The Charlottesville Third Ward

Because I heard about the upcoming ward activity...

2011-04-19T22:08:00.001-07:00

I wanted to dust off this little gem of a video from the Battle of the Sexes dance party we had a while back...just in case anyone was on the fence about whether or not to go to the activity!

XO,

Anna

Best of...

Ice Blocking - January 2011

2011-01-29T14:18:00.001-08:00

Hi everyone!!! I'm doing things a little differently with this post and I'm hoping it'll work...I took A LOT of pictures at the activity today...so many that I REALLY don't want to edit them and post them here...so, in a second post, I'm going to do a "Best of..." for each person that took a turn going down the hill. In the meantime, here's a video...

I'm currently in the process of uploading the pictures I took into my Shutterfly account... Here's the link. (And here's hoping it works. I'm not sure it will...if not, just copy and paste this in your browser...http://www.shutterfly.com/lightbox/view.sfly?fid=3f6b430edc517bbebcfd7207a7b1fe91#1296340428757)

Just in case it doesn't let you in, my user name is my email address "annaquillon@gmail.com" and the password, without the quotation marks, is "cville3"...original, I know.

Enjoy!

There's been a request...

BYU v. FSU

2010-09-21T22:41:00.001-07:00

Jason Greene, Ashley Wilkinson, Margaret Patterson and I (Anna Quillon) went down to Tallahassee, FL to see the BYU v. FSU game on Saturday. Here are a few pictures from the weekend, in case you're interested!

Our GPS took us down some interesting roads but this one was particularly beautiful, so we decided we needed to stop...Jack Hattaway Road in GA.

Friends! (Anna Quillon, Margaret Patterson, Jason Greene)

Waiting outside the stadium for the game to start.

FSU's Sod Cemetery. Apparently they take a piece of sod from the field of their opponent if they're slated to be the underdog in the game and win it.

Ha, ha!

I was down trying to take a picture of Jason, Ashley and Margaret when this guy came down the stairs. He thought I wanted to take a picture of him so he stopped in the middle of the shot I was trying to take in the first place.

Fly over.

Go Cougs!

A view from our seats in the stadium. It was SO hot!

Hi everyone...(especially those of you that have been gone - we've missed you terribly!!) Just wanted to catch you up on our New Year's shenanigans here in Charlottesville...

The snow finally melted and, even though the forecast was calling for more of it on New Year's Eve, we had a New Year's Eve party at the Dudleys that was a lot of fun...as per usual, here are the pictures...(and a HUGE thank you to the party planner extraordinaire, Bri Keele, for putting the whole thing together and for providing the pictures for this post!) Enjoy!

Because I can!

My sister, Randi, and I decided to hike Humpback Rock today. Lucky for you, we documented the occasion. Here are a few of the highlights! Enjoy! (I love being the ward historian, by the way!)

So, at the beginning of the trail, it says that getting to the top should take about 40 minutes...we stopped and took A LOT of pictures...(mostly of us being silly)...and it took us a little longer than that! But we had fun!

Gotta love Fall in VA! Can't wait for the Leaf Drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Perfectly overcast (not rainy) day! It was sooooo cold up there, though!!

I fell as we were coming back down...oh well, someone had to do it!

Fun day!

Enrichment! All in favor, say chocolate!

2009-08-21T15:42:00.000-07:00

First, we had delicious, delicious food!

then the fun stuff started! Kristin and Elizabeth have been working on cooking inside a budget. I'd say they succeeded famously!

Kelly learned to do some sign language, and she showed us the words to "I know My Father Lives"

Erin has been learning to read the Book of Mormon in Chinese. She showed us how the gospel is tied into the chinese characters.

Kelsie bought a sewing machine for $25 at a yard sale and she showed us a quilt that she has been waiting a long time to finish herself! yay!

Melany played For Elise beautifully! We were all very impressed!

Adrienne tried to downplay her gardening talent, but how many of you can keep a plant alive, inside, for a whole summer? Not I!

Time for Dessert!

And I Quote

Ryan: Ryan is feeling kind of jealous. Ryan votes for manrichment. All in favor, say bacon.

Brent: Bacon.

Aaron: Don't worry gentleman, when college football rolls around we will have all the manrichment and bacon we can kill with our spears in loinclothes.

"This is intense!"

In case you're wondering, this says "Freshly skewered bacon for your Manrichment!" You're welcome gentlemen!
