Get Comfy....

First off before I even start I'm just going to apologize for the MIA I've been in the blogging world....and am going to "try" and get better at this. Where to even begin........so I ended my last entry talking about February and March, well that was 5 months ago and so much has happend. I'll give a quick updated of each month and hope the rest of the year I can stay up to date instead of 5 month long updates. Here goes nothing.

March-
My cousin Camie married Jeff and we were able to go to the temple with her in Draper and then watch the wedding ceremony a few days later in the Salt Lake Temple. I was a beautiful wedding and a great reception.

I totalled my car Cobalt on the freeway mid March. I hit a ladder that fell out of someone's truck, I tried to swirve out of the way but hit the ladder, spun out, overcorrected and hit the cement wall. I was ok, a little shaken up is all and came away with a $210.00 ticket. I'm in the process of fighting the ticket and have my sister in law and brother in law who are lawyers are helping me fight this but it's been kind of a long process. I went to my first court date and the prosecuter wasn't there so that was lame, and my second date is this week July 15th but my sister in law is having her baby that day and so we're now waiting to hear our next date. I did get a new car and I love it but I miss my old one! Don't worry Nick and I have ALMOST matching cars. We both drive Honda Accords but mine it a little nicer, I have leather seats, heated bums, and mine is faster! Nick now wants to sell his car so we don't have matching cars...so if anyone is interested please let us know!

April-
We went to alot of Jazz games,
between Nick working for the Jazz in Inside Ticket Sales and my boss having Season Tickets we were able to go to alot of games. We took my Grandpa Toone to a game when we got to sit in a Suit. He loved it and it was his first Jazz game he's been too. We've been to games with friends, family and co workers. We love to go to the games and every game we went to they won!! Hopefully next season we can go to just as many if not more game!

May-
We've had lots of family get togethers and love getting together with family. Nicks family is fun because they have little one and just watching the kids and listening to the funny things they say are the best! We miss having our other 3 neices and nephew around but they live in Boston and hopefully soon will move back.

Nick's brother McKay got married to Scotti this month and what a great wedding it was. Congrats to Mac, Scotti and Chloe, we wish you the best!

I took my sister's senior pictures for her! They actually turned out great. We did them in 3 days. The first day to was to check out lighting and that and the second day went one for 4 hours! took a MILLION pictures but they turned out awesome! Here are her two final collages she sent out!




We went to St. George with some friends in May. It was perfect weather not too HOT and not cold at all. We swam, Hiked and did a little bit of shopping.
We went over to Zion's and did Weeping Rock, The River Walk, and the big one for the day ANGELS Landing. The hike it's self wasn't too bad but when you started to have to use chains.....I wasn't digging that! But the whole time Nick was so supportive and went slow with me and encouraged me to finish! I did finish and am so glad! It was beautiful, and the view was unbelievable!
We also went and did Red Rock one evening and it was so fun! Red Rock is more of a walk through the Canyon. There are a few parts where you can get in the water and slide off the slick rocks. Nick was the only one that dared to to it!

June-
We've been to the cabin alot this summer which has been fun. We went 3 weekends in a row and it's so nice up there.

June was especially busy, Kristen Graduating High School, Nick running in the Ragnar:Wastach Back, and my dad turning 50 I cant' believe my baby sister is graduated and heading off to Collage next month. I swear it was yesterday when I was at graduation! It was a great day up at Weber State. It was HOT like usual and the ceremony was great. We went to lunch after and had a great time with family. Congrats Kristen and Good Luck at Dixie!
Nick was crazy enough to run in the Ragnar this year with some of my family. I don't think he knew what he was getting himself in but he did great! He beat his estimated times and had a great attitude the whole time!II dont know how happy I would of been to be running 3 different legs during a 24 hour time, no showering, no sleep really since your in the van the whole time besides when your running. But he did it! Congrats to him and team "WHAT THE HILL!"

Well it's not mid July and I'm going to try and keep this updated as much as possible! So far this summer has been great!

Update!

I'm definitely not greatest at this whole blog thing and I know I've said that in the past but I''m trying to get better, get better at blogging and updating, adding pictures, and taking pictures so that is my goal.
For Valentines we kept it low key, we went to lunch with the Miller side and then headed to the annual Boat Show at the South Town Expo Center. We can NEVER miss the boat show, it's Nick's favorite thing to do! After the show we were so tired we came home and took a nice nap and then went out to dinner later to Holy Smokes. It's a yummy BBQ joint in Layton and lately we've been addicted!! Nick got me Flowers and a HUGE heart balloon! So cute, I love him!
A few weekends ago we went to dinner with our friends Josh and Kenzi and actually ended up in Wendover...yup you heard me, WENDOVER NEVADA. WHAT?!?!? The boys kept talking about it at dinner and Kenzi and I were like, no way we are going to Wendover, we were both tired and wanted to go back home and watch a movie and keep it low key, but that didn't happen. We hoped in Josh's mini to go get "ICE CREAM" and ended up in WalMart in SLC, to pick up toiletries and swim suits for our trip. Don't worry here are the items we picked up:
1 Travel Toothpaste
4 pack of Toothbrushes
1 Travel Shaving cream
4 Travel Shick razors
1 giant Sugar Free Rockstar
$3.00 little boy basketball shorts XL for Nick
$3.00 black mini shorts
$7.00 cone shaped sports bras
Let's just say what we were going to wear for the pool...not cool! Kenzi and I had to crash on the way out to Wendover but Nick and Josh were too busy chatting away about life that it was hard to sleep oh and we were in a Mini (did I mention that?) We got to Wendover and ended up having a blast! Nick and I started with $20 each and Nick lost his pretty fast, I on the other hand was up like $40 bucks! I've never really gambled before and now I'm hooked! Ha ha not really but it was a blast, we went dancing with some weirdos, watch/played BlackJack and finally went to the hotel to get some sleep. We went to go maybe get some breakfast but I was so hooked on playing Blackjack again we played at 11:00 in the morning...who does that? We had a great time, Thanks Josh and Kenzi..mainly Josh for kidnapping us!
Last weekend I was able to go to Cali to see my sister compete in the West Coast UCA Cheer Comp. It was so much fun, I got there Friday and laid by the pool and napped, Saturday was the Competition at Universal Studios...they WON!! Congrats to them! Sunday we went to Six Flags...oh my gosh it was so much, Nick was so jealous I was there and he wasn't. But can you believe my mom and dad went on all the RIDES! Whoa! It was so much fun! Thanks Nick for letting me go on this little Vacation! Well that's all for now. Check back in a few weeks hopefully I'll have some new stuff up!

14 Weeks Later!

Well if you go back to the beginning of my blogging you can see I'm not very good at updating our blog. New Years Resolution...more blogging!!! It was a great Holiday Season for Nick and I. Lots of family, friends and alone time. We had a Happy Halloween, a great Thanksgiving, a very Merry Christmas and a Fun New Years. Here's what we've been up too.

Halloween...this year I started a tradition I hope to keep alive. I went with my 2 sister in laws and Meagan's friend to Witches Night Out at Gardner Village. I hope next year we can add my mom and sister and a new sister in law. We had a great time dressing up and having a girls night.

For the last couple years Nick and I go to Trevor's Halloween Party in SLC...this year was so much fun...we all had similar costumes, we went with a animal theme. Nick and I were a Monkey and Banana and Kenzi and Trevor were a skunk and a chicken. It was a blast and we loved dancing the night away!

For Thanksgiving my parents hosted it at their house. It was the first time in a long time we had the entire Toone side there...anuts, uncles, cousins, fiances, and a new neice! We also made it to Nicks parents house for another delicious meal! We went to the movies later that night and saw Blideside...what a great movie, I can't wait until it comes out on DVD..I will definately purchase that one!

We attended lots of Ugly Sweater Christmas Parties during December and had fun with White Elephant gifts too...we framed this picture as one of our gifts, if you want a copy I do have plenty so let me know...this may also be our Christmas Card next year we sent out!

We had Christmas morning with my parents and then later went back to Nicks parents to hang out with the family. We had such a good Christmas, everyone spoiled us!! We got clothes, house stuff, and my most favorite part....NEW Digital SLR Camera!! I'm so excited to get started with Photography...pictures and post to come!




For New Years we did our Annual Midnight Ski night up at Wolf Mountain. This is our 2nd year doing this and it was so much fun. I'm not going to lie I wasn't too hip on going just because it had been so cold that week and I kinda wanted to get dressed up and do something on the town, but I did give in because it had just snowed so good snow and a few friends decided to go too. It ended up being a great night on the slopes, perfect weather and great way to end the year! Happy 2010 everyone!!!!

First Anniversary

This weekend Nick and I celebrated our first year anniversary. It was a blast. Nick got up early Saturday to take a test for midterms and then we were off for the day. We stopped and had lunch at Paradise Bakery and then off to Snowbird Resort for Oktoberfest. We got up there and went to our GIANT room with a perfect mountain view. We went down to the festivities that were going on at the resort center.

We rode the Tram to the top of the mountain 11,000 feet and 29 degrees with the wind blowing at 30 mph and snow.....it was freezing up there but what a beautiful view!


We went back down to the resort center and rode the ZipRider...yes I beat Nick, then off to the Alpine slide....yes I KILLED Nick again. I think that first race down the alpine slide was the fastest anyone has ever gone down. I was like 2 turns ahead of Nick, I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe at the end. That was by far the funniest thing. Nick wanted a rematch at both the ZipRider and Alpine Slide...we switched sides so it was fair. This time on the ZipRider I was in the lead, but Nick did a little tuck action and definately took the lead. Now the score was Shaylee 2 Nick 1....off to the Alpine Slide...we switch tracks again, neck and neck for the first 2 turns and then once again I took off taking the lead....but in the background I heard screaming like a girl.....I slowed down but still won, we got to the bottom and Nick looked like he was definately in some pain....WELL FELL OFF HIS CART!! Ha ha. The ending score Shaylee 3 Nick 1. after the slide we went down to the festivities and watched the performers, walked through the booths, and through the shops.


We went back to the room and got ready for dinner. Nick gave me DIAMOND Earrings.....he gave me some for my birthday 2 years ago but these are bigger and better....they are so pretty, I had to wear them to dinner. We went to the Steak Pit for dinner, during dinner we had a visitor come by....Larry the Porkipine, he was HUGE! After dinner we went down to the pool and hot tub.....so relaxing!!! After the hot tub we were beat and went to bed. It was a perfect day and night and I couldn't asked for a better husband. He truely is amazing, always has suprises, always planning fun things, he's great but most importantly he's my best friend and I love him. I can't believe how fast 1 year has gone by, what a great year. I can't wait for more anniversary's to come!
