Sundays with the Redd's

Tracy and Russell's family are the best thing about living in St. George. They have extended a weekly sunday invite to us since we moved here to join them and their family for sunday dinner and company. We absolutely love getting to spend time with them and their kids and grandkids...I feel like an aunt to their grand-kids, and like siblings to their kids...I LOVE THEM!

This sunday was the pumpkin carving, and the annual Charlie Brown "Great-Pumpkin" video.

Here are some of the pics from the festivities:

chav got a balloon stuck around the fan..haha

The kids had a blast with Chavis...I hope he has this much energy when we have kids!

Virginia's Vegas Birthday Get-A-Way


Virginia is one of the girls I go to SUU with, and one of the girls that put in a good word for me at the hospital so I could get hired. It was her 25th birthday this weekend, so we headed for a last-minute trip to Vegas!

We had 3 things in mind for this trip: SHOPPING, DANCING, and POOL time!

Saturday we spent the afternoon shopping, and this mall was doing hourly runway shows...so fun to watch!

Saturday night we went to Tao nightclub, and we had a blast! Chavis was a little nervous to dance, but once we got there  he loosened up!

COOLEST Canadians EVER


PRE-TUBBIN

After dancing the night away, we went back to the hotel and soaked our sore feet in the hot-tub...this is the view of our hotel (The Tropicana) from the hot-tub

SUNDAY: pool day!




Get-A-Way Vegas....HUGE success!!!!

Chav's Deer

Oct 22-23, 2011
This year for part of my Dad's birthday present we put him in for the general deer tag in Blanding so him and Chavis could have a weekend (seeing as how my Dad has spent his entire married life surrounded by girls). Unfortunately, my parents took on a HUGE project heading up the Haunted House at the old Spring-Glen schoolhouse, so he wasn't able to go.

So Chav headed to Blanding one man down, but went out with his friend Adam (aka Bean)...and they found this thing!!!



Congrats Chav! I don't know much about deer, but it looks good to me!...and I'm assuming it does to others too since you sent out a million and one pic-txts :)

Thriller!

Oct 28, 2011
Starting my new job at the hospital has been an amazing experience, and I have met some amazing people! Last friday a group of girls from the hospital went to see Tuachan's Thriller..while not what I expected...the zombies walking through the audience were exactly what I expected!

I know how I react when I get scared, so I warned all the girls as we walked in that I would be swearing if scared...and sure enough...not even sitting down 5 minutes and I see this zombie a couple rows above me just tormenting this woman, "Oh, look at her. I need to prepare myself for something like that so I'm not freaked out," I  say to Virginia. Meanwhile there is a zombie right next to me (just waiting for me, Im the only one who doesn't know she's there)...and yeah right as I turn around...BAM-right in my face, "SHIT BALLS!" I scream..right in Alisa's ear...and yes, EVERYONE stared. BUT I did warn them.

GO UTES!!

Sept 17, 2011
While Chav is away, I decided my Dad and I should go to the Utah VS Byu game! Uncle Joel and his daughter Mindy came with us (Byu fans...but we love 'em anyway)!




Walking into the stadium was like a see of blue, with random dots of red....

Leaving the stadium was another story. By the end of the 3rd quarter most of the cougar fans had rolled out.



It wasn't much of a game after the 2nd half, but it was still a VICTORY for the UTES.


Chav gone hunting

Sept 9, 2011
Chav left for 20 days to go guide for BTO again this year...definately miss him! Thankfully I got offered a job at Dixie Regional Medical center right before he left!!!!! :-D so between school projects, clinical hours, and orienting for this new job; I've been at the house to sleep and eat...and that's about it.

I hate this time every year when he leaves, but it's true what they say: distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

Fun in the Sun!

July 2011:
By some miracle we both found time in our busy schedules to hang out with eachother (Kyle and Kylee Treece). Kyle and Chav knew eachother back on the mission, and we've really enjoyed living so close to them. Saturday we went to Quail Creek and hung out for the afternoon...
gotta love the crack on the left and the "white-boy" on the right
