Back to AZ!

This weekend, I got Friday off again and we decided to go to RV. Sadly, we found out a few days before we were leaving that Mike's fam. was coming to UT for Emily's b-day. So Mike went and saw Emily during the week and we still went to RV. We had a great time but as always, there were so many things and people we missed out on! Hopefully we can catch everyone next time!

Look who we passed on the way!! We stopped and got a bite w/ the Wiltbanks in Cameron! We had a great time! Thanks guys!!

One of the main reasons for the trip was my little brother, Dallin's last play. He did SUCH a great job!! I forgot my camera at the play so this is an old pic. I can't believe how BIG he's gotten!!

We got to see Kaleb and Ash and cute little Koby which was SO much fun!!! I'm so glad we got to hang out w/ them!! Here we are watchin' the Sun's game. (We even talked my Grandma into coming!) The Spurs SUCK! (See video below)

Steve helped us accomplish a lot on this trip!! Including putting photoshop on our laptop and the Kelepolo's computer and cleaning up the huge mess our computer used to be! Thanks Steve!!

Someone else who got unbelievably big in a matter of weeks was Zach! Mike couldn't get over it. He said he kept waiting for Zach to start talking. It was so good to see Brian and Mel and Zach!!

Zach and Kobes met each other for the first time and became instant friends.

As luck would have it, we were able to meet up with the fam. again on the way home! We even got to see Jen and the kids this time too!! We didn't get to see them for very long but it was definitely fun while it lasted!

Happy Birthday Emily!!!! Sorry we missed it! We hope you had a great day!

I Am Blessed!

So a while back, Ashley (K) made a post of some of the things she's grateful for and invited anyone who wanted to do it to do it and I think it's a great idea! Since reading hers, I've been thinking about what I would put on mine and it's really surprising how once I start thinking about it, I really aM amazed at how much I have to be thankful for. So here mine go.

1. I am extremely thankful for Mike. I am so lucky that he's patient enough to deal w/ me every single day and that he doesn't think I'm a complete freak after seeing my not so good sides. He's such a great friend and a great husband. I can't even say how thankful I am for the way that he always meets me in the middle and handles everything.

2. I am thankful for my family I'm grateful that I've been able to have a good relationship w/ each one of them and that they are always there for me. My mom always told Celina and I that someday we'd be thankful for each other and I guess she was right! ;) I also have the blessing to be able to say what a lot of people can't in that I have really great in-laws! I may have just gotten lucky but I consider it a blessing because each one of them is super! Really, the more I think about it, the more I'm thankful for every one of them! (Even you Mel! ;) Haha! j/k)

3. I am thankful that I don't wake up every morning grouchy and dreading my job anymore! :)

4. I am thankful for the unbelievably excellent living situation going on here!! I wish I could post a pic of how beautiful it is here but it's night and I don't have one so...maybe later. I'm thankful for Velda and Steve for giving us the opportunity!!

5. I am thankful that even though I don't take care of it like I should, my body hasn't given up on me! Hopefully I can start pulling my weight a little more! (No pun intended)

6. I am thankful that when I did try to go jogging today, it was a beautiful day and a nice (safe) neighborhood and I had a cute little pup to come along w/ me. And that even though she and I got in a few tiffs, she avoided getting run over.

7. Some people say they are grateful for their trials but...I don't really know how much I agree w/ that right now...BUT, I am grateful for the things I've learned because of trials. And for all the things I know I still have left to learn.

8. I'm thankful to be a member of the church and all the things I've learned and great experiences I've been able to have because of it.

9. I am thankful for great friends. I've always been blessed w/ such great friends and I'm so glad that that has continued as Mike and I have made friends together and as those friends have gotten married and brought more friends into the group.

So I'm going to stop there 'cause that's where Ash stopped. Sorry it was so LAME and long but I'm already in a good mood just thinking about how the list goes on and on from there. Thanks Ash, that was a great idea! It really was fun! I may do it from time to time to keep myself thinking about all the good things! Next time, hopefully it won't be so long!

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INVITE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TO DO IT! IT REALLY IS FUN!

New Truck

I really wish I was posting that I had a new Toyota Tundra. It is the truck that I have decided I'm going get, some day anyway. But like a lot of things in my life my older brother M.jay got there first. He came to visit Cedar and didn't even say anything about it. Finally he mentioned he had a new truck. Ash and I ran to look at it and then told him he's making it into the blog again.

I made this picture look like it came out of a magazine because of his church clothes

Hilarious Video

I hate to copy posts but I watched this on Paul Anderson's blog and I cracked up. Then I watched it again later and laughed so hard that I cried. You probably won't find it as funny as I did, but you should give it a watch anyways. This is Andy Samberg in Dopple Ganger.

Harlee Brings Us All Together

I didn't have to work this last Friday and it was Harlee's birthday so we just kind of decided on a whim to go to Mesa. It was SO much fun!! I'm so glad we went! I just wish we could've stayed longer to see and hang out w/ everyone!
We stayed w/ Brian and Mel the first two nights and got to babysit baby Zach.

Sal, Mel, Zach and I also went to my favorite ever...Gelato Freeze!! I was a VERY happy camper! I had TONS of fun hanging out w/ Sal and Mel! Thanks Brian and Mel for letting us stay w/ you!!! & thanks Sal for being my chauffeur on Fri!


Saturday was Harlee's birthday party and everyone had a BLAST!! We're SO glad we got to go! Here are a few pics...Everyone had so much fun on the blow up waterslide! Here's Trist soaking the birthday girl.

M Jay made the blog!! ;)

Mike helping Harlee w/ one of her new toys. Doesn't she look SO cute?

I wish you could see the whole yard...it was a happenin' party! ;)

Mike shares his hat w/ Dax...

Probably the only one as tired as Jen and Nate at the end of the whole thing was Harlee! I wish I had a picture but my camera died right after this one. I took this when she and Mike were watching Ratatouille together. You could hear them both cracking up all through the house. It was cute!

Thanks so much Nate and Jen for puttin' on such a fun party! We had a really good time! It was SOO nice to see everyone! We miss everyone already! =( And thanks last but definitely not least, to Cord and Whit for lettin' us sleep, eat and leave! Mike's still talkin' about the breakfast you made Whit! Hopefully we'll be better guests next time!

Cozy The Pup

We want to thank everyone who suggested names for our new pup, and let everyone know the one we finally chose.

We chose the name Cozy, because of the way she acts. The first time we brought her home we had to leave her in the garage and she found a place to get comfortable in the smallest tightest spot on some ropes. After we moved those she kept jumping in our moving boxes to sleep. If she doesn't have those she curls up in a ball in a corner. She is also a true lap dog. If you ever sit down she jumps in your lap and gets nice and cozy.
