CALIFORN-I-A!!!!

This past weekend, I took a little trip to California!! My friends offered to drop me off at my Dad's on their way to Huntington Beach. So we arrived at my Dad's on Friday morning, so we spent the night there. When we woke up we took my ride for a spin! :) Haha, it's actually my Dad's of course. But isn't it sweet!?! I wish it was mine!


Let me tell ya......That car was a blast to drive!!! I never understood the love of Corvette's until I drove that!!! The sound and the feel of the engine is amazing when you gun it full force!! aahhhh..... :D That night, we just had the missionaries over dinner. One was from Bear Lake, the other was from Tonga, who has 18 SIBLINGS!!! Crazy, but it was interesting to hear about his culture. That night, my Grandma also brought my baby girl, Chloie, over so I could see her. Isn't she freakin' adorable!?!?! I love and miss her so much, but she's extremely spoiled where she's at, and she loves it!

On Saturday, my Dad and I took the Vette to where we saw thousands of bikers and some pretty sweet Harley's! I also love the sound of those...

We also saw the Colorado River and the original London Bridge at Lake Havasu. It was a really fun weekend. We didn't get home until 6:00 AM on Monday but it was worth it!

CEDAR FUN!

I went down to Cedar City to visit my friends down at SUU. We had a lot of fun. We just hung out, and did whatever. Love these guys!! We went to St. George and played some volleyball and Flag Football! It was a blast!! We also went and visited our friend that lives in St. George, Naomi! We all have so much fun together even if we just sit around and talk. The day we were leaving, we were watching "America's Next Top Model" on TV. The power went out, so we decided to head down to the park, where we pretended to be on "America's Next Top Model" haha, it was awesome. I don't see what those models have that we don't ;-) We also just played some Frisbee and headed back home. It was a lot of fun to be with them. And now us girls are going on a cruise together in June before our little Kristin gets married. I can't wait!!



EASTER '08


Easter Sunday!
Easter was fun. I was a bit sick but still loved it because we had PERFECT weather. My family got together and went to Michelle's for an Easter egg hunt and a picnic. It was a lot of fun and I obviously enjoyed taken a few pics of the kids in their cute Easter outfits!

CANCUN!!


CANCUN!!!
I'm just gonna start out with things from the beginning of this year. I was lucky enough to go to Cancun!! I wouldn't ever have been able to go, if it wasn't for my amazing friends!!! The best birthday present ever! Thanks guys, it was amazing!! While we were there, we were able to go on a couple excursions. One we went on was to Chichen Itza! One of the Seven wonders of the world, it was pretty awesome, we learned a lot about the Mayans and their culture. It was all really interesting. Another cool thing, is when you stand at the bottom of the Chichen Itza Pyramid and clap, you hear an eagle from the top of the pyramid because of the way the Mayans set up the acoustics in the top. I couldn't believe it, it was one of the coolest things ever!! Also, on a certain day of the year, the sun will hit the pyramid just right to make a shadow of a snake, ya, crazy. They definitely knew what they were doing back then when they built that building. The snake, eagle, and jaguar are all interlinked in their culture.

While we were in Cancun, we were also able to go to Xcaret where we saw a pretty sweet night show of the Mayans, and Mexicans culture. We also went snorkeling in Puerto Morelos, I ain't gonna lie, I was a little nervous at first because, I'm a little afraid of the Ocean haha, but it was beautiful, we saw the biggest Sting Ray I've ever seen in my life!! We also saw a huge sea turtle, I felt like I was in "Finding Nemo" haha. Oh ya, we also went to Ikkil, where I faced another one of my fears, jumping from what I think is a very high cliff into water. But it was awesome! I enjoyed it all! So much fun!!

Here I am!

So I've decided to start a blog. Apparently, it's the new hip thing to do these days so why not try it out! :) I've been vacationing quite often lately and will be more in the future, so I decided to start this to share my adventures! How exciting huh!?!?! Well, here is my first post! I'll start working on this and get it just as groovy as the rest of y'all's!
