Gaga/Easter/Chris’ B-day/ Summer!!

Lately there has been a lot on my mind but I can’t ever seem to write it down! Lots has happened since I blogged last time but I am so bad at remembering to take pictures that I haven’t wanted to blog.
The Gaga concert came and went and it was probably one of the best concerts I have ever seen and the next time she come to Utah or close to Utah my sister’s and I have already decided we are going to spend more money for good tickets and see her show again! It was such a fun night with my sisters; we went to dinner and then the concert and then stayed at the Hilton hotel that night!

Then came Chris’ birthday and Easter! For the past… 3 years maybe, we have camped with my cousins “Cory and Abe” and my sister “Jill and Dust and Jax” out at five mile pass for Easter. We have such a fun time every year even though the last couple years have been freezing! This year Easter was so late that we were hoping for better weather. We always send the boys out Thursday night and they get everything set up and have “guy time” before us girls and the kids come out on Friday. Friday was Chris’ Birthday he is the big 24 now… he is growing up so fast, ha ha… not really, but anyway when I got out there I gave him his b-day present which he thought was hilarious “again bad at taking a picture and words just can’t describe his present” and then we had oreo cake “his favorite” The weather was so nice on Friday afternoon, we went on four wheeler rides, played horse shoes and just hung out in the sun! Then Chris got a call and he had to go into work on Saturday “LAME” he wasn’t very happy but ended up only working for about 4 hours and then it was back to camping! The Easter bunny came Saturday night and hid eggs and threw candy all over the camp ground! The kids had a blast! Of course my kids loved to find the candy on the ground that everyone else’s kids missed.
playing horse shoes and Tink soakin in the sun on the 4-wheeler!

April is over and I hope it took the snow and crappy weather with it! May is here and there are so many fun things to look forward to! This weekend is Mother’s day and instead of taking the weekend and going shopping in Park City we are going to be money smart and just go hang out at my mom’s house. It is always relaxing and a nice mini-vacation at Mom’s. Then we have a wedding reception the next weekend, then a free weekend “so far” and the next weekend is Memorial Day so we are going camping/boating at Yuba Lake. This will be the kickoff to summer and boating season! I am really hoping the weather is going to be nice for boating! Summer is almost here and that means every weekend is going to be booked! I love it but it goes by way too fast!
I LOVE this picture... I always see pictures of "dads holding their babies while they are fast asleep" well since this is our baby this is my picture... they were both sleeping so hard! Brody was snuggled right up! it was cute!

Compromise

When you are married you often come to points where someone wants to do something or whats something that the other doesn't. Compromise is very important in marraige. You sometimes do things you don't really want to do to make the other person happy and in turn they do the same. you some times watch what they want or take turns picking what you do or where to eat ... But what happens when one really really really wants something and the other doesn't... do you make one deal with what you want or do you compromise what you want to make the other person happy... alot on my mind today about compromising and what is important...

Other things on my mind today is GAGA is on Saturday! I can't wait for this week to be over because it has been 1 LOOOOONG week! Parents are coming up this weekend and also going to hang with sisters! I love being with my sisters more than anything. We always have good talks and the best times! Hopefully they will have some input about my compromising situation...

Disney on Ice!

Today I went to disney on ice with my sister and my nephew! it was so fun and way better then i expected. It was fun to do this and kinda makes me wants kids... maybe someday...

GAGA for GAGA

A short post about what's on my mind today! LADY GAGA!!! The concert is 23 days away and I can't wait! Every year me and my sisters go to a "sister concert" it is the funnest girls night ever! This year when we heard Lady Gaga was coming we knew we HAD to go! SO about 3 months ago we bought tickets and this weekend our t-shirts arrived we booked the hotel so we can a fun time at the concert and be able to go back to a hotel and be loud and keep the party going without bothering husbands or Jax... it is going to be such a fun night and I can't wait! She may be a FREAK but I am sure she is going to put on one hell of a show! ! ! 18 MORE DAYS! ! ! !

Stupid Jazz!

The Jazz played Chicago last night at home and kept us excited and into the game the whole time pretty much.... they were neck in neck the whole game till the last 3 or 4 minutes! Needless to say Chris and I were so exciting thinking they were going to win and show the wanna be Jazz team, Boozer, Korver, Brewer ect... that the Jazz are the best and don't try to be like them. The last 3 or 4 minutes the Jazz decided to be the Jazz and lose! it was awful! I blame the refs! So Chris is kinda emotional when the Jazz lose specially after such a close game and he kinda acts like a 3 year old so when the Jazz lost this is what the couch looked like....




Chris threw the remote so hard it actually imprinted into the couch! Its a game! teams win, teams lose, it is a GAME...I kinda makes me laugh that he throws tantrums like a little kid, but I can't let him see me laugh because that will make him even more mad... after he cooled down though we were able to joke about what a child he is... no need for kids quiet yet... still trying to raise my husband! ha ha ha:)

Mexico!

Our cruise has come and gone and while we had a blast I was ready to be home. The weather was nice but could have been ALOT warmer. We were only able to soak in the sun 1 day the whole trip, the other days we not very warm and they were windy. But anything warmer then 30 or 40 degree and I can't really complaine. Starting the trip we flew out of SLC at 7AM Friday morning. I'm not even up that early on a work day! It was fun to see Cory's face when we loaded the plane and took off... she is 30 something and has never been on an airplane! I wish there were words to discribe the look on her face as the poilot hit the jets and away we went! Once in California we rented and car and headed to Knottsberry's Farm for a fun day of being kids without having kids with us!


after a day at Knott's we headed to the hotel for a good nights rest. Saturday morning we boarded the ship! the weather was about 70 so it was really nice! we boarded and checked out the ship and our rooms and headed out to sea. Once off the coast the sea breeze was a little cold and we had to wear jackets if we were up on deck. The ship I think should have had an age warning "please board if above 50 years old" I swear we were the youngest 4 people on the ship! every where we looked we seen old people! Carnival ships are BY FAR more to our liking. Princess cruises are deffintanly more for the older folk! I'm not sure if my expectations were set too high or what but I was not impressed with Princess, the food was okay, the activites were okay, and the shows again were just okay... There was 1 night I think it was sunday night "i love that i lost track of what day it was" they had a party on the deck and that was alot of fun "with a jacket of course"
Our first stop was in Puerto Vallarta. The ship books excursions and had a zipline activity that looked really fun but it was 100 bucks per person, so Chris being the money smart guy he is, was able to track down a nice mexican guy that was able to score us 2 for 1 tickets to the zipline! it was such a fun experience to fly through the jungle on a line! it was a very fun time and i recommend it to anyone that is going there. The crew that goes with you makes it really fun and paints war paint on your face! we went through the jungle where they filmed PREDATOR.

this was us with our war paint all ready to fly!
then it was off to Matzalan or so we thought... apparently people were getting shot there so they cancled that stop and we headed to Cabo San Lucus a day early!
Cabo was my favorite stop i think! we spent the most time at this place. We were able to hop aboard a double decker booze cruise for the day! it was 4 hours of whale watching, snorkling, a stop at lovers beach, lunch and can you imagine AN OPEN BAR! all this for 30 bucks a person!

then it was off to Ensenada where we seen a blow hole like on the movie fools gold! everytime the tide came in water would shoot out of this rock, it was pretty cool and i will post more pictures later! this post is already getting long. then back to sea for 2 days. and home again! I'm glad to be home and glad to be back at work. I missed my bed and my dogs and my house and my friends! it was a fun trip and I am sure i will be ready soon for another vacation but right now I am happy to be back in the same routine!
