Vegas/California 2012

So we just got back from a week long vacation to Vegas and California, so fun! We needed a little getaway before Dal started his 6-week summer classes, and his cousin was getting married in San Diego so we decided to make a family trip out of it. We're way sad that Brandon, Audrey, Aspen, Cory, Jamie and Case couldn't come though! We had a blast and were not ready to come home.  There's a MILLION pics on here, sorry, and they are all kinda out of order.

 On our way to the airport

 Brynn and Shayne at Circus Circus.  Everytime I would pull my camera out Brynn would pose and cheese it for me and Shayne would purposely look away and act like I wasn't there, she is too funny.

 Brynn hanging out with us in Vegas

 The pool Tuesday morning.  There were 5 pools here so it kept us, especially the little girls, busy.  It was like 100 degrees in Vegas that day so we got some sweet tan lines.

 Walkin the strip with everyone

 This was outside the Mormon Battalion in San Diego.  It was a church history site and was way cool, if ya ever go down there thats a place you want to go!

 Dal and Shayner swimming.  The boys and little girls had SO much fun swimming.  They spent every night at the pool and never wanted to get out.

 Shayne and Dal on another pool trip

 Mission Beach San Diego.  Dal and Kory are out boogie boarding and there were dolphins way close to them, you can kinda see them in the picture.  There were a lot more out there, so cool.

 At the Padres vs Diamondbacks game.  No one looks too enthused but we all had a blast.

 Waiting for Tanner and Lindsey to come out of the temple.

 Shayne telling everyone to "stop".  She freakin kills me, she's so funny.  All week she would tell us and strangers to stop and stick her hand out like that and then laugh. She has such a funny personality!

 Outside the temple

 Russ and Liz outside the temple.  We were so glad we got to spend all week with them, thanks for everything!

Brynn swimming with Shayne's floaties.  Love this girl, she is so cute and sweet. She would call me to come down to whatever store she was at with Jenny so that I would come down and look at the jewelry with her, this little girl loves to shop.
I'm so glad Russ and Liz and Kory and Jenny could all come down on this trip cause it really was so fun! I love hanging out with Jenny, she's freakin funny and we get a long so good. 


Now we're back in Logan, we moved....again! We now live in a townhome way off campus so its nice to not be in such a college atmosphere. Dal is taking 2 classes this summer, Physics 2 and Thermodynamics, no clue what that one is ha.  He just started but is doing good so far! I'm still working at Silver Clippers full time and am loving it! I can't believe it took me so long to go to hair school, I should have been doing this for years cause its just so fun for me.  I work with way fun girls and we have a busy walk-in base so it keeps me busy!!

February

So ya, I know it's not February anymore but we actually did do a few things and take a couple pictures so I figure I better document. They are all in a pretty random order because I still don't understand this whole blogger thing...

Random pic of us. Of course if I decide to wear something that says USU then Dal feels the need to make sure to wear a BYU something or other so that people still know we like the cougars lol.

My sweet shoes Dal picked out for me for Valentine's Day! He said he was sick of me wearing "skinnies and boots" so he took it upon himself to help out my wardrobe a little, and I LOVE these shoes.

Ya, he's 24 and he still wanted a remote control helicopter, so that's what he got for Valentine's! Kory Morris had one and all the boys thought it was the coolest thing in the world so of course they all needed one. Good thing it only stays charged for about 10 minutes or we might not get anything done around here ha.

It was FREEZING but he still stayed outside for forever flying.

Dal's b-day in Delta. Of course there's the Brynnster front and center helping out Dal with his presents:) He's been wanting a Blue-Ray player for a long time so I finally got him one, even though I don't understand the big deal completely. He got the Bourne Trilogy on Blue Ray too since him and Garrin are in love with Jason Bourne, haha.

Everything has been good as normal with us:) I have 11 days left of school and have taken and passed all my state board exams so I just have to wait to get my hours so I can get my license and start working, finally!!! I got a job at a salon in Logan called Silver Clippers and am SO excited. Two of my hair school instructors work there too so that will be fun to still have them around.

Dal has been doing way good in all his classes but is ready for spring break to come next week for a break. We won't be going anywhere since I still have school but he'll get to relax and just chill. We'll be going to San Diego in June for Dal's cousin's wedding and have a few more plans for the summer so hopefully we survive til then, but if it keeps snowing up here I might just freak a little bit!

Jazz Game

A couple weekends ago we met Kory, Jenny and the girls in Salt Lake to go watch the Jazz. It was SO fun, they won and they never win when we actually go to a game so it was a good change for us ha.

The girls

No, this is not water, and no, Jenny did not pee her pants, but Shayne definitely did! They ran out of diapers and like no one in the whole ESA had an extra one, so while Shayne was sitting diaper-less on Jenny's lap she peed like this not once, but twice! So sucky for Jenny but everyone else was pretty entertained. Even Shayne ha.


And we now have a nephew! This pic is just from a cell phone, but so cute huh! His name is Case Cory Webb and we are SO excited to finally have a boy in the fam (even though we love the 3 neices tons). Congrats to Cory and Jamie!



Same ol' with us though. Dal's school is getting more and more hectic, we went 2 straight days last week without seeing each other awake but hopefully that will calm down soon. I have a little over a month left of school and can't wait! I've taken all my tests and all that so now I just need to finish up my hours!

1 Year Down...

So, this will be kind of a depressing/poor picked on me/wanna slit my wrists type of post. We have been in Logan for a year now and have decided.....we do not fit in here ha. Everyone we meet thinks we're weird for being from small towns and that we like to play sports, fish, hunt, get ready for the day/wear make-up/not wear a polygamist braid, etc. We have a few friends that are normal but our schedules never seem to work with each other so we don't really do much with them.
Moral of the story is, we miss Blanding, Delta and Cedar! I don't think we realized how good we had it in Cedar when we had tons of married friends around us, plus two of Dal's siblings and their spouses and my sister there too. Whenever we get to go home we never want to leave because we know we are coming back up to this hole where everyone likes to mountain bike and ballroom dance for fun.
So now that I'm done venting, just know I miss everyone and we think you all should take turns visiting us up here in the artic! My mom, Russ & Liz, Jenny & Kory, Brandon & Audrey and Mandi & Jordan have all made the trek so I think it's everyone else's turn!

(Side note: in my last post I said how warm its been up here. Turns out that was a lie cause it's freakin freezing now! Matter of fact, I just slipped on the ice carrying a glass bowl of corn. Let's just say, our neighbors now have a snack outside their door in case they get hungry cause it's too freakin cold to clean it up now).

(Postive note: We love our new apartment, and me and Dal have fun up here just by ourselves. We've been renting lots of movies, playing Idiot (card game), going to USU games, playing Friends trivia, playing Mario Kart (which means we're getting better so we're ready to beat the competition, meaning Cheyna and Dustin) and lots of other stuff. We're not all that miserable...well Dal is, his school sucks this semester, sad for him, but I just had to have a poor picked on me session and get it out of my system.

MISS YOU ALL!!!

SLC Night

Last night we went down to one of Dal's friend's reception in Salt Lake kinda spur of the moment. He is from Delta and he married a girl that grew up with Mandi's friend from Taylorsville, so we had friends there from all over the place. We met up with Mandi, Jordan, Robyn, and Tyson at the reception and it was SO fun to see them all. Mandi and I try to meet up pretty often since we don't live very far away but Robyn lives in Cedar so it was so fun to see her again. Derek, Krista, Jake and Kyle showed met up with us at the reception too so we went to dinner with them afterwards. I was so glad Derek's wife Krista came so I wouldn't be the loner girl and I haven't seen her in so dang long, I love that girl. Here's a few pics from the night...

Christmas/Picture Overload

We're back in Logan after being gone for over a week for Christmas in Blanding and Delta. We had so much fun and had a hard time coming back up for school. These pics are so out of order and I didn't get near as many pics in Delta as I would have liked to so I'll have to next time we go when Cory & Jamie have their baby!

Dal rocking Aspen to sleep. Me and Jenny were watching her that day and she HATED us. We took her to Dal and she was happier than ever.

Sim and Kelli at my grams Jimmer party

Mom and Bry and the toy they gave her, she LOVES it


Cute Bryir:)


Us Christmas morning before church

I thought when we came back up to Logan it would be freezing but we've had this awesome warm weather and it is greatly appreciated up here in the artic! Ha. Dallan has had this whole week off so he's been doing all sorts of projects while I've been at school. He says he's been bored but he'll miss this boring time when he starts up school next week for the start of his junior year in his engingeering program. School for me is still way fun, ready to be done and start working again, but I'll miss hair school too.

Update

So this is the thing....my camera is busted so no one likes to look at blogs without pics, so I had to wait til I got pics that my mom had taken and the ones from my phone to update again. Lots has happened since my last post, so I'll try to throw it all in here.Me and Sim after her first game

Me and Sagan cheering at State Volleyball. This is the last year of state for us, so sad. We've been coming to state volleyball since my older cousins were playing, then between the 4 of us sisters all playing this is just what we do the last weekend of October. Its usually me, Cheyna and Sagan on the front row, dead center of the student section (yes, we are out of high school, we don't care) cheering for Simone but Cheyna was about to have her baby this year so couldn't come. They ended up taking 2nd but Simone played freakin good and it was still way fun. We were out of control cheering like always and lost our voices for about a week.

I don't know why this pic is so small, but this is the last Utah State football game we went to, so much fun! USU sports are alot better than SUU so we try to go to most of the football and basketball games. The only thing that sucks is you can't sit down for the games because EVERYONE stands, so if you're not looking for a good 3 hours on your feet, prob don't hit up a game!

And this is the reason Cheyna couldn't come to state...how cute is she! Bryir Palmer was born Nov. 9th and is the first grandkid on my side. She is so chubby and just freakin cute! It's so weird to see Cheyna and Gar with a baby, but so fun. Yesterday I came down to Blanding because I couldn't wait until Christmas to see her. I sat and held her forever and she is just so good and makes the funniest faces. I love that little girl! I really do have the 4 cutest nieces in the whole world and excited to have a nephew in Feb!

As for update on our life, same ol' thing. Dal couldn't come down to state or to Blanding with me because he has school and work constantly. He is doing way good in his classes and he really likes his job. He just bought a truck so he's been wanting to go out in the mountains but of course we live in Antartica and it's snowing already! He'll just have to wait til spring I guess. As for me, I'm finishing up hair school right now and am so excited to be DONE! School has been way fun but I'm excited to just be in a salon. I have met some awesome people and have the best clients.

This is the latest ombre hair I did on my sister in law, she has wanted it for forever so we finally did it, it looks so good on her!

We are moving to a new apartment in a few weeks which we're excited about, our neighbors above us are probably the smelliest people I've ever lived around, but we're sad about not being neighbors to the Ashton's anymore. We've been hanging out with a few married couples from town and our ward so things have gotten a lot better up there, we actually are really starting to like it! Only taken us a year ha. Come visit everyone!:)
