David and Goliath

I have to post this mostly because it was too cute to forget, and it was a few weeks ago!

I teach the 9 and 10 year old Primary class in our ward. We talked about Ruth and Naomi and it said to let the kids know that David that slew Goliath was the great grandson of Ruth. So, I asked the kids if they knew the story, and since we had a few minutes and would be learning that lesson in a few weeks asked if someone wanted to tell us really quick about the story. A boy raised his hand and said he knew, so I asked him to tell the class the story. The story went something like this " There was a little boy named David who was walking down the street and saw a lady selling beans..." (Do you see where this is going?) "He bought some from her and planted them, it grew a really big beanstalk and he climbed up it and there was a big giant that lived in the clouds and David killed him!" I did my best not to laugh, and told the boy that he confused David and Goliath with Jack and the Beanstalk, he then said "well they both kill giants, same thing"! Too bad he wasn't at church the week we learned the real story! I wonder how long he will go thinking that Jack and the Beanstalk is a Bible story?

Playing Catch Up, Marc's BIrthday!

I know we have been non-existent in the blogging world, but here are a few reasons why
1. My little brother's High School Volley Ball Team were playing GREAT! They ended their season 22-0 AND Arizona State Champs! We went to all the games we could near the end of the season and were there to scream and shout as the winning point went down on the court!
2. The same brother graduated from high school and celebrations were abundant!
3. Marc decided he wanted to go back to school, so I have been working full time and over time while he studies and goes through the application process to get a masters.
4. Summer vacations and swimming have kept us out of the house and off the computer!
5. Marc and I each celebrated our 24th birthdays almost a month apart, and between celebrating with both families, our weekends have been used up.

So, now time to play catch-up!
On Marcs birthday his parents, took us and his little brother out to lunch. Marc wanted to go to a family favorite Mexican restaurant, and we were so full! We had fun visiting with them though! Then that night we celebrated his birthday, just the two of us! I heard earlier this year that Bennihana, a super fun teppanyaki grill, has great monthly coupons. I signed up to get them and put Marcs name and birthday down thinking that if there was some fun birthday coupon I could use it! BEST IDEA EVER! About a week before his birthday I got an e-mail for $30 off a meal and dinner and the chef's table. I called and made the reservation and did my best to keep it a secret, I have a hard time surprising people because I like to see their reaction, but I kept this one. We got in the car and I drove so he wouldn't guess along the way. He figured it out before we turned into the parking lot, but he was so excited! We had been wanting to go but never had! When we got the menus they told us that their monthly special was a $40 dinner for two! It included, soup, salad, shrimp, chicken, steak, veggies, and rice all cooked on the grill right in front of us! It was SO tasty! Because it was Marcs birthday they brought out a half a pineapple that was carved to look like a fish with orange slices, lime slices and a cherry to make the tail! It was so cute, but I forgot to take a picture since there was a creepy little girl sitting by us that looked like she was going to attack it! They did take a picture for us and gave us a copy and emailed us one, so here is the only picture we have!

I felt pretty bad though, because I have made him a cake every birthday since we have been married and wasn't able to since I was working, but my mom made him a delicious German Chocolate Cake the Sunday after, it is his family tradition for just about every birthday!

We also celebrated with his family but there are 4 birthdays within a month, so we had one big party! We went to Ancala for a Delicious dinner then back to his parents for ice cream cake, swimming, and presents. Overall he isn't so sad about being 24 anymore!

Gila Valley Temple!

The Gila Valley Temple is doing their open house, the temple is about 3 1/2 to 4 hours away, my parents decided they wanted to go with my brother and sister, so Marc and I tagged along. We left about 7am and were home about 6pm, it was a pretty quick trip! We have some good family friends that live in Thatcher, the city where the temple is, so we used their house to change into our Sunday clothes. These friends wrote, choreographed, and organized the Temple Cultural Celebration that will be held before the Temple Dedication. They had all day rehearsals and since we had to run get the key to their house, we got to watch some of it! It was amazing!

There were a lot of people going through that day so we didn't really get to stop and talk too much. We were in and out in about 10 minutes, not including the 12 minute video before and our pit stop for cookies after! It was so beautiful! It will be a huge blessing to the people in the area to have a temple so close to them! Here are a few pictures outside the Temple. My dad took some of the family, minus himself, I'll post some of those as soon as I get them! Sorry about our squinted eyes, the sun was so bright!

My Valentines Present!

I have been trying to be really crafty and make cute things. So for Valentines Marc got me a sewing machine. I really want to learn to sew, I am not that good at all so if you want to give me lessons, I am willing to take them. I decided to make pillows for our couch. Marc helped me pick out some super cute fabric to use. I think they turned out really cute, I am working one a few other projects, but I am having a few problems with elastic! Anyway, here is a picture of one of the pillows, sorry it isn't a great picture. The fabric is a dark brown with tiny white polka dots!

Dining Table

For Christmas, Marcs Parents got us a gift card to Ikea. We have been needing a dining room table really bad, we sold our last one to my cousin before moving out here and our card table wasn't cutting it any more! Marc wasn't too excited to make the trip and he wanted me to get a table I liked so he stayed home while my mom, sister and I went. We enjoyed a delicious lunch before hunting for the perfect table.

There was a big sale going on that day, unfortunately, the table I picked was not on sale. It has a leaf that pops up from the middle, that makes for a HEAVY table. Luckily there was a nice man at the store that took care of loading it for us! The box was a giant octagon, and super heavy. Marc and I had to lay it on the railing and slide it up the stairs, I was so scared it was going to fall over the edge! It made it, and it was pretty easy to put together, so were the chairs! Here are a few pictures, they aren't great, but tell me what you think! Ignore the pile in the corner, we are still trying to figure out where to put things!

Christmas Crafts and Such...

I know I have been a total blog slacker the last little while, but with good reasoning! I have been working like crazy and so has Marc. So, here is the update and some pictures to prove we are alive and well!

Marc and I really wanted to see the Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple before things got too busy. We went a few weeks ago with his brother Ben, his wife Danielle, and their son Tyler. We had so much fun! It was pretty busy, but it was fun to walk around and be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas. We didn't get a picture of us together, but here are the ones we got!



When Marc and I first started dating up at school before his mission, he told me he wasn't really a fan of christmas, more the commercialization of it, but he doesn't even get excited for it. Well, before we got married, I made it a goal to change that, now that it is our 3rd Christmas together, I think I am finally cracking the surface! I made a big deal about making Christmas cookies for the Chase family christmas party, and I actually put up decorations in our house, I never did since we weren't home to enjoy them. I really wanted to make our stockings since they can be really expensive to buy. I wanted to knit them, but couldn't find a knitting pattern. I ended up making them very similar to the way my mom made all of ours years ago, this is how they turned out, what do you think? I owe my sister in law Whitney a HUGE thanks for letting me use her sewing machine and making sure I knew what I was doing!

I am planning on going back and getting more of this fabric after christmas to make a matching tree skirt for next year! All of this got me really excited to decorate. Marcs brother Ryan and his wife Whitney let us borrow one of their fake trees that they aren't using this year, and we really didn't have ornaments. So, I made some! It cost me about $5 to make all 35 ornaments, and I think they turned out pretty cute! Here are pictures before they made it to the tree!


I am pretty happy with them, and they look really good on the tree, just take a look for yourself!

No, the printer is not a gift, we just need to put it on the desk. Anyway, I have done all of this in hopes of helping my wonderful husband like Christmas just a little and the other day he tells me he is "SO EXCITED"! I think I have begun to get through to him! I even started a little tradition for ourselves, this morning after we got up I made homemade cinnamon rolls! What made them even better is that I used my wheat mill and made Whole Wheat cinnamon rolls, and let me tell you, they are AMAZING! We also made one batch that had macadamia nuts and carmel in them, delicious! We decided that we will make them every Christmas Eve! We plan on taking the rest of the day easy and enjoying this quiet day alone, tomorrow will be a crazy one! We hope you all enjoy the day! Merry Christmas!

Marc's Little Friend!

Everyday when Marc comes home from work, our nephew gets so excited and had to be attached to him. At first we thought that maybe he thought Marc was his dad, now I think it is that he is excited to have a guy to play with after being stuck with girls all day! He loves when his dad comes home and will drop everything to run to him. The other day Marc came home and sat down on the couch. Tyler climbed up all on his own and ended up like this...

He sat like this for quite awhile. He loves doing what we all do, sometimes we think that he thinks he is in his 20's! After he realized I had the camera out, he crawled up to it smiling, this is with no zoom, but too cute not to share!

We love having this little guy to play with and then give back to mom and dad when we are done!

A Saturday of Surprises!

I know I haven't blogged in awhile, but just as I started thinking this,I had stuff to blog about! On Friday Marc text me and told me that he had plans for us for Saturday, but I couldn't know what it was. All he said is I could pick some stuff out and it wouldn't be too expensive. I don't like knowing surprises are coming, I think of everything it could be, then let myself down when it isn't as big or elaborate, or as exciting as I imagined. But of course my mind started running, I have been wanting to go to Sprinkles cupcakes here ever since I went in California, could that be it a trip to get cupcakes? One of my favorite clothing stores, H&M is getting ready to open their first store in AZ not to far from us, maybe we were going to their grand opening, but no, I just checked, they open in October! We can't be going to a movie, there isn't anything we have been dying to see. Every time I asked Marc kept telling me I was wrong! Finally Saturday morning makes it's way. Maybe a water park, do I wear a swimming suit and risk looking stupid if our adventure doesn't involve swimming? Before jumping in the shower, I tell Marc he has to pick out my clothes since he knows where we are going. Lying on the bed, shorts, a top and flip flops on the floor, well, I wear this everyday... this doesn't help my racing mind at all! After I finish getting ready he poses me with a question, "do you want to eat breakfast here or there?" A perfect opportunity to get more clues out of him, "Well, what can we eat if we eat out?" I can't tell you, it will give it away, ok..."Are we eating lunch out too?", his response, "If you want..." Still so confused! We decide to eat a small breakfast incase we decide we want to eat while we are out. After eating it is time to go, I ask before leaving, "Do I need to bring the camera incase there is a good blogging opportunity?" After a small chuckle, he replies, "if you want".

We get in the car and start driving south on the 51. All I can think of is the Air Port, but I doubt we are taking a day trip to a far off land. We exit off the freeway at Cactus, um, I am really lost! As we drive I see a cute park with a ton of tents! My first thought, "Oh how cute! We should go there one day", wait that's it! "Are we going to a Farmer's Market?" Very proudly Marc replies, "Yep!" I love my husband! He is such a great guy! One of our favorite activities in Rexburg was going to the Farmer's Market every week. He was waiting at the dentist when he saw an ad in Phoenix Magazine about Farmer's Markets here. He got online and found the closest one to us. We went and had a free slice of Great Harvest Bread, which we had no idea was in Phoenix, and we tasted lots of other yummy treats! After making the rounds we decided to buy some fresh green beans, homemade beef jerky, tabouli, and fresh fire roasted chilies! It was a fun little adventure and extra points to Marc for being so creative! The great thing about the Farmer's Markets in AZ, they are open every Saturday! So we now have a fun little Saturday morning date!

When we got home from our fun little adventure, Ben and Danielle were getting ready to go to the lake. Her uncle was taking the scouts out on his boat and another leader had a boat, only 3 scouts showed up. So we hurried and changed and went out to the lake for a few hours. There was a huge storm heading in that brought an early end to our trip, but it was fun! Marc and I went on the other boat and went tubing! It has really been YEARS since I have been tubing! We had so much fun! Marc went in the tube the first time with two of the scouts. He had a great fall! His feet flew over his head and he had a nice little back flip into the water. After about 30 minutes the boys were ready for a break. Then Marc and I got in with one of the boys. Marc flew out, after he got in we were going fine, then all of a sudden we took a hard crash and all three of us flew out! The water was so warm though that it felt nice to take a little swim! It was a fun afternoon! Here are a few pictures of Marc tubing, I didn't get any of me, there is also one of Marc and I, don't mind his duck like fluff, that was after air drying from being in the water!



We had such a fun weekend! It is always nice to spend time together and relax!

Giveaway!

I am working on creating a blog business to design baby announcements, wedding announcements, graduation announcements, party invites, adoption pass along cards, christmas cards, am I missing anything? I need some more samples to help build my blog. So, the first 4 people to comment will get a free design, giving me the ability to use it on my blog. I will change all the personal information, names and such. I have a few wedding announcements already so other things would be appreciated! Just leave a comment and let me know what you would like. I'll get in touch with you and make them in the next few weeks! Thanks!

I just thought I would add, I will send you the jpeg file then they are yours to print! You can upload them to any photo center, WalMart, Target, Walgreens, etc. I will also verify that you have the rights if I need too, for example, a photo center in Utah gave my cousin a hard time when she wanted to print her wedding announcements, apparently they were too professional!

California Livin'

I know I have disappeared from the blogging world for a little while, but with very good reasons! Last Thursday I left to play in California! My Aunt is a wonderful photographer and was asked to do a wedding in Beverly Hills. So, I stayed here...

The Beverly Hilton! It was so pretty! They do 175 red carpet events there every year, most famously, the Golden Globes, and pre and post award parties for many others! The bride and groom put all of their guests up in this hotel! I was there just to babysit my aunts two adorable kids, but it was all worth it! Here are some pictures of the hotel. I got these from their website! Here is the pool!

Every night they have these lights at the pool. Every few minutes they change colors and move on the walls. They also show movies on the wall like in the picture, they didn't while we were there though! My aunt said most of the pictures of celebrities you see at the pool are taken here. Jennifer Anisten is known for staying in a pool side bungalow and reserving a bed along the pool! This is a picture of the Presidential suite from the outside.

My aunt stayed here a few years ago while doing another wedding and said that Bill Gates was in the Presidential suite. We could tell that there were people in the room, but we couldn't tell who! Here is the main ballroom where the Golden Globes take place! I wanted to go peek in the doors, but was too chicken!

From our room we could see the fountain. There is astroturf all around it, and benches, but it was a great place for kids to run! When I took these pictures, there were tables set out for a brunch, we never saw anyone sit there though! The fountain in 5 feet deep, the first night we were there, people were drinking and swimming in the fountain, but we didn't hear them!

Here is a picture of the cute little guys I was there playing with! I love these guys! I feel more like their aunt than their cousin since they are so much younger, but we still have so much fun!

We walked around Santa Monica Pier, never touching the ocean or sand, but looking in all the shops! We made a stop at Fred Segul, the first time we tried it was closed for a party, we tried to see inside with no such luck! We drove around Bellair looking at all the celebrities homes. Tons of super nice cars were passing us, but the windows were tinted really dark and we couldn't tell if we had just passed a celebrity. We also went to Sprinkles Cupcakes. There is one here in Scottsdale, but one of their first locations was right down the street from our hotel, so of course we had to go! Here is what we got...

Mine was the one without the trademark sprinkle, but the dark chocolatey goodness that it beholds was simply divine! The kiddos shared one in the bathtub right before taking their bath. This idea is highly recommended! All the mess gets washed away as soon as you turn on the water! Just watched out for little boys that aren't potty trained yet, it can cause problems! They really loved their strawberry cupcake!

We also went to a place called Jerry's Deli. If you are ever in Beverly Hills go there! I don't know where it is there other than across from Ceder Sini Hospital where all the celebrity babies are born. My aunt said that if you go around 8 or 9 at night the TV celebs are getting off work and come in for a bite. One night she saw the whole cast from Everybody Loves Raymond, LL Cool J, and a few others whose names meant nothing to me. I highly recommend the Ruben! Delicious!

On Sunday we drove over to Anaheim/Cypress area to visit my grandmas sister and her family. We had dinner with them and let my moms cousin's kids play with my cousins, they are actually the same ages, so they had fun playing together, once they all warmed up!
On Monday we went to Disneyland. Can I just say, I love Disneyland! I haven't been in about 2 years, but it is so fun! Especially when you go with someone who has never been. My two year old cousin ran to the Mickey benches before you even get into the park and said in the most excited voice "Mickey, Fun"! How can you not have a great day when it starts like that? We got to the park around 10am and planned on leaving around 6 or 7 since the kids were missing their naps, we closed the park down. The kids had so much fun! We took them on Pirates of the Caribbean and were worried they would hate it, pirate is their code word for a creep at the park, wrong again! We ended up staying on because the kids wanted to go down the slide again! Here are a few cute pictures from the day, not many of me, but I'll find some soon! We all took pictures of each other but not of ourselves!







I meant to post pictures while I was in California but the hotels all charge $13 a day just to access WiFi on your own computer! But I am back and tan! Marc wasn't able to come and it was the first time since we got married that we have been apart, as much fun as I had, it wasn't as fun without him there!

Finally a College Graduate!

Marc's parents got his diploma in the mail a few days ago and Marc finally brought it home! He is officially a college graduate and has the diploma to prove it! I am so proud of him! He worked so hard and now has the piece of paper that seals the deal! He is still liking his job, well, he likes not having homework! Here is my college graduate husband!

I am so proud of you Marc! I love you!

Lunch with the Girls and Watermelon Cookies

Saturday my mom, sister, grandma, aunts, and cousins got together for a "girls day". We met up at Tempe Market Place and ate lunch at Paradise Bakery. After a delicious lunch, the little girls and their mom left and the rest of us went to see "Julia & Julie". So cute! But like my mom says, for a Saturday matinee, my 13 year old sister and I were the youngest two in the theater. The average age was about 60, and there were maybe 15 guys! The movie was so cute, I would see it again! After the movie, my mom, sister and I walked around and spent some good mom and daughter time together! After lunch we took a group picture, this is all the girls on my moms side, minus my moms sister and her cute 4 year old. It was so much fun to have a girls day!

Yesterday my sister in law was having an open house for the preschool she is starting. She needed cookies, so in the mist of cleaning and getting the preschool room ready, I made these cute summer cookies!


I will admit I was blog stalking and found them on someone's blog, but they were so fun I had to try. We made sugar cookie dough and dyed it green. I rolled them out and used a cup to cut them since we didn't have a circle cookie cutter. Then I cut each circle in half before baking them. We frosted them with pink frosting and used mini chocolate chips for the seeds. I hear they were a hit, but I have eaten a few and they a were tasty! I forgot to take pictures before they were served, so some of the seeds are missing, but you get the idea! I am glad I got to try them before summer comes to an end!

More Graduation and The Move!

We got a few more graduation pictures from Marc's parents. I had to put them up because we didn't take that many pictures anyway! There is also one of all of us in Jackson Hole!




I am so proud of Marc! He really worked hard! He didn't want to walk at graduation at all and I am sure the blazing heat didn't help, but it gave us all a reason to celebrate!

A few days after graduation we really hit the packing and cleaning! I didn't take too many pictures, mostly because it was pretty stressful. The night before we left to get the truck and pack up to leave, we went to Bajio for one last farewell meal. Not such a good choice! I am pretty sure I got some type of food poisoning! I was up sick most of the night. To top it off, I had bad allergies with big puffy eyes! We woke up and ran down to Idaho falls to get our moving truck and car dolly. I am glad that as sick as I was, I was with Marc. We had to go to Idaho Falls since all the truck rental places in Rexburg were out! It was pretty easy to find, but when we got out of the car Marc realized that he left his wallet on the counter at home! We had to call our apartment manager to get his driver's license number off our paperwork. Then they had to run a credit card instead of using the number he gave them, so we used mine! I don't know how he would have been able to get it if I weren't there! It's not like he could just run home and get it, that would have taken another hour and a half! We finally got the truck and headed home. There were 3 people there to help us load when we got home! It only took 30 minutes to load! Talk about awesome! We had a few straggling things that we needed to put in the truck at the end, but we got it all done and the apartment clean with just a few minutes to spare! We went and said some last goodbyes to friends, then hit the road around 5pm.

Here we are driving into Utah! Sorry it's blurry! We had to document our departure from Idaho!

We had loaded all our furniture to take to Salt Lake. We didn't want to store it while we are here so we sold it to my cousin who is getting married in October! We got in around 9 and had to hustle to get their stuff out and loaded in the pickup so they could take it to their storage unit. Then we unstacked all our boxes, we were only taking up about a 5x5 square in out 16 foot truck! We decided that night that instead of forcing ourselves to wake up we would sleep until we were ready to get up. We woke up around 9 or 9:30 and after quick showers and a trip to the gas station we were on the road again around 10am! We passed the new Oqurriah Mountain Temple in Salt Lake. I took this picture from the freeway.

This is a picture from the news story released in June when the Temple was struck by lighting! We would kind of see from the road that it hadn't been fixed yet.

We drove all day long and took some pretty pictures. Here are a few from the trip. There is one that looks like we were taking a picture of the dead bug on the windshield, we were actually taking a picture of the bug that wrapped around the antenna when we hit it!



We were so excited to finally make it into Arizona we had to take pictures! Here is us crossing in and the lovely view of Lake Powell!


We finally got to his brother's house around 10pm. We pretty much crashed and played with family the rest of the weekend! We love being home!

The Craze=Crazy Night!

There is a new place that just opened in Rexburg called "The Craze". It is supposed to be like a Fiddlesticks or Crackerjacks for all anyone from Az. It is all indoor, the people bought one whole building so they have a pretty sweet set up. We wanted to check it out before we left town, so we went and played miniature golf with our friends, Clint and Shaylen last night. Luckily it was only $3 because that is about all it was worth. Here is a picture of Marc golfing. I only got one, it wasn't worth it to take more, and if the picture looks funny, it's because there were blacklights, I shouldn't have used my flash!

After our 9 hole mini golf, we walked around the place. They have a little sandwich shop with some pretty interesting names, like the USS Rexburg, and If the first one breaks! They also have laser tag apparently it is the biggest and only 2-story in Idaho, but Marc and I were pretty sure Laser Quest is bigger! It is pretty cool though. They let us walk around before a game started. The room is supposed to look like a "Lost City". They had BYU-Idaho Art Majors come in and paint. It looks really cool. There are tons of fog machines, and mirrors that the lasers can bounce off of. Before you go in, there is a video they make the players watch that explains how the equipment works. They hired a professional company to come in and film it, they hired professional actors, anyway, it is pretty funny, they made it to sound like a battle prep video! There is a window at the top of the Laser Tag arena that you can watch from. We watched one whole game, it was pretty funny. You could tell who had never played before! As we were walking out we looked at the arcade. Yea, we spent money, but not too much! The boys played some racing game, while Shaylen and I worked our Magic on Deal or No Deal. The first round we won 101 tickets! Here we are with our tickets!


We had so much fun yelling "No Deal", and picking cases that we played 3 more rounds, one in hopes of winning 400! But we pressed our luck a little too hard. The boys played with us too, but they didn't really get into the screaming! After playing we had a total of 155 tickets, so of course we had to go cash in. We went the the very small and unimpressive prize counter and got, 2 ring pops, an airplane, and 5 pieces of candy! We had a little fun with the ring pops...





We were joking about how we felt like we were single again and being crazy! I am pretty sure we were the only married people there, but there weren't that many people there anyway since school is out! After our adventure there we decided to get ice cream. We went to BRC's a frozen custard place, but they were closed, it was 10. So them we decided to got to Artic Circle. On the way there we decided to go to Walmart and just buy a big thing of ice cream and share. Some how that turned into pizza. We decided it was cheaper to go to Little Caesar's and get a $5 pizza, we pulled up and, GONE! Don't worry, their just remodeling! So we went to Broulim's and got a Craigo's take and bake. Finally we had our food! Clint and Shaylen came over here and we baked the pizza and ate while the boys played video games. A little after 12 we were all so tired we had to call it a night. We had so much fun being silly and getting away from packing and cleaning! Now on to all the hard work!
