SORRY!!! and My car!

So, I get all caught up in reading other peoples blogs I for get to blog my self…SORRY!!!
Lets see….since my last blog…
We moved to a place in Orem on 400 north. I LOVE it…its so nice to have a place of our own.
Last Saturday we went to Lagoon (again) with my work! It was fun…we brought McKenna. We had a blast riding on the wicked and just playing at the park.

Then last night Elliot went to the store to get me some rice for Hawaiian Haystacks and on his way home a guy ran a red light and hit the back of the PT Cruiser. But it just messed up the back passenger side…sadly it didn’t total it.
We were going to go to WY this weekend but now Elliot says we can’t. I think we still can because the car is still drivable. So today during lunch I'm going to go get a light bulb and some red clear tape and see if I can make the brake light work…then we will still be able to go!! WISH ME LUCK!!!!
Ill let you know how it goes

My Saturday

We had a crazy busy weekend. It started off with getting an apartment (YAY) on Friday. Elliot was SUPER excited about it, so we started moving in Friday also. Then Saturday we went to Lagoon with Mike’s (my step father in-law) work. Then we went to the Michael Kelsey concert! It was a SUPER fun day…but I'm still tired. Then Sunday we unpacked ALL day! Then we went to Mike & Tracie’s for dinner and to my parents because Alec was ordained an elder.

I don’t have much to say…(I have a headache because of some mold at work...) but I have a TON of pictures ENJOY!!!!!!

Elliot, McKenna, and Amelia (and me...im just not in the picture) waiting for the ride (WICKED) to go!

Elliot SCARED on the Sky Ride because it kept stopping. And Amelia and Me having fun killing time till the ride started moving again!

Conner, Me and his friend (I don't remember his name) getting ready and going on the Sky Coaster.
(The Sky Coaster operates by putting the participant in a full body harness (usually referred to as a flight suit), that supports the flyer (from one to three at a time), in a prone position. The harness is then connected to the flight support cables.

From a static point approximately 6 feet above the ground, the flyers are then pulled aloft by a launch cable to nearly the top of the launch tower. At this point the flyers are approximately 143 feet above the ground with the flight cables taut and the flight is ready to begin. Upon being given the signal, the flyers (Connor) pull the rip cord, releasing them from the launch cable, and they begin to rapidly swing towards the ground at speeds reaching up to 80 mph. The overall feeling is similar to that of swooping along the ground in a hang glider, or that of skydiving.

Elliot and Me on the swings! They were a good ride to ride after we ate!

The HUGE limo I saw driving home from Lagoon!!! It looked like a normal SUV when I was behind it but then it changed lanes and OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!

Uncle RB (AMAZING) and Michael Kelsey playing!!! The concert was so much freaken fun!!!!


Michael and RB playing and singing together!! They are GREAT!!!

Tuesday Adventures (with LOTS of pictures)

Yesterday I decided that I wanted to learn how to skateboard. Because I go to the skate park with Elliot all the time and just watch him skate. And after watching him I thought, hey it can’t be that hard right! LoL boy was I wrong!!! I got the going straight down, I'm good at that. But then he asked me to turn! YEAH RIGHT!!! After shooting the stake board in who knows how many directions I fell. It hurt a bit, but it doesn’t hurt at all today so I'm just fine! But after that I decided I like taking pictures better! So here are some of the pictures I took of him!!! ENJOY!!!


After we skated we went home and showered (thank goodness!!!). Then met my parents, Haley and Graden (Alec showed up after us) at PF Changs for my moms birthday dinner! It was fun to have everyone there! Usually one of the husband, or Alec, have to work so we NEVER all get together!!!

Me and Elliot

Alec and Daddy

Haley and Graden

The WHOLE family!!! How fun are we!!!!
Poor Alec is a loner! He needs to go on a mission then come home and marry a girl as beautiful as his sisters and mother so she will fit in with our beautiful family!!! =P

Just an update

I know I have been a slacker when it comes to this. And my only excuse is I don’t have internet at home and I haven’t had a computer at work. So, now I’m sitting at work with absolutely nothing to do, so I decided to eat an apple and update my blog.

Elliot and I have been living in the house he grew up in. because his mom got married a few months before we did and bought a new house. So the one he grew up in was sitting empty so Tracie told us we could live there until it sells for $300 a month plus utilities. Well, she decided she didn’t want to pay two mortgages anymore so informed us our rent was going to go up to $820 a month. Which is not bad at all for a 5 bedroom house. But one we don’t need all that space and two we just didn’t want to pay that much for rent. So we are moving. There are two places we are looking at. One is on 600 north in Orem; it’s a two bedroom 1.5 bath condo. The other place is in Provo, it is a 1 bedroom duplex. Elliot likes this one more because it is $200 cheaper a month. But I'm not sold on it yet. So I guess we will just have to see what happens.

That’s about all that is happening right now. I am totally baby hungry, but I know I have to wait. Elliot tells me at least a year but I really want to be a stay at home mom so it may be a little longer. I also want to go to new England and see all my friends and show Elliot where I use to live and such. And we don’t want to take a baby to do that. So we will just see!!!!!
