Summertime....and the livin's easy...

Ok, ok, so it isn't summertime quite yet, but it was nice enough for flip flops and shorts, close enough in my book! We took advantage of the sunny day by going to the park with Yuki. She had a blast running around and playing fetch. She even had the guts to run over and start playing with another huge dog. It was nice to sit out in the sun!

She was trying to catch the grass that I was throwing up in the air

Let's hope the sunny weather is here to stay!

Horrible, rotten, no good, very bad...week

This week was a busy one...

We started co-ed volleyball and during our first games of the season Matt tore the soft tissue in his ankle...so he will be out for a while. We also found out Dan has kidney stones :( The doc gave him some medicine to help with the pain and infection. I just hope he can pass them on his own, and quickly! I

On a happier note, tonight was Fronk and Sammy's wedding and reception, they both looked very gorgeous and happy! When we got home, Yuki was so excited to see us that she peed all over the floor then somehow rolled in it, so, I decided to give her a much needed bath. She usually likes taking baths and will just lick the shampoo off of herself the entire time...that is until you get her head wet. She goes NUTS! This time she managed to escape me and jumped from the bath tub (soaking, sopping, WET) and run all over the house, drenching everything in her path, before I could catch her...

Kelee and me

Ha, this cracks me up...just ignore my gia-normous arms!

This is the look of defeat and submission...she wasn't too happy when we caught her and made her get back in the tub!

The haircut I have wanted since jr high....

...has finally been fulfilled! I have seriously wanted my hair cut in an A-line since I can remember, I just never dared because I wasn't sure if I could pull it off (I know...silly, right :) But I LOVE it! By far my favorite cut yet...the pictures don't do it justice.




Thanks Alisa, your the bomb!

Off Constantly

Dan played in the March Madness tourny down is St George this weekend. He had a lot of fun, and played really well...I guess he had five homeruns...or more, he honestly cannot remember! I sure missed him though so I am glad he came home safely!

When Dan got home he said, "I am kinda liking all this extra upper body weight...It's not good for basketball or tennis, but it's sure working for me in softball!"

Ha ha this was a comment left on one of Dan's pics on Facebook "was this the first homerun or the second or the third or the fourth, i cant even remember how many that kid had, next time dan goes there going to make him supply his own softballs cause he kept losing their's."

I'm so excited...

"Close your eyes, feel the sand beneath your toes, and the ocean tide wash over your feet..." can you feel it? Are you in Hawaii yet? Ha ha, that's what I felt like again when I found the sd card with our honeymoon pictures on it! It disappeared right after we got home from Hawaii, I was SO bummed! BUT last night I decided to get on the ball and organize our "junk drawer" and there it was! It was so fun to look through them and remember all the fun we had! I am going to post a few so I can remember in case I loose it again!

I was a natural :)

Dan wasn't too shabby either

At the Waikiki zoo

Dinner at the Poly Cultural Center, because we were there on our honeymoon we got to get up and dance in front of everyone

Our sweet tats

In front of the Waikiki temple

Pearl Harbor

At the ocean...I wish we would have gotten better pictures here, but we spent most our energy trying to keep me alive :)

I am not sure where this is, I think it was at a army museum by Pearl Harbor

Dan insisting on taking a picture of me, and me complaining about how freakin hot it was

Waiting for the fire show to start

Ooo la la :)

Game night

Last night was our turn to host game night, we had Tyson and Courtney, Casey and Kristi, and Ben and Brooke over. We played Catch Phrase, and by the end of the night we were all so tired that we were giving clues like, "its a blank, blank , and blank." The one that will live in infammy, though, goes to Daniel. Here was the clue he gave: "It's the opposite of cook your tomorrow." Hmm... Any guesses? "Make my day" was the actual phrase... ha ha that one will always give everyone a good laugh! There were so many other funny moments we laughed at, but I can't remember them all now. My camera died at the beginning of the night so I didn't get any good pictures of the action :( I did get a cute one of Casey and Kristi though.

Well, at least a cute one of Kristi :)

Pillow mania

I decided my living room was so blah...and it needed some color...I went looking for some pillows for the couches, and everything was so expensive! I decided to make my own...I paid $9 for the fabric, and $5 for the batting...i was able to make three pillows for $14! I love them, and plan on making three more red and two more brown for our other couch. I didn't make the brown ones, shown, but will be making the other two just like them!

Dan chillaxin'

Dinner with the gals

So...in honor of Amanda's fast approaching wedding, us girls went to Olive Garden. Prob not the best idea on a Friday night (we waited for about an hour to get seated), but it gave us more time to chat and catch up....Amanda, Jaci, and I were so close in high school (kareoke, lifetime original movies, shopping, oh the memories!) but now we are all married and just living different lives. It's hard to find time to get away from the hubby's but once ya do it's so worth it! We had a blast laughing and reminiscing about the good ol' days. I had forgotten just how funny Mcall and Jaci can be together! The food was delicious, but that's no surprise. Congrats Amanda, marriage is the best!

The long wait

Me, Jaci
Amanda, Mcall, Jaci, me

I'm a Lambog... blah blah blah

I'm a Lamborghini Murcielago!

You're not subtle, but you don't want to be. Fast, loud, and dramatic, you want people to notice you, and then get out of the way. In a world full of sheep, you're a raging bull.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

My aunt had this on her blog so I thought I would see which car I was....this might be more accurate if I actually had the car :)

Love is in the Air. . .

Our Valentine's day was so much fun! It was the best one yet. We started off the day by going out to breakfast at Denny's, yum! Then we went last-minute gift shopping, lounged around, and just enjoyed our day together. Later that night, we went to The Dessert Star Theater to see "Home School Musical"; we were on the very front row, close enough that at times I felt I was a part of the show, and wanted to belt out the songs right along with them "you gotta get ya get ya get ya head in the game" luckily, for all those in attendance, I refrained. (Misty, now that I have seen it, we definitely need to talk and laugh about it together!) Even Dan enjoyed it...and he was very skeptical! Our present to each other is a gym pass at Orem Rec to get back into shape, but he had to go above and beyond, and got me an MP3 player so I can jam while working out! Let's just say I returned the gift later that night :)

Flowers, of course! Three for our three valentines we have spent together.

Dan, I love you. You are such a blessing in my life, and I can't even imagine not having you there. You make me so happy, and I appreciate all you do for me. Thanks for a great day hun!

Weekend Fun

This past weekend was sure booked, but it was a lot of fun! Friday night I went out to dinner with my buddy Kenya, she is leaving on a miss soon, and so we had a gno to talk and celebrate her leaving! I am really proud of Kenya for all she has overcame and she will be a great missionary...assuming a handsome young man doesn't sweep her off her feet in the next two weeks. We had some great talks, and boy did we have quite a bit to catch up on! My seafood alfredo from The Olive Garden was delicious, as always.

Saturday Morning I went to Amanda Page's bridal shower. She finally jumped on the marriage band wagon like the rest of us! She played the game where you answer questions about your fiance and if you get them wrong you have to stick a marshmallow (or sometimes a piece of gum) in your mouth...she did pretty good, but still got stuck with quite a mouthful! It was fun to see and visit with her and her family though because we don't really any more.

Who else looks this good with a mouthful of jumbo marshmallows?!

Saturday night we had a surprise birthday party for my sisters Jessie and Alisa, they were genuinly surprised, and we all had a lot of fun. Sunday...not quite as much fun. I was sick for the most part of the day, but am feeling much better today, and very much looking forward to this weekend as well!

Singing happy birthday to Alisa

Jess blowing out her candles

Tennis, our favorite past-time

So...like owner like pet. Dan and I spent our afternoon playing tennis, it was a great chance for me to let out some built up frustrations, and get some exercise! We have earned the nickname "Jensonovich's" on the court. When we got home, we let Yuki out, and she immediately went to her squeaky tennis ball. She loves the thing...now if we could just get her to use the racket.

Chasing the ball after Dan threw it.

Her ball tends to find its way under the couch, and she goes nuts trying to get to it. (notice all the scrath marks on the wood...not there before she was).

VICTORY!

2009 Calendar

My sister Kelee made me a 2008 calendar last year, it was really cute! This year I decided to make my own, she did come over to help with me it though! It took a lot longer than it looks like, but I think it turned out pretty cute, considering it's my first time taking on a project of this kind! These are some of my favorite months:
