Memorial Weekend... Colorado!!

This last weekend we went to Greeley, CO to visit Darren and Brenda. Brice and Laura were able to come!!! We had SOOOOOOOOOOO much fun. We played a lot of rock band too!! Thanks so much for everything Darren and Brenda!! Funniest weekend ever!!

Thanks for the use of your tie Brice :)

I love Steve... we were in the back of big red on our way home from Rocky Mountain National Park... See Brenda's Blog for more pics...

I left my camera on the couch and this is the 3 recordings of silliness

I found later...

The butt dance...

Darren's impression of Brice dancing and busting into the worm at a singles dance...

On Saturday night, Steve and I also got to go over to the Bluemel's to see my brother (who is working in Denver) and our family friends. We played games, watched Fire Proof, and had arm wrestling contests. Here are the contestants...

Steve was really tired driving home (we had some FUN late nights), so I took over when we got to Rawlins. He fell asleep so I had to get a picture because he says I am always falling asleep while he is driving. I know it is his 1 to my many, but I had to have proof!!!

BTW, I was ROTFL making this post!!!

Bump, Set, Spike

Andrea, Ruth, Colette, and Janet

Team pictures...too funny! We had our last volleyball game tonight. We have been playing every Monday night since January. We played 6v6 and then also played in the 4v4 league afterwards. The picture is missing 2 of our original (6) team members. Thanks for everything; I will miss all of you!! Lander competitive league volleyball was a blast!!!! Good luck playing grass volleyball... wish I could be there to play with all of you :)

Casey Family Fun

This weekend the Casey family met at Brent and Lindsay's house for Paige's baby blessing this weekend. On the way there we were driving behind a guy from South Dakota and this was this personalized license plate. I made Steve get real close for a picture... this is for you Brenda!! We found a good one and wanted to share.

We we had fun visitng and the girls were very excited to show everyone their new princess pajamas :-)

Saturday morning we went golfing. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun!

My parents cat had kittens... they are soooo cute. I love baby kittens. It is a funny story actually! My brother-in-law brought 2 cats to my parent’s house to help with the mice, etc. My dad thought they were 2 male kittens like Cory had said they were, but guess not. One was a female and just had kittens... too funny.

After golfing, we all drove to Powell to visit Trevor and Trish and see their new house. It is so nice!! Cloe fell asleep on the ride over. I just couldn't resist taking the pic.

Brent and Paige were quick to fall asleep once we got to Powell and finished eating lunch. Awwwwww!

Uncle Darren and Brent wrestling with all the kids!

Brinley tried on Steve's fire hat. She looks so cute!

We had a great dinner at Brent and Lindsay's Saturday night. The hamburgers were awesome Lindsay! Doug and Erica and my parents came over for dinner also. It was really great... thanks for everything Lindsay!

Later some of us went to the Jensen's house for a Rock Band party. Boy does their family know how to rock out!!! Look at Wes... he has the moves.

Thanks everybody... it was a really fun weekend!!!

STEEP Hill... COOL Cave

Up Sinks Canyon there is a cave I told Steve I wanted to hike up to when we first moved here. We just haven't gotten to it either becuase we were busy fishing and didn't have time once we were done or Steve didn't want to :-) After school today, we were going up the canyon to hike a trail we love to walk and decided to hike to the cave!! Thanks Steve for coming with me... your the best!!!!


The cave is hard to see in this picture, but it is up there a ways for sure :-)

We threw a rock into the cave a ways back so we didn't come up to any cave dwelling animals. We did see some bats though.

There is our car... the little white speck down below!!

This is our new vehicle... We have had it for a couple months. It's a Dodge Journey. We love a good lookin' crossover!!

Happy Mother' s Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms, Grandma's, and future Mom's!!!

Saturday morning I decided to get up early and drive to Rock Springs to surprise Steve! He had Saturday off so I thought it would be fun to hang out for a day. We went and looked at houses to buy and places to rent. We also went to a movie called 17 Again. I think Zac Efron is sooooo cute!! It was a cute show. Then we went to Sonic during happy hour and got fruit shushes. I love Sonic happy hour :) Later on we also went out to dinner with Curt and Cathy in Rock Springs and had fun visiting with them.

I was going to head back Sunday morning to Lander because Steve had to work and about 8:30 he called and invited me to a Mother's Day breakfast him and the guys were going to make for their families. One of the guys had it all planned; so anyways I didn't go home right away :) They did a great job and we all had a fun time. I really enjoyed meeting everyone. I am going to like living there. We have all the firemen and their wives on the lookout for the perfect home for us in the prefect location... they are too funny! Firemen have connections like nobody's business. They are learning quickly we are cheap though :)

We were all glad the alarm didn't go off during the wonderfully planned breakfast and the guys got to stay the whole time. At about 12:30 the alarm went off and there they went, but they had gotten the place cleaned up and everything before they had to leave. It worked out really well.

Wyoming Fans??

What do you think? I think so :) Steve and I were going to eat lunch together today and ran into this car when we were driving down the street. Thought I would share... too funny!! I love it!

Pistol Pete is looking good!!!

A couple weekends ago we went to Greybull and got to ride my parents horse Nina...

We also got to see Lindsey and the girls and all went to Doug and Erica’s!! It was so fun!! We also got to hang with my little brother Mike. He is done with another semester at BYU and is now working in Denver for the summer. All the pics are on my new cell phone and I haven't figured out how to get the pics transferred... I will though!!

Steve went back to Rock Springs today :( He was home Mon. and went back today. It hardly felt like I got to see him because he was home during the week and I have to work, but that is how it goes. I love having him home and hate to see him go, but he is loving his new job!!

Confession

I use warm/hot water to brush my teeth… it has to be warm or the bubbles don’t sud enough in my mouth.

I have to have my back tickled at night in order to go to sleep… otherwise I just lay there and can’t relax enough to go to sleep; my mind just races… I love you Steve; you’re the best husband in the WORLD!!!

I love to sing and dance around the house when I am the only one home.

I was the "sexy wink" champion in high school. My friends and I had a competition and I laugh at all the time we put into practicing for the big event. We had judges and a scoring rubric too … way too funny. My brother got 2nd... the talent must run in the family :-) I have never laughed so hard in my life!!!!!

I love Pink (the singer not the color).
"So what... I am a rockstar; I got my rock moves...

"I am a hoodie sister… meaning I love hooded sweatshirts… I AM OBSESSED!!! Who else is a hoodie sister with me???!!

In our spare time together, Steve and I practice perfecting the worm.

I have what I call Fact of the day and tell Steve and some of my friends.I love finding out the really weird, random, and funny facts that are out there…. Did you know that a cockroach can live 9 days after his head has been cut off??!!

I can’t stand a messy house. Dishes in the sink, clothes on the floor, mail/paper on counters and table, and shoes randomly all over the house especially bug me.

I think everyone resembles an animal and I love picking everyone’s animal out for them (it isn’t mean… it is just the truth; we all resemble one of the animals out there in the world). Steve has gotten into helping me at times. I have met people and when I find out they do the same thing I get a kick out of it!! Lately, I have been so busy I haven’t done it in a while. I am going to need to bring that game back. It is fun!!! Brenda Casey… are you with me (I think you would be good at this game)?? !!

I love Nike Shocks!!

I love black coats… I love colors too, but a black coat is always looks more classy!!

I totally jam out to music (singing and using the steering wheel as my drum) when I am driving in my car.

I LOVE new socks… they just make the day all better!!!!

I love to sit and read a good book… this just happened a year ago. I really never read for fun before. I was missing out!!

I have picked my nose while sitting at a stop light and was totally embarrassed when I noticed the people in the car next to me cracking up and laughing at me. I know I’m not the only one who has ever done it. Stop lights bread nose pickers :-) To prove this,when I was visiting my sister Tami( when she lived in Ft. Collins), we decided to keep track. By the end of the weekend when I left, we were at 64 and counting!!!!
