Watching Little Miss Mae

Last week Jess called me and asked if I could watch Emry while she went to the dentist... Of course I said yes and was so excited to spend some time playing with my favorite baby girl... BUT seeing as Little Miss Mae has an agenda all her own, this is what she did the ENTIRE TIME I was there to watch her! Ha just my luck :) but isn't she cute while she sleeps?!?!

Any Ideas?

Hello everyone! Yes we are still alive... I have just been a huge slacker on posting! Not a whole lot going on with us, just work and getting ready to go back to school. Kevin recently had his very last doctor's appointment for his leg. He is now fully healed for the most part. Now it is time to start looking into the possibility of getting the 2 screws taken out. As for me I have just been working... Not sure what to do about the whole job thing. As the kids that I watch get older I have started wondering how much longer my job will go on. I am thinking that I need to start looking into new job opportunities. The only thing that I worry about is that being a nanny for almost 3 years has not given me much to brag about on a resume!!! SO I have decided to open my dillema to all my faithful friends (meaning you!!!) Does anyone have any ideas for me??? If so PLEASE let me know!

And I'm Off!!!

Tomorrow night I will be getting on a plane and heading to the BIG APPLE!!! My little sister McCall has a dance convention so I am going to keep my Mom company while Call is in all of her classes. I am very excited to be going, BUT I am also sad at the same time... this will be the longest that Kevin and I have been apart in our short 9 and a half months of marriage. He is excited for me to get away and have a break from crazy life and work, and he ensures me that he will be fine but I am still sad to be leaving him. I mean it's not like I will be gone for just a couple of days, I won't be back until next Saturday. So anyone reading this, and who has the time and his number, please check in on my poor husband! Remind him that there are prepared meals in the freezer and all he has to do is follow the directions written on top! :) And remind him that I will MISS HIM SO MUCH!

Vegas!!!

We went to Las Vegas last weekend for Dan and Marti's wedding, and a little bit of a vacation! We had a really great time... It was great to get out of town and have a little break! We stayed at the Luxor Hotel, it was pretty nice, we just had to walk pretty far to get to some things. Here are a bunch of pictures from our very fun, but much too short trip.

We went to Fremont Street on Friday night. They had a really cool light show and lots of good music.

Me and the airheaded Yellow M&M

Kevin with the sexy, Green M&M.

At the M&M Megastore they had this background of Vegas...

Me with the giant Egyptian guy that was at the entrance of our hotel.

One of our taxi rides. This was the first time that I had ever been in a taxi... Let me tell you these drivers DO NOT mess around! You tell them where to go and THEY GO!!! Brett is up in the front, he recently broke his foot and got to be pushed everywhere in a wheel chair... or as we called it, his stroller!!!

Kevin and me at the wedding. It was held in a really pretty garden, next to a beautiful lake. It was a beautiful day and the wedding turned out great!

The girls and the bride... Erin, Jamee, Megan, Marti, Jamie and Cassidy

The boys and the groom... Marcus, Kevin, Brian, Dan, Brett and Brandon

This guy was pretty cool to watch... All painted up with silver paint.

The famous Margaritaville nachos

On the way home... He had so much fun and was so tired!!! :)

Look who's back on the bike!!!

So, Sunday was Kevin's first day back on the bike after he broke his femur back in February. He promised me that he wouldn't ride until May, and he definitely held true to his promise, (kind of surprising I know! ha ha) We arrived at the Tooele track around Noon and didn't leave until about 4! It was a long day and he definitely got his fill of riding. He was so excited to ride again and he did so well! I was very proud of how careful he was his first couple of laps around, and then he picked it up and even jumped the 90 footer! It is amazing to me that after such a long break from riding, and a surgery he got back on and looked just like he had never left! I must admit that I was a little nervous at first, but once I saw him take off I was so excited for him, and that he was back doing what he loves to do... I was a little hard to pick him out from the other riders because he looks so different, the numbers are gone from his bike, and he is in different gear, which is now red and white instead of dark grey, and he is in a different helmet as well. (His old helmet and gear didn't make it through the wreck!) I is great to see him back on the bike! It is proof that he is getting better, and has made a very impressive recovery!

Supercross

Last weekend we got to go to Rice Eccles Stadium for Supercross. It was so much fun, even though it was freezing and rainy, every single race had a really great battle going on! And of course in the 450 Main BUBBA STEWART WON! It set everything up perfectly for Vegas where he once again took the number 1 plate! Way to go Bubba! Kevin got to meet quite a few riders and was very excited about that! Here are a few pics from our fun filled Saturday...

KEvin with Mike Metzger... One of the greatest freestyle riders, and also one of the nicest guys in the sport!!!

Kevin and his favorite racer... Yes this is the James "Bubba" Stewart... Once again the holder of the #1 red plate!!! (That means he's the best!)

Ryan Villopoto from behind, getting ready to head out to practice. He actually took first place in Vegas, Kevin says he is going to be really good in the outdoors this year, so we'll see!!!
