Condo Fun

This past weekend, after the bridal shower McKay and I went and joined my mom's family in Wolf Creek and we hung out with them until Sunday night. Saturday just so happened to be my mom's birthday so we were excited that we got to be there for some of the birthday celebrating. McKay and I gave her a picture of the first presidency for both her's and my dad's birthday. I just fell in love with the picture at the store and I was very excited to give it to her.
We got there late saturday night after a bit of confusion with the directions on how to get there and so we just ate and then had a fun chat with my mom until about midnight. Thanks mom! On Sunday we went to church at a local ward, and then spent the afternoon playing TONS and TONS of board games and eating yummy food. We also were able to have a skype chat with our cousins in Connecticut. Here is my mom talking on video...
This is my cute cousin all dressed up for church, white shirt and everything! haha
This is proof of the amount of games that were played. I took all of these pictures within a two minute period of time...


My little cousins also enjoyed goofing off in front of the camera along with wanting to take a few pictures themselves, and these are the results...




Here are some other pictures that I took of everyone just having a good time...


And ofcourse last but not least, McKay and I. I really like this picture! Probably because I really love McKay in blue. But also it just makes me so happy to think that I am actually married to this guy for eternity! He is so sweet and kind ALL the time. I never imagined that marriage could be this great! I love it and I most especially love him! Thanks for reading our blog!

Bridal Shower for Natalie

So this past weekend McKay's sisters and I threw a bridal shower for Natalie, McKay's brother's fiance. We decided to have a Pampered Chef bridal shower and it was really REALLY fun. I had never been to a Pampered Chef party before and I really enjoyed it. It was also really nice to see all of his family and just hang out with the girls. After the shower we were talking to McKay and his dad and they asked what we did and we responded "What girls do best... eat and spend money" Which basically sums it all up. Overall the food was delicious and I am also very excited for Natalie to get all of her amazing gifts that we ordered for her, she will LOVE having them in her kitchen. Here are a few pictures that I took, sorry I didn't do a very good job at taking that many, I was very focused on the demonstration. :)





Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful night!

Memorial Day Weekend Vacation

Wow we just had one of the best, most exciting, fun filled weekends! Thanks Uncle Ray Paul and Aunt Jennifer for letting us come up and for sharing your amazing cabin with us. It is beautiful!
Early Saturday morning McKay and I headed up to Lava Hot Springs to my cousins cabin and we stayed until Monday evening. And from the time that we got there until the second we left it was chuck full of great activities. I don't really even remember the order that everything happened but basically went... eat, play hard, watch movies, eat, play hard, sleep, repeat... Some of the activities that we did were.
Play games (I completely lost at Trans America)...
watch/play basketball (They have a really nice court up above the cabin and obviously I was the one watching and McKay was the one playing. And besides McKay almost falling down a large hill while playing he did really well. :)...
Go Four wheeling (We took a nice sunday stroll in the neighborhood. Is it sad to say that the four wheeling was probably the most relaxing thing that McKay did the whole time, ok maybe sitting in the hot pools is number one, but four wheeling was a close second.)...


Play Rock Band (oh my goodness! It was so cute to see all the kids rocking out together, they just kept singing "Oh oh Livin on a Prayer" over and over again. Thank heavens for no fail mode)....

Went Swimming at the pool and jumped off the platforms (If any of you know me I ofcourse did not jump off the platforms with many of my other cousins, but McKay and I did go down the water slides that go over the road. At first I was not planning on getting in the water at all, I could tell that McKay really wanted me to so I made a quick change and we had a blast together. And though I doubted the water was actually very warm)...


Along with the regular pool we went to the hot pools a couple of times but that is one activity that I did not get a picture of. Yet it was still VERY relaxing! (here are some before and after pictures)...
McKay and the boys went golfing twice. This was McKay's first time ever golfing and from what I heard he did pretty well for being a newbie. And luckly my uncle and dad love golfing so they had lots of pointers. He said that by the end he was starting to finally figure out which club you use at what times. I am still clueless, but thanks dad and Ray Paul for teaching him!
Also while we were there it happened to be my dad's birthday (I won't say which one) so we had cake and icecream. We also celebrated my cousin's youngest child's birthday Dallin, he was turning 1! He is SO cute!

The boys (or should I say men) also decided that they needed to jump into a pond near their house. And not only did they each do it once, but they felt the need to do it twice each...crazy guys...(P.S. the second one is of McKay)
The last random events of the trip included practice shooting, building new toys for the cabin (the guys built the play helicopter that Mykelti is in below and I think they were only missing one screw... :) TONS OF EATING, church on Sunday at the local ward, Painting nails (yes my dad did ASK for Corinne to paint his nails, oh and we threw in a few naps every so often...








This vacation was a perfect getaway, sorry about the picture overload but they are what tell the story. Thanks for reading and I hope everyone has a great Friday! Oh wait I have one last picture, here is McKay getting some good bonding time with the kids. Haha Love it! Yes that is McKay on the bottom. :)
