Love

I just have to say how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE being married. On top of being spoiled rotten and taken care of constantly Ricky is always there for me. Last night I had a bad dream and after I woke up from it I couldn't fall back asleep. I laid there for a while and then I woke Ricky up and asked him to hold me. No hesitations or grumblings came from him he instantly said yes and turned over and cuddle up behind me. He is a sweet heart and I love him to death.

Ensenada, Mexico

Ricky and I went to Disneyland last year with Justin and Laurie and had an absolute blast. So when they talked about going somewhere this year I automatically said yes. We ended up picking a cruise to Mexico and again we had a fabulous trip. We shopped, ate, layed out, ate, played games, ate, went to shows, ate, and got to see some pretty amazing karaoke singers, and then ate some more. We probably gained ten pounds while we were there but how can you resist the buffets?

This is us getting ready to leave. Can you tell how excited we are.

Out on one of the many decks they had. It seemed the longer we were there the more secret places we found. We stumbled upon many good places to lay out.

The grand stair case. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Laurie and I in Ensenada. They have hats of every kind and we tried almost all of them on.

Love the pink!

On almost every corner someone was selling little kid masks with capes attached. We tried to put batman and superman on in one store but the owner yelled at us and told us they were for children and to put them down so we went to another shop and found these beauties.

Down main street.

In Ensenada

My favorite was coming back to the room every night to see what animal was left on our bed. I forgot to take a picture of the seal we had but I got the others.

The last night we came back and found this seductive bunny laying on our pillow.

This is us on the plane home.

Ricky and I had such a good time. Although it was tough to leave we are getting some plans together for a future trip with the Vincents. Can't wait!

Horseback riding

Ricky's stepbrother came to visit from California in July. We went horseback riding at Sundance with the family. I have been horseback riding several times but never in the mountains. It is a completely different experience from trails. It was a nice escape from the hot weather and the scenery was beautiful.

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken for my dad's birthday. My cousin Amanda did such a wonderful job. These are just a few.






My sister Malena and her husband Kevin.

My brother Steven and his fiance Misty.

My sister Alyssa and her husband Boone.

We had a good time romping through my aunt's cow pastuer to get these pictures. A big thanks to Amanda for taking so many great photos. I can't wait to get them hung up in my house.

Car windows? What's next

Last night as Ricky and I were driving home Lucy decided she wanted to stick her head out the window so she rolled it down all by herself. At first I thought Ricky had done it but then I realized she had done it. I was laughing hysterically. It's not like it is really hard to roll down the window all you have to do is push the button down. She was standing in the absolute right place and as soon as it got to where she wanted it she jumped up and stuck her head out. I guess it may have been one of those things you have to be there for. None the less I had a good chuckle.

Technology

I absolutely HATE technology today. The other day I sat down at the computer and did my random blog stalking and I was getting ready to add some new posts when I opened up our pictures on Ricky's laptop and to my surprise (not a good surprise but the kind like you take your car in for a routine oil change and they find 1500 dollars worth of repairs kind of surprise) there were no pictuers. All of our pictures are gone. And to make matters worse guess who had not backed them up yet? Yep that would be me. I was so upset I wanted to bawl. I called for Ricky to come look but he couldn't find them either. So all of our pictures from our honeymoon, Hawaii, Moab, California, and anything that we have taken pictures of for the last two years are gone. We had a brother-in-law take a look at the computer to see if he could find them but no luck. I am still tempted to take it to one more person and see if they can find them but I am told that they are probably a lost cause. I had to learn the hard way so hopefully I can serve as a good example of what not to do and everyone else will back up their pictures.

Summer lovin'

What better describes summer than bbq's? But how can you have a bbq without a grill? You can't, that's why we bought a grill. I was so excited. I have been wanting one for a long time and finally my whinning paid off. Since we bought it we have grilled probably 3-4 times a week. The best part about it is it makes clean up easy and Ricky loves to bbq so I don't have to do much for dinner. Now we just need to invite our friends over so they can enjoy it too.

Rainbows

One of the days when it was raining there was a beautiful rainbow. But not just one, two of them came out. It was so pretty.
