I had to get a picture of her cute hairdo!

She loves any kind of candy...

Football with Daddy!

Jonathon's family moved to American Fork about a month ago.. And we went up there on our week off to visit.. Grandma Celena has a very very comfy bed and I can always find Jonathon laying on it watching football.. Alexis also loves to lay in Grandma's bed so I found the two of them cuddling and watching some football!! It was so cute!!

Lexi swimming with friends in Ticaboo!

We got really lucky when Jonathon's cousin Shaleen and her husband got a job down here.. And our friends Clint and Tonya.. Shaleen has a cute little girl named Aria.. and Tonya has a little girl named Mialee.. and also a little boy named Nixon.. So Alexis has some friends down here.. Well we decided to start having little playdates.. and our first one was at Tonya's.. The kids wanted to go swimming so we filled up the little pool and let them go!! Of course I forgot my camera.. Dorky me.. but Shaleen went and got hers.. So I stole these from her.. I hope she doesn't mind.. But they were all so cute.. Splashing around and having a blast!! They all have a lot of fun together :)

A friend living under our house!!

Jonathon found this Gopher snake under our house when he was putting his dirt bike away after going for a ride.. He thought it was so cool because he loves snakes.. Gopher snakes aren't harmful at all.. they are actually really good to have around.. They keep the mice away!! So after he took it around to all our friends and family.. I made him put it back under our house.. This was taken a couple of weeks ago...

A few more Cruise Pic's..

I know I posted plenty of cruise pic's.. but I stole these off of Summer's blog.. She had an underwater camera and was able to get some pretty cool shots of all of us scuba diving in Cabo.. So here are a few.. And I also wanted to post the pic's of Jonathon and I on our horses on the beach in Ensenada that Summer was able to get!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHON!!

Jonathon is turning 22 today!! I just wanted to write something to let him know how much we appreciate him.. Today probably hasn't been the best b-day so far.. He's been at work for 11 hours and just got home about an hour ago.. He doesn't know it yet but I'm having some family and friends come over for cake and ice cream and some fun games! There really isn't anything too exciting to do in Ticaboo!! But I want him to know that I appreciate the hard worker he is.. and how important it is to him to be able to support our family.. He's such a great daddy.. and we love him so so so much!! He is the best husband.. WE LOVE YOU BABE!!

The Dentist :(

So I went to the dentist this morning for a check-up and cleaning.. Let me just say first that I have not been to the dentist since 2003... Yeah a long time.. I HATE the dentist.. for some reason.. But anyways about a year ago, I was chewing gum and a piece of one of my back tooth came out.. Yeah it was so weird.. It wasn't a big piece but still enough to where I should have definitely gone to the dentist.. But of course I put it off and it's been like that for about a year.. (I know I'm horrible.) So today they told me I had to get a root canal on that tooth.. and mentioned that if I was pregnant at the time I could not have happy gas.. Well most of you know Jonathon and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 2 months now.. And still no luck.. So my appointment was scheduled for Oct. 30th but they had a cancellation today and I'm going in at 2:00 to get the root canal.. I'm pretty much freaking out.. But want to get it over with.. At least I can have happy gas!! So we'll see how it goes.. I was pretty proud of myself though.. I only had one cavity which to me is pretty good considering I hadn't been for years..

Photo's of Lexi in Ticaboo!

Lexi loves to go outside and play.. But when we first moved here it was a little hard to let her do that.. There was so much dirt and a lot of poky plants everywhere.. We've planted grass and last weekend my mom, dad, little brother, Jonathon, and I went and got some gravel and made a good looking drive-way.. Then we also planted some yucca plants and made a little rock bed out front.. So now Lexi takes her bucket and collects all the rocks!!

Fun pic's my mom took of Lexi!!

Alexis spent a week with my mom when me and Jonathon went on the cruise.. And my mom took some really cute pic's! I just got them from her the other day.. And I just thought they were so cute.. She really has a lot of fun in Monticello! My mom has a beautiful yard.. so it's fun to take lots of pic's! Alexis wanted to hold on to her apple for the pic!
Her favorite thing to do in Monticello... Chase Cocoa!
Lexi and her Grandpa...

Lexi smiling big!

I love this one!! I think it's so cute..

Gordon B. Hinckley 97 days.. Book of Mormon Challenge!

President Hinckley often stressed our making the Book of Mormon part of our lives. He was 97 when he passed away, and we would like to celebrate his life and teachings by reading the Book of Mormon in 97 days.
President Gordon B. Hinckley on the Book of Mormon
"I take in my hand the Book of Mormon. I read its words. I have read Joseph Smith's explanation of how it came to be. To the unbelieving it is a story difficult to accept, and critics for generations have worn out their lives writing books intended to refute that story and to offer other explanations than the one given by Joseph the Prophet. But to the open-minded, this critical writing has only stimulated them to dig deeper; and the more deeply they dig, the greater the accumulation of evidence for the validity of Joseph Smith's story. Still, as has been demonstrated for a hundred and fifty years, the truth of the Book of Mormon will not be determined by literary analysis or by scientific research, although these continue to be reassuring. The truth about the origins of the Book of Mormon will be determined today and tomorrow, as it has been throughout the yesterdays, by reading the book in a spirit of reverence and respect and prayer."

Thanks to Amanda Freestone, I decided to take this challenge! Jonathon is doing it with me and has been reading while driving truck at work! (He doesn't actually read while driving.. just while waiting for a load.) Then we talk about what we read the next day!!

Mission Beach, San Diego.. Last stop....

After Sea World we went to Mission Beach.. It was so pretty.. Jonathon was really brave and hoped right into the water.. It took me a couple minutes but eventually we both got in and had a blast.. It was so much fun!! This was the last thing we did on our vacation and it was really nice to be able to relax on the beach and swim in the water.. We had such a great time on our vacation and did so much in a week!! We'll definitely return to San Diego soon.. And hopefully we'll do another cruise soon as well... So I posted a lot of pic's like I said I would.. I hope everyone enjoys and doesn't get a headache from looking at so many pic's...

Day at Sea World..

Our last day on our vacation was a trip to Sea World.. it was so much fun.. All the shows were so cool.. We probably would've had a little more fun if Alexis was able to be there with us.. But we will definately be taking her sometime soon! It was a great way to spend the last day of vacation..



I love dolphins.. they were so cute..

I think the picture of this fish is so cool..

The Polar Bears were so neat.. They were huge..
