My wife is kookoo for coco puffs! That is all.

Ladies Night

Last night I went out with a group of girls from work. We decided to go out to eat and then to the club. I hadn't been to a club since my batchelorette party a little over a year ago. We went to Buca di Peppo then off to Devils Martini in North Scottsdale. I forgot my ID so I called Zac and he came to the restaurant and brought me my ID. Truly the best husband ever. The night was was so much fun!!! There were 5 of us. 4 married, one single and 3 with children. I haven't been to a club since Ive been married so it was a little awkward at first but we just danced in a group, people watched and laughed at each others dance moves. Clubs have changed over the years. When I was in my early 20's I went to the clubs and guys would come up and dance with you and you would either dance with them or turn your body away from them. Now the guys don't come up to you and start dancing. Its a group of girls dancing with a guy or two in the group or guys dancing solo. Guys mostly talked to the girls at the bar. Only one of us got picked up on...and it wasn't me. :) I got home around 2 and was so tired but it was a blast

THANK YOU!!!

Last night we were having "blog talk" and everyone has the cutest background for thier blogs. I havent had the time to work on my background so my friend Jen offered to do it and she did a wonderful job!!! I love it. Thanks Jen :)

Showlow

My older brother and his wife invited up to his boss's cabin the day after the 4th. We had a ton of fun. The cabin is huge!!! 5 bedrooms 4.5 bathrooms, game room, movie room with leather automatic reclying chairs, off road vehicles, 1500 sq foot garage with basketball court. Ya the garage is the same sq footage as my house. So here are the pics from our trip.

Here is Zac with the bear that is carved out of metal and is on their porch and its HUGE...we laughed so hard with this lovely pose. Heres the 4 of us posing in front of the bear. We had to use the timer in order to take the picture, hence the bears head is cut off.

We also went off roading, that was a lot of fun. Jason & Emily strapped the baby into the Polaris and Zac and I were behind them and off we went. We almost tipped once, kinda scary but so fun. Zac is an outdoorsman and had the situation under control. Quinn didnt even cry during the ride, he only cried when we stopped. This same time last year Zac and I went to his aunt and uncles cabin in Showlow. We drove up to his families homestead then up to Greenspeak. We ended up taking our engagement photo there so we thought it would be fun to do the same pose one year later. Most of you will recognize the photo from the wedding announcements . My little brother and his family were also up in Showlow. His wifes family lives up there so they too got to hang out with us. It was a family filled weekend. The last 2 trips I have taken were without Zac so it was so nice to go out of town with him. I dont get to spend enough time with him and I truly can't get enough of him.

ZAC

Zac has asked that I share with my fellow bloggers that he doesnt do most of the chores that they are split equally among the 2 of us. Hope that makes you feel better honey :)

Washer & Dryer..YEAH

I have been using the same washer and dryer for the last 20 years...YES 20 years. My family moved here in 1987 and purchased a used washer and dryer. I still remember the day my mom taught me to do the laundry and which buttons to push. I moved out in 2002 and my parents graciously gave me the washer and dryer. Zac, my wonderful husband, does most all of the laundry, among several other things around the house. He has been complaining about the washer not washing his clothes right, putting fuzz balls on his shirts, he has found holes in his shirts etc. My clothes, not a problem. So we went looking for a front loader washing machine and we found one we liked at Spencers. I was telling my bro in law Greg about them and his friend happens to know the General Manager of Spencers & he said he could get us a deal. So rather than getting just a washer we also got a dryer. We were going to hold off on the dryer so we could go to Portland but if we bought both we would save almost $300, so here is a picture of our savings account...I mean washer and dryer. I have to admit I do love them, they work way better than the old one and whites really do seem whiter and the clothes dry so much nicer.
