Spring in February???

Okay so there are several reasons i have not posted in such a long time.... first it was finals week- and the Rhett-ser was on the computer quite a bit(which is okay, i guess, since it is HIS computer!), 2nd- we made a very quick trip to Utah!!! Yay!! 3rd- it was spring break, yes that is right only in Arizona do you get a Spring Break in February, and well during spring break it is like permanent vacation, even if we are at home in good ole' AZ... we try to cram so many things into one week it is a little crazy!! And the 4th reason... i have seriously been obsessed with reading Twilight(yes mom, i read a book!) It is so GOOD!!! I loved it... But onto my post...

It has been a busy couple weeks... We went to Utah, my brother and his wife had a beautiful baby boy and we were very anxious to see the little guy! And boy is he cute!!! While we were there we also had dinner with the Hansen Crew... and then headed over to play games with Rhett's sister Bevin and her husband-to-be... So fun!!!

My mom also had a huge party for her Magazine, Elan Woman, while we were in town. She was able to use one of the parade of home, homes to host her party... so of course we took lots of pictures of the gorgeous house and posted two of our favorites... The pool!!! It is huge, my mom said that is like one of the largest non-olympic in SG or something like that... in other words it is HUGE!!! My favorite part, which i didn't get a picture of... but the master bathroom had two toilets, two entrances to one huge shower and two huge vanities, two sinks two closets, and two exit doors that led to a private outdoor jacuzzi fireplace and shower!! Talk about a dream bathroom!! Although i don't know if i would like cleaning two toilets?? We also loved the waterfall coming out of the 2nd jacuzzi in the backyard...beautiful! My mom threw a great party and honored a few people, the food was great, the party, and then we headed back to Arizona.

And of course.. here are a few pictures!

This is my Grandma, my brothers wife Amy and of course me! We made a great Spaghetti dinner for the fam.
And after dinner, we played guitar hero on the wii!! This is going to be our next big purchase(ummm.... after tuition)... I finally tried playing it and although i am not very good, it is so fun and sooo addicting... Rhett is pretty good though, he might have to teach me a thing or two...

Oh did i mention we bought a new car???!!!

This is us and Bevin Rhett's sister.. at the elan woman party.


And me with baby Aiden, so cute, i miss him already!!

This is the pool and the jacuzzi.. anyone for a swim?? Girls notice the deck for sun-bathing, seriously i think the builders thought of everything, this home was beautiful.

Well after we got home, i went back to work and Rhett enjoyed a little golf, and sometime at the pool, we bbq-ed and played games with some friends. And we tried a new restaurant, only to be found in good ole phoenix.. in the ghetto i might add... Does anyone ever crave chinese and mexican at the same time??? Well then you would love this place, A mexican lady married a chinese man and well they decided to open a restaurant...

That is right folks... mexican-chinese combos- sweet and sour chicken wrapped up in burrito with your choice of fried or spanish rice!! Another favorite teriaki chicken quesadilla!! For some reason i think my brother Jayson would love this place... needless to say it was an experience... 3 of the 4 us left with tummy aches.. not good... but we did get a cool picture of a panda bear wearing a sombrero- bet you won't see that in China... umm or Mexico!

Oooo... I forgot to mention that Rhett also planted some tomato plants... well bought tomato plants. We miss all the hoem grown food from the frei's in Santa Clara, so he thought he would try to grow some of his own. Might not be as good as grandpa's but we hope it works..
