Check out the air under our toes.

Pumpkinman...My 3rd Triathlon!

My parents and my Aunt Cookie came to watch me do my Tri. It was a blast this time around.

Swish

My friend Whitney and I had a little girls night out. We went to a place called Swish. That is meat on the right. There is boiling water infront of us. You "swish" the food through the water to cook it. It was fun but I probably wont go back.

Go Raw NOT!

There is now way I could ever eat just raw food because raw food also means no meat or much flavor. I don't even remember the name of my dish. The "fries" are avacado with something crushed up to make it not stick to the next fry. It was kind of fun, but too different for me.

Paper Shorts are Hot!

This picture doesn't do those shorts justice. They are so funny. I got a second job to make extra money and get different experiance at work. I had to get a drug test and a physical first. I have never had to put on paper shorts. Only a paper gown at the gyno. I thought they were so great I stole a pair and took them home to show off. Haha!!

Bullets are not aloud to be taken in a carry-on!

So I flew to Salt Lake City for the 4th of July to see some family. As my 1 carry-on went through the x-ray belt they immediately stopped it and stared for a minuet. I am hoping it isn't my bag. Then a security guy came and looked. They confiscated my bag and pulled me to the side. My heart started to race. The guy told me not to reach toward him at any time as he looked through my suitcase. He called a "code T" or something and more men came. I was about to panic. I am thinking for sure I will get my first rectal exam. I asked what was going on and he stated "you have a bullet in your bag". I about died. I asked if he was sure. I freaked out. He looked for a while. They said some stuff to each other and then I was escorted out of security and told to dispose of the bullet. I was warned to never do it again or I will really get it. I went through security again and made it though successfully the 2nd time. Ahhh!! I can't believe that. Thanks Jarom!

Iron Girl 2009-Sprint Triathlon

Another sprint triathlon! I think I might be addicted. I loved this one! I felt so good afterward. My favoite part was the bike for sure. Can you guess which swimmer is me? I can't. I was so nervous for the swim. The swim in the last triathlon I felt anxious. I couldn't relax. This one was so much better. I did inhail water once.

I did the best on the bike. I loved it. I think I did so much better because I have been taking spin/cycling classes.

The last part was the worst. I haven't ran in 2 months because I injured my him doing a 5k run on my birthday. The run was in the hot desert. Some of the hills were so so steep. I kept telling myself not to stop, I didn't pay $80 to walk. I can walk anytime.

Autumn's Boyfriend

I have never seen Autumn so infatuated with anything. She met my friend's turtle "George". She just loves to stair at him. I think maybe she is confused thinking he is a moving rock. I don't know why he hasn't bitten her. She will sniff him while touching his mouth with her nose. Ahhh scary!

Autumn likes to be held like a baby. She missed me after church.

So I got hair extensions!!

This is before.

After. Its pretty long I think. It is so thick also. I love it.

I curled it to see how it would do. The hair curls better than mine.

Sunday Dinners

Jarom and I can never seem to buy enough food for Sunday dinners. So after church we see what food we actually have and what can we make with it. One Sunday we happened to have some pork and onions. I made dumplings with flour water and salt. Yum. It actually turned out good. Do you like onions? Jarom loves them. He ate the whole thing.

Autumn seems to think she is welcome at the dinner table. She is faithful only to food. No she did not eat off my fork.

My 26th Birthday Weekend!!!

It started with my mom suprising me by coming to visit me for my birthday. I picked her up at the airport after a long day at work.

Miles for Better Smiles 5k Run

This is a bad picture but I forgot to eat breakfast before the run. We met Al and Whitney before to ride over together. Whitney was nice and gave me the other half of her banana. I felt weird taking her breakfast but she wanted me to eat it. Thanks Whitney!

That's weird, where is Jarom? Oh yeah, he decided 40 degree weather and really crazy wind was too much to walk the 1 mile he signed up for. He left for McDonalds. I didn't care. Al and Whitney couldn't beleive he ditched us all. Go Jarom!! His excuse was "it was too windy for Autumn". Meanwhile my mom is freezing by the bathrooms (they were blocking the wind) with a little sweater.

Here I am running past the pretty pond. What they didn't advertise is that we would run through dried mud and gravel first. It was the worse coarse ever.

I finished the race. This is the helper guy taking off my timing chip.

Somehow I finished 1st in my age division. I didn't meet my goal. I finished slower. I will blame it on the wind. (not really) This other girl that got 1st all around was so so fast. She left everyone in the dust.

I didn't know if I would do anything on my birthday cause Jarom is always busy so I palnned to get my hair dyed. I didn't know my mom would be coming. She came and shopped a little while I got my hair dyed. Then she watched. It took a little bit so she decieded to get her hair styled. It looked nice. I have been wanting some blonde back in my hair for a while. Brittany did a great job. Her husband goes to school with Jarom. She is so cute.

Birthday Lunch

For lunch my mom and I met Jarom and his family at Ramono's Macarroni Grill. I opened my presents there. Jarom's family got me this facial package at a spa that I had been wanting. Jarom got me a mini laptop. It is pink. I like pink right now. It is so small. I'm horrible about email and updating my blog because I never have my own computer. I always have to wait for Jarom to be home. I love it. It does everything a regular size computer does. Technology is awesome. Thankyou everyone for celebrating my birthday with me.

Jarom loves to tease Autumn.

Jarom's mom is so funny. I asked for a half gallon of ice cream and a package of oreos for my cake this year. This is what I got. She said it is every different kind they have available. I got sick the first night from eating way way way too much.

Mom and I waiting to pick Jarom up from school. He had to take his car in. It was making a funky noise.

My awesome computer. I love it.

So I decided to take my mom to the "new" to me resturant. We both enjoyed it. It was the last thing we did on the way to the airport. The funniest part is she put a hot pepper in her mouth thinking it was a bell pepper. She learned very quickly it wasn't. It was hard not to laugh. We were almost the only ones in the place and she was making a lot of noise. I enjoyed having my mom come for my birthday. Thank you mom. It meant alot!

Pho Huong Saigon

Our friend Al and Whitney have done more in vegas in the last 6 months than we have done in 6 years. They introduced us to a resturant that I love. The service is the worst. Or I should say it is different. It is so fun. I am getting better at using chop sticks. One time we ordered the wrong soup. Thats all we order is soup. The wrong soup has tendon and werid meat. In Jaroms we saw something that I could only compare the texture to tongue. Yuck. Only order the #11.

They also have a spring roll that is held together with rice paper. I love the peanut sauce.

Valentine Day

We decided to go out to dinner for Valentines Day. We love to go out to dinner.

We love to get desserts more than dinner. Actually I might be talking about just me. I love dessert! On the menu it says for 2 or more. We ate the whole thing. Yum. Its called the volcano.

The Lost City

Jarom's mom has wanted to go to the Lost City. It is pretty close to Vegas. I guess it was one of the 1st Mormon towns settled in the area. When they built the dam the city would be flooded. They built the dam as we all know. The city was under water for I can't remember how long. Now all the water is dried up and people can go out and check out the old ruins. It was fun. Sharon packed some snacks. In the above picture I found some weird metal thing that looked like an ab roller. It was fun to see all the houses that have lasted this long.

A bunch of (what ever that stuff is) has grown all over. You have to follow the trails in order to make it through the city. Of coarse Jarom's mom like adventure and was taking her own route. She is fun. She wanted to look at everything.

For one of my birthdays I really wanted a metal detector. Jarom got it for me. He is always looking for opportunities for me to use it. Living in Vegas there aren't many places to use it. We both thought the lost city would be perfect until we happened to notice the sign. We were bummed.

Jarom's face is so funny. After school he practices his guitar. He is getting pretty good. Don't you love the scrubs? Goes with the guitar right?

This picture is with some of the dental wives. We have so much fun together. We got together for Julia's birthday.

Autumn and I at the park. The weather is so nice here in the winter.

Over the break Autumn stayed with my in-laws. They went to their cabin and enjoyed the snow. They were not sure how Autumn would do with the snow. This video says it all. I love it. I watch it over and over.

I love this picture!

Autumn in her santa suit. She hated it.
