From our blog to Yours

I guess work lifted the ban on blogspot so now I can post a little something from here when there is down time. Since it is Friday it is time for "From our blog to Yours" I like this weeks prompt: I want everyone to blog about their dream vacation spot. Where would you go if money were no object and there was a neverending supply of gas?"

I have always wanted to go to Hawaii. Ben doesn't quite have that same dream as me. He thinks that it is all beaches and he would rather go to the mountians over the beach anyday, but sometimes I should get my way, he seems to get his way more often that not. Yes, I know there are plenty of mountians there that he could enjoy it is just hard for him to get past that. I would really love to go there and see some clear blue oceans and not be worried that something might get me since I can't see them when we go to the beaches in Cali. One day I will get there, with or with out him :)

Type at you all later.

What's Up

I am really trying to do this whole blog thing better, I guess I really shouldn't complain since it isn't Saturday night when I am posting this. So, what have we been up too? Some fun.
Memorial Day weekend was of course the highlight of the week. Friday we went down to LA and spent the whole weekend with Caleb, Heather, Jackson, Eden, Jonah, Jennifer and Micah. We really did have a good time. Friday night on our way down we stopped in Tulare at the oulets and I went shopping at Van Huessen for their 40% off Memorial Day Sale, I found three shirts and a skirt, I was pumped. We got to LA at about 8 and stayed with Micah and Jennifer.
Saturday we went to Manhattan Beach where Ben was wanting to go to a REI garage sale and when we got there it ended up being cancelled, but it was okay, we still did some sale shopping and then went to the beach for about a half hour. It was cold and windy so we didn't want to stay too long, but of course I did get some pictures.

I love Ben


The Beach


Later we met up with Caleb and Heather and had dinner with them, without kids. The best part was dessert. We went to a homemade ice cream shoppe and I had chocolate caramel ice cream, I was in heaven. Caramel is definitally my weakness or lemon desserts.
When we were out with Micah and Jennifer we stopped by Fry's and got Mario Kart for the Wii. It is very fun and we all had a blast playing it, even if I did suck. We played alot of Wii throughout the weekend. Micah is now a pro Boxer on Wii sports. He played that game quite a bit, and I think that Wii just found a new buyer for the game console, they had been debating it, but with us bringing it down they were pretty much sold.
Sunday we had a great dinner made by Caleb and Heather. Eden was in rare form, I think I got about 100 pics of her, she kept on telling me to take her picture, and if you know her you know she hates to smile for the camera so I wasn't going to stop. Here are a couple of my Faves.



Jonah was of course as cute as usual.


With Mom having a Rootbeer Float made by Dad. He is their only kid that loves sweets the other two will have a couple spoonfuls and then they are done.


When we were saying goodbyes.


Monday we spent most of the morning at Caleb and Heather's hanging out and watching Ben and Caleb work a little on their house for some prep work to the addition. It was really nice to be with family and not to have too many plans. I worked the next couple of days and off today. And now for all the inquiring minds that want to know, we are not pregnant. We are (I am) trying to be patient.

From Our Blog 2 Yours

It's Friday so here it is: My blog challenge is to find kits in the shoppe with either red, white and blue (does not have to be all in the same kit) or with Stars!

Here is what I found:
Here’ red white and blue:
My Blue Valentine


And here’s the Stars:
I love this Christmas kit by Dani
Hang a Shining Star

I just noticed it has red white and blue too.

Catching up

Why does it take me all week to post? I don't know, life happens. Anyways... Beth "Tagged" me so I guess I'll do this thing.

1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

We shall see where I get.

1. I have never watched American Idol. I know enough about it from others to know that David Cook won this year and the David A. was a member of the LDS church.

2. Along the same lines as 1, we do not have television reception of any sort. No cable no basic channels, everything I hear about comes from work when the news is on or from others telling me, "Did you hear about this...?"

3. Books are dangerous for me. If it half way keeps my attentionI will not be of any use to anyone else until I am finished. It was pretty bad when I was going through Harry Potter. I like Nicholas Sparks' books, they are romantic and very easy to read in a short amount of time. This week though I found this series called Twilight. I have heard quite a bit about it but never stopped to read it until Tuesday. Let's just say if I had kids they would be running around like naked little Indians until I finished. I don't have the other two books but I am hesitant to get them because I will be enveloped in the book greatly, I know that I will read them, not sure when. This was also why I didn't blog on Tuesday.


4. I hate cleaning floors. Vacuumming, sweeping, mopping whatever it is I hate to do it. I did have to vacuumm today though, it sucked (HAHA)

5. I like to finish things before I start something new.

6. We went and saw Narnia this weekend and really liked it. It was nice not having to worry about any sexual scenes that would appear, since there were none.

7. I think I only have a couple of Easter 2007 LO's left. You thought that it would never end.



The People I tag are at the side of my blog.

Becca
Erin
Amy
I don't know who else to tag that reads my blog.

Erin I know that you have been busy this week with Braxton, but I would still love to see a piture. I hope that everything is going well with him.

I am four point shy of reaching the 25 point needed for 40% off at The Sweet Shoppe. Woo Hoo, I get to go shopping soon.

This was pretty much our week too in a nut shell. Hope that everyone is doing well. Type at you all later.
