::Baseball Season has begun::

Bryson FINALLY had his first baseball game on Friday night. His baseball season was supposed to start on April 3rd but because of the wonderful Utah weather we of course had snow!
Anyway, he did awesome and had a blast. I love baseball season, sitting at the ball park in the nice warm sun what could be better. Hopefully it just continues to get warmer.

::Cocoa Cinnamon Princess::


Our best friend Cocoa moved on to doggy heaven today! Cocoa was born on October 29, 1995 and came into my parents home on December 25, 1995. She has been our best friend in the whole world and will be greatly missed.

Cocoa was, in human years, 100 years old so it was her time to move on but just such a sad day. I got a call from my dad today at 3:30 pm he had already been at the vet for an hour with Cocoa. The vet took an x-ray of Cocoa because she went from 80 pounds to 54 pounds and was not eating, in the x-ray they found 2 very large masses that they are assuming were cancer and we knew that it was time for Cocoa to go. I got to go to the vet's office to say my good byes before she moved on. I just wanted to say how much I love her and how much I am going to miss her!

WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED!

::WTW - 2009::

Well, my birthday was on Saturday April 4th! I loved it and had the best time in the whole world! It all started on Friday when my family took me to dinner to Tepanyaki! Love that place. Jeremy got me the roses up above and had them sent to my work on Friday. I loved it and was so surprised!
On my birthday my friends Jenn, Chandra and sister Chelle all went to Falling Water's Day Spa to get ourselves some Glitter Toes. If you have never heard of this or done this you should. It is awesome. I found out about it from my friend Rachel who is actually a nail tech at the day spa! Everyone should call and make and appointment. We tried to show them off but it didn't work out very well but take my word for it they are awesome!
Saturday evening was the BEST birthday party I have ever had! Jenn did a great job planning it for me! It was our very own WTW! (white trash weekend)! We started off the night at 5 pm by having "arts and crafts" time. Our friend Jeff made some great stencils and bought spray paint and we made our very own WTW shirts.


Here is our stencil that Jeff created for WTW. It says "White Trash Weekend" and has a picture of a trailer on it! It was so great!

My cutest bestest friend Jenn in her WTW shirt. She was the party planner and was the best party planner ever. She will be planning my b-day parties for the rest of my life!!!

After arts and crafts time was over we headed to La Luna for mexican food! It was so much fun. My mom, sister, Tyler and great friend Krystal showed up for dinner. I was so glad to see them all there!Once we finished dinner our plan was to head to All Star Lanes for some good ol' bowling but when we called them they wouldn't take reservations and it was an hour wait so unfortunately we weren't able to go bowling but some of us did end up at gasoline alley for some arcade fun! I forgot how much fun an arcade to be. It was so much fun to just be a kid again!

Me and Jeremy after I beat him at a race car game!
Here is Jenn and I playing Dance Dance Revolution. This game was so much fun and obviously you can see just how much Jenn got into it!

Once we were done playing at Gasoline Alley we headed to the Westerner from some good ol' country dancing fun! I have to say this is one of my new favorite places ever. They have so much to offer! You can reserve a table by the dance floor so you can watch the dancing and also participate in the dancing and they also have Karaoke Kriminals (Yes they spell criminal with a K). I loved every minute of it! Pretty much everyone sang at least on karaoke song, even my husband and I never thought I would see the day that would happen!

Here is me and our friend Steve doing some swing dancing on the dance floor. We for sure put the other's on the floor to shame because we are that awesome! (sorry such a bad picture)
Here is Dan, Jeremy and Derek being silly and listening to some Karaoke fun!



Here is Jenn and I singing Deana Carter "Strawberry Wine" I loved it and so did every one else (when we were finished) I knew that I sucked at singing but actually listening to myself in a microphone in a small room I pretty muched sounded like a dying cow! It was really sad but still really fun and I would probably do it again!

Here is my husband and Dan singing to me! They were just awesome!

Well, these are just some of the pictures that were taken! I think all in all we took about 75 pictures but I didn't want a huge post of all pics so I just picked a few of my favorites! Sorry this post was so long but I just wanted to remember every detail of this birthday! I can't believe I am 26 years old. I still feel like an 18 year old which I love!

::The new Laptop::

Well, the old laptop is dead. Jeremy has been HATING our old computer for quite some time now but I just couldn't get over how expensive a new computer is. Our old computer had so many viruses and was so slow but it was still working so I couldn't really justify it to myself to get a new one. Well, it finally ate it and it was time for a new one.

We really really wanted a mac but our finances said the Dell was the better option for now. We decided when we are in a bigger home with a room designated as an office (and either of us actually have a job that requires us to have an office) we will get a Mac Desktop but for now we are sticking with the good ol' fashioned PC.

We got the new computer on Sunday afternoon and I can't believe what a difference there is already. It is so much faster and so easy to type on. The only thing that is bugging me is that I need to transfer ALL of my pictures from the old computer to the new computer. Any one know how to do this without having to spend trillions of dollars on blank CD's to transfer the pictures?

Anywho, that is basically the only exciting news we have right now. Bryson is heading off to the Grand Canyon with my dad this Saturday for a whole week so that will be the next topic of discussion. It will just be Bryson and my dad along with a few aunts and uncles but from my family it's just the two of them. I am so excited for Bryson to go on this vacation with his grandpa Doug they are going to have so much fun! I am actually really jealous but being so close to the end of the semester and to graduation Jeremy and I can't miss any school!

If you have any ideas of how I can transfer my pictures without buying blank CD's let me know!!!

::Thoughts of Randomness::

So I am sitting at work on a Saturday morning at 9 am and just had a lot of random thoughts floating through my head so I thought I would put them out there for you guys to explain some of these thoughts for me.

Thought 1: When did everyone get so crafty? All of the sudden I feel that all of my friends (both old and new) are all so crafty. Their homes are beautifully decorated, they scrapbook like crazy, they make all their own decorations, etc. etc. I could go on and on. I am not a crafty person but when I look at their blogs and all the fun things they are making I wish I had a crafty bone in my body.

Thought 2: I am not very good at this blogging thing and I want to know where everyone learned how to blog. Everyone else's blog's look so cute. Everyone posts pictures in cute orders on posts and I can barely figure out how to post a picture let alone trying to get them in any particular order. I see some blogs that they have 4 small pictures that they have placed in a cute square or their pictures are zig zagged all through out their blog and I can barely make a straight line with mine! Also, how do people post a link but just put "click here" and you can link to what ever it is they are talking about. Also, my header AAAHHHHH it makes me so angry that it won't let me add a cute picture on my header it will only let me put our names there and I hate that!

Thought 3: I obviously have nothing to blog about. I pretty much blog stalk when ever I am at work. I love reading blogs and getting caught up with friends and family and even with people I don't know who are the people that helped create thoughts 1 and 2. Everyone seems to have so much interesting stuff going on and I have nothing going on!

Thought 4: When did everyone get into photography and photoshop? I love taking pictures but the thought never crossed my mind to make that a career like so many others have. People take the most beautiful pictures ever and it seems like they just learned on their own and now they do it for their career and make good money.

Well I guess I don't have a lot of thoughts but these are the ones that for some reason I keep thinking about. Can anyone tell me when the whole world moved on to being a crafty blogging world and I am still here in the world where these things don't exist?

Nascar Weekend - 2009


We are on the road to Vegas! This past weekend Jeremy and I took a road trip to Las Vegas to spend time with some of my family and to go to the Nascar Race. We loved it. It is always so much fun to be with my family to just kick back and chill and hang out and then finish off the weekend with a fun and super fast Nascar race!

The Gang at the race. Temi, Seppi, Grandma, Toni, Jeremy, and me

The end of a great weekend.
