Kyle's Surgery

Well Kyle went to Las Vegas to have surgery this past tuesday. He had an anterior/posterior back fusion. They went thru his belly and put a plate on L4-5 and L5-S1. Then they flipped him over and put a plate and rod on the same vertebreas thru the back. Dr. Kabins did the surgery and he said it went perfect. Kyle is doing good but he is in alot of pain as expected. Today he has gotten up 5 times and this last time he moved so much faster. I think he is making great progress. I went to take a picture of him but my batteries were dead. I will have to stop at the gift shop at the hotel and buy some. He is staying at UMC and I'm at Palace Station Casino. Both places are nice. The people at UMC are so nice except Kyle's nurse today. He seems to think that Kyle doesn't need any pain meds. I think Kyle has thought about killing him but I won't let it happen. I will keep you posted and hopefully be able to get a picture. Maybe I'll ask him when he has had a few pain meds on board. He pretty much does whatever I ask then. I got him to walk to the door which was huge for him.

They Say It's Your Birthday!!

This past weekend Jaxsen and I celebrated our birthdays. I just wanted to post some pictures of us. We had a great weekend. We went and picked up pine nuts with Kyle's sister and brother in law, went to St. George to do some shopping and watched movies. It was a nice relaxing weekend.

This picture is of Jaxsen when I first got him. He is 2 months old. He was so cute. Mostly eyeballs and ears!

I was driving home one weekend and had Jaxsen in the front seat with me. I looked over and he had his face between my cd case and the seat. I thought it was so cute!

Truck Racing

This weekend Kyle and I went with some friends to Las Vegas to the Truck Racing which is just like NASCAR but with trucks. It was so much fun. The weather was so hot it was around 107 but as soon as the sun went down it was perfect and around 81 degrees. The race was pretty quick too but I do have to admit I didn't watch much of the race. We had a couple in front of us that were fighting the whole time. It was pretty distracting but entertaining. It is funny what alcohol does to a person. They had a few drinks in their system. The last picture is really there to show off the pretty sunset. The colors were amazing! We had a great time and wouldn't mind going again. The tickets were free so you can pass that up! (Except never eat at the Saraha Casino Buffet. It was GROSS!!!)

Fall

Last weekend I wanted to go up the mountain to take pictures of the red leaves and hopefully get some of us. Thank goodness Kyle is a good husband and didn't mind taking me up the mountain. The leaves on the trees were just begining to change and there were mostly red leaves. It was so beautiful. I have decided that Fall is my favorite time of year. As you could tell Jaxsen didn't coperate very well with the camera. He usually does but there was just too much going on for him to stare at the camera.

NICKELBACK!!!

This was the coolest concert I have ever been to. All the bands were AMAZING!!! The first band was Saving Abel. They are new and didn't have too many songs to sing but they still did a good job. Papa Roach was the 2nd band and I was so surprised at how many songs of theirs I knew. They aren't my favorite band but they put on a very good concert. This first picture is of Papa Roach. This also shows how great our tickets were. We were so close.

The 3rd band was Hinder. We had seen them before and they did a great job but this time was different. This time the lead singer jumped off stage and went thru the crowd singing the song. This next picture is of the singer as he was right in front of us. There wasn't anyone in the row infront of us for some reason and he darted in and stood on the chair. We were so shocked that we weren't able to get the camera out soon enough to get a good picture, but you could tell how close he was. It was so awesome!

Nickelback came out when it was pretty dark so we weren't able to get any good pictures of them but they were awesome. Actually words can't describe how much fun we had and good they were. I absolutely love their songs and they sang all the best ones. They had fireworks going, flames, cool light show and great interaction with the crowd. We sang songs by garth brooks and ac/dc. They sang for 3 hours straight. The drummer did the coolest drum solo. He has some serious talent. The AC/DC song was sung by the lead singer from Hinder. He did a great job.

This concert was so good that we are actually thinking of going to the one in Vegas. I can't wait for them to put out a new album! Thank you Kyle for taking me to the Nickelback concert for our anniversary!

2 Years!!!

This past tuesday Kyle and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary! We couldn't believe how fast time as gone. We went out to dinner with Kyle's family and had a great time. When I came home from work I had flowers waiting for me on the counter. They are so pretty!

I'm so glad that Kyle and I have eachother. I love him so much! I can't imagine my life without him. He is my bestfriend. He is always there when I have bad days and helps remind me of the things we have to be thankful for. I can't wait to have many more anniversary's!!!

I LOVE YOU KYLE!!!

Girls Weekend!

This past weekend I went to Las Vegas with a few of my co-workers to have a girls weekend. I'm so glad I went. It was nice to hang out with my friends outside of work. We went to dinner at Dick's Last Resort. That is what the first picture is. The servers there are very rude to you but that is the whole point of the place. They throw your napkins and forks at you and then once they get to know you alittle better they start to write funny things on paper hats and give them to you. Some of them were very mean so I won't repeat what any of them said. =) The rule in Vegas is what happens here stays here so i'm only putting up the group picture at dinner up and my picture with my hat. After dinner we went to a country night club called Stoney's. They have a mechanical bull there and alot of the girls rode the bull. It was so funny to watch them try to stay on. I was too tired to ride. We finally went home around 4 in the morning!! I haven't stayed up that late in forever! Saturday we did some major shopping and hung out by the pool. Then I went home with some of the girls that night while the rest of them stayed till Sunday. We had a great time and I can't wait to go again.

North Carolina Trip

Over July 24th Weekend Kyle and I went to North Carolina. A co-worker of Kyle's won a trip there and wasn't able to go so we got to go instead. We had a blast! I would move there is a heart beat. I wish I had taken pictures of the place. It was amazing. The East coast is so green! There were so many trees that you couldn't see the towns from the freeway. So the whole point of the trip was Super Car Sensation. It is a company that owns luxury cars like Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin, Nissan GTR, Mercedes, Ferrari, BMW. You can choose from different plans and we got to go on the 4 hour road tour of Charlotte. We got to drive all the cars but the Ferrari (someone wrecked it acouple weeks before we got there), BMW, and the Mercedes. You go on your ride and every now and then we would pull over and change out drivers. Kyle got to drive all 4 cars and I drove 2 of the cars. I have to admit I was too scared to drive the Lamborghini. It was so wide and the roads are very narrow I knew I would crash it. We had such a good time. We decided out of all the cars we would totally buy the Nissian GTR. I got the car going 115 miles per hour. It was awesome. We drove on the back roads and every now and then you would slam the gas pedel down and get it going as fast as you could and then slow down to the speed limit. I would totally recommend this experience. We stayed in Charlotte for 3 days. We have a chaffeur the whole time. We rode around in Lincoln's the whole time. It was really nice to not have to worry about directions or anything. I've posted some pictures of us on our road trip. This first picture is of the Nissian GTR. The second and third is of the attention getter Lamborghini. Then the last picture is of the other cars we got to drive as well as the BMW. Our tour guide drove that car the whole time. He said he prefers the BMW over any of the cars they have there.
