I know I know!!

I am a bit, (that's putting it lightly) of a slacker in updating my blog. We have been married for a month now and I still haven't put any new family pictures up, let alone any wedding pictures. They are coming, I promise! It has been quite an eventful month though! Mother's Day was a lot of fun. Brayden was able to go to breakfast with his mom, and I didn't even have to go, which was a HUGE blessing for me! The other two kids made me breakfast and gave me some presents and then we went to church. Brayden met us at church and then after church, my mom and sisters and my grandma came over to our house for a big brunch. After they all left we were able to relax for a few hours before going up to see Ross' mom and family in West Jordan. Nick and Libby (Ross' brother and his wife) have a new baby that has more hair than I have ever seen a newborn have. It's crazy!

Last weekend we went up to the Steele's family property up Nephi canyon and much to our surprise, we were able to see a bear while we were there. An adolescent black bear was up a tree, so after the DNR got it down and into a trap (a.k.a. a barrel) they let us see it. Poor Scooby, (that is our great dane) she was probably at least 3 times bigger than the bear but as soon as she heard the bear growl, she took off like a bolt of lightning! Good thing no one was in her way!

Lastly, it is now coming on Memorial Weekend, and apparently I am a lot older than I thought. I used to crave long weekends with thoughts of big bbq's with lots of friends, late nights full of games or movies, and just trying to pack as much fun into those 3 days as possible. However, I made my poor husband promise that we wouldn't have to go anywhere this weekend. That we could just stay home, and relax. I look forward to cleaning out the fridge, and cleaning my car. That is pretty much it. Other than that I will be catching up on the Desperate Housewives season finale, hopefully posting some new pictures to my blog, reading a good book in the tub complete with bubbles, and sleeping in. Aaaaaah, now that is my little piece of heaven.
