Blue October

2009-08-01T10:56:00.000-07:00

This was the absolute best concert ever!!! We have been listening to Blue October's music for the past year or 2 but lately we've been a little obsessed. It is kind of ridiculous!! This is the only thing playing in our cars.

We went to the concert on July 28 at Saltair with our good friends Tom and Amanda.

Justin Furstenfeld- The lead singer.
He has bumped Jason Stathom and Matthew McConaughey from my #1 spot.
He is so hot!!!!! :-)

Cole and I waiting outside.

The gang!

We were so close... We loved it!

Lead singer of Switchfoot. He was a really nice guy!

And yes... that is us with Justin!!!
Everyone was about to head back to the car but I told them to wait at the chance of seeing the band. Amanda yells "I love you Blue October!" They head over to us and we take a pic and get a few autographs! It was great.

We are heading down to Vegas on Thursday to see their concert again. It'll be awesome!

Here's a little video! I love how he dances... so hot! :-)

Girl's Night & Girl's Night Again

2009-03-18T10:56:00.000-07:00

I am so happy and greatful to be surrounded by so many great girlfriends. Some have been around for many years and we've been through many (mostly) ups and downs together. Then there are new friends either through spouces, neighbors or work. I am one lucky lady to be able to know all you girls! Thanks for your friendship!

Anyways... a few of the Delta wives (husbands are from Delta) and I got together on 03-12-09 to make flower magnets and hair clips. I enjoy the idea of crafts but I don't even attempt to do crafts on my own. I have to be with people and see how things work before I feel comfortable doing things on my own... I need the inspiration!

Of course we had to have a movie going while we worked and we decided on Moulin Rouge. We sang our little hearts out!

We had so much stuff to work with...

Here are some of the finished products.

Jenni and me.

Last night, 03-17-09, some of the girls from high school (Lauren and Angie) and I went and had pedicures done. I love these girls! Not everyone could make it but I am glad we are still doing our monthly get-togethers... 3 in a row.

Yes we all had the same color done.

Angie, Lauren and me.

Weird dream...

2009-03-03T14:25:00.000-08:00

So Monday morning I had a dream that I was at the hospital getting ready to give birth. I remember my mom being there and a nurse. For some reason the nurse tells me the date which is February 20, 2011. Later in the dream I give birth to a boy.

So weird... I'm mainly posting this just for proof incase it does come true and you're all witnesses! :-) Wouldn't that just be waayyyy crazy!

I just can't get over how odd the dream was!

So anywho... how about that bachelor last night. Totally suprised me! All I can say is that it makes for great drama. I honestly never really care what happens (of course you feel sad when the person you like leaves ) I just need to get my fix of drama for the week! But I hope you all enjoyed it like I did. I'm also excited for the ATFR 2 tonight!

Bachelor...

2009-03-02T14:42:00.000-08:00

I don't know about you but I'm pretty excited, as always, for the finale of the Bachelor tonight.

I love and hate this show. Whenever I watch it I'm always making comments on how I hate that I watch this show or how stupid/cheesy/embarassing something is. Cole just sits there and laughs when I make my comments. Secretly I think he enjoys the show too.

I'm not sure what I want to happen tonight. I wanted him to choose Jillian but that won't happen so we'll see what tonight brings. Will he choose Melissa and propose to her with her family there, will Molly be pregnant, will he want to get back with Deanna, will he just X everyone and decide he made a mistake with Jillian... I just don't know!

If you love the show too and want to watch it with someone... give me a call and come to my place. Yes a few of us "Bachelor freaks" are going to watch it together!

Geez our blog is boring...

2009-02-24T15:11:00.000-08:00

Can you tell I haven't been in the mood to post for a while?! So here is our update for the past month or two.

*In our previous post I mentioned Cole and I had our 2 year anniversary. Cole didn't want to do the typical dinner and movie so we decided to do a short get away. We went to Lava Hot Springs for a night to celebrate. On our first anniversary we went to Wendover so who knows... we might have a tradition in the making.
Oh my is this town small!! We went to a little pizza joint for dinner and enjoyed a long night in the hot springs. They were so hot but so relaxing. On the ride home Saturday Cole took me to Grace, Idaho to show me the town he grew up in. It was nice to see the town his family talks about.

*We've been to a couple of Jazz games that have been fun and also not too fun. All I can say is the games are a lot more fun and easier to pay attention to when you have good seats. Thanks to Carrie we were able to sit on the lower bowl for the Memphis game.

*Some of us girls have finally been able to get together for a lunch or movie. My friend Angie had her baby and I hadn't been able to see her yet so we got together for lunch at Olive Garden as usual and at the usual table too.
Last weekend some of us were able to get together to see "He's just not that into you". Thanks for coming girls... It was nice spending time together. Sorry Lauren you weren't able to make it I hope next time you can.
Oh by the way... who is planning the next one?! :-)

*Last Friday (2-20-09) Cole, Griffin, Sadie, Shawn and I went to Brighton to go night skiing and to teach the youngin's how to snowboard. It was an interesting night. I sprained my wrist on the first ride down and spent the rest of the night in the lodge. I wasn't really having fun so honestly I was praying that something would happen to me! :-) Sadie and Griffin seemed to do really well on their first time trying. I hope they will go again. Thanks again Cole for teaching Griffin.

*We were pretty anti-Valentine's this year. The first Valentine we spent together married Cole got me Elli... our cute little (not so little anymore) chocolate lab puppy... and since then he figures he can't beat that so why try right?! We were going to do some window shopping but the weather was so crappy that day that we just went to lunch at Cafe Rio (always good) and just chilled and watched movies the rest of the day. As long as we spent time together that's all that matters.

*Last year for Valentine's Cole gave me a massage gift certificate. Don't ask me what I was thinking but I just barely got around to using it. It was so nice though. I got so sit in a sauna and hot tub for an hour and then had an hour massage. It was great but my back was sore since I asked her to do a deep massage. I think I could go for another one this week! :-)

More to come... hopefully!

YEAH...Happy two years to Cole and me!

This is the only pic I have at work of us.

Our wedding day was perfect, except for the part where I was throwing up all day, (I hope it wasn't a sign :-)). It was cold and snowy but it was great. We are definately going to watch our wedding video tonight. I'll have to post it so everyone can see just how great the day was!!

Time is just flying by. We have definately experienced a lot together over this short time but I am glad that it was all with Cole. And I am excited to experience many more things over the next "forever". Who knows what this next year will have in store?!

Happy Anniversary Coley Woley... I love you babe!

Guess what...

2009-01-09T13:51:00.001-08:00

I am officially done with school.

FINALLY!!!

I finished my Bachelors in Community Health and I plan to walk at graduation in the Spring. This is a long awaited day and I am so glad to be done with homework. But now I have no idea what to do with myself at night. I have way too much time on my hands!!!

Thanks Mom and Dad for everything!!

Starting at the beginning...

2008-11-19T19:23:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of Cole the very first day we met...

hahaha

Cole and I met at a munch and mingle in our ward. My roommates and I had this great calling. After feeding everyone I sat down at a table with my roommate and another new guy in our ward. All of a sudden "this guy" sits down and the first thing he says is

"If my nose disgusts you let me know and I'll go sit at another table."

Funny from the start...

Cole had just moved into our complex. The day before he went fourwheeling with some friends and some how crashed and hit his face on the steering wheel.

Wasn't quite love at first sight but he totally made an impression.

This is Cole a few weeks after we became more serious...

He had a bad accident and broke his neck, flipped a bone in his wrist and broke his foot.

I think he may have taken too much pain medication in this picture. He managed to get himself stuck and fell over trying to get out!

I may have to wrap him in bubble wrap!

Or my kids if they are anything like him.

Love you Coley Woley!!!

Hot Tub Fact...

2008-11-19T13:44:00.000-08:00

Here is a little interesting (well, more gross) fact that I learned in class yesterday...

A person will release 1 pint of sweat when sitting in a hot tub (104 degrees) every 20 mintues.

So...

If you have 8 people sitting in a hot tub for 20 mintues there is 1 gallon of sweat!!!

YUCK!!!

Oh and have you ever seen white foam that is in a hot tub sometimes? Well that's frothy amino acids... ewww!! It makes me gag thinking of little kids putting that on their faces!!

HAPPY HOT TUBBING!!

Lamborghini Estoque

2008-11-18T10:01:00.001-08:00

I think I've decided that when my car has finally given up on me that I will get this car.

I think Cole will totally go for it!

What do you think?

Oh my... mm, mmm, mmmmm!

Happy Birthday To Me!

2008-11-12T14:40:00.000-08:00

This past week has been a pretty good week!!
Wednesday was my birthday so I was able to take half a day off of work which is always nice. I went and got my hair did then that night Cole and I went to Cafe Rio and the Jazz game. I can't believe it is basketball season already. Our friends Tom and Amanda are huge Jazz fans so we usually end up watching majority of the games with them. It was way fun to actually go to the game even though we are totally in the nose bleed section!

Maybe next game we will sit closer!! :-)

My sweetheart of a husband got me this...

for my birthday!!! I was so excited! Ipod's have been out for how long now?!?! I figured it was about time that I get one. Cole has been really sweet setting it up for me and adding music all the time!

Friday at work Cole called and asked if I wanted to head to Las Vegas that night... what the heck right?! His brother and sister-in-law had a room for the weekend so we went and played with them. We had a good time!!

My favorite line of the weekend... Cole sees a Ferrari and says "That's not a Ferrari... that's a rent-a-fari!" He's too funny!!!!!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-03T09:48:00.000-08:00

This Halloween was great! We had a ton of fun buying our outfits!

We went to a Halloween party at our friends house who live in our neighborhood. We had a great time.

This is who Cole is suppose to be. Pumkin off of Flavor of Love.

"I'll spit on you." haha...

This is who I am suppose to be... Flavor Flav.

"Yeah boyyyyyy!!"

Aren't we such a cute couple?!?!

Cole couldn't stand wearing the wig anymore. These 2 pictures weird me out because of Cole's makeup. Oh geez....

He is such a good sports. I'm glad a married a spontaneous, crazy guy!!

Here are some of the other people who came to the party.

70's girl and Austin Powers / Lindsey and Brady

50's girl and ??Goofy/nerd kid with a broken leg??

Captain Jack and Fairy / Matt and Brittany

Batman and Pretty Lady / Jenny and Brent

D-Will and Asain Lady / Tom and Amanda

Ryan dressed as a pervert.

Scarry Skeleton and Bug / Ryan and Shanell (soon to be mommy)

I hope you all had a good Halloween too!!

California Post #1

2008-11-03T08:56:00.000-08:00

FYI... This will be a long post and detailed for my memories.

My parents were sweet enough to take our whole family to Disneyland and SeaWorld at the beginning of October. All 21 of us!!! Quite the crowd.

Breakdown of the trip:

Saturday - Drive to Las Vegas to spend the night.

Sunday - Drive to Anaheim. We stopped in Primm to ride the roller coaster and we hit a killer sale at the outlets.

Monday - First day at Disneyland. It was so fun to be there and see everything decorated for Halloween. One of my favorite rides was the Haunted House because they changed the whole thing to The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Tuesday - Another day at Disneyland.

Wednesday - Drive to San Diego. Went to Tijuana. Went to the beach. Went to a Mexican restuarant with the whole family. It had a great atmosphere.

Thursday - Went to SeaWorld.

Friday - Drive to Mesquite to spend the night.

Saturday - On our way home!

I wish we would have stayed 2 more days in California. I think most of us weren't ready to head home quite yet.

Cole and I are slackers when it comes to taking pictures so these are the few that we took with our camera. I'll be posting more when I get the pictures from everyone else.

Day 2 at Disneyland

Second day at Disneyland. Teacups!

Our goofy pics on the teacups.

Huge Candy Corn.

On the new Toy Story ride. It broke down while our whole family was riding it so we all got a few passes to skip the huge line to ride it again. It was way fun!

I kicked everyones trash the last time we went on the ride and got a score of 160,000!!!

Chris and me

Alisa and me. She really doesn't have crazy eyes!

Cole pretending to be a bug while waiting for the Bug's Life show.

TIJUANA....

Day 3

Hmm... What can I say about this place.

While we were in San Diego we had a free day so we decided to go to Tijuana since Cole had never been there before and I went once when I was really little with my family.

There were drugstores on every corner and I guess if you wear a white coat you are considered a pharmacist.

Honestly this was my least favorite part of our trip. I don't like being pressured by people to look at their selection or try on sunglasses.

Word we heard all day:

"Give me one Mexican minute."

"Honeymooners."

"Pretty lady."

We had to walk over this to get to Tijuana. It smelt like a toilet.

Day 4 SeaWorld

Waiting for the park to open.

First thing we did when we got to SeaWorld was feed and pet the dolphins. It was a really cool experience. Maybe we can swim with dolphins when we go on our cruise.

Cole petting and feeding the dolphin. The stupid bird in this picture stole our last fish from the dolphin. Those buggers are fast!!

First show that we went to.

Stupid us.... the first 8 or so rows don't have any signs on it about being a splash zone. But the rows above us do so we decide to stay where we were at. BAD, BAD idea!!!! We were soaked and it was just the beginning of the day. Most of us girls were upset at first but it kept us cool for the rest of the day.

Picture after the first round of being soaked.

Shamo!

That's all the pictures we have. It was a great time and so fun to spend a whole week with my family. I really enjoy their company.

Thanks Mom and Dad... the trip was a success!!!

Pumpkins

2008-10-30T12:08:00.000-07:00

On Saturday our nice neighbors invited us over to carve pumpkins. It was a really fun night!
Cole carved a scary face and I carved an eyeball.

All of us with our pumpkins. (Peter, Lisa, Aimee, Kelly, Me and Cole)

Fun!!

Thanks you guys. We had a good time!

St. George

2008-09-17T13:20:00.000-07:00

Yeah for girls weekend!!

Every year the girls in Cole's family gets together around Christmas time for a girls night. This year they decided to bag Christmas and go spend the weekend down in St. George and go to Tuacahn. I love Tuacahn and I've been a few times with my parents.

This weekend we saw Big River and Les Miserables. I liked Big River a lot more than I would have thought and Les Miserables was hard to follow sometimes but was really good. I need to go see it again! And sometime I would like to see Thriller.

The weekend was full of food, shopping and a good time. Thanks Jeannie for everything. And next year we really need to hit up Chippendales or The Thunder Down Under!!! :-)

And of course I never take pictures so I have nothing to show for the weekend. I really need to get into a better habit! If only Cole would share the camera!! haha :-)

Pig Abuse

2008-09-17T12:59:00.000-07:00

I like sausage and bacon and all that good stuff but I think I'm turning to an animal activist! I keep hearing about all the abuse that is going on with the pigs used for Hormel and it's disguisting. I won't go into detail because it makes me sick. Ever since we've had dogs I've found this soft spot in my heart for animals. Every time I look on KSL and there's a story on animal abuse I get so sad and upset.

And for a softer place in my heart... I can only imagine how I will be once I have kids of my own. From our discussion at lunch today at work (another discussion that I won't go into details)... if anyone ever touched my kids.......There'll be hell to pay and you better hope that there isn't a weapon within my reach!

If for some reason Cole and I never had kids (which we will in time... don't worry) it will because this is such a horrible place to bring a child into. There is so much evil, all the time. We'll do what we can to provide a home that is safe and has a good environment. And I won't let our kids leave our side when we are on vacation, too many horror stories!

Sorry for such a downer of a post.

Creepy...

2008-09-11T08:38:00.000-07:00

Last night around 4 am Elli starts whining which most of the time means she wants to go see and feed her puppies. So I nudge Cole and ask him if he would take her down stairs. As he is doing that I hear this noise coming from behind our house. (First off there are no houses behind ours, just a trail, a bunch of trees and then the river. Can be creepy sometimes.) At first I thought it was some kind of duck that was stuck or something. Then the noise was happening every 30 seconds or so. Cole finally comes back up to bed and I ask him if he heard that noise and of course he says "What noise?" Then it starts back up again. Over and over again. It now sounds really fake, almost like a squeaky dog toy. Then that noise stops and now it sounds like an owl, over and over again!!!

Lisa did you guys hear anything last night?

Any who... so Cole and I being the dorks we are, slowly slide off our bed and crawl to the open windows and lift our heads barely high enough to stare into the trees to see if we can see anything. We don't want whoever is out there to see us!! ha ha. Finally it stops after like 5 or 10 minutes.

Then as I leave for work this morning it seemed like there were a bunch of cops patrolling the neighborhood.

What kind of creep is out in a field of trees at 4 in the morning making bird noises?!?!?!

For you Mom...

2008-08-28T13:49:00.000-07:00

I guess she checks the blog everyday looking for new pictures of the puppies so here they are!

They will be 5 weeks this Sunday. We have 6 sold already out of the 9, 3 more to go, yeah! They are super cute right now. They are really starting to get personalities and pooping a lot.

Just chillaxin'

She is so cute. She puts her head back and howls like a wolf if she isn't getting enough attention.

I've gotcha!

Well we have them for 2 more weeks if anyone wants to see them!

Pottery Barn/Benjamin Moore

2008-08-22T09:02:00.000-07:00

Has anyone seen the new fall paint colors from Benjamin Moore? OH my... I'm now in the mood to totally re-decorate my whole house. If only I had an unlimited supply of money and the go-ahead from my husband! If you want to see the new colors go to potterybarn.com. They also show the color in a room setting so you can see what it would look like. I also wish I had the money to buy the furniture from there... gorgeous!

I'm sorry but it is true! (and hilarious)

2008-07-29T11:10:00.000-07:00

So my dad sent me an email this morning that has a blog addressed attached to it.
You should all take a look. Well that is if you can laugh at yourself (you bloggers) because it is so true.

It's the married, mormon mommy blog about how exciting "her" life is, all the spiritual moments she has and details about every moment of her great, "so fun" life!! haha

But as I read on another blog, which explains me and probably a whole bunch of people, is that I don't journal, I don't do detailed scrapbooking so why not blog, right?! (especially if you can spare 5 minutes at work) :-) shh..

Elli and Hawk had their puppies!! We got home late Saturday night after watching movies with some friends and let the dogs inside the house. Elli was acting very strange so we decided to stay up because we were pretty sure that she was going to have the puppies. What a long night!!

haha... this was Cole's idea to go up stairs right now since Elli just had her first puppy at 3:16 am, a girl. How exciting. She is already being a good mother and cleaning the puppy well.
Well, I'll post some more tomorrow and pictures to come.
I'M SO SCARED!! :-)
WISH US LUCK.

A great story...

Two weekends ago the West family went on our yearly Bear Lake trip. Shawn and Alisa were nice enough to bring their jet ski's for us to use. As we were waiting our turn to dock the ski's we were admiring the fancy boat behind us. It was brand new and had all the fixings... nice speakers, wake boards all hung up and a nice tower.
So we put the boys and the toys in the water and Alisa and I start to drive the car up the dock as the fancy boat heads on down to the water. All of a sudden we watch as the boat starts to SLIDE OFF THE TRAILER. The boat was stopped by the propeller smashing into the ground.
Alisa and I are shocked because we didn't want to boat to hit us and plus there were people inside the boat. I guess the people unhooked the rope at the front of the boat!!! HELLO... You would think if you had that nice of a boat you would know how to operate it! From what I remember there were 4 kids and 2 grandparents just relaxing in the boat as this all happened but everyone was safe.
Later we heard that it took a bunch of guys to lift the boat on the trailer enough to re-hook it and then they had to put the boat in the water to put it all the way back on. What a bummer day for that family!!
But we had a great time. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Last night for family night we decided to go check out the Spanish Fork Carnival that was set up just down the road with our friends Tom and Amanda. Since the rides were on discount for family night Cole and I decided to go on a few rides. I have always loved rollercoasters and how it makes your stomach drop but last night was way too much. Tom and Amanda only lasted one ride (probably smart!). By the 2nd ride I started to feel sick but no we had to use all our tickets! After the 5th ride we had to head home. It was still a fun night and it's always fun to see the kind of people that show up to these things.
