Relaxing Weekend

This past weekend I was tired of the wind and snow so my AWESOME friend Sunny let Kyle and I use her timeshare down in Mesquite. It was SO nice down there. The weather was awesome. I just wanted to lay out by the pool all day but I couldn't find my suncreen. We had massages on saturday. I totally miss having a massage. I use to do it once a month with my friends and I want to start doing that again. You just feel so relaxed the rest of the day. It was also Mesquite Days that weekend and so it was so busy down there. Lots of things to do. We even did the cosmic bowling which Kyle kicked my butt at. (I'm usually pretty good but for some reason I couldn't bowl.)
When we came back we decided to try out the new rack that Kyle made for the back of the razor to put the dogs in. I didn't get great pics of the rack but it looks so good. Kyle is pretty good at everything he does. You can also tell the dogs LOVED it! Jaxsen is a huge fan of being able to put his head out the window so he was in heaven and Keeta just laid down and enjoyed the ride. I love it cuz I don't have to hold them anymore. That was the best part of the whole ride. Thank you Sunny for the room in Mesquite and Thank you Kyle for going with me to Mesquite and making it alot of fun!!!!

Easter Weekend

This weekend Kyle and I went with his sister and family to the Sand Hollow Sand Dunes. We were hoping to find the sun down there. It was warm but you still had to wear a jacket which was better than a coat! We drove around the back side that I had never been to. It was pretty fun and I wish I would have gotten some pictures cuz the scenery was beautiful. We stopped to have lunch and of course someone always has to break down on their fourwheeler and Kyle always gets to fix it. This time tho it was a stranger and Kyle got his bike fixed in no time. We spent acouple hours there and I didn't want to leave the warm weather but I knew that Keeta was probably cursing me since we left her in her cage.

Also this weekend I have been working on some crafts. It was a busy week and I didn't get to make anything until this weekend. These first pictures are of a candle that I put stamped tissue paper on. For my first try it turned out pretty dang good. If you get too close tho you can tell there is tissue paper. But oh well. I saw the idea on the blog The Idea Room which is on my blog craft list. Just type in embossed candles and you will find it if you want to make some of your own.

Then as you can tell I made some more carrots that I posted earlier. I really like how they look. I'm sure they look like a kindergartner did them but I don't really care. I am just starting to craft so I'm for sure not a pro. I'm just glad that I have a while before another holiday hits. I have so many ideas but just not enough time. Plus most of them are for valentines day too.

Mining

Last weekend Kyle and I went for a drive out west. Our destination was Stateline Mining District. I don't know if anyone remembers but somewhere in this area is where an elderly couple was stuck in the snow for awhile last year. Kyle said they were living on cat food which is way gross. We had never been there before and did alot of searching on the internet on how to get there. In reality it was way easy. The first thing you come upon is just a chimney from an old house. I wish I would have gotten a picture but I'm pretty sure you have an image in your mind of a stone chimney.
Then the next thing you come upon is this big building that has no front or roof on it anymore. It is a huge building and people have brought couches in there and other stuff. We didn't dare go inside which surprises most of you cuz Kyle and I are pretty daring when it comes to going inside gold mines. I don't know much of the history of this place though. The internet doesn't provide much.

This next picture is of the mill on a mountain side. This is a very close up picture. We didn't climb up to it since there was alot of snow and mudd on the ground. But when it warms up we will go up there. We couldn't believe how huge it was and intact. I'm sure you can't go inside but it would be so cool if you could.

After we went to this little town we decided to keep heading north and see if we can find anything else. We tried to find a gold mind but nothing is marked out there like it is in Desert Springs. There really isn't much but a few people do live out there. Which I coudn't imagine living hundreds of miles away from civilization. It was a fun drive out there and we can't wait to go back once the snow is all gone.

Finally!!!

Well I have been saying it for awhile but I've finally took the plunge. I have told myself I would find a hobby to keep myself busy when Kyle isn't home. I have been following some blogs that have way cute ideas for crafts and I've finally started some. They are for sure not the best looking but they were fun. I made some carrots from styrofoam and fabric and they were the easiest thing I've tried so far. I found them Oopsey-Daisy Blog http://oopsey-daisy.blogspot.com. They were pretty easy to make.

These next pictures I saw on the blog http://becauseicancrafts.blogspot.com. I first made the Valentine ones and then moved onto the Easter Egg. I figured I would try to get some more holiday crafts since I only have ones for Halloween and Christmas. These crafts were pretty cheap since most of the stuff I got from the dollar store and our Roberts Crafts is closing so everything is way cheap. I do have to admit these were not the easiest things to make cuz of the moss. I'm just glad I finished them but storing them won't be much fun either.

I've had fun and it's been nice to have something to do. I am in the process of making a puff quilt and I hope I will finish it in the next few months. I've been working on it for about 5 years on and off. It has been a long time since I've made one and I've had a hard time putting it together. Oh well it will look way cute when I'm finished.

CELEBRATION!!!!

This weekend we had alot going on. First we celebrated my Grandma Bleazard's 100th birthday!!! She is such an amazing woman. She seemed really with it and in good spirits. We had a huge turn out and there were people there that weren't able to make it last year. Tons of pictures were taken and good food was served. My mom had made a poster of how many grand children, great grand children and even great great grand children but do you think I can even remember the numbers?? I will have to look up my sisters blog cuz I'm sure she will know all the numbers. I got to see my cousin Sandy who I haven't seen in 10 or so years. I'm so glad that my grandma was able to live to 100 years to bring us all together. I love you Grandma!!!

This picture is of my family with my Grandma Bleazard.We are such a good looking group!!

My siblings. I don't know what I would do without them. I am a lucky person to have the brothers and sister that I have. Thanks guys for always putting up with my crap!!!

My cousin Sandy. Growing up I didn't have many cousins my age that were girls but there was always Sandy. We always had a good time whenever we were together. Sandy I'm so glad you haven't changed. Your husband seems way cool. I can't wait for us to get together and cause some more trouble!!! Vegas here we come!

My new niece Claire. Brian and Becca are the proud parents of red head Claire. She is a doll. She fits in this family well with the red hair and really looks like Savanah's twin. Brian blessed her this sunday and did a great job. Claire never made a peep either.
This weekend was a great weekend. I got to see lots of Aunts and Uncles, cousins and past friends. This was the first time since Claire was born that all my family was able to get together. I have missed my family so much and this weekend was perfect. I LOVE my family!!!

Alice In Wonderland

This past weekend Kyle and I went to see Alice in Wonderland. I had been looking forward to it ever since I saw the previews and because I really do like Johnny Depp. He is good in everything he does! Also I have never seen a movie in 3-D so that sounded like fun. It was a pretty cool movie. The plot was alittle dark but over all I loved it! The acting was pretty good and the animation was awesome! I don't have a favorite character but I thought Alice was good and so was the Mad Hatter. I would totally go see this again in the theaters and I will definately buy this movie. Thank you Kyle for taking me to the movie!!!

Kyle was nice enought to let me take a picture of us in our way cool 3-D glasses!!

Girls day

This past weekend I got to have a girls day with my family. It was awesome!!! There was Carrie, Tracy, Becca, my Mom and I. Brian also came but wasn't aloud to hang out. =) Sorry Brian but thanks for driving Becca out. We all drove up to Provo and ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory which was way good. I had never been there and the food is awesome. We got to see baby Claire. (Which I hope I spelled her name right.) She is so CUTE!!! I think she is a good mix of both Becca and Brian. After lunch we got to do some shopping. Man I forgot how crazy Orem and Provo people are!!! It was a mad house! Then to finish off the day we went to Costco. I thought it was bad down here but that place is busier than Vegas!!

To the girls- Thank you so much for coming. I needed this trip cuz I missed you guys. I had alot of fun and I can't wait for the next one! Maybe we should go somewhere exotic!!! Also thank you to the guys for letting their wives come out and for babysitting. THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

Keeta again

I know another blog about Keeta but I have great news about her. We have her potty trained! It is so nice that she runs to the door instead of leaving wonderful surprises!! HA HA HA Also she has decided that everything Jaxsen has she has to have and he can't. She has taken over his bed even tho we have caught the two of them in Jaxsen's bed together. So I decided she needed her own bed and her own blanket to chew on. She LOVES her bed. Which is good so now maybe she will leave Jaxsens stuff alone.

She is getting so big! I can't believe how fast she is growing. I swear when we first got her she barely fit in my hand and now she is a huge handful! I always thought Jaxsen was alittle hyper cuz he would run around the house for no reason, but Keeta does it now and it is pretty funny to watch. She has such long legs that she sticks out in front of her. I'm pretty sure most dogs bend their front legs but she sticks them out there like sticks.

Keeta in her bed the night I brought it home.
