WHAT THE HECK

So I am so excited to be done with school for the semester. I was planning on totally catching up on this blog but wait our laptop crashed the last week of school so all my plan went down the drain. I hope that some how I can update it. Well to catch up we are having a baby boy that is due April 17th. We are very excited and have not picked a name yet. I will try and keep this updated a little bit better.

VACATION

Well I have been a little preoccupied with school lately. I started the bachelor program at weber and I do not have any time for anything. I am glad to start but can't wait to finish next winter. We went on vacation with my family over the weekend to Steamboat Springs Colorado. We stayed in a condo and were able to take the dogs. We had so much fun. The first day we went on a small hike and just enjoyed the day blake and scott arrived that night with the dogs. The second day we went a 8 mile hike we took kita and had a great time. There are the pictures of the view and it was amazing. Then we hungout and watched some football games on saturday. Kudjo was having back troubles so they had to take him to the vet and get pills for him. It was very sad to see him in pain, kita and zoie were very concerned about thier cousin. It was very cute how they would sit outside of the room and make sure that he is okay. Then the last day we went to the hot springs. It was the only day it rained but that was fine. Well this is the time to announce it we are having a baby. We are due in april. So I could not get into the hot springs. I was standing there with shorts on and a sweatshirt also holding an umbrella. It was pretty funny. Well then we came home. I want to say thank you to my family for making the vacation so much fun even though I was feeling the best. THANK YOU!

UPDATE

Well it has been a while. So this is what we have been doing. 4th of july we went to the parade with Blake's family. Jaxson got scared with the loud noises but had fun besides that. THat night we went over to Chantell's and Scott's to have a barbaque, roast marshmallows and watched fireworks. It was so fun to have Blake's family and my family all together.
We watched Jaxson one afternoon and I had these plans to go to wheeler farm or a water park. We chose to go to wheeler farm. Well Jaxson fell asleep in the car on the way over. I tried to wake him up and he was not having it. SO we came back home and he woke up as Blake was carrying him in the house. So he was having fun putting the phone up the each dogs ear and his own ear. We love our nephew!
Then next time I was watching him I took him to my grandpas swimming pool with my mom, she loves him. He had a blast in his little pool. It was fun.

CAN'T KEEP UP!

I can't believe how busy we have been the past few weeks. I can't keep up. We usually do not have anything going but lately we have had a lot. Here are a few things.
Chace my brother got his mission call last week and opened it at my mom's house. He is called to the Salvador, Brazil mission. He gets to go to the MTC in brazil and has to report on Nov 4th. It is a long time but that means we get to spend more time with him. We are very excited for him.



Later that week we went up to Jordanelle and camped with my family. We took the dogs and that was an experience. Kita is so scarred of water she yelps and yelps when we have to give her a bath so we were very suprised when she went in to the lake after sticks that we were tossing in. She wined everytime we walked away from the lake. We loved it!

WASATCH BACK

So my sister called me last tuesday saying one of her team members in the wasatch back had to back out and was wondering if I would want to run in her spot. I have heard about this race from her for the past 3 years and I have always wanted to see how fun it was. Well I said yes and did not know what I was getting into. I don't run but I do go to the gym a few times a week. I told her not to expect to much from me. Well I did a lot better than I thought I would have done. My first run was 3.6 miles and I did it in 8:30 min miles. I was shocked! After the first run we went up to the next spot that we were going to start and took a nap. It was not a very good sleep due to we were in a huge parking lot and other vehicles were going and coming the whole time.

Here is our second run. Pictures did not turn out to well due to it was night and we had reflector vests and head lights on so there was a lot of glare. This run was 3.6 miles and a steady climb. This was my slowest run averaging 10:30 min miles. After I ran I tried to take a nap in the back of the truck. That did not work out to well with everything around me I think I got about an hour.

This was our last run. We had a hotel room that we slept in for about an hour. We showered and that was worth the room. The last run was 4.8 miles which was pretty much flat. I did pretty good on this last run. I averaged 9:30 min miles. By the end it was so hard to move my legs and arms but I did it and that to me is a huge accomplishment. This experience was so fun I am so glad I was able to fill in. Thank you sissy!

MY HUSBAND

I dedicate this blog to my husband. He is so wonderful. It has been 2 years already and he is not sick of me yet. I do have my days of whining and nagging that he puts up with (there are many of these days). He is amazing and will do anything for anyone. He has put so much time onto our house and done an immaculate job with everything. Even the parts that we have redone and redone. I don't know what I would do with out him. He is always thinking of someone else before himself. I can't express how much I love him and appreciate him! I love you honey!

Championship game

Well Chace's team only had to win one game and they would have won state. Instead like the past two years they lost to the same team twice in a row so they lost state. It sucked!!!! The second game Chace hit another homerun that put his team down two and they could never get those two runs. We were dying and could not believe that this has happened three years now. Chace played good and did his job. After the game he was no as upset as I thought he would be. When I asked him why he said that he played a lot better this year than last year. That seemed good enough for me. His mood was good enough that we were able to get pictures (they are at the end of the slide show, if you look close enough my eyes are red from crying). Yes I did cry, after watching him play sports since he was walking I could not believe that a state championship has been so close these last 3 years and he did not get any of them. I felt so bad. It was weird to watch him and to know that this was his last highschool game and maybe his last game ever. I was happy that he played good in his las tfew games. I love him so much and am thankful that he is my brother! Thanks Chace for letting me support you all these years!!!

Baseball

Chace my brother is a senoir at Dixie High. They are playing for the state championship for baseball. This game was to play in the the championship game. It was the bottom of the 7th inning we were losing 6-5 bases were full and there were two outs. Chace got up to bat (we were freaking out because this same situation has happened last year during the championship game and did not turn out good). Chace swung and hit a grandslam! His only grandslam ever. It was so great. We started freaking out jumping and screaming. This was huge they get to play tomorrow in the championship game.

Fun Weekend

My cousin got married this weekend and in between the ceremony and the reception Blake played basketball with some friends. Well this was the result of that game. I was able to talk him into going to instacare so someone could look at it. It is sprained. The dr told him to stay off of it and no sports for 2 weeks. Well lets see Blake was and working on our basement the next day saying it felt fine.


This is saturday the day after it happened.

St. George

It was my birthday last friday and I was able to go see chace play baseball in St. George. I went down with my sister and her husband and we stayed in a hotel where my mom and her 3 sisters were staying. It was so fun! Scott (my sisters husband) and I played jokes on eachother all weekend. I hit him with both of my slippers and later that night he threw a cup of water on me. This went on all weekend. Well we went to Golden spoon after the game on friday and it was delicious, I miss that place! THen his game was at Cedar high on Saturday the cedar coaches kept changing the time 4 to 2 to 12 then back to 2 it was a joke but that was the only thing that I can complain about.

This it my birthday present from Blake. I can't wait to roast some marshmallows!

Chace got hit twice while he was up to bat. Both times he got hit was on his back and here are the welts.

We were at Golden Spoon.

Having Fun

we went to Josie and Kelley's house the other night and laughed so hard at Jaxson. He is so hillarious. He brought out the body pillow and copied me when I layed down and started watching tv. Then since Kelley is in the police academy he always practices his moves on Blake. well that night he wanted to practice his arresting skills. (I secretly told kelley about my april fools joke!) j/k. It was funny to see blake get arrested though.

UFC

So a few weeks ago Matt Hughes and Jeremy Horne (UFC fighters) came to Blake's work. Blake was so excited about Matt Hughes he went and bought a pair of ufc gloves to have them sign the gloves. My brother-in-law loves UFC fighting so my sister came with me to suprise her husband with an autograph. I really don't care for UFC but seeing them and knowing how huge of a fighter Matt is I got the butterflies. It was really fun. Matt is the shorter one and Jeremy is the taller one.

FREE TAN!

So my sister is doing her annual customer appreciation weekend. You can be a new client or an existing one and get to tan for free. She also offers great deals and gives away prizes each day. It is a great salon to go to. It is called City Sun and located at 5512 S. VanWinkle Express Way right next to Gold's Gym. Her hours are Friday 8-8 Saturday 8-7 and Sunday 10-4. This great deal lasts the whole weekend of march 27th to the 29th!

BASEBALL

I went down to St. George last weekend and wtched Chace my brother play in a baseball tournament. He plays for Dixie High. They played murray in the first game and won. Then they played springville and won that game. The next game they played Orem and won. They played Spanish Fork in the championship game and lost. Chace did good and it was fun to take the dogs down and get some vacation time. Even though when I was gone Blake got very very sick and in bed all day on saturday. e is doing a lot better thanks to rest. I am so excited to be able to go to most of games this year.





They had a fun vacation, went to the games and played with other dogs. Kita was very good besides going to the bathroom in my dad's house a few times. Other than that they were great!
