Im so grateful that me and jason got to go to my home for thanksgiving this year! We had quite the spread!

Garage Sale.

Me and my sister in law had a garage sale last weekend. I made a whole $12.00. It covered our lunch from sonic. I consider

We might have to try this again and maybe be more organized.

The Happiest Place on Earth.

Nevada Day weekend, we headed down to California with the family to visit the beach, ikea and disneyland! It was so much fun!

Yep everybody but me posed for the camera. Tower of Terror terrified me.

I'm sure everyone that reads my blog is an avid bachelor/bachelorette/bachelor pad fan. Guard and Protect my heart? Yes you were at the random rave party in tron world at disneyland. So awkward.

Can't wait to go back.

Anniversay Celebration.

We usually make a weekend out of our anniversary is stay in some swanky hotel, but not this year. Instead we bought new flooring for the whole house (will post pictures when its ALL done) and are doing a family trip to Disneyland. So, we decided to do something little for each other. Jason didn't really understand what little meant, I guess, because he got me tickets to see Lion King at Mandalay Bay. It was amazing! All he got was a dozen red velvet Nothing Bundt Cakes! Though I don't think I could have gotten him anything that he would have enjoyed more than those sweet morsels.

Homecoming.

Last weekend was Jason's high school's homecoming and he decided we had to go. It was definitely interesting to compare how his high school does homecoming compared to the high school I went to. It was much more low scale. They don't shut down downtown for a parade or feature the homecoming court in the newspaper. The main reason we went was to support his twin sisters who are now in ninth grade! Looks like we have a lot more high school events we are going to have to attend now...

Whoops.

This is what happens when you bring your springerdoodle to get its nails clipped and a trim.



they turn her into a full blown poodle. i miss her springy curls.
p.s. they also gave her an oatmeal bath, a ten minute massage, and a blueberry facial. more than i ever get...

3 years, I can't even believe it! Happy anniversary husband!

Fall.

Oh how I love fall! Sunday we hiked up in Mt. Charleston and the colors were just beginning to change. After which me and my mom made butterfinger blonde brownies that felt a little like Halloween treats. I never want this season to end!

Pinterest.

Well, I finally did it. I joined Pinterest. I had the invite sitting in my email inbox for a couple months deciding if I should even start this new addiction (it was bound to be). I think I'm pretty happy about my decision though because now I have so many fun ideas I HAVE to execute! If only I had more time...

I found this on my first day of being a member of Pinterest. Never would have know.

Slidin' Thru.

Last night I experience my first Las Vegas foodtruck and it was a-maz-ing. I had the Captain's Order (angus beef slider topped with bacon, fets, arugula, and balsamic reduction), while Jason had the Barby (angus beef slider topped with bacon, cheddar jalapeno, onion strips, and bbq sauce) and the Pulled Porky (pork, jalapeno, and bbq sauce). If you go, get the sweet potato fries (or more like tater tots doused in cinnamon. You will not be disappointed. And yes, it was still 107 outside while we stood in line for this delicious dinner.

Boston Day 5.

Last Day! It was pouring, but that didn't stop us from visiting the Bunker Hill memorial (we HAD to, my childhood home was on Bunker Hill Dr.) We called all 294 steps. Oh and did I feel it for the next few days. Yes, we were soaking wet from the rain we but decided to go to church anyways. Then to the MIT museum, after which we went back to my brother and sister-in-laws place for homemade pizza before heading to the airport. Oh and we were delayed two hours so we got back into Vegas at 2 in the morning. So nice.

Obviously, I didn't take the picture of the monument. Sorry, it was pouring too hard to sit outside and take a picture

Boston Day 4.

This was one of my favorite days. We started by heading to Plymouth for a whale watching tour. I've done this tour one other time and said we had to go back! We actually saw a ton of humpback whales not far from the cape cod coast! Its insane how close they get to the boat. The pictures definitely don't do this justice!

After a quick lunch, we headed toward Newport, Rhode Island to do the cliff walk. This is a cliff lined with gigantic homes. Most of these homes are really old and served as summer houses for the very rich. A lot of them still have people living in them, so they are hard to see because of the hedges they have put up to block the public out. Sad.







Yes, we went somewhere after this! I think I am more exhausted now than I was before out trip. For Jason's sake, we had to get some kind of sporting event in while we were in New England country. So, me, Jason, and my dad went to a New England revolution soccer game. It was so much fun we are now thinking we need to head to LA for a Galaxy game! Oh and Gillette Stadium=Amazing!



GOOOOAAALLLL!

Boston Day 3.

Day three we headed to Harvard to hang out with all the smart people in the world. We saw Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garners house right next to Harvard campus and the LDS church! Then we walked around Harvard Square (seriously, an Anthropologie right next to campus? good thing I wasn't smart enough to go there for school) where I grabbed a chocolate croissant for breakfast. Then a stroll through beautiful Harvard before leaving for Concord for the afternoon.

Concord was so quaint! We visited the Old North Bridge where the revolutionary war began. Then we rented kayaks and successfully (aka Jason successfully) kayaked down and back up the Concord River lined with beautiful HUGE homes. After which, we shopped in town and then visited the infamous Waldon Pond. We finished the night with a session at the Boston Temple and some legit Boston style pizza.

Boston Day 2.

My parents got in late the night before, so this was our first official day with the whole family (except for poor ben on his mission). We decided this was the day to explore Boston the actual city. My brother and his wife live in a part of Boston called Brighton, so we had to take the "T" to get into town. I don't mind subways so much, but Jason wasn't a fan!

I think Boston is one of the cleanest most beautiful cities full of delicious food! We had a great day going on a duck boat tour, eating at various food trucks, and checking out some of the history.

Sorry for the half eaten plate of the most incredible butternut squash ravioli I have ever eaten. Being the Italian family that we are, we couldn't resist hitting up the North End for some authentic Italian and cannoli!



We debated going to the game but Jason was too scared of the legit Boston scalpers.
