No thanks needed.

So for some reason the internet at 'my house' refuses to let me put pictures on my blog. And that is why my blog has not been up dated for 1 and 1/2 coons. Also, I just noticed I start all of my blogs off with SO. Awesome.... ANYWAYS, when the internet problem is fixed I promise I will update you on all the wonderful happenings of my life, until then, no thanks are needed for the wonderful Christmas tunes I have provided on my page. Only the best for the ones I love. I invite you to please stick around and check out 'Dominic the Donkey', its Mikes new favorite Christmas tune.

New Moon

So last week I went to New Moon with my mom and sister for our monthly girls night out. It was fab of course. I just had to quietly mention that I am still 100% TEAM EDWARD. Just incase any one was wondering....

Disneyland!!!

I hate to brag but I pretty much have the most awesome parents ever! Last weekend they flew the whole family out to Disneyland for a few days and we had a blast!!

I was a little bummed a few days before the trip because our Walmart camera had finally bit the dust so we wouldn't have a camera for our family trip. But my sweet husband totally surprised me and bought his 'aspiring photographer' wife a very nice SLR Cannon Rebel camera the day before the trip. Even though I have no idea what I am doing with it I am having tons of fun playing around with it. Alright onto the pictures....




Outside our hotel. It was called the Candy Cane Hotel or something but I dont think I ever saw a candy cane the entire time lol.

So excited to go to Disneyland!!!



My sisters family at Disneyland!


All the lines were super long so me and my nieces had an impromptu dance party and entertained everyone in line- thats how we roll.



One of the best parts of going to Disneyland was that I was able to see my bestest friend Mckenna who recently moved out to California for work.


It was so fun to be able to play around with her like we were kids again! Ty kinda liked her too...







One day Marci, Avery, Sage and I got to go to a princess lunch. While you ate a super fancy lunch all the princesses came around and you could take pictures of them and get their autograph. Sage and Avery were in heaven!


Before we had to get back to the airport we killed some time in downtown Disney.







I think they had more fun playing in that fountian than at Disneyland!










Here are a few shots Mike and I got with our new camera
that we had tons of fun with on the trip.....












Thanks Mom & Dad for such a great vacation! We love you!

Puppy Love

Alright I admit it, Im a crazy dog lady. Im totally obsessed with my dogs and treat them like babies... I dont know where I got it from- not from anyone in the family obviously as I am the only one with pets. Anyways- The other day I had some time to kill before I went over to my moms house to watch Dancing With The Stars (something else I am crazy about!), and I took my boys into my room and snapped some family photos. Yes, I even dressed them up for the event. SHHH don't tell Mike. I dont have any sort of fancy photoshop or anything fun like that on my computer so I simply made them black and white and played a little with the contrast for fun. Enjoy!

Heres my 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier named Chopper. He's the sly one of the bunch, as you can tell by the picture. He is a total mommys boy.

This would be the newest addition- He is a 5 month old Olde English Bulldogg named Tank. The name fits him perfectly, he will eat anything. So far he has eaten carpet, plastic bags, dryer sheets, shoes, the list goes on and on. He is very nice and loves all my nieces and nephews!
Aww the first real portrait of the brothers. Holy Cow- go back and compare it to the 4th of July picture. Tank is ginormous!

Even though the last picture is cute- this is pretty much how they really act. They sure do love eachother and cuddle when they sleep but every minute spent awake they are usually playing tug of war over a bone or a toy or fighting to get to sit on my lap.

I just love my babies! I think its time for more!

Our little happy family :)

Help us not be homeless!

So we just figured out that Tank, our 4 month old puppy Mike got me for our 1 year wedding anniversary is an Olde English Bulldogge and not an English Bulldog, which apparently are 2 completely different breeds. Tank is going to be 70 to 80 lbs instead of 40 lbs.... woops. So instead of getting rid of our baby we are going to try and find a new place to live since our condo doesnt allow pets over 30 lbs. We are looking for a 2 bedroom condo/apt or townhouse/rental home from Springville to Lehi that allows pets, if you know of anywhere please let me know!!!! Hopefully we can find a place soon or hide Tank really well or else we might be living in a cardboard box.

Stuff, Stuff and MORE Stuff!!!

So I have been extremely lazy and have not updated this blog since, lets see.... the 4th of July! Even though all we do is work work work, sometimes we do fun things, here's what we have been up to...

At the end of July we went to Mikes moms side of the family- Family Reunion.... are you all still with me? Lol... It was down in Brianhead, UT. On the way to Brianhead, Mike, Steve and Ryan throught we should 'swing by' Las Vegas for the night, you know since its so close...



Mike and Steve enjoyed the buffets.

We squeezed in a little sight seeing. One of my favorite things to do is to watch the fountian show at the Bellagio.


The next day we were off to Brianhead. We stopped by Cedarbreaks, it was beautiful!
Hanging out with the fam!


Mike got a little fishing in at Yankee Meadow Flats it was so beautiful.




For 'Family Night' Mike took me and Brock to the driving range. I have been to a driving range once before in my life. So this was quite the experience.





Mike showed off his Happy Gilmore swing.


Here is Brock trying to be like Tiger Woods. He IS single ladies....

Next, it was my moms bday woo hoo!!! ( I wont mention numbers) but Iwill mention that I have the best mother! Happy Birthday Mom!






Brock looks very excited to be celebrating in this joyous occasion with our mother.


At the end of August, we went on a Bearworld/Yellowstone trip with the Liechtys. We had so much fun in Bearworld- its one of our favorite places to go!

The Liechty Cubs







Here's me and Annibelle- I love this potbelly pig!












If you havent been to Bearworld you should go- its so awesome to feed and get so up close to the bears!



We rented a cabin in Island Park, ID. This was the view from the back deck. What a beautiful place it was!

The cabin was amazing!





Here are some of my pretend photographer skills lol...






I think we spend most of our time at the cabin playing in the hot tub!






The next day we went to Yellowstone National Park. None of the Liechtys had been there before!















Somehow we managed to pack in most of the sites of Yellowstone into one day. It was awesome.




On the long car ride home I decided I was sick of my hair, so that night I dyed it brown and the next day I got some caramel colored highlights added and cut straight across bangs.... I stll dont know how I feel about it yet but its fun for a change! We'll see how long it lasts.
