Spring Break

WARNING! LONG POST!

Ok, where to even start! So this last week has been spring break for Brad and I with school and work, and let me tell you how relaxing it was! Brad left the beginning of spring break for SJ to hunt and work on the ranch while I stayed here and SHOPPED of course! Also received my first real professional massage. :) Brad came home in the middle of the week and I surprised him with a new shirt and some socks that you see here! (except not the socks!) I missed him!!

Brads addictions... Chips with cheese dip and TV...

Look how zoned he is...

We are trying to venture out and do more fun things together other then dinner and a movie all the time. We went and played goofy golf and had so much fun! We are both very competitive and had a serious but fun game. And yes...I kicked his butt! Yup..I WON!!

(Sorry this pic is blurry)

He was so upset... hahahahaha maybe you'll beat me next time babe!

This is kinda hard to see, but that's are score card! Luckily I got a picture of it before he ripped it up!

Then, Friday, we went on a picnic for lunch! Thanx to Ned's and a few treats I picked up, we had a fun relaxing lunch. The plan was to eat and then play catch, volleyball, or Frisbee, then hit up the batting cadges...but Arizona is freaking hot and we decided to save that for a cooler time in the morning! haha

Look at your own risk!

Trying to get his tan while he ate...

He apparently has very sensitive eyes and had a really hard time taking a fun picture looking up! haha We really tried this pictured like 20 times! LOL his eyes kept burning and watering...it was so funny!

I got a new job about a month ago at a different pediatric dental office just cause it was more money and more hours! And it was well worth the change. I love my new office. I work with Kristen now and we stay busy but know how to have fun. Dr. Welch has season tickets to the suns game and was so kind as to give them to us!

GO SUNS!

We bought our boys a present at the game! Cute huh! Brad loved the camo!!

Spring break is over... Sad day...

The final product...

Brad was so kind as to buy me flowers for my new flower pot! Isn't he the best?! ;) I wasn't so sure about my pot when I got it back, but I think it's ok once the flowers are in it! Now hopfully I'll continue to get flowers so I have a reason to use it!

I posted!!

Ok, so I'm a horriable blogger now!! But this is what has been going on this last week! My friend Erica is getting married on Saturday and we threw her a bridal shower! (well allison mostly did...Thanx girl!!) I made the cake of course! What do you think?

The gang

And this weekend me, Kristen, and Brandis went to As You Wish and painted pottery! It was actually super fun! If you're anything like my sister you will think it's gay to do that on a saturday night...but seriously, nothing was going on, and we were sick of doing the same ol stupic stuff! haha I made a big vase for the flowers I don't get. Kristen made a plate for her house someday, and Brandis also made a vase for David...haha This is what they look like before they get fired! I'm so excited to see what mine will look like! I did black and red!

Camo cake

This was another Overson cake! haha Brett is Brad's cousin and this was his birthday cake! He is all about everything camo and literally goes hunting every other weekend. :) Happy birthday Brett! I'm so glad you loved it!

P.S. I'm putting blond in my hair this week!

Suns game/baby shower cake!

For Christmas, I got Brad Suns tickets! He absolutely loved it! We sat really close too! The game was on the 9th and we played the Dallas Mavericks! WE KILLED THEM! Whoop whoop! Before the game we ate at a restaurant called Cooperstown. Delicious! I would have posted sooner, but I just barley got pictures from it! :) But we had such a fun night!

We got there really early! But we sat in row 24 from the bottom!

(not the best pic)

Dang he's big! and I promise my belly isn't that big! Its the jersey I swear!!!

Ok, this cake, I made this weekend. It was for Brad's sister in law D'Coda. Her baby is due next month and her shower was on Saturday. I went up to SJ's to do it and I was sooooo nervous, but it actually turned out super cute! And chocolate fondant is delicious!! Its made from real chocolate!!! yummm! And yes those are antlers....You can't do a redneck cake without having some kind of design that shows it! haha

HE'S BAAAAAAAACK!!!!!

Ok, so I know it's been FOREVER since I last posted, but life was just CRAZY! Brad is freaking home! I still can't believe it! The day he came home was so weird! Everything felt like a dream. It didn't hit me that he was really coming home until the night before, and it was like all of a sudden! So weird! I wanted to put the video of him at the airport but I couldn't get it to upload to my blog. (so mad!) But here we are at the airport waiting for him to walk off the plane! Dana (his mom) and I were freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Him walking out of security!

His mom ran to hug him! She's so tiny that he carried her as he was hugging her!

I was ready to throw up, waiting for him to shake my hand, and HE HUGGED ME! Some of you may consider that bad, but I could care less what you think!

Kristen loves me for putting this one up! But here we are crying! I was doing just fine till she walked up to me balling! Then I lost it! She was there taking pictures for us! Thanx girl! You're the best!!!

This is us in St. Johns! In his truck that he would die if anything happend to it! :)




I went up to SJ on Christmas after celebrating with my family and the day after Christmas, IT SNOWED SO MUCH! Thank goodness I went up when I did. It was freezing there! 2 degrees at night!! Brrrrr!!!

Brad and his dad made us a home made sled! It was so much fun. Freaking cold, but fun! This is Brandis and I ready to go!

My worker man! Him and his dad spent all day chopping that wood and bringing it back for the fire! That's a lot of wood....

Christmas break was a lot of fun. Thanx to the Overson's for letting me stay with them all week and putting up with me! You guys are the best and I love you guys! Thanx for all you did for me! I wish I could post videos of boxing on the wii but my dumb computer won't let me! Hope you forgive me! ;)

We all drove home on New Years Eve so we could spend it in Mesa. Brandis drove home with me and we jammed out the whole way home and screamed karaoke! Oh how I love her!

SJ's has these Fina Burritos that are absolutely amazing! I literally crave them! Weird I know... But you just can't go there without getting 1. I mean 2! or 3...or 4... :) Don't judge me! I was on vacation! haha I hit up the gym first thing after break! :)
Yes we got them for our ride home!

The End!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 21 BABY!

Yesterday was my 21 Birthday. And due to an illness and antibiotics that only made me worse....I was grateful that I celebrated with my friends on Friday!! We all went out to BJ's restaurant for dinner and then back to my house for cake and wii. Thank you to everyone that came!! It was a blast!! It sure will be a birthday to remember!!Thanx to...Kristen, Missy, Kassi, Cody, Brad, Kent, Lexee & Brad, Mallory & Justin, Allie & Josh, Kylie & Brett, Erica & Albert, Caitlin & Robin, Stacey & Dallin, Clint & Jodi, and Wendi & Matt!! (Yes more than half of them were married! haha I wasn't kidding when I said ALL my friends are married!!)
This picture did not get everyone in! And I love how Kristen is peeking her head up as far as she can!! :)

And how could I have a birthday get together with out making myself a cake??? Some of you may think I'm a loser, but hey, I need all the practice I can get if I want to make a business out of this!!


I'M LEGAL!! WHO WANTS TO BUY ME MY FIRST SHOT??

Thanksgiving

So I know it's a week late, but this was my Thanksgiving! Only a small portion of my family this year. Some of my family was being lame, and others had a good excuse! But we had so much fun cooking, baking, laughing, chit chatting, watching the rain, and looking through ALL of the ads for our freaking early shopping on Black Friday haha. I love my family soooooo much! They are so fun and I wish we got together more often!

Just wanted to do a shout out to my sister! She is the best sister anyone could ask for! (sometimes! jk!!!!) We got pretty close these last few years (since we are 10 years apart!) and always seem to call eachother when we are bored! We have gone through a lot as a family, especially this last year, and I'm so glad I have my sister. I don't know what I would do with out her! I love you sis!!!!! (people say we look a like, but i can never see it!)

And of course I can't forget about Brad! He is doing so good on his mission and is loving every last second of it! His mission president told his mom that he's been such an awesome missionary and is always doing his best. His testimony is so strong, I know he'll be able to convert his family! I can't wait to see him next week!! AHHHH!!

RETURN WITH HONOR

Another girls DAY!

Friday started off with TWILIGHT! I personally loved it! But then again I only read half of the first book. But I want to start on the second one! :) I went with Brandis (Brad's little sister) it was a blast! I love that girl! She is so fun to be around!

Then, Friday night, was a girls night reunion. Erica, Mallory, Allison, Me, and Kylie, all went out to eat at Red Robin. We caught up on just about everything! haha Everyone of them are married or engaged. Not gonna lie....kinda depressing listening to all their stories! haha just kidding! It was really fun! I just had to keep reminding myself how many more days til Brad gets home! :) :)

We then went to Pizza Mart for old time sakes and got their 50 cent ice cream cones which are SO GOOD. yummm :) We went there probably at LEAST twice a week in high school for lunch or for the weekend! Gotta love Pizza Mart! Mallory was a poop and HAD to go see Justin so thats why she isn't in this picture! hehe I love you Mal!!

And these are just some pictures that Kristen took of me for her photography class! She's good isn't she!! Thanx Kristen!!! Can't wait to send them to Brad!! :)

PS. LOOK HOW MANY DAYS IT IS TILL BRAD GETS HOME!!!! AHHHH!!!

Who loves Sleeping Beauty??

So this weekend I watched all of my sister's kids for her while she traveled off to Mexico to be alone with her husband. She does it every year, and every year I'm the lucky one that gets to watch them! haha But I really do enjoy watching them. Anyway, my niece Blayke, all she wants to do is watch princess movies and Sleeping Beauty is her favorite! When I was her age that is all I wanted to watch too! My brothers would get so sick of it, that they would tell me that my mom wanted me and while I was gone, they would fast forward it.....awesome huh? haha So Blayke and I watched it a million times this weekend but occasionally threw in Little Mermaid or Cinderella. She is so cute and soooo sweet! You would think she was my kid though for wanting to watch it over and over! haha Oh and Tyke is the most adorable, chubby, sweetest baby anyone could ask for! I really hope mine are as good as him someday! (yeah right with my luck) Hope your trip was relaxing enough to last you another year sister!!
