On June 10th 2011 We had out 3rd annual girls trip to the cabin in Prescott Arizona. We had a small group of just 5 this year. With camp and vacations happening at the same time it made for a smaller group. We still had a lot of fun with each other. We ate every meal out except for breakfasts. As usual we had fits turning on the cabins water but I think I will acutally remember how to do it next time, well, I will know how to tell someone how to do it! There are spiders and bugs under that cabin! ;-) On Saturday Shelley, Cammi, Bethany, Jessica and I went to Wild Flower for lunch and then to Joanns to find material to decorate Jessicas babies nursery. Jessica bought some really cute material. Bethany and Cammi are going to help Jessica with her nursery. They are such great cousins to each other, I love it!! We all had a fun day together. We had dinner at Texas Road house where this picture was taken. What cute girls! Afterwards we went to Target, I bought the movie Just Go With It, that is the very first movie that Jack and I saw on our very first date. We finished the evening with a trip to Jacks house so Shelley, Bethany and Cammi could see where he lives. We thought about doing a TP job to his house and truck but I guess he read our minds and said now No TPing my house girls! It was a fun weekend. I cannot wait for next years girls weekend. I wonder if I will be married by then? HMMM!! I think I will be, I love that man and guess what! He loves me too!! What a lucky girl I am! And he is a lucky man because I have a lot of love to give. He is such a handsome man I am proud to call him mine.

Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood, we have only 206 in our bodies.

Another uselesss fact that I have found, but what happens to these bones?!!

I am a young Grandma Courtney!

I have taken Courtney to McDonalds twice this week, so on the way home today I asked her if she is going to ever take me to McDonalds, she said, yes Grandma I will when I am a teenager if you are still alive. She said I was just born in 2004 so I don't think you will be alive. Gee I guess I am out of here in 6 years? I don't think so Courtney, so McDonalds it is, Chicken nugget kids meal with a girl toy please!

Camping in the Sedona Pines

This last Sunday through Tuesday Jack,DeAnna,Josh,Lexi,Hailey,Joe,Sherry,Scott,Anna Marie and I went camping in Sedona at Spring Cave campground in the beautiful Sedona pines. We had a great time. It was so relaxing, I have never been one to go camping but I really enjoyed myself. Having all the correct equipment makes for an enjoyable time. Joe made us cinnamon rolls and cherry cobbler in his dutch oven, it was so good! We had the best smores, melting the hersheys bar is the answer to a wonderful smore! YUM!! Sounds like all we did was eat sweets. We grilled hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken but I think the desserts were the biggest hit! I loved laying on the cot out under the cool pines as we all visited with one another. Taking a nap in the camper with the windows open, oh my goodness, a little heaven on earth! I got cold the first night so the next night we set the heater to go on a little more often. I went the whole time without a shower! WOW! Not like me at all!! Baby wipes, I love you! We took bikes, Anna took a hard fall on Monday afternoon, her and Scott had to go home early. She was a mess and was in so much pain. She went to urgent care, she had a broken elbow, a chipped eye socket and a sprained foot. Her face was so torn up, and several wounds to her body. Some young boys found her and ran to our campsite. All the men ran to her aid. Other than that bad accident we all had a good time together. Josh and DeAnna went to Dairy Queen and brought us all back a tasty treat. I really enjoyed my time with Jack, I adore this man!! He makes me laugh and is so good to me. We love being together. I have to go home on Saturday, I don't like leaving Jack but at the same time I miss my family, I will be so happy when we can all be together some day. Right now I am sitting in his garage with everyone while Jack and Josh work on their man stuff. :-) It is beautiful up here in Prescott, It is 72 degrees on June 16th. NICE!!

This is Jack's home in Prescott. He built and landscaped it. He did a wonderful job,its a very pretty home. He is a very talented man! And I love him!!

Jack has 2 granddaughters. When they are out with us people think they are twins, they don't look a lot alike but they are 12 months and 2 weeks apart. Lexi is 3 and Hailey is 2. Hailey was born on Jacks 52nd birthday. Their mommy DeAnna does a wonderful job with their hair everyday!

Audrey turned 6!! I bought her the cutest purple dress and it looks so cute on her! Her parents bought her a guitar, its purple too!

Audreys Cheer Competition

Audrey had her first cheer competition today. It was so cute. 4,5 and 6 year olds competing! She did a great job. All the girls received a gold and pink trophy. Her team came in 5th place, they were given a metal. Afterwards we celebrated at Garcias.

Easter

I went to the Easter Pagent with Jack and his daughters,it was an enjoyable evening. Afterwards we had dinner at Applebees. Kareokee at 24th Street and Baseline at 11:00 at night, we had some good laughs. The next day was Easter so we all went to church together. After church all of Jacks kids and my kids came over to my house for our Easter lunch. Everyone met each other, it was great! My kids like Jack and his kids like me. But whats not to like about Jack, what a fun, great man he is!! We had a Easter egg hunt for the kids and Jack set up his tent for the girls to play in. What a hit! I make a birthday Cake for Jessica and Tricia. Jessica turned 26 on April 23rd and Tricha turned 24 on the 22nd. So they blew out the candles ( that wouldn't stay lit) together. We pretended for a cute picture! The day was a total success as we all had a lot of fun together. Jack showed us all how Roxy (DeAnnas dog) was probably walking around at home in Prescott because they were not home to let her out to go potty, pretty funny stuff Jack! Such a comedian! And a cute one at that!

4 California trips

Between April 2010 and March 2011 I went to California 4 times. The first trip was with my sister Shelley. Just the 2 of us flew over and went to Disneyland/California Adventure for 3days of fun! It was a great trip. In June I went with Jessica, Tommy and Carlee to Disneyland and the ocean, I have already posted about that trip, it was alot of fun. In December I went with Jarrad, Pauline and Audrey to Santa Barbara, Solvang and then to Disney land and the ocean. I really enjoyed that trip. In March I went again with Jessica and her family to SeaWorld. I really have enjoyed going on trips with my kids.

OH WHAT FUN!!!!!!

The second week of April Jack and I went to the dunes with his youngest daughter Tricia, his good friends Joe, Sherry and their son Marty, his wife Melissa and 2 year old son Cole. We had a BLAST!!! We went to the Coral Pink Dunes in Utah. They are beautiful!! I have really never gone quading before so this was my first experience. I had so much fun. I have to say it was the funnest thing I have ever done in my life!! We were there from Saturday to Tuesday. When we arrived on Saturday there was about 4 inches of snow. It was cold!! Each day it got warmer and the snow melted. They told me I looked like I had been on quads before as I looked like I knew what I was doing. I did not know what I was doing! I just followed Jack for the most part knowing that he wouldn't take me somewhere that would be dangerous. Of course he went on some very high dunes where I wouldn't follow I would just stay on the lower part of it and have fun. By our last ride he had me to the top of one of the highest dunes there. He told me he would be totally impressed if I went down where he went down, so of course I just had to impress him so down I went!! FUN!! For the most part we had all the dunes to ourselves. Very few people were there. One lady had to be air evaced out,she broke her pelvis. I am sure it was all pretty dangerous but to me it was just fun!! When Jack and I first met he talked about how he loved to camp and quad and I said OH GREAT!!! That is not me!! Well I guess it is now!! :-) I went two days and one night without a shower. WOW!! He has definetly seen me plain Jane and he still likes me so we are good! I am ready to go again, the plan is to do it again in September. I cannot wait! I am sure the fastest I went was 30 to 35 miles per mile but it felt like I was going at least 70! I am looking forward to doing things like this with Jack, what a great way to help build a relationship, doing things together that we love! Jack I love you! Thank you for showing me that I can have fun if I will just let go!!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

In the middle of February I started talking to a nice man on ldsplanet.com. For the first few days we talked just a little bit in messages. I decided that I would like to talk to him on the phone. So the forward person that I can be, I asked him if he would like to talk on the phone and his reply was, Not right now ok? Well, impatient me wrote him the next day and said, here is my number, call me if you decide you would like to! HAHA 30 minutes later my phone rings, it was him. Jack and I talked for 2 hours, he told his kids this, BABYIMAWANTYOU (my username) from LDSPLANET.COM is kinda aggresive, I don't know about her, I think I might delete her. The next night he calls, we talk for 2 more hours, The next night he calls we talked for 3 hours. The next night, Friday night, he calls and we talk for 4 hours. We decided we would like to meet. When he hung up he told his kids, I am going to meet her!! His son-in-law says, Oh my gosh!! You want to meet BABYIMAWANTYOU??!!! Isn't she kind of too agressive for you? He said, Yes she is but I think I like it!! We met Saturday after talking just 4 times on the phone. Jack took me out to dinner and to a movie, we saw a great love story!! We had so much fun together!!! I liked this man on the phone and then when I opened the door he had me at Hello!! He is adorable to me, He is 6'2" and I love it!! A TALL man, I have always wished for a tall man, it took me to man #3, but I got him!! ;-) He said he fell for me on Sunday as he sat in church with me and loved every minute of it. He loves my smile, he tells me I am pretty and he likes my laugh and how we make each other laugh. I love his personality and his great sense of humor! We just click, we feed off of each others sense of humors and it is so much fun!! I love the kind of dad that he is to his kids, so far he treats my kids so kindly and with much respect. He is very kind to me and treats me with respect. He likes my cooking, uh oh! I better start liking to cook again!! So far I have met his 2 daughters and am going to meet his son real soon I hope. Yes I think BABYIMAWANTYOU and ARIZONA54 are falling in love!

What a cute family!!

Jarrad,Pauline and their kids had their pictures taken earlier this month. They had 71 pictures turn out great!
