Beards, Yuck!

NO BUENO!

Issac was trying to grow out a beard for his Halloween costume, he wanted to be a Spartan from 300! For those of you who have seen Issac try to grow facial hair know it comes in kind of blotchy and not very thick, but he still tried and was determined to grow it.

My dad has had facial hair for as long as I can remember and I think I'm not a fan because every time the beard area would start to grown a little he would give us whisker pies! Basically it's him rubbing his prickly cheek up and down your cheek and it feels like he's ripping your skin off! He thought it was so funny. So when Issac wanted to grown it out that's all i could think of.

Issac had grown it out for about 3 1/2 weeks and luckly for me he couldn't handle it anymore. It started to itch so he decided to shave it off but had to do it in stages so here are some pictures of the process....

Day date

Headed up the Coaster

A week ago Issac had the whole week off of school for fall break and I wanted to do something fun and since we both had to work the only day we could do anything was on Wednesday, that's my day off. I tried to surprise Issac about what we were going to do but it didn't work out that way which was ok because I was still excited to go on our date! I don't know why but for some reason I think if you make it a surprise it will be more fun!

I planned the date and decided we were going to go to Park City and have lunch at Loco Lizard then go ride the Apline slide and Coaster. Issac had never done either of these and it was the last week it was open so i thought it would be a fun day date.

We had a great time, the weather was perfect and there were no lines! The only bad parts where that you only get to go down once on each ride and the Chocolate Factory was closed! It's only open on the weekends now, what a bummer! We both highly recommend the Alpine Coaster and don't push on the break!

Well thanks to my Hubby for spending the whole day with me, for making me laugh and knowing I'll always have fun with him! I love you so very much!!

HEE HAW!!!

Issac roping his bull head

Yep i beat him!

Over the weekend Ashley and her family came into town. We wanted to do something fun with the kids, my other sister Kristin heard of this place in Pleasant Grove called Hee Haw. It was more of a fun place for kids but i think Issac had just about as much fun as they did! Ashley's sister-in-law and her three kids came along with us.

From the street it didn't look like it had much to do but when we got there they had a slide, animal train ride, petting zoo, hay ride, pumpkin patch, and a corn maze just to name a few of the things you can do there. Everyone had a great time and the weather was great! I'm glad its still sunny and all but bring on the real fall weather!

Porter wasn't a big fan of the slide and petting zoo, he kept telling me "keep me in your hands linda"! Its so fun when they come to visit and see Issac playing with the kids, they sure do love him!

Last day of fun in the sun!

He had me take it off the hook for him

It was just a little dusty

Last weekend Issac's Dad invited us to go with his work up to Tibble Fork and ride four wheelers. We weren't about to pass up the offer especially since the weather has been so nice so we wanted to enjoy one last fun weekend.

We got up there and they cooked LOTS of meat and had other yummy food! One perk of Issac being from Mexico is that we can have great Mexican food whenever we like! After we ate, we headed up to Tibble Fork Lake and everyone played in the canoes and we headed up on the four wheelers. We went up to silver lake and it was a beautiful ride. The leaves were starting to change and it was very sunny. We couldn't ask for anything better!

After our ride Issac was determined to catch a fish, we hopped in the canoe and paddled on out. While Issac fished I laid back and relaxed. He did catch one and if you ask him he'll say that it was a big catch, but you can judge for yourself from the picture! He was just happy to catch something.

Muchas gracias to Vanessa, Pano and Arturo for having us come along. We had a great time with you guys and hope to do it next year!

This is inside a cenote (a cave)...oh and my black eye!

Giant Mexican flag! If you look close you might be able to find Issac.

Chichen-Itza or as my family likes to call it...Chicken Pizza!

The Beginning of Blogging!

Well here we go..... I've been wanting to do a blog for a long time but just never got around to it and we didn't have the internet connection at our apartment and didn't really want to pay for it but now were able to "borrow" from someone in the complex! Lately Issac has been reading his mission journals to me and its been really neat to hear about those two years in his life that i didn't know him. It got me thinking that I've never really kept a journal and what better way than to do a blog so here we go!

For those of you who are actually reading this, and I'm pretty sure not many are, Issac and I have been married just over six months. We currently live in Murray in some apartments. Issac is busy trying to finish his last year of school at the U of U in Economics and working as well. I'm still at the dentist office but i am up front now being a receptionist. I like it for a change but will admit I miss assisting. Thats about as exciting we get!

This past summer we had a few trips including our late honeymoon to Cancún. We were able to spend a lot of time on the beach, see the ruins at Chichen-Itza, experienced the bus system, try our sweet bartering skills, snorkeled, and some great authentic Mexican food that didn't settle so well! (it did with Issac). It was really helpful having Issac speak Spanish because I had no idea what was going on half the time. The first actual day that we were there I went to take a bath and after starting the water I turned and met the side of the door. I got a pretty good black eye that stayed with me for the entire trip. Most of the time people would look at me and then immediately look at Issac! He got some pretty nasty looks but don't worry he didn't beat me.

As I've learned from my sister Ashley, it is ok to post things that've happened a couple months ago, late! So I'm sure Ill be adding more to this from our past summer. I hope you all enjoy reading this and were very excited to keep you all updated!
