The Zoo










I love the zoo. Ever since Mike and I got married I have asked and asked when we could go to the zoo. We finally went with Mike's family and it was so fun! Mike even got us a zoo pass so we can go whenever we want in the winter. We had so much fun! It was a very nice day which made it even better. The giraffe kept licking the pole.. what a weirdy! Haha! I liked the baby elephant and saw some baby lemurs which were super cute. I really enjoyed hanging out with the family and watching the kids have fun. Can't wait to go again!!

Nothing to Blog About

Well, I really don't have anything to blog about. A few minor things have happened since I blogged last. We got our garden planted!! A shout out to Travis in our ward. He came over and helped Mike multiple times to get a sweet sprinkling system for our garden going and to also till the garden and make the garden area bigger. This year we are planting: cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, banana peppers, red green and yellow bell peppers, jalapenos and anaheims. We also did some broccoli, zucchini, corn, cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, and lettuce. We are also gong to do some onion and I am growing cilantro and chives in my windowsill. I got all my flowers planted that my grandma gave me!!! I am so excited for them to grow and bloom! Hopefully one day I will have a garden as beautiful as my grandmas!

I also won some U2 tix on the radio! I sold my ones I had previously for a little more than I had originally bought them for and now I have free tickets for Mike and I AND passes to a tailgate BBQ party before the concert! Wooo!

Waffles got fixed yesterday. She has been kinda mopey, but she is doing good. I need to post pics of her. She is getting so big!!

On Thursday I took a placement test to see what classes I need to take when I go back to school. I am going to be starting at SLCC in the fall. I did good with the English and I will start out in English 1010. Math I totally bombed! I really hate math and am no good at it! Even with studying beforehand I bombed it. I guess I need to study more and retake, because I don't want to take tons of math classes! I have taken math 1050 I believe in high school so hopefully I can test into that and not have to backtrack much further.

 The other day I got a SWEET deal on some Dr Martin sandals. We found them at a thrift store and they looked BRAND new! I couldn't pass that deal up for $2.66! Woot! Of course I clorox wiped them real good and I wore them to church today!


Another piece of good news.. Mike got to switch his schedule at work so now he will also be working 7-3:30 Monday through Friday! That will give him an extra hour of sleep in the mornings and we get to have the WHOLE weekend together now! YEEEAHHHH!!

We have countdowns going for a bunch of trips this year! The U2 concert is in 2 days! We are going to Goblin Valley with Mike's dad in June! And in July we will be going to visit Mike's brother Dave in BOSTON! I am super super SUPER excited to go to Boston, and we will be there for my fav holiday!

I haven't ever really been into sports and I decided this year I would really try to get interested in baseball since its Mike's fav, and its been fun!  We have enjoyed watching some games and Mike enjoys answering my many questions and puts up with me when I say some rules are dumb. I think I can do this baseball thing! He better not ever expect football or anything else though! This is it! Haha!

We have a really fun summer planned, and I am excited for our veggies and flowers to start doin' their thang!

Pretty but weird!

So these flowers are so pretty! I love the yellow and red. But, they didn't grow UP at all. Just kind of bloomed on the ground. And there are a few flowers all bunched together on one plant! The most I have together is 4! Crazy!!

Waiting.

I love spring. I love the leaves coming out on the trees and the sound of the birds. I love the grass turning green and going on walks. I love going to the park with my boo and throwing around a football or softball. I especially love the flowers.

But there is one thing I don't like about spring... WAITING!

My flowers are SOOOO close to blooming, and I can't take the waiting! Every day I get home and just hope that they are finally opening, but they still haven't! I hate waiting for my flowers to bloom! I wish they would just bloom!

Lunch and a Mike-ism

Monday is Mike's day off. And I work. Well, yesterday Mike decided to be super super sweet and took me to Cafe Rio during my lunch break at work! He is the best!

Mike-ism:

Mike: You've taught me a lot of stuff since we've been married.
Me: Really? Like what?
Mike: You taught me about periods.

Seriously?!

Dogs

With the spring coming I have been thinking about our dogs and what fun things we would be able to do with them this summer. Tweeg would've been big enough to take to Goblin Valley in June and Evolv could've stayed back and played with cousin Rigby. Waffles is so fun and cute but sometimes I just miss my other dogs.

Waffles does things that remind me of Tweeg sometimes. When I take her on her walk every day sometimes she looks up at me and walks a few feet staring up at me with her tongue hanging out of her mouth. Tweeg used to do that.

It snowed last night and Waffles absolutely loves the snow. We have a bell hanging up and she rings it when she needs to go out and she has rung that bell a lot today to just go outside and play in the snow! Mike just barely asked me if I could see what she was doing outside by the neighbors fence. I got up and looked out the window.. she had Mike's shoe in the snow and was shaking it all over and loving the laces! Haha! I told him and he stuck his head out the door and told her "No! Bring it back!" I told him "she doesn't know bring it back yet" so he had to go out and get his shoe. Hilarious.

One time Waffles peed on Mike's arm. We had fallen asleep watching TV late one night and she was cuddled up against Mike. All of a sudden, Mike jumped up, and said "Ah Waffles you gotta be kidding me!" His whole arm of his t-shirt was soaked! I thought it was really funny and I didn't even mind cleaning the pee up off the couch.

Waffles is so fun. We love having her and we are hoping she stays around for a lot longer than Tweegy and Evolv!

Flowers





Rug

I finally got a new rug by the front door! We have had the same rug that was in the house when we moved in. It was falling apart and dirty, but we didn't have anything else to put there. tonight we were at Lowe's and I got a new rug! It doesn't match as well as I thought it would.. but I don't care! Its new! Its clean! Its foreign germ free!


The other morning I looked outside and saw some branches.. with water droplets. Here are a few photos.



Waffles does not like baths.. probably cuz they make her looks soooo tiny. If she would just stop pooping in her kennel she wouldn't need so many baths!



A while ago we had a beautiful full moon..
