CoWAbuNgA!!!

This weekend, I had my 3 older nieces come stay at my house. While they were here, we went to Cowabunga Bay. It was tons of FUN! We bought the 4 hour passes, and that was plenty long. Everyone was tired and ready to go right when our time was up. McKennaLaineeBrecken
This is the huge bucket of water that they drop about every 5 minutes. It drenches anything near it. For those of you who can remember the game, It feels just like you're running around a mouse Trap board. There are large buckets all over, and kids can tip them and soak the people walking below it. It was really fun I think you all should go try it at least once-

For FATHER's Day this year we went to LAGOON to meet Ben's family. We had a BIG lunch, took pictures, then enjoyed the rides. We had a GOOD time even though it RAINED all day, but had to leave EARLY so I could go to WORK. On the 4th of JULY i got put on call and didn't even end up working at ALL! My friend CHAR invited Ben and I to come play games with her and family, and then to go to the Murray FIREWORKS. We had lots of FUN. Thank You Char. I love the 4th of July, it is one of my favorite holidays, right after Christmas (which is coming soon). We also decided to have a Sausage SIZZLE with our friends the FIEFIAS' followed by swimming. However, the guys decided they didn't want to go, so it was just Gina and I in the pool. But we had fun anyways.

What on Earth?

Tonight while we were on a car ride, we saw this. It made me so nervous! They kept circling the draper, sandy and cottonwood heights area. With every circle they got lower and lower until they were maybe 1000 ft from our roof. They may have been l0wer. Everyone was outside wondering what was going on, and getting a little nervous. One man thinks he saw the airforce one symbol on the side. I'm not confinced, but I am wondering what on earth was going on!

Sorry its been too long, we'll do an update sometime soon!

We're Going DOWN UNDER!

We have been talking about going for a while now, but the tickets are paid for and we're going in September! Ben is so excited, I'm pretty sure he was crying. I can't wait to go. I'm excited to see everything, and really excited to meet Ben's friends and family. Last week I went with to the Scrapbooking Expo and found some really cute Luggage. The bows are my favorite part.

6 Random Things-

Rochelle was kind enough to tag me since I've done it to her a couple of times. She told me it was pay back, not because she really wanted to know anything about me:) Well not in that many words.

1- Post the rules on your blog. 2- List 6 random things about yourself. 3- Tag 6 people at the end of your post. 4- Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1- I am currently trying to grow my nails out. My right hand is longer than the left and I'm really thinking of chopping them off. Can't stand it!!

2-As you may have seen my previous blog, I am trying to quit drinking Dr Pepper. Well after I broke that habbit, I switched to something a little stronger- Pepsi- Mmmmm

3-Everytime I see a crouton I think of my nephew Brigham. Whenever I have a salad with croutons on it, he steals them before I can even get one! Lepord skin makes me think of Lainee, Books remind me of McKenna. I find myslef looking for good books for her frequently. Pink and John deer remind me of Brecken, and anything cowboy has Miles' name all over it.

4- I'm so sick of my car. I want a new one real, real bad. Something bigger than a Saturn. Shouldn't be hard to find.

5- I think it is fun to make Ben learn songs to sing with me, like Nick and Jessica's Baby its cold outside. He doesn't love it so much.

6- I should be doing homework. I'll do Anything I can to procrastinate until the VERY last minute.

Now I tag- Annie, Laura, Katrina, Jackie, Jill (mom), and Matea

Happy Birthday!!!

He still had a Hulk shirt until about two weeks ago when I chopped it up for my blanket. :)

Today Ben turned 24! I think he had a good day- We started partying on Thursday. We've had tons of friends and family over. Thursday he went to a Jazz game with Brother-in-law Rickie (it was his Birthday too) Friday we went to a Grizzlie's Hocky game. First time- it was FUUUN. There were many fights, broken sticks, and I think a guy even knocked out his front tooth. Ben's only complaint- the refs stopped the fights. Saturday we had Lunch with his family at Texas Road house. And today we've just stayed home and enjoyed. We went to sacrament with our friends the FieFia's. It is a Tongan ward. We didn't understand much but still felt the spirit as soon as they started singing. It was so Pretty!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!!!
