WAY TOO LONG!!

Since I have not updated anything since January I figured it was time to get on here and update our blog! Phil and I have not been doing to much recently except saving money to buy a house. We have been having a tough time finding somethig that we both like, but we feel like we are getting close! Tobey and Max are getting along alot better, and Tobey is huge! Work is going great for the both of us, although its still scary in this economy! I am hoping to make another trip out to Utah in about two months to see everyone! Hopefully Phil can come with me! Here are a couple of pictures of things we have done the last couple months I have been a slacking blogger!


Phil brought me to Disneyland one day and California andventure the next day for my Birthday, I never got a Turkey Leg before and I really wanted one! I was soo excited!


Another pick at Disneyland! Phil hates taking pictures!! LOL


We Have been going camping and riding alot! This is a pic of some of our friends toys. We had so much fun!

HORSEBACK RiDiNG!!

For Phils moms birthday, the whole family went horsback riding. I was really excited at first. When we actually got there and I was getting ready to get on the horse, I instantly felt bad for how much weight they had to carry! I know thats stupid to think because they can carry much more, but still. Anyway so we took a two hour ride, and it was fun, but like I said before I couldn't help but feel back for these horses who had to go on the same walk over and over everyday, and some of them where old and kinda dragged their legs, it made me sad! Anyway after that experience, I promised myself I would never go horseback riding again!

SUPERCROSS 09'

A couple weeks ago Phil and I went to supercross with a group of friends! We had a really good time, and I can't wait to go again! As most of you know I am by no means a sporty person, but there is something about actually going and watching events that makes them so much more fun, and a little competitive side of me comes out. lol. Anyway here are some pictures of that night.


Our friends Bert and Ashley

CHRiSTMAS 2008

Yay, this year for Christmas we got to go up to Utah and spend it with my family! I love every chance I get to see my family! I miss them so much, and it really is hard to live so far away from them. Christmas was great! We had alot of fun just hanging out and doing our family traditions. Phil and I both eneded up getting really sick, and didn't get a chance to visit everyone we wanted to but we will hopfully be up there very soon! It was so fun to see and play with Tylee, I just love her so much! She has grown a ton, and is the cutest baby! Its so weird to see Colton, Kelsey, and Chad so grown up too! They really are great kids and I love spending time with them. I can't wait till next year!!



I hate this picture of me, but I had to put it up because Phil was so so so sick on Christmas morning, but he managed to put on a happy face and open presents with us!!

PROVECHO!

A couple weekends ago Stacey invited me to go down to Hollywood with her and Sarah. She was going to have dinner at a resturaunt called Provecho where her boyfriend was the manager. I was really excited to go cause I knew how nice of a resturaunt it was and I don't get that many chances to eat at such nice places. Needless to say the night was sooo much fun and the food was amazing!! Most people who know me know how picky an eater I am, well I tried four different kinds of fish, octopus, and a lot of other things I would have never ever thought I would eat, but it was all amazing!! I definetly recommend it for anyone looking for a really fancy resturaunt in LA. I can't wait to go again!!

SNOW DAYS!!

I know I have been slacking a bit on keeping my blog updated, but here are some pictures of the fabulous two snow days we got here in Palmdale,CA. When I woke up and saw all the snow on the ground I was in shock, I was excited cause it kinda felt like being back in UT. So I got up got dressed and attempted to go to work, well of course I couldn't go, they closed the 14 freeway for two days and I was stuck at home! Phil and I where really excited so we called some friends over and played in the snow. We took out the quad and rode around on it, and the dogs loved it!!

MAX AND TOBEY!!

As most of you know, im obsessed with dogs, and Phil got me a puppy for Christmas. I thought these pictures where soo cute so i wanted to put them up. He is three months old and getting sooo big. Max and Tobey are not the best of friends yet (i think max is a little jealous) but he is slowly but surely getting used to Tobey.

TERRiFiED TRAVELER!!

As most of you know, im not the best traveler. I hate driving in cars for long periods of time, I hate flying, I just like to be at home where everything is comforting. I know, boring right,well Philand I decided to spend the holidays with my family, so he left for Utah on friday, which left no way for me to get there except to fly!!!! I HATE FLYING!!! I have no idea how i am going to find the courage to get myself on that plane. I leave tomorrow night, and I have not slept since I bought the ticket a couple days ago! I hate everything about flying, the take off, the landing, being in the air, the turbulance! Anyway I will stop complaining about it because I know im fortunate enough to even get to go see my family for christmas. Please just for my sake, wish me good luck!!...ugh :(
P.S I feel bad for the sucker who ends up sitting next to me!!! They are in for lots of tears!!

TWiLiGHT SERiES!!

Ok, so Cindy (Brindys mom) new I liked to read, so she told me about a new series of books that she just started called Twilight. Then all the hype came when the movie was coming out. Of course I didn't read the book yet, but I did see the movie and fell completely in love with the story. I knew I had to get my hands on the books! My friend Kerry at work, just started getting into it too and told me I could borrow the first book, since she was already on the second, well that was last week and now im on the FOURTH book, the last one in the series! Im completely obsessed with it and I think all the books are amazing! Phil hates that in every spare moment I have, im reading the book, so into it, I sometimes don't realize he is talking to me, lol!! I know isn't that rediculous!!!! Anyway I just wanted to recommend the books to anyone who liked the movie! The books are amazing too!! Well thats all I have to say, I better get back to reading......

DiSNEYLAND!

Last wednesday was one of the funnest days I have had in a looooong time!! My Dad, and two sisters came down for just one day to California. Spur of the moment we decided to go to Disneyland! I was so excited because I had not been there in about ten years!! So much had changed I swear we where all acting like little kids running to every ride with the biggest smiles accross our faces! The day went by entirely too fast and times like those truly make me appreciate every second I get to spend with my family. They are amazing and im so lucky to have them! Thanks Dad, Brit and, Kels! Next time the whole family has to come to make it that much more fun!!

THANKSGiViNG WEEKEND!!

First of all I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I loved having the long weekend and best of all I got a big surprise. Phil bought me a new puppy, and he is the cutest thing ever! We have a big dog named Max, and we decided he needed to have a friend. Yes, puppies are so cute, but they are ALOT of work!
I also went to the race track for "A DAY IN THE DIRT", its a big event where a bunch of people come out and race dirtbikes. I went with my friend Sarah to watch her boyfriend race and it was a ton of fun!
Phil and I also went to a bar called Saddle Ranch for our friend Ashleys 21st Birthday party. It is a pretty popular place because it was right off of City Walk in Universal Studios, and they have two mechanical bulls you can ride. There was no way i was getting on that thing, but a couple of our friends did and it was sooo funny to watch!
Im sad this weekend is coming to an end, but its bitter sweet for me because that means Christmas is that much closer and I get to go home and be with my family!


This is my new PUPPY TOBY!! I LOVE HIM!!


I loved watching the little kids ride their dirtbikes around, it was so cute!


This is part of the race track, it was so BiG!

HALLOWEEN TiME!

I have always loved halloween. I love everything about it, the dressing up, the candy, the decorations..everything!! This year I dressed up as Alice in Wonderland and I loved my costume! A friend of mine threw a big halloween party and it was fun to see everyones costumes and see how creative they where. Well Here are a couple pictures I managed to get!


Phil and Me, im not even going to explain what his costume was..lol


Stacey was a Pin-Up girl, but alot of people thought it was an Amy Winehouse costume.


Danielle was a Pirate Snatcher!

FiNALLY EMPLOYED!!!

Yay!! I finally found a job!! When Phil left to Iraq I had quit my job and went to Utah for a little bit to spend time with my family of course. Well I had a great time while I was there and then Phil came home and we went back to california and back to reality for me, lol. I had to find a job and go through that process all over again. Well I have been home for awhile now and had absolutely no luck in finding a job. Well I finally got one today, and although my loooongg vacation was very much needed, I really am looking forward to going back to work and getting a paycheck every week.(phils excited too, now he doesn't have to pay for EVERYTHING!!) LOL..XOXO!!

TOGA PARTY!!

Saturday night our friends Brittany and Alexis had a house warming party/toga party! Everyone dressed up and it was so much fun. Phil unfortunetly was sick and didn't get to make the party but I still had tons of fun! I couldn't decide what kind of fabric to wear and I had no idea how to make a toga, well I tried and I think it worked out pretty well. I kinda felt more like a jungle girl, but I loved it and everyone else came up with some funny ideas too! I wish I would have grabbed a couple more pictures and I should have taken one of the whole length so you could see the complete outfit but oh well...here are the pics I did get!

UTAH ViSiT!!

Ok so I know I have been back in California for awhile but Phil and I have been so busy moving our stuff and getting back into the routine of things I have not had time for anything else! So today I was looking through my camera and wanted to post up a few pictures from my Utah Trip. I had soooo much fun and i miss everyone so much i can't wait to visit again! XOXO



Ezra was sooo cute playing out in the rain!


Chad with Tylee walking to pick up Phil!
He is the best uncle ever!


Chad with Phils gun, he was so excited to hold it!


I thought this picture was soo funny because Chad loves dogs but is really afraid of them. The whole time Max was there Chad was very cautious around him. Then I find them sleeping in the same bed and couldn't help but laugh!!




On our last night there Phil and I took Kelsey and Chad to Boondocks and played minature golf and a bunch of arcade games! We had sooo much FUN!!!
