Lake Mead

Last April, my brother Aaron and his family moved to Henderson, NV. My other brother Curtis and his family live in Vegas and we thought it'd be fun to take an early boating trip to Lake Mead and visit family! So we headed down, in the first part of May. Andrew and Melissa came with us! We took a boat ride over to Hoover Dam. The weather was so nice, it was so fun to sit and enjoy the scenery!

Andrew and Kate

We found some ducks, and thought it'd be fun to feed them. We found out they don't like EZ cheese! Then we left and went on a drive, about 5 or 6 miles away. We stopped to hang out again, and after a while, guess who showed up? That's right! The ducks! They had found us! We were so happy and stunned, so we feed them some more!

Andrew and Melissa

Don't worry! We made sure to stop at the Green Valley Buffet! Oh it was the best! I love to get one of everything and taste them all!

Photo Shoot

About a month ago, my very talented friend Aubrey Taiese did a shoot for us. We love how they all turned out. Aubrey really has the eye and talent for this. She started a business not long ago, and has already had amazing success! It's a very great thing to find your true passion in life! Here are some ( lots) that we love!!! Her web site is aubphotography.blogspot.com

Tribal Jewelry

My sister has some new jewelry, and I'm obsessed! It's fun and different, and a great way to accessorize! Her web site is tribaljewelryunlimited.com Here are a few I love, but there are many more!

Just Some Spring-ing!

The girls in my family had a baby shower for Deon at The Chocolate! Holy cow, so Yummy! This cute Mommy is due in a few short weeks with a girl!

WE pretty much licked our plates clean!

Easter was fun, going to both families. I found a great hiding place to scare the kids for the hunt!

We had to find our baskets out behind Travis's family's house, and it was seriously hard! Always tons of great goodies in these baskets!

I had a birthday a few weeks ago, on actually the hottest day of the year, March 29th, so we went to breakfast, then went snowboarding for the last time this season, and it was beautiful! Only had to wear a long sleeve shirt! And I feel like we just ate and ate food all day!

Here are the newlyweds! Cute as ever! We hang out a lot, and always have the funnest time!

My cute Travis got me my first sewing machine! I was so shocked! What a cutie! I've loved being 26 so far....

Dry Shampoo

I've been hearing about dry shampoos for a while, and I am a fan of just using baby powder. I decided to try this one from Sexy hair, and I am very impressed! It really does work, and saves me on the days I don't wash my hair! It's a clay and mineral based product. It helps add body, because it absorbs excess oils and product build up in your hair. The first time I used it, I held it too close to my head, and it looked like I spray painted white into my hair! "Hi, I'm Grandma!" If you use this, just make sure to hold it out away from your head!;)

Math!

In the next week, we will be adding, 2 people to our family! Both my little brother, and Travis's little brother are getting married!This is my brother Andrew, and Melissa! We are so lucky to have every single in-law, be nothing but perfect! How did we get so lucky?! She fits in perfectly with our family! She has the best personality, and her and Andrew are so funny, and happy together! Couldn't have hand picked a more perfect fit!! Love you!!

This is Jordan and Sarah! Again, we are so lucky and thrilled to have Sarah as a sister! We've had too much fun getting to know her, and boy, what a catch! Congrats you guys and Welcome to the family! Let's party!
