Summer Nights...

After work on Saturday Jason and I went up Hope campgrounds, up by Squaw Peak to spend our evening. We found our camping spot, then went and hunted down some wood to make our fire. That was a pain and a half, Jason ended up with some scratches on his hands and by his eye trying to chop it all in half.
We brought our own little grill, cooked us up some chicken and baked beans; quite the camping meal... Luckily, Jason has turned out to be quite the camping/mountain hero (only because of his Mesa friends that taught him well...) The camp fire took us a while to get going, I think we used enough napkins to get it started...Hopefully next time it could all come with a little more ease.......

Sacramento

A couple weeks ago Jason and I drove out to Sacramento to visit his fam! We drove all Saturday night and finally arrived there at about 4 in the morning! My brother moved to San Jose area with his family a couple of months ago so him and his family were able to come to Sacramento to see us and stay the night at the Ivancich's house. It was so good to see them and have fun hanging out by the pool with them!
On Monday, which was the 4th of July, we drove to San Fran to see Jason's aunts, uncles, and cousins. We had fun lighting fireworks and hanging out with the extended family. While we were there we were able to go to a Giants game. It was mormon night, so it was funny to see the missionaries sing the National Anthem.
And of course while we were there we had to make a little pit stop at the casino to do a little gambling. I didn't gamble because the blackjack tables minimum bet was $10. Jason played though and hurry and won $40 so we called it a night.
Sacramento was lots of fun and I can't wait until we go back!

Giddy Up!

We went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo with our friends and had lots of fun! My personal favorite part was when all the little kids got into the rodeo ring and chased around 2 calves that had dollar bills taped to their backs. It was hilarious!

Summa Time

Jason and I got to go to the pool for the first time this summer!


But we obviously weren't prepared so we ended up looking like this...



Ouch! Mine is already starting to heal and the redness has gone down a lot, but Jason still looks like a lobster!

After we went swimming on Saturday we went back to the summer fest to meet up with some friends and watch the fireworks! We had Casey's scooter for the day so we had lots of fun crusin on that in the warm summer evening :) We are thinking about buying a scooter for our selves. They are so fun to ride on and the gas is so dang cheap!

Worst blogger ever...

I haven't blogged in forever! I think it's because I feel like I have had to do something important or really fun for it to be important enough for people to actually read. And we haven't done anything too crazy lately.... but I wanted to blog anyways! And I want to start taking more pictures and documenting even the small stuff we do.

Last week we went to our friends house and I got to hold the cutest puppy! I wanted to take him home with me!


Thursday was Casey's 23rd birthday so we went and had dinner at Iggy's with his friends.


We went to the Summer Fest last night with our friend Kylie who is in town from Dallas! And with my mom and sister and her kids. Yes it was white trash and yes it reminded me of high school but it was lots of fun and the kids loved going on the rides!
My sister Jen and I went on the Zipper together and laughed the whole time! It has been like 5 years since I've gone on that ride and for Jen it has been 10 years.








On a sad note, yesterday morning I went to my brother's house to help him and his family move. They moved to California because he got a job there. I am so sad! At least they live only 2 hours away from Jason's parents so when we go to visit Jason's family in Sacramento we can also make a pit stop and visit Michael and his family!

As of lately...

I have been really bad about blogging lately... so here are some things that we have been up to.

Celebrating my mom's and Camille's birthday



My brother is moving to California with his family on Sunday for his job, so we celebrated EASTER EARLY with everyone! We went to his house and ate lots of food, colored eggs, played ping pong, and rode kids and adults dirt bikes. It was so fun! And we are all so sad that they are moving!












Jason's birthday was last Monday so for his birthday we had some friends over for cake and ice cream, and he went golfing, and we went out to dinner. Then my family surprised him with a birthday cake, which he wasn't expecting because he didn't want to have a family birthday dinner.



A couple nights ago we went out to dinner with Alex and Taylor. After that we met up with Ash and went and listened to Ian's band. They were way good and it was fun hanging out with everyone.

Ivancich's in Town

Jason's family came in town a couple weeks ago and we had lots of fun! His brother Tyler came up with some friends for Conference weekend so he stayed with us for a couple of days. Jason's mom and dad (and Bella the dog) stayed at my sister Jen's house because they have a little more room then we do in our small apartment :)
We went shopping, played LOTS of games (including one my mine and Jason's new favorite game called Farkle) and had fun hanging out. While Larry was here it was his birthday so we surprised him with a birthday dinner at Iggys with some family and friends. It was so fun having the Ivancich's here and I can't wait until we see them again!
