Happy Father's Day


We are so grateful to have two amazing dads in our life! I love Father's Day because it is a day to recognize and show gratitude for all our dad's do for us.

I love my dad so much. He has always been there for me no matter what, and I have always been able to talk to him. He has made it a huge point to tell me he loves me, and give me a huge hug every single time I see him. He is so hard working and would do ANYTHING for his family. I cherish the times that I am alone with my dad {without my brothers} and we can just talk. He has always been there to remind me of my talents. My dad has been my Hero, ever since I was little and I look up to him so much. I use to always tell my mom that I wanted my kids to have a daddy just like my dad.... and as time goes on I see more and more similarities between Bruce and my Dad. I am so thankful to have him in my life...
I was lucky enough to be blessed with an incredible father-in-law. I have always been really close with Bruce, and I look up to him like he is my own dad. He has always been there for Bruce and I whether we needed to talk, or just to laugh with. He gives great advice and we know he wants the best for us. He has always been the person Bruce and I both look forward to just sitting down and talking to {we go to furniture plus more than any normal person that doesn't have a job there should haha, but we love to!} Bruce looks up to his dad more than anyone I have ever met. I love to watch their relationship because you can tell they are best friends. He is an incredible father and you can see the love he has for each of his kids. I am so grateful to have Bruce as my father in law... Life really wouldn't be the same without him!

I hope our dad's had a great father's day! We were sad that we couldn't be there to share this day with them...

Ocean Blue at West Gate!

I just wanted to get the word out that a new Ocean Blue store opened out at West Gate! {Kinda by the Cardinals stadium!} If you haven't tried Ocean Blue yet you need to, It is delicious frozen yogurt!!! My brother and his wife opened it, and I can't wait for my visit to AZ in a couple weeks so I can see their new store!!! I heard it looks amazing! So if you are in the Glendale area, go check it out! You won't be disappointed.

The Finer Things Club

For those of you who watch the office, you know what the Finer Things Club is... Well we have decided to make our own Finer Things Club out here! It started out with a group of us (Bruce+I, Dalan+Brooke, Devin S., Nick H., Elliot, Devon P.+Amanda P) going out to dinner every Tuesday night, but we decided to expand it a little and shoot fireworks off every Sunday Night at the Beach as well!!! This Sunday was our first week to shoot off fireworks and it turned into a blast! We planned on going to a beach to shoot off the fireworks, but it had to be out of city limits and we couldn't find a beach so we did it off the bay. Once we figured out where we were gonna do it we started getting everything ready and this drunk guy drove up and started talking to us. He tried telling us he was a famous country singer and then started dancing for us, so he was our entertainment for the night! Bruce started dancing with him and it was hilarious! Leave it to Bruce to make everyone laugh. After we finally asked him to turn down his radio he left and we started the fireworks! During the week Bruce, Devin and Elliot went and bought a huge box of fireworks! After awhile I started hearing alot of movement in the water next to us (like within 2 feet) and I swear I saw an alligator, but no one wanted to believe me until it started making even more noise! It was pretty freaky because you could see it swimming around right by us, luckily we never had to meet our reptile friend! The guys did find a crab though.

My Antique Treasure!

I have found a little town that I am absolutely in love with! It has the funnest little shops and tons of antique stores! When Brookie got down here I knew I had to take her too it... So the very first chance we got we went. I found this ice crusher and I fell in love! I love old antique kitchen things, so I have started adding them to my kitchen. I didn't buy it that day because it was $30 and I didn't want Bruce to get mad, so I have waited...and waited...and waited. Finally Bruce took me there this morning before he had to go to work and he bought it for me! I wasn't expecting to get it, but I took him in there just to show it to him and so I could dream about it a little more and he said, "well sweety, lets get it!" Don't have have the best husband???

Fun Sunday!


I love Sundays. Especially during the summer, because it is Bruce's only day off. Not only are Sundays my favorite because we get to go to church and feel the spirit and learn more about the amazing gospel that we are blessed to be a part of, but I get to spend ALL day with my husband!!! We have made it our "Sunday Tradition" to go down to look at the Alligators. We are just dying to see a 15 footer! We ended the night by playing games with Bruce's sister and her husband. I just love Sundays!
