Marvelous May

May was so good to us! Every weekend was great. So here are some of the highlights:

We went to the famous Roscoe's.  What do they serve, you ask? Chicken and waffles! And that is exactly what we got when we went to eat.  After we headed over the NCAA Men's Volleyball Championships where BYU was playing Irvine once again... Unfortunately this time it didn't end so great.

The following weekend Jeff's school had a "splash for cash" event where they through $500 in ones and fives in the pool and let students dive for it.  Jeff made out with a whopping $33! (In his defense there was a bunch of people and some of them TRAINED for it. haha)  Then he played in the accompanying dodgeball tournament and took home the gold and another $55! Needless to say, it was a profitable weekend for one!

One of the most awesome things we did was take a quick trip to Las Vegas to finally use our Cirque Du Soleil tickets!  And by quick I mean we drove to Vegas, had dinner at the Olive Garden that Jeff surprised me at 3 years ago, watched the show, and drove home.  We were gone a total of 11 hours.  But it was worth it not to sit in traffic!  The show was incredible!  The stage has a giant pool in it with a retractable floor that kept coming up and down for the divers and acrobats.  I can now check this off my bucket list.

Can you see the excitement on my face

Other very noteworthy news is that our good friends the Nelson's had their cute baby boy! :) But in sad news our other close friends the Van Wickles moved away :( We are so excited for both of their new adventures!

Couldn't he pass as mine??

Finally, Memorial Day Weekend! We ventured over to Arizona to hang out with Emily and Kenny!  We had the greatest time visiting the Grand Canyon, playing games, swimming, and playing tennis. We got so lucky that the weather was so perfect the whole time! Hopefully we will have many more adventures the them in the near future!

April, April, April

During April, we got to celebrate this cutie's 28th birthday:

He wanted a neck beard..

The next day we headed out to Anaheim for this giant California Dental Associate fair.  Jeff had to present some research while I went to some classes for the office.  There were tons of vendors there; however they have gotten quite stingy on giving out free stuff! We still each walked away with a large bag full, so I can't complain.

It was a very long day.

Jeff played in a charity basketball tournament that weekend. Even though the team didn't win, he got in some quality bball.

Look at those hops!

Much of the rest of the month was busy crafting and planning for our Young Women's Fundraiser.  This years theme was "Country/ Hoedown."  We made the cutest decorations this year! We also had an adorable photo booth, homemade rootbeer, live band, bake sale, and yummy pulled pork. I would consider it a success!

Every table had these with a basket of peanuts!  We used a lot of glue for the 100+ flowers we made!

The wanted posters are of the girls and their dads. They turned out soooo cute. They each made up their own nicknames, what they are wanted for, reward, and phone number to call. 

Cutest banners ever. And I made all 100 feet of them!

Awesome photo booth. It turned out so great!

 We also got to finally visit the LA Temple! Our friend Brad from BYU got married there to his cute wife Andrea.  The weather was absolutely perfect.

The flowers were so pretty around the reflecting pool.

It is huge!

Oh Adbray.

Aren't we cute?

Between the sealing and the reception, we got to visit Santa Monica Pier. We had never been there, but definitely plan on going back! The beach is nice with tons of things to do and the pier is full of games and rides. The only downfall is the crazy traffic and parking, but I guess that's the price you pay to be in California!

Oh and did I mention that Jeff graduates in a little over a year??? Time is flying!
