Powerade for life!


So I told Zach that I found Powerade on sale for 25 cents a bottle and he went nuts! We were on powerade outings for 3 days because everywhere was sold out! He made me call Smiths, Smith's Market Place and both Walmarts everyday to see if they got anymore in stock. So finally after going from store to store each day and searching for different flavors we ended up with a total of 128 bottles of freaking Powerade!!! It is a little excessive if you ask me but Zach thinks it's just the greatest thing to have one for work everyday and not have to buy pop or anything forever. I guess our spare bedroom comes in good use to store our Powerade. . .The picture does make me thirsty though :)

Ready or not- here we come!

So.. Zach and I recently got a calling together at church. We are going to be teaching our first primary class on Sunday. What age might you ask? The cute little 5 year olds! I hope they are all well-behaved, polite, cute, loving munchkins! Am I asking too much? Guess we will find out soon! We are so excited to be able to teach together, I think it will be a blast! But they told us they don't like teachers to bring treats anymore unless it really ties into the lesson..WHAT?! I always got treats in primary growing up. Plus I thought that would give us some major brownie points with the kids! Zach thinks we should somehow tie treats into every lesson haha. I just hope we can keep them occupied for the whole hour!

Feb-March update!

Well I guess it's time to update since it has been a month now. . .
  • First, it was my 20th birthday on Feb. 6th and that was really fun. I hung out with family and friends and of course went to dinner with my honey. My friend Kailani and I have the same birthday and our friend Saje's is the day after so we always get together for a good time! My friend Kassie's birthday was March 2nd and we all went to Texas Roadhouse-she had to saddle up and it was so funny! Even though I'm the only married one out of my close group of friends, we still hang out and have lots of fun-thanks girls!
  • A while ago Zach and I drove to St. George to watch my brother play baseball. It was so warm and now Zach thinks he wants to move there someday--sorry, it's too far from home :) I could barely tolerate the 6 hour drive! Greg's girlyfriend came with my brother and parents and we all had a fun time watching baseball, eating out, watching movies, and shopping! We went to Vegas one night and drove down the strip..it was..interesting to say the least. We also got to visit Zach's cousins Jared, Tia, and their little girl Sophie- she is a doll! Then we also visited Matt, Amber, their cutie Dylan, and the new baby Simone-what a darling baby! It was so nice to see them since we hardly ever get to!


Heaven on earth right here-We seriously went there everyday! Yeah-we're fatties!

Goin to the baseball game

Greggy and Meggy

  • Zach got a job at Walmart as a grocery stocker--but it was graveyard shift, from 10-6:30 in the morning! He only lasted 2 weeks haha and I'm so glad because I absolutely hated it! I hated going to bed by myself and hating him sleeping all day-it's like we were on 2 different planets! But I think he hated it more and didn't really like the idea of me being home alone every night. Thank goodness painting has picked up again and he will hopefully stay busy working for his brother now that it's getting warmer! Finally!

  • Last but not least, we found out that Grandpa Phipps has some type of cancer. :( They are still running tests but he had to have surgery to remove a tumor in his chest. So far he is doing well, I hope he conquers it and gets better soon! On a happier note- we went to see him before he had his surgery and they had him on some pain meds so he was a little loopy...he was saying the craziest things and called me Matilda!? Not sure where that came from but it sure was cute!

Well that's all for this month haha-Thanks for reading!
