Well not really new...but kind of. I decided NOT to try out for the play at the community theater this summer because I found out it is going to be Man of La Mancha. I dislike this play greatly and I didn't want to waste my time. So I am going to stay in Vegas an extra four days. Yay! My week is busy already so a few extra days will be great. Tomorrow we are going to see The Soloist. Wednesday Bree is doing my hair and we're going to go pick up the tickets for Phantom. Thursday I am hopefully getting a pedicure, Friday Katie is coming and we're going to Hayli's play, Saturday is Haydn's baptism and dinner and Phantom! Sunday is church and Katie's going home. I would have left the next day but now it's Friday! :) So my whole week is open next week. Yay! Ty has been crazy lately. He says "HIIIiiii" now. It is so funny. He is getting good at mimicking. I moved his appt. to May 13. Also I think I'm having a movie party at my house on May 27. I have to decide which movie though. I will get input. Well, I better go cause the missionaries are coming over.
Until next time...
IT WENT GREAT! Saturday we drove to St. George (stopped the night before in Cedar to sleep at Drew and Ky's) and dropped off Ty with grandma Lori and grandpa Ron. We continued on to Flagstaff and made great time getting there. Sunday we spent the day at the Grand Canyon and watched the sunset on Sunday night. We hiked in a little ways and the weather was perfect. No crowds. On the road the next day we bought some Native American trinkets (bracelet, pots) at a roadside stand and headed for Colorado. We stopped at the 4 corners monument. I was in Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico all at once! We stopped in Cortez, CO and visited Mesa Verde National Park. There are indian ruins built into the mountains. It is amazing. I can't wait til Brandon uploads the pictures. It was definitely a highlight. Wednesday morning we left Cortez early and drove to Arches National Park/Moab. We wanted to get a camp site in the Devils Garden campground and we got the LAST ONE! Yay! We set up camp and went into Moab to buy supplies. We hiked to the Double O/Landscape Arches which was a totally fun 4 mile hike and it was so beautiful. Again, the weather was splendid. I saw SO many lizards! :) Thursday we woke up early, ate breakfast and went to hike to Delicate Arch. It was also a fun hike, even though it was quite sunny and warm but it was so worth it. Beautiful! The rest of Thursday we bummed around, ate dinner at a cafe in town, and climbed a big rock to watch the sunset. That night was way way windy so we didn't sleep as well as the night before but it was ok. We headed back to Cedar City and stopped in Richfield to visit a friend. We decided to stay at my parents cabin for the night since they would be there and I was going home with them anyway. Brandon left Saturday morning back to Tremonton and I came home with my parents and Kylee. Lori and Ron brought Ty over to my parents.' OH I MISSED HIM SO MUCH! I was so happy to see him. He is so silly. He is walking more and eats like no one I've ever seen. Haha. It was a good vacation for everyone and I am so glad I got to go and make memories with Brandon. When Ty gets older we can all go! It's been good so far in Vegas. I am PLEASED with the weather. But of course I miss Brandon :) I'll be here til May 4.
Until next time...

There ya have it. Should be an adventure. Tomorrow is get the house clean and pack day. The car is all ready to go. Yay!
I picked Mabel up from the vet today after she was declawed. She was pretty sad but I think she'll be fine. We're keeping her in the office with her own litter box that is sand free. No pebbles in the paws they said. So I am going to be playing vet for the next couple days as well. Sibbie thought FOR SURE she was gone. Sad. Well, time for bed!
Until next time....
So yesterday and Sunday were absolutely gorgeous. Easter Sunday was just what you would want easter sunday to be. We went to Chris and Monica's for easter dinner and Ty looked adorable. Our camera battery died so of course I didn't get pictures of him :( Anyway today is Tuesday and it is RAAAAIIINNNING. Alot. It makes me not productive (thats it I'll blame the weather). I took both cats to the vet today for shots and Mabel is getting decalwed. Finally. It will be nice. She will be 2 on April 24. Gosh they grow up so fast. Lol. Ty is still walking here and there but still uses crawling as his main mode of transportation. We have been getting ready for our vacation. Well at least we have been getting the car ready. We still need to figure out where we're staying and I HAVE to get laundry done. Laundry is like the annoying friend that doesn't go home after the slumber party is over. Just kinda...hangs around. I don't know.
Anyway Ty is asleep right now and so I thought I would just jot a few lines. My beautiful flowers have come up in the front planter and the tulips will be up any time now. Yay! My corner planter (and probably the front) is going to get rocks soon. I bought some solar lantern things. I don't know if we'll actually plant anything this year. Also I need to hang out with people in my neighborhood, there are cool people I just never come out of the house I guess. When the weather is better I swear I will. I like being outside on nice days. Who doesn't?? Our tree is FULL of honeybees. I love them. But when the wasps come I hate it. Also I hate mosquitos.
Oh! I am going to see Phantom in Vegas on May 2! I scored cheap cheap tickets in great seats thanks to Lori. We are so very excited and thankful! I am also going to see Aida in September. This is a good year for plays! I saw Wicked on the 10th. It was very amazing. I am going to audition for a play on May 5 so we'll see how that goes. Its just a community theater thing. Kostya is coming to BYU in January. Brandon and I are thrilled.
Well I am rambling now so its time to go. Life is good!
Until next time...
Happy Birthday to Ty Ty! His real party will be on Friday.
Hey there! We're actively planning a Utah/Arizona/Colorado trip coming up April 18-25. After dropping of Ty with grandma in Vegas we're going to take a week and visit the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Mesa Verde National park and Arches National Park. It will be fun! It's for our 7th wedding anniversary (which is in August) but we want to go in April cause it won't be scorching or crowded. Then I am gonna go to Vegas from the 25th until May 4th to hang with the fam and see Hayli's school play. Speking of play, I am trying out for one on May 6. Wish me luck as it has been a long while! I am ready for nice weather. Today was a cold and windy mess. I was ready to pack up and move! My hopes are that tomorrow will be better. I ALWAYS hope that :)
Until next time...
