House Wife Projects

I don't know what # I am on anymore. But here are my latest... a wedding countdown for Chris and Jessica. The numbers are velcro and can be taken on and off!



A grocery bag holder to match my apron, dish clothes, and message board!


Date Night with The Soon to be Larsens!

Went to dinner at PF Changs with Chris and Jessica, the soon to be newlyweds, and for dessert after at Seredipity 3 after. I got their famous frozen hot chocolate. Chris liked it the most. We met up with Mike and Amber and walked the forum shops. We talked and goofed around until we couldn't walk anymore. I was so excited to also find out that night that I get to be a bridesmaid in the wedding!! Josh and I are both in and I am so excited I can hardly wait.



4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. I went out to the lake with my grandparents, cousins, and sisters in the morning. We wake boarded and tubed. Kalah got up on the board like a champ. I didn't even care to try. Tarin was our flag girl in her life jacket that didn't fit her! We headed in just as everyone else was coming out.




That afternoon Josh and I headed to his parents. We had a BBQ, water balloon fights, and just plain water fights with hoses and water slide. After we watched the neighbors fireworks and set off our own display. I love holidays and BBQ. Its the only good thing about summer.




Poker Night

Josh hosted a poker night with his friends while we went to the backstreet boys concert. We had tons of people over. Our friend Steven was in town from college and got to come over. When he comes into town everyone from high school gets together it is like a mini reunion. We always have a good time catching up and reminiscing. Hopefully we will get to do it again soon.


Backstreet Boys Concert

Jessica and I went to the Backstreet Boys Concert a few weeks ago at The Beach at Mandalay Bay. We had a blast from the past. It was still just as fun as when we were 12. I ran into a friend of mine from high school, Kristin, it was good to sit and chat with her and her mom. By the end of the concert it was ruled out that I was more of a N'SYNC fan than BSBs. I didn't know one of their biggest songs haha. I challanged the girls to a nsync lyric showdown if they ever come to town. It was great! Weird to think that all of "the Boys" were balding and had wedding rings on and we were there with our wedding rings on watching them. We are all getting old!!

I dont know why but I had to put these 2 updates on another post because it wouldn't let me put any other pictures on the last one.

Enjoying the Pool

We have been enjoying the community pool. We only go when there is no body there. Which is hard to come by but we get lucky every once in a while. In our next house, I would love to have a pool!

Willy Wonka @ Spring Mtn.

Went to see Willy Wonka last week with some of Josh's family. We had a great time visiting, eating, and of course watching the play. It was good. I really liked it. I haven't been disappointed yet with a play there. Hope to see Annie next summer!

A Spa Day

The other day I went to spend my gambling winnings at the Green Valley Ranch Spa. Locals get 30% during the week so I figured why not? I got a neck, back, and shoulder massage and a pina colada pedicure. With any service you get full access to the spa pool all day. There you can order food and drinks and you don't even have to get up. It all comes to you. The picture on the right was the pool I go to lay out by after my massage. Which was probably the best I have ever had. The picture on the left was my view from the pedicure chair. This was the main pool. The pedi chairs were amazing too. No massage but but the bowls were so cool!!

Sex in the City 2

I went and saw Sex in the City 2 with my sisters, my mom, and some close family friends. I never watched any of the series but I just love the movies. They are so good! I enjoyed the girls night out. I am ready for #3!

Father's Day

On Father's Day, we went for a hike up at Mt Charleston with my family. It was a total of a 4 mile hike and it took about 2.5 hrs. I would love to do it again. It was a great work out. We went back to my grandparents for a BBQ and to open gifts. My dad got a blue ray and we got him some movies to go with it. My grandpa got some new golfing clothes. After a quick visit, we headed over to Josh's grandparents. I tried to resist the Mexican food but I couldn't. We opened gifts. Dave got key less entry for his truck. Josh and I took it to get installed a few days before and he was so disappointed because he thought we were getting something done. Little did he know. His grandpa got a automatic hammer thingy. I'm not quite sure what it was called but he enjoyed making noise with it.
A Surprise Visit

Last weekend we had a surprise visit from my dad's adopted sister, Jana. It had been almost 19yrs since my Aunt Laurie had seen her and about 10yrs for my family. She was going to Arizona and had a little bit of extra time to come see us. We had fun being tourist with her. We ate at a Mexican restaurant called El Patron. It was very good. They we headed to Fremont Street. I have been down there several times and never saw this fancy red high heel. It was so cute! Aunt Jana, Aunt Laurie, and my Dad had to get a picture with Elvis. Every tourist does right? Josh and Laurie played the slots for a little bit while we walked around. I came back and put in 9 bucks and hit a royal flush. Cashed out $200 richer! After we all went home I stopped to play bingo. I won the coverall and got $100. I was $300 richer when I got home!

Toy Story 3 @ Midnight

Went at 12:01am on June 18th to see Toy Story 3. It was my favorite out of the 3. We pretty much laughed through out the whole thing. I'm not sure if they set it up for a 4th on or not at the end but I think that they would be ok with just leaving #3 as the last one!

Racquel's Birthday @ Disneyland

Josh and I took Racquel, my best friend, to Disneyland for her birthday. I wrapped up one of the carmel apples I made and gave it to her as her gift! We had an awesome time. She hadn't been in like 6 years so she was like taking a little kid. Apparently the workers thought she was little too. On Snow White, they made me switch seats with her since the little person has to sit on the inside. I made sure the worker knew she was turning 23. We enjoyed making fun of all the hard core Asian tourist by putting up our peace signs too in every picture. I even got glowing Mickey Mouse ears to wear with her. Josh didn't want any part in that. Got to see the World of Color too. It was amazing. No words really explain it until you see it for yourself. Disneyland never disappoints me.

Game #7- Lakers vs Celtics

We went over to my parents to watch the big game. Dave and the boys, Kim, and Jared joined us. Tarin made her first batch of rice krispy treats. We even put purple and yellow sprinkles on them for good luck! And it worked. Lakers became the National Champions for the 2nd year in a row. They beat them 83-79.

Terracotta Coasters

I got this idea off a blog I saw but I can't remember where :( these cost me $5 to make. I made 4.

i dont know why the pictures are so yellow. the camera on my phone sometimes does that.
