My New Do!

Well I was getting really tired of having the same hair do, so I was trying to decide between coloring it or getting bangs. Because coloring can cost a ton I went with the bangs...

Here is another way the bangs can go...

I really like the cut because I can do so many things with it, I can pull my bangs back, leave then down, or put them to the side. It is something new and a lot of fun for now.

Arizona State Fair

I don't know what it is about fairs but Dean and I LOVE them. It probably has to do with the fact that we have awesome ones back home, and who couldn't use a good excuse to eat junk food.
So this week the Arizona State Fair opened and goes till Nov. 6th. I know it is a long one! Well Dean and I decided to venture out and see what it was like. It does seem weird to have a fair in October because back home it is cold. Well not here, nope the day of the fair I think was 90 something. So here are some pictures of the fair... If you can't tell we enjoyed ourselves.

The Mascot of the fair, minus my face :-)

Dean admiring the junk food.

The Biggest pillow pet we have ever seen!

So we knew that Trace Adkins was playing so Dean and I went into the building where he was assuming it cost money, but when we got there we kept walking like we were going to go watch it and the nice escort showed us the way to our seats. So Yes it was FREE! (or at least we think it was)

The Figure 8 car demolition derby!

Catching the butterflies and feeding them nectar!

Dean caught one on his head.

As we were walking out of the fair we saw this. Yep a big yellow snake! Yuck!

The fair was a lot of fun and a great night spent together!

An update!

Well these last few weeks have flown. The first part of this blog are some picture of a few months ago I got them off of my mom's camera and loved them so here they are...

Some Pictures of Arizona as we arrived and while Mom and Michelle were here dropping us off.

At the visitors center Dean, me, and Kaitlyn (love the palm trees)

An orange tree. I think it is the first one I have seen. It is a sour orange tree from what I heard it has the longest roots and that is why it is at the temple :)

Cool nature garden at the temple. Mom blends right in.

Temple grounds

The beautiful Mesa Temple!!!

The rest of us by the nature garden.

Awesome Pic of a palm tree. (Good job mom)

Well now I am caught up on all my other pictures Now for the last few weeks. Well Dean went to Boise for Business for two weeks and I kept trying to find a way that maybe I could go see him for a weekend. But is wasn't working I couldn't find a half way different priced ticket and I hadn't talked to my boss about getting time off. So I didn't worry about it and I planned on working and doing projects while he was gone. So these are those projects.

I made pillows and put a couch cover on the couch so it matched our living room finally and looked more classy.

Pictures are below:

The finished project.

So a few days after I thought there wasn't anyway I was going to Boise. I wasn't at work and didn't look like was going to be very busy for the next week so I started to look for plane tickets and I found a half way okay priced one and I called my boss and asked if she needed me and if not could fly to Boise for the WHOLE next week. She gave me the okay, SO I bought the ticket and flew to Boise two days later. Hence the picture below.

Leaving Phoenix...

One of the reasons I was really excited to go to Boise (besides to see Dean) was to meet my NEW niece Aubry Ann Thornley

So I got into Boise Saturday night late and headed to Adrian to stay the night. Sunday was conference so we got together as a big family and had a big dinner. I have had three new nieces born since June and here they are... Oldest to youngest and Biggest to smallest. Kaitlyn, Brielle, Aubry. SOO Sweet huh?

Sunday evening Dean and I went back to the Bed and Breakfast he was staying at in Emmett (Frozen Dog Digs). It was awesome because when Dean was staying there the week before he was staying in a room with a bathroom. But it wasn't a suite or anything however, when we arrived the owner put us up in the anniversary suite. The pictures are below. There was a small kitchen, a king size bed, a surround sound, and a jacuzzi tub. It was so much fun. We stay really busy the whole week and only got to see each other at night but it was a great place to stay.

So the week was great and it was so fun to see family. Monday I picked grapes, canned pears, and hung out with Mom and Michelle. Tuesday we got together as Sisters and Mom and went shopping for crafts we wanted to do the next day it was a lot of fun and Hobby Lobby is awesome!

Wednesday we got together and did crafts all day, I made sugar cookies, a board of when Dean and I were married, and a hair bow. I also had a lot of cuddle times with my baby nieces.

Me with the babies Brielle, Kaitlyn, and Aubry


Mark and Mom went hunting and Kayden got all dressed up cause he wanted to go so bad. Isn't he cute!


My Brother Brian got his Buck! He loves this pic. cause he got it with Daniel's gun who is on a mission. ; )


Pretty Nice huh?


Thursday Mom and I hung out, after she helped Brian with his buck. We went to my Grandma and pa Brysons house and talked to them for a bit, and then we went and got dessert and window shopped. That night we went to dinner at the Olive Garden with all the Adults, it was a ton of fun.
Mom and I on a girls day!

On Friday I road with Dad for a bit in the potato truck so here are some pics of potato harvest.

Friday Michelle and Mom took me back to Emmett and after a few minutes of driving I looked in the back seat and saw this...

Sunday the day after we got back to Arizona Dean and I did something we do quite often look at cool houses. I have been wanting to get some pics of houses in AZ because I think they are so cool looking. So here are the pics of a few.

These last few week have been a lot of fun and have just flown by.
