Ethan's Blessing...

We had a great weekend with my family! Ethan's baby blessing was this Sunday, so my family all came up for that! Shellie and Nathan also flew out from Jersey and it was SOO good to see them! We hadn't seen them since August... so it was time! It was a quick trip but we enjoyed every minute with them all...

We Made It....

Supercross was a crazy adventure this year...but we made it! We thought we had everything planned out, but of course things never seem to go that way!

Saturday, Jody flew in from LA to Las Vegas at 6:30 to barely make the event! We we're really excited that everything had worked out in our favor so we could make it this year! Jody's flight was a little late getting in so we weren't able to get to Sam Boyd til 7:30ish. We hadn't missed much but we hurried to park and purchase tickets!!

SOLD OUT BABY!! Really?!? Every year there are millions of scalpers trying to sell there tickets for cheap and we have always had luck in doing so! After walking around for a good 10 minutes trying to find tickets... we found an older black man who was selling the last ticket anywhere to be found!! He wanted $100 for a $25 ticket! Absolutely ridiculous!!!... But of course we paid it! I went through security, as nervous as could be ....went by the smoker gate (which was not where I wanted to go) to slip Jody the same ticket... There's definitely one thing I can't do and that's being sneaky or doing anything shady thing!! My face says it all and I look guilty before I even make the sin... I finally handed it over to him and went over by security to wait.... He went through security the second time with the same ticket...and of course it didn't read and started beeping!!!! He hauled in and caught up to where I was... asked me if anyone was chasing him but luckily he got in safe so we finished the night watching a great Supercross race!! Lesson learned... but had a great time!! SuperCross 2009

Blog Slacking...

I have NO excuse for my blog slacking!! I guess other prioriteis have takin' place but we are really doing GREAT! First of all, the weather is GORGEOUS and we are soaking it all up!! I love spring/summer time!! Everything seems prettier and people seem so much nicer... I don't know why but I LOVE it! :)


Jody started in the Orem Community Softball League where he plays every Monday night so he is loving that.. and I love going with the dogs and watching him!

We are also counting down the days for SUPERCROSS this year!

We are hoping to make it because last year, we missed it and it was a rough day for Jody! Ha.. He was so sad but I was able to get the weekend off and we are hoping he can too!

What a Beautiful Spring Day....

I woke up this morning....and here's my yard!

What a Beautiful Spring Day....

Honestly, is it December or April?!? We really only get 2 seasons here.... Winter or Summer! Take your pick, because that's literally ALL you get!! :)

ALSO...

I know it's THURSDAY but this week is really dragging on! Jody and I had such a great weekend together and being at home made it absolutely perfect! We got back late Sunday and Jody flew out to Phoenix early Monday for work! He REALLY didn't want to go... Usually his business trips last for a day or two, but this one goes clear until Saturday!! Can I really make it until then?!? Ha... I've been making new dinner recipes, cleaning my house spotless (and even a little shopping!!!).... and it's just not going by! We are both counting down the days and it really is almost over but I will be so READY to see him!!!

LUCKILY!!!!! I have some great friends up here, who knew Jody was going out of town and they had a great night planned!! We went to Karaoke Night at Applebee's and had a great girls night crashing at my place! It was fun to hang out with them and catch up on all there doing!! Thanks Crystal and Lisa for the fun night!

HOME...

We finally made it down to Logandale!!!!! YAY!!! We have been trying to get home for a couple months now and it seems to never work out everytime we would get a free weekend!! Luckily, we made it down for the Fair which we were really excited about! We really look forward to it every year so we can see lots of family and great friends who we haven't seen in forever! We went Friday and Saturday and had a great time eating YUMMY Fair Food, and watching the great entertainment they always have!

Saturday, we had a Family Brunch for EASTER with all my brothers!! It was so nice to visit with everyone! Ella was the center of attention and she was loving it!!!! She has so much personality and is so stinkin cute! (Even Jody, who gets terrified of little babies...couldn't resist!!) He asked Ashley if he could hold her, and loved playing with her! It was really cute becasue normally....Jody would NEVER ask and he gets so scared with little ones but he did GREAT with her!

Grant and Ella

ALSO....Jody was in HEAVEN with the GREAT Nevada Weather!! He was so excited to get down there and ride for a couple hours! He was definitley due for a good ride and I'm glad he was able to go enjoy it...

The Month of April...

We are so excited for the month of APRIL!! We are making a huge decision that we have been contemplating for a while, and it will be great to see where it leads us!
It's my BIRTHDAY on the 5th! YAY!!! That's not really the excitement of the month but you gotta love birthdays!
What is so exciting is....that for my birthday, we decided to take our next step in the Fertility Process!!! We both can't wait!! It's so expensive to do anything! Just to talk to our doctor for 30 mins is 175$! BUT...he gave us a great deal on artificial insemination so we thought that would be a great place to put our money for a birthday gift this year! We are trying SO SO HARD to not get our hopes up but just can't help that maybe great things could happen by the end of next month! We have prayed long and hard about procedure's and what we should do from here and we feel strongly that giving artificial insemination a shot, would be a great place to continue!
So.... lots of mixed emotions right now for Jody and I, but we know if we keep trying to do what's right, the Lord will hopefully bless us!!

The only place in this crazy world....

Jody and I have put off going to the temple for WAY to long! We have no kids, nights and weekends are mostly free, and we have one that's maybe 5 minutes away, so there is definitely NO EXCUSE!! It seems like everytime we plan, somehow we never make it, but everytime we go, it is such a GREAT, GREAT experience!! We have had so much to be thankful for and we're glad we have been able to make it monthly like we should! It brings so much joy into our lives and how comforting it is to know there's one place in this crazy world we can go and reflect on everything that's important!
