Happy Birthday Mom!

This last weekend was my mom's birthday! We had a really fun day celebrating! Since Dad was golfing and Brady was working on his yard, we spent the day just us girls! We went to lunch, got pedicures, and went shopping in the sunshine at Gardner Village! Later, we met up with everyone for dinner, and then went to Angels & Demons. It was tons of fun! Happy 30th Birthday, Mom! ;0)

Ash & Brady Bonding Time!

Do you ever have those times when you need to get away to unwind, and you just want to sit and think about everything and nothing all at the same time?  Brady & I seem to have those times quite often.  It's just so nice to drive somewhere relaxing to take your mind off of everyday life, and think about things that your brain normally doesn't seem to have the time or energy to think about.  Maybe that sounds weird & creepy...and you all now want to delete me from your blogs...but trust me! It's great! You should try it sometime! :0) 

A Wicked Easter Weekend!

Finally!!! We waited 4 months and finally WICKED rolled into town!  It's only the best play ever! I've seen it before...but it was just as good, if not better the 2nd time around!  Brady wasn't too sure about the whole thing at first...but after he got the chills in Defying Gravity he was sold! Needless to say...it was amazing!!!  And right after Wicked, the Thorns & Hendricksons all packed up & went to St. George so that the boys could golf in an AGC golf tournament!  Talk about the ultimate Easter weekend!!!

California Dreamin'

A couple of weeks ago, we all went to California for Madi's cheer nationals!  Well...it wasn't so much about cheerleading as it was the free hotel for Brady and I! (Thanks parents!) We drove half way, and stayed in Las Vegas for a night on the way there.  The only reason I'm throwing that in there is that the hotel was quite an experience!  I wish we would've taken pictures! It's possible the thing was once used as a homeless shelter or something...and Brady definitely gave me some crap for booking it!  Kinda funny.  Anyway, California was so much fun!  The weather was only nice 1 of the days, but who cares?!  It's California! We did the whole hopper pass thing for a couple of days, ate at a bunch of fun places, and acted like a bunch of kids the whole time! It doesn't get much better than the Happiest Place On Earth!

Let's Play Catch-Up!

Alright everyone!  You asked for it!  I know I've been a huge slacker on the blog thing.  It's so funny...I get so bugged when no one updates their blogs...yet I've been the worst one! Ha!  Anyway...in an attempt to redeem myself I have created all these slide shows to catch everyone up on my life!

The top slide is a little random.  It has a bunch of stuff that when on at the first of the year.  I went to Florida to watch the BCS Championship game with some friends which was a blast!  Also, my wonderful friend Kim came into town from Kansas so I got to see her!  I think the other pics are just from New Years and such...kind of old & boring.

The next slide is of my birthday!  Can you believe I turned 23 this year?!  I feel like I'm getting so old...at least in Mormon years! :)  But it was still way fun!  We all went to dinner & bowling to celebrate!  I think there's another random picture in there of the Jazz game too with Brady.  And who's Brady you may ask?  No, he's not some random guy that just happens to be in all my pictures!  We started dating in January & he's awesome!  So for those of you that I don't get to talk to much...now you're no longer in the dark! :)

The last slide is of St. George!  Brady took us there last weekend, since he had to go visit some clients.  We had so much fun!  It was great to get away & have a little sun in our lives!  The boys got to go golfing at Sand Hollow while the girls shopped & got pedicures!  And of course we hit up Fiesta Fun, swam, and shopped some more! We also got to stop in on our way there & visit our great grandma in Scipio.  She's 98!  Can you believe it?!  And on our way home...the fun continued when we stopped in Beaver to hit up the gas station with the Big White Chair...then on to the historic Cove Fort!  It doesn't get much better than that! ;)  Thanks Brady for whisking us all away for a fun-filled weekend!!!

So there you go!  A quick update on what has been going on with me!  And I promise I'll start being much better!  After all...I don't want to become a disgrace in the land of blogging! :0)
