3 Years and counting...

It was our 3 year anniversary on March 18 so we decided to go on a big camp out with some of our friends from the hospital. On our actual anniversary we just went out to Olive Garden and had a nice meal and then came home and watched our wedding video, which was so cute by the way!
That Thursday we took off with Ashley and Jake to St. George area and got there too late to sleep at a campsite, so we ended up sleeping on the floor of Kyles brothers vacant condo where there was no running water or electricity. I'll just say we had to get creative with our bathroom facilities ;)
Then on Friday morning, we met up with Allie and Dave to head down to Kanab. We had 6 people squashed into Kyles truck with about a ton of stuff in the bed of the truck and trailor. Kyle was nervous we weren't even going to make it there with all the weight we were carrying.
Well we made it to Dave's home town of Kanab and found..."THE ROCK", which is where we set up tent. Friday we went 4 wheeling, then hiked to the sand caves and played Bocci Ball, made tinfoil dinners, smores, and hung out by the fire.


Saturday we all woke up and made Mountainman breakfast (oh so good), the guys went out shooting while us girls played cards. Then the guys wanted to go 4 wheeling to check out the area so while they did that, us girls laid out in the back of Kyles truck.


well, one of the 4 wheelers blew the transmission on their adventure so that was the end of that! We had sandwiches for lunch and then hung around and climbed "The Rock", then tried to find a hike to the beehives, which was never accomplished, came back, made Dutch oven B-B-Q Chicken and bacon potatoes, and for dessert had Dutch oven Peach Cobbler! That was some good eatin :)





This was the stupid tree that both Kyle and I ran into about 5 times each, and also resulted in me having a small accident with the bladder cuz I was laughing so hard! Dang bladder!
That night we planned on having a huge bon fire but the wind was too bad so we ended up burning through about 5 trees, 1 by 1.
Sunday morning, we had Biscuits and Gravy, packed up, and headed out. We stopped at Allie's home town where her family was so kind and made us lunch and allowed us to take a much needed shower. Then we were on the road again and came home to a dang snow storm! :(



Along with our Anniversary, it was also Allies Big 21 Birthday. Annalee and I took her out for lunch and then her husband had a surprise B-day party for her that night.

Happy Birthday Allie!!!



This is me at 25 weeks pregnant. I grew so much in just 1 week. Actually, I wake up every morning noticing how big I get overnight. Bailey moves so much now and aren't just little nudges anymore. She is doing full on Acrobatics!!

Newest Update: My dad is moving to Italy for 3 months just because he can. He invited Kyle and I to come out before the baby was born so we looked and found cheap tickets and we are on our way to Italy next week!!! We are so excited and can't wait to eat some real Italian food! Pictures are soon to come.

Boyz II Men back again.......

Okay so on March 7th Boyz II Men came to the Wendover concert hall in Nevada! Yes, I know they are such Has-beens but thats okay. I am still a true fan. Well, Katy and I heard about them coming months ago and tickets were $15 but for some stupid reason, we did not purchase tickets...DUMB! Well, the time soon came approaching and tickets sold out!! Panic kicked in and we were doing everything we could think of to get it.



Here were my ideas:



(a.)Take our backstage pass from last concert and work it somehow.



(b.) Track them down in Wendover and become GOOD friends and then go to the concert with Boyz II Men themselves (that wouldn't work too well seeing how I'm 6 months prego).



(c.) Have a melt down and tell the front door that this child in my womb was theres!! (Kyle didn't like that idea)



(d.) Just drive to Wendover and find some drunk people on the slots and talk them into handing over their tickets b/c they were having much more fun in the casinos.



Okay, I'll stop. Kyle has having a panic attack as well b/c he knew his crazy wife would probably attempt all of these ideas without thinking twice, especially if Katy was on board with me too. hahah. So the DAY OF THE CONCERT...my sweet husband called a guy who had some tickets online for sale for a ridiculous price and we talked him down and BAM.....We had TICKETS!!! There were 4 tickets and only Katy, Krissy, and I were planning on going. Through many phone calls, no one else could go.... Kyle offered if NO ONE else could go, "I guess I could go". haha, Well this was suppose to be girls day so I told him he had to just come along and not yell at me when I went crazy. The only thing he said to me was...."Just promise me you won't endanger our child". I agreed to this idea. Okay, moving right along....











We made the 2 1/2 hour drive to Wendover, Nevada and we listened to fun girl music the whole including Boyz II Men. Kyle did very well to not complaining, he even sang along to a few songs. haha GIIRRRLLLZZZ DDAAAYYY, WoooooooOOooooooo!!!!

You won't ever see Kyle in these pictures because he agreed to be our photographer and stay out of the wonderful eventful day of pictures. Thanks honey!




Our ridiculously priced buffet we ate at and only had 20 minutes to eat b/c we couldn't even come close to being late!

Oh my.....The fun begins!


We were all a little worried b/c nobody was in their seats until like 2 mins prior to show time, they were playing elevator music, and there was NO energy in this tiny little stadium. We were going to make sure we brought the energy! So they begin......Katy, Krissy and I are dancing away, Kyle is sitting calmly in his seat taking all the pictures so I didn't have to worry :)











Oh YEAH!!!


Okay, so here is where the drama begins. See these roses....we knew they were coming. Katy tries to charge the stage but she gets stopped by security b/c your suppose to remain in your seats! HA...Ya right! So then I take another way around so they could see me in the wide open....Heres the story from my mind:


Okay Heather...Jump as high as you can and swing your arms like a lunatic so everyone can sit and stare and use you as their entertainment. Okay...he sees me..Jump more...GET THAT ROSE! He is staring right at you.....he has 2 roses left and he is throwing his next rose right to you. Here it comes, flying in the air, right to me.... So here I am jumping up through the air with my arms stretched wide trying to catch it..BAM...out of nowhere, two chicks, one by the way was a massive giagantor woman that had eyes the size of grapefruits and they come flying through the air to catch the rose that he was throwing to ME. All three of us miss the dang thing cuz we were trying to box out and push and shove. So the rose falls to the floor a step below me and without wasting time all 3 of us are on the ground trying to take hold of the dang thing. Needless to say, my promise came back into my head, "Heather, do NOT harm our child". So after being pushed over by shrek woman and her stepping on my finger and breaking my nail off...I KNOW RIGHT!, I stood up and almost had tears. I tried one more time to get noticed but sadly hung my head low and ran back to my seat for a hug. lol.


Stupid lady in the red shirt got all the attention this night. They even talked to her mom on the phone during the Mama song... Shee was hugged, and kissed, and hand held! Ugh!


So then the lights turn back on and the concert is over and I look over and down a few rows and guess who it is......... GIGANTOR with the big eyes, holding MY ROSE! She was taking pictures with it, and swinging it around in the air. Okay so now I'm pissed! So I get heated and Im telling Kyle what all I want to do to this woman and how I'm going to run by while she's posing for her stupid pictures and rip the head of the rose right off and she would be left with the thorns. hahahahaha. Okay, Kyle is getting mad and thinks his wife is now the psycho one, which Ya, I kinda was at the moment. I eyed her down the whole way out while Kyle was pushing me right along. We all know the truth though, that rose was intended for the fat, white shirted lady, standing in the isle way making a fool of herself just for Boyz II Men!




I got over it and we went on our merry way! All in all....I had a blast and I'm so glad we were able to go. Thanks Katy, Krissy, and Kyle for a good night and not letting me end up in jail over that stupid rose that would be dead already.




Thank you for listening to my story and my venting. (I'm really not crazy, I promise :)



Yep, this is me and how big I was thrashing myself around at the concert. Wow...I'm special! This is me at 24 weeks along.
