Pre 4th Fun

We started the 4th celebrations a day earlier this year. I went out with y parents to American Falls along with some friends. I would have preferred it to be a little warmer but it was still nice to get out in the sun. I just noticed that Abby is in every picture but she is just too cute!!

Look at the cute puppies Abby with her new hair cut and Newsom's dog Daisy

They have matching life jackets SOO CUTE!!

She is such a good girl on the boat

Abby went for a swim with AJ

Abby was so cold when she got out of the water she was shaking so I cuddled her

We tied our boat to Newsom's boat out in the middle of the lake and had a Partay!!!

Bodilys and Wards were out on the lake too so after we got back we got together for a late night roast and fire works. Wards bought this really cool fire pit so we roasted wieners and marshmellows :) After we ate dinner we moved the party to the street and thats when it got crazy. Brooks in helmet and all went out in the middle of the street while Brett and Spencer shot bottle rockets at him. The girls were a little upset and trying to stop this madness but it didn't happen. They probably shot 20 bottle rockets at him until they were down to only one more and hadn't hit him yet. Brooks was bent over and Spencer shot him right in the butt and then it went between his legs. I wish we had it on video it was so freaking funny!! I don't think any parts were harmed in the process :)

I will let the picture speak for itself

The girls sitting in the middle of the street watching the unsafe show the boys were doing for us

Boys and fireworks are a bad combo

SPARKLERS!!

P.S. Panniers we missed you!

New Dog? No just a Hair cut

Abby got a summer cut because she was getting so hot and dirty

Before

After

Believe it or not but it is the same dog!! I still think she looks so cute but there is something about her now that just makes me laugh! I call her my little lamb :)

Mrs. Nature

Thats right that is me Mrs. Nature. No not really I'm definitely not a camper but I did it and I had fun. The neighbors decided to go camping and I only went for the company but in the end I did enjoy myself. Prior to this I didn't know people went camping where there wasn't a bathroom. When they told me there wouldn't be a toilet I about died. Then they broke the news that there wouldn't be running water and I concluded they were all absolutely crazy. After experiencing extreme nature I would have to say its better than going to a campsite that you have to share with other people. We were in the deep woods people!!!

The Real Housewifes of Bengal View

The Bodilys

Cali had to come find me in my tent because I was busy arranging everything just like home. I was still in coping mode haha!

The Panniers

The Wards

The Group

Our tin foil dinners YUMM!

Spencer doing the Mountain Dew Shotgun

It didn't work out so well for Brooks haha! It was funny

The girls are sitting by the fire minding our business when we look behind us and see this. Boys will be boys- especially when your camping

The next morning Brett decided to try Brooks Dirt Bike and loved it. I see $

Even though this picture is blurry I love how happy he looks

The boys cooked and cleaned and we didn't even have to ask them. I don't think that has ever happened. I could possibly get used to this camping thing.

On the way out Brooks decided to cross the river and drive up this rocky hill he is nuts the water was above his door.

Twilighter!!!

The wait is over I finally got to find out what happens next. Eclipse was awesome mostly because I didn't know what would happen and it was killing me, but I think new moon is still my favorite. I really can't wait for the next movie to come out so I guess I will resort to reading the book.

The movie premier was crazy people are nuts. We thought we would outsmart the crowds and go to all three movies so that we could get a good seat. Nope that wasn't the case at all, all that meant was that we had a bad seat for all three movies which ended up being a total of 8 hours. It was long but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be it was fun to watch the first two movies again and to be with friends.

Ashley and I in our twilight wear

Notice our cute necklaces that my mom made and my twilight nails

A little vacay to Venice

For graduation/anniversary Brett surprised me with two nights at Destinations Inn in Idaho Falls. It's taken us a while to find some time to make it but it was well worth the wait. He didn't tell me which room we had until we got here and he picked the perfect room. The room is the coolest thing ever. We want to make a tradition of doing this every year and trying out other rooms. Thanks to self timer we will give you a tour of the room.

The tub looked like a gondola going under a bridge and was surrounded by a pond of water that you had to cross by going over a bridge.

This picture is to show how huge the steam shower was

Our bed was on a bridge above our pond and tub

Brett sitting on our veranda pouring some bubbly

This cute little veranda sat above the pond where we enjoyed ...

this (some complimentary cider and cheesecake)

The view from the bed of our drop down TV

The tub was so cool it was a bubble tub (different then a jet one) and even had changing colored lights

Brett took me shopping despite the lack of money we have I was proud of all the loot we ended up with. I had multiple things that needed to be returned so we did that and then hit some killer sales. My favorite purchase was a pair of jeans from old navy. Forever now I've been trying to loose weight and I feel like I didn't loose any until I wasn't thinking about it anymore. A lot of people have asked me did you loose weight and I kept saying "no my pants are just stretching out", but then I stepped on the scale. I guess I have lost weight and it feels great I went down three pant sizes no more baggy pants for this woman :) This only motivates me to keep going.

After some shopping we went out to dinner at the Sandpiper. I've never been to the one in Idaho Falls but it was so nice we got to sit outside and the weather was perfect. The food was so delicious.

The view at dinner

I have the best husband ever and he spoils me rotten and I love him!!

Time of our lives

The last 5 days have been such a blast. I feel so lucky to be able to spend this time with Brett. Friday we went camping with our friends and it was so much fun (pictures to come). Saturday we went boating with my family and it was beautiful. The sun was out and the water was calm so I jumped at the opportunity to wake board. We are now enjoying some relaxing time at the Destinations Inn in Idaho Falls and then tomorrow night I'm going to eclipse!!!! I wish every week could be this exciting.

Do they come cuter?

AJ doin his tricks!

I'm still working on my tricks for now this is all I've got

They are just so stinkin cute

Abby was so well behaved on the boat she just laid down anywhere she could to catch some sleep

AJ and Brett got pulled around on the tube forever so while they were doing this ....

everyone on the boat was sleeping. Zoey my parents dog asleep next to me, my mom was sleeping and Abby is asleep on the floor

It was so nice to get out on the boat and soak up some sun hopefully we will be able to do that a few more times this year.
