Finally, a new post!!

Thank you to all of you who haven't given up on us! I'm so sorry it has been so long since I've done a post. It has been a pretty rough month for Mike and I. It seems like when it rains, it pours. It's just been one thing right after another but instead of focusing on the bad, we want to share some of the fun/good things. :)

In August, Mike and I got to go to Lake Powell. We had a blast! That has got to be one of the best, most relaxing places to vacation. Here's a few pics of our wakeboarding skills.


We also went to Bear Lake. I love going to Bear Lake. We used to go to Bear Lake every year when we were little. I have so many memories from up there. I couldn't help but shedding a few tears as we drove down the main street and the flood of memories came back to me.

Of course with Mike, we couldn't get a good normal picture.
As most of you know... Mike is always the life of the party. The Box Elder County Fair was no exception. We convinced him to ride the mechanical bull. It was the highlight of the night for me and everyone who went with us. We were laughing so hard, we couldn't talk. He, needless to say, was a little sore afterwards.

Awhile back, it was one of our best friend's birthday. There was a big inside joke between all of us and so Mike decided he was going to make a shirt. He went to Michael's and bought the shirt and iron-on letters. I was sooo impressed when I got home and saw how well he had done. I didn't even know he knew how to work the iron.

Well, what do you think?

Montana Slideshow!

Montana

I can't believe how fast time flies. I've been behind on my blog so here's a little update. Over Memorial Day, Mike and I got to go to Montana and see his friends from High School. We love going back to Montana and try to get back there at least once a year.

This year I finally got to see the "Great Falls." They were beautiful. This whole time Mike had been telling me that the Great Falls aren't that great, but it was pouring rain and so they were awesome! There is 5 different waterfalls that are along the Missouri River that runs through the city of Great Falls.
Mike's best friend Zach and his wife Megan had a baby boy, Max on Valentine's Day. He is so cute! Thanks Zach and Megan for making our trip so fun!

What a crazy month!

We've had quite the crazy month so far... On May 1st, Mike was out riding his dirt bike at the track like usual and was not using good judgement. I got a phone call, while I was at Melina's with my mom, that Mike had dislocated his shoulder. We spent the rest of the night in the ER and found out he actually had an AC seperation in his shoulder. There was nothing they could do except just let it heal so he's been really struggling trying to do everything with one arm.

(the bones at the top are supposed to be connected)


The next day was my graduation!! YEAH! I graduated from Weber State with a Masters in Accounting! It was awesome! (except for the shoulder brace in the pics)

After graduation, we flew to Vegas for the Supercross finals. It was so fun! The only downer was Chad Reed won... BOO not our favorite person to say the least. We went with the Shaw's and they are awesome! It was good times!

Supercross Time!
