SO we have been away for awhile...

Lance is amazing! He makes our yard now look like this!
(you can see lance smiling out the window in the kitchen)

And our backyard looks like this!

(i love how he just goes around the really bad area Hahaha)

Yes we do have the tent set up in the backyard cause we went camping over memorial day weekend and it did not just rain it poured and our tent got all went and dirty so lance and i came home and we set it up in the backyard so we could clean it out and stuff and as we were cleaning it out wow surprise it started to rain again. so its still up until further notice....plus
Bonus it adds something extra to our massively huge back yard that only gets use when i go back there and tan. So maybe if it does not rain this week we will sleep in it!



Next week is Lances Birthday and that's exciting he is going to be 24 which to me is crazy cause seriously we were just 16 kissing in the park!


IN three weeks we are going to California for the many events going on! and that's exciting! Speaking of California this is my awesome new sticker on my car ! i love it cause no one else has it and i feel good about that! Cause with us seriously we cant be ordinary that might be easy!

Well TA TA sorry we dont have more exciting news!

Clarissa & Matts Bridal Pictures....

SO... this past week my good friend Clarissa is getting married and we took her bridals and her engagements and i have to say i did pretty amazing if i say so my self! If you know Clarissa she is QUEEN OF THE SHORT HAIR! but knowing her she wanted a long hair style for her wedding pictures! AHHHHH! So i bought hair and cut it into small wefts and curled each piece and basically pinned them in making "temporary extensions" i was DETERMINED to make them look real if it was the last thing i did! I was not letting it look fake at all! I also helped with her makeup! SO she looks pretty HOT! WOOOO HOOO! SO here is a before and after picture!

Pretty Good! I dont mean to brag but hey.....i will....

TURTLE UPDATE!
IN other updates Lance has taken the turtle s to a new level in life.... they got a new house..... and since were to broke to buy a 50 buck tank he improvised and made one out of a rubber made container! He calls it his turtle habitat! He shows it to every person that comes over! its kinda cute and hey he can still carry it from room to room which makes him happy so that's good! Heres some pics!

i Love Lance and with him around im never bored!

Lance is in love with his turtles....and i planted a garden and it grew!

TURTLE ALERT!

So we went to California last week and when we went downtown Lance decided to buy two baby turtles on the street....from a random Hispanic lady....none the less.... and so he brings his turtle s all the way home to Utah and now the man is just obsessed..... he carries his turtles around the house with him....he goes in the front room the turtles go in the front room.... he even brings them and puts them on the dresser next to the bed when he sleeps. So the other night i woke up in the middle of the night and lance had put the turtles in a "special place" before he went to work. i walk in and i look on my tall lamp in my living room and he has taken and put the turtle cage on top of the lamp with the lamp on. he left a note...."please dont move the turtles they sleep better when they are warm..." omg i almost died laughing! i love how lance takes such good care of his turtles...

Bloom Where Your Planted....

So when we moved in i really wanted to see if i could learn to plant flowers in front of the house.... So before it started snowing i planted the bulbs that was like ummm....... November and i did not even know if i had done it right but this last week i got my proof! Tulips and Daffodils galore! it was exciting i must say!

Our Sunday Dinner Tradition......

As per our wonderful tradition we eat dinner every Sunday night together.... We make dinner together we make total comfort food! So tonight we had stuffed chicken breasts....! Horray they were delicious and super cheap! Just chicken breasts stuffed with chicken flavored stuffing with cream of chicken soup on top and cheese! Delicious! Recap!

Happy Easter!

So My Easter has been quite enjoyable i must say so myself! Today i woke up around 10 and went in the living room to see lance had made me the cutest Easter basket! Can i just say wow how thoughtful is he? I just love it!

Then we continued on with our normal Sunday routine (church, and wingers...) ahahhahaha so colleen and lance....then i have a test coming up and so i 100% had to study all day...but as usual could not focus to save my life! So who do i call every time i need something....Jessica as usual she never fails me.... So we decide to go to Vivian park in provo canyon to study so we will not be distracted..... so we took keva (jessicas dog and lance and let them play together....)I have to say i love spending Easter with two of my bestest friends!

Now im home and studying some more! and Jessica is making chocolate Carmel tart for us to eat! and only a week till California! HAPPY EASTER!!!! xoxoxoox!

Pickles are really Cucumbers?

Sooo...tonight i was on the phone with jessica and we talked about how a couple weeks ago i learned something i did not know before.... Did you know that Pickles were once a cucumber? I really 100 % did not know this....and Jessica and Clarissa explained the entire process to me and how they were once a cucumber .... When you think about the valid points in my story and how i would not put two and two together maybe it will make you think twice.... first of all pickles are only like 2 bucks for an entire jar...when a cucumber is like 75 cents on it own and there is like 20 pickles in a jar so how can they mark up the price for one "cucumber" when they are only charging 2 bucks for like 20 little ones. Realistically it does not make any sense. Second of all pickles and cucumbers really dont even have the same texture to them. Thats its kind of odd. And thirdly how did i go thought my 22 years and not know this...HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS BUT EVERYONE ELSE DID....was i like absent on "important things to know in life" school day.....HahHa! So im glad i know now and if you did not know before....im glad i could save you from such humiliation.....

Secondly ill share with you tonight i made a Roast and i have not made on in so long lance was so excited its one of his favorite things that i make cause he calls it my "simple cooking" ....sometimes he says i try to hard and i really end up messing a lot of things up...(cat will remember when i made Parmesan crusted pork chops....ya they tasted like death..) so here is a quick remission of our delightfully delicious dinner!

Conference was also really great we both enjoyed it and especially liked what the prophet and elder Ukdorf ( i probably did not spell that right) talked about the economy and how
"the future is as bright as our faith..."

Xoxo....
