High School Friends

This past Saturday I got together with some of my best friends from high school. A few of us still hangout but it has been years since we have all been in the same state together. It was so much fun to reminisce and catch up on everything. It's kinda strange that we all look pretty close to the same as we did in high school. We must be aging very gracefully :)

Amber, Me, Christine, Katie, Katie, and Bekah

Here we are just goofing around. It totally reminds me of how silly we used to be. Christine is talking to a baby on the floor but it totally looks like she is having labor pains. Haha!

Phillip in the Future

I've had a lot of people ask me, "What is Phillip going to look like when he is all grown up?" I have tried to explain it but a picture is better than anything.

Below is a current picture of me and Phillip. I know, he is the cutest dog ever!!!

Here is a couple stock photos of an adult Cavalier. I definately think Phillip will be more handsome cause nobody is as cute as Phillip!

But this is the best example, I think, of what he will look like. Lady! on Lady and the Tramp. If you haven't seen this famous Disney movie then shame on you! Go to your grandma's house and watch it. (I'm assuming that all grandma's own every Disney movie!) I love my puppy and I am so excited to see him grow into a handsome dog!

Up The Canyon

This past weekend we decided to go up to the local east millcreek canyon and roast some hot dogs. A few family members met us up there and we celebrated our birthdays. My birthday was the 28th and Jake's was the 29th so we like to celebrate them together.

Everyone getting prepared for the roasting of dogs :)

I look like I am so excited to eat, haha!

Taylor, Kaitlyn, and Cameron being silly.

Angela, Phillip, and I trying to stay warm by the fire.

Oh, how sweet.

Sisters: Dianne, Sharlene, and Marianne.

Cousins having a blast, Hailey, Brian, and Erin.

Happy Birthday Jake! I love you and I am so excited to spend forever with you!

St. George Retreat

So I know that I am posting this a month late. I guess my blogging juices haven't been flowing lately, but I have to tell you about my St. George Retreat with my mom over the Labor Day Weekend.

Mom and I decided we needed a trip for just the two of us, so we traversed down to St. George to have a fun relaxing weekend.

We hiked, went to a show at Tuachan, got Pedicures, and most important we just relaxed!

Here we are in Snow Canyon. Taking pictures with just us two was kinda hard so there was a lot of reaching or just taking individual pictures of each other.

I had to take a picture of the best breakfast restaurant ever!! 'The Egg and I'

At the top of the Dunes in Snow Canyon, "Namaste!"

I have the cutest mom ever!

The view down snow canyon

On Saturday night we went to see the show "Crazy For You" at Tuacahn Amphitheatre. It was so fun! There was a lot of Gershwin music and tap dancing, oh and I can't forget the fireworks at the end!


We then got pedicures at the BEST Spa resort in St. George. Red Mountain Resort is an all inclusive wellness/weight loss center but they do allow public into their spa. It was awesome!



I had to have my pictures taken in front of this statue, It was right in the middle of a round-about but I thought it was so beautiful!!! Again, we were alone so we have our own pictures. :)

This trip was so much fun, and very relaxing. We even had enough time to lay at the pool and get a run in around the temple. Thanks mom for going on this trip with me! Let's do it again next year. Love you!!

My Sweet Puppy :)

This one is my favorite.

Ok, I promise next time I'll post more than just my adorable puppy!

My Puppy, Prince Phillip

I came home today to this sweet little puppy! Jake got him for me while I was out with some friends. He is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, his name is Phillip, for Prince Phillip in Sleeping Beauty, and he is only 8 weeks old.

Jake and his little brother Nick doorbell ditched my back door. When I answered the door this sweet face was looking up at me! When I saw him all I could do was cry because I was so happy! I know he will be alot of work but it will be well worth it.

He is the sweetest most lovable puppy I have ever met! I can't believe he is mine!

Yellowstone Rocks!

Jake and I just got back from visiting Yellowstone with his Dad, and siblings. We had so much fun! We rented a cabin and stayed up there for the weekend. It was so nice to be in the great outdoors, watch wildlife, and be with those you love.

The car ride up

Nick was really bored but he was a good trooper.

There she blows!!!

Biscuit Basin: Angela, Dad, and Abbey. The pools behind them look so inviting but you don't want to jump in them. They would burn you instantly, Yikes!

There were hot pots everywhere. You had to be careful where you stood. Always stay on the trail!

I love Mammoth Hot Springs.

The wildflowers were beautiful.

We saw a ton of wildlife. Here are some pictures of some of them:

Buffalo,

Elk,

Bear,

and the crazy girls: Abbey and Stephanie. Watch out! They are extemely dangerous.



This is probably my favorite land mark of Yellowstone, called, The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

I had such a blast! I hope we can do it again next year!
