Lets go SUNS!

We were lucky enough to go to the first Suns vs. Spurs playoff game on Monday.  I HATE the Spurs!! I'm so so glad we beat them that night!  And, Wednesday night!  And, Friday night! Woohoo 3-0!  Hopefully we sweep 'em.

We had a blast Monday night.  Thanks Dad!

Tip off. Go Amar'e!

These were the 'Golden Grannys'.  Seriously hilarious dancing.

The arena was PACKED with ORANGE!

ehhh the hair looks a little dowdy...!  Must be from all that cheering.

SUNS WIN!

P. S. Suns just keep focusing on winning.  We don't care about your stupid political perspective that most of you know nothing about anyways.  Keep the 'Los Suns' jerseys at home. 

Two Years Down, Forever to Go!

Its hard to believe that it has been two years since this cRaZy, LOVE filled day!

I'm so happy I found such an amazing person who is PERFECT for me!

I'm so grateful that with the blessings of the temple, Steven and I have the opportunity to be together forever.  After two short years, forever still sounds pretty dang good!

This year for our anniversary we stayed in a resort up in Carefree.  We spent the day on Saturday shopping around in Scottsdale and ate dinner at PF Changs!  The resort was beautiful and were able to have the hot tub, pool, and fireplace all to ourselves later that night. 

 

We had an awesome relaxing weekend that was REALLY needed.  Thanks Steven, for the best 2 years ever!

Bright Lights. Big Party.

Last Saturday NASCAR came to town so naturally Steven's parents came too!  They are HUGE NASCAR fans and invited us and my little bro Neil to join them.  We had a blast!

My little man while we were in the cab.  Steven talked the cab driver into taking us from our car waaay out in the dirt parking lot to the front gates for 5 bucks.  My feet thanked him.

Woo!  Theres nothing like the sound of 40+ stock cars going all at once!

Ann and Steve!

The boys insisted on having huge hot dogs.  I think they were each a foot long.  Sick.

The headphones saved my ears, and they helped me keep track of what the heck was going on the whole time.  They broadcasted the guys commentating about the race.  I kinda felt like I knew what was goin on!

And, this big guy was right in the middle of all of those thousands of people as we were walking out.

Welcome to Arizona NASCAR!

                       

And, I'd also like to mention that this was my second NASCAR race.  The first one I went to was while we were living in Indianapolis.  Arizona rednecks are NOTHING compared to midwest rednecks... 

Spring Cleaning

We live with my parents and my family is always coming and going every day. The one place where all of us end up several times a day seems to be the kitchen. We often have to eat at separate times which can lead to lots of little messes.  Everybody hates cleaning the kitchen; especially the boys. This is what I found Saturday morning after my dad got stuck cleaning it.

The pic doesn't quite do it justice, but he made sure the whole kitchen was roped off!  Sorry Dad, it didn't last long!

Shout Out to My Boy!

Steven and I have been on a big health kick lately, and it has really paid off for him! 20 pounds in the past month. HOLLA! He looks super good. And I'm super proud! I would include a picture, but he'd kill me if he knew I was writing about this, so it's a good thing for me that he never looks at this. I've always wanted us to be more healthy, and he has too; but, lets just say that our actions in the past have been much louder than our words. Sounds like a typical married couple right?? Everytime we started a new thing TOGETHER it always ended two weeks later. I must admit I would get frustrated at times because he didn't want to eat healthy and hit the gym every day. No one else's hubby is like that right?! Its hard to stay healthy when the person you eat almost every meal with doesn't want to eat egg whites and salad! But, his latest achievements have changed his mind somewhat. Last night we sat down to eat dinner and he prayed that, "we could continue to stay healthy and keep the weight off". Say whaaa? I just about fell off my chair and maybe said AMEN a little too loud. Maybe a miracle, maybe not. Regardless, I'm grateful for this big change and hope it sticks around for while! I need to catch up to him!

Gila Valley Temple

I'm super excited for the Gila Valley temple to be done. My mom showed me this video and I thought I would share it with anyone associated with Thatcher/Pima/Safford. Its so crazy that there will be a temple there!
