Marco Island, Florida

My amazing and sexy hubby made his company’s Presidents Club and we were able to spend all of last week relaxing in Marco Island, FL (on the company). Heck yeah! We arrived last Monday night and knew that we were going to have bad weather all week with the exception of Tuesday. On Tuesday we drove into Tampa and went to Bush Gardens. We rode on some of the biggest roller coasters ever! Busch Gardens is definitely the best and cleanest amusement part that I have been to. On Wednesday we went to the Everglades and went on an air boat excursion. It ride was so load that we had to wear giant ear plugs. We were able to get sooo close to giant alligators. It was a great and scary experience. The rest of the week was poring sexy rain. We had some delicious dinners and were able to relax. At one of the dinners, they had a cartoonist that drew the funniest picture of us. I had such a great time with Jordy! He had me laughing so hard all week! I am SO proud of you babe and am so lucky to be your wifey!!

Which Disney Princess are you???

You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)

Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Stein Eriksen Lodge

Every year during conference weekend, my father’s side of the family makes a trip to the Stein Erikson Lodge.  The lodge was amazing as usual, and the scenery this year was absolutely spectacular!!! The weather was very sexy, it was cold, rainy, and even a bit of snow.  We all journeyed up there on Friday night, even BJ, Andrew, and Bennet (Jordy’s brother, and nephews) made a brief swimming trip.  The weekend consisted of relaxing, swimming, pool football for the fella’s,  chilling at the spa for the women (and the womanly men),  shopping at the outlets, watching movies, bubble baths, eating at Café,  and having conference in the background, while us women caught up on all of our gossip.  As usual it was a wonderful weekend, and we can’t wait for next year!

6-0 BABY!!!!

SYTYCD

Last Tuesday night So You Think You Can Dance came to SLC. We of course had to go being such huge fans! The night started off with some delicious soup, salad, and breadsticks from Olive Garden. We then drove out to the E Center where the concert was held. The concert was unbelievable! They performed most of their popular dances from the show. They looked so much better in person than on TV. It was definitely worth it and such a fun night!

Jordy and I celebrated our 2 year Anniversary over the weekend (September 20th). It all started on Friday night when Jordy told me to pack an overnight bag right before we were about to leave for a fun event ( he he for those of you who know what our event was). After our event, Jordy took me to Brookside Broiler in Sugar House (one of my favorite restaurants). Dinner was yummy! After dinner we drove up to Park City and ended up staying at the Park City resort right next to the Alpine Slide. The hotel was amazing and we had so much fun in their hot tubs. This hotel has over 7 hot tubs that have water falls that connect them all. Saturday morning we went and got some breakfast and went on a beautiful drive. The leaves are my favorite right now. I love it when there are still green leaves with bright red patches. After our drive we went to the outlets and did some major damage. I usually can never find anything at the outlets and for some reason I loved everything. Darn Guess store!!! Saturday night Jordy surprised me (again) and took me to Ruth's Chris (my most favorite place). Dinner was delicious, even though I always order their chicken and get crap for it. We had such a wonderful weekend together!

I'm married to the greatest man! Jordy makes me so happy! I love him more than words can say! Thanks babe for such an amazing Anniversary!

What a Cabin!!!

This past weekend Wade and Amanda and their darling daughter Kamree Zoll invited us to their INCREDIBLE cabin (or should I say mansion in the woods). We left on Friday and sadly came home on Sunday. We met some great new friends Kade, Kara, and their darling son Daegan. We all had a great time. Friday night we watched our hubby’s (and Kara) almost kill themselves as you can see in the video and just talked and played into the wee hours of the night. Saturday morning we woke up to Amanda cooking the most delicious pancake breakfast. Thanks Amanda! Our hubby’s then discovered a bow and arrow and decided to use Amanda’s hair school head for a target. It was hilarious to see them try to pull back the arrow after a few times. That thing is sooo dang hard to do. Dusty got a little frustrated as you can tell. J We then decided to explore and go on an exciting four wheeler ride while stopping to do some shooting. Ahhh!! Scary, but it ended up being so much fun! The rest of the time was spent watching the awesome Utah game, watching a movie in their unbelievable theater, eating treats and having a great time!

Thank you soooo much Wade and Amanda for the best weekend ever! XOXO

Wahoo!!!

Jordy and his buddy's had a genius idea to tube the Provo Canyon River a few weeks ago. It was so much fun! The journey began when Brandon loaded up all of the tubs in the back of his truck once we reached the canyon. Pete had the biggest tube and they were all strapped down but for some reason his flew off and went rolling down the highway. It was so scary and luckily no cars hit it. Once we got to the river, we were trying to decide on where to start. We tried to get to the highest point so that we could tube for longer. We ended up hiking down the steepest hill and landed on the rail road tracks, just right after the train had passed. It was quite the adventure so far... Meghan and I decided to share a tube so that we could slut it up together in our bikinis (feeling like we needed to rebel with being in Happy Valley). The water was freezing but it was so much fun!! Poor Wade had a few falls and his leg got all cut up and he had a huge bump on his leg (size of a softball) from hitting a rock. But don't worry, he is okay. All in all, we all had such a blast together and I don't think I have ever laughed so hard!!!

Jordy and Brandon being the hotties that they are...

Cabin Fun!!

A few weekends ago some of my cousins and aunts on my mamma bear's side of the family got together and decided to spend the night at our cabin. There is this darling diner that just opened up in Oakley where some of us ate before heading up to Thousand Peaks Ranch (where our cabin is). We just hung out all night and ate delicious treats and had girl talk. The next morning we hiked to Yellow Lake and explored. It was so nice to be able to spend time with my mom's side of the family. They are all such sweethearts and we had a blast together!

Congrats to Lou and Dave!!!

Some of our bestest friends Lou and Dave were married on July 31st on the sexiest beach on Kauai during sunrise. They returned back to SLC on Saturday and had their wedding dinner on Sunday at Tiburon. Lou and Dave looked so great and happy! Their dinner was amazing! That was my first time eating at Tiburon and their food was delicious!

Lou wore the most fantastic dress for their dinner. I wish I had a picture to show her hot body and the entire dress. Her wedding dress was so perfect for a beach wedding too! Thanks Lou for having us be apart of your dinner and for being such a great friend! Love you

Oh, it's a backyard.

After living in our house for nearly two years, we discovered that the small patch of weeds (now dirt) behind our house is actually considered a backyard. Additionally the HOA wants us to do something to make it look presentable. Having completely ignored the yard (front & back) since moving in, Nat and I finally decided to take a little pride in our yard, and have been working (sort of) to make it more presentable. We had the idea of building a “white trash Stonehenge” with old cars, which the neighbors would no doubt appreciate. We were very dissapointed when the news reported today that a redneck in Hooper, Utah stole our idea.

Once we recovered from our brief moment of depression, we came up with a new game plan for the back yard... a ditch. I began digging the ditch around 4:30 pm. It turns out that our backyard actually turns into hell around 4:30, and the temperature adjusts accordingly. I had prepared myself a nice tall glass of ice water. Unfortunately, my glass of ice water was very good at collecting all the of dust I stirred up. On top of that two wolf spiders found my water and decided to have a pool party in it. I had only been in the back yard (hell) for 30 minutes, my clothes were saturated in sweat, I had a few blisters on my hands, as well as a dirty cup of ice water with spiders swimming in it. Because I did not want to dig the ditch anymore, I decided that all of these things were a sign that I needed to go inside and relax for the night, and that is exactly what I did.

Nat came home shortly after and, after seeing my sweaty pathetic self lying on the floor, promised that she would finish the ditch. My mind immediately began playing the images of Nat swinging the pick and shoveling out the rocky dirt... and I laughed. Nat, being the truly wonderful person she is, did not get mad, but rather found motivation in my doubt. She went upstairs, changed her clothes, grabbed the tools, finished the ditch, and looked ridiculously hot doing it! Do I feel like less of a man because my wife showed me up? Not at all, I think it makes Nat look like more of a man. I love my manly woman! Thanks Babe!

My original intention was to post the picture of Nat working in the backyard. It turned into a very long and absurdly stupid story about how she ended up there. I apologize to everyone who wasted their time reading this.

What a wedding!!!

My sweet Heather married her sweetheart Jeff yesterday. It was such a beautiful day and Heather looked absolutely stunning! They got married up at Log Haven and the weather was perfect! I was so excited to be apart of her special day and walk down the aisle (something I have always wanted to do). Right when preacher announced them husband and wife and they kissed, Heather had tons of doves fly around and they swirled around and flew back to Hogle Zoo. It was amazing! Dinner was fantastic (especially the rolls) and her cake was yummy. For those of you, who know me well; know that wedding cake is my favorite. We then danced the night away! Congrats to Heather and Jeff! Your wedding day was PERFECT!
