Laughlin Fun!

This past week we spent in Laughlin. We left on Monday morning and got home on friday mid-evening. It was alot of fun. On monday when we got there we checked in and then ate dinner, and then went to Walmart to shop for food for tuesday. On tuesday morning we woke up and spent the entire day at the lake. Alan's uncle rick brought a boat, 3 sit down jet skis, and 2 stand up jet skis. He also brought a blow up slide, and a paddle boat for the kids.

After a fun day at the lake we packed up our stuff and went back to the hotel. When we got back we ate dinner and then sat around and talked for a while, and then played around for a while. Then to bed. The next morning wednesday, we were able to sleep in because we didn't really have much planned. We woke up and ate breakfast, then went over to the mall. They have an outlet mall that was just across the street so we went over there and did some shopping. After the mall we went to the Riverside Hotel, and went to watchmans to look at all the watches. We walked around the Riverside for a while, and then we went back went swimming. We finally got out and got ready for dinner.

Thursday Morning we were back at the lake :)

Uncle Rick kept telling telling Alan to back up more and more and eventually he was in the lake.

On friday morning we ate breakfast and then loaded up and headed home! Too bad we couldnt be on Vacation every week ;)

Backyard!!!

When we moved into our house (3 1/2 years ago) our backyard was a mess. It had a tree that was 1/2 dead, and it had weeds everywhere. We would cleaned it up to where it was just dirt and then weeds would grow back and then we would clean it up again. I finally decided I wanted my backyard to look nice! I called a friend of mine to help us lay sod. We ordered the sod and had our friend come and clean the backyard and remove the tree. He also fixed up our sprinkler system! There are just a few yellow spots, but now that we added two more sprinklers everything is getting watered. I love my green grass/Backyard!

After.....

Happy 4 Year Anniversary!

On June 17

Alan and I celebrated our Anniversary! I can't believe that we have been married for 4 years!!!

In march we also got to go to Knott's Berry Farm. We really had a blast. We were able to ride some rides, have my nephews birthday party with Snoopy, and hang out with the family!

One night we went to the Medieval Times Tournament and dinner. We really enjoyed watched the Knights Fight each other. We were the red team and Our Team Won!

Other than those fun activities in March we haven't really done much. Right now I am on summer vacation. Work ended in May so I have summer Off. However, I am not taking a break, I have been in school for the last 3 weeks! I am taking my last class and then I will be able to submitt all my stuff for nursing school. Once I pass Chemistry then I will be able to do that. I only have 2 more weeks and I will be done with the class. I really enjoy taking Accelerated courses because they are fast, but more difficult, but you get done with them fast. As for Alan he is still working hard!

Wedding and Birthday.....

On march 4th we flew to Utah for my brother Thomas' wedding. He married Mandy, a girl from Blanding in the Logan temple. I had never been in the Logan temple so that was fun to be able to go inside, and see what it looked like. On saturday, March 6th we woke up and my dad made us breakfast and then we got ready for the wedding. My mom and two sisters and my niece all dressed alike. The sealing was really good, and it brought me memories of my own. I love to attending sealings just for that reason. We are so happy for Thomas, and wish him the best of luck!

After the wedding we took pictures, and then went out to a mexican food place. We ate enchiladas, tacos and burritos, and of course chips and salsa.

Then today I celebrated my 23rd birthday! Alan made reservations at the Melting pot for us to be able to go to and enjoy dinner together. It was a lot of fun. When we first got there and sat down at the table there were flowers there, I didnt know what they were there for until Alan told me those were for me! This was the first time we had been to the melting pot for dinner, so we were new at the whole thing. We got the 4 course meal and began diggin' in. First we got a cheese dip, which you dip chips, bread, apples, and veggies into. It was really good. After the cheese dip then we had a salad. After the salad was the entree which consisted of meats and veggies. It was fun to be able to put meat into the pot and let it cook, and then eat it. After our entree was time for dessert. Before dessert they brought me out a card that wished me happy birthday! Then we got out dessert which was white chocolate and apple spices and apple dices in the white chocolate and we dipped marshmellows, rice crispys, brownies, strawberries and bananns into. It was soooo delicious!! I love the Melting pot!

For my birthday Alan got me a sewing machine! I want to starting making stuff so he got me one... I am so excited!!
