Our lazy Saturday!!!

This past weekend we had a very lazy Saturday. I ended up not working so we just hung out at home all day. Darrell and Yoko look so sweet cuddled up sleeping on the couch!

 So, Darrell and I don't have any kids to post pictures or videos of, but we do have a pretty sweet dog so you will all just have bear with me! When Yoko was sleeping next to me on the couch Saturday afternoon She was dreaming and it was so funny I had to run for my camera to record it so I could share it with everyone! 

 

 Saturday night we hung out with Kelsey and Blake. After a lot of debating between chipotle and Pei Wei's for food we chose Pei Wei's (Darrell was a little sad). Blake drove and while we were driving down the freeway on our way home there was this truck with the back completely full of furniture. Suddenly a couch fell out the side of the back of this truck and blake had to swerve so it didn't hit his car and kill us all. It was a little scary! We had decided we wanted to watch the Olympics basketball game between the U.S.A. and Spain but it didn't start until 12:30 am so we stayed up and waited for the game to start and then when it did start it didn't end until 2:30 in the morning! But the good old U.S.A. won the game so it was all worth it! 

So back to our dog... She LOVES Blake. Whenever Blake comes over she won't leave him alone. She's always trying to play and cuddle with him. This is her trying to eat his foot while he was busy watching the game. Saturday was a great day!

My Birthday!!

This past weekend I turned 24! I had a great birthday this year. My Mom and Dad made me a great dinner for my birthday two weekends ago. They gave me this really cool book with all of Jane Austen's novels combined. Last Thursday night we went out with some of our good friends Kelsey, Blakey, Fat Tim, and Challa. We went to Mi Ranchito (it has been my favorite place to eat for as long as I can remember) and then we went to a movie. It was so much fun! I usually work only on the weekends but I took Saturday and Sunday off to relax for my birthday. It was a great weekend. My parents took our family to Lagoon for the day for mine and my older brothers birthdays (his was in June). We haven't been for a long time! We had so much fun riding rides and just being together. The best thing we did that day was driving the go carts! My Dad accidently hit some random girl and made her spin out on the track! As we were leaving we played the game where you have to slam the hammer down on the little post to supposedly test your strength (hopefully that makes sense) and my Dad and my sister won me a stuffed killer whale. Darrell was so sweet for my birthday too! He made me breakfast in bed, took me to a movie (one that all of his friends would make fun of him for really bad), made me a yummy steak dinner (with roasted potatoes and roasted green beans) and he bought me a new phone! All in all it was a great birthday. Thanks for all the birthday wishes from everyone! 

Our week...

This week is crazy for us! This past weekend Darrell went with my dad down to Cleveland, UT to help out on my dad's ranch. They hauled hay, fixed the tractor, and then Darrell picked up rocks while my dad mowed a field. Their ride home got interesting when their hay on the trailer caught on fire!! After they took care of that they finally got home and we had a yummy barbecued chicken dinner. I had school all day Monday and Tuesday. On Friday Darrell's mom and sister are coming from New Mexico! We are excited because we don't get to see them that often. On Saturday we will be going with them to Darrell's moms family reunion in Idaho. Darrell is glad he gets to take me to one of his family functions since he goes to mine frequently! I don't have any pictures of Darrell at the ranch): It wont be the last time he goes though so don't worry! 

Yoko

I am really glad we have such a sweet dog. She really hates taking baths though!

It's been a while...

Darrell and I have been so busy the last few months!! I haven't posted anything in a long time so I guess I better get on it. 

May is a busy month in my family because of all the birthdays

My moms birthday is on the 8th of May and Darrell's is on the 9th so we did a cake for them together. It had quite a few candles on it. 

To celebrate Darrell's birthday we had a bunch of friends over and we had a barbecue. It was a lot of fun! We smoked pork and ribs and played rock band all day!

This is my little brother Clint and my little cousin Rayne. They also celebrated their birthdays in May. Clint turned 19 and Rayne turned 6. 

To celebrate my moms birthday a bunch of us went to the zoo . She had been wanting to go for a long time and we hadn't been in forever so it it was fun!

My little brother Clint graduated from highschool!! It was kind of weird to watch walk across the stage to get his diploma. I can still remember when he was born...

Darrell and I had our one year anniversary on June 22nd!! I could not believe we had been married for one whole year! It really went by way fast. 

Last week we took my little brother Clint to the MTC. He is going to the Canada Halifax mission and we already miss him a lot. 

This past weekend we celebrated my Grandpa Heiniger's 70th birthday! It was so much fun!! We had a huge barbecue at this park in American Fork. My Aunt Carol and her husband Kevin brought a HUGE rotisserie and we barbecued a 45 pound turkey! There was a hill at this park so we also had a giant water slide going down the hill. Happy birthday Grandpa we love you!!

Here is a video of Darrell and I going down our water slide at my Grandpas party!

Well it is a really long post but it will give everyone a good idea what we have been up to lately!

We are moving!

So a couple of weeks ago Darrell and I found out that we have to move out of the basement apartment where we have been living since we got married last June. For some reason it really stressed me out BAD!! I'm not sure why I freak out about such things. Anyway, After a lot of panicking and searching we found an apartment!!! I know it probably doesn't seem like a big deal but I have a hard time with big changes and we have a dog (that we are very attached to) so it was hard to find somewhere. But we did it and we are very excited! It is only 3 or 4 blocks from where we live now here in good old American fork! We will have tons of space and a dishwasher!!!! I think the dishwasher is Darrell's favorite part about the place. I am mostly just glad I can stop worrying about where we are going to be next month!

Camping with the Mills family!!!

This past weekend Darrell and I went camping with my family for the Mills family reunion out in the desert. Neither of us had been camping in a few years so we had a lot of fun! Darrell did some shooting with my Dad, Grandpa, Clint, and Tracy. We roasted hot dogs over the fire, we went four wheeling, and climbed over and under some really big rocks. My dad also made a few delicious dutch oven meals. We had so much fun spending some quality time with the family outdoors!
