We're Back!!!

yes, it's been a while i know! So much has happend so i guess i'll start from where i left off. The begining of August I started my first clinical rotation at Casa Grande Regional Medical Center...I know right??? But I absolutely loved it and the people that i got to work with! I got to see/do so many interesting things. I only experienced one code. In fact the man arrived in the ER 15 minutes afters I got in an argument with Sky on the phone about how i didn't want him to get a motorcycle. Well... The man brought in was in a motorcycle accident (sign from God?? I thought so, Sky not so much) Anyways, we tried to revive him but he didn't make it...
I also got very sick for a week during my clinicals, i went back too soon, over did it, passed out, and bought myself a room in the ER... SO embarassing!! But i learned so much and now i'm back in school until February when i'll go back out to clinicals again.

Next new thing that happend (most exciting) I BECAME AN AUNT!!!! on September 4 little peyton was born! But i didn't get to meet her until the end of October.

Sky got a motorcycle....


October we went up to Salt Lake for Dream Weekend and i finally got to meet my precious little niece who is gorgeous!!! I love her so much! She is the best little baby who just smiles all the time! It was so much fun. I also must mention that Sky spoke at the function Friday night and gave the most incredible talk, i was So proud of him!






Just last weekend we went to the Dunes with Mema, Bapa, Carson, and Tate. This was Sky's first experience and he was like a kid in a candy shop! We couldn't get him off the quads! I was so nervous for him but he made it out alive!! The weekend was so fun and crazy! Carson crashed and flipped the quad on his leg (don't worry he's fine) Mema almost got arrested at the US/Mexican border! My little bug only got stuck one time! and then the car ride home with me, sky, carson, and tate smushed into my tiny little car..That was quite the adventure!




The boys smashed in my car! Carson, i guess, was especially excited!

And then Monday Me and Sky celebrated our 2 year anniversary!!!! wahoo!
Well thats pretty much everything! Life is great!!!
Sky's gonna kill me for this one but I just Love it!

My Two Boys all sprawled out sleeping!

Teambuilders Family Reunion!

This weekend was the Major Function Family Reunion!!! I especially LOVE Family Reunion because it was 6 years ago at the Teambuilders Reunion that Sky and I first met... woo woo! This year it was at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort and it was SO AWESOME!! Jesterz Comedy Club was our entertainment and they were so hilarious! Joe Victor was the guest speaker and he was phenomenol! This weekend focused alot on celebrating the 50 year anniversary of AMYWAY and just how awesome it is that we live in America where we have the freedom to live our dreams if we so choose!! It was so fun seeing how things have changed and even more fun looking at all the old pictures of the leaders hairdo's and clothes! The company has come along way and it continues to get better and better ever year and it is super exciting! Sky and I are so excited for our future! I love him so much he's a winner and the best husband and I am so proud of him and so proud to be his wife!!! We had a great weekend and we can't wait until October for DREAM WEEKEND!!!

Adventure

Last weekend really started when me and Sky went to drop Magnum off at my Mom's so she could watch him for the weekend while we were camping. For those of you that don't know, Magnum is unpredictable around other dogs (example: Freaking out in Pets Mart barking at another dog and making me fall FLAT on my face in front of everyone... and sometimes he's fine, so we never know with him). Anyways, my mom has this dog thats half the size of Magnum. He's a really good dog and very well behaved. SOO I went into the house first to hold my Mom's dog and Sky brought Magnum in on the leash.... Well my Mom's dog FLIPPED at Magnum and went straight for his throat and latched on!!! Sky grabbed the dog by the collar and was holding him up in the air but he wouldn't let go of Magnum. The dog started shaking his head back and forth trying to rip apart Magnum. I was holding Magnum's head still so he wouldn't try to move and I also had both of my hands in the other dog's mouth trying to seperate his jaw. Nope he wasn't budging. All this time I am SCREAMING, bloody murder screaming, HELP, and I was bawling hysteracally.(this is all going on outside my mom's front door)I'm hitting the other dog in the face and grabbing at his eyeballs...I was frantic ok... FINALLY my brother came out and puched the dog square in the face and he let go of Magnum. Long story but I ended up with a black, puffy lip and Sky had bites and cuts all on his hands. Even though it was finally over, I couldn't calm down. It was like watching my own child being attacked by a dog. Most intense, scariest moment of my whole entire life. Magnum was fine, He has some cuts and scabs on his neck, but luckily the other dog only got a mouthful of Magnum's hair.

He's NOT photogenic! He hates the camera but I love him sooo much!!

So I was still sick to my stomache but we finally left for camping! And it was so much fun! Sky especially loves to explore the outdoors, yes like a little child...

This is the first camping trip in a looooong time where all the grandkids were there together at the same time!!! So of course we went to the giraffe tree and that was quite the experience.. since 4 of us have spouses now we had to really scrunch together. It took a little bit of time to get situated and well Sky is so antsy so yeah that was fun..oh and part of that crazy experience involved Tyson eating an earth worm for $20 and Carson eating one well just because...



We went on a lot of rides and we did go to the water caves again which was really fun but I'm too scared to go crawling throughout the whole thing so i only go in a little bit.


My Bapa





We had such a great time we didn't want to leave, but i was so glad to get home to Magnum. I was worrying about him the whole weekend. My mom kept the other dog in the laundry room but I was still nervous that something would happen. Anyways everthing was fine and We had a great time with my family!!! Can't wait til next camping trip!

NO WORK WEEKEND!!!!!!!!

Our fun weekend started out with Transformers friday night at the IMAX. It was pretty good definitely not as bad as everyone made it sound... however the IMAX did make me a little dizzy. Saturday we woke up and went swimming!! It was such a HOT day and the pool felt amazing. But we got absolutely FRIED (sky alot more than me). Saturday night we went to TOBY KEITHS with some friends! SO FUN! if you haven't been there yet you for sure need to check it out.


Sleeping just sucked that night... our burnt bodies hurt so bad! Then today we went to the Wildlife Zoo & Aquarium! It was really fun, you get to be so close to the animals....even the scary ones!


There are peacocks just walking around everywhere, So pretty!

Sky with the Flamingos

Me with the Zebras in the background

The kangaroo walkabout was one of my most favorite ones. The Kangaroos just bounce all around you! It was insane!!!! They even had little babies in their pouches! I tried to feed them...



Is that not the cutest thing you ever seen!!!


The Aquarium was pretty dang cool! So many crazy Sea Creatures, I love it! We got to touch some weird ones and they also had a stingray feeding pool where you get to pet the big stingrays!


It was so much fun. I think Sky was a little embarassed by me because i was talking to all the animals, especially the monkeys and Tigers!

We then topped off the perfect weekend with El Charro, YUM!
I should have spent this weekend catching up on homework and studying but It's soooo rare for me to get the weekends off of work so I wanted to have fun! I loved spending it with my baby!

Last month Sky talked to me about changing our cell phone plan because he thought we were going to start going over our mintues... I assured him that we don't EVER come close to using all of our minutes each month, so we'd be fine. Sure enough, I open the mail today to find a lovely $400.00 Verizon bill! Awesome.... BUT, I'm not even mad about it!! shocking i know! But this just shows that my wonderful, sexy husband has just been cranking with our business! I am so proud of him and want him to know how much i love and support him! He really has been working so hard! He's a winner and he's my best friend and i can't wait for the exciting things the future has in store for us! However, I do agree NOW that we should change our cell plan because, although i'm taking this suprisingly well, I'm not about to make this a monthly habit.!

This past weekend Sky and I were able to travel to Canada to attend our sweet Nana's funeral.(Nana is Sky's mom's, mom) The service was absolutely beautiful and Sky gave the most amazing talk. I was so proud of him. After the funeral we all drove into Waterton, Nana's favorite place to be, and it was so beautiful with soo much snow! The weekend was bitter/sweet for us. We said goodbye to Nana, but we got to spend time with alot of our family that we don't get to see very often. We will miss Nana and her silliness very much but we're so grateful to know that she is in a better place and that we will be with her again someday.


There were soooo many pink roses!


Sky and Leah


Sorry I get a little picture crazy when i'm in Canada because it's just so gorgeous!


Me with Brittany/mom to be!!! Can't wait for baby girl in August!!!!!



Yes, there was snow all the way up to the roof of the cabin.... in May!!! so crazy!

Easter

We had a great Easter this year teaching a primary class full of off the wall 4 year olds, watching the masters, spending time with family, eating lots of yummy food, and most importantly, celebrating the resurrection of Christ and all he did for us. Sky and I were able to take some flowers to my dad's grave. I think loosing someone you love makes you appreciate the true meaning of Easter more. I am so grateful that our Savior sacrificed so much for us so that we can return again to Him. And I'm so grateful to know that I will be with my dad again someday. We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and know that we love you!
