Chris's nephew Davis

Ok folks.... So it just amazes me how smart this kid is. The first day I met him was Easter Sunday when Chris and I first started dating. So we are sitting down at dinner and Chris starts asking Davis what kind of cars everyone drives.... (key thing this little man is only 3 at the time) so Davis answers with all the right answers of what make and model everyone drives. I was in amazement..... so the more and more I get to know this little guy every time I see him I decide to test him.... I start to point out cars and ask him if he knows what car it is, he answers right every time. If he doesn't know what car he just says "I don't know that one, could you tell me" Such a cute, fun, smart kid. So his mom tells us he gets on this different obsessions. Cars are always in the pic and trains, but he adds things like rain gutters, Melanie his mom says as they drive down the road he always points thing out that he is obsessed with, "mom look at the rain gutter" then next satellite dishes same thing always points them out. Right now its traffic lights, and street signs, on the road and he has now memorized everyone in his neighborhoods' house numbers and in our neighborhood as well. He has posted legos all over his house with red, yellow, and green legos for traffic lights and loves to draw house numbers and street signs. This kid is freaking smart its amazing.......... oh how could I forget his obsession with license plates and their registration stickers. Man does he love to tell me about the registration stickers. He just knows everything, he is learning what the numbers mean and what months they stand for. he has down March, June, August, October, and December. He will be 5 on Dec 5 and every time he sees the number 12 on license plates he always says "12 is for December 5Th." he is such a funny kid. Ill let you know his next obsession when it come.

Kings Island & 4th of July

This park was freaking fun had some of the biggest roller coasters. The office had beat their best week as a office and they get incentive money so Drew the manager decide to take us out for a treat a day at Kings Island in Ohio. So fun..... They have a 5 min wooden roller coaster ride and it was called the Beast then the one we are standing in front of is a huge Wooden roller coaster and it is so bumpy it gives you a head ache but it is fun. Then they had a huge coaster called Diamond Back (snake theme) that drops you 215 feet at a 74 degree angle and snakes around 5,282 feet of track and goes 80 miles per hour. It was our favorite ride there we went on it a ton of time. It had a fun water park that no one was at. We had a good fun day together and it was good to not be working.

The 4th of July long over due.... of coarse you know how gay Utah is and every very work over a foot is illegal and so every thing is pretty lame but in Indy they have a fire work shop on every corner that sales everything. So the guys all went in and bought a tone of fireworks and it was one of the best firework shows ever. There is hardly a clear day in Indy ans so of coarse it was raining on the 4th but made it that much better to light fireworks no fires for us....they had Roman candles that you hold on to and it shoots out fireworks so we decide it would be fun to have a Roman candle war and it was me, jess, were the only girls ( go us) then about 8 guys i got hit once on my arm but it usually just bounces off and doesn't burn it just burnt my little arm hairs off. So fun though and then they had huge fireworks that shot up into the sky. It was a super fun 4th

Indy Zoo

So we went to the Indy zoo and it was pretty amazing. Hoogle Zoo is nothing compared to this but its still a fun/good zoo. So we went into the aquarium part and they had this video playing about petting sharks and how to do it. I was so confused why they would have that playing then you walk a little farther and you see this huge group surrounding this pool of water. Well what do you guess where in there sharks.........WHAT.......Crazy you could actually go up and put your hand in and touch these things that could take your hand off (well i don't know if these could bet I bet the would) anyways so i got the guts up to put my hand in and touch one freaking weird if anyone has ever felt a sting ray they feel pretty much the same. It was fun and scary. They had a penguin feeding and a lazy polar bear that didn't want to do anything.

The had a ton of animals there it was so fun. The monkey in the middle of these pic was trying to get out by eating the fence....JK he was just eating something off of the fence. haha silly monkey..... They had baby monkeys that were eating off each other and some that were chasing each other such funny animals to watch

They had a special exhibit with this dragon and a guy to tell you all about it. They have to stay by themselves or they will each other. Babies right after they hatch have to run up trees and live up there till they can defend them selves or the other dragons will eat the babies. they are pretty ugly but neat to learn about

They had this awesome free dolphin show. Alanna and baby James were with us that day and they are so fun. James is a baby everyone would want chill, relaxed, freakin cute, and you just want to squeeze him every time he laughs. Such a fun Zoo

Indy, Home, Cali, Home.......WOW

So.... a lot has happened since my old post & I still have the 4th to blog about. Im super behind. Anyways.... To catch you up to today with out pic We are back in Utah for good till next summer when we leave again for summer sales!!! So it for a while in Indiana they were talking about the extension that was going to happen & where we were going to have to move to. Didn't know when it was going to happen & didn't know where. Finally they picked a place...... Bakersfield, Cali we were all excited & just waiting for the day to come to leave Indy. Well on a Wed. my honey came home at 11 p.m. after working all day & said pack up sweetheart we are leaving for Cali on Friday! I was stoked and couldn't wait to leave. We were going to be out in Cali till the end of Oct. & the boys had a lot of houses to sell. So Thurs. I went to my job out in Indy at the Daycare for the last time, my honey picked me up from work & said "How about we leave tonight?" I said ok lets do it!! went back to apt & got everything packed & ready to go. We hit the road about 7:00 p.m. & had a 22 hr, 1500 miles ahead of us to Utah. We made it back and stayed home for 2 days & then off to Cali we went a 10 hr, 600 miles & we made it to Cali. That Tues.. the boys set off to go sale & came home pretty excited they had found a ton of old APX accounts that they could switch over. So the next day they head off again to go make the big bucks.... Well people either didn't want it anymore, couldn't pass credit, or were just a pain in the rear. What the H-word...... Why cant people just be easy going & see the great deal they could have gotten. Wow sometime people are really dumb. So Chris & I sat down with our manager Drew and decided that it was probably best to just call it a summer & come home & get ready for next year so Sat after Chris went out for his last time for the summer we left Cali (remember we were only there for less then a week) at 3 PM & headed back home to UTAH!!!! We made the 10 hr drive 600 mile trip once again.... So if you add it all up Chris & I spend in 1 week over 42 hr in the car together!! It was fun but boy am I glad to be done! So we are home finally!!!

So a other thing that has happen is Chris & I went in together with Chris's brother & his wife & got ourselves something fun...............a BOAT!!!! Its a '08 Four Winns and its a small one but we got a freaking killer deal. Let's just say Chris's brothers really know how to find those deals!!! So yesterday being our 2nd day home we took her out for a spin & she is running nice she has got a tower on her & seats about 7 or 8. We are planning a Lake Powell trip & boy I cant wait I haven't been there for about 3 years I believe. Man time flies by fast.

To the wives from INDY!!!!!! It was so fun getting to know all of you & I had will cherish all the memories we made. Thanks for everything you ladies are awesome & will always be remembered. I miss you & can't wait to see you next summer!!! Keep in touch.

Patrick & Megon's wedding!!!

SO....June 10th we had the chance to go to Chris's best friends wedding. It was so much fun and so awesome! Pres. Monson sealed them together, what an amazing man he is. He told lots of stories and spoke for a while! He is such a great man..... He married Patrick and Megon and then let their parents congratulate them and then its funny that he ask if Patrick had any mission buddies in the room and of coarse he did he had 3....Chris is one of them and got to go up shake Pres. Monson's hand and congratulate the couple! You probably wondering how did they get so lucky to have the prophet seal them... Patrick's mom is Pres. Monson secretary and was Pres. Hinckleys too. so Patrick is lucky and gets to hang out with Pres. Monson a lot.

Patrick and Megon after tieing the not and taking pic....It rained a little and then got sunny later that day!! it was nice and beautiful! Megon was so pretty and I just loved her dress.... Their colors were apple green, yellow with a little bit of watermelon color. It was very pretty and very well put together! It was a fun day just hanging out with my husband and sitting there wishing we could do our wedding day again!

Megon throwing her flowers, the grooms men, they had all you can eat ice cream bar...YUM YUM.... Chase and his wife Tiffany and baby Jack in her tummy, yummy cake, and their tables and center pieces!! such a fun and memorable day!!

INDY 500 PARADE!!! BOO-YEA

INDY 500 PARADE!!!!
So some of the wives and I had the chance to go to the Indy 500 parade a couple of months ago..... I know super over due but hey at least your getting to see it!! :) Anyways.... So this was probably the coolest parade I have ever seen besides the Disney Parades of coarse nothing beats them! So while my husband was out knocking doors this HOT summer day I was enjoying seeing all the floats, famous people and nice cars. Its amazing how they get this floats all together and the balloons up in the air! I have never seen that before cuz of coarse I have only been to the cute little Utah small town parades nothing big!

So there were some pretty cool famous people in this parade! Mario Lopez I believe A.K.A Slater from Save From the Bell, Meredith and Jane for all you Office fans, the guy from the chick flick win a date with Tad Hamilton, and the old lady don't have the slightest cool who she is but she is pretty funny her caught broke down in front of where we were standing and so these guys started to push it and she started hitting them with her hat say "push you wimps push" and then the family at the end not a clue either! Just was taking pic of all the famous people I saw!! ha ha I was camera happy that day!

All the race car drivers and their families and alot of people that had to do with the race were in all these nice corvettes riding in the parade! It was pretty cool to see all these people! I know nothing about racing and these people were so excited about this one chick cant remember her name but I had asked them who she was cuz all of us were wondering why she was so great and the guy told us in the rudest way like DUH don't you know! I wanted to hit him, but......... I'm nice and didn't!

There was some WWII heroes in the parade and a float to honor our army, navy, air force, and Marines it was probably my favorite one! Its crazy to think that all the WWII veterans are going to be all gone soon cuz these guys were pretty old! How wonderful it is to live in a free country and do what ever we want. I'm so thankful for it!

Okay......... Now when I first started this I told you how bad I was at keeping this thing updated and there has been so much that we have done since my last post. The first thing we did is.... As a office we went to the Louisville Temple. So pretty and small, I have never seen a temple that small before, only 1800 sq ft and just all right there no where to walk and get to. From the changing room right across the hall is the session room so amazing! Of coarse in Utah we have a ton right at our finger tips. It took us 3 hours to get there. In 3 hours in Utah I can get to 8 different Temples. It's so amazing how people take that for granted, the temple is so amazing and its amazing how the people out here in Indy have to plan a day that the can all go cuz its a all day process. One Sunday in RS they were planning a trip and one of the sisters said "I am driving and anyone who wants can ride with me but you should know I am going to do 2 session cuz I think its pointless to drive all that way and only do 1!" I was thinking to myself how amazing it is that I have 2 temples that are 5 min from me and I cant even go and do 1 session and this sister tries to go every other Saturday. WOW.... How amazing some of the members are and how amazing it is to be out here and not have a temple with in 5 min and how much I want to go and I have to plan a all day trip. So I set a goal that Sunday to go at least once a week when I get back home. I told myself not to take it for granted and that I should do as much temple work as possible. I love the temple and have only been back once since my own session. I am so excited to come home to Utah and have 8 different temples to go to and get to pick a different one each time. I'm so grateful to live in Utah and have the temple right there.
