What is a must when Trae visits YaYa & Dust - Jumping Jacks

On Tuesday we decided to make a trip over to Jumping Jacks. We had a GREAT time. The kids loved it, and lets be honest, so did the adults.

Me, My Mom, and My sister

Trae & Tia

Ali and Kira - excuse the WHITE legs!

Jeff and Kitani joined in on the fun

All of us being crazy!

Dusty's Birthday

Dusty had a nice little birthday. He had to work, but before Trae and Kira left they came to wish Uncle Dust, or as Kira calls him "D" a Happy Birthday!

They each got a pick out a balloon and a treat. They were super excited.

Later that night we met up with Dusty's family at Tucanos for Dusty's birthday dinner. It is always a must on his birthday. Hope you had a great day!

At Tucanos

28 is a bigger number than 23

Happy 28th Birthday to my sweet husband!

Dusty I hope you have a fabulous day. Love you!

23 is an Odd Number

I had a birthday on Sunday and turned 23. It is such a weird number. But I enjoyed my birthday anway. My mom and sister and her kids all were here to celebrate with me. The kids were so excited and made great decorations for me. Jeff and Kitani, and Karly and Carlos all came over for a delicious dinner made by head chef Lorriane (aka my mom) and the sous chef Dusty. They did great and it was amazing!!!! Thanks everyone for spending my birthday with me.

After dinner and cake Kira decided to get dressed up in Trae's pirate stuff. She is so cute!!

Kitani wanted to get in on the pirate fun as well!

Wedding on the Weekend

Saturday Dusty and I were able to go to his cousin Destry's wedding. I had never met Destry and actually didn't even get to meet him at the wedding, but it was a beautiful wedding and reception.

Ribs, Singing, and Dancing Makes for a Great Night

So my birthday is coming up in the next few days and my friend Karly decided to make a night out of my birthday present. We started it off at Texas Roadhouse for some amazingly delicious rolls, ribs and steak. And we ended up at the Hale Center Theater for Hello Dolly. It was great! The singing and dancing was very entertaining and the lad who played Dolly was fantastic. Thanks Karly for the awesome birthday present, I had a great time!!

Hello Dolly!!!
I think she felt inspired to act!

Waiting for the play to start

This girl was one of the leads in the play and from Karly's home ward, so we had to stop and say hello

Spanish Fork Rodeo

This is our third rodeo of the year and we love it!

We met up with Jeff and Kitani and hung out at the carnival for a bit and then headed over to the rodeo. Dusty's family met us there. The rodeo was great!

Painting Projects

This weekend we were really productive, and by we I mean Dusty, Jeff and Kitani. :) I bought paint probably a good year ago to paint my bathroom. I just never got around to it, but have been thinking about it a lot these last couple of weeks. Well Friday while Dusty was at home, he taped off the bathroom so that we could get to work on Saturday. We got up and started painting. I called Kitani to ask her opinion on something, and her and Jeff showed up 15 minutes later and ready to work. We ended up painting the bathroom and an accent wall in our room an amazing color of purple. It is so dark and gorgeous! It is Hotel Room by Ralph Lauren. I love it!! Thanks guys for all of your hard work. You guys are awesome. And thanks Dusty for getting me going. It still wouldn't be done by the end of the year if it was up to me.

Jeff and Kitani got busy
These 2 were very aware of all the imperfections.
Jeff and I thought it looked good!

Sorry the pictures didn't come out that great, but you get the idea!

Golfing Range Fun

Saturday night we met up with some friends at the driving range. We had a good time.

Karly - she is really concentrating

I love this picture of Dusty

Harley Dog

So the other day I was hanging out outside while Dusty was watering the flowers

and I started to decorate Harley. She did not like it!!

But I thought that it was funny and she looked so cute!

This was her when she rolled her eyes at me!

She was not amused

Anniversary - Melting Pot, Park City and Lagoon

I love anniversaries!!! And I love that I have a husband who likes to go and do something for them. It makes it so much more fun. We might as well take advantage while we don't have kids to get out and go do something.

Dusty and I at the Melting Pot
Love this place!!!
Delicious chocolate!!!!

Baja Cantina in Park City

Dusty said to not put this picture on the blog, but he wouldn't be normal for a good picture so this one goes on the blog. ha ha

We stayed at the Westgate up in Park City. It was so relaxing and fun. We swam and snacked and watched Confessions of a Shopaholic. I love that movie!!

This is the yummy breakfast that we had on Friday morning.

Who doesn't want eclairs with their breakfast?

Dusty hanging out in our room

We then decided to go to Lagoon. We had a great time, but we were exhausted by the end of the day. This is us after our long day. We both look super hot.

This is a picture of my hot leg. We sat in the lazy river for almost 2 hours, and I did some weird job on the sunscreen. It even looks better in person.

4 Years as Mr. & Mrs.

4 YEARS!!! Wow! The time has flown and it has been a lot of fun!

Thanks Dusty for being so amazing, and being so patient. I think that we both lucked out when we found each other. Here is a look on our wedding and past anniversaries.

(Sorry I don't have any pics from our 2nd year we were up in Park City)

1st Year- Las Vegas. It was hot!!!! But we still had a good time

3rd Year - Snowbird and the Melting Pot (that tradition will stay!)

Looking forward to the many years to come and exciting new adventures!!
