Birthday WEEK!

On Tuesday Aug. 16 was my BIRTHDAY! I turned 22 years old. I ended up having to cover someone at work on my birthday, but that is okay since I need the hours right now. After working 10 hours, I finally got to come home. Adam made me his famous hamburgers! THEY ARE SO GOOD!!! I did pretty good this year and ended up with money, a movie, a dash cover for the car, and window shinny thing so the sun doesn't come in, a willow tree figure called HERO (has a women holding a folded up flag), a shirt, itunes gift card, gift card to Mimi's Cafe (which we will use one day to go to breakfast), and a necklace.
This weekend was also way awesome because we got to go to Park City! What made it even better was it was FREE!!!!!!! We went with the National guard to a marriage retreat, we stayed at the Yarrow(which was okay, but not the best). We got our breakfast and lunches paid for, which saves us a TON on money on food. We got to watch videos that a guy name Mark Gungor does and he is way funny! If you have never heard of him before just google: laugh you way to a better marriage. Saturday after we got done with classes we went to the outlet mall but ended up not staying very long because there was a lot of people. So we went to ride the alpine slide. Adam has not gone on it in about 20 years and I have never gone on them.

On the lift ride up

We went down the older slides, which from what I have heard are way more fun then the new ones. We had to wait in line for a long time because there was a wedding that just got done and most of the guest went down the slides. It was pretty funny watching all these girls get into the sleds and they have short dresses and high heels on. I would hate the be the one at the bottom when they come down.

Here is Adam getting ready to go on down

And me...

We almost didn't get to go because it looked like it was going to rain and if it rains while you are on it you have to stop and walk the rest of the way down. There was no way I was going to stop and walk.

Me after my ride

About 10 mins after we got down to the bottom it started to rain, lucky us.

For dinner we went down main street looking for something good to eat.

This is the hat I bought that day with some of my birthday money.

We did end up at a place called Main Street Pizza and Pasta and got seated pretty quick but they didn't have the kind of pizza we wanted and if we were to make it with the extra topping it would end up being a lot of money so we left and then got some Dominos. Which was AWESOME!!!

LOVE THIS!

For our anniversary Adam got me a blender. A blender is the one thing we DIDN'T get for our wedding and I have been wanting one ever since.

My new favorite thing to make is smoothies!

We love making them, our favorite so far is strawberries, bananas, nectarine, yogurt, milk, with a little bit of ice.

So YUMMY! Thanks ADAM! I LOVE IT!!!

VIVA LAS VEGAS

On July 21, 2011 Adam and I had our 3rd Anniversary! This year for our Anniversary we decided to go to Las Vegas. I have never been and it had been a long time since Adam had been. We had so much fun going to the old part of Las Vegas and watching the light show they have.

New York, New York

The fountains in front of the Bellagio

The Flamingo at the Flamingo in Las Vegas

We stayed at the Stratosphere, so we go to go up to the top for free, and not have to pay 15.00 bucks a person. We went up twice

We also went and saw Hoover Dam.

I love being married to Adam. He is the love of my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together. Thank you Adam for the BEST 3 YEARS!

Camping

Clear back in April, Adam and I bought a camper. Reason being so we can just pick up and go camping this Fall while we are in school. This last weekend was the first time we have been able to take it out camping and man was it nice! The AC works, which is wonderful!!! We went camping with our friends, Jake and Hope and their little girl, and then Adam's brother Chunk and his girlfriend came. We went to Starvation up Spanish Fork Canyon.

Here is our camper

Our camp site.

We had an awesome time and can't wait to go again. Now it's time to get ready for our next activity...Hiking with Mindi and Scott on Saturday and then we our off to Las Vegas for our 3rd Anniversary!

Our Bedroom

After 10 long months of living in a tiny little bedroom Adam and I got to move into our apartment that we built in the attic of Adam's brother

Here are some pictures of our bedroom:

I love this sign with the picture below it

My of my favorite parts of the bedroom is the closet.

Adam built the shelves

Our closet also has our shower in it. We got the stone tile from Adam's aunt in Arizona, and it Adam put it all together. It looks AWESOME!

HAPPY 4th!!!

Our 4th of July weekend started on Saturday. We got some AWESOME discount tickets for $14.50!!!!

This is the view of the stage from our seats.

I was really disappointed in the way they honored our military. All they did was have the Air Force put an American Flag up .... and THAT was IT!!!!!!

I was so mad that they didn't do anything else. I think that they are now getting to the point were they are more concerned about the Fireworks, and the entertainment, and who is going to win the talent show. We need to remember all the men and women who are serving our Country. Not just those who are over seas, but those who are all around us everyday.

Brad Paisley!!

On Sunday we had a family BBQ with all our Arizona family. Adam and I were in charge of Dessert. So I decided to make cakepops.

They are so, so, so GOOD!

Chunk was trying to steal my pop, he loved them.

Tricycle Diaper Cake

So I have been super, SUPER EXCITED to post about this Tricycle diaper cake. I made this one for my friend Michelle who is going to be having a baby boy. I have not been able to post just in case she happened to look at my blog, but today was her baby shower so I am safe to post about it now.

Front view

I first saw one of these at a boutique store in town and thought that it was so cool and my friend just happened to be having a baby. I normally make the plain diaper cakes and thought I would try out the tricycle. Next time I want to try out a four wheeler.

I think it turned out great and Michelle LOVED it!
