All you need is Love!

Well I was going to make a slide show of the california trip but then I decided that making one of "The Adventures of Matt and Nikki" would be way more exciting! And I was right... It was! :) 

I only have pictures from before his mission and then after on my computer right now. We have a ton of pictures from high school but I don't have a scanner... But oh well! This is plenty. 

Yay for LOVE!!

Good Ol' Californ-i-a!

Me and the fam just got home from Palm Springs on Sunday. It was a really long drive and the trip just wasn't long enough but we sure did have a blast... Everything from Crab Legs to Disneyland! I have a ton of pictures but since I'm a bit retarded with the whole blogging this still I'm not quite sure how to put a slide show together.. But I'll figure it out dont worry! 

We stayed in a condo in Indio that was super sweet... (Thanks becky)... the first day we got there we just hung out at the condo and swam a little bit then we went to dinner at the Crab Pot... YUMMY! It was a ton of food though... we even got to wear sweet bibs! :) 

We went to Disneyland the next day and it was just loads of fun! It's a little different when the youngest one is 15 but we still had fun... didn't we BRE! :) Bre and Ty were just so excited about disneyland, we told them we might not go and they both almost started crying! So we had to go... we didn't want to have to put up with the two grumps if we didn't! Now all of you that know me know that I dont usually do roller coasters! But I'll have you all know, I went on every single ride with the rest of the gang! I was pretty dang proud of myself! We also ate these massive corn dogs that were so dang good, but will probably haunt bre for the rest of her life! 

For our final event we took a tram up to the top of some 8500 ft mountain. It was so amazing! I'm not much of a hiker but it was a lot of fun! I'll try to get all the pictures up as soon as possible.. If anyone has any advice for me on how I might go about making a slide show I would be happy to hear it! :) 

Conference Weekend

Who doesn't love conference weekend?? Really... It's so nice to just be able to relax at home with family and listen to the wonderful talks... and sometimes sleep through the wonderful talks! :) I had a great weekend with Matty and and my family. My mom, Bre and I went to Red Robin while the boys were at Priesthood session. My mom is going to be so happy that I've posted this picture of her devouring her chocolate shake! haha 

After we ate we went and visited with Celiece and the babies... Baby Nixon is just adorable and Parker has got quite the little personality. Matt may have a little bit of competition! ;) All in all it was a fabulous weekend! I love the fall weather that is starting to set in... 

New room!

We finally finished the remodeling on the upstairs of our house, well the first half at least... Now they are working on the back.. but I got to move into my new room upstairs this last weekend. It's super cute and my closet is any girls dream closet! It was alot of work getting all the furniture in but after a few hours, a lot of laughs, and a few battle wounds we got it all in. Matt was in Vegas this weekend and we sure could have used his muscles but mom and I are pretty buff! So we handled it! haha... 

Although I am super excited to be in my new room, I am really not too happy with all the noise and scary men that are working in my backyard right now. I dont have blinds on my window yet but dont worry, I hung up a sheet to do the trick for now. I cant wait til the house is done and we dont have strangers walking in and out of the front door! It will be nice to have some privacy back... Hopefully it will all be done soon! Cross your fingers! 

September 20, 2008

5 years!! It was our anniversary on Saturday and Matt was so good to me! He came over in the morning when I woke up and made me breakfast, French Toast with fruit and eggs, bacon and sausage. Then he took me golfing... which was a blast! He won of course but we are both pretty equally bad! haha But we are going to be really good someday... it was only my 2nd time going. 

Then that night he cooked me the yummiest New York steak ever... As you can see in the picture he had the table all set with flower pedals and candles. Then we watched a movie and he cooked me an amazing dessert... He sure is an amazing cook! Thank you Matt! 

It was fun to finally be able to spend our "anniversary" together (it was our first date/kiss)... he hasn't been here for the last two! So it was alot of fun being together! 

Camping!!!!!

Matt went on  a four wheeler ride with Papa Don and he got to follow most of the time! So he got a pretty sweet mouthful of dirt!! :) 
Mmmm beverage! We are playing a game called colereta or something like that.. Matt and I dominated! Of course! 
Lolly and Nae playing cards!
Papa Don just relaxing and enjoying a nice cold Dr. Pepper! Gotta love getting away from Work and everything else to be with Family.
This past weekend I went with the Lovelace family up Spanish Fork canyon to go camping.. I didn't actually get to "camp" because I had to come back down for Sean's Birthday dinner... But I got to spend the day up there playing cards and fishing... It was alot of fun to get away and spend time with people I love! 

Dusk Til Dawn Volleyball Tourni

I played in what was supposed to be an all night doubles volleyball tourni... but apparently you have to keep winning to keep playing all night. My partner Christian and I made it to about 10 pm... haha We lost every game but we sure had a good time! At least we got a free T-shirt!! This picture is of Megan and I, Megan was partners with our friend Bear... they also made it til about 10... haha we will work on that I guess! We will get them next time team!! :)
