Weekend Recap

This past weekend we were pretty busy. Friday night my sister won some tickets for us on the radio to go to the Demolition Derby at the Fair. I had never been to a Demolition Derby before and I had such a great time. It's just like bumper cars in real life.
Then on Saturday my family went to Lava Hot Springs for the day. A lot of us had not been there before so we had a great time. We went to the natural hot springs, then to their big pool, then after that it was tubing down the river for us. That was my favorite part. Unfortunately, I did not get pictures of this part because I was too busy tubing. There has been talk of making this a yearly thing from now on.

I had to get the customary car picture on the way to Lava Hot Springs.
Cute little Marli just anxious to get into the water.
This was our group of girls that were there, aren't we so stunning??
Josh cannot take a "normal" picture to save his life. I sure love him and his HAIRY chest!!!
Then just before heading home, we stopped at a place called Fat Jack's for delicious burgers and fries.

Lagoon

We went to Lagoon for our work party yesterday. It was a perfect day to go it was overcast and only in the 80's. I am a little chicken when it comes to a lot of rides because I get motion sickness so this day was mostly for Josh. He had so much fun going on all the roller coasters. He did feel bad that I wasn't doing very much so he was determined to win me a prize from one of those game booths they have along the side. He chose to do a rope ladder type thing to win me a prize. He did it probably 5 times and he did it!! He won me a HUGE stuffed shark. It was super sweet. Needless to say, we had a fun day.

Baseball

Last night I got to do one of my favorite things ever!! I got to go to a baseball game. My little sister, Becky, won tickets on the radio and decided to take me. We had so much fun cheering for the Bees and singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. As you can tell from the pictures we get a little bit crazy. But it doesn't get much better than this!

American Idol Concert

Monday and Tuesday nights were the American Idol concerts in Salt Lake. I was fortunate enough to be able to go Monday night with my mom and all of my sister's. We had so much fun! Unfortunately the pictures I took that night didn't turn out so well. I was a little bit bummed about that. So my mom called me on Tuesday morning and told me she had gotten a pair of free tickets from her work and wanted to know if Josh and I wanted to go, I jumped at the chance. We had such a good time. We were sitting by a lot of older people that didn't really want to get into it but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. So I got to go to both nights of the concert and they were both fantastic!! Go ahead be jealous......

Quick Update

Just wanted to do a quick update on my sister Allie and her baby Zackary. Last week they had to transfer him to Primary Children's Hospital to do a surgery on his heart, one of the valves wasn't shutting on it's own. The sugery went great and he is now resting back at St. Mark's Hospital. He now only weighs 1lb. 5 oz. But the doctor's saying he is doing great and that he is such a trooper. He is so precious. I put a few pictures this time to kind of give an idea of how tiny he really is. The stuffed animal in the picture is a beenie baby size. The last picture I loved because he is sticking out his little tongue.

Sister and Baby

For any of you that know my sister Allie I just wanted to do a quick update on what is new with her and her baby. She is about 26 weeks along in her pregnancy and last week she was put on bed rest for high blood pressure. Monday she had to go back to the doctor for some results to see if she could go back to work. When she got to the doctor's on Monday immediately after the doctor saw the results he sent her to the hospital for extreme toxemia. They were hoping to wait at least 10 days before they had to take the baby out for both of their health. However after running a few more tests they realized they needed to get the baby out sooner. So yesterday they did a C-section and got the baby out. As of right now they are both doing okay. Her baby boy weighed 1lb. 11 oz. He is in NICU. So if you could all just keep them in your prayers it would be very much appreciated.

So to celebrate for our one year anniversary Josh and I decided to stay in town and just do some fun things around here to help save money. So Friday we went to Raging Waters for some water park fun. It was a lot of fun and so refreshing because it was a pretty warm day.
After that we went to dinner at Applebee's and then to see the movie Get Smart. (If you are looking for a funny movie, this is a great one) That pretty much sums up Friday.
Saturday we drove to Park City and stayed in the same hotel we stayed at last year on our wedding night. We did a lot of shopping and swimming. I think the best part about Park City was when we went to Olympic Park and rode their zipline. I was so scared at first. But it turned out to be a blast!!
For my gift Josh got me the new Stephanie Meyer book and he bought me an ice cream maker. So it was a great first year anniversary celebration.
