Hey All,

Brandon and I had a really fun weekend thanks to Holly
and Ryan. Holly coached a little league team for basketball
and as a thank you she was given tickets to a jazz game.
Unfortunately Holly was advised to not travel because she is
so close to her due date, so Issac came along instead.
We went to the Jazz v. Phoenix Suns game which turned out
to a way exciting, with the Jazz going into overtime and winning.







After the game they stayed the night and went
to church with us the next day. It was a great weekend.
Thanks Ryan and Holly!!!

Cambo's b-day party

I must say my nephew is one spoiled little

boy. I think he made out with enough toys

to last him a lifetime, but he's so dang cute so he deserves it.

Jimmy and Monica came with Matty and baby Lucas

As well and Grandma Pat and Grandpa Sam and

Julie

I wish I had a pic of Cambo's cake. (You'll have to jump

over to La's blog to see it. But it was soo cool. ) It was so good

to get to see everybody; that has to be one of my favorite

parts of celebrating birthdays, getting to just hang out and

have a great time.

Hello Hello Hello


So we just got back from Cabo and it was so warm and sunny there I'm going with a Spring background because I'm done with winter. I'm ready for sun and 90 degree weather. Cabo was so amazing!!! It was fun to go and relax and sit out on the beach. One of my favorite things was morning breakfast out on the balcony, looking out over the ocean.



The beach was a great place to get to go and relax and get
a nice tan. Too bad I didn't listen to Brandon and put on sunscreen
so now my legs, arms, chest, and nose are peeling. lol.





We loved going for walks on the beach



On our third night there. The resturaunt at the hotel
had their fiesta night, which had a big buffet, with
dancing, a little comedy part with volutneers that had to go up
and do funny things. Last time we went to Cabo, Brandon was volunteered
and got to shake his butt for everybody.




Kay this next picture of the pelican I have to explain.
The guy in the background in the striped shirt, the pelican was
following him around everywhere he went. First the guy was on the
beach and the pelican followed him there. Then he went up the resturaunt
and the pelican followed him there. It was so funny.
He even said, "The dang thing keeps chasing me." So he went and
hid behind a post. After the pelican was done chasing the guy
he headed off toward the kitchen and the employees
had to chase it out. Hilarious



One thing that was cool to go on was the whale watching
adventure. We went on a pirate ship that had a little show and
breakfast while we headed out the area where the whales were.
The whales are only there for a couple of months
and it was sooooo neat to see them jump out of the water. We
also learned that the whales do that for three reasons.
1- to see where they are in the area
2- to get the barnicales off of their bodies
3- the males do it to show off if they are mating
Here is the famous arch and lovers beach. They call it
that because the tides and waves coming onto the beach are
not bad at all, but on the other side of the rock is divorce
beach. They call it that because the tides and waves crash onto
that side beach reallyhard.









We also spent a couple days in San Jose Del Cabo which
was fun. I was fullu into this ceramic platewear
and serving dishes and bought way too much.

There was a cigar shop right next door to the ceramic
store that had my name.
-with an extra s, but who cares.


My hubby dowing my Coca-cola Light because
I wanted to go shopping more.

There was a tour bus with a bunch of elderly
people on it, and we asked a guy to take a pic of us
but he looked through the hole in the camera instead
of the screen and accidently got his finger in the pic.
Old people crack me up with how they do things. lol!!!!


Here is the municipal building for San Jose. It was so
beautiful inside.



The trip was such a blast and we can't wait to go
again!!!

Okay, okay, okay. I get the laziest blogger award. But really in my defense nothing
exciting has happened. We are going to Cabo next Saturday though. When
I get home there will be plenty of blog worthy material to post. So I will make sure I post it.


Brandon went to Pennsylvannia at the beginning of the month to drive back home with his friend Sam who was home visiting family over the holidays. It was suppose to be a few day trip, but due to freezing rain back east, it took them a week to get home.


Then he ventured to Vegas for a national construction convention for his job.




This is their pool at the hotel.

He climed up onto some statue and is hanging onto
the goat of the guy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Halloween was so much fun this year. We dressed up the dogs and went to Park City for the Howl-o-Ween walk. Brutus was the Joker from the new Batman movie, his friend Ziggi, was Batman, and Miss My-My was a princess. I wanted her to be catwoman, but I couldn't find a costume for her. They had a blast though and got a ton of comments. We had people asking us if they could take pics and video of our dogs.

The pups all dressed up and ready to strut their stuff

He actually wore the hair all night. We were impressed.

My-My with her booties still on. They didn't last

to long

Awe Zig is so cute!!

And after they struted their stuff they were all tuckered out.

mY FiRsT TrIatHaLoN!!

Myself, Chrissy, her sis Tammy, Tammy's husband Mike, and their cousin Angie all competed in the Orem Triathalon. It was actually a lot of fun. Tami and Mike(my in-laws) came down from Idaho to see me compete in it; as well as my brother Jimmy. Thanks to everyone for their support in helping me accomplish one of my goals.

Tammy, Me, Chrissy, and Angie

I thought the swimming was going to be the hardest

part but it ended up being the easiest.

It was quite interesting trying to get dressed

after swimming, my arms were all jello-y

The next triathalon I do, I'm not going to ride a

mountain bike that hadn't been tuned up in years.

My awesome brother pushed

me through the last few hundered feet.

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!

Jimmy, me, and my dad

Thanks again to everyone who came out and

supported us!!!!!!

EPPICH FAMILY REUNION!!!!

Brandon's family reunion this year was so much fun. His family owns two cabins on the lake front of Preist Lake, which is at the top of Idaho. I got to meet a lot of the family that I had just heard about from time to time, so it was nice to be able to put faces to names. We had a great time while we were up there. We were able to go boating, play in the water (interesting story), play board and card games, have a sacrament, talent show, and eat A LOT!!!

Brandon's cousin Keldon and his wife Melanie
Mel and I went on a couple 9 milers, it was fun.

Grandpa Eppich and Anita

Tia - Keldon's sis- in the middle

Brandon dipping Issac into the water

Holly - my sis in law- had the best idea to bring up nerf guns.

The kids had such a blast with them.

Brandon with one of the babes

Okay so before the next pic, I need to tell ya'll what happened.

So me, being me, suggested that Holly, Tia, and I dive off the

dock into the water all at the same time. I didn't bother to have

the thought of the water might be shallow.

So I dove in, hit the bottom of the lake, scratched my face and chest

all up, and am lucky I didn't break my neck; as I was lectured by

my entire family. It really wasn't so bad. Nothing scarred or anything,

just a slight headache and a swelled face. Enjoy

Yeah, my bad. lol.

So at the talent show, Kel sang, because he has

an awesome voice. I'm not quite sure why Brandon

was up there instead of Melanie, but it was hilarious.

Me, Momma-in-law, and Brandon

All the kids, grandkids, and Wayne and Anita

Me, Brandon, Tami, Ryan, Issac, Ella, and Holly

It was so much fun. I hope we get to do it next year again.
