HOORAY WE HAVE GRASS

Well we got our curbing in yesterday (it looks so awesome I love it). Sod arrived today and me, Steve, Steve's dad and two high school boys that Steve hired laid it. My job was cutting and piecing, pretty easy work but my fingers are really sore tonight.

I LOVE IT. It is so nice to look out my office window and see green grass. Supposedly we are suppose to stay off of it for about 10 days. Me and the girls are going to my moms in McCammon for the rest of the week and weekend so the girls (and myself) won't be temped to go and roll around in it.

The arrival


Me and Zoey (I know I look lovely).


Zoey is the best helper

The girls jumping for joy that they have grass to play on.

Happy Anniversary to Me and Steve

Today is our 5th anniversary. I actually just remembered 2 days ago. Luckily it wasn't 2 days later. Steve is the good one about remembering special occasions. I (embarrassingly) will admit that I tend to forget. It must be my busy life (right??)

Well we were married in Parma Idaho at Steve's Parents house in 2003. We applied for a temple marriage (Steve had been married in the temple before and a man has to get special permission to remarry in the temple again). He was denied and had to wait 6 months to apply again. We decided it would be best not to wait.

Aren't we fun????


A year later, July 2004 we were sealed in the Boise Idaho Temple. We hosted a Gunter family reunion at the cabin that week and so unfortunately we were not terribly dressed up for the occasion.

I'm not sure what the day will bring for us, but I do have a hair appointment today so I will be all ready for a hot date to celebrate our 5 years of fabulous marriage.

New Hair Style Website

Wow Steve has hair!!!
Funny huh?

Skinny Husband

At Nyssa School District the employees started a Biggest Loser Competition in October. Steve at that point weighed 220 pounds. He continued to play basketball and lift weights 6 days a week but he definately changed his eating habits. They ended the competition the first of May and his ending weight was 175.5 equally a total loss of about 45 pounds. Everyone tells us how great he looks, but since I see him everyday, the change was not as noticable to me until I saw some pictures and compared now and later pics. So he ended up 1st place by a smidge, he beat another lady by a small percentage. He ended up wtih about $350.oo dollars or so. Pretty cool. Took me and another couple out to eat at an awesome Japanese restaruant in Ontario to celebrate (he pigged out on Sushi). Ironic how you win a weight competition and reward yourself by stuffing yourself. Oh well he deserves it!!!!!

So as Steve is shedding a few pounds every week, I am gaining them. I guess I have a good excuse being pregnant but that will only be my excuse for another few months.

I figured I would spare you from the shirtless pictures that really show the difference.
Anyways Way to Go Steve!!!!

First part of SPRING BREAK-EASTER

Well we had parent teacher conferences for Shya on the 19th. Shya is doing awesome in school!!! Wednesday was also the last day of school for students. Steve had to go on Thursday until 9 at night but then was off for Spring Break. So our activities so far have consisted of....Rob and Carrie, Britton, Breckin and Malia showed up at our house at 3:30in the morning Friday morning. They drove all night. I still taught aerobics Friday morning as usual came home and we pretty much did absolutely nothing but chill all day Friday. Hopefully Rob, Carrie and their fam were not completely bored out of their minds. WE did go out to dinner Friday night in Nampa. It took us 1 hour to figure out where we were going to eat (you know so many decisions when you go into a big town)!!!
All of us at Red Robin

Saturday we were a little bit more adventurous Rob and Steve took the kids to the hot pots out by the damn while me and Carrie went to Wal-Mart and Jo-Anns.





Next we took the girls to the Primary Activity. They had lots of fun they played games and then had an easter egg hunt!!

We rented 4 movies and watched movies the rest of the night. It was great!!
And..............Today is EASTER, Happy Easter everybody!!!
Of course we went to church, had a nice dinner and Carrie made scrumptious lemon bars. MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Rob and Carrie left after dinner. Thanks for coming guys, hope you had a fabulous time!!

After Rob and Carried left, Me, Steve and the girls packed up our easter eggs and headed over to Margies. We had an easter egg hunt in her back yard and visited with her and the girls played in the yard (since we don't have any grass yet we have to borrow hers). Let's see what tomorrow and the rest of Spring Break brings for us. I'll keep you posted..
