Summer Fun!

So sorry to all of you good bloggers that have something for all of us to read on a daily basis, my blog has sat neglected for some time and if you cared, an update has not come for awhile! This summer has seemed to absolutely fly by! With the humidity at present though, I will gladly say goodbye to the weather! So I guess I am going to update on a couple of things... The 24th of July for starters. We headed up the mountain and had a great time with all the family (minus Dallas...) but it was great to relax and escape the city for awhile! I think we relaxed so much that we didn't go to alot of the festivites... We did make it to the parade and program though which were both awesome.
Oh cute nephews, the good music lulled them all to sleep at the program... It was hilarious because Carson fell asleep and then five minutes later Treyson went, and then a few minutes later Westyn was out! Cute kids, that's what happens when you make them sit still for a few minutes I guess!While we had any bored moments, Dad always came through for entertaining us, this time by squirting water in Trevyn's mouth. He would open his mouth and my dad would squirt and then he would swallow and open his mouth again for another sip! Such a funny baby...Watch out for Jen and her taquito! And just a side note, we can never get Tyler to have a normal face at picture time!The kids got to ride the firetruck with Grandpa, but got off where we were, lucky kids to have a Grandpa with a cool firetruck to ride!I think this was the highlight of the 24th, it was the coolest float ever!Just the two of us! In about a week I will have been married to this man for a year! Yippee! He survived a year with me!

I am an uncoordinated dweeb...

So, I promise the Foy family is around somewhere! I have been really bad about blogging and I will get to posting about stuff like the 24th, but its late and for now I am just gonna tell you this story that I will never live down...

So the other night, we were watching Will Ferrell's best of SNL and the skit came on from "Night at the Roxbury"... so of course we both started head bobbing in a dorky fashion! Well, to my dismay, unfortunately I have always been a little uncoordinated and my head bob looked more like a seizure or me trying to bite my ear... So we decide its time for bed and I go in the bathroom to brush my teeth, AND.. I decide I am going to give this head bob thing another try... So I'm lookin in the mirror and I get about three head bobs in when Jaron walks around the corner! Why does that have to happen? I will now never live this down, I still looked like a retard so of course Jaron laughed his head off at the poor uncoordinated dweeb...

Happenings..

Well we have had a fun couple of weeks with lots of fun going on! Memorial Weekend Jaron, Kelsey and I all headed up to Utah for a family reunion... Although we got caught behind like a mazillion RV's the trip was way fun! We rode 4-wheelers, played a lot of mean games of NERTZ (our new favorite card game, freakin awesome!), toured Bryce Canyon, and of course had a grand ole reunion!
Above: Cute husband!

The twinner sisters that aren't twins.

Oh Tyler, will we ever get you to take a serious picture?

Quite possibly the cutest baby ever! (Em's youngest, Trevyn)

Need I say more? This is my favorite picture of the weekend!

Followed up by this one... My Uncle Danny would kill me if he knew I put this on here! Either there was something else in that Diet Coke that he didn't know about or there was too much family in too little of a space that he couldn't handle, or he just wanted us to be entertained by the snoring! hee hee Love ya Danny!

I love this Grandpa, He's the best!

And I love this Grandma! She made my favorite Macaroni salad cause she knows if she doesn't there might be trouble... haha

Do you like all my commentary? I have noticed thats what I do lately is put a lot of pics on here and then put little blurbs, sorry if thats annoying..

Estrogen heaven... poor dad...

We decided to go tour Bryce Canyon (along with a ton of tourists) we have always gone there to visit family and we have never actually gone into the canyon to see it all, very beautiful place, and best of all Kelsey worked there a summer or two ago, so she was our cute little tour guide!

We had a great time in Utah, its always great to get away and hang out with the fam, Thanks em for the great accomodations (sorry if we used too much t.p.!)

So this last week was my 24th b-day, I actually had to work that day so Jaron surprised me with these amazing flowers, it was awesome! He got me the shelves from Ikea that I wanted as pictured below. He also let me go shopping so I got to buy some clothes and shoes, he took me out to a sweet dinner at Z-Tejas... delicious.. and to top it all off we went and bought a Wii! I'm spoiled! Thanks to everyone for the calls and texts, love ya!

All grown up!

Jaron turned the big 2-5! I'm a little late in posting cause his birthday was May 3rd but better late than never! WE decided to go to St. Johns for the weekend to relax for Jaron's birthday.

This is us in front of our cute little apartment!We had a barbeque at my grandma's house for Jaron, we had some delicious food and this is Jaron's scrumptious cake I made for him... It's funfetti which is his favorite, we actually had it for our wedding cake too!My Grandma has been cleaning out some closets and found this old scrapbook from when she was really young, we had some good laughs at some of the stuff in there, it was awesome to go through and see a little of her growing up years!Jaron with Carleen's new dog, Annie Johannie! She is so cute and loves everybody, I love the look on her face, that must have been a good tummy rub! I also love that she blends in with the carpet.Jaron with all of his presents... He got clothes, shoes, movies, a new power drill, money and cards. Spoiled!
My mom and Jaron and I decided to take a trip to the Snowflake temple so we woke up early and went through, it was cool to be able to go through after the temple had been dedicated especially since I was able to be there for the open house a few years ago... Props to my mom for making it too! The night before we went she realized her recommend had expired and went through quite an ordeal and ended up with a very sore rib trying to renew it! (i'll leave out the details or she might kill me!) And excuse our faces in that picture, maybe the sun was in our eyes or something? Jaron got to relax the weekend away playing video games and reading his favorite book of the moment. He loves World War II history, he always tells me he should have been born so he could fight in that war, I beg to differ...And yes, the day we left it looked like this outside... In May... What the? So much for global warming...and in case you couldn't see that first copy, i put a second one and I cant get it off!

Easter Weekend

For Eater this year Jaron's family came for a visit! We had a great time... we went shopping, got pedicures (just the girls!), went to South Mountain to see the city lights, went to the Easter pageant, and to end the weekend, went to the GRAND CANYON! These first pictures are obviously of our trip to the Grand Canyon. We stayed in Flagstaff and drove to the Grand Canyon and then went back to Flag to stay the night, it was the first time Jaron, Amber, and I had been (sad for me because I have lived in Arizona my whole life and have never been!) This first picture of Amber is my favorite! So funny... Help ME! :->

Amber was brave enough to go out on this ledge, it made for a great picture! The Grand Canyon doesn't even look real because it is so big!

Us at the Easter pageant... I'm lucky enough to get to sit next to this guy!

This is the view of the city from the top of South Mountain... Pretty cool!
I was freezing... if it gets below sixty I need a parka! I'm such a desert rat now!

It was so nice to get to play and have fun with Jaron's family, always good to catch up! My sister Jen is running in a marathon this next weekend so I just wanna give her a little shout out for good luck... Jen, you are better person than me, I would die after a 1/2 mile!

Fossils and the Foys!

The other day Jaron and I both had the day off and we were trying to think of fun things to do after we had finished our errands... I mentioned a museum or something we could walk around. Jaron liked the museum idea so we headed to the Arizona Museum of Natural History! It was fun, we walked around and saw the dinosaurs, they had Arizona history stuff, space history, and we even mined for gold! We came home with a sweet rock magnet and some postcards (are we nerdy or what!) Here's some pics...
This picture was my ingenious idea, but it probably would have been cooler if you couldn't see Jaron taking the picture... HA HA
I'll just give a little update on us while I'm at it... Jaron is very busy doubled up on classes at UOP but he is doing really well and should be done with his Bachelor's aroun October- November!
My new job is awesome! It's so nice to not be scared to go to work at the prison! I love the staff and the patient's... We lost two patient's recently which was pretty hard, I want them all living! I just hope in some small way I eased their transition from this life to the next. I am grateful for the knowledge I have of where they are going. Anyways, Life is good in the Foy Neighborhood!

L-O-V-E!

Valentine's Day was great this year! For our first one being married, it was very special! We woke up Sunday and made breakfast and then Jaron was antsy pantsy for his present... So I caved and let him open it. I got him cologne and candy and that grape soda pin from the movie "UP"(That is like the best movie ever, so that was my cute, sentimental gift to him!) Anyways, we went to church and I knew Jaron had been planning a little getaway but I didn't know where we were going. After church, we packed a bag and headed out the door... Jaron loves to surprise me! He got us a room at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort, it was really fun! We got to hang out together and we ordered pizza and had it delivered, a very nice break to spend time together and forget about all the busyness at home! Jaron also surprised me with about a six chapter book about how we would have met in the future if we weren't already married... seriously it was the funniest, cutest thing ever! I laughed and cried my way through, Jaron is a very talented writer and I was extremely impressed! I'm spoiled! I seriously love this guy more than anything.... He makes my heart happy!
In other news, for the last two months I have been working at the prison in Florence, lovely huh? It has been an interesting experience to say the least. Anyways, I interviewed for another position about two weeks ago and I got it! I will be the RN supervisor at a long term care and rehab center. I will be on the rehab floor and I am so excited! I feel like I have gotten a lot of different experience these last few months, but I am ready to settle in and work somewhere on a more long term basis. Life is good in this neighborhood!
