Memorial Day/ St. George

All right, let me first explain my weird order of pictures all the time. I can't figure out if it's my computer or my Internet, but it doesn't let me post pictures myself. Like I've mentioned I have to send them to Ben, and it also won't let me center them, so I have all these pictures with words in weird orders. Okay, I'm even confusing myself, bottom line...if it doesn't make sense or look just right, it's not my fault.

On Memorial Day we usually go to Ben's family's home for a BBQ, but they didn't have one this year so we had it at my house. We had BBQ hamburgers and Shayla and Shalleece's fabulous salads. Then we played the Wii. Ryan kicks butt at boxing, we have yet to find someone who can beat him. And I'm proud to say that I played Ben and knocked him out on the first round. Woo Hoo!

The next day on my birthday after Ryan's doctor's appointment we went out for dinner with my brother Brant at Olive Garden, I had yummy Chicken Parmesan. Then we went to Marble Slab Creamery (does it sound anything like Cold Stone?? I don't know how they got away with that name, but it is still good!). It was a good birthday. I'm 26 years old and I still feel 18! I wonder if I'll be saying I feel 18 when I'm 40?

We went to St. George on Wednesday. It took us a long time to get down there, with Ben being sick, and Ryan having to pee a lot, and I did too (that's what happens when you have kids I guess). I'm grateful we weren't going to California! That night we went swimming, and the next day we went swimming. Friday we went to Las Vegas so Ryan could go to M&M world. Ben and I decided we need to go on a getaway to Las Vegas and actually see other things besides M&M's. Saturday we went swimming again, and we ate at all my favorite places, The Pizza Factory (the one on Main St.), Jimmy Johns, and Larsen's froststop (I think that's what it's called). In Vegas we ate at Red Robin...I know all of you are thinking, why do we care where you ate, but food is my favorite thing, so it's a big deal to me! Anyway, we drove home Sunday, and Monday (yesterday) we went to the Zoo and to the Dinosaur museum (those pictures will come later). Ben went back to work today, and it SUCKS! He starts his MBA at the University of Utah tonight, he has class Tuesday and Thursday after work from 6pm to 10pm, and all day Saturday. We've had a very busy and super fun week. It's hard to come back from Vacation. I think people should get to vacation for at least a month, none of the week stuff! :-)

I think the pictures are pretty self explanatory.

Memorial day. Shayla with the boys on the love sac. And Shalleece and Ryan boxing. Don't you love the look Ryan has?
