Jarvy has been working so hard to make our yard look more than a desolate wasteland! And here is the result of his hard work in the blistering heat...





I am super excited about it! And anyone who has seen our yard truly understands how much this little addition helps! I'm sure our neighbors sure appreciate it too!

Catchin up...

This post may be a little long...

So I wanted to post an updated pic of the final product of our Master Bathroom. I am so proud of Jarv and his work! I think it turned out really well. And I most definitely can't complain about finally being able to use my new jetted tub! Yay!





Also, a couple weekends ago, Jarvy and I went up to Spanish Fork to the big Rodeo! It was fun because I hadn't been to a rodeo in a while and we got to see our fun, crazy nieces! Haylee is 3 and super crazy and fun! The rodeo was a little nippy so we all wore jackets. I had a hoodie... well Haylee spent a good portion of the rodeo tightening my hood strings so there was just a little hole for my face and giggling... Then cute Mikayla is walking all over the place! I just love them so much and get so excited to see them!


Isn't that the cutest face ever?! Pure Innocence! If you only knew... And I'm not talking about Jarvy...

I also was able to spend a couple days at Girls' Camp this past week. That was a good time. I forget how much I liked Girls' Camp and the stinkiness of not showering! Love it! It was good to go and get to know the girls a little bit better. They all have their own personalities and sweet, individual spirits. I wasn't able to be there the whole time, but I was able to be there for the big devotional which made the whole trip completely worth it. It was really nice and I'm super glad I was able to go the little time I did!

4th of July

This is what our 4th of July consisted of.


I worked all day, then we went to the "big game" to watch Jarv play on the Hurricane team against the LaVerkin team. Hurricane ended up winning the game with Jarv even hitting a homerun in the game! He must be lifting weights... ;) It was fun though; we got to hang out with Code and Cam and her fam while watching the game and fireworks.

Future son

Moke emailed this to me and I love it! I don't have kids yet, but for some reason, I feel like this could be a lot like my future son. It made me laugh really hard so I thought I would share... Thanks Moke!

What we've been doin...

This past little bit, Jarvy and a friend, Stan, have been working on tiling our Master Bathroom and laundry room. Today, it really started coming together. They basically just need to add the grout in the Master Bathroom and add a few tiles to the laundry room. Here's a little peak at the Master Bathroom.



The last little while, I've been botherin Jarv to go to the movie "Up" with me because I heard that it was really a cute, funny movie. I finally convinced him to take me, along with some friends. So not only did we go to the movie, we went to the 3D "Up" movie! They gave us the sweet goggles and everything! It really was a cute movie, but the goggles made it a bazillion times better! And not to mention, we all look freakin babe-licious in them!

Swine Flu Cruise and a wedding!

We got back from our Cruise this last Thursday and we had a blast! Before we got on the cruise boat, we went to 6 Flags. It was pretty fun, but it was not the ideal time to go... We went on a Saturday so there were a bazillion people, plus it was so stinkin hot outside! We waited at least 2 hours for every ride! We were there from open to close and rode about 6 rides... We did ride some fun rides and got some sun, so it was a fun time anyways.

Then we got on the cruise and had a fun time. There were lots of fun activities on the boat like a game show that I got called to participate in... So... I wasn't so great at it... I got last place... Hey, but they still gave me a medal!



We also had a fun time at Catalina. We rented a golf cart and rode around the island and took some pics. We weren't able to go to Ensenada because of the swine flu. We still sailed down there, and saw the coast... We basically spent 2 days at sea; lots of laying out and naps! I love it!





When we got back from the cruise, we went to Sea World which was my favorite! We went on a Thursday so there wasn't that many people and it was the perfect temperature. It was the best day!





Then we got back to Utah and got ready for Cody and Cam's wedding. Unfortunately, I didn't take pics. But I am really excited for them, and Cam is a great addition to the fam! She looked gorgeous the day of the wedding! It was also good to see Kear and Steve and the girls... Anyways, it was a good conclusion to our vacation.

Softball Sluts

This last weekend, Jarvy and I played in an all night coed softball tournament in Washington. It was really fun; we had a really good time, up until the last game. The team we ended up playing the last game was super intense. Ya know, the kind of team that aims their line drives at people... For example, the game before they played us, one of the guys hit a line drive at the other team's pitcher... who was a girl! And it nearly broke her arm!

Anyways, so we are playing this supe intense, crazy team, with Jarv pitching and I playing 1st base. Then one of the guys hit a hard line drive that hit Jarv in the shoulder. Anyone who plays a lot of slow pitch softball and is really good, knows that you can place your hits. So... this guy hit Jarv on purpose basically. Then after a couple other hits, I get a pretty good hit slammed at me; I didn't think much of it until later when I overheard the guys on their team talking, saying that I was playing too close. Then the guy who hit the ball at me made a comment along the lines of "that's why I just hit where I just did..."

Basically, so what I'm getting at, or venting about, is that why do these guys have to be so crazy about old man softball!? I mean, seriously, I love the competition and playing, but there are men that have taken it to a whole new level! It just makes me sick that to make them feel good, they need to slam line drives at people! I just don't understand it... It also scares me to death that they hit Jarv in the shoulder when that is so close to his face! Scary! I just hate it so much! Dang softball sluts, anways! K... that was my vent sesh.

Tree update!

Yeah, it's true, I'm a crappy blogger! I know you've all been dying to know the status of our tree so I've posted an updated picture. Isn't it gettin so big!? I'm super excited about it.

In the last month, Jarv and I have just been workin and going to school. Jarv is almost done for the semester. Jarv has been eating, drinking, sleeping softball... ya know, the usual... We're playing in a coed tournamant on the 9th in St G and we're pretty excited about it. We don't always get to play in the coed tournaments, so it should be fun.

After he gets done with this semester, we'll be goin on our cruise with Moke and Scott. We are so excited about it! We are leaving May 15th and will get back just in time for Cami and Cody's wedding on the 23rd. I'll definitely be posting some pics of that trip.

Our lil tree...

Awhile ago, my fam came down to visit and see our house for the first time, so my dad wanted to bring Jarv and I a house warming gift. He decided to bring us this sweet palm tree lookin thing in a pretty cool pot. On the way down, they drove through a little snow storm. By the time they got to our house, the tree was a little frozen and... dead. I was really ticked about it cuz it was a sweet lookin tree. Jarv cut it from the stump and we've just kinda been keeping it, hoping to either keep the pot or have something else sprout.

Well, the other day, I came home to a little sprout in our pot! I was so stinkin excited! To make it even better, awhile later, another sprout popped up! So we have 2little sprouts that happened to pop up like in the middle of our pot! Needless to say, I most definitely thought that was something to blog about! These are the things that bring joy in my life... haha!

Fun-filled weekend!

This weekend was my weekend off, which is something that I always look forward to, whether we have something planned or not. But this weekend, we planned to go to the Parade of Homes with our friends, Daniel and Annie. I had never been, so I was really excited. We spent like 4 hours and saw 4 homes. These are crazy cool homes! One home that we saw was over 15,000 square feet and consisted of a basketball court, racquet ball court, and climbing wall. It was really amazing to me... I think I could seriously get lost in that house. The stairs alone were kicking my butt walking up and down them! (Which is why, I'm guessing, they have an elevator! Yeah, really!) Sorry that I forgot my camera at home, so I don't have any pics.

Later that afternoon, one of my most favorite people, Brittany Donan, came down to do a "Slumber Party" for me. I was a little nervous about how others would be about it, but it was so super fun! I really loved it! And Britt is so stinkin cute that she was able to make it completely fun and not awkward for anyone. I would highly recommend having her do one for you ladies! It was a fun afternoon with just the girls. The boys were kicked out for the afternoon... but I think they were ok with it because they were able to go shooting and "site-in" their guns.

But it was definitely a good weekend off. Now we just get to finish it off by speaking in church tomorrow! ;)
