. So instead of stressing over buses, Melody and I decided to entertain ourselves in other ways.

One of those ways was to play with Melody's hacky sack. Since we aren't talented enough to use our feet, we made up our own game - we call it hand hacky sack. It's the same game you just use your hands instead of your feet. We had a lot of fun playing that game. But I have to say my favorite part was that Nathan - one of the SUU co-directors for the games - and I had a lot of fun flirting over the radio as the hand hacky sack game was developed and played. I don't remember how the flirting started, but it was lots of fun and lasted for a while (I'd totally go out with him if he asked). Nathan wasn't the only one I flirted with today either. One of the bus drivers and I had fun talking today during his off time. Sadly I only got to see a glimpse of the cute BYU coach or I'd have tried flirting with him too (have I ever mentioned that I'm kind of a flirt when there's cute men around? Cuz I am).

We didn't have very many volunteers today - the least we've had all 3 days - so Melody and I helped out at Olympic Town every now and then. It was a nice break from the hot, hot sun. While we were helping out Cindy and the kids showed up!

I often thought that the kids were only happy to see me because they got cotton candy..

I love how Jason sticks his face in the cotton candy

Emily preferred snow cones over cotton candy

Finally, the kid will eat an apple! We've been trying for a week to get her to eat one. I should have know that I just had to tell her that it was MY apple and she'd eat it..

Just as Cindy and the kids showed up, so did a special guest....DARTH VADAR!!

They were mobbed as soon as people saw them. We had to have body guards around them when they were walking over because the athletes would just swarm them and block traffic. Shelly really wanted to meet one so I took her over there to meet a Storm Trooper. Except that she was so scared of him that she wouldn't even wave or give him a high five. To get her to not be scared anymore, the Storm Trooper took his helmet off so Shelly could see that he wasn't really all that scary. He was really nice and let her wear the helmet to see what it was like.

Shelly the Storm Trooper!

She warmed up to him in the end

She ran back to Cindy afterwards and told her all about her new friend

Olympic Town had a bean bag toss game. The kids had fun playing around there. Jason made some new friends while playing with the bean bags. The athlete would throw the bag, Jason would go pick it up, and bring it back to him to throw again. It was too cute!

At the end of the day Melody and I were trying to get our buses out of town so that we could be done! Every time one of them left we would jump on the radio and celebrate. When it came time to turn our radios in, Melody and I had the following conversation:

Me: Hey my friend, Melody!

Melody: Yes my friend Katie?

Me: Guess what! We are officially DONE!!!!!

Melody: (half through the radio, half heard from far away) YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Rochelle: Hey my amazing transportation girls

Us: Yes?

Rochelle: Are you officially done?

Us: YESS!!!!

-We were only a little excited :) -

Rochelle and Bobbyjo (the SLC directors and the big bosses of the whole games) had nothing but praise for us. Rochelle specifically asked me if I was coming back next year and if I enjoyed doing transportation enough to do it again (Yes and yes, Rochelle). Both Rochelle and Bobbyjo were amazed at how well we were able to come together as a committee in such a short amount of time. They are very excited to come back to SUU next year for the games and want all of us to come back as well. I'm all in!!

Special Olympics the Second

Today was very boring compared to yesterday. It started and ended a little crazy, though. I texted all our bus drivers at 7:30 to make sure that they were up and getting their people at the hotels to the different venues. We had to make sure that that someone stopped at every hotel - we have 5 drivers and 10 hotels - so that we didn't repeat yesterday and forget someone. After the buses each made 2-3 trips, we sent all but 2 away.

During the day, we just had 2 buses making a loop between the two different venues. Our job mostly consisted of answering any questions the bus drivers (or passengers) had, sitting around making sure the buses showed up at regular intervals, and joking around on the radio - that one sentence basically describes 10 hours of my day.

The busiest time was at the end of the night. Melody and I had to figure out not only where the buses were going tonight, but how we were going to get everyone's luggage to the right bus tomorrow morning. Luckily we have great drivers who are willing to go around to multiple hotels in the morning and pick up those people who are leaving Cedar on their bus. Hopefully tomorrow morning won't be too hectic for us..

Ups and Downs of today:

-I officially look like a lobster

-Cindy brought Shelly, Jason, and Emily to come visit me!

-Nilla brought COLD water and umbrellas to shade ourselves with

-Rochelle (our boss) loves us

-Found out that playing card games in the hot sun with no shade is only fun for about 20 minutes

-One of the BYU coaches is totally cute!

-Didn't get yelled at today

-The cute coach complemented us on our smooth running of the bus shuttling

-We actually got to EAT!

-Sitting out in 70 degree weather without shade for 10 hours makes me tired, grumpy, and very, very sarcastic on the radio (turns out most of people think I'm funny when I'm that sarcastic)

Special Olympics!

K, I've got about 10 minutes of energy left in me, but I wanted to quickly write up my crazy day. It started at 5:30 this morning when I woke up to jump in the shower. Jason woke up as I was rummaging around getting my clothes. I got him situated with a movie so that he wouldn't go roaming around the house waking people up and showered. After Jason and I were fed, I took him over to Cindy's. I was able to see the kids for a bit - Shelly is still pretty sick - and I was off to begin this next adventure.

Honestly, I can't remember what happened this morning...It is a jumble of random last minute set up details, finding out where everything was happening, and meeting the bus drivers. Melody (my cohort over transportation) and I had to figure out the bus schedules, making sure they didn't go over 10 hours - it was hard since they had all just driven 6 hours to get here. Then we had to worry about who needed to get where and when, and if we had enough time and drivers.

The biggest problems of today:

-Forgetting to send a bus to certain hotels, we had some people waiting for an hour or two

-Lost luggage, a good Samaritan turned out to be not such a good Samaritan, since the luggage actually went to a different hotel...

-One of the bus drivers didn't have a hotel reservation...he got it figured out, not too sure what went on there..

-Making one bus driver go over his 10 hours because we were bad at communication

-Getting yelled at at the end of the night because of the 30 minute wait for a bus

-Lack of cones for blocking off where the buses were parking, so we had to stand all day in the spots telling people to move

-Going far too long without food because we had to figure out the above problems

The biggest ups of today:

-Getting to know Melody really well (we spent all day with basically just the two of us at the bus drop off/pick up), we have a TON of inside jokes now

-Spending time with the Special Olympics athletes

-Having a radio and listening to the funny things that were said

-Ranking the bus drivers by likability

-Having Nilla show up with food for us!

-Being asked if we are free to come back next year to work it again (TOTALLY!!) and it's only the first day!

Day 9

I am tired! Today was set up day for the Special Olympics, which start tomorrow. I got to lug around chairs and tables and set up soccer goals for 3 hours today, it would have been longer if I hadn't had to go get Jason. Shelly is sick - she barely responded to me when I said hi - and Cindy didn't want Jason to catch what she has, so Jason is asleep on my floor. I have to be at the Colliseum at 8 am tomorrow morning and I doubt I'll be home before 10 pm. So basically, I'm not gonna be doing anything other than working the games till Saturday. This is gonna be fun! I'll see y'all again on Sunday!

Aunt Katie's friends - Day 8

I'm pretty busy the rest of the week, so I wanted to spend a lot of time with the kids today. I only got Shelly and Jason, Emily had to nap, but we had a blast!

We went for a walk to campus cuz Rachel wanted a picture of the "Satan" statue. Nilla wanted in on the fun, so she came with us.

Here is the infamous statue. Shelly is trying to have the same shape.

We stopped for a quick snack break

Shelly being Shelly

They loved putting things in the gutter. Jason is trying to catch them, at one point he was crawling on all fours trying to keep up with them.

Fun statue-thingy in front of the Centrum.

We hung out here for a bit while the kids crawled on them.

Hi my Shell-Bell!

Jason is pointing out that he is taller than Nilla

Shelly eating her snacks

After our walk, we went to my house to eat some dinner. When we got there Emily (my roommate) was home with her sister and nephews. Shelly instantly struck up a conversation with the boys and had fun playing with them. Jason was so shy that he wouldn't leave my side. He ended up coloring at the table on my lap for a bit. Finally Jason was comfortable enough to play with Emily. They had fun chasing each other around the house till Emily had to go.

During dinner Shelly was telling us how she was sooo tired and mid sentence she stops, points out the window and yells "birdy!" - she forgot about how tired she was. After dinner we went and played soccer with Shawesome, Nilla, and a whole bunch of friends from the ward. Shelly had lots of fun playing with everyone there. They were really good with her, it was cute to watch. Jason didn't want to play soccer, he just wanted to watch and be chased by whoever was sitting out "resting". At the end everyone was sitting around talking, being entertained by the kids. Jason went up to almost everyone trying to get them to spin him around or flip him. Nilla tried to get Jason to ask Sean to flip him. Jason got right next to Sean, did a 180 and ran back to me saying "no!". Apparently Sean is very intimidating, who knew? :) Jason warmed up to him after a bit, enough to let Sean flip him about 40 times.

I asked the kids if they had fun with my friends today. They thought my friends were so cool and fun. Shelly told me "you have a lot of friends...like 50 of them". Both Shelly and Jason were sad to leave, but it was bath and bed time. They were out cold before I had even finished reading a chapter of scriptures.

Kidlets - Day 7

Well, turns out that Aunt Katie's tough love is quite effective. The kids slept all the way through the night for the first time since Wednesday. That's pretty much all of note from today.. It was a normal, boring kinda day.

The Sabbath - Day 6

I didn't see much of the kids today. I had church at 11 and Cindy's was at 1. I waited till they were out of church to go and see them. When I opened the door I was greeted by three naked babies - they were in the middle of changing from sunday clothes to play clothes. Cindy said that they did really good in church, even though it was in the middle of Emily's nap time.

Because Emily didn't get a nap, I got sick of her screaming and put her to bed early. She did just fine until it was time for the other two to go to sleep. Shelly and Jason have been sleeping in Cindy's room - instead of up in the attic - because Cindy turns on a movie for them when they wake up in the middle of the night, which is why they've been waking up in the middle of the night. I was reading scriptures to them, but Shelly was being disruptive. I ended up sending her up to the attic since she wouldn't settle down. She screamed bloody murder at me all the way up the stairs and for the next half hour - effectively waking Emily up in the process and not allowing her to go back to sleep. I finished reading to Jason, warning him that he'd also be sent up to the attic if he came out of the room.

Since Shelly was still screaming, I went up and read to her. Then we had a silent fight over whether or not she would stay in the attic - Emily was crying through all of this, bytheway - and I ended up at the bottom of the attic stairs reading scriptures to both Shelly and Emily through closed doors. After 20 minutes Emily was asleep, mostly, and Shelly was still sniffling softly. I opened the door to talk to Shelly, hoping to find a common ground and get her to sleep. I asked why she didn't want to sleep in the attic, her answer was that it wasn't as fun. I informed her that Cindy would not be turning on anymore movies in the middle of the night, instead she would be reading scriptures if they woke up. Shelly still wanted to sleep in there, so we settled on her sleeping in Cindy's room only if she would be quiet while I read a few more verses of scriptures and if she stayed in there. I let Cindy know the new rules - no movies, only scriptures if the kids woke up - and I left for the night. We'll see the results of Aunt Katie's tough love tomorrow.

Playing at the park - Day 5

Remember when I said that my roommates don't let me sleep? Well last night was one of those days again. Amy and I were having too much fun watching movies and talking. Around 2 am Amy remembered that she needed milk and cereal, so like the crazy people we are, we went to Walmart - in our pajamas. We were the only ones there other than the employees, so it didn't matter that we looked ridiculous. I think we ended up falling asleep around 3 or 3:30.. I'm not entirely sure when.

So it shouldn't come as too big a surprise that I was still asleep at 11:30 when Cindy called. She wanted to take the kids to the park, but I had the car seats. I quickly got ready - meaning I brushed my teeth and hair, didn't even bother to change clothes - and walked out the door. I'm happy to report that Jason has gotten over his hatred of me (remember he was screaming that at me last night). They were all quite happy to see me this morning.

We went to Canyon View Park. It's a cool little park with a stream running through it. Shelly and Jason loved the stream. Emily was so-so on the stream, but I think it was because it was her nap time while we were there.

Here, enjoy some pictures of the kids - cuz I'm out of stories to tell.. :)

Shelly thought she was sooo tricky playing on this..whatever it is..

Emily hung out with me in the chairs

All the kids loved wearing sunglasses. At one point only the kids had sunglasses on and they thought it was so funny that the adults didn't have any.

Not the best picture, but seriously, how awesome is Jason's face?!

Cindy bought these fun toys after Shelly and Jason monopolized the other kids similar toys at the park.

Kiddos - Day 4

This morning the kids had a video chat with Rach and Mark. They were very excited to see their parents. Emily kept sticking her head right up next to the screen trying to touch Rachel. Jason had fun for a bit, then was over it. Shelly just showed them the millions of balls that Cindy owns. I had fun talking to them at least :)

My roommates complained last night that I didn't bring the kids over, so I decided to spend the day at my house. Kami was the only one home when we got there, so we played with her for a bit before she left to go camping with her family. Michelle came on a walk with Shelly, Jason, and I - Emily was down for a nap at Cindy's - to the water fountain on campus. I was expecting it to take a half an hour tops..an hour and a half later we made it back home. Shelly and Jason wanted to watch My Little Pony so I tossed it in. The next time I looked over at the kids Jason was sound asleep - I think I wore him out.

Funny story time:

When it was time to go, Shelly kept trying to convince me that they should sleep over at my house. I explained that I needed to talk to my roommates before they could have a sleepover. She really wants to meet my roommate Emily, not too sure why, but she's dead set on it. I think that's part of why she wants to sleep over, maybe then she'll actually get to meet Emily. The sleepover might happen, we'll see.

Emily had lots of fun sweeping the backyard before bedtime.

She even went and got the dustpan all by herself

She did a decent job of getting the leaves into the dustpan

On our walk, the kids grabbed some Shakespeare festival brochures. One of them had a map of Utah and the surrounding states on it. Jason walked all the way home with that map in his hand, every few minutes he'd ask me where on the map we were. Turns out we are in the big black spot labeled "Cedar City".

Jason apparently hates me...at least that's what I gathered from what he was screaming at me from the top of the attic stairs when I sent him up to bed. He'll get over it, maybe.

Kid's in Cedar - Day 3

Sadly, I don't have any pictures for y'all from today. I was a little on the tired side and the focus needed to remember to snap a picture was beyond me. I've decided that having roommates that enjoy keeping you up until 2 or 3 am and then getting up at 8 is not a good combination for mental awareness.

Last week, my friend Charlotte (we call her Shawesome - short for "she's awesome") talked me into volunteering on the Special Olympics Utah organizational committee. What I didn't realize at the time was that the games are next week.. which meant that today was my first and last meeting. Luckily, most of what I'm doing is implementing the plan that the SLC person has already made. I'm in charge of the bus scheduling and making sure that they don't leave with only two people kinds of things. It should be pretty easy, but time consuming. I'm not going to be seeing much of my house or the kids come Wednesday. I'll be one busy girl, I'm excited to be able to help out though.

When I got to Cindy's house I found out that they had had about as much sleep as I did. Turns out that Shelly didn't go to sleep till 10:30 because she kept asking for Rachel. Then Jason woke up around 2:30. They both ended up on Cindy's floor by the end of the night. I don't know how much sleep Emily got, but she was down for a nap when I got there at 11, so she must not have slept well either. Poor Cindy!! I quickly realized that what the older kids needed was a good, slow movie to watch and rest for a bit. Since Cindy's collection of movies for little kids is small - shocking, I know :) - I jumped on YouTube and found Jonah: A Veggie Tales Movie for them to watch. It worked miracles! Not only did it give Shelly and Jason a chance to rest, it gave me the opportunity to give them some needed TLC and attention. By the end of the movie they were back to their normal, adorable selves.

Cindy had fun with the kids while I was at my Special Olympics meeting. Turns out she also had a meeting at that time...who knew? Cindy certainly didn't, not until her secretary Paula - who I love, by the way, she's amazing! - called to ask if she was coming. Cindy couldn't think of anyone to call on such short notice to come watch the kids, so Paula graciously offered to tend them during the meeting - see why I love her so much? She rocks! After Cindy's meeting they went to McDonald's for dinner and when I showed up to watch them while Cindy went to yet another meeting they were playing in the backyard having lots of fun.

Jason enjoyed setting his chair in front of the door to the play house, effectively blocking Emily inside and making her scream. He'd move it two inches at a time until she could get out and then they'd start the whole process over again. I let it go on till I couldn't handle hearing Emily scream anymore - so it was about twice, maybe three times :) Shelly had fun sweeping the cement. I'm not sure if her sweeping made the backyard more or less clean than before.

After the kids were in bed and Cindy was home, Becca and Bryan showed up. They are on their way to California and stopped for the night at Cindy's. We had fun chatting, but I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open so I went home to sleep. I keep forgetting that my roommates don't let me sleep...

Kids visit - Day 2

Today was harder than yesterday, but not by much. I had Institute at 10 and Cindy had an interview at 11, but we were able to work things out so that I could stay for the whole class. I booked it across campus after my class got out to get the kids at Cindy's office - with a bag full of snacks in tow. The kids and I took a walk around campus before heading to Cindy's house. It was a fun walk, right up until the end when I realized that an hour and a half had past - which explained why the kids were getting grumpy. We ran out of water five doors down from Cindy's, Jason was so mad about it that I sat him down on someone's lawn and told him to find his happy voice before we continued onward.

We continued on to Cindy's - once Jason found his happy voice of course - and we were so excited to get to sit down! I fed the kids, put Emily down for a nap, and stuck a movie in for Shelly and Jason. After Emily and I had our naps, we all went outside to play. The kids love Cindy's swings. There are only two swings, but Jason came up with a good solution to that problem:

Sharing!

Shelly quite enjoyed pushing them, mostly spinning them around in circles. Thankfully, no one got dizzy enough to throw up!

The kid-lets come to visit!

With Rachel being 9 months pregnant, Cindy and I thought it would be nice of us to take Shelly, Jason, and Emily for the next 2 weeks. Mark and his mom drove the kids down here last night and left a little after 10 this morning. The kids seemed to not really realize that they're stuck here with us...hopefully, they'll be happy when reality sets in :)

The kids wanted snacks, but Cindy only had banana bread. Luckily I had stocked up on gold fish, pretzels, and fruit snacks. Once the kids knew that all that good stuff was at my house, they weren't satisfied until they had some in their stomachs. So I loaded up the kids in my car and headed to my house. I got them all snack bags and tossed in a movie to entertain them while I talked to my roommates. Kami and Nilla were home and way excited to meet the kids. Emily was a little shy of them at first, but warmed up to them before I took her back to Cindy's for her nap.

Shelly and Jason weren't nervous after I said that Kami and Nilla were friends. Jason especially liked it when Kami pulled out the Wii and let him play some Mario Kart. Shelly had lots of fun throwing pillows and squishy balls down the stairs with Nilla - I should say "at" Nilla actually. The kids did a great job of listening to me and playing nicely with the roommates (Jason kept referring to them as teammates instead of roommates. I'm not sure where that came from, but it works..). Amy came home for lunch and was amazed at how well they listened to me when I asked them to do something.

After a little bit the kids wanted to go on a walk. I took them over to campus to run around on the grass field near my house. It started to rain so we went inside the Sharwan Smith Center to escape the rain (Back story - the SSC is named after a past student of SUU and there's a statue of her in there). This is the conversation we had as we were walking through the SSC:

Jason (pointing to the statue of Sharwan Smith): "Is that Satan?"

Me: "What?!?"

Jason and Shelly (in rather loud voices): "Is that Satan?"

Me (completely caught off guard and hoping no one is listening to this...): "No..that's a statue of a nice lady that went to school here."

Jason: "Ok.." (still staring at the statue as we walked away - quickly)

The scriptures are melting

My roommate and I like to write messages to each other on the mirror in our bathroom with whiteboard markers. Usually it's funny quotes, reminders, or just to say hi kinda things. On the middle mirror (there are three medicine cabinet mirrors) we write out scriptures that have caught our attention, we change it up a few times a month depending on how much we like the scripture.

Well, this morning I woke up and got in the shower. When I got out and looked at the mirror this is what I saw:

Now, I'm quite certain that it was not like before I got into the shower. It has never done that before - heck the only time I've ever seen something like this is when the "very blustery night turned into a very rainy night" in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and the rain ran down the pages of the book. I was quite shocked to see it. I laughed really hard and then proceeded to write my roommate a message stating that I didn't do it...at least I didn't think I had :)

My New Year Resolution

Don't miss the last step of a cement staircase....

Happy New Year everyone!
