Chancey 1st Birthday

The cutest nephew in the WORLD turned one on September 12. Chris and Cassie decided to celebrate it the day before. There was jumpyhouse, carne, rice, drinks, presents, and piƱata! and lots of family and friends. Just like a first birthday should be!! Billy thinks first birthdays shouldnt be so big since the kid wont even remember. But hello!! it's the FIRST birthday, it HAS to be BIG and FUN!! I cant wait til we have kids and their first birthday... I pretty much plan to go ALL out. Muahaha

My Mommys Bday

My mom wanted to celebrate her birthday by go bowling. Her birthday (September 6) fell on a Sunday this year, so we went bowling the next day, Labor Day. I dunno why but I have always liked bowling. I think it the fun-est past time. I even told Billy that I wanted to join a league. It would be a nice way to spend time together. I bowled so good. Usually I get A LOT of gutter balls, and I really mean A LOT. This time Manny was the one who got the gutters lol. Shaed was so funny. He was cradling it and they twisted his torso to roll it down. My Dad was jus throwing it as hard as he could (Billy didn't go but he does that do... MEN! ha!) I was actually excited that my dad played. He never likes to play games. He usually jus sits and watches... then leaves lol. Im pretty sure my mom had a great birthday. She turned..... just kidding, she would probably kill me. lol jk

Delicate Arch

Oh gosh! I have been so lazy and haven't been blogging. I really needed get my act together. So here goes!

On September 5, Billy and I drove down to Moab since I never saw the arches. We finally arrived at Moab about 5pm and stayed at Billy's aunt house, Mary and her husband Del. They were so much fun. We ate delicious dinner and played "Chicken Foot" with Dominoes. Stupid me left my camera in the car and didn't take any pictures of them. I finally got to meet the famous "Liz," Mary and Del's daughter. That brave lil woman gave birth to 12 kids!! none of them twins, triples, nada. They have the BIGGEST house. It was way nice. I think I feel in love with the table lol. It was so big that there was a lil turn table in the middle. Billy says he think it's called lazy susan. Meh, I'll turn call it lil turn table lol

So the next day we made the drive to the Delicate Arch and hiked it up. Oh MY Goodness Gracious! It was a tough one. But we made it! Such a beautiful experience. I cant wait to visit the other arches

Legal Cassie

My sister in law, Cassie, turned 18 on the 18 of August - Golden Year!! We all went to KawLoon Cafe for dinner. I've never been there but let me tell you: their orange chicken was delish. I also enjoyed the egg drop soup. Oh gosh, now I want me some Chinese food. hehe

Billy and I got there a bit late as we took a nap and totally slept through the alarm!! This whole waking up at 5am is killing us. WE NEED SLEEP!! ha

So, Cassie has been in the family for about 2 years. I met her last year in Spring. We both were very shy at first but throughout the months we have warmed up to each other. I love that everytime you tell her a story she says, and I quote, "Oh wow, really." Ha gotta love her! She is so sarcastic!! I member once Chris was telling a very pointless story and Cassie was eavesdropping. As soon as he finished, Cassie pop in and said "That was the stupidest story I have ever heard" hahaha Oh man I definitely couldn't stop laughing (I am laughing as I tell it lol)

I'm so glad that my brother met her and fell in love. I honestly believe she has been a great influence in his life. She is a wonderful sister in law.

One Year Anniversary

WOW! I cant even believe that one year has already passed by. We are no longer newlyweds!!! YAY!!!

Last year on our cruise, we sat by a couple who were celebrating their 50th anniversary. they had mentioned that they took turns to plan their anniversaries. At that moment Billy and I decided that we would do that too. So this year was my turn (since Billy planned the honeymoon).

Between you and me, I had no idea why to do. I had so many ideas: Las Vegas, Worldmark by Wyndham (our timeshare). And then of course I had some that I could only dream of: Hawaii, Mexico, Puerto Rico, New York - one day, one day, you jus wait and see!

Two weeks before the big day, I still had no idea what to do. THEN, my mother mentioned "Castle Creek Inn" BONUS! And she offered to buy a night for us JACKPOT!! lol

So basically while we stayed the night at the beautiful castle hotel, we ate at Hoppers (Billy's new fav restaurant lol), walked around the castle, watched a movie in our hotel "Finding Forrester," and had a good time in the tub ;D


When we got home, we exchanged gifts. Billy got me a ring band to add to my wedding set and I got him some of his favorite candies with a love note attached. After we took a nap, we went to dinner (Ruby River) and a movie (The Ugly Truth). It was so nice to have a weekend getaway to ourselves with no distractions. I think we should do it more often

July 24th

I spent July 24th with my family. We all went to Liberty Park to watch the fireworks. Since Billy was hanging out with his brother for the weekend, I decided to take Aku with me. I think it's safe to say that he LOVED it. And he found himself another girlfriend that he wanted hook up with. Lol Kjera's lil chihuahua, Roxy

Man, I have never noticed so many drunks and wackos til now. People are crazy! and some very inconsiderate . . . people next to us were smoking marijuana. I got the biggest headache! But at least the fireworks were great! By 10:00pm, they were shooting one firework every minute. It was driving me CRAZY!! Especially cuz I was trying to take a picture. I wanted to get a good picture... but unfortunately, I am no expert with my camera. I pretty much suck. Well, when the party finally got started Aku kept moving around from all the noise. I wouldn't say he was afraid rather curious about all the racket. All and all it was a great adventure. I got home at 1130ish and I was SOOO tired. Dang traffic. hehe
