05/17/08 Craft Day!

On Saturday I had a craft day with some of my friends. Everyone brought their own projects to work on . There was scrapbooking, card making, painting, and Mod Podging wood letters. They were all really cute. I Mod Podged "JULY". Now I can't wait for the 4th! Thanks for coming everyone!

05/11/08 Mother's Day

On Mother's Day I sent this message to my family:

I just wanted to remind us all that Mom loves us and misses us and wants us to be happy until we see her again. Attached is a picture of Mom and some voice clips from her phone message. That's the only recording of her voice that I have. I thought you'd like to have it too. I miss her so much and think about her all of the time. In my journal everyday I've been writing a memory or something about Mom's life. It's helped me to feel closer to her, and it'll be nice for future generations to know what a wonderful person she is. I love you all so much! VoNique

~ Happy Mother's Day, Mom ~

05/10/08 Lindsey's Baby Shower

My friend Lindsey had her baby shower! It was really cute. There were fun games, great food, and she got a lot of cute presents. Look at the cute cat and blanket that Wendy made!

Idaho

05/02/08 We drove up to our friend Trevor's wedding reception in Idaho. He used to work for Jared. We had a good time. We stayed two nights at Dan & Nicole's house! (Our friend's that moved to Meridian, ID last year.) It was nice to catch up with them. We had a lot of fun. We relaxed and played some games on their Wii and Nicole and I made cute bracelets.

On Saturday we went for a hike up to Flat Rock in Boise. It was maybe 4 miles round trip? Maybe less. We at our lunch ate the top and checked out the amazing view. We had a lot of fun! (Thanks again Goggins!) On Sunday we drove directly from Idaho to our friend's baby blessing in Lehi, UT. The Mile's baby is really cute. It was another busy weekend!

You gotta love the picture of Jared hangin' off the cliff all Indiana Jones style. He was standing by the cliff, I turn around for a second and then he's hanging there! He thinks he's so funny! (Don't worry there was a ledge he was standing on.)

Kittens need a home

Remember my sister's cute little kittens I posted pictures of before? Well they need new homes. As much as VeNicia loves them, six cats are just too much work! Aren't they cute!?!

04/27/08 Happy 6th Anniversary to Us!

Jared and I recently celebrated our 6 year anniversary! We spent all day together. That was the best part = ). We started the day by having him kick my butt at tennis. Then we went shopping together. We like to go along with the "traditional" gift themes. Six years is your Iron/Candy anniversary. We ended up getting a cute iron trivet and then each picked out some candy to smuggle into the movie theater. I also enlarged one of my favorite wedding pictures and framed our marriage certificate. While we were at the mall we got our picture take in one of those booths (We've been doing that every anniversary and keeping the pictures in a book). We ate at Chili's (one of my favorites) and then saw "Fool's Gold". I thought it was cute. Jared likes to call it "How to Lose a Fool's Sahara in 10 Days" or something like that (since Mathew Macanawhoy, or whatever his last name is, and Kate Hudson have been in so many movies together). Anywho...it was a wonderful day! I'm so lucky to have such a great husband!

04/23/08 Jenn's Shower

My friend Jenn is having a baby boy (Collin) next month! Jared thinks his middle name should be ("All Cars", or "Card", or "It quits", you get the idea. Oh Jared.) I went to her shower a few weeks ago. It was fun! She got a lot of cute stuff. Especially the blanket Elisa made for her! See how she quilted his name into it? (If you double click on the picture it should enlarge it.)

4/18/08 AZ Wedding

(All this catching up and I'm still a month behind!) We went to one of Jared's old high school friend's wedding in Phoenix, AZ. We left Thursday after work and drove as far as Cedar City where we stayed the night at Jared's brother Rob's house. It was fun to see his family, even for just a quick visit. In the morning we headed on to AZ, checked in to our hotel and went to the reception. It was nice. Great food, but I wasn't able to fully enjoy it because my teeth were still killing me from going to the dentist the week before. Sad = ( Then we drove home the next day. It was a quick but fun trip!

4/11/08 Brad's Birthday @ Boondocks

We met up with VeNicia, Brad (birthday boy...ok man) and Christine, and some of their friends at Boondocks. That place is pretty cool. It has all kinds of stuff to do...batting cages, laser tag, mini-golf, and...Go Karts! I beat everyone on the track, it was awesome! (Does it matter that I started first?)

04/05/08 The Goggins!

Our friends Dan and Nicole Goggins that moved away last year came to vist. We had a big breakfast before Conference and chatted. It was good to see them even though it was such a short visit. We miss you guys!

Gordon's Family!

At the beginning of April my brother Gordon and his family came to visit! Jared and I were able to spend a whole day with them and go to different museums on BYU campus. We went to an art museum, to the museum that has all of the stuffed animals, and the Planetarium. It was a lot of fun. I took them on a tour through my work. We spent some time at my brother Barry's house. We had a lot of fun all week!

03/30/08 Nathan's Baby Blessing

Yes, this event acutally happend on March 30th and it is now May 16. But I still found it post worthy. Jared's brother, Aaron, and his wife, Jamie, had a cute little baby boy. We were able to go to his blessing in Rexburg, ID. We had fun spending time with them. Congratulations!

Catch up Time!

K, I'm super behind, so I'll summarize the latest in my next few posts. We'll see how far I can get.

More RockBand fun:

Well, I didn't get very far...I'll try again another time!
