FaMiLy ReUnIoN!!!

We recently got back from my family reunion that was in Albion, Idaho! Sounds fairly boring but it was the complete opposite! There was a pool, a hot tub, a big blow up slide and bounce house and lots of space for everyone to run around on. My parents booked this place last year when they first opened up and since then the price has jumped 3 times higher so we most likely won't be going there again but we had such a blast. Today Nick and I had the day off since we live in Utah and Pioneer Day is a state holiday we decided to go to Lava Hot Springs. It was raining on and off most of the day so we decided to just rent tubes and float down the little canal thing they have which was still fun. There are some parts that the rocks stick up quite a bit and if you're not paying attention they'll scratch the crap out of ya! Poor Nick got scraped up pretty good. I almost forgot about the 4th of July..Nick had to work so I went camping with Mom and Dad which was really fun..I love Lake Cleveland! Nick and I also went to the fireworks here in Logan...we are thinking the firework budget was cut quite a bit this year since they only lasted exactly 10 minutes! Lastly..I chopped my hair! Thanks again Ericka!

This is where we stayed...ya it was really nice!

Nick was a little too tall to stand up on the slide so that's why he looks like he is in pain!

Lava Hot Springs!
The rock that scratched Nick...this is one among the four

Happy 4th of July..Ericka and Casen came for lunch up to Lake Cleveland!

Happy Pioneer Day! We didn't know what else to do after the fireworks ended so abruptly so we took a picture of ourselves!

2 Years and Still going Strong!

June 23, 2007 Nick and I got married. Yes we made it to two years can you believe it!? We went out to dinner and watched Australia...love that movie! Happy Anniversary darlin!

Bear Lake

My sister Lu and her kids and I went to Bear Lake and played in the water and just had a couple hours of fun in the sun! We all wanted to stay longer but little Addi wasn't the easiest to handle with her stuffing her face with sand! We did get a little pink on the shoulders so good thing we didn't stay any longer than we did!

Wasatch Back..

I did it! Well..actually WE did it! I can't believe it is done and over with and let me tell you it was a lot harder than I thought it would be but it was so fun. After losing my first toenail due to the running..(my second one will be coming shortly), a good week of NOT running, I have mostly recovered from the big race. I loved all of my teammates and it was fun to meet new people along the way from logan to park city. There were some definite crazy's dressed up in anything and everything from indian dresses to people just wearing diapers!! My first leg was a "knee jarring" as the call it 7 miles downhill. I actually enjoyed the downhill it was the 3 more miles on flat that kicked my butt! Then my second leg was around 11:30 p.m. that was 8 miles..that was a gradual uphill..sick nasty is what it was! My last leg was a whopping 3 miles but I still wanted to die at the point! All in all I recommend this fun, hard, tiring, crazy race to anyone! It is so fun to be with a team while doing it because everyone is gross and sweaty and we all were so tired so we could all relate! Here are a few pictures..I was told I'm pretty intense while running..not the most smiley person! I really did have fun though! I sure hope I can do it next year! In case you were wondering how far it was..188 miles! Here are a few pictures.

Last but not least...the toe without a toenail!

Lots of Pics for Lost Time

Well time has flown in our household the last couple months. Nick pleaded with me that he not take any classes this summer and for some odd reason I gave in so he is just working full-time for the summer and will start the nursing program in the fall. I am still doing the same things as always but have been getting in a lot more miles of running in than usual since I'm training for the Wasatch Back. I'm not sure I will live to see the days after that race so I have already told my what things my sister can have after I die! Lets see here...well Memorial Day weekend was great, atleast for me it was! Nick had to work all weekend so I said see ya later sucker! I went camping with my parents and bro and his kids. We had fun fishing and sitting by the campfire for the one night the weather permitted us to. I got my first "farmer tan" of my life during that weekend. Growing up I always rolled up my sleeves or was wearing a tank top but not this time. My sister has been here from Oklahoma off and on between Utah and Idaho and we have enjoyed spending time with her and her kids. Nick was able to attend our friend's sealing in the Twin Falls temple a month ago or so as well. The latest addition to the Wall side of the family is Jacob Lee Wall. My brother and his wife just had a baby boy just a couple weeks ago and we have yet to see the new little guy but can't wait to meet him!

Justin and Dad just chatting after a long night of rain!

Kira (my niece) is so cute and is all girl and wanted to wear makeup even when we were camping!

Caleb (my nephew) caught the biggest fish out of all of us! He loved fishing but he didn't like touching the worms too much!

Jimmy holding up the dress..not sure he knows what he is doing!

Mr and Mrs. Jimmy Lee Jolley for the first time! Her dress was gorgeous..atleast in the pics!

Layla (my other neice) loves to be pampered and also loves Nick and gets real nervous around him!

This is Adeline and she is so adorable..look at those cheeks!

The newest member of the Wall clan, baby Jacob!

Easter and Birthday Fun!

We went home for Easter last weekend it was so fun to spend time with the family. Saturday morning we all went to support Camden in the big easter egg hunt at the Rupert square! Oh it was exciting the whole 2 minutes that it lasted! He was so excited! My parents got a trampoline and we had quite the time on that as well! We colored easter eggs and had a tasty easter dinner. We celebrated my birthday a little early and we had my all time favorite ice-cream cake from Dairy Queen! Delicious! My dearest sister did my hair which I'm completely thankful for! It looks great..it would look better if my husband would let me go tanning! Oh well..On my real birthday Nick was so nice and did whatever I wanted! He spoiled me with flowers, golf shoes, tennis shoes, and some clothes and the movie Twilight! We went to eat at Olive Garden and as usual it was so good..too good that we ate too much and were stuffed the rest of the night! I wish I could say spring is here but here in Logan it has been snowing all day today..sick..I sure hope it stops real soon so I can start using those new golf and tennis shoes. Heres a few pics from the weekend!

Camden waiting to go find all the candy and easter eggs!

Casen wasn't quite sure if he liked Nick just yet!

Me and my momma

Nick's magnificent cake he made for me..he has mad cake decorating skills!

My new cute golf shoes! I may still be hesitant about the whole golfing thing but these sure are cute!

The Long Wait Is Over....

We finally received the letter above we have been waiting for that says Nick has been accepted to the Nursing program at Weber State University! Yay! We are so happy that he got in! The program technically starts in the summer but he has already taken all the courses that he would be required to take then so he will start next fall. The program is with Weber but he will be able to take the courses here at USU which will prevent us from having to move to Ogden. Good job Nick! We went out to eat with some friends to celebrate. It is such a relief to know what we'll be doing the next little while. As for Nick's USU schooling goes, he has about a semester 1/2 to graduate with his bachelors in Exercise Science so we're hoping he can take a few classes this summer to get closer to finishing with that. I was able to ride with some friends down to salt lake and attend our friend's graduation and she got straight A's the whole way! Good job Cindy Lou!

Valentines Day!

Well after my last post of making fun of Nick, I thought I should write some nice things about him! But let's be honest, I am not the most romantical person or as I call it cheesy when it comes to talking about feelings and such! Just not me! I do have a heart I promise! I do want to say I appreciate all the Nick does for me and how much fun I have with him. Nick surprised me pretty good this Valentines. He got me not one but TWO dozen roses which are so gorgeous! He said it was because I was double good this year! Probably not but it sounds good right. Then he got me my favorite perfume which is kinda spendy so that was pretty exciting too! He took me to this cute Italian restaurant that we have heard so much about and overall I thought it was pretty good. It's called Le None's. I recommend it to anyone..it is a little steep in price I thought but it was still good and they gave every girl a rose since it was Valentine's Day which was a bonus!! We then went to Cold Stone and got some delicious ice-cream to end the night! It was such a fun night and we had a great time! Thanks for being the greatest husband ever Nick! I sure hope everyone had a great Valentines Day as well! Here are a few pics.

Classic pose from my one and only...I wish he would just smile! I still love him either way!

The gorgeous roses he got me...my lack of photography skills don't do them justice!
Eating our cold stone ice-cream..yes Meag that is minus two points!

Updates

Not too many exciting things have happened since I last posted but I do have a few pics to share. Last weekend Nick and I went snowboarding at Beaver here in Logan and it was such a beautiful day on the mountain. I don't think we could've picked a better day. The snow was a little icy in the morning but not for very long. They had receieved a ton of snow a day or two previous so there was a lot of powder! I have recently switched jobs as well. I started last week at the City of Logan. I am working in the utility billing office. I am starting to warm up to all my co-workers and think it's going to be a good job for me. It is definitely different compared to my other job where it is so busy that I don't even time to think about being bored so it makes the day go by a lot faster which is always good. Nick is still working hard at school and this semester is a little bit less stressful without having those crazy microbiology classes. We also got to go hang out with one of my good friends from when I first moved to Logan back in the single days! It was her birthday so a bunch of people went to the factory and ate some good food!
Not a cloud in sight! It was so nice!

This was so funny...Nick was having some trouble attaching his ski ticket to his pants. He had no idea I was taking the pictures but I had nothing to do while he struggled with this.

Here is another one..him still not getting it! You'd think he hadn't done this before..

And he is still working on it but has finally got it! What a smarty!

Me and Steph on her birthday! Thanks for the fun times!
