Remember the smiling, happy, nearly healthy Ashley that you saw in the Key West post? Well, everything she worked so hard for to lay in a bikini on the beach for that trip has gone back to her old ways and is looking for a BIG change!Ashley and Shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00979544377856114959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207992048220222377.post-60217201913871740202011-08-26T13:47:00.000-06:002011-08-26T13:47:46.610-06:00A Home for My Clothes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4aGuV1NBLqbkC3Rt34xtDVr9AI60Z_3oZ2_TWuI9x9zJqICXqv7My0UGFyt3aFAnIM_jJwR3rPcaxAYPW7l-hGl0GMhCi34ffH8iYrfv_1iiPDZLP9b0vGbmyfcq_o5M7RnnzOJYVC2hD/s1600/POH+closet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4aGuV1NBLqbkC3Rt34xtDVr9AI60Z_3oZ2_TWuI9x9zJqICXqv7My0UGFyt3aFAnIM_jJwR3rPcaxAYPW7l-hGl0GMhCi34ffH8iYrfv_1iiPDZLP9b0vGbmyfcq_o5M7RnnzOJYVC2hD/s320/POH+closet.jpg" width="191" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We enjoy going to the Salt Lake Valley Parade of Homes every year. I really like going to get ideas and dream of someday having a dream house. I am happy where ever my home is, but you can always want your house to look better. From decorating and design ideas to inspirations for remodeling what we have, we get a lot of enjoyment walking through other peoples' houses. One week after we finished going to all of the houses, we started tearing our closet apart. It only took 2 days and I love it. Not the walk-in closet with a dressing table that I REALLY want, but one step closer. The picture above was the closet that was used for inspiration. </div><br />

One long shelf and one long bar. The shelf wasn't so bad, it was the the bar that was holding so much clothing that it was starting to pull the brace off the wall. My side also had a seam on it because it was an adjustable bar. This would cause my clothes to not be able to slide when I was looking for something.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Shane built everything for the closet, the shelves, the middle "bookcase", and eventually put in the custom bars. (Yay! No bumps!) After a run to Target for some fabric bins, it was ready to put clothes in. I did have to get rid of some of my shoes, but now I can fit in more clothes!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Below, this is what my side of the closet looks like now.

Shane feels that he now knows based on a recent trip to Z Gallerie. There was a section of the store that was completely turquoise, white and silver. His words were "Whoa! This is what the inside of your head must look like." I didn't get a picture from the store, but it was a little much, even for me. Here are some pics just to give you a little slice of what we saw: </div><br />

So much that I clean and organized my closet, which is now another thing that I love. I have all my shoes organized, my clothes hung, winter sweaters stored away and purses in a tote. Then I did all my laundry and put it away. ( When you have as much clothing as me, this is a feat. Then I found this quote: "It's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes -- that's why you sometimes need really special shoes!" I may not be single, but I like to think I'm fabulous which is why I wanted these shoes. But currently, well according to last night's episode of Sex and the City on E!, Carrie Bradshaw is. My new tv addiction is Sex and the City ever since it started playing on E! and Style, and also since my friend Sonia invited me to the opening night of Sex and the City 2 last summer. By the way, the new episode of Glee is on next Tuesday, April 19.Ashley and Shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00979544377856114959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207992048220222377.post-19305467974622736002011-04-12T22:18:00.007-06:002011-04-12T22:34:24.747-06:00Out with the old, in with the new<div align="center">This year is starting with a lot of new...... <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594919430644579298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEol8rB0zW2NzSoPYu4uQTF0XISJc6JSPdudK2XZc9O-RGcoePDgjbyF5p4Ec2XgCnmd2BI-vdh3gikAu00fv71IBMWhG_aY01vuwPbcEvmsI6RZ-h2OdnJ-YfIyBSiHOyxnqzrDKTrZRu/s320/untitled.bmp" /> New fridge...so fresh and so clean, clean.</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594918786704493346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwwnI_sdwQImomDrk4TVzC81VzxfzDHDJS5WGU9d1TRzgVKgVVDw2Z-lj_PFl31Q7PQnrc_9kdjUjb_QSbmcQJQYmXZxpOZaN2oGsvBOlbv7L3dBZhKnsv6VB_xxLt5OJ10hIvWc55rqJx/s320/001.JPG" /> New rides to make some new, exciting memories. <br /><div align="center"></div></div><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594918391809625362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1qB3pNHqd-TS7CzFrJZYlYspa31h2qmU8VUVgEJdO7wYUfSQTgnp3TvCEGxTm_hNPoXvA3mvFFRl8seInIP1J_dfrqGBsxDXSduAKAoIJkhljVV-J7fj7MdDNCVk-5hA9rc5tGH1Y15FB/s320/mobile+012.jpg" /> Fun new style sense....just joking.

Our little scooter topped out at 35 mph but at least it got us to the most Southern point of the US. (It was also a 10 minute walk from our hotel.) The island was so small, I'm pretty sure that I walked the same amount the whole trip as one day in Disneyland. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcldBSatYhVN-CoCsW2iFECt5CFX7Kqbx1tPRGYFPgHyJfipASAISl1Q7fGTej4DP4CVFd6XjkVp6S9SnRhWTDCdqKeghhusPVESpsIusJaZBIg_eF6nsHoucvuDfY93tIxuUnVreC2cVe/s1600/Key+West+2011+011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594911886943053906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcldBSatYhVN-CoCsW2iFECt5CFX7Kqbx1tPRGYFPgHyJfipASAISl1Q7fGTej4DP4CVFd6XjkVp6S9SnRhWTDCdqKeghhusPVESpsIusJaZBIg_eF6nsHoucvuDfY93tIxuUnVreC2cVe/s320/Key+West+2011+011.JPG" /></a> Casa Marina Resort.....thank you for you beautiful trees, sand, hammocks and for selling PopTarts and chai in your gift shop.

A time for sharing, caring, and......EATING! At work we have 12 days of Christmas treats. I signed up for the first Thursday and decided to make my Oreo truffles, same as last year. This platter was full 15 minutes before it was taken! Glad everyone liked them.<br /><br /><p></p><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550003379645416338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIbRMCIc3fgVGq-HDZt1d2Cp6aq0OBXy6gBusXS33peDZp6toQCFMpdnP3WP5Sv87Dy51PlVPHH-bGgcWuGeNa52Lpqo5CVDtiltWJKWG-BROEk_zLnqr2y6mwBCH00NkKsT_C-I4kh0zh/s320/1211102126.jpg" /> We also had Thanksgiving #2/Holiday party with our friends over the weekend. Pretty much everyone but Shane and I along with one other couple are the only ones without kids. So what did Brooke and the other childless adult do? We sat in the play room with the kids and fed them cookies! They were having so much fun that 2 of them decided to sit in a tote. Then they invited one of the other boys over to join them. The whole time they were yelling "Squeeze!" Tons of fun! I will report more after the holidays!<br /></p>Ashley and Shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00979544377856114959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207992048220222377.post-54603154257959613442010-10-08T09:03:00.004-06:002010-10-08T09:41:32.517-06:00...and that's summer!Summer came and left before Shane could finish spelling "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

Due to the pumpkin crop devastation last year, there is expected to be a pumpkin shortage this year. So I went a little overboard when I found big cans at Winco. I bought 3 cans and only enough to make one batch. Since one batch is half a big can, I froze the other half. (Pumpkin balance: 2 1/2 cans) Then I saw 3 big cans for $7. I don't think I will run out for a while, with 5 1/2 cans.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieG0F91mKAFV9CHlCtS7YJqvCldO_LDWd6ZA7t30z2aWmlQOdB-CK4L0lmMyKZTV1WinOSlW3H0JhP6oMCzPDL2AR-sU477VHvSBnuj0XAFYbt-3AxY667WAPY9X1Q5m-5cNXm0YrMnZr6/s1600/upload+oct+2010+005.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525692221612236530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieG0F91mKAFV9CHlCtS7YJqvCldO_LDWd6ZA7t30z2aWmlQOdB-CK4L0lmMyKZTV1WinOSlW3H0JhP6oMCzPDL2AR-sU477VHvSBnuj0XAFYbt-3AxY667WAPY9X1Q5m-5cNXm0YrMnZr6/s320/upload+oct+2010+005.jpg" /></a> State Fair 2010: Delicious foot long corn dogs, ice cream, cotton candy and fried oreos, with a side of seals, booths, and stinky animals.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdDR4F5YVK5vDXQe7aQ8hsFeFF2JxEsqkcLVJOcyGjpYcXsnxiRrkZ3Q4Mg2Kls7lkEUwDdlZY530EA9sUL2-aLkYvtoPudsQ7thudUlvrmQB55eMi2nSomn3g84LOVLa5QtwHCk9ShAfT/s1600/upload+oct+2010+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525692211321347458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdDR4F5YVK5vDXQe7aQ8hsFeFF2JxEsqkcLVJOcyGjpYcXsnxiRrkZ3Q4Mg2Kls7lkEUwDdlZY530EA9sUL2-aLkYvtoPudsQ7thudUlvrmQB55eMi2nSomn3g84LOVLa5QtwHCk9ShAfT/s320/upload+oct+2010+001.jpg" /></a> After the fair, we had to take my car to the Infiniti dealership. The water pump went out and it overheated. There aren't many miles on it, thanks for the cheap part Infiniti. Had we not trailered it there (didn't want to have to stop 15,000 times to let it cool), we wouldn't have found that I desperately needed new tires.

To the surprise of no one, I said ok. Well, it did take some convincing, but while sitting at work on a random Tuesday morning, I text my mom and booked a room at the Luxor. With Mom and Alli on board, we were set to have 2 nights at the pyramid with an outdoor temp of 105 degrees. It ended up being a fun weekend of sun, shopping, drinks and food.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494316467806583666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi61g_zwZQUgHSabGEZwBchIwfnannCEDQzxfsa8SoBc3j0a4tqRV4CcfSwg81228wxlEJ_tiU160XCGYl1TIGfFCF6xKWbJ3dzRGu0BY3otCZIzWEYD3PojYFBVp3hu6OpWVPhfQZO0YOJ/s320/Las+Vegas+2010+019.JPG" />Now, I'm not one to pass up a time to walk the strip or think its too hot. But it was HOT! Still, enjoyed it. We were able to walk through City Center across from Planet Hollywood. What is there? Another Tiffany and Co.! Can we get just one if Vegas has one in 3 hotels in a row? (That would be City Center, Bellagio and Caesars.) We enjoyed dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, really enjoying the 10 minute wait we had.

To start my Memorial Weekend, I went to see Sex and the City 2 with Sonia on Friday night. It was good, not as good as the first or the series, but good. There were definitely some hilarious lines. Saturday Shane and I went to a BBQ with my family for my cousins birthday. While we were there, Shane and my cousin Rusty were talking about Wendover....we all ended up taking a spur of the moment trip out there. We stayed overnight and came home on Sunday. I was supposed to go to Bridal Shower that day, but got sick on the way home from Wendover and was not feeling well enough to go. Monday my mom suggested that we go to the Park City Outlets. We went up there and walked around for awhile, buying a couple of shirts and just looking around. While we were at lunch, I jokingly texted Shane about a purse I saw at Coach. I asked if I found a Coach purse for $85, could I buy it? He responded with sure. After trying to call him, he finally answered and said that he wasn't joking. So back to the store we went. This purse was $358 original retail price, marked down, on clearance for 50% then I got an additional 20% off for their Memorial Day sale. I was stoked!!!!!!! I bought yellow because it is so summer and I need another black or brown purse like I need another hole in my head.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478980079711834562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrTuvB5D1_w_A_qJH_rZJxZBzUr_cYFrmGFfqmwphvdfirvWudq7wRl16tRPJKscOg33piQGPLoPu8YpBA2smrzrAXi-0Ycnzy2eVsTxqD7Sg8BcyFxxF42k2nc31GrMPok4sbDGWAHekh/s320/mobile+photos+003.jpg" /><br />The following Wednesday I got an email about the Grand Opening of the Sephora store at Fashion Place Mall. I had marked my calendar and had been planning on going to the store once it opened. However, when I got the email it said that the first 100 customers in line would get a gift card. The amounts would vary from $10 to the lucky recipient of $500. I got up on Friday and was at the mall around 8am. I was lucky number 84! The picture below was how ridiculous the line was. Not only did it zig zag 5 times here, but then they had to start the line outside the entrance doors to the mall. As we got up to the store, there was an employee handing out the gift cards that had their amount written on them. I GOT $100!!!!!!!! I was stoked! I would have been happy with $10 because I wasn't going there for anything specific, but AWESOME!!!!<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478980094410771154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHlBok6IYju3_eXnOiIIMds-94MfMO6Dxn8kqIUrJ46xuXAmsUIDYP0PIhS14dNF-7zO-QciRBOl3q-1eMPemCoclr6wOXQ2ohpJVOwVF3Cqz83pwGRnDvRgJhbsmRxXq2oUBXbytOW17S/s320/mobile+photos+001.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478980095421521426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCync4pz5rLq3CaMBePF_-F7q04ow13IR4cprcRZA5MFMgacgcnV3OT-_-hxEtSw9MmOfhOl33xY_ALBCpJ9YNuMunF4BjK6dE47j4-ZBJmWffsnlyqaulkHFFGP2XC67kPgzYk5c-DjmN/s320/Sephora+004.JPG" /><br />This is what I got with my card!

I believe that this is what the bathroom looked like when our house was originally built. Our house was built in 1987. When I think of it like that, I'm amazed that it wasn't worse. I also think that the builders had a lot of the pink laminate and light colored cabinetry while building. It is the same in this bathroom, our guest bathroom and what was in the kitchen when Shane first bought the house.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn_7f38HZeqlPnArYPz91vX9Y7YqsHyfr1CF4OJpsFCXZfCvl8ZPnCdhDtAY4zRUtu9jgj5a6XHVlivMNx-dpn5smjrlSFP-RrJKsZVzkOS5Hwm1C0HX6W_6CuAJBoaWpJe0Bl6iz7lsxc/s1600-h/PA100032.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403471666031893506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn_7f38HZeqlPnArYPz91vX9Y7YqsHyfr1CF4OJpsFCXZfCvl8ZPnCdhDtAY4zRUtu9jgj5a6XHVlivMNx-dpn5smjrlSFP-RrJKsZVzkOS5Hwm1C0HX6W_6CuAJBoaWpJe0Bl6iz7lsxc/s320/PA100032.JPG" /></a></div><div></div><div>This was our shower.

We replaced EVERYTHING in the bathroom except for the towels, shower curtain and rugs. Shane made the cabinet 4 inches taller and was a pretty good customer at his own work during this remodel. He bought the handles, towel/toilet paper racks, laminate from his work and even matched his own stain.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5_e9i0iT9rvUhK0ovhXGDeNXh95ngqOymqdfV8EzhhnTdetvRfZIKD5QR-4cyyKFNZw7f4pR8Gn0sfaKYFFwFWyqblq25ZPQ60T8ilp_JJhAf4VIoqJbP7Ae6fLjWnO5ryj-GDnXjUDe/s1600-h/PB110110.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403470961533412834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5_e9i0iT9rvUhK0ovhXGDeNXh95ngqOymqdfV8EzhhnTdetvRfZIKD5QR-4cyyKFNZw7f4pR8Gn0sfaKYFFwFWyqblq25ZPQ60T8ilp_JJhAf4VIoqJbP7Ae6fLjWnO5ryj-GDnXjUDe/s320/PB110110.JPG" /></a>The wall was changed from a light rose color to a soft suede, which is green in some light and brown in others.

Since we decided to just use the bathroom accessories we already had, I decided to add some art. I followed along with the bamboo theme we had, bought some canvas, found our wall paint and some brown paint and cut out bamboo on vinyl with my Cricut. Then I painted the canvas to match the wall, arranged the vinyl on the canvas and painted over with the brown. When I pulled the vinyl "stencils" off, I had works of art that would make any HGTV host proud.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7z9otyCAjlt2ps_gdya_L73hWEJP0JwHVXCfJFPkqNxjdYbrLlf-3DzQnI2oYJ_BTw6IjswepEUFzJnsXjzTM8qbJlWXxL9Coy8gFb8rfIPIiFuycLr6utBlo8Mdwcp7kK-5Dwv1FioaQ/s1600-h/PB110115.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403470947447420226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7z9otyCAjlt2ps_gdya_L73hWEJP0JwHVXCfJFPkqNxjdYbrLlf-3DzQnI2oYJ_BTw6IjswepEUFzJnsXjzTM8qbJlWXxL9Coy8gFb8rfIPIiFuycLr6utBlo8Mdwcp7kK-5Dwv1FioaQ/s320/PB110115.JPG" /></a>The new counter top, mirror, sink and fixtures.

I love it! Shane worked so hard and spent nearly a month completing this. My opinion was taken into consideration for a lot of the stuff, which took A LOT of patience from Shane since I am very indecisive. It is awesome to have someone that can take a vision and make it a reality living in my house. Thanks Shane!!!<br /><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Ashley and Shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00979544377856114959noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207992048220222377.post-20290266566568318622009-10-08T23:00:00.004-06:002009-10-12T21:25:47.482-06:00I Love the 80s!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcZ_Ax4AHT3bdAVmPUjBnRlojR_ix3NlTzyfgBhg23RTTouklundKFg279RoCgN718KuKA5GNTjVZdgBFTKaYgrH67svLTq77QcpiLcZ6TX5M01U_MEtQTAj2IQVsyif2hIwfwzTtIdiMQ/s1600-h/eighties_281x211.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391918148961274626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 281px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 211px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcZ_Ax4AHT3bdAVmPUjBnRlojR_ix3NlTzyfgBhg23RTTouklundKFg279RoCgN718KuKA5GNTjVZdgBFTKaYgrH67svLTq77QcpiLcZ6TX5M01U_MEtQTAj2IQVsyif2hIwfwzTtIdiMQ/s320/eighties_281x211.jpg" border="0" /></a> Did you know I love the 80s?

Somehow, and not by my pestering, Shane recommended going to Vegas again. We did a couple of different things that we haven't done in Vegas before and stayed there for the whole weekend. It rained while we there so we were able to enjoy the view that our room had to offer. We stayed at New York New York with a strip view room. I finally got to see the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, something I have never done in the many times that I have been there. (Shane was expecting a little more from the sign.)<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuVtf0Mzuvrpw5dY2PQIp2jsgAZTXycPHqoR2UkZkbfBFpXmaw9V9qYx-z6G80yOl9RdCuBGU83ehCN6qMJrRImdfwal95i98V6IDd1dZMSM5zzck3XyzZOl2BF_RUbSGrmLDrZicMf9e1/s1600-h/Kacey+and+Jon%27s+Wedding+030.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390450244822638370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuVtf0Mzuvrpw5dY2PQIp2jsgAZTXycPHqoR2UkZkbfBFpXmaw9V9qYx-z6G80yOl9RdCuBGU83ehCN6qMJrRImdfwal95i98V6IDd1dZMSM5zzck3XyzZOl2BF_RUbSGrmLDrZicMf9e1/s320/Kacey+and+Jon%27s+Wedding+030.jpg" border="0" /></a> I was being a dork trying to take my picture with the view.</div><div align="center"><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyQF53k3e42DmsF5hDiWf6_bSl6uIbs8xGkLPzQgkNEkWqFglkzZx1sSQCPRek60uva6bQSH4HyUAZ2ZsqpCK1xeB1Cf8z67YgX90aA3f3N9UEHgz6lBAqI18RSZtnBOqQuGHR85sc_CeS/s1600-h/Kacey+and+Jon%27s+Wedding+046.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390450228940532754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyQF53k3e42DmsF5hDiWf6_bSl6uIbs8xGkLPzQgkNEkWqFglkzZx1sSQCPRek60uva6bQSH4HyUAZ2ZsqpCK1xeB1Cf8z67YgX90aA3f3N9UEHgz6lBAqI18RSZtnBOqQuGHR85sc_CeS/s320/Kacey+and+Jon%27s+Wedding+046.jpg" border="0" /></a> Our room was in the Empire State Building.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtJ0vd3fdmxz-tOh3zPTQcYEulvh1PLR5wXFt7najRG1cN-AffPyizJ8MMPMDZgFIdB9C5bmCH3KAXMnadQDgLtTVxIN-fDJz12mpHG-uFj-pZu_Z1UYTC8fvXqSP3gpSew4k7Nhdz3ea/s1600-h/Kacey+and+Jon%27s+Wedding+028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390450219848763714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtJ0vd3fdmxz-tOh3zPTQcYEulvh1PLR5wXFt7najRG1cN-AffPyizJ8MMPMDZgFIdB9C5bmCH3KAXMnadQDgLtTVxIN-fDJz12mpHG-uFj-pZu_Z1UYTC8fvXqSP3gpSew4k7Nhdz3ea/s320/Kacey+and+Jon%27s+Wedding+028.jpg" border="0" /></a> This was the view from our room. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390454420908870850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 222px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 81px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkISK-0crniHyHZqCKGJv-oanMoBg6UqKYLMEye5xdsC-Yt-OiTaVvRxh6Ha2bgru-9wVMmKIkE3oJa_zx9JQZEMfItvV2WHUk5x4OA4IL3lW3UzOZwBjRjkgRHj80h41EUBiXCWVHY6lx/s320/logo_zumanity.jpg" border="0" />We also took advantage of the entertainment at New York New York. It is home to the Cirque Du Soleil show Zumanity. I have been wanting to see a show forever and Shane was curious to see what it was. The show was amazing and set in a very "intimate" setting. Most of the humor was crude and inappropriate, but the show was AWESOME!!!!! I highly recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor and that appreciates the performing arts. Be warned...there is nudity and a full fledged DRAG QUEEN! LOVED IT!!! I want to plan another trip to just get away and play. <div></div></div></div></div>Ashley and Shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00979544377856114959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207992048220222377.post-72006923839642699912009-08-15T15:43:00.001-06:002009-08-15T15:43:26.938-06:00When you wish upon a star...<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTbSB5NWb3-XDImMFE9YEfHwsOVky6zhFpWCYiweUAMPglUaW-I_Zbzx4dqkykmxlN78xeWJRKmhEwQZUvCB178dswf6mvwc7FvIQ-6UKb5SGwgxrzKkFUnL5-GimAINjj-7bGaZ9dXHyZ/s1600-h/Copy+(2)+of+Disneyland+09+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348489756455623314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTbSB5NWb3-XDImMFE9YEfHwsOVky6zhFpWCYiweUAMPglUaW-I_Zbzx4dqkykmxlN78xeWJRKmhEwQZUvCB178dswf6mvwc7FvIQ-6UKb5SGwgxrzKkFUnL5-GimAINjj-7bGaZ9dXHyZ/s400/Copy+(2)+of+Disneyland+09+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> I wish they sold a license plate frame that says "My other home is a castle." I would so buy it. Seriously think that I could live in Disneyland, no problem. I went with my family to Disneyland back in June for my cousin's graduation and sister's birthday. We had tons of fun. Shane did not join us on this vacation, mainly because he doesn't care for Disneyland. Have you ever heard of such a thing?!?!? I am hoping to make it back there in October with my sister. We'll see. It was nice having time away from Shane, but I kept wishing he were there. We went to Santa Monica Pier and the beach. All in all, it was relaxing, fun and well worth it.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348486435374768978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsuzEVPEGAtCvugIbk3gMhM3HVKpegzIHyhiJ8lLk5F6eIQ3pAXGBWq0YIasIpxJUzDyQ9jh7pDNHtw6HUP6T122meFcvPemAZiQR0f7hWZbeElqj3srsibnNWvQU6t1EoXpDHdxd0Slt_/s320/Me+at+Club+33+entrance.jpg" border="0" /> Me in front of the entrance to Club 33.

It was created to accommodate celebrities and dignitaries when Walt was alive. It is also the only place in Disneyland that serves alcohol.

I know that its not the most thrilling, interesting ride there, but it always reminds me about being a little kid. I had heard that the ride had been closed for a while to work on the canal and spruce things up a little. Can you blame them? This ride has been around for quite some time. I didn't really notice a smoother ride, or less dust on the dolls, but I did happen to notice some new additions....<br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348493442001492690" style="DISPLAY: block;

Crafting and card making, on the other hand, are hobbies that I have started doing. If you follow my blog, you have seen blocks and cards that I have made. Recently my mom asked "if I buy the stuff, will you make me a bunch of cards?" Being the nice daughter that I am, I agreed to. We will call it The Mom Collection. Below are some of my latest creations. The idea for matching the envelope to the card came from a set of Christmas cards that I bought from Costco one year. It just gives them a more custom touch. Feel free to, as they call it, scrap-lift any of the ideas.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH4oniWivQA6pLjSgXDHLc4fjKbuNK0L6fIZJBKCjIm1dePqsbNJM-7E2ulDGURMgTsMNhah7aPO-q082bm_tP_BnY5w_8uOFt_rDR3zYphe4jJP_o1MaskRDR8p2h9znjbTgK-wKzddeO/s1600-h/may24+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342040486303798466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH4oniWivQA6pLjSgXDHLc4fjKbuNK0L6fIZJBKCjIm1dePqsbNJM-7E2ulDGURMgTsMNhah7aPO-q082bm_tP_BnY5w_8uOFt_rDR3zYphe4jJP_o1MaskRDR8p2h9znjbTgK-wKzddeO/s320/may24+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> Mother's Day card.

Most of his extended family got tickets for the event on the same day. This was my first time to MMP, but Shane had been there last year. I had no idea how big the park was. It is 4 times the size of Disneyland, according to their website. I tried to get pictures of the cars as they passed on the track, but they were going so fast that it was hard to get a picture at the right moment. The day was amazing too. We were there for about 5 hours and there was just a slight breeze. Needless to say, Shane and I both got some sun. Shane got raccoon eyes from his glasses. My tan didn't start peeling until this past Wednesday. It was a good start to the summer. Except for the fact that we spent the night before at Rocky Mountain Raceway, so it ended up being a race-filled weekend. Check out the pics below.<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihoNB-JQ4HhuKdCRCXLSZtijPzQnztUHQvgQyWnqRfknShyphenhyphenxnt7-Jna_F72id0FbKsWh9OE8leeVDwYDioVZe55YcBwMNcPQE65bGAdwg0iv0rcmUuKGgecuScCMqEC-YI5oWeXYQSlg5S/s1600-h/may16+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341859606737548098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihoNB-JQ4HhuKdCRCXLSZtijPzQnztUHQvgQyWnqRfknShyphenhyphenxnt7-Jna_F72id0FbKsWh9OE8leeVDwYDioVZe55YcBwMNcPQE65bGAdwg0iv0rcmUuKGgecuScCMqEC-YI5oWeXYQSlg5S/s320/may16+002.jpg" border="0" /></a> One of the screens the have showing the race.

It was lots of fun, much warmer than last year and more relaxing, especially since we didn't ride the bike down. The picture above is from a drive we took along the Colorado River. We even stopped at a Bouder Garden where you could attempt to climb these big rocks that have fallen off the side of the mountains. I have to say that it is always refreshing to see red rocks and get red sand between my toes. Shane didn't enter his car in the car show. It was just there to cruise around in and enjoy since it is running nicely now. We did attend the car show Saturday morning. Sometimes it feels like you see the same old cars over and over again the more shows you go to. There were a couple that we had not seen. The one I wanted to take home Shane didn't take a picture of (and I forgot my camera), but there was a Nissan GTR there. That's the car I'll probably never get. He did however get a shot of the other one I wanted. The Bronco below was BEAUTIFUL!!! I loved the color, the look, EVERYTHING! Now if only I could talk Shane into it.......<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhogHV5gi0tA5ryP5rxD2RiCV4YgQkXWxP2uAByFpAsEE6eNcu40Y4H7pfs_dDPVRA9SlsVB6nbycH2VpB2brZMJsHFPSp24vLwRz7ucg9ZKwD9UaTtvqVpVeA3vHRN7ViY1bTwh1kpX-GW/s1600-h/P4240012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334311461160075922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhogHV5gi0tA5ryP5rxD2RiCV4YgQkXWxP2uAByFpAsEE6eNcu40Y4H7pfs_dDPVRA9SlsVB6nbycH2VpB2brZMJsHFPSp24vLwRz7ucg9ZKwD9UaTtvqVpVeA3vHRN7ViY1bTwh1kpX-GW/s320/P4240012.JPG" border="0" /></a> We also went along with some of our friends who wanted to go crawl the Poison Spider trail in their Jeep Cherokees. So Shane and I jumped into Derick's new truck and followed along. Thanks to Jon's mom who happened to remember her camera and got pictures of us crawling. Not only did we go crawling in Derick's truck (scary!) but it just so happened that the three of us had our RC Crawlers there. We had a blast until big, black rain clouds started rolling towards us fast so we had to get off the side of the slick rock mountains before we got caught in a flash flood. The trip was a blast and I can't wait to go again.....when its maybe a little warmer.</div><div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfqlR2ymzJooSO_RtY4C-B15Seq0OmdwWhfNep768X1mwDewyUcefZWZ0QwOvKV8t321LSAhwkWXOHHHCZX72wltJbdEYM7ZtivG81wVPvFoGbnvJGspaOV_tcDIe0hT0Nfq7aJpbQhOQh/s1600-h/2877_1056695826998_1513947325_30197121_7847919_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333694484476452610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfqlR2ymzJooSO_RtY4C-B15Seq0OmdwWhfNep768X1mwDewyUcefZWZ0QwOvKV8t321LSAhwkWXOHHHCZX72wltJbdEYM7ZtivG81wVPvFoGbnvJGspaOV_tcDIe0hT0Nfq7aJpbQhOQh/s320/2877_1056695826998_1513947325_30197121_7847919_n.jpg" border="0" /></a>Shane's crawler at Poison Spider </div><div align="center"><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlRjl902znxtNh2o2BPva-MWT_RlhdPtczmgTI03oCXQnmmx1BZoLk5QL5jG6Cw7YyHsEiQEZbs7OxD0Hg8P0veFXdlSZODPmuT9gUZt5QwBZSy2CONNkt140N_ajIuk7oCBxDwoZCfQ1E/s1600-h/2877_1056695746996_1513947325_30197119_5954569_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333694478227344978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlRjl902znxtNh2o2BPva-MWT_RlhdPtczmgTI03oCXQnmmx1BZoLk5QL5jG6Cw7YyHsEiQEZbs7OxD0Hg8P0veFXdlSZODPmuT9gUZt5QwBZSy2CONNkt140N_ajIuk7oCBxDwoZCfQ1E/s320/2877_1056695746996_1513947325_30197119_5954569_n.jpg" border="0" /></a>Trying to figure out why it wasn't working.
