A little girls night


On Saturday I got to go hang out with some great ladies. Suz, Holls, Steph and I got to hang and get some dinner while the guys had an Ultimate Fighting Party, Yuck! These three girls all married my friends from high school. I just have to say.... Winston ,Mark, and Jeremy....... Thanks for marrying these great girls. I love that when we all got married our circle just grew. I had a great time, let's do it again soon. Anyone up to try Mediterranean?

Springs Preserve Saturday










I finally had the chance to go to the Springs Preserve and check it out. I roped in one of my friends, Stephanie, in to coming with me. It's quite the place. I couldn't believe how much there was to do. Luckily for us we had a great tour guide, Mckenzee. She had been there once before on a field trip. We spent oer half the day there. We will be going back as we didn't nearly see everything. However we did get to eat at the Wolf Gang Puck Cafe they have there, my dad met us for that. One of my Chef Instructors from school is now head chef there. It was funny to see him there with out his chef hat and even more funny because half the kids that went to school with me work for him.

These lizards were outside and the black one was registering at 130 degrees and the white one at 101.






We got there just in time to watch one of the care takers hand feed the lizards. The girls thought the was so cool. OK, Stephanie and I thought it was fascinating also (hee hee).


This nice man says he was trying to help Stephanie out by picking her wedge, but I think he just wanted to grab her butt.... HAHA
Thanks for going with me, it was fun to hang out!

Singing, singing all the day.............

Mckenzee had her first official Honor Choir Performance at Cheyenne High School for the Arts Festival. The choir sang 4 songs. One was one from Alice in wonderland. She was really nervous and she practiced all the way there. Kenz did such a great job and I am very proud of her.

Goodbye........


Kevin and I were soooo sad to watch the last episode of Rob and Big this week. It was begining to be my most favorite show. We were looking forward to this season. They are hillarious! We're still so sad about it. Funny, huh! Anyway if you haven't watched an episode, you should check out their site............ I have them linked under my favorites.

Easter

I can't believe how fast Easter came this year, I wasn't really prepared for it. We had such a busy weekend. We started our festivities on Saturday. My aunt Staci (Roberts side) invited the family over for Easter dinner. The food was excellent! The kids had an egg hunt and Mckenzee found the golden egg. She was really excited about that.

On Easter morning we went to Spencer and Michelle's house for brunch before church. Thanks for inviting us to spend time with your family Michelle. They are always fun to be around. There was a ton of food and it was all really good. When I married Kevin I gained a wonderful sister, Michelle, she is so thoughtful and Nichole and J are great too. Thanks for always thinking of me.

Easter Night was so crazy! I was supposed to feed the missionaries and then the next thing I knew the whole Brox clan was coming also. I made a huge dinner and the house was busting at the seams. Everyone seemed to have a great time, but I was so happy to see everyone go, by the end of the night I was EXHAUSTED! I am so glad that it only comes once a year.

Spring Break



During Spring Break Mckenzee and I did a couple of things to celebrate her break. On Monday we started out the day by getting some dunkin doughnuts. I had to work and Mckenzee went to help me. I was trying to make things fun while she was with me.




My mom came down and had lunch
with Mckenzee, My uncle, and me.



Then after runs we went to see Horton Hears A Who. It was so cute. I love Disney they always have great meanings to them and they usually have some adult humor.


When we 1st arrived



Tuesday we decided that we would go and feed ducks. We went to DesertShores. I have never seen so many hungry birds in my life. As soon as you stop the car and get out they are coming out you. It wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for those disgusting pigeons. They were trying to fly by us. As we were walking away from the car the ducks were following and more were coming. We were a little to nervous so we decided to sit in the car, roll down the windows, and feed them from there. It was the best way to feed the mob.

Family Snow Day


On Saturday we went to Lee Canyon to play in the snow with some of our extended family. Of course Kevin was working so I drove up with my dad. Mckenzee had so much fun playing with her cousins. I haven't been near snow since we lived in Ohio. I am so thankful to live somewhere that gives us options. If we want to play in the snow or go somewhere cooler we have mountains and when we get to cold we head back for the warmth of the desert.
We brought our own lunch and ate together


Mckenzee loved going down the mountain on the sled, everytime she would go up higher than the time before.



We went to the lodge at Mt Charleston to get some hot chocolate. Being the animal lover that Mckenzee is, she had to have a picture by a horse that was there, and my uncle Tyler wanted his picture taken too.

I was Tagged

Thanks a lot Aryann. I am never good at these things but I am going to give it a try. This is a tag that is all about me.

Turning Back The Time.....10 years ago: Let's see............ I was a Senior at Cimmaron. I graduated in 98. I can't believe that was 10 years ago. OK moving on......... I was a mother to a beautiful baby girl and I knew everything........Boy was I wrong! I had a great family that supported me through a lot of rough times and for that I am truly grateful.

5 Things On My To Do List Today: 1. Wow do I really need to clean my house. 2. Kevin and I are taking my dad to dinner for all you can eat crab legs at the Green Valley Ranch. 3. Go To Work. 4. Laundry 5. Go through the mail.

Snacks that I enjoy: I love Hummus and Nann Bread. I enjoy eating yogurt, no matter what time of day, and if I don't have yogurt I will have a bowl of cereal. A bagel with butter and cream cheese. Chocolate with caramel filling. Bananas with Reddi Whip.

What Would I Do If I Were Suddenly A Billionaire: A billion is a ton of money. I think I would 1st invest a couple million so I could make more on that billion but before that I would most likely pay my tithes. Then I would pay off all of my family's mortgages. I would pay off all my debt and build our dream home. I would buy Kevin that Dream car, BMW 760 loaded, because he works so dang hard and deserves it! I would find a charity that helps underprivileged children and donate tons to them. I am sure there is more I would do like have many girls days with shopping sprees and pedies, but I will stop here.

3 Bad Habits: 1. I bite my nails when I am nervous, mad, sad, bored, etc.. 2. I Procrastinate but I am getting better. 3. When I am stressed and under pressure I don't clean anything.

5 Places I have Lived: 1. Vegas Baby 2. Grove City, OH or as my friend Jenny would say, Grovetucky 3. North Las Vegas

I didn't quit make it to five but I have moved around Vegas quit a bit. Since I have been married I have had 4 addresses.

5 Jobs I have had: My very 1st job was at Payless Pharmacy. 2. I worked as a runner for the law firm my mom works at.......... at that time it was called Dixon, Truman, and Truman. 3. RH Donnelley (the Sprint Yellow Pages) this was one of my very favorites. 4. Dr. Douglas Prince's office, if you are looking for a GREAT DENTIST he is your man. 5. Ice Dessert Boutique, Chef Patrice makes the best Ice cream ever. He is now selling at Whole Foods and Wild Oats in Summerlin. You have got to try it!

Things People Don't Know About Me: I hardly ever put my shoes away. Sometimes I will have 3 pairs of shoes down stairs or more. No matter how many times my dad threw my shoes away when I was younger or hide them from me, I still don't put them away. You think I would have learned. I can not stand the sound of people smacking their lips and chopping food, it drives me up the wall. Really there is a lot of noises that drive me crazy but that is for sure No. 1. I am very negative about my appearance, I will always find something wrong! I hate Musicals or Theater. I giggle when I am nervous. I am kind of paranoid.......... I tend to contemplate what I would do if someone broke in all the time, where will I hide, what will I beat them with, if they cause harm to me what will I do, etc. Reality is I will probably be to scared to move. I love watching Rob and Big and just recently Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood...........Weird, I know. I love being by family but I really miss Ohio! I absolutely love being a mom and I loved being pregnant and would love to be again!



I tag .................................. Candice, Kimmy and whoever else may want to share a little part of them.

They Caught Me

Well last week I was given a calling at church as being on the Enrichment Committee. I thought I was doing pretty good staying under the radar but I was caught! DANG! It has actually been better then I thought. I really didn't know what to expect. I didn't know to many people, but I have meet a ton of fabulous women in my ward. It's finally felt good to be at church. Anyhow I was a mad woman this week trying to get all the things done that was needed for our Enrichment Night. It turned out really cute. Our colors were Pink and Brown........ My fav so I made a cake and thought I would share..........


This is the cake with the replacement bow.




This is the fondant bow that I made and it broke before I could show everyone.
