Easter & Brandon's B-day!

Brandon went home to Arizona last weekend to help his Mom out with cleaning out her garage, as well as to see some friends and family! I couldn't go because of work, but he had a great time visiting (minus having to sleep in the Denver airport overnight since he flies standby :/ )...

I got to go to my sister Aubree's house for Easter and spend some time with them:

Messy girl!

And here is Brandon with his nephew Brayden at Bass Pro Shops:





He came home & surprised me with his toes, he got a pedicure in AZ with his brother and her girlfriend but didn't tell me he copied the toenails of the lady giving him his pedicure. He took off his socks and said "Happy Easter!" and started wiggling them around saying "jellybeans!" haha that's pretty much why I married him, what a crazy.

Happy Easter!

Monday, April 25th was also Brandon's 27th BIRTHDAY!! it started off rough because he woke up in the Denver airport to catch a flight home at 8, which he luckily got on. We took the day off work to celebrate and we had a good time! We went to a pet shop we LOVE called Pets & Such. They have so many cool animals, like this guy:

He is a Mellers chameleon, basically one of the biggest chameleons in the world. You can't tell from the pic but he is huge, about the length of my forearm. Huge. We want to have 1 one day when we have a house, even though their size is terrifying they have a really nice temperament and don't mind being around people.

We also went to Cabelas, here's a pic of the birthday boy:




I have more on my camera I'll add later... We just hung out all day and then went to dinner at Red Robin where I had all his friends waiting as a surprise!

After that he and his friends played Zombies for, oh 3 hours? ;)





And then he opened presents!





The pics of them opened are on my camera... I got him a head lamp for camping, an hour massage, a Jiminy Glick DVD (look him up it's Hilarious), and some socks (and a wallet but we're returning that)... Also got him an amazing surprise activity, but we have to wait to do that until the weather gets better (hint hint).

Good job if you made it this far I know this was a long post!

Happy birthday to the love of my life!!

Thistle Creek

Thistle Creek used to be a little town in Spanish Fork canyon, but there was a landslide in 1982 that took out the precious little town of about 70 residents. Nobody died, but their whole town was underwater the next day. Brandon and I took a little drive there on Sunday (Brandon did some fishing, that's why he is wearing his waders that I think he looks SOO cute in :) ) And it was nuts to see the poor houses underwater! Also very creepy.

This one used to be a schoolhouse...

This was some shed in the middle of a pond, the essence of creepiness:

Can you spot the little house? Oh and we saw about 5-6 deer running up the hill to get away from us, NATURE! Goulet.

In the middle of a river we just saw this random green roof. Oh whoops your house is in the middle of a river, that sucks!

This house was up to it's front windows in water and it gave me chills to think about having to get in that water. It was so dark and mossy and gross! I'm getting chills right now just thinking about it. I'm pretty sure there's a giant mutant trout living in there, actually I'm almost positive.

Oh and I like to pretend I'm a photographer sometimes :)

Update in iPhone Pics

Here is what we have been up to in pics from my iPhone....

- We bought the Pass of all Passes for Utah County, so we get season passes to Seven Peaks, and admission to all Trafalgas. This lovely miniature Lincoln Memorial is at the Trafalga formerly known as Liberty Land. We're skeptical about how fun that will be because they said the roller coaster was waiting on "parts" till it could work, but there were no carts on the track. Waiting on actual carts for it you mean? Interesting...

-I learned how to do a fishtail braid! With the help of YouTube. Oh and I wear glasses for the next 3 weeks because I am getting LASIK on May 5th! (Shout out to my parents for the best Graduation gift a girl could ask for!)

-We joined the Cabelas card owner club! Pretty excited about it, and we got free hats.

-This is right by our new apartment, that's right the Provo River is in our backyard. We took a walk there the other day and almost witnessed a terrible forced 3-way when 2 boy ducks attacked a girl duck... don't worry she got away. :[ Other than that it's a super nice little trail, with a swing halfway down the trail in a tree. We foresee lots of tubing down this river in the summer...


Random update done! Check that off my list.
