Good day for a Field Trip

Wednesday morning we decided to take a trip to the beach. Jake and Clay are getting a little burned out of work so they needed a little fun :)
We headed down to Galveston, about an hour long drive from where we are in Houston. I was expecting a beach more like California or at least blue water...i was wrong...its pretty brown. And there was a dead rat right next to us...gross. But the water was warm so I can't complain :)
Before heading home we got some lunch at this place called "The Spot", it was pretty good little burger joint. They had very good lemonade. Maybe it's because i drank so much salt water...:) haha. I would like to go there one more time before we head back to Utah and spend more than a couple hours there to get some sun :)

                                                           Here's us a Galveston Beach :)

We kept feeding the Seagulls Pirates Booty. They catch it right out of the air. It was pretty funny to watch.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Monday July the 25th was my daddy's birthday, so I decided to surprise him as a present for him :) I bought my plane ticket about a month in advance, and had my family keep it a secret. My brother Bo picked me up from the airport on Friday because my parents were driving home from Lake Powell at the time. Bo was watching their dogs while they were away so they had to stop by and get them on the way back...perfect right?! As my parents pulled up in the drive way, I ran around back through the side gate and yelled "SURPRISE!!". My dad was VERY surprised, and happy. I thought that would be a good birthday present for him :)
We had a fun weekend just hanging out and playing games together. Poor nephew Brody was sick with a temperature of 105F all weekend though. Bo and Clairissa had a family reunion down in Colorado Springs over the weekend, so Bo stayed home with Brody to take him back and forth to the doctors to get his shots while Clairissa and Chloe went down to the springs with the fam. And we kept Bo and sick Brody company :)
I slept so good this past weekend...I miss my old bed :) But I sure did miss sleeping next to my husband.
Here are some pictures from this weekend :)

                                                       Me and my crazy niece Chloe :)

                  Chloe took this picture :) I think she's going to be a photographer when she grows up.

                                       Me and my fat Kitty :) I love him and his fat rolls. haha.

                                       And here's my brother's dog Tonka. He's a good dog :)

First Blog Ever. :)

So today I decided to write my first blog post! Exciting right?! :) Well let me just tell you whats been going on in our lives since we've been married. 

Jake and I have been married for almost 3 months now, feels a lot longer though really :) but in a good way. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. :) 

The day after our wedding we hopped on a plane to Cancun, Mexico at 6:00am spent 5 AMAZING days in Playa Del Carmen just laying on the beach and soaking up the sun. We got back around 1:00am at SLC airport then rolled into good 'ole Fillmore about 3:30am. We were both very tired to say the least. The next morning we opened all our wedding presents as if it were Christmas morning! Karen made us pancakes for breakfast while we packed up the truck, which were delicious by the way :) After that we started our LONG trip down to Houston, Texas for the summer. We stopped and stayed at my parents house in Colorado for 2 nights then rolled into Houston after that. 

Jake has been working very hard down here to make some money for us, while I stay home and have dinner ready every night when we comes home. Good deal to me :) I kept busy for the first couple weeks just writing thank you cards till my hand cramped up, and hanging out by the pool with the other sales guys wives :) hard life, i know. haha. But I'll be the working one in the fall when we get back, so I don't feel too bad. 

We don't get to play all that often, but we got to go to Fillmore for the 4th of July weekend and spend time with all his siblings and their families which was fun. It was good to be out of the Texas heat. :) I get to go home to Colorado this weekend for my daddy's 51st birthday so I am pretty excited about that! Shh, don't tell him though it's a surprise ;) 

That's it for now though, I will put pictures up soon and more posts to come!
