Labor Day Weekend 2010

I know I am a little behind, but here is our fun labor day weekend. We were able to go to my parents house in Monticello, and go camping for the weekend. We arrived late on thursday night and stayed at my parents house. In the morning we helped around the house, and then went and set up our camp on my parents land. It is about 20 mins. from their house. When we arrived at the land we began to set up our trailor and the campsite. This should have only taken us an hour maybe, but with a few difficulties it took us a few hours. Alan truck got stuck in the sand, we finally got out, and then we were able to set up. My brother finally arrived, and set up his tent, and brought his horses. Then my sister arrived with her family and we were all ready to camp. The next morning my sister and her family showed up and set up their camp. Then we all went and cut down trees for my parents and grandparents for the winter. We cut down five trees, and split 3 of them. It was a lot of work! Then when we got back to camp we played around on the horses and the quads. The next morning was sunday and my parents went to church and my brother and his wife went to church and the rest of us kinda just sat around and talked. It was nice to relax on sunday! On monday morning we woke up and began to take down our stuff, when all of a sudden we notice my brother and my brother-in-law rushing to get a towel. We all gathered around because we didn't know what was happening. Well turns our my brother in law smashed his finger pretty bad and it was just hanging there by a little bit of skin. My sister rushed him to the emergency room. The rest of us continued to clean up and waited for them to get back. When they got back, he had stitches and they were able to save the tip of his finger. That was an exciting morning.

There were many more things that happened! It seemed as though almost everyone got hurt in some way or another :) And my brother was always there when they got hurt....interesting!

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!
