Gone Golfing~

Today Griff and I went Golfing at the Ranches in Eagle Mt.
It was my first time golfing with Griff, other then just hitting a bucket of balls!
We had a blast, Oh and I got to drive the Golf Cart :D So fun...

 ...But yet SO cold haha.
 Griff in his swing.
Man he sure can hit a golf ball.... He is so good!


 LoVe my Handsome Golfer!!!


 He is all set!!
Gloves
Shoes
Shirt
 and Putter.


 Hole in One!
 It was raining but it didn't stop us!!
Then it started snowing...
He kept  playing and playing so good.
I am not really sure how all the terms work with birdie, eagle, boogie and such but i do know that He was under par or even. If I said it right.. You would have to ask him haha!!!
 This right here is Griffs other Love... Such an awesome part of his Golf Bag!!
 Me pretending like I know what I'm doing!
 Amazing!!
He looks so Handsome.

And this was the Blands day out at the Golf Course!!
Such a fun day.
Thanks babe for helping me learn the ways of golfing. Maybe one day I will actually be able to play like you haha!! (not likely)

Journal Jar.

When I was younger I was given what was called a "Journal Jar." My mom while cleaning came across mine and just returned it to me.
The Purpose of this was to pick a piece of paper out of the jar and write about it in your journal!
So every now and then I will be choosing a topic out of my journal jar and writing about it.
Today's topic...
 ...Think of a place where you and a friend used to go where great memories were made...

 Griff is, was and will always be my best friend. We made some of the best memories :D
We would hang out at my moms house in High School and watch movies and make goodies.
We would also go into the backyard jump on the Tramp and he would show off his backflips!! My parents have a fire pit so we would get a fire going and roast marsh mellows.. It was so much fun!!!
 Another place we would go to have a good time was the Park.
When he first got home from his mission we would go there to talk and have fun!
The best part about it would be getting our Slurpees before hand. Then working our way to the park, to walk around or sit on the swings and have a good laugh.
 Not only would we go to my moms for movies but we would go to his parents for movies on the weekends.
We had our favorite movies that we would watch over and over and now we quote them so much haha.
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
The Notebook
Mean Girls
Tommy Boy
I love these movies and there are a few more!
Movies were our favorite thing ever to entertain us on the weekends!

Lastly we would have so much fun at the baseball field!!
It was OUR spot.
If someone would ask us if we had a spot we would have to say the baseball field.
We were their so much for all his games and practices. I would bring him treats and drinks, and cheer him on. Then after his game I would go over to his house and hang out for a little while. His poor arm would be sore from pitching so he would be icing it...

We have so many memories that we would never forget!!
I love making them and can not wait to make more :D

She had a Jungle Party, so there were Jungle animals hanging from the ceiling and her cake was Jungleee!
At first when her mommy asked her what kind of cake she wanted Laryssa said "a big cake" then just before her party she changed her mind and wanted a "bue cake" So her mommy just got her one that would go with

Our new Wall Decorations!

Yay we finally got the pictures we wanted and cute frames so we could hang these pictures up.
I love that we have space to hang more things up, next we are hanging some more shelf's up next to our clock!!
 This Bathroom will be coming together here soon. I will be making the BATH blocks with the Black and White Floral paper and hanging up a beach oil painting once we get it framed!

Our Master Bath is starting to come together so well!!!
I love the towel hook we have it makes the bathroom look so put together.
Now we are just going to get the vinyl above our tub that says "Soak your cares away."
Then it will be looking SO good.
The hooks in our Closet for all my scarfs...
What a good idea it opened up a drawer for us.
I love it!
There is still so much we would like to do to make our home look more homey!
I LOVE how it is all coming together :D
Next to get..
Shadow Boxes for our stairway
Floor Vase for my our front door
Vinyl above our Pantry door saying "Pantry"
Can not wait to get it all and watch our home become more warm and welcoming!

Day 29...

...Something you could never get tired of doing.
I would have to say Camping and Boating.
When it is summer and I know that we have a camping trip coming up I am like a little kid counting down for Christmas!!
We have been going to Pineview since I was very little and to Lake Powell as well..
..It is my most favorite thing to do!
Sitting around the camp fire at night roasting Marsh mellows, Sleeping out side (well in a tent but this year a trailer :D), Eating Dutch Oven Dinners, going down to the beach all afternoon and playing in the sand and water, and just enjoying the Sun Shine!!!



 
 



We are going this June and I can not even wait :D It can not come fast enough.
If I had to pick the perfect Vacation that I have been on it would be tough but Lake Powell would probably win! To bad we are not going there this year!

Also I  would never get tired of Dancing..
..When I was younger my parents put me into Baton and then Clogging, from there on I took Hip Hop and danced in the Schools dance classes. Then I decided I would try out for Drill Team and made it! I was shocked because I had never taken a Jazz Dance Class...
Dancing has been my most favorite past time, I would always dance in the Kitchen and it would make my parents very upset haha, sorry mom and dad!
I learned so much in Drill and I miss the Practice and Competition so much...
It is amazing how dancing can relax you and help you forget about all the stress in the world.
It is your time to shine when your out on that stage.
I will always love dancing even though I don't anymore.. I wish I did!
