Stuart thought this picture was pretty funny.... it was my 2nd hit of the day - and yes, I started from those little yellow markers behind. :) I DID get better though!




I LOVE driving golf-carts! I just don't see the point of golfing if you are going to walk!?!

Nicole and Jeremy waiting patiently while either me or Stuart are looking for our ball.

Nicole and Jeremy! We had such a great time with them. Nicole is due in July, and she still got some awesome shots! And Jeremy put us all to shame. Thanks guys!

Here's everyone golfing... we had TONS of fun!

Happy Mother's Day!

For Mother's day this year, a bunch of us kids went in on a book for Mom. It was tons of fun to celebrate with Mom! I know she'll hate this picture because of the band-aide on her face. But, I for one, am glad she went and FINALLY got some skin-cancer removed. I LOVE YOU MOM!

Happy Birthday Whit!

Here's a bunch of us celebrating Whit's b-day at Angies! It was lots of fun and WE LOVE WHITNEY! :)

Boo on Insurance

That's right... boo on insurance. I recently went to the U of U to see a fertility doctor, and found out I need to have an MRI and some blood-work done. So, I called my my lovely insurance (that I PAY for every month). Not only were they rude to me, they wouldn't give me any straight answers. They kept asking if I was infertile. Now, my insurance won't cover any infertility treatments but they will cover anything that is diagnostic. I kept explaining to this woman that niether the MRI or the blood-work would get me pregnant. So, it didn't really matter why I was having them, they were not to treat infertility. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Needless to say, I am anxiously awaiting a call back from Natalie. Boo on insurance.

Sushi

Ok, so I found out today that I am NOT a sushi person. Blah. I went to lunch with Stuart and a few guys from his work, to this great place in Logan. The beef was delicious, the salad dressing was devine, but I don't like sushi. I thought I was so brave to try it (since I HATE fish), and I almost lost it all right there. First I tried some roll with tuna on top. It tasted fine, but the texture was enough to kill me, then I tried california rolls - which by the way, have no raw fish in them - and they were the worst! They tasted just like fish. Blah. I guess I have to say that I did like the "Anger Management" rolls, although I don't think they really count... they had cooked, fried shrimp inside. I do like shrimp, so they were actually fairly good.

Road Show Idol!

Here is the video of our ward's road show. Stuart did an awesome job being "Ryan Seacrest". The video is about 10 min, so don't feel obligated to watch it all. Plus, I recorded it on my camera, so there was no zoom or anything I could do. The girls yelling, "We love you Ryan" are Annaka and Heidi. It was by far the best Road Show of the stake. Good job, Honey!

It's HERE!

YES! My furniture arrived yesterday! Merry Christmas to ME! We were up so late last night putting things together! This is my beautiful kitchen table! I am absolutely in LOVE with it!Just a few before and after pictures...

I also got a bedroom set!!! I am so excited, I FINALLY have a post bed and I LOVE it. I need to take some pictures of it after it was all assembled, but I'm waiting until I get my nightstand and dresser set up also!No, these weren't extra pieces, but there were a LOT of screws!

This is Stuart's cousin Matt and his fiance Marie. They were so sweet and brought us doughnuts out and helped us set everything up!

EASTER!

For Easter this year, we had an Easter egg hunt in Whitney's backyard. It was great fun and we all got tons of candy. Although, next year we either need more kids or less eggs! :) HAPPY EASTER!

Easter Eggs

Yesterday, all of us girls (local ones anyways) got together and dyed easter eggs! Stuart and my eggs.

Jaq LOVED dying easter eggs... he just wanted to keep dipping them in (not gently either). Here are Lauryn and me trying desperately to release his little death-grip on his poor egg.

Whitney was busy in the kitchen...

3 cute girls! Annaka, Sesaly, and Heidi!

Suprisingly, we didn't have any disasters with the egg dye!

WINNER!

So, it's official! STUART WON THE CONTEST! He did such a great job and got his body fat percentage down to 7.5%!! WAY TO GO HONEY!! Now it's just hard to decide what to spend that money on! :)

Mr. Man

Here are Stuart's before/after pictures. He did such a great job with his diet and exercise! :)

After Pictures...

What could I possibly say that could do these pictures justice? HOT! The big weigh-in is tomorrow! :) Cross your fingers that he wins!

New Maid

So, the housework has been piling up so high lately that I took the plunge and hired a maid. She's very cheap, dresses VERY professionally and mopped EVERYTHING... now when I say everything, I mean everything... even the dog! Now, she is one of a kind, however I hear she has a sister... :)

Mexico?

Ok... I know everyone is wondering where the pictures are from Mexico! Well, for those of you who don't know... we just got back from Puerto Pinasco Mexico. It was a BLAST! Thanks to everyone who made it magical! :) Anyways, the pictures are on the way. It's going to be a lot of work, so I'm gearing up for it! :) Untill then, enjoy these posts...

Nashville Tribute Concert

We just got back from a concert put on by the Nashville Tribute. They are the people responsible for the Joseph cd and the Treck cd. Both amazing albums. The concert was amazing!! It was so much fun and the spirit was there too. These are some amazing artists and I would strongly recommend everyone own these CDs. They played us a song from their new CD about missionaries, and it will be amazing as well! And I obviously love to use the word AMAZING! I should invest in a thesaurus. :)

Happy St. Patty's Day!

A little leprechaun visited our house on St. Patrick's Day and left some fun little green treats for Stuart! Hope everyone wore green and had a great day!

Shooting!

So, we recently went shooting out in Lewiston. It's so nice to shoot out there because there are so many animals! I'm just kidding, we were only shooting clay pigeons and cans.... and an owl (the fake kind that are supposed to scare away birds).
Here's everyone taking turns shooting. We have some very good marksmen in the family!
We went through a TON of ammo and pigeons. It looked like a ammo-shop in the back of the truck. We were all a little nervous about Blake with the gun!

Here's Celeste shooting... I actually got one clay pigeon! My favorite gun is the 22, not the shot-gun.

What a cute couple shooting together!

These are just a few more pictures of what you'll meet if you come un-invited to Lewiston! :)

Foggy?

This post is specifically for Mom... I was just wondering is it foggy at your house today?

We have beautiful clear skies here! Too bad I have to leave my house-above-the-fog to go to work. :( I love you!

14 Days of LOVE

So, for Valentine's this year I am doing the 14 Days of Valentine's for Stuart. It's kind of like the 12 days of Christmas... I wish this was my original idea... but it wasn't. Each day from Feb. 1st through the 14th, Stuart will get a little something as a reminder of my love for him! I would give you the list of what he is getting... but he does occasionally read our blog, so I'll have to post it later. This was what he found for day one. The note included said, "ONE cute wife who is WHEY into you." He got the picture and some whey protein. I know it sounds like a lame gift, but Stuart is currently in this hard-body competition at work, he's working out like crazy... so he eats (or drinks) this stuff everyday. Stuart is looking great by the way, I will have to post the before/after pictures of him when he is done. I have also been doing the diet/workouts, and I'm proud to say I have lost 9 pounds! Yes!!! Anyways, I will post more later!

(bytheway, Emily (my sis-in -law) took that great picture of me... it was quite a feat, since I am NOT photogenic at all!!! Thanks Emily!)
