Never a Dull Moment

Yes it is another post about Mylo. Sorry guys, but until I have children to post about this is what your going to get & it was too funny so I wanted to share it w/ all of you :)

Yesterday I was using the bathroom in our bedroom when I realized I needed TP aka Toilet Paper, so I hollered to Mike to get me some Toilet Paper. Well a few minutes later I heard Mike yell, "Call for Mylo". So I did, and here came this little doggy running w/ something bouncing on the ground behind him. He had a really scared look on his face & kept looking back to see what was going on then I saw what was causing all the confusion...A roll of Toilet Paper!! Mike had tied it up to his leash. It was soo funny!! So instead of using the Toilet Paper right away I opt'd to take a pic because it was too cute!!

This doesn't quite capture how funny it was but at least you'll get the idea :)

Where Has the Time Gone???

Ok, so I'm a wee bit behind in updating my blog but lots of fun things have been going on :) First off last weekend I hooked up my friend Brett w/ a Cute girl from work, Ashlee. Yes I arranged the Infamous Blinde Date!! But Mike & I tagged along in hopes to not make it as weird, because going out with a married couple on a blinde date Always makes things less awkward. But I have to say it was Alot of fun!! We went to dinner & then to Hee Haw Farms over here by our house. We went down the Hay slide, rode the hay ride to the haunted forest & I forgot how scared & jumpy I can be but I was quickly reminded of that as I was the only one screaming most of the time. Mike definately got a kick out of that! Then I was forced to watch the Grudge with them (which I hate...but in hopes that this would lead to snuggling for my hook-upee's I agee'd) It was fun & I think they had a really good time too so...here are some pics of the fun date :)


Then Saturday, Mike & I went to the REAL Soccer game. Mike loves soccer so I have grown to enjoy it as well...well atleast in person & not on TV. They just opened the new Real soccer stadium & so we had to check it out & let me tell ya it is pretty cool!! And Real Won!!! There isn't much of a story to share here but just some pics that I took (& we are definately better kissers than it would portray in that picture)



This past week I got to go to Pheonix for work & attend some events & finally meet many of the faces that I work w/ daily over the phone & through email. Well, the part that got me excited is that I got to see my brother & his family. They live in Mesa & I had yet to ever be to their place. It was fun seeing his kids & getting some one on one time with them :) Their little girl Oakley is probably one of the funniest kids I know & definately knows how to light up a room w/ her huge smile & those Big eyes!! Well, I also got to see some cousins that I probably hadn't seen in 4 yrs & take small trips down memory lane of our good ol' family reunions (that is my cousin, Heidi, w/ me in the pic on the bottom right)

It was fun & I'm glad they let me come impose on their evening (even if I did have to cram my not so small hips in between two carseats...;) ). And the weather was GORGEOUS so that was definately a delight!!

(sorry Becca, it would appear I didn't get any pictures w/ you :( )


And one Last thing because I thought it was soo funny! When I got home from AZ, Mylo came running to me wagging his tail and all with a BOW over his left ear! Yes, Mylo is a BOY and he had a Bow over his ear. Hmm...for a husband that hates it when I dress up mylo sure isn't above putting bows in his hair. Hmmm... Ok so the story is Mike had to take Mylo to the groomers while I was gone & when he went to pick him up he had a bow on his head & Mike thought it was pretty funny so he kept it on him for 2 days until I got home to show me. I will have to say it was pretty cute, but we got it off right after I got home but now I'm sad that I don't have a pic :( Next Time!! Thanks honey for taking care of our kid while i was away :)

Fun w/ the Fam & Friends

So when my family comes to town it is quite the Fiasco (sp?)! For one no one lives very close to us so when they come they stay for the whole weekend but don't worry We Love It!! I mean come Saturday night it appeared that a tornado had hit my house & I've become quite the clean freak so it makes a little bit nervous but Other than that is it pure Fun!!! I took a TON of pictures this weekend so I tried to condense it as much as I could (so some of the pics may be pretty small but I think they are all so much fun so if you want to see them bigger, just click on the collage and it will expand)

Well, my parents were in town because Tyson, my little bro, had a golf tournament in Heber this week so they decided to make it a longer stay & go to the BYU game w/ us on Saturday and so my little sis and her family decided to come up as well for the weekend. We had soo much fun. Friday night we went to Park City to see my mom & dad first because that is where they were staying for the golf tournament & we got some Grubb then went hot tubbing at their hotel. It was really cute because we decided to just walk across the street & since the weather decided to drop like 20 odd degrees & my sister lives in St. George & apparently they don't believe in coats in St. George, her precious little girl didn't have a coat!! (only teasing ya Amber) So to keep her warm we bundled her up in Mike's jacket (see pics below)! It was soo funny because this little girl does not hold still for anyone, but the second we zipped her up she held perfectly still until we got her out :) Well here are some fun pics of this cute little bundle of joy!! We sure do love this girl & since we have no children yet we pretty much claim her as our own when she's in town!! And Mylo thinks she's pretty great too (seriously...they have so much fun together). And Paige even said my name!! She waited until just before they were to leave but she did it & now I really know I am her FAVORITE Aunt :)




On Saturday we went to the BYU game!! The weather had us all expecting the worst so we bundled up tight, brought lots of blankets and headed to what could have been our last days...well needless to stay it was chilly but not as we had expected! We quite enjoyed ourselves & were grateful there was no snow/rain/wind to distract us from the game. But who would have known that all the pics I took, took up more of my time than me actually watching the game...Oopsy ;) It was fun though and of course BYU WON!! 21-3! Also my cute friend Brittany even joined us!! I'm so glad you could come Britt!!


You know we never had a dull moment this weekend! Even when we weren't at the game or hot tubbing we always had family and friends around and I just LOVED it!! Amber's friend Megan came over to hang out that afternoon along w/ my friend's Becca & Nate (we had some finalizing to do for our Big trip to Costa Rica!!) Then after the game Mike's parents dropped by (they were in town for a reception) and of course Brittany hung out & my old friend Brett Devine from High School dropped by as well!! We ate, we laughed, we cried (well not really), we remeninced, and of course we PLAYED!! Our friend's Tam & Dane were nice enough to let us borrow their Rock Band....speaking of which I think I told Tam we would take back to night...anyways, it was Alot of Fun!! Thanks Guys!!!


Well, since I always tease Amber for giving a play by play when things happen I better end this now before she has something to get me back with :) But hopefully you can see what a fun time we had!! Thanks to all for visiting!!! You are welcomed back again & again & again & again :)

Animal Cruelty...I think not :)

Ok so it is no secret that I like to dress up Mylo (wait til you see his Halloween costume) & Sunday was a pretty cold day so I felt he needed to wear his jacket while we went on our walk. Before actually leaving for the walk I thought he should wear his Hoodie and let me tell you he is Soo cute w/ his hoody on but I do not think he was a fan! Well, I had to take some pics of the fun & share what a cute little doggy I have :) And what a good sport he is!

The top left corner is my Favorite one! But I love how it looks like he is winking at ya in the pic on the right :)

(and don't worry he has a haircut appointment scheduled)

Happy Birthday Mom!

This Tuesday is Mike's Mom's Birthday!! So first off I would like to give a Shout Out to her for her Special Day! They came down this weekend to watch conference w/ us & of course go out to celebrate! We FINALLY made it to the infamous Cheesecake Factory where we only waited for an hour & a half to get our much anticipated table (last time we tried to go it was a 4 hr wait...needless to say we chose to listen to our tummies and go elsewhere)! The food was very yummy & filling! And Connie even got sung to! And even though we had to pay for the peice of Cheesecake they decorated it all cute for her!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

It was also conference this weekend & I really feel like our Heavenly Father really does have a sense of humor! Think about it...Saturday's seem to be filled w/ activities, chores, errands, & so on SO to help keep us inside on Saturday and watch conference...He blessed us with LOTS of rain!

But, I did get some great insight and I know that changes will need to be made in my own life. I will admit I had a hard time watching conference when I was younger but now I really do enjoy conference now as I am getting older and having to take on responsibility for my own life & actions, I really look forward to hearing what will be said and what spiritual insight I can grab from it to help me in my own track to Eternal HAPPYness :)

Fall Is Near...

Mike has had to go out of town alot for work lately so I've been stuck finding ways to keep me busy so I don't get too lonely & bored with out him. Well, last week my friend Becca & I decided that we were going to make our own Harvest wreaths this year. I made my Christmas wreath last year w/ some coworkers and I absolutely LOVE'd it and it didn't cost nearly as much as it does to find a good wreath at the store. So anyways, with Mike being gone this week I felt it was a good time to make them.

We found a great idea on the internet for doing square wreaths. Whenever I see square wreaths I totally love them & this website said that you could make them by using picture frames & wahlaa a great idea was born & that is what we did. We found some fun garland at Michael's crafts (which was 50% off) and went to work. All we did was paint the frames a goldish brown, then we hot glued on the leaves & I LOVE how they turned out!! It was soo much fun & it was a ton cheaper then buying a wreath like what we had made :) Anyways I wanted to share it with you because it was such a fun & easy way to get a fun/different wreath for the holidays. Mine is the reddish one on the right & Becca's is on the left!

Let me know what you think & if you have any other fun harvesty craft ideas please share!!!

A Little About Me :)

So Mike is watching a stupid movie and I really am not in the mood for watching a movie tonight so I decided to do this tag that my sister & sister n' law tagged me on like 3 months ago...oopsy! Better late then never I guess :)

The last Four jobs I have had:

1. Currently, I am an Inside Sales Rep at Marketstar: No I don't sell anything but I do assist companies that sell HP product (yes like the computer) & help them make loads of money :) It has actually been a good change for me! I love the people I work with and the environment!!

2. Marketing Assistant for Richmond American Homes: This job was great for me!! I got to be creative, plan events, tour our communities & help keep my boss organized! I loved my boss & overall I really enjoyed my job until the Market turned upside down and I was layed off :( hence...the job w/ Marketstar now :)

3. Warranty Specialist & Sales Manager Assistant for Salisbury Homes: Yes another job w/ a homebuilder but it helped me learn alot about building homes. But I would NEVER suggest managing the warranty department for a homebuilder, unless you like getting yelled at on like a daily basis :( No Fun There!

4. Receptionist for Integrity Direct Marketing in St. George: This was a pretty short lived job but the people were really nice & our boss took us to California Adventure Land & to an Anaheim's baseball game once. That was pretty fun!

Four movies I have watched more than once:

I wouldn't consider myself a movie buff but, I do really like:
1. What happens in Vegas! Soo funny!!! If you haven't seen it yet, you must!
2. How to lose a Guy in 10 Days! Again, I think this movie is soo fun & cute!
3. The Notebook! The first time I saw this was w/ Mike & this was before the "I Love You's" were said, so I was certain after watching this movie that he would say "I Love You", since it soo made you want to be in love (which I was)...well, he didn't :( But he did say them soon after :)
4. She's the Man! Mike and I watched this like 5 times after we rented it! We think Amanda Bynes is Soo Funny!!!
Geez, if you can't tell I sure do LOVE my Chick Flicks!!

Four places I have lived:

1. Rigby, Idaho - This was home to me for Many Years!! And where Many of my memories still are

2. Rexburg, Idaho - Yes I attended BYU-Idaho, or as the locals would call it the Y of I. Some of the best years of my life...before Mike that is

3. St. George, Utah - Me and my dearest friend Nicole moved here after college. We had the BEST summer ever!!! I will never forget that time...well, until she left me :( (Love ya Nicole)

4. Provo, Utah - I moved up to go to Massage Therapy school & this is where most of Mike & I's courtship took place :)

Four places I have been:

1. Maui, HI - So Beautiful!!

2. Cancun, Mexico - Loved the beaches

3. San Francisco, California - way fun

4. Moscow.....Idaho!! Yeah not as cool as Moscow, Russia!

Four Facts you probably don't know about me:

1. I've had the same toe ring on my toe for over 5 years now & no it's not stuck. I just like it & haven't had a need to take it off, maybe I should to check for some fungus or something...haha!

2. I was thrown out of a car when I was in 8th grade and am here to tell about it. I have 4 scars on my body from the accident that I use to always make sure were covered but now there are apart of me & I am just grateful that Heavenly Father gave me a 2nd chance!

3. I am very self conscious of my knees! I really don't like them!! They are chubby knees & one of them holds one of my 4 scars! It's weird because you would probably look at people and say Dang, I would give anything for those legs, her toned tummy and so fourth & me I'm like "Look at those Knees!" I know totally weird!

4. I want a Monkey! I've always wanted a monkey. I mean how cooler of a pet can you get??!!?? I'm sure I'll never get one & I hear they are really mean but I am certain that mine would be nice :)

Four Favorite Foods

1. Chicken Fetuccinne Alfredo - Especially at Pizza factory

2. Chicken Enchiladas - sorry mom but I really do like my version

3. Lasagna - a childhood Favorite

4. GRILLED CHEESE!! I order this everywhere - even if we're at a nice restaurant!!

Four places I would like to visit:

1. New York City - I would love to see everything there is to see!!! Eat everything & shop til I dropped!!

2. Australia - I've always wanted to go to Australia! Who wouldn't want to take a ride in a Kangaroo's pouch, pet a Koala Bear, surf at the beach! It all sounds soo wonderful!

3. Nauvoo - I really think I could use a boost in my Church History & what a greater place to do it.

4. Costa Rica!!! Ok, so I probably wouldn't have thought of this before but since we're planning on going there in November I better put it down!!! I am Way Excited!!!

Four things I am looking forward to for the rest of the year:

1. Well obviously going to Costa Rica!!! We're going with my bestest friend Becca & her husband. And even though we just went to Cancun in February, I am definately ready for another get away. Away from reality, work, household chores, etc!! I need this desperately & I can't wait to share it with all of you!!!

2. Put up Christmas Decorations!! I LOVE Christmas and the whole spirit of it! And...since I finally remembered to hit the after christmas sales I finally am getting lots of decorations to put up!! I can't wait!!! Now only if I had a bigger christmas tree........

3. Snowboarding!!! We didn't get to go much last year & Mike is still new at the sport but he is doing soo good & we already splurged and got him an early birthday present so we have to go LOTS so he can get good use of his new gear!!! We have soo much fun going together!

4. The Holidays! Christmas & Thanksgiving! I love spending time w/ the family and since we don't live really close to any, I like getting to take time away from work and just enjoying eachother and the whole spirit it brings! Plus I am still like a 5 year old when it comes to opening presents on Christmas morning :)

Well, hopefully you learned a little more about me! I won't tag anyone but please feel free to play along if you haven't done this one already :)

Am I a Golfer???

So for those of you that know my family know that I am apart of what you would call a "Golfing Family". Well, I think it made my parents sad to find that I, myself, wasn't so much of a golfer. I mean I did the lessons, joined Jr. Golf (where I only found guys to flirt with), played in a few tournaments and for the most part played the part as a golfer. Although, I lacked a very crucial element...The Love of the Game. Well, my parents soon learned that I was hopeless and let me do things that I had more of a passion for. Well, come to find out I would meet & fall madly in love with a golfer so the game continues to haunt me. Mike has helped try to develop my skill and even got me a way cute golf bag but still the Passion never came to find me.

Well, my work hosted a golf tournament where you could either get a team together and play or you could stay at work and work. Well my cute friend Becca & I decided that it would be silly for us not to play and to work. So we got the one & only girl's teams together & set out to show all those boys that we could do it too. Well needless to say we got last place, but I think I had the funnest time I ever had golfing & to tell you the truth I was really wacking that ball & found myself enjoying myself & the game of golf. Then & there Becca and I decided that we wanted to become golfers :) So the next weekend we brought our husbands out with us as well to prove to them that we could do it. I believe that they were somewhat impressed & enjoyed watching us try to show that we could do it too.

So Mom & Dad...maybe all your efforts didn't go completely down the drain! Your daughter may actually enjoy the game that she fought against for much of her life!!! Now my next challenge is convincing Mike that I need real cute girl clubs (and they actually will help me play better) :)

Here are some pics of my golfing adventures...

Labor Day Weekend

So...We decided to go to Logan for Labor Day weekend to visit w/ Mike's fam since we hadn't been up there in a while. We got up there Saturday afternoon & Mike's mom thought it would be fun to go eat at a Thai restaurant for dinner. None of us had really had Thai before but her so we thought it would be fun trying something new. Well...I'm not completely sold on the food but we had fun anyways. I will have to admit my favorite part was the appetizer (which I picked). The chicken was scrumptious!! And funny side note...while we were ordering Mike's mom ordered something & I was reading what was in it on the menu and it said Peanut Sauce. So I asked the waitress what Peanut Sauce was & everyone started laughing (including the waitress) & Mike's mom's face turned a nice cherry red, well I thought it was only because it was such a stupid question. Anyways, come to find out, I didn't exactly say "Peanut Sauce" but something else... I'll let you figure it out but it turned out to be a fun family joke, well atleast Mike seemed to think so. Here are some pics of our dinner:

For Labor Day we had all planned to have a relaxing day at Bear Lake & see Mike's grandparents at their cabin & of course get some well needed laying out & swimming in. Well, we should have known it was going to Snow there! How silly of us to expect otherwise. So yeah let's just say we didn't go but we improvised w/ the conditions and decided to go bowling. I haven't been bowling in quite awhile but I was certain that my Wii playing skills would get me a strike Every time! Well come to find out it's much easier to bowl in the Wii then at an actual bowling alley, but Mike was still very impressive! He got a spare or stike in EVERY frame but one durring our second game & of course took Victory!!! It was really fun & I think it's time to talk Mike into joining a Co-Ed Bowling League!! I think it would be Soo fun!! But I'm sure it will have to take a LOT of persuading considering my scores at the end of the day :(

Thanks Mike's fam for a Great Time!! And so you know in all the pictures it was Mike, Me, His Parents & his Sister Angie w/ her new hubby Dave :)

And I just wanted to post this because it reallly made me laugh! So whenever we are in Logan Mylo is a Pain in the Hiney because he won't leave their dog alone who is like 14 years old which is like a 100 years old in doggy years so let's just say he isn't up to much for playing. Anyways he doesn't sleep and he won't stop bugging him so whenever we come home he is zonked & sleeps hours (which we won't complain about). Anyways we stopped at the store on our way home and Mylo was sleeping & the sudden stop of the car woke him up & so when I looked back this is how I found him & he just sat there with no intention of getting the shirt off his face!! I took that as "Man did I have a Good Weekend"!! So of course I had to take a pic
