It's been a busy summer...

Then, on August 25th, it was our first anniversary and my 26th birthday. We went to Utah and stayed with my sister, melissa and her family, Kwan, Isabella, Daisy, and Annie. We stayed in the Anniversary Inn for a night too. Allan got me a rolling pin, a George Foreman grill, a golf hat, tennis balls, a duffle bag, and a 5 month old Shih Tzu (a puppy). We named him Cuni. His hair is really long in this picture but we got him groomed and he looks so cute. Allan also made me a cake. It was a great birthday!

Then, August 19th, it was Allan's 28th birthday! I gave him a John Beck Miami Dolphins jersey which he will be wearing for every BYU game. I also got him the Roger Federrer tennis racket and some other things. I made him breakfast and also made him ribs for dinner (his favorite). Hunter, our little nephew helped him blow out his candle.

Next, we went to Twin Falls and the open house for the Twin Falls Temple. We had a very experienced tour guide, Allan's Mom (She has been to the open house a lot!). We also went golfing with Mom and Doyle. It was a lot of fun and the temple was beautiful!

Then we went camping with Kevin(Allan's brother) and Maria and their kids: Ethan, Kaleb and Ambrie for the 4th of July.

So here are some pictures to update you... First, we went to Southern California. We got to see a lot of my family. It was good to be home and see my cute little nephews Jonah and Eli and also see my parents and sisters. Allan and I spent most of our time at the beach and we also went to Universal Studios.

Allan & I went to Utah for about 4 days to visit my sister and her family and also to go to the Lakers game. They played the Jazz and of course, the Lakers won. It was a really good game though. I couldn't believe how crazy the Jazz fans are and how much they hate the Lakers. But there were actually a lot of Lakers' fans there and towards the end of the game, we were all yelling MVP everytime Kobe had the ball. It was really fun.


We stayed with my sister and her family while we were there. They are living in Clearfield. It was so good to see them and it was especially fun being able to spend time with my 3 neices Isabella, Daisy & Ana Lisa. They are so beautiful.

We went to a farm with the girls and with Sarah and her 2 kids, Will and Liliana. The kids loved seeing the animals and we had so much fun feeding the horses. We picked up the hay off the ground and let the horse eat right out of our hands. The girls thought it was so fun but each time the horse moved or got closer, the girls backed away real fast. Ana Lisa loved the ducks and chased them around the farm for a long time.


We also celebrated Kwan's birthday the weekend we were there. Missy made enchiladas and cupcakes and it was really good.

During our time in Utah, we were also introduced to the Wii. We played a lot! At Missy's house, we mostly played tennis, dance dance revolution, and boxing. I got really into it, a little too into it. When we were playing tennis, I accidentally hit Kwan really hard in the back of the arm in an attempt to hit a short ball over the net. I just had a problem realizing that I didn't have to move or dive to hit the balls and that I could just stay in place. The Wii is so fun and it's such a good work out. Then on our way home, we stopped by our friends' house, Brandon & Tiffany and they had a Wii too. So of course, we had to play. We played Guitar Hero and tennis again (my favorite). Then Brandon and Allan stayed up all night playing baseball. Allan and I decided we're going to get one but only after Allan takes the LSAT. The funny thing is we hate video games but we love the Wii. Ok I've spent way too much space talking about the Wii... Utah was really fun and it was so good to see Missy and her family. We're hoping they come and visit us soon.
