Good Luck Bro, We'll Miss You!

My brother Jeff and his family left today for Turkey for 3 years!! He is a JAG Officer in the Air National Guard and will be stationed in the military base in Turkey. I'm going to miss all of them so much but I know it is what he should be doing and I am so proud of him. I hope someday I could go visit him. Maybe I'll win the lottery and will be able to afford to go:)

Before Jeff left we had lunch at grandma's house on Monday. Here is a picture of all the cousins, even 1 week old Ava. The next time they will be all together they'll be a lot older :(

Bennett, Aubrey, Ava, Rylan, and Carter

3rd New Moon Trailer Leaked Out Early!!!

The 3rd New Moon trailer got leaked out early!!! It was going to come out at the MTV VMAs tonight but someone all ready posted it on youtube. It is over 2 mins long, it is amazing, and I love it! It is kind of a spoiler so if you want to be surprised, don't see it. This is by far the best trailer yet!

Enjoy!! and let me know what you think!

Baby Ava Is Here!

My oldest brother and his wife Jayme brought Ava into the world yesterday, September 7th at around 11:30am. She was a healthy 6lbs 8oz. They all ready have two kids (Bennett 4, and Carter will be 2 soon) but Ava is the first girl. She is all ready a princess, with her hot pink bow and her multiple girly pink presents we brought her. She's so beautiful and I'm so happy for her parents! We love you Ava! welcome to our family. (I'm sure your brothers will teach you the ropes!)

I love how tiny newborns are!

I love my little niece Ava. I will always be there for her, especially when her big brothers are teasing her. I have a lot of experience in that field and I can give her a few tips ;).

New Moon Movie Tickets

Yes, it's true!!! New Moon movie tickets are all ready on sale for opening night on November 20th! I was a little late in finding out. They were on sale at the beginning of the day yesterday but I didn't find out till last night and all the midnight showings were all ready sold out! So I had to do the next best thing, I got tickets at the 2:45am showing. I'm a little disappointed but I'll get over it.

Summit also came out with a new poster for New Moon with just Edward and Bella. I've been waiting for this one for a long time. I love it!

Here is the whole Volturi gang. This poster gets me so excited!

Also I had to post the newest photo of Rosalie in New Moon cause she looks so much better then she did in first Twilight movie. FYI I am dressing up as Rosalie for a special occasion coming up! :)

New Chapter in life

So I'm sure most of you know that I have helped create Namaste Med Spa for the past year and a half. It was an amazing experience and I have learned so much, from how to create a floor plan, make invoices, make orders, manage employees, to creating treatment protocols and pretty much run a spa.

I would never change it for the world but I am now redirecting my life. I feel that I have gotten all that I can out of Namaste and I am focusing more on trying to start a family and going back to school to finish getting my Art History degree.

I definitely will keep my foot in the spa industry. I'm teaching school Wednesday nights at Skinworks School of Advanced Skincare and I am planning on opening my own spa with-in the next 10 yrs or so. I wanted to thank all my family and friends for their love and support during this process of opening Namaste. I'm so proud of what I have created. I have discovered so much about myself and my abilities and I will take what I have learned with me in all of my endeavours.
Thanks again to all my family, friends, and clients. I am excited for the next chapter in my life and I am grateful for this experience I have had in creating Namaste Med Spa.

-Namaste

Cinderella Party Pictures

I promised pictures of the party and here they are! It was so much fun! The girls loved it and they were in shock that the real Cinderella came to the birthday party. Cinderella and the Birthday Girl, Mia. She is now 3 years old!

Cinderella and my niece Rylan. She never once mentioned that I was aunt Stephie. Thanks Rylan!


Cinderella and my niece Aubrey. She had no idea it was me. She really thought it was Cinderella :)



Cinderella and all of her little princess friends

The cute Cinderella Cake. This was the best princess party ever!

Don't miss the post below! There are pics from my Zion Narrows hike.

Belated Zion Narrows Pics

Two weeks ago Jake and I went down to Zion National Park with my mom and my uncle Mark. We hiked the Zion Narrows and it was a blast! It is our favorite hike and we try to do it once a year. The Narrows is a long hike and takes place mostly in the river. On both sides of the river are towering cliffs and beautiful wildlife. You can choose to hike the whole Narrows from top to bottom and it takes about 10 hrs, I have done that in the past, but this year we started at the bottom, went up a ways, and then came back down. I recommend this hike to everyone. It is such an exciting hike, and can cater to any one from an expert hiker to a novice.

Jake and I getting a little wet!

This is a beautiful spring that came straight down into the virgin river



My Mom and I

You have to use a hiking stick on this hike or you will fall in the water.

I can't wait till we do the hike again next year!
