Jason and I flew out to California last weekend to meet our nephew,Colby! What a GREAT baby he is! And he is so dang cute I couldn't resist kisses! We had a fun time hanging out with family...lots of walks, Nerts, and cheesecake! Thanks to Kim and Steve for letting us stay at their house once again!!...what GREAT in-laws I have:)



What a SWEET little guy!

Sweet BOY!

We have our first nephew, COLBY!! Isn't he adorable? He sure sounds like a sweet boy! We can't wait to meet him in a few weeks! Congrats to Jessica and Brent!

Vegas Baby!

Brad, a GREAT friend from COLORADO, wanted to make a trip to Veags. So the boys planned a trip and I joined them for one night! (Someone has to work.) I had a GREAT time, probably one of the best nights out in a few years! We danced into the wee hours of the morning, it was a BLAST! Not to mention the margaritas at Margaritaville were EXCELLENT.



A LARGE tube of MARGARITAAAAAAAAAAAs!!(Jack was able to make the trip to Vegas also)

Brad was POPULAR with the Girls!

Silly Stella

Poor Stella has a HARD life!




Stella's dad is allowing her to break the rules.



Stella WAS lounging with Jason...but she started to freak out when I got the camera out.



Poor girl...I was getting ready for work when I found these crazy socks. Stella was following me around so I tried them out on her....she hated it, but I thought it was funny!



Giving me a "high five" she was trying to be SO Good so I would take the socks off.

Anniversary NUMBER 2!

The past two years have been AMAZING! We have now been together for 6 years...WOW! We dated for FOUR years before we tied the knot....and we NEVER broke up once while we were dating! Jason and I have so much fun together and I think we are a PERFECT match. What a GREAT decision we made to get married-probably the BEST decision I have ever made! I LOVE you JAS! Here are a few photos from our special day.....






I LOVE this photo of US at our table...what a spectacular view!









To celebrate we went to my family cabin over the weekend. We had a BLAST just hanging out and being lazy. We did go into Park City one evening for a YUMMY dinner.

1984!

You Belong in 1984

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

What year do you belong in?

What a Catch!

Oh yeah.......I forgot to post this great picture! Steve took my dad fishing on the delta while we were in California! My dad was proud of this catch!!

California!

We had a GREAT trip out to California this summer! My parents were able to join us for a few days so we had the opportunity to show them around! Jason and I always enjoy spending time with his family....I am sure lucky to have such GREAT inlaws!!!

We made a trip out to Napa one day, which Jason and I always LOVE! We also spent an afternoon in Santa Cruz...I couldn't believe how many people were swimming in the ocean and I had to wear a jacket the whole day. Of course Kim hosted a GREAT baby shower for Jessica. And Kristina had the whole family over one day to play at her house. She lives on a lake so we found lots to do.....fishing, riding the electric paddle boat, swimming, eating, and the boys, Jason, Scott, and Brent provided entertainment by trying to use the row boat. We had a FANTASTIC trip and enjoyed visiting with everyone....but I know Jason's FAVORITE part of the trip was sushi at Sozo's!

Out with the OLD....

In with the NEW!!

We finally bought me a new car! It is a Nissan Altima and I LOVE it!! We still have the Jetta just in case I feel the urge to drive it....yeah right! We are trying to decide if we want to sell the Jetta or keep it in case we move to California. We don't want to pay for gas in Jason's truck if he has to commute. I guess we have 3 cars for 2 drivers right now?!

Good Times....

The Reese gang came down to St. George to enjoy the HEAT! We swam a TON at my parents pool, although I have no photos. We also saw Les Mis at Tuachan and we all LOVED it! Then Jason's friend Darrin brought his twin girls up from Vegas to go to the lake. Man they LOVED the lake! They went wakeboarding with Jason a couple of times, swam, drove the boat and sang all their preschool songs for us. They were so talkative and entertaining....plus they entertained themselves! (a benefit to having twins) Breonna and Kara also got to wakeboard. They are getting pretty good considering they only go about once a summer! It was a GREAT weekend...or what we call "Good times!"

Summer Blow-out.....Jason's Graduation Trip

Jason is DONE with school!!!.....YEAH, I can hardly believe he has his MBA and is done with school forever! What a great feeling! He wanted to celebrate his graduation with some friends at Lake Powell....same people we do our annual Lake Powell trip with.... There was a lot of beer, food, music, wakeboarding, surfing, trampoline, sexy legs, country club boys, late nights, swimming, and tramp wars.....to name a few! Enjoy a few photos!

The Group (without Brad and Dion)
A common sighting.....too many sexy legs (even @ Wal-Mart....)

Whitney's Wedding

My CUTE cousin Whitney got married on Friday at The Canyons Ski Resort in Park City. The setting was gorgeous and the weather was perfect! I am so happy for both Whitney and her husband Jayme.

Since the wedding was in Park City we stayed at our family cabin near by. We enjoyed the cool weather, relaxation, ping pong, and the moose! Stella loved the cabin also, as you can see from the picture below, she was worn out from all her exercise!

Stella....so TIRED!
