Moab

We went to Moab this past weekend with Chris, Tiff & Saunta, Tara, Tyson & Tsye, Chris, Ralphy and Paul. They were a really fun group to be with; we had a blast together. We went biking Saturday and four-wheeling on Fins-n-Things Sunday.

There were four dogs with us, which definitely kept us all entertained.

Zig sat and watched anyone that was eating by the campfire and drooled all over them. haha

He is so weird, I just love him.

Please don't mind ALL the pics I took of Four-Wheeling..

...lets just say I love it.

This was in Green River. Yes, it is a watermelon on a trailer.

Michael devoured it.

What did we spend our REI dividend on this year you ask?

Booties for the boy in fact.

He is now twins with Ralphy.

All the other dogs stayed dry, but not Zig.

He jumps in every little water hole he sees.

At one point we stopped and saw all the dogs but Ziggy.

Michael and I both hopped on our bikes and back tracked to find him.

We called for him and finally heard his cry.

Michael found him off the side of the rock in a deep pot hole filled with water.

He was trying to get out, but it was so steep he couldn't.

I sure breathed a sigh of relief when I found he wasn't hurt.

This picture is another story in and of itself.

Michael decides to go up a huge boulder, but what does he do?

He took the steepest way up that there was.

After his truck was vertical, he couldn't go any farther forward because his back tires weren't even touching the ground. He is literally sitting on the hitch of his truck in these pics. And if he had've backed up, he would have bent the frame of his truck.

Needless to say I wasn't very happy with him, while everyone else is giving him kudos for even attempting it.

Luckily Chris had a winch on Black Beauty and was able to lift the truck to safety.

You might ask, what was the outcome of this bold move?

I will tell you... a pretty significant dent just above the back left tire.

Unfortunately, it will cost a pretty penny to fix but I think secretly Michael is proud of it.

Newport, CA.

We went to California over Spring Break with Michael's family. The trip was in celebration of Dave turning 60. It was a much needed trip; getting out of the cold, gloomy weather was so wonderful. We had so much fun with the family, especially at Disneyland with the little ones. I don't have any pics of us at Disneyland, but if you have access to Jessica's blog you should check them out. We went to the beach, swam at the pool, played Shanghai, went to Trader Joes, and enjoyed spending time with each other. Thanks again Paula and Dave for such a great trip, we had sooo much fun!

Everyone on their iphones playing scrabble... We are all addicted.

Seaweed models, aren't they handsome?

Our Anniversary

{ Reminiscing }

Pictures from our "honeymoon" in Costa Rica

Our "Two Year" Anniversary was on March 14, 2010. It happened to fall on a Sunday, so we decided to celebrate the night before. Michael cooked up some delicious Salmon and we exchanged gifts. Michael got me a bouquet of flowers and Tory Burch shoes that I've been dying to have. He's such a sweetie. I'm completely and utterly in love with this guy and the luckiest girl in the world to have him.

St. George icup

This past weekend we headed to St. George for the intermountain cup bike race. Michael had never done any of the icup races before, so he decided to sign up under "expert."

That's my boy :) As you can see in the pictures, Michael was the first to take off in his pack. He had three 6 mile loops to complete, but when he got to the top of the first one his ankle gave out.

Let's rewind back a few weeks when he was playing church ball and twisted his ankle. He tore several ligaments in his ankle, but decided to still attempt this race. Unfortunately, during the race his ankle did not cooperate and he had to drop out. He was not happy, but did not let it get to him for the rest of the weekend (surprisingly). He was such a good sport about it, but honestly, I was somewhat glad he couldn't finish {no offense, honey}. I prefer being a spectator at the Xterras; they are so much more exciting! After he took off on the bike, I stood around for a few minutes and realized it would be about 35 minutes before I'd even see him again, and at that, for just a few seconds. This is why I decided to head to the car and write a paper for one of my classes.

Needless to say our weekend didn't turn out quite liked we had hoped, but it was fun nonetheless. We grabbed some ice cream after the race, who can be upset eating Baskin Robbins? (by the way- Blue Bunny ice cream store in St. George is no longer in business... definitely my disappointment of the trip). It was nice to get outside and have the sun beating down, it was sooo wonderful!
