Mark, Annie, and The Park

Discovery Park

For FHE, Mark and I have to get pretty darn creative these days, so we went to this park that I L-O-V-E! It is one of the coolest parks. There are a lot of parks out there that are really generic that have plastic slides, monkey bars, swings, blah, blah, blah, boring akjs dlfiaj;owe ifhakjfhlak sjfhla ksjdf hlak....you get my point right? Anyways, THIS park is like a learning jungle. You pretend you are the king of this HUGE fort and you run around to these different sections such as: the earthquake platform (what it supposedly feels like to be in an earthquake), walk the line section (more for teens, but it is a balance beam but more challenging), bull riding (made out of plastic tires- pretty cool I guess if you are two years old), spinning things you sit on (really cool!!! trust me on this one), spaceship, and overall, it is just a very interesting park! It is made to use the imaginations of the children that come and play.... Sorry I didn't take a picture of the entire park, but to give you a mental image, it looks like a HUGE wooden fort! Here are some pictures~!

Mark looks so Happy!!!!

A beehive. They have an entire area of beehives.... I have never really understood why....

Don't look at my face. I was trying to show the balance beam thing. Making a point. Point made.

Like I said-Tricky

I don't really know what Mark is doing.....

Here we are looking from the bull swing thing.... and Mark is falling.

If those were MY boys...

Yesterday was SUCH a nice, warm day! I absolutely loved it! There was not a moment to lose! Mark and I got our swimsuits out, camera, towels, and off we went to the clubhouse to swim. While we were there, we were enjoying the amenities of the clubhouse just like a couple of ladies and children that had arrived before us. LET me give you a little forum on these 'children'. These 'children' or should I say 'boys' were throwing rocks into the pool; snorkels into the pool; fighting amongst each; playing favorites; MUST I GO ON.... I tried to ignore them, so while Mark and I were taking these really cool pictures I am about to show you, one of the mothers came over and asked me to get the snorkels from the deep end. Sure, I thought (not knowing what I was getting myself into). I go down there, and when I come up, she says I have mascara on my face and she gets her thumb and gets her SPIT (YES! HER FRESH GROWN SPIT) and wipes the side of my nose..... alright... so that made it better......

Later in the pool, I start stepping on the rocks.. great! Mark gets one rock and tosses it out. The kids intentionally get the snorkels and throw them and in and yell at us to get them... I ignore them because they are not my children..... (My question: Where are the mothers?- They are talking and sunbathing) Then, I go get the snorkels a few more times and ignore them a few more times and while Mark was coming towards me from the one side of the pool, I heard THE MOST APPALLING THING FROM TWO LITTLE 5 Year-olds! (I will keep this as rated-G as possible) and I quote: "I want to kiss her A**!," "Yeah, I want to kiss her A**!" and then I turned and the one little boy turned to the other and said, "What did you say? What did you say?" HELLO? I am NOT STUPID LITTLE TWIRP! I saw and heard you the entire time! You might as well say it to my face ya little slime ball!

I told Mark and he started laughing! I wanted to laugh too! I was getting the gitty-up by two little 5-year-olds! That is nasty! Hell-a NO! Anyways, I asked Mark to come with me to talk to the moms. That was awkward... "Uhm, ma'am, your two little boys just said they want to kiss my A**"..... tell me thats not awkward.....

Man if those were my boys........

Yeah, not going private.... too much of a hassle and its just me and Mark. So we will keep everyone posted when we do go private, IF we do. Okay?

Thanks Mom!

Everyone one has those"special" moments; moments that you sometimes wish NEVER happened. Yes, those EMBARRASSING ONES. Well, one of these "moments" occured yesterday. Mark and I were at my parents house and we were having a jolly good time; sitting, laughing, talking, and then we came upon the topic of my birthday. We kinda talked about cake and ice cream, music, possibly other party ideas, but it was not long until my mom digressed onto other topics. I left the room temporarily and when I came back into the room, there it was; Birthday: The day I was born. The embarrassing life I led as a child. Great. Mark was laughing, my mom was laughing, I was was as red as a tomato gets. My mom was telling the tale of the day my dad was urinating in the most masculine way possible with the doors wide open. And I, being the adventurous little 2/3 year old, I decided the next time I would pee, I would pee just like my dad. The only problem was, when I did it, it didnt quite make into the toilet.
Thanks Mom!

Gee

Well I guess since everyone is going private... I might as well..... So, how do you go private?

3 Months of Love

Pure Love

Mark and I have been married for exactly 3 months and one day. Since Mark had to work all day I decided I would spend my morning with my mom and my dog Presley at Neilen's Grove. It is this Park in the southwestern area of Orem. It is so pretty!! It is one of those parks that you could honestly say comes straight from a movie! There is a duck pond, big playgrounds, amazing fountain, beautiful gardens, and this revolving swing. I love this park! I wish it was closer to my home so I could come to it more often but I cant. Here are some pictures so you can get an idea...

So, ya know how I don't have any children? Well, I had to improvise for this shot.... So the only alternative was my dog. There you have it people; When life gives you pineapples, make pina coladas!!

My cute little mom had no idea about this picture. I just told her to smile for the camera on my phone. She has no idea this is going to be on the blog! I told her it would be impossible to get the picture from my camera onto the computer! IF ONLY SHE KNEW! Maybe I should tell her.....

Oh and apparently they have over 2,000 different types of tulips, but when I went, they were not completely in bloom, but I took some shots of a couple of some that I thought were really pretty.

So when Mark wasn't working, we went to CHILI'S!! (If you didn't notice, I really like that place.) I was dying to eat their amazing spinach artichoke dip! I absolutely LOVE it~! If you have never had, try it! Three words baby- MMM MMM MMM! Oh, so I got the cute little hamburger things and mashed potatoes and Mark got some chicken fajita thingys. They smelled good. Okay then onto the dessert-----> Our waiter advised us to get this lava/moutain thingy (can't remember; can ya tell?) but it looks and tastes really good. We got it TO GO because the waiter advised us to get it TO GO so we could snuggle on the couch and watch a movie while we eat it..... It was this really yummy hot chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream on top. I dont have pics of it but I have pics of everything else....

Okay, so I thought I had a picture of the spinach artichoke dip, but maybe I didn't...

Uh...

R.A.N.D.O.M.

So. Yesterday, I was ready to finish up on my blog on my dry socket and I looked outside and saw some people gathered around. It seemed just like a little family looking into renting a condo or something like that. Then, not too long after that, I saw four police officers gathered together around the same area and I didn't see the family so I figure there was a lose criminal or car racers or something like that, so I got up to lock the door. When I got up and locked the door I looked out my patio sliding door and saw this horse thing by my car..... I kinda sat there not knowing what to think! And then it rolled over and its guts were hanging out with it too! Hello?! I couldn't BELIEVE what was going on! The horse was like having seizures on my car... and then one of the cops saw me and then they all turned and then they kinda did this sign language lingo asking me if that was my car and I nodded. Then a cop came up and escorted me to my own car and while I was in my car, the horse (with its guts hanging out) shook my car (a lot) and the cops had to guide me because the horse's legs would move from behind the wheels. Intense; eh? It gets better!!

So after the horse gets up and I back fast it starts running everywhere! I am thinking, "Man, if my guts were hanging out everywhere, I wouldnt be running, I would me screaming and moaning and wanting to get pain killers and whatever else I could think of! Not running around in the middle of the road like a lunatic!" After I had to sit in my car and while I waited I took this pic with my phone.

I took this photo and the cop turned around and looked at me as if I did something wrong.... I dont know if I should have taken anymore pics.... So I didnt.. I did however take pictures of my car damage. MY NEW CAR might I add.....

Apparently the horse that lived across the street from our condo was spooked by the construction that was going on around the area and it tried to hop the barb wire fence and it didnt jump high enough. Sad story for the horse. I kinda know the guy just because he always said hi when my dog always barked at his horse when he walked by. I feel for the guy!
