Old Times!!

When I was home a couple of weeks ago I decided to go through all my pics because I thought it would be fun to post some. It was fun looking at them, but I also realized that I had a lot of pics that were really stupid. Only about 1/3 of the pics have people in them and would be worth saving.
Here's a good one to start. Nichole's bday, I think the summer we were going into 8th grade.

Love the times at softball. We had so much fun.

Love the school dances.

Freshman on the softball team. This was on our way home from Moab.

This on I wanted to post because I love Dawnelle, but Brianne just added me as a friend on facebook if anyone wants to look her up. She looks exactly the same.

England pics 5-6/2000. This was the funnest trip. I still want to move to London. These were the pics that were the most disappointing. I needed to take a photography class in high school.

Can you see the Eiffel Tower in the middle of us?

Nichole and Sheena enjoyed the Eiffel tower!! It was so romantic!

Nsync at the Delta Center. This was the concert that my mom sat in the dumpster to get us back stage passes.

Cody enjoying the sand on senior trip.

Yummy, cheetos!

Before heading to Disneyland

This one is for Terra. This was at our first Nsync concert at the state fair grounds. That was the concert that started the whole Matt love affair. (Matt is the one in the black adidas shirt on the left. He is pretty cute.) Stay tuned for more pics. I just got tired of scanning them in so I decided to start with these ones.

44 more days until my escape from HELL!!

So my run at the school thing is almost over. I am so excited! Soon I can put the worst 3 years of my life behind me, and maybe actually be happy. You can make the bottom pic bigger to read it, not sure why you can't on the top pic.

Happy Easter & Happy Birthday Mom!

During the Easter Egg Hunt. Hoping the eggs would blend in with her hands. I don't think it worked well.

Kiana searching for her eggs. She had a hard time claiming them when they said Keyona, they were for here, because that is not how you spell her name. Don't you love her riding gear. She looks so good in it.

Our cute little easter bunny with her haul of easter goodies. The bunny spoiled her with 2 big bags of stuff, plus all that she got during the hunt.

This is Kim and Nacho. Kim, TJ, Daviana decided to surprise my mom for her birthday so they drove a dreadful 8 hours to come play in the dirt. It was great seeing them. Thanks for coming up guys, you are all so good to make it everywhere. We love you!

My HOTT baldy on the 4 wheeler. He has been itching, BAD, to ride it. Before easter he would try to ride on every spare moment that he had.

Kiana and Yhostin. We got this 4wheeler for Kiana so she could have fun and ride along with us. She was on it constantly. She did really good. Due to an unfortunate accident, we did not get a pic of her in her riding gear on the wheeler. She would have looked so awesome. Will just have to put the egg hunt pic and this pic together to get the full idea.

Looking good, Kim!

Over the course of the weekend my mom got 5 birthday cakes from different people. We had a ton of cake that we were trying to eat. She said she got a cake for every decade. Happy Birthday Mom!! Hope it was a great birthday. We love you!!!! Thanks for being the best mom ever, would be lost without you.

London fell asleep with his face up against the kennel and it was stretching his lip out. He looked pretty funny. We took him and Britain. They do not get out much, so they are not very socialized, so they are really rude to their fellow dogs. The weekend was kind of a nightmare with them. They spent most of it in their kennels, poor pups.

Taylor did such a good job throwing our dyed easter eggs. We had fun rolling the eggs up and down the hills. We always enjoy the easter camping trip. It was a pretty good weekend, even though it was crappy on Saturday and I ended up sleeping in a tent. We ended up coming home with a sunburn.

She has always dreamed of being the Easter Bunny! So close!!

New Toy

We have been looking at buying a 4wheeler for awhile. Yhostin had his eye on a Yamaha racing quad and here it is. Our new YFZ450. Don't you just love to blow tax money? We got a good deal, so it is worth it.

We were shooting for something Kiana could ride, but I don't think this will be the machine. It has a lot of go, a manual shift and a clutch to deal with, and no reverse. I think she might kill her self on it.

We got Yhostin and Kiana some riding gear. I made him model his gear.

More riding pics to come after easter. Hopefully, we will all be in one piece!

Happy Valentines Day

First of all, Britain wanted to say "Holla" or and don't forget "rub my belly!"

"What are you sticking in my face?? Oh well, I need the attention!"

Here is our Valentines day present to one another. It is a soda machine. It is pretty cool. You fill a bottle up with 1 L of water and screw it onto the black machine, press the fizz button until it farts 3 times to carbonate the water, and then you add flavoring of your choice and gently mix, and vio'la--you have freshly made soda!! Pretty cool, huh?? It is pretty good, but the regular flavors taste a bit like the diet flavors. They market them on lower calories, less sodium which makes them taste a little like diet. Only 36 calories per 8 oz for regular and 0 calories and aspartame free on diet.

We have made Mt Dew imitation, Dr. Pepper imitation, diet cola, diet orange, and diet cran-raspberry. Yum, yum! If you follow this link you can watch their demo on it, it is pretty funny.

So we re-finished our shower last week. It was a nightmare. I hate construction, it is so messy. Here are a couple of before pics.

Yhostin tearing down the wall. It was gross. Gotta love the light green paint!

After: new tile, new tub, new paint. The best part of the whole thing is we repainted the bathroom a beige color, so no more green!!! It looks really good.

So I hate shower caddies so we put in these shelves. It was not exactly what I wanted (wanted them to be in the corner) but it works, and we don't have to deal with the nasty shower caddy.

This post was really painful due to a virus in my computer that really bogs down my computer and makes it as quick as tar. Not very exciting, this is all I have to give.

This is the only pic I have bought from our photographer. I don't want to hang it, but the bigger frames don't have the flap on the back to keep it up so right now it is chillin' against the wall.

This is the awesome clock Nichole and Mike gave us for our wedding. It looks really nice and now we can see the time when we are in the front room.

This pic is blurry, but I am not taking another. This is the bench that goes with our new kitchen table. We put it in the front room for more seating, it is also to big to fit in the tiny dining area.

Our new couches!! Now we actually have room for people to come over and sit down. Thanks to Yhostin's mom and step-dad and all the people who gave us money for our wedding for helping us get some nice new couches!!

I really like having a place for both me and Yhostin to lay when we are watching tv. (They are black leather if you can't tell, they look kinda brown in the pic.)

This is the table that my mom and dad got us for a wedding present. We got enough chairs to seat 5. I decided that we needed enough for 8 so with gift money we bought 3 more chairs. It looks really cute with the bench. We need to buy a bigger house so we can have the table extended out and have all of our chairs around it, then have a dinner party!! : ) ha, ha. By the way, everybody in the house probably hates this table because I am very particular about it. You have to use a place mat, if you spill on the table you are dead (mainly because it has grooves that the food can fall in), all cups have to be on the placemat-not on the table, push in your chair, don't color on the table, etc, etc, etc........... Kiana just loves it!!!

Wedding Pics

Here are a few pic that Yhostin's mom gave me. I scanned them in so they may not look the best.


"Just Mauied"

Cute daddy and daughter

Kiana posing with the fans and umbrellas we put out so that the guests could be comfortable in the warm Maui air.

The aisle, just enough seats for the 12 that were sitting. The other five of us were standing of course.

The cake! Coconut cake with coconut filling, white cake with passion fruit filling, and chocolate with chocolate filling. It honestly did not taste that great, but it looked cute (the most important part)!!

An awesome pic of the palm trees that were right behind us while we were getting married.
