Some family pictures

X Men Origins: Wolverine

So yeah the world premeier for the new X Men movie was in Tempe, Arizona today!!! My friend Erin and I went to it. It was so much fun to just be hanging out, just the girls. Seriously, Hugh Jackman and the rest of the cast were within 10 feet of where we were standing!!!! When Hugh got there, he didn't arrive in a limo. He rode up on a motorcycle!!!! How hot is that? LOL!!!!! Anyways, it was pretty exciting for us since we're both huge fans of Hugh Jackman. We'll both be dragging our husbands to that movie as soon as we can!!! I took some pictures but they look really blurry so I'll post more when Erin emails them to me!!!

This chic was pretty cool. She's one of Harkins Theatres promo crew members. We got filmed because we looked like we were teenagers (not really but we thought it was nice to think so) and we were having fun!!! Would you believe that she's 40 years old? I thought she was 30.!!!

Goes to show that big guys should NOT wear tight costumes!!! It wasn't any better closer up.

SORRY THEY'RE SO FUZZY!!!

A day in the life......

So Brig and I were going to watch a movie the other day and the "Ring of Death" appeared on our X-Box 360. For those that don't know what that means, instead of a circle of green lights when you turn it on, its 3 red lights that make the circle. So Tyler has been trying to fix it the last few days. In fact he's pretty much just has to put it back together to see if the instructions that he followed actually worked!! Cross your fingers!!!
We went to breakfast with my in laws this morning. Talk about COLD!!! For Arizona anyways. It was their ward breakfast and they had it outside. The only problem was was that it was raining!!! But hey as long as the food is good, who cares right? Right! Brig has fun standing in the rain getting wet. He'd stand between the 2 tents that were pitched and let the rain drip in big drops onto his hair and face. He had big smiles for everyone after that!
I'm finally going to be getting in shape. I got 1 year membership to 24hour Fitness for my birthday. The only prob with that is that I've been sick. I'd love to work out right now but its a little hard to when you can't really breathe very well. Darn allergies and sinuses.

Friends

So I was going through some pictures that I have and I came across some fun ones of some friends. For those who are in the pictures, let me know if you want a copy and I can get one printed. :) And Jo, I just found a cute wedding picture of yours that I took so if I can get your new address, I'll mail it to you along with a picture of Emma.

This past week

So this past week has gone by. Not to much has happened but quite a bit has. We all finally got medicine going to help us feel better. Our friends/neighbors moved to Idaho on Wednesday. We already miss them alot. They were fun to hang out with and great to talk to when we needed someonelse to talk to. We've started watching Lord of the Rings (the extended version) with our friends Drew and Aimee. Its been funny. Every time they've been over, Drew just happens to leave something at our house. First it was his laptop. Second was his nano-ipod. Last night he left his wallet. We don't mind, we just think its really funny. Now is General Conference weekend. Because of Brig and Tyler and my self not feeling all to great yet, I have only heard parts of Saturdays sessions and Sunday morning. Now I've listening to the Sunday afternoon session and hoping against hope that Brig will take a nap soon. We found out that Brig has a doublt ear infection, an eye infection, and a cold. Tyler has an almost-sinus infection. and I just have allergies and a sinus infection. Sucks to be us right now. I talked to my sister Afton today. I can't wait to see her next month. It been way to long since I've seen her.

Things that have and are happening.....

So while Tyler and I had family in town this last week, I got a call from a family friend last Sunday asking if I needed her to watch Brig for me while we go and help look for my dad and little brother Tanner. I had NO clue as to what was going on. I tried calling my parents house, my sister Emily, and finally got hold of my brother in law Jason. Apparently my Dad and little brother Tanner had gone on a 3 day hike and never showed up the day before like planned. Oh my gosh is all I could say without busting into tears. I just sat there shaking so bad. I told Tyler and he could see the tears that weren't falling. So I called Amber back and told thanks but no thanks. Finally got hold of my Mom for a few mins while she had reception on her phone. She wanted me to go help watch kids since she didn't need me helping to look. Luckily, Dad got a call through to Mom saying they were all right and that the path they were supposed to be on was hard to get to so they had taken a different trail and ended up at the I-17. Some nice guy was giving them a lift back to where my Mom and 2 sisters and half the guys from their ward were. So all's well that ends well. I told Dad never to scare me like that again. He said he'd try but wasn't making any promises.

So our friends next door are moving this week. Jo and Jeremy and EmmaLee are amazing people, even if Emma likes to scream alot. We're going to miss them alot. It's going to be strange to have new neighbors. I'm going to miss having Emma around all the time and talking with Jo about almost all things under the sun. Jeremy's a good and fun to joke around with so I'm going to miss him as well.

We'll be in Utah this next weekend. Tyler had a mission reunion he would like to go to since the last one was way to stressful while we were there. We'll be staying with my grandpa and step-grandma up there that hasn't met Brig yet but who love the pictures that we have shown. When we told my in laws that we would be going to Utah Conference weekend, my father in law started laughing. He brought up our last trip to Utah. It was 2 years ago and I was 5 months pregnant and had to gotten my insulin pump not to long before. I had flown to Utah ahead of Tyler because he had to work or something like that. He ended up driving up with Jo (also 5 months preg at the time) and Jeremy because his flight was over booked. Couldn't even get on the next morning it was so packed. So while Tyler, Jo, and Jeremy are still 6 hours from Salt Lake, I get admitted to the hospital due to very high blook sugers that wouldn't come down. Turned out that I had hit a point that where I just wasn't getting enough insulin from my pump and had to readjust it. So because of that we never made our flight to Idaho to visit my family up there. Still haven't been there since I've been married (but that's going to change this year---4th of July baby!!!!!).
I told Rick (father in law) that there were 2 differences this year. I'm not pregnant and we're not flying. My dad also pointed out that now I know how to work my insulin pump better now too. So this year should be lots of fun because my sister Jamie will also be in Salt Lake and hopefully staying with Grandpa and Marrdy as well!!!! I can't wait to see her.
