Ashlyn's 3rd Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLYN!!!!!

My niece turned 3 years old on the 29th!!!! It was so fun to see her grow up so fast. I wish she would just slow down a little, I don't want her growing up yet! She had a a fun princess party and got completely spoiled!

Enumclaw

Brandon and I went up to Enumclaw, WA for my aunt and uncle's surprise 30th Wedding Anniversary! It was so much fun! My cousin, Stephannie and her hubby, Jay, did an amazing job setting this all up. They were completely surprised, it was so much fun! It was so good to see all of my family again! 

P.S.Thanks for letting us stay at your place Steph!!!! 

Broc, Kass & the Mile High City

We invited Brandon's little brother and sister to come spend a week with us in Colorado the last week we were there! We had a blast and are so happy they decided to come spend time with us! 

First they get off the plane and we were holding a sign for them to make sure they could find us! BTW, this was their first plane ride without any adults. We hear Broc decided to do a little girl scream for everybody on the plane when they were landing. 

Then there's us at Jump Street! It's a place with a hundred trampolines and you just JUMPJUMPJUMP!!! We bought 2 hours worth and were about dead after the first half hour. It wears you out.

Then we went to the aquarium! Brandon, Broc, & Kass all decided to pet the sting rays AHHHH, there was no way I would ever touch one of those. They said they were just kind of rubbery. But it was kind of cool to see. They had some amazing things in there, including a tiger..why they had a tiger at an aquarium is a mystery to me, but it was fun to see!
Then the zoo!!!! We took lots of pictures of all of the animals! But we decided to see how short we were compared to an average polar bear. The bear is 9 feet in this pic and look how tiny we are:)
Then to Elitch Gardens!!!! It's an amusement park in downtown Denver! We went with one of our friends, Lizzy!!! Oh how we miss that girl!!!! But it was so much fun. We went over to the water park and I was watching our stuff while they went on a couple slides. I decided to move to the shade but continued to watch our belongings. Well they all came back and apparently didn't see me sitting 5 feet away. So they decided to lay down by all of our stuff and pretend to sleep, acting like they've been there forever. Well this lady was sitting next to me and we were both just cracking up. Especially because Brandon kept sitting up looking around for me and asking where I went lol!!!! I guess it was a "you had to be there" moment! But it was so funny!
Anyways, we were so happy that they came to visit us! So much fun! My only advise...NEVER go to Denver on vacation!!!! 

Photo Shoot

Brandon & I had a little photo shoot on Sunday just for a little fun! You can totally laugh all you want because we just used our tripod and out digital camera and a way we went! We had fun though so that's all that matters, right?!?!?!

This next picture I absolutely love! I took the idea from Shonda Barlow, so I am giving her full credit for this pose! It's one of my favorites though, who would have thought of this?!?!?!

Baldy Brandon

I have been getting on Brandon's nerves because I have been asking him to shave his head for probably a year now! Well, the other day I told him his hair was getting a little long and that he needed a hair cut. He responded very quickly and told me that I could shave his head! So before he changed his mind, I got the hair cutting equipment out! He said there was only one condition....That I do funny stuff on the way to shaving it off all the way.

First, we made a mow hawk that went all the way down his head!!!

Then we shaved off the back of the mow hawk cuz it was looking to much like a mullet for me to handle. But then he wouldn't let me shave it off. He didn't tell that he wanted the mow hawk for a few days. So, I let him keep it for a couple days.
Then comes around the 4th day....I told him that it needed to be shaved off to go to the temple. So it got shaved!!!! Completely!!!!
Yes, you may say he looks like a cancer patient, but really he's as healthy as a horse. He just needs to get a tan sometime soon!!!!

That thong thong thong thong

Who would have thought bag making would turn into thong making.

I was in the middle of making another bag/purse, when we decided to have some friends over for dinner. I had the pieces of the bag laying on the floor...

Chris: "What the heck are you ladies making over here?"

Me: "Bags...Why do you ask?"

Chris: "It looks like you are making a homemade thong!"

Me: "(laughing) Yeah! That's what I'm making!!!"

So I had to show everybody what my homemade thong looked like hahaha!!!! These are really pieces of the handle and the top of my bag :P

The Fam Damily of the B'Guerra's!!!!

Paul Guerra returned home from his mission and decided to come out and sell with his brother, Mario. The whole "fam damily" decided to bring Paul out so we all took a day to go to Elitch Gardens and have some fun. So we did. There was a little water park, which was pretty fun too, but this park really isn't the greatest in mind, but it was fun anyways!!! (As you will notice below, I make up my own names for rides because I have a horrible memory when it comes to names of people, places, or things.)

This is the ride that takes you up 225 feet and then drops you:( I always get so scared, I even scared Brandon just because of how scared I was. I hate going to the top and sitting there for a second to think about this, I kick and scream like crazy, but I love the excitement of the ride! It's a thrill!!!

This is the 'boat' ride. You get in this boat, go up however many feet then go down a drop just like a roller coaster except for at the end of this one you get totally drenched.

As you can see below, Ken and Joni are trying to get over the bridge before the boat splashes the water, but barely made it. The water splashes so far and high you can't even tell in that picture because that's how high it splashed, which is why I added this other picture so you could get a feel of what it was like.This is us after the ride, I would have been soaked in the front of my body too, but I decided to lean forward so that only my back got wet!

This is what I call the swing ride, you get in a full body harness like shown below. Then you get attached to your 'flying partners' get pulled up 152feet, one of you pulls the chord, you free fall about 50feet, then you enjoy the swinging time!!!!

This is right after we got our harness' on.

The Guerra's going up for their swing!!! Yay!

Us getting ready to go up the 152feet. AHHHHH!!! As you can tell, I am trying to look excited, but I am scared out of my mind.

The after effects...I was so scared, I kept saying how scared I was the entire way up, then as we dropped I screamed so loud, and drool came out of my mouth and got all over Mario's face :) Also, Mario had to yell at me to let go of his arm because I was holding on so tight because I was scared out of my mind, but after that first initial drop you are aloud to let your arms out and fly, but I wouldn't let go until the 2nd swing heehee

My absolute favorite rides are the 'old school' roller coasters. Brandon didn't like it so much because it was too jerky for him, but I loved it!!!

This is the end of the day. We came back from Elitch and had a BBQ by the pool!

Yes, we did swim! Even though we had a thunderstorm that night. But we went back to our apartments before it got too bad, don't worry. But I just had to show everybody how loving brothers and sisters should be....these two are a FABULOUS example :P

Thank You Laurel!!!!

Yay!!! I am so excited for my new hat!!! It is so cute! I got it in the mail about a week or two ago now, I'm just a total slacker when it comes to blogging.... However, I wanted to make sure that I said, "THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH LAUREL!!!! I LOVE MY NEW HAT!!!!"
