Dumont Sand Dunes Presidents Day Weekend

This past weekend Kyle and I went to the sand dunes.  We took off thursday hoping to find some warm weather and good friends.  Well we did find some good friends.  The weather on the other hand wasn't great but we did have some warm moments.  Dumont sand dunes are over by the border of California and Nevada.  It was a long drive but I think most of it is the anticipation of getting there.  Kyle's friend Kendell and his nephew Derek came with us and it was nice to have some good company for the ride.  We also took both our dogs and they had a great time.  There were 6 dogs total at the camp and thankgoodness they all got along.  This first picture is of the sand dunes and it is maybe 1/8 of the sand dunes.  There is just tons of dunes there.  I think this is part of the back side, but I'm not sure.

 This picture is of competition hill and we are on the very top of it looking down.  Usually this place is packed with people wanting to prove their bike is better but this year there was hardly any people there.  It was acutally nice cuz the dunes weren't crowded and you can ride where ever you want.
 Me of course sitting in the razor.  It it too hard to get buckled up and unbuckled that I usually just sit in the razor while Kyle gets out to stretch his legs.
 This is a picture of the sand dunes from our camp.  You can see all the tracks since it rained the night before and made the sand more like dirt.
We had a great time this past weekend.  There weren't very many people in our camp since there were alot of people sick and stayed home but we had a great time.  The food was awesome except the night we cooked together the wind picked up and dusted our food with sand.  Oh well you get use to it.  We were just glad the rain only happened at night and not during the day except when we were packing everything up to go home.  I can't wait to go again.  I love going for rides in the razor on the dunes and I miss my friends Delrae and Vicky.  They are so much fun and I miss them.  Until next time.....

Valentines Day

This year for Valentines Kyle surprised me totally.  I was hoping we would go out to dinner and was dropping hints that flowers would be nice.  On Saturday he asked me what I wanted to do for Valentines and I told him I was hoping he would take me out to dinner but if he didn't have reservations made we weren't going out cuz it would be too busy.  So he had me thinking we were going to Wendy's cuz he didn't have any reservations made.  Also, he was complaining about how this holiday is only for girls and he thought he should be getting gifts. go figure.  Well I decided this year I was going to get him something.  So I got a bag and filled it with all his favorite candy.  I also made him a card with my cricut.  It actually looked pretty good.  So the day comes and I'm thinking of what to cook all day long while I was at work and when Kyle gets home from work he has 3 roses in his hand and tells me I need to get ready for dinner cuz we were going out.  We went to Milt's which is where we went 5 years ago on our 2nd date.  It was perfect.  We had some good food and no need to impress eachother. =) He even ate the green onions like he had 5 years ago.  I was really surprised he had made the reservations 2 weeks before for dinner.  I sure am a lucky girl to have such a great guy!

Valentine Crafts

I have finally got off my butt and made some crafts.  This first one I made from a styrofoam heart and fabric.  I cut the fabric into 2 inch squares and then poked them into the heart.  This was one of the easiest crafts I have done.  As always pictures don't do it justice but I sure think it is cute.


These next pictures are of the table cloths I made last weekend with my mom.  I had a blast with her.  These are so easy too! I can't wait to make more.  I love how my valentines one turned out.  My favorite part are the heart buttons.


 Last but not least the one I made for my piano.  My piano was looking so loney over there with no decorations and this table cloth makes it look so much better.

I had a great time with my mom and I'm so glad she taught me how to make these table cloths.  Now to make an easter one!!!
