23rd Birthday Party!!

Ok so for my 23rd Birthday we went to Joe Bandito's. It's a little Mexican food place that my parents discovered that is AWESOME!! I was glad we made it there in one piece seeing how the weather chose MY birthday to have a flippin' blizzard! Oh well, It was good food and Great company! Here are a couple of pics to sum up the night!

My Dad(with the cute little smug grin) Sam, and my mom!

Greg and I

Mom and Sam!

Look how happy Greg is when I am being publically shamed!! The nerve...

Not happy about it but oh well, if you can't beat 'um join 'um!

Look at his face!!! ohhh I can't wait for his birthday!! Payback is my favorite game!!

There needs not be a caption here, I think it's plain the message I am trying to convey!

I finally pulled a chesser so they would leave me alone!

I passed the hat onto Sam, it can be his burden now!

This was my yummy cake that Mom and Dad brought. It did say "Laura" but I got to excited and cut into it!!

The Whole Party!!

I LOVE this picture of my mom and I!!

All in all it was a Great night! I scored some awesome gifts and had a wonderful time laughing it up with my family!! Thanks!

Christmas Morning 09!!

Alright so Christmas morning was kinda slow. We were both pretty tired. In my tired stupor I did manage to snap a pic or two. Enjoy!

Christmas is HERE!!!!

WOW I can't believe that this year is almost to a close. This has really been a year of ups and downs but I am hoping to end the year on a good note. This Sunday Greg and I went up the canyon and had some pics taken for our christmas card. Devin took them although he almost froze to death. It was bitterly cold up there! Anyways here are some of the pics we took!

OK on a side note... I wanted to do this for our Christmas card and put "Peace on Earth" next to it but I was worried that no one would get it and think we are fanatics. Which I am not. I can't really speak for Greg though....

Devin The Frozen Photographer!

Greg being Special, need I say more!

And Moi!

Harry Potter and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies...

So... Devin came down to chill. We rented Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for the Wii. We started around 9pm Thursday night. IT WAS SO ADDICTING!! We could not stop. I suck at Potions, Devin Kicks butt and at Dueling I am the Grand Master! Holy Crap, this game is the shiz! It is now 5 am Friday Morning and we have beat the game. It took some doing and I won't have any feeling in my right arm for about a week but it was SO worth it!! I would highly recommend this game!! It's the best! In the middle of it all we took a small break and made some kick-asth (with a lisp) Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They kept us going that is for sure! Now I am still buzzed from winning I don't know if I will sleep. And to think I have to run errands tomorrow , well I guess that is actually later today... Hopefully I don't run anyone over. If I did I probably wouldn't notice....  NOTE to the world: This is the first game I have beaten! BOO YAH!!!

Halloween 09!!

Hallween 2009 was a blast. Greg had to leave for a deer hunt so I decided to have Devin come down and keep me company. We wanted to play some games and make a fun dinner so Devin brought Scene It and his Wii down. For dinner we made our favorite dish form The Old Spagetti Factory, Browned Butter and Myzithra Cheese with a Rich Meat Sauce. It was so Yummy!! My mom stopped by to say hello and chill for minute so the evening was complete!

Devin Channeling his inner Spagetti Walrus...

Grating the yummy, yummy cheese!!

The Finished Product! It tasted SO good!

My Momma and Me!

Playing the Wii.. He says he was kicking my butt but I believe otherwise!

Finally a cute pic to sum up the night!

Fall...

I just love fall. It is such a beautiful season. I love all the wonderful colors, and even better I love all the food that comes along with the weather getting colder. I love the warm snuggly jackets you get to wear. I love it being so cold in the morning and getting to snuggle with greg so I can stay warm. I guess with this being the season to be thankful it has just brought alot of those thoughts front and center. I know I am rambling but I just wanted to share what I love about this time of year. All we need now is a little snow. That would be great!

Yard work and so much more!

Ok so I finally got my camera charged and I turned into a picture snapping fool! Today we cleaned up around the yard and stuff and while we were doing that I snapped some fun pics of the dogs, the decorations and Greg. Enjoy!!!

For my Ava...

Today Sept. 30th was supposed to be a happy day. One with joy beyond comprehension. But for some reason that I guess I will never know I was not allowed to meet my angel today. She left and went back to heaven March 12, 2009. That was 6 months 2weeks and 4 days ago. Everyday without her has been like having my heart ripped out over and over and over again. I don't want to feel this pain anymore I just want to hold my little angel in my arms and kiss all over her sweet baby face. At this time I thought my anger towards what had happened would lessen but the opposite seems more true. I have grown angrier day by day at not only myself and my poor spouse but at everything around me. Nothing holds the joy that it once did. I wanted so badly to be pregnant before this day arrived. I said numerous prayers, followed TTC guildlines to a T, hit the right days watched what I ate,drank. and nothing, nothing at all. I feel so empty, lonely, and sad most of the time. I try my best to keep it to myself but I just miss my little one so much it hurts, Sorry to be so down but it's hell being positive when all you wanna do is cry. So today little one which I have named Ava, I know it was to early to know for sure but I just "felt" that you were my Ava. I love you more than anything in this world. My heart is yours, I miss you and don't know why we were asked to seperate but you can bet on one thing, when I get to heaven you will never leave my side again. I am sorry if you have to see mommy cry but it is just because I miss you so much! No one has ever been more loved than you my sweet, darling, Ava. I love you.

Yesterday was WOW....just WOW!

OK so greg and I decided to be crazy and go 4 wheeling together on Sat. we haven't done anything FUN just the two of us in awhile so i was really looking forward to it. So we went down to Gooseberry and went riding. They have some really awesome little ponds all over the place that are totally hidden and then WAM there they are! SO pretty.So after that we went and loaded up and decided to go to the pavant. We drove to there and got unloaded and boy was it dusty!! WOW, it was bad. ANYWAYS, so we head up the mountain , me clinging to the back with all my might because greg is going a hundred miles an hour and I am terrified I am going to fly off. We ended up hauling up there a cooler, chairs, and his backpack so there wasn't much room left for my butt! So we go up there and we are going down different trails then he was like oh lets go down this one trail and I was like once you've seen one you've seen them all but what the heck why not! So we go down this long trail that breaks out into a large clearing with a small pond at the other end. Greg was kinda bummed and I was like whats up dear and he said oh last time I was hear there was a large herd of horses and I was hoping that they were hear so I could show you. I was touched that he would think about that and I was like Its all good so we decided to pull up underneath some big pine trees in the shade and pull out our chairs and chill on the side of the clearing for a bit. So we set everthing up and about ten minutes after that I heard a weird noise and I looked around and here comes a small herd of horses galloping into the clearing. OH they were so beautiful! It was awesome to watch. They went to the pond and started playing around in it. It was so funny to hear the splashing around! Then when they were done they walked out and stopped to graze for a minute and the babies took the time to roll in the dirt, and when one did it all the babies had to give it a try. There were 3 babies total. So they finished up and walked out of the clearing. It was so amazing to witness that! So we sat and talked about it for a little while and about 20 minutes later 2 more come down into the clearing and go for water. I made up my mind that I wanted to touch one, because I just had to! :) So after they got done drinking they came out and grazed for a minute. I got up and walked down there and went really slowly up to one and held my hand out and he came to me and let me pet him. So I sat there and talked to him and scratched and rubbed him all over till I was filthy. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! Oh my gosh it was the best thing in the whole world. I tried to pet the other one but he wouldn't have any part of it. I was so greatful to be able to pet the other one that I left and went back to my chair. I didn't want to spook them and ruin what had just happened. It was so cool I just wanted to share what had happened! All in all it was a great day!

WOW it's been awhile!

It has been FOREVER since I updated this poor thing. Lets see, since updating last Fin and Gus have died. Bob is still holding on though. Greg has had kidney stones for a little over a month now. Those have been fun. Um... lets see not much else. Oh, I Greg and I went to the Nickelback concert which was AWESOME!! I didn't have much of a voice for a couple of days and Greg really enjoyed himself so it was fun. Other than that no to much else I will update later when I have something good to right about!

Well we have a couple of new addditions to the family!!

Greg and I have become the proud owners of Gus the Betta, Bob the Frog and Fin the Flame Tetra! They are way cute and I have entirely to much fun with them!

These are just general pics because my camera is MIA right now but I tried to find ones that looked the closest to what the are!

Family Vaca

Well Greg and I just got back from a week long Camping trip with his family. We played enough rounds of cards to last a lifetime and I learned to shuffle finally!! I took my camera but do you think I took one picture? Of course not! Anyways we are home now and glad of it although when i got home i was greeted with an unholy smell coming from the kitchen. That was pleasant. Anyhoo things are good and I can't wait to go home! 15 more minutes and I am outta here! Work that is...

Ok Ok !

For all of you wondering I will be posting pics of the trailer hopefully tonight. It all depends on greg! When I was uploading the other pics he was getting crabby because it was taking so long. If I go back near the computer again tonight he just might have my head! i will see if I can press my luck! :)

And Here They Are!! Be kind I was half asleep when I took most of these!

This was in the truck before we took off on our trip! I am still working on taking the pic myself...
We were so excited!! Can't you tell from the look on Gregs face? He gets more animated later...

We were in the middle of driving down there when I asked him to smile so I could take a pic, this is what he gives me! :)

We stopped here to wash the truck because Greg apparently cannot drive down the road unless the truck is clean!

We had some of the most beautiful skies to look at on the way down there. The next few pics are of the cool clouds and a rainbow that we were blessed with!

Here we are the next day waiting in line to get on the beach! Idn't he cute?!?!?!

This is my "Holy crap we made it to the beach and I have only had 2 hours sleep but I am still excited" face! Look pretty good don't I? Jk the shades hide my baggy eyes!

The next few pics are just of the beach and waves and stuff!

Does anyone else notice the big black boob catcher? Jeez... I woulda thought greg would have said something!

I can't deceide which one I like better the sepia or the gray?

Greg had to make this thingy for the trailer so I sat there while he did it. He looks so proud!

I got bored fast...

Going home through California we could only go 55. This was the scenery we had to look at the whole way through the state!

We were almost to Mesquite and we were so tired!! My head kept bobbing up and down because I just couldn't keep my eyes open ! So I told Greg to make a tired face!

I had to do something to keep my eyes open!!

This is the next morning! The last day!!!We look so excited!

On the way home we blew a tire due to debris on the road, but thanks to my man we were back on the road in no time!!
