FINALLY!

Sometimes I like to think I'm really crafty and handy. This is one of those times. For a while now I have been wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets, just never had the guts to do it. Me and Steph would ALWAYS talk about it, we were both chickens. ha. So I took the plunge and did it. And I must say I'm quite proud of myself, I can be quite the handyman :).

BEFORE:

(don't mind all the shiz on the counters, it was under construction.)

DURING:


AFTER:

Not too shabby, eh? I'm pretty proud of myself, especially for not knowing what the heck I was doing. One day when I'm rich and famous I'll have all matching appliances. But hey, it works for now. K Steph, now it's your turn! haha

Happy holidays

Merry Freaking Christmas Blogger World.

Yes, I'm still alive blogger world...

Dad's new ride.

Momma keeping us company while I do hair.

Don't I look so happy? haha. But i did come home to steak and potatoes. mmm..

Me and My Dad is his new toy. That's what he got for Valentine's day. Spoiled much?

Taking care of Vicki's nappy roots.

Me and Daddy-O

Serioulsy I don't even know why I have a blog anymore..4 months inbetween posts is a little ridiclous. And I'm not even going to say I'm going to try to blog more cause lets face it that's not going to happen. Anywho, I won't try to catch you up on what's been happening the last 4 months, hoildays were good, all I do is work, which is good, blah blah blah. So this past weekend I went home to work at the flower shop. (For those of you who didn't know before I moved to Cedar I worked at Flowers by Michelle and loved every second of it.) Anywho, I was the holiday help, along with Katie who also used to work there but lives in Reno now. It was SO much fun! I miss that job so bad. But at least I can still go back and work sometimes. I'm pretty sure my feet hated me by the time Sunday came around but nothing a little hot tubbing can't fix. So, thank you Michelle for letting me come work...oh yeah and letting me practice my whistling skills. (I can't whistle, yeah weird, my dad can whistle like there's no tomorrow but not me, so I decided I want to learn. Literally all day on Sunday I was practicing. I'm sure I was so annoying. haha. but hey, they got a good laugh out of me.)

OH YEAH.. I did go to NEW YORK!!! That is for sure blog worthy. Maybe in another 4 months you can hear about that.

Only In Cedar City

Sometimes I wonder what kind of town I am living in...this night especially. Me, Megan, and Rob were driving around the other night..and we ended up at Maverik. When we pulled in the parking lot I almost peed my pants. There was a pig tied to the bed of a truck..yes a PIG, TIED in the back of a truck. What the? Who does that? And not just a little piglet thing..a full size pig! I had to have a picture with it so I walked over there and asked the guy if I could take a picture with his pig..he looked at me like I was crazy but said yes. haha. It was the funniest thing ever. AND they had a horse trailer with cows in it! Oh boy..the days in the life of someone who lives in Cedar. Ya never know what to expect.

R.I.P. Old Yeller

For those of you that don't know I got in a car accident and totaled my car. That's right Old Yeller is dead. :( I wanted to write an obituary for it but I don't really know how to go about that or if people would frown upon it. haha. Anyway, I got that car for my 16th birthday so I had it for about 4 years. It was a beast and I loved it! Everyone said that I needed to get a yellow car but Old Yeller is irreplaceable. Now I have a silver car, and just blend in. haha.

Before....This is the day I got it.

And after. hey at least I'm still alive

CALIFORNIA!

Me, Hannah, and EMJMe at the Worlds Largest Thermometer

Swimming..with a slurpee. Can't get much better!

Me and Hannah at the beach

Us at the beach again

Don't we look SO happy.

Me and Hannah at Cheesecake Factory

Our cameras in a bag of rice-a-roni.haha. It was suppsosed to dry them out or something.

Sorry not a lot of pics..my camera got runied on the first night! LAME

This past weekend me and my friend Hannah decided to get out of town and hit the beach. Best idea ever. My friend Emily lives in California so HUGE thanks to her for the place to stay.We hit the road on Friday morning, and of course we had to act like total tourists. We came up on the biggest thermometer in the world and decided to stop. We're cool I know. But guess what..it doesn't even tell you the temperature..whats the point? Anyway we finally made it to Emily's house..which was in Laguna Niguel. And guess what the first thing we did was...went to Costco, got pizza and sat there and people watched. haha. California has some good people to watch! haha. Then me and Hannah decide to go to the beach. We were SOOOOO excited. We got there and took off our shoes and set our cameras and phones down and ran for the water. WORST IDEA EVER! There were just little waves then all the sudden a freaking tsunami waves comes up and we turn around and our stuff got washed away. My phone survived it but Hannah's phone and our cameras suffered major water damage. Later that night we went to dinner with Emily and her room mate to Cheesecake Factory then went in the hot tub..til we got kicked out. Lame. Saturday all we wanted to do was be at the beach. So we did. It was so fun! Until too many little kids came and we had to dodge the boogey boards in the ocean. Not cool. So we left and hung out at the pool at Emily's. Sunday we got up and went to the beach again. (We couldn't get enough of it) Then we had to hit the road back to Vegas. It was such a fun trip! At least I got to go somewhere this summer!

Safari!

Last night my friend Chauntelle came into town and we always need an adventure when she comes so...my friend Grant invited us to go up the mountain to look for elk. Sounded like an adventure to us so we went. ha. He took us up to Cedar Breaks and Brian Head Point. I've never been there before so that was fun and way pretty! Oh and when we were at Brian Head Point we got a flat tire..somehow it got blamed on us cause we were "bad luck". haha. So after the sight seeing we went to look for elk. We just saw deer til the end of the night and it was dark they saw some elk. All i saw was eyes cause I'm blind I guess. He claims he sees a lot more when he comes..it must have been our bad luck. But I think the funniest part of the whole night was on the was home..Grant pulled out some mouth things and was making some animal calls..I think some of them were made up but it was hilarious!

Me and Chauntelle

A deer with "mule like ears" haha

Flowers and such

For those of you that don't know, before I moved to Cedar I worked at a flower shop for 2 years. I loved every second of it. I started as customer service but worked my way up to a designer. That was probably the best job ever and I miss it like crazy! Well since then I haven't had the chance to get my hands on some flowers, I think there was one weekend I went home and helped with weddings at the shop. But this past weekend a girl I work with at the salon got married and I got to do her boquet!! I was so excited..and a little nervous cause it had been so long, what if I lost my touch! But I didn't haha. I loved the way it turned out!! But it made me miss the flowers business a lot.

The Final Product!

AND......

I made a quilt! Yes, me. Well kind of, I could have never done it without my Aunt Kim and Grandma (and my mom was the best supervisor ever). A few weeks ago my Aunt Kim to visit and she tied a few quilts and I got the bug. So she said she would help me. We all know my grandma has enough fabric for the german army so I raided her stash. ha. We had a good time tieing and visiting. Thanks Grams for the fabric and doing the edges for me. I love it!!

Here it is folks.

Footloose and Fishing

This last Thursday night me, my mom, Lindsey, my grandma, and my aunt Trisha made a trip down to St. George to go to Tuacahn to see Footloose. I haven't even seen the movie so I didn't know what to expect. But it was so good!! I highly recommend it. Before the play we went to dinner at Teaxs Roadhouse..YUM! We had such a good time with just the girls..and special thanks to Grandma for being a good sport..haha. We sure got a kick outof her that night!

Momma, Trisha, and Linds at dinner.

Me and Grams.

Pretty sure that drink was as big as her face.

All of us at dinner.

All of us at Tuachan

Then on Friday I went on my first fishing trip! Me, my parents, my grandpa and my dad's friend Gary went to Otter Creek. It ended up being pretty fun. First of all we left at 5:30 so I was not a happy camper but it's ok I got to nap on the way. We finally made it there and started "trolling", I like to sound fancy and make you think I know what I'm talking about. ha. That part was way boring. I thought if this is what it's going to be like all day just shoot me now. But luckily it wasn't. The handy dandy fish finder led us to what was supposed to be a good spot and we parked it. Gary and my grandpa caught one. Then all the sudden I felt a bite. Pretty sure everyone on the lake could hear me..I made quite the scene. I was freaking out cause I didn't know what to do. ha. After that I caught 3 more. Anyway, it turned out to be a pretty good trip!

Reeling it in!

Our spots. I don't think we moved from them. haha. Good spot to catch a few zzz's too.

My first fish!! I was too scared to hold it. ha.

Gary with his fish.

The Banana Boat. Oh yeah, be jealous!

The Captain.

Grandpa gutting the fish.

All the fish!!
