KAL-I-FOR-NIGH-AYE

So found out my sister was going to have a 3-day weekend....I thought to myself "I haven't been to Hailey's in a LONG time..." I found out my parents were possibly going...bonus. Then I was trying to convince my little sister to come along with me for the getaway since Kyle was going to be off hunting...and off to CALIFORNIA we went!

I always love getting together with my family and luckily I was able to join and not miss out on any of the fun!

Some of the fun things we did:

*played with the dogs - yes all 3

*visited Jenni Kayne - (the store Hay manages)

*went shopping

*went on walks...of course with the dogs ;)

*ate at "Lemonade" - YUMMY

*visited the Beverly Hills Club for Dogs - where Pumpkin was featured for her TV debut

*went to Zuma Beach :)

*Hung out at The Grove...we ate, shopped, talked, and people watched.

*went to La Brea Tar Pits

*ate @ Chipotle - YUM

*watched Disney Nature's OCEANS - very cool

*went to Santa Monica Pier

*meandered down 3rd and Promenade in Santa Monica (which then got the song by Savage Garden stuck in my head...wierd seeing how i haven't listened to that in FOREVER - I'm thinking since middle school)

*ate at Enterprise Fish Co. - YUM YUM in my TUM

*Parallel Park -which I don't have to do in STG ever - just in LA

It was so much fun!

Thanks again Hay for being the hostess with the mostess fun! Love ya sister! xoxo

Happy Birthday Kyle!

October 14, 2010 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY KY!

Kyle turned the big whopping "24" and sadly during the middle of the week with school and work and everyhing in between, we kept it a little low key....sorry honey. One of Kyle's friends he met while out on his mission was driving through with his girlfriend...they stopped and stayed the night with us. They didn't get to our house til about midnight...they were hungry...so we all decided to head to DENNY'S! HaHa it was lots of fun to chat and get to know Roger and listen to Kyle and him tell all sorts of hilarious stories! Anyways, by that time it was Oct. 14 and apparently at Denny's you get a free "Grand Slam" meal on your Birthday! (FYI for those of you who love breakfast for dinner...) Late night...but good times! So for the next month I will enjoy being 24 with Kyle.... :)

The weekend rolled around and a friend, Laurie, had tickets to go to the DEW TOUR at the Hard Rock in Vegas! So we went down and enjoyed watching all the sk8ers show us their skillz! It was way cool to see how they set up the skate park in the venue - The Joint.

Anyways, we had a good time watching them all compete! Afterwards we got to go and meet some of the guys...what a fun night! Thank you Laurie & Tim for the tickets :)

Mom & Joyce came to visit!

My Mom and her good friend Joyce started their road trip from Glenns Ferry and were destination bound to L.A.! They were headed to take Pumpkin and her pups to Hailey. So lucky me that St. George is about the half way mark for them when headed through. They arrived on Monday night and they got here and we went straight over to see "Tarzan" out at Tuacahn in Snow Canyon. It was a lot of fun to go and see the production out there - Thank you mom for treating us to a fabulous evening! (They announced that they are having "The Little Mermaid" and "Grease" next year!! - I am excited)

Joyce, Carli, Me, & Mom
The sweet little puppies have grown so much! It was so much fun to have them around for a little bit before they go to their new owners....they were just each getting their own little personalities and show their fiesty attitudes! Love them!

Me holding Mags, Precious and Rosco! They loved playing in my back yard so much....it was endless space for them and they just loved following Kruz and Pumpkin around!

Mom and Joyce headed out to LA and were there the rest of the week and then came back to St. George for the weekend. Joyce hadn't ever been to Zion before, so of course we had to go and show her all of it's beauty! We drove up there and went up along Mt. Caramel Hwy and drove through the tunnels and came across BIG HORN SHEEP on the side of the road as we were driving by....it was awesome!

It was so much fun having mom and Joyce come visit! We had so much fun hanging out together...as always! We went and did fun things, ate some amazing food (yes we went to Samurai 21 and Anasazi Grill - my 2 STG favorites!), had nice walks, and they helped me do some re-decorating(thanks Joyce!) but most of all just enjoyed my visitors!

Together with the Treece's!

ROADTRIP!

After work on Friday we headed up and I have not been able to catch up with one of my friends for way too long and so we got to meet up with Allison and Thomas for Dinner! It was so much fun to catch up with them...sadly it wasn't for very long (and of course I didn't get a picture.., but it was still so mcuh fun! We had dinner at one of my favorite places there. ZUPAS!

TOOELE
So we were able to go up to Tooele to go visit our family! We were so excited to go up there because Kyle and I were ready to be in FALL weather and of course to see everyone! :) We got to make it to see one of Jake's soccer games....he was the goalie and he and an awesome save! Good job Jake! :)

STRAWBERRY RESERVOIR

After Jake's game we decided to go and spend the day up at "Strawberry Reservoir." It was BEAUTIFUL! I hadn't ever been up there before....we had lots of fun fishing...eating...playing with the dogs...enjoying the fall colors....and a lovely little hike!

Kruz loves it outside...especially when he can roam around and not be on a leash!


Me & Becca enojying the sun

Jake playing with Blue and Kruz....Kruz was Blue and Fletch's shadows all weekend! Anything they did he had to do it too....

Of course....they all have to check out what KYLE is doing..... haha

I love this picture of Fletch and Kruz...he would not leave Fletch's side...ALL weekend!

SLC

We had such a fun-filled weekend...the fun never stopped. and then we ended on going to Broadway's "THE LION KING." It was down town SLC at the Capitol Theater...which by the way is incredible inside....I hadn't ever been there before...but it was amazing!

The 4 of us afterwards.... AMAZING! The show was absolutely incredible....I loved every minute of it. The costumes were amazing...the whole show was GREAT...the seats were fantastic...and I had great company....I just loved it all! I can't even begin to explain how much I loved it! Thank you so very much Becca for taking me!!

Lil Frei's (haha)

So Sara and her precious lil munchkins were in town for about a month off and on during September....IT WAS SO GREAT - had lots of fun with them! Klara & Cozette have changed so much seen I had seen them in July....I couldn't believe it! Klara has TONS of hair and Cozette is full of smiles and giggles - they are both such great babies! Sara was having Amy take some pictures of the girls together while they were here (no I can't take credit for the fab pics of the girls)....so I made them cute little PINK tutus!! I was so happy with how they turned out!! Also, Sara and I made some props for pictures....of course I think they turned out GREAT! We painted tires and found an old frame at the DI and repainted it with a vintage finish! :) It was fun! But here are a couple pictures of my 2 stinkin cute nieces... of course we didn't get any of us with Sara.. :( Sorry!! I just love them to pieces and wish they were closer...here were a couple of the pictures they shared with me! :)

I mean really? SO CUTE!!

Thanks for letting me be part of the FUN photo shoot with the lil girlies!! :)
