Fun Things!

So, last weekend, Brielle went off to Grandma and Grandpa's house to enjoy some IHOP and spoiling(which i love:) and Brandon and I got to get our house picked up a bit and enjoy a small hike! We went up to Valley of Fire and it was pretty nice and peaceful and I like the desert and all but, man, i find it hard to Call it BEAUTIFUL. B/c Earthen beauty to me is like Oregon or the Rocky Mountains, snow-capped mountains, tropical rain forests, waterfalls and lush, GREEN, landscapes. But, it was really neat!

Aria did well in the backpack that my friend, Katie R., let us use and she napped on the way up and back from our little trip. She did great at getting attention from all the other hikers too!

Here's a few pics...

These are sweet etching from some old school Engins! I wonder if petroglyphs are like the old form of TAGGING or Grafiti!

Were Ma and Pa Indian getting on their sons about how the local boys were making all the stones messed up??? Who knows?

Well, one things for sure, i hate Taggers! But they did a great job at giving us insite about how they all lived back then. Check out that wheel-like one. That's awesome! What else can you spot on these stones???

This week, I have been working out with my new Trainer, NORA, whom i will blog about very soon! and i have lost another 6 or so pounds from when i commented on my weight last, i think.

Anyways, i've lost a total of 50 lbs to date!

My long lost friend popped up in my life again. Lisa, I missed you , lady! Here's our kids together. Aren't they all so cute!

The baby is Annie and the 3 yr. old is Lilly! I hope to have even more good times with Lisa and family! Lilly is good at being bossy and Brielle is learning to be the same way with other kids littler than her. It's funny! i know Brielle will be bossing around Aria soon.~
