BOAT FOR SALE!!!

Call Kevin and the boat is yours!

California!

For Tori's birthday, we decided to take her and Tasia to California this past weekend. We had such a good time. On Friday morning, we woke up at 2:00 a.m. and left Mesa at 3:30 a.m. to spend that day at Six Flags. The day was great! We got there about 10:15 or so and stayed till they closed at 6:00. There weren't any lines so we rode non-stop! As we were driving to our hotel, Tori goes, Tab I think I'm going to throw up. Sure enough! Just as I got a few plastic bags together... Blah!!!





Then, on Saturday, we went to California adventure. It was great...the day was nice, we got to ride a few rides, got a little tan. It was fun.




Then, on Sunday, Tori's birthday, we went to Disneyland. It was pretty cold that day and super busy!!! Annoyingly busy. Of course, we don't get to the parks until about 2 or 3 in the afternoon so around 6 when it started raining, everyone cleared out. They announced that they might not do the firework show so everyone left. Perfect for us, we rode and rode and rode without lines. It was great. So, here are some pictures of the fun we had!

Trail Ride

Two weeks ago, we went down to Safford for our nephew's baptism. While we were there, we went on a trail ride with my dad, mom, and sister, Tori. We had such a good time! While we were out we saw many forms of wild life: bear, cows, javalina, racoon and rabits. Kevin took us down this path that was a complete dead end. I think at one time it lead to somewhere but it was totally washed out. Because of that, we were almost late to the baptism. The baptism was nice. It's cute to see the kids. Then we all ate at the church. The guys in Kevin's family decided that they wanted to play basketball. It was so cute seeing his dad, brothers, and brother-in-laws all having so much fun. The girls left the church and just went back to the house. We needed to tell them something and no one was answering their phones so Malerie and I drove up there. When I walked in, they all were drenched in sweat and were beat red! It was so funny! They all had tons of fun. It was cute to see. Then, of course, we watched the Super Bowl at Jason and Shila's house. The food, company, and game was all great! Thanks Shila :) I love just hanging out with friends. It's definitely on my top favorite things to do. Here are some pictures from the trail ride:

Snowboarding

So, a few weeks ago, we went on another snowboarding trip. We had a lot of fun hanging out with everyone and just spending time with friends. Here are some pictures :)

Rolin' right along

Well, to those of you who occasionally check in to see if I have written anything, I'm sorry. I am so awful about it. By the time I get home from work, I just want to eat dinner and hang out with Kevin. I will think about posting somthing and then I want to put a picture with it but I don't have one so I won't post. Well, I have a few recent pictures so now is a great time!

Let's start with snowboarding! The weekend before Christmas we went to Sunrise and went snowboarding. It was great! Kevin got to ride with the guys and I got to ride with Crystal. I was better last winter but hopefully with a little more practice things will improve.




Then comes Christmas. It was so much fun to have our first Christmas together. We both spent entirely too much money on each other. Kevin got me a necklace from Tiffany that I have been wanting for a really long time. It is so cute! Then, a brown and pink Nixon Scout watch. We are matching now except his is black and white. Then, to help improve my snowboarding skills, this super cute! pink jacket!!! I love it :) Plus a few more things. I got Kevin a gift certificate to go sky diving, private wakeboarding lessons in California, clothes, a Burton travel bag, Fox riding gear, spoiled! It was cool to be just the both of us, in our house, with our own Christmas tree and decorations. Then, we went down to Safford on Wednesday afternoon and spent time with all sides of the family. It was really fun!






Then, for New Year's we decided to pay a visit to Ben and go to Vegas. It was pretty crazy! Definitely something that I am glad I experienced but will probably never do again :) We ate, walked down the strip, watched the water show at the Belagio, did a little dancing. It was cool. Then, before we left, Kevin and I went to the temple there. We brought everything that we needed but I realized that I forgot to pack a skirt. So on the drive there, we are looking for any place to stop and get a skirt. We found a Ross so pulled in. We were in a hurry so I told Kevin I will run in and find one really quickly. So, I did exactly what I said. Ran in, grabbed the first skirt I saw and ran out. It was less than 5 mintues. When I came out, Kevin was gone! I started searching, pacing, and then freaking out. He was gone! In my head I was wondering what I was going to do. It wasn't exactly the best part of town, I was alone, without a phone (it was still in the car), in Vegas and my husband left me. I could call my dad from a payphone, he has an 800 number. After like 10-15 minutes, Kevin showed up...with McDonalds!!!





Lastly, today is Kevin's 31st birthday!!! I don't think of him as old but I think of 31 as old :) I think it's been a good one for him. Last night we ate at The Meling Pot in Scottdale. It was really cool. We got to dress up nice; I wore this little black dress with heals and Kevin dressed nice as well. I made reservations for us. When we got there, we had our own little private booth where we could close a curtain and block everyone else off. It was fun to kiss during dinner at a public place but no one could see us :) Then, they had balloons, a birthday card, took a picture of us and put it in a frame. It was a lot of fun. The best part was definitely desert! We had milk chocolate and peanut butter in our fondue. Then, they gave us strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, rice crispy treats, brownies, graham cracker crumb dipped marshmallows, etc. It was SOOO good! I wish I would have eaten less of the rest of the meal so I could have had more desert. It was amazing. We had fun and it was something different. Then, this morning, I woke up at 4:30 to make Kevin breakfast before he went to work. When he got home, I made hamburgers, french fries, milk shakes, cake and ice cream for him. Then we went and got a couples massage. It was so relaxing! Now, I am headed off to watch the Cardinals game with my amazing birthday boy!





Well, I guess that's it for now! I will try to be much better about keeping things updated :)

I LOVE THE LAKE!

So, the lake is one of our VERY VERY favorite things! This is how Kevin and I met, fell in love, and just have a good time! I am getting so hyper just thinking and writing about it! We went last night and had so much fun. It's always a good time. If we could, we would live on the lake and go out every single day! Here are some pictures from this summer :) Ahh!!! I LOVE IT!!!
