Why do people do this to animals??

Well, Halloween was here and Paul and I bought the dogs some costumes at Target. They are so cute!!! Lola was a pumpkin and Jett was a purple bat. They actually left them on for a while.

Utah

Will I have really never been to Utah. Everyone thinks that I have been there just because I am LDS. Not every LDS person has been there. My mom, sister and I went to Utah to visit my Aunt and her kids. They had just moved down from Oregon so now it is easier to see them. We had such a great time with them. There family is so much fun! We had movie night, craft night and then the 3rd night we were in Park City and hung out. It was fun! Park City is such a cute place. We went to the Olympic Park and went through the museum and also did the zip line down the mountain. That was fun. We actually got my mom to go down. She wanted to go back down the mountain but once you got up there the only way down was the zip line. She did it and had a great time.
We also went through the Salt Lake Temple which was so beautiful! Temple square was amazingly beautiful.
We had such a great time it was one of the best vacations I have been on!

Pioneer Day!

Today we had our Pioneer Day celebration out at the branch. Paul and I got called to a Native American branch out on the Gila Indian Community. His parents are also out there so that make things fun. We have about 20-30 people that attend the ward. It is fun. My calling's are 1st counselor in the YW and also the events chairman (everyone seems to have more than one calling). This morning we ate breakfast and then we played games outside. The little kids really like the water balloon toss. It was a blast. We then went inside and we told a few stories of what the Native American tribes used to do back in the olden days. It was interesting. When I get pictures back I will post a few.

New York City

I do not know why it has taken me a couple of weeks to put these pictures from New York. Paul and I got back a few weeks ago after spending a week in New York/Brooklyn visiting his cousin and his wife and seeing all of the sites. We had such a great time! We ha a great time walking around or maybe not so great, Paul was so tired. It was fun seeing all of the huge buildings. That town is so different than Phoenix. There are people everywhere and everyone walks everywhere. It is kind of cool and something that I could get used to. We had a great time spending time with Paul's cousins and getting to know them better. We stayed with them and it was great. They took us to all of the great local restaurants in there neighborhood and the food was great. They even got me to try sushi. That probably was not a good idea since it came up about an hour latter. :( Well at least I can say that I tried it. We also took a day trip to DC on the Am track and had a great time. Paul has never been and he loved it. It is a town that we will go back to because we did not have much time to see it all. It is a great place to visit with so much history and a great feel to it. My mom and sister also came with us on the trip and we all had a great time.

Great Friends!

I just got back from going to Flagstaff for a girls get together. We had such a great time! Some old friends and I from college got together after not seeing each other for years. We had such a great time talking about old times and the funny, crazy things that we did in college. It was like we were never apart. It is great to have friends that you have not seen or spoken to in years and when you come back together it is like you talked to each other every day. Great friends are hard to come by. Thank you for bringing your old photo albums Britt they brought back the old times.

"Do You Feel Lucky?"

Last weekend Paul and I went shooting with his Dad out in the desert by our house. We had a great time and we did pretty well. We love to take the guns out and go shoot at targets. Paul is a pretty good shoot and I am getting better. I even hit the bull’s eye this time! Check out the cows that were out there with us.

Out in Albuquerque

So this morning I woke up really earlier today to go to Albuquerque for work. We are doing some models out here for Beazer Homes. My sister and mom also came. It is nice when we can make a work trip into a family trip. We worked until about 9:30pm and started at 4:30am. It was a long day!!!
