Time fly's when you are having FUN!

WOW! My goal of being really good at keeping up on this is not working out to well! I just let time get away from me saying "I can do that tomorrow!" Well I have run out of tomorrows. Not that I am dying or anything. Just that I have decided to do me some Blogging today!! (sorry this is kinda long! Hit the older posts to make sure you get the full update! I know you are very curious!) Hold on tight I am about to take you through the last month or so of my life..
I have become the proud owner of a Bedroom set! I got it from my cousin. After a short trip to Provo, Loading the heavy beast, Having a nice man almost break the trailer and getting back to Logan safely it is mine! It is nice, but I did not like the color of the wood so I have decided to take on the project of painting it BLACK!! I think black furniture is so classy looking and I am a very classy person in case you were wondering! It has been a lot of work so far. nd I only have 2 pieces of the set complete. I have to sand and paint each one. Heather has been helping me from the start! We take each piece out to my VERY deck and sand away! I have decided through this little quest that I really like working with power tools! There is a great feeling of power and control when you plug those tools in!
Here are some sample's of our hard work
Before:





After:
I have finished to tall dresser and LOVE it! I have seriously considered selling or pushing the long dresser off the deck! But the head and foot boards are looking great! I will post the finished project when it is DONE!
We took Katie to her very first Rodeo. We all wore cowgirl hats and everything. We felt pretty awesome! I was so sad the rodeo was nothing to write home about. Not a great first impression of the sport! I have promised to take her again to a good one! And with any luck we will not have the same announcer! "Well that is sure not what he hoped for. And all he is gonna get is what you give him!" We heard this over and over.
Here we are in our "Rodeo Get Up!"
The Crowns just added to the experience!

We took a Mom and Daughter weekend to go see a concert in Wendover! Let me just say this "There is nothing in Wendover!" We saw Collin Raye it was so great and brought back lots of memories of listening to his music growing up! I have a great family we always have fun! It does not take much to keep us entertained!
Heather and I on the ride out there!

We told My mom to ask for a donut with
"Frosting all over it and Sprinkles. BUT not
All over it! Just on part of it!"
This is what we found when we opened the box!

Brian Regan is my Hero! He makes the simplest
things so great!
Us in the car after Ashlee decided
wake up! Beauty sleep is very important!
All of us at the concert!
The Moms with the Drummer!

It is just like old times!! We used to fit much
better in the same bed when we were about 6!

As I mentioned there is not much to look at
on this drive. And with the mom's in charge of
the music selection on the way home. We had to do
something for entertainment!


Stephannie and Alan got Married this May! So this called for lots of "Family Time!" Sometimes I think My family is taking the Church commercials "family isn't it about time" a little to far! We are always doing somethings together! Not that it is bad because I LOVE my family. But sometimes I find myself thinking "We never need to plan a Family Reunion because we just did that last weekend!" The wedding was great! They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple, We had a brunch at Alan's Grandparents house. During the break in between the brunch and the reception we went to Chuck Cheese! It was great to play arcade games at the "Place where a kid can be a Kid!" The reception was wonderful! They had the most amazing punch I have ever had in my life! Ashlee caught the bouquet and there were lots of pictures snapped all around us!
Stephannie wearing the most AMAZING Curlers in
the world!

One last shot of some of the girls before she becomes
an old married lady. We were about to go to bed
so we are looking extra ravishing!

The happy couple!

The couple and Her cousins. Heather is there you
just cant see her face!

Cutting the cake!
The car! Not sure if Hershey syrup is good for
the paint! Glad I had nothing to do with this!

Well you have made it this far keep reading!! I am almost done I promise!

As an apartment we have decided to do a little Sugar Detox!!! We are not eating candy, cookies, ice cream, CHOCOLATE, really anything that is good for the SUMMER! When we tell people this the common response is "WHY?!" and we reply "We are not sure! It is a good idea and will help us to be healthier!" So wish us luck and enjoy all those summer treats for us!! So far so good!
I had planned to meet up with a friend and go to Salt Lake this past weekend! But Jem had some stuff come up and bailed on our little trip! But we decided to go anyway! Launa, Heather and I hit the road on Friday night and headed for Salt lake! We picked up Katie, then we were on our way to do whatever we wanted!
We decided to go get Kina and go to dinner! I just love that girl!!! We went to Buca di Beppo. We sat in the Kitchen at a table the have in there! Our waiter was a little on the Bipolar side! He was so serious at the start of the evening. Then the next minute he was cracking jokes and we were all having a great time! Launa found out that sucking on your straw when your water is gone will get the attention of the waiter! Whether that is what you were trying to do or not! I found out that anything can be used as a pick up line! And Heather has a face that he has see somewhere before! When we asked for the check to be split things went south pretty quick! Heather told him he forgot to charge her for her drink and asked if he wanted to fix it. He said "NO I just want to be done with this!!" He was so up and down that he must have forgotten his meds that morning!
A group picture might have sent him over the edge!

We went to the hotel. We had stayed in the exact room the last time we went on a little adventure! I think we should have gotten a Frequent Sleeper Discount or something!
The nest day we decided to do to Park City and do a little shopping at the outlets! But I think we had way more fun looking at the old part of town! We picked up a couple fliers on some houses that are for sale! I still have them if you are interested! They are very affordable the most expensive was on 2,400,000 and the cheapest we found is only 1,3500,000. I think I will set up a time to see one these!
House shopping in Park City

This house is not for sale! But I just love it so
much! It is so cute and I bet the price is only a little higher
because of all the extra room between the neighbors!

After Park City we met Jon for lunch! He lives near the most colorful houses in Utah I have decided. There is a little strip of houses that look like a bunch a Chicklets! Launa wanted to walk down the sidewalk but I decided the locals might not be the most friendly people in Salt Lake. We had such a great time at luunch which we usually do! We had many laughs and took a trip down memory lane! I just love catching up with old pals! He even did us a favor and eat our Chocolate covered Strawberries for us! See as we can't eat then anymore. What a friend to take that hardship upon himself for our sake!! When we driving back to his house we noticed that road had exploded! There was standing water everywhere!! I was driving Franklin (Launa's car) and the water was so deep I was a little nervous! There were probably 6 different places that water was just rushing out of the road! We dropped him off and he did not even have to swim to his door! But if he lived one black south it may have been a different story!
Why would anyone do this to their house?
Do you suppose the entire street was drunk
one night and thought it was a good idea?

The water all over the road!

Just bubbling up!

More water! Look at the tires on the cop car!
it was crazy!!

Well friends you made it! I have given you the update on my life! I promise the next post will not be so long! I will post again soon!
