So I'm behind with my blogging but finally found an evening to blog. This will be a compile of pictures from a few weeks ago :)

Lincoln has been busy with fighting fires this year so when we have a few minutes together we like to relax and enjoy that little time. A couple days before he left for Texas again we went to the Fillmore canyon. I read my book and Lincoln took a nap on the picnic table. He snapped this photo of me...

I took one of him...
While I was reading, this little guy was stealing cheetos from the fire pit. Ha ha I totally caught him in this picture. He was super cute and fat :)
Then after a boring pic of just sitting there I decided to start jumping off the bench. It was actually really fun and made for some fun pictures.

Becky, Dewey, Kyler, Lincoln, Me, Emilee and Dave all went to Lagoon. We got free lunch thanks to Dick's work. And thanks to his work, we got in free! Yay! It was a blast and I'm really glad we were able to go. This is the only picture I got...all the others are on Dave's camera.

After Lagoon we went to a Real Salt Lake Soccer game. This is the second time I have been and it is really a blast. I like that good seats are not expensive so we are able to sit really close. I hope I learn the players names soon so that it can be even more entertaining :)

Kyler, Dewey, Lincoln, and Me!

Becky and Dick!

The boys in their gear This last weekend I went to Cousin's sleepover and Oak City Days. It was really fun too and exciting to see all the cousins! I will post pics of that later. (most of them are on my mom's camera)

School starts next week! aaah....am I ready for my last semester?! Guess I will have to be!

kitties, swimming, flowers, and some good news!

Our Kitties got spayed and neutered a week ago. They did really good. Nikki just had a little lump where her surgery was done but they both were back to jumping and running around the next day. As soon as the pain meds kicked in though, they slept REALLY well :)

Nikki above....Tupac below
Bobbie and Ryan invited me to come swimming with the twins and Kaylin. I was all for it! I don't make it swimming as often as I would love to, so I said yes right away. (Even bought a new suit for the occasion) We went to a fun pool in Provo that had a deeper pool and a kiddie play pool. Evan and Ash loved the water! Kaylin loved going down the big slides with Ryan!

I tried helping the kids with floating and blowing bubbles. Evan blowed bubbles really well...Ash drank the water...and Kaylin was worried that her face would go underwater, but she did blow bubbles a couple of times :) Evan loved floating on his tummy...Ash would rather be in the floaty...and Kaylin did really well for how nervous she got. I know with some time Kaylin will be floating on her own!

All done swimming!

I went to the Dentist today and when I got home Lincoln had got me some roses! They are from Ecuador and so so so pretty! I will take another pic when they fully bloom.

and for some awesome news...I made it into Beta Alpha Psi! Last semester I didn't qualify but applied again for the fall semester and got the email today that I made it! I have a lot of friends from school that are already in it and also some more that made it in this fall semester with me. I'm really happy for this opportunity and can't wait for the meetings, tutoring, and all the other awesome stuff to jump start my career as an accountant!

The cats and a card

What's a blog post without pics of my brats :) I finally got a picture of Tupac doing the "truck-driver". When we are just hanging out in the evenings, Tupac will go chill in the cat toy and look so cute chillin out. Got this pic the other day...precious babies sleeping!

I pulled out my cardmaking supplies and Nikki decided to help out...play with ribbon :)

This is the card I came up with after getting inspiration from the card on pg. 108 of the new book. I thought I had the butterfly stamp set but then remembered that I had borrowed it from Bobbie and didn't have it anymore. I know that she would have gladly let me borrow it again but I went ahead and just used one that would work.

and I was playing around with the camera on my phone and snapped this pic in negative effect...random....but it looked cool so i will share.

School starts in a month!!!AAAAHHH! I think I'm ready but I just know that it's going to be hard!

I think I need a bigger Kitty bed...

Last weekend fun

Last weekend Lincoln and I went to Transformers 3 at the IMAX theatre in Jordan Commons. It was a really fun experience....IMAX screen, 3D, and a good action movie. We ate dinner at Texas Roadhouse...super yummy. Their rolls are amazing!

gap savings

I had the day off today so Wendy and I decided to go to the mall for something to do...
This is where I stumbled across a SALE at Gap. I had a $10 gift certificate so decided to look around. The sale was 50% off the marked down price. I walked out of there with a summer dress, a skirt, and two tanktops for $37! We took a look at the original price (if I would have bought these items not on sale)---$180. That's a $143 savings!
What a nice day to go to the mall :)

crazy animals

Before I tell you about the kitties, here is what Jerrica and I made the other day. We went to Hobby Lobby--after Emily told me about buying her bows there I decided I wanted to check it out. What a wonderful store! We were looking for some cute summer craft that we could make that afternoon. This was really simple to make; everything was a sticker and then just tie the bow.
Now for the crazy animals! I have noticed I call them animals more often than I call them my babies ha ha! They drive me nuts sometimes...right now I'm counting down the hours till they take their nap :)
While doing some card making I look up to see Tupac exploring. A couple days ago I walked in to find all my ribbon had been unrolled...this day he just wanted to see what was in the little jars.

Lincoln's Grandma Anne bought me this cute little fountain/waterfall thing. I love it! and the cats do too. She wrote on the little card that she thought the cats would think it was neat and they sure did! Every once-in-awhile I will put it on the ground so they can check it out. The vet told me that cats like fresh water and that they even make cat water dishes as these fountain/waterfall things because the cats will drink more water. Tupac drinks from the top really good but Nikki is curious as to where the water is going so she will put her little paw inside and swat the water.

This is what happens when you leave a cup of water sitting on the floor :) You can't do anything without them wanting to get in it.

The saying "curiousity killed the cat" is so very true! I'm finding this to be true more and more every day. We keep our closet doors shut and as soon as we open them, the cats come running. When you open the cupboards in the kitchen, they come running. When you flush the toilet, they come running! aah I can't wait for fat lazy cats that sleep all day :) Until then, I will post pics of all the funny stuff my crazy animals do.
