Sun(nap)days
Sundays are wonderful days. I try to get a nap in as often as possible. It just seems to be a good way to rest from the craziness of the week before, and prepare for the craziness of the week ahead.

Trip to Utah
Memorial Day weekend Tyaan, Michael and I took a drive to Salt Lake City.
We stayed at my grandma Avis' house in Salt Lake. We had a lot we wanted to do while we were there. Michael had only been to Salt Lake once, just before entering the MTC so there was lots we wanted to show him.
One of the first places we visited was This is the Place Monument. It is a monument at the base of Emigration Canyon of those that helped the pioneers get to the Salt Lake Valley. It is right next to Pioneer Village which is set up to be like the city at the time it was settled. We spent some time there as well. It was really fun!
We also went to the Church History Museum, which is one of my favorite places. There is some great things to see there. Shannon came to hang out with us there as well!
Of course the most exciting day of the trip was the day we went to Temple Square. Michael and I went to a session at the Salt Lake Temple in the morning, and Tyaan met us there. Before we left Temple Square they were engaged. Afterwards we went to lunch at The Garden Restaurant which is at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and overlooks the temple. I took this cute picture while they were both making phone calls to announce the exciting news!
Believe it or not, this is really a window that overlooks the temple.
Later that day we went to the conference center. Michael had toured the building previously but hadn't been able to see the roof. It's beautiful, and there is a beautiful view of the temple from there as well.
It was such a great trip. On the drive home we were already deciding when we would be able to visit again. And my baby is getting married!!!

A Sunday Afternoon
This is my idea of a perfect Sunday afternoon.
Curled up in bed, reading a good book. 2 of my favorite girls with me, watching TV.
Too bad everyday can't be Sunday...

Magic Mountain
On May 6th Tyaan, Michael and I went to Magic Mountain. We hadn't gone for a couple years and I decided it was time.
We played a game and each got a cape as a prize. I actually won, so got a stuffed monkey as a prize as well. He went on a bunch of rides with me during the day.
Towards the end of the day Tyaan played a game because she wanted to win a batman hat. She did it!
Michael and Tyaan got pulled up on stage for a fun game. They got to throw water balloons, and at the end got drenched!
We had a lot of fun!

Michael & Tyaan
After their snowboarding 'date' Michael and Tyaan started spending a lot of time together. Here are some photos of them in March & April, 2010.
March 1st at a Jazz-Clippers game at the Staples Center.
March 14 at Bryce's mission farewell
April 5 - They were headed out for ice cream and I had to take a picture. They both swam and played water polo for rival high schools. I thought it was cute that they were both wearing their sweatshirts.
April 2oth - On the pool deck at Mt. SAC, where they are both attending.

Riding Trip
On March 27th we went riding. Jon and Bryce (and Marley!) actually went out the day before and camped for the night. The rest of us went up that morning. It was Tyaan, Michael, Caitlin and Courtney Miller, and myself.
It was a fun day. Everyone had plenty of time to ride, and I even got to ride my bike for the first time. We were out on a dry lake bed, which is fun because you can go really fast.
We had a really small bike out that day... Jon rode it around for a few minutes and made us all laugh.
Jon also brought an RC Car. I drove it around for a while. At the edge of the lake bed there is some terrain and I could get the car jumping pretty well. Marley had a great time chasing it for quite a while.
Jon had posted some signs for me to follow. They had gone to a different spot than we usually do so he was concerned about me being able to find them. It was kind of tricky, but we made it.
We had to be home in time for a broadcast that evening, but everyone got their fill of riding. Most of them even rode from the lake bed to the paved road, which took about a half hour or so. It was fun, and burned the gas out of the tanks. Then it was time to head home!
