DiSNeyLAnD

So its been almost a week since we got back from our trip DISNEYLAND. We had such a great time and we are glad that Devry and Preston were able to put up with us because it wouldn't have been the same without them. But needless to say we made memories while we were there. Here are a few pictures to show.
Travis and I at Universal Studios with this family who thought we wanted them in our picture!
Universal Studios was one of Travis's favorite parts of the trip.
Amazing enough we were able to fit all four of us inside the tea cup. (P.S. we didn't even make it on this ride because everyone except for me gets sick when they go in circles like that.)
If you can't tell I am freezing in this picture. Most of the days we were there it was surprisingly cold. I thought that was just an Idaho thing!

On our way to CALIFORNIA we spent the night in LAS VEGAS and visited the strip.

mY pRInCE cHARmINg!
One of my favorite parts of the trip was the first day in California when we went to an Anaheim Angels vs. Boston Red Sox game. I was super excited about this because my favorite team is the Red Sox and although they lost they definetly didn't let us down. They had two times where both teams cleared the dug outs fighting with each other and than there were 5 people in our section who got kicked out. Talk about entertaining.

Travis and I anxiously awaiting the game. (He was pretty exicted that my Red Sox didn't win the game.. Big Shocker Huh?!)
The teams clearing the dug outs even the pitchers warming up ran across the field to join in.Devry and I with the Easter Bunny at the Game on Easter Sunday

Police make me nervous...

So a couple weekends ago Melody had come down and we were driving to Idaho Falls to meet Kapri for lunch. Well I had to take Trav's car because he has been pulled over like 6 times in the month for his front head light being out. So I thought I'd save Travis another late night pull-over experience and take his car. Well as Melody and I are driving down one of the back roads I noticed there was a cop behind me. Cops just make me so nervous and I just knew if they followed me long enough they would find some reason to pull me over. So I made a decision to turn early and continue on our way hoping the cop wouldn't follow.

So thats exactly what I did I took the early turn well so did the cop. This is when I really start to get nervous. I knew that he was following me know so I was trying to find a way to lose him and Melody comes up with a bright idea!! There was this Christ Community Church and people were pulling in so Melody told me to turn in and act like we were going to church. So of course I followed her advice. After a few minutes of sitting in the parking lot we decide to head back on our way but we decided to go back the way we were going in the first place.

So a couple of minutes pass by and I look back in my mirror and I swore I saw the cop car behind me. Melody convinced that it was just a car with a ski rack. Well after it snuck up closer it was defintely the cop.

By this time I am freaking out! How did he find me? How did he know I was trying to lose him?
So Melody decides we need to make a cover story for ditching into the church parking lot. So our plan was to say we were "dropping of a casserole?"

Now 5 minutes of full out panick has gone by and I still have not been pulled over. Plus I wasn't sure the speed limit for the road we were on so I was going 25.. I just wanted to get pulled over and get it over with. We finally turn down the last stretch until we were we needed to be to meet Kapri and of course the cops lights flip on.

So I finally pull over and am gearing up for what is to come and what relief I had when I saw this shorter blonde hair guy step out of the car. I flung open my door and starting dying laughing. It was one of our good friends from BYU-Idaho, he has just started his job as a cop in Idaho Falls. I was so relieved, but one of the best parts is he couldn't figure out who was with me so he tried calling Travis to ask him when I started going to this new church...
Well maybe not all cops are so bad.. Some have sense of humors!!

The Countdown is ON!

As you can probably see by the countdown clock on my page we are going to Disneyland. Travis and I and our friends Devry and Preston are driving to California and staying there for six days. They are going to be the best six days because they will be filled with days at Disneyland and Universal Studios, the beach, shopping and much more. The best part is that both of the boys have both never been to Disneyland and I know they are going to love it! So I thought I'd share my excitement with everyone with this countdown clock.

BYU Frenzy


This past weekend Trav's buddy that has season tickets to the BYU football games wasn't able to go so he volunteered his 3 tickets to us. At first we thought it would be a great escape for the two of us, but Travis just couldn't get it out of his head how guilty he would feel going to a BYU game without his dad. ( His dad Mike is one the biggest BYU football fans that I know, maybe thats because I don't personally know that many) We had three tickets so it made since not to let the third one go to waste plus Travis thought it would be a great early birthday present for Mike. The trip just kept evolving because Andy (Trav's youngest brother) just got home from his mission about 2 weeks ago and I thought it would be a great time for the 3 of them to get to spend time together at the football game. So I ended up getting Melody's roomates ticket for the game.



We headed down to Provo right after work on Friday and spent the night and Saturday morning I was itching to go shopping at Forever 21 so I sent the boys to a movie and Melody and I started shopping. We started out trying to find the BYU bookstore so I could get a BYU shirt for the game because we would stand out in the student section without one so we found some cool shirts for the game. Than we spent about a full hour and a half just in Forever 21!! I am in love with that store. Here's where it fits on the top 5 things I love. 1. Travis 2. Dr.Pepper 3. FOREVER 21 4. Rumbi Grill 5. taking baths




So while Mel and I were sitting at the game Katie text us and asked if we were there. We told her the direction we were in so she could start looking for us. Well lets just say Melody and I weren't hard to find with our bright green and pink jackets. She text us and said oh how ridiculous you couldn't be wearing anything brighter. It only took her about a minute to pick us out of a crowd of only like 40,000 people. ( We get it from our mom, when would go to Disneyland as a kid my mom would pick out a bright yellow clothing and make every single one of us wear it so we could find each easily if we ever got lost. I guess it just stuck with us.!)

Rupes Reunion


So Melody came home last weekend from Provo. So she had mentioned getting together for dinner with Kapri and Jessica. As they were trying to arrange where we should meet up Jeesica mentioned Rupes. There's nothing better than dinner from Rupes except for maybe being there with some of our best friends. What made it even better is that all of our husbands decided to come. The funny part is we all had to convince them to go because they thought it was just the girls but once we told them the other guys would be there they all decided to go( I think they almost had a better time than us girls.)



We sat in Rupes for almost 3 hours talking it was so much fun and we definetly need to do it more often while we can because who knows where everyone will be in a year or two.
