November already?

I have not blogged in a really long time and it's because I don't have much to blog about. Our lives are pretty boring... school and work is not very exciting. This last weekend we did go to sunny Mesquite for a softball tourney that Austin was in. It was so nice to be in the sun and being able to relax. Unfortunately, I forgot the camera.. sorry! So... what have we been up too? Well first off since this weather is hot one day and cold the next, we took advantage of a hot one and went golfing with our friends.. Austin's new hobby is golfing! He's obsessed with it.Also, a couple of weeks ago we had Heidi's bridal shower at Pepperbellies. It was so much fun and was great seeing all my old friends. Mostly everyone was there and it was like things had never changed.Austin got a new job!! He's had it for a while now and he loves it. He works in St. George which is kind of hard cuz he has to travel every day but at least he likes it and it's a great job. :) I'm so proud of him!And lastly...... Yes, I have my Christmas tree up! YAY! I couldn't wait any longer.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!

LAS VEGAS

This past weekend we went to Vegas for a little vacation. We got tickets to the Utes vs. UNLV game and made a trip out of it. Tricia, Kamie and Kaylen picked us up Friday afternoon and we headed down. We stayed at the Excalibur, walked up and down the strip, shopped, ate way too much, and went to the Utes game. We had great seats at the game and I loved every minute of it. The whole trip was alot of fun, especially having little Kaylen there. He was so excited he didn't even know what to do with himself. He stayed up way to late and woke up way to early.. ha ha! He absolutely loved the water show at the Bellagio (as you can see by his huge grin in all the pictures). I already miss him so much and am sad the trip is over, but I'm so glad we went. We had a blast!

Austin is finally home!

Austin has been home for about a week and half now and it has been great! I'm so glad he is finally home, I missed him so much. Every since he's been home, we've been going non stop. He got here last friday and that same day we headed to Lincoln County for the 100th year celebration. We went to the homecoming football game, got to visit with his grandparents and family, and toured the town of Caliente. I had been to Pioche and Lincoln county a couple time but never to Caliente. They showed me where they used to live and told lots of funny stories about growing up there.

WELCOME TO CALIENTE:The house Austin grew up in:

Suprisingly, we had lots of fun over there and we loved spending time with his family! This last weekend we headed up to Scofield for the weekend. The whole summer Austin just kept saying that when we get home we're going straight to the cabin, so we did! Brandi, Ty, Austin and I headed up Friday night and Lana and Tyson met us there on Saturday. We had a blast. On Saturday morning we went four-wheeling, carved our names in a tree, and got pulled over, ha ha! After Tyson and Lana got there we had lunch and went on a ride in the scout. Yes, all six of us fit in the bright orange scout. Later we played games, had steak dinner, watched a scary movie, and went to bed. The next day we all enjoyed watching Tyler try and outsmart the ducks and geese. ha ha! We lounged all day, ate food and watched football. We had a great weekend and are so happy that Austin is home!

IN THE SCOUT:

Yeah, Austin's "A" struggles, ha ha .. It was suppost to be BAAT, for our names!

BABY SHOWER

Alright, so I know Alyse already posted about this but I wanted to post about it also so here it goes... On Saturday we had a baby shower for Krachelle and Brittani. We had lots of fun, ate too much junk food, laughed until we cried, and almost had a slumber party. ha ha! Its so fun to get together with all our old friends. When we get together it feels like we never left each other, ha. It felt exactly like old times. Thanks girls for a fun night. Oh and I thought I better mention that I get to go visit
my husband in 3 days!! I can't wait, it's been a month since i've seen him!

AUSTIN

Yesterday my sweet husband sent me these flowers that said, "Just thinking about you!" I just wanted to thank him and let him know how much I love and miss him. He means the world to me and I can't wait until he gets home... hopefully not very much longer :)

FISHLAKE

Well first off, I have to tell everyone how excited I am to be home!! It feels great and i've been having so much fun, but at the same time I miss Austin soo much. It's going to be hard being away from him for a while but it'll be worth it. I am so proud of him and all his hard work. Hopefully he won't be gone too much longer cause I really miss him! Anyways, I've been home almost two weeks now. I worked all last week in Cedar City and start school on monday, but I will definatly be coming home for the weekends! This weekend Nate and Hollie went to fishlake so, Tyson, Jerrica and I drove up last night. We made smores, hung out, laughed a little too much, and watched a movie. We had a lot of fun! I've loved being home and spending time with my family. I've gotten to spend lots of days with my cute nephews....

LAST POST OF D.C.

Last week Brandi's mom was here visiting so of course we went touring. No matter how much you tour here, you could never see it all. We took the metro downtown, walked by the white house, visited the Washington Monument, Abe Lincoln memorial, and then walked to see the capitol. We were a little tired but luckily it wasn't a very hot day. The weather was actually perfect. The next day we went to the Holocaust musuem. I'm so glad I got to visit that. It was such a neat place. Those poor people went through so much. After the musuem we went to Arlington Cemetery again and walked around. We had so much fun and I'm so glad I got to visit those neat places.
