This is the house!

This is what our house will look like come November! Right now its just a slab of dirt. In a few weeks we get to go to the design center and pick out the flooring, cabinents and countertops and I can't wait.

We decided to take the plunge!

Yes it's true we finally did it! No I am not pregnant, if thats what you are thinking ( do you know me at all) I am talking about the fact that Joshy and I bought our first house. We have been on the search for last few months. We put offers on houses but it just wasn't working out. My mom said we should check out new builds, even though they were a little higher than our price range the payments were still within our range. So we found our beauty in Skyline Ranch, translation-we are moving out to the boonies A.K.A queen creek. Our house will be done in November, Happy Holidays to us! We are really excited and I can't wait till we get to go to the design center and pick everything out. Josh and I are growing up...so maybe pregnancy will actually happen one day too!

Fireworks, Happy 4th

This 4th of July the family went to Lake Arrowhead California. It was so fun to see Devin and Ruthann because I didn't see them all summer. The weather was nice and it was so pretty up there. We went to a parade, street fair and fireworks on the 4th, can't beat that!

No we are not drunk, it just looks like that way

We made puff paint shirts and I wish we would of got a close up because Devin's was really funny. Anyways I am so grateful to live here in America and have a life full of opportunity and freedom. God bless the USA!

Funk's Lingerie shower

Saturday Night was Funk's Lingerie shower and it was a great time hanging with the girls! I remember when I was getting married one of the funnest things for me was having my Lingerie shower, I am still obsessed with lingerie and think it is the best! Anyways congrats Ashley!

Summer Update

Summer has been fabulous! I wish it could last forever (beside the 100 degree wheather that is). I've done a few little vacations and today I am going to sun splash with Lisa--loves it!

Here is the update:



Mom, Dad, Reina and I went up to Utah for a few days to visit with family and friends. Mom and I went to do a session at the gorgeous Salt Lake Temple. After the session Reina and Shanna were meeting up with us to visit all the neat places around temle square...




Unfortuneately we got caught in the rain instead, so we did not get to tour temple square. Rain seems to follow me on all my vacations this summer!

The first week in June the family went to flagstaff to escape the heat and enjoy the cool summer air.

Joshy and I went to Flagstaff the last weekend in may. We were so excited to be in cool wheather and do some hiking and picnicking but it rained while we were there so...

We did manage to get outside when the rain subsided for a bit and it felt good!

We had some fun in our HUGE bathtub, you could swim in this thing!

and we did some chillin inside

We still had a good time just being together

Mom turned 50! This was last month but I am little behind on blogging. So this is the big year for birthdays--mom turned 50, I will turn 25 and Josh will turn 30--yikes! For mom's birthday we had a hawaiin party with the fam. I love you mom and I think you are just as adoreable as ever!

Schools out for Summer!!!!!!

Today is my last day! Hooray I made it through my first year of teaching. It went alot more smoothly than I expected. I heard so many 1st year horror stories, but i really enjoyed my first year. I learned lots and hopefully I will be a better teacher next year. For those of you that don't know AZ cut thousands of teachers for next year. Districts were cutting 1st year and 2nd year teachers. I just have to say that I am so blessed to have a job next year and I feel so gratefull. I really love teaching P.E. and I thank Heavenly Father every day for my job. Now is the fun part of teaching--Summer! Time to sleep in and chill out, its gonna be good!

Mothers Day--What the ...

So Josh was going to take his mom to Disneyland for Mothers day this year. He planned it all out last year and he and his mom were both so excited--she lives in Texas so they only get to see eachother about once a year. She made the long treck from home to visit ( 16 hour drive-Yikes) us on Wednesday. they were planning on taking off on Friday for Disneyland. Well this is where the story gets a little crazy. Thursday Josh ended up leaving work early to go the Dentist and he had to get a root canal and crown. The whole side of his face was swollen ( i tried to get a picture for the bog but he refused it) so he was one pain killers and anti biatics. Then Friday morning his mom woke up with the flu. Needless to say they didn't make it to Disneyland. Instead they laid in bed together dozing off and watching tv. I guess Disneyland wasn't meant to be, but they still had so much fun just being together. thanks for visisting mom and come again soon we love to see you!
