I know...I know...I need to update: ha ha! things have just been soooo crazy! :-S Ken and I had a blast over this past conference weekend. We left the Thursday before and stayed the night in Vegas. My uncle who lives there was since to give us tickets to the show STOMP! It was incredible and SO MUCH FUN!! THANK YOU BEN!!! :-) Then Friday we headed up to Utah and stayed with my grandparents. We went to the Saturday morning session. It was amazing and so neat to get to see the new apostle called! :-) The talks were so sweet. The spirit was so strong! It was also fun to visit with family and with one of Ken's companions from his mish and his wife. They are such a fun couple! :-) Overall it was such a FUN weekend!

***LIGHTING THE LAMP***

Yay!! So I have officially been inducted into the nursing program!! WOOHOO!! They held a ceremony in honor of all the incoming nursing students. The dean spoke along with others on the board. It was so fun to have my sweet, wonderful husband and all of my family there to cheer me on! After the beautiful ceremony we went to Red Lobster to celebrate!

Science RULES!! :-D

Ken and I had a fun day at the Arizona Science Center with my little brother and my mom! The featured exhibit was CSI Bug Scene! It was very neat! We had a fun time visiting all the different exhibits! I think one of Ken and my favorite things to do was race in the wheelchairs! Needless to say, I won!! haha! Well, with a bit of a head start!

GONE COUNTRY!!!

My hubby and I went to the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill "Soul 2 Soul" concert! It was absolutely amazing! What a fun and great show! We had an awesome time singing and dancing to all the songs! Ken had bought these amazing 8th row seats for my b-day! It was the best concert I'd ever been to!

Out On the River

We've been having tons of fun taking kayaks down the river! It is great exercise and probably the best way to get a tan!! :-D Here's some pics from our adventures on the Salt River!

**D-Backs Game**

Root Root Root for the D-Backs!!! :-D What a fun game!! Friends of Ken's family gave us their 4 tickets to Monday night's game! We decided to give the extra two tickets to my parents. We ended up winning 4-3!! Woot! Woot! Awesome game!! GOOOOO D-BACKS!!

Out To Dinner!!

Friday night my love and I went out to dinner with some friends! It was so much fun! We went to this neat mexican restaurant called Abuelo's! It was soooo yummy! Ken and I both got HUMONGOUS chimichangas! And they had some awesome chips and salsa! After dinner Ken and I headed to see the new movie Hairspray! Haha...oh what a random movie! It was funny at first to see John Travolta dressed as the mom, but as the movie went on it just got a little weird! :-S I guess we'd rate it maybe 2 out of 5 stars! :-D I love going out with my hubby!

My Little Brother, Kevin's, Baptism!!

My immediate family, plus Kevin's friend! :-D

This last Saturday we went to my little brother's baptism! I can't believe he's already 8! He looked so cute all dressed in white. Ken and my older brother, Cody, were the witnesses while my dad performed the baptism. It was a very sweet experience. I went up to little Kevers afterwards and asked him how he felt. He said, "Good!" hehe! Congratulations little cutie! We are soooo proud of you and we love you!

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to our new blog!! :-D
