Transformers

So I, Nikki, went to see Transformers opening night. Randy was up in Salt Lake and I really wanted to see it so I ask my mother to come with me. She was like "a midnight movie?" Anyways, she came with me. We really liked it. It's action packed and funny and all. Here is a picture of the Optimus Prim they had outside the theaters doors.


So finally after the two and a half hour movie, I had to pee so bad. I was worried I wasn't going to make it to the restroom. But I did. I came out to see my mom waiting to get more popcorn but they had already cleaned things up so we just started to walk out the theater and go home. Well, my brother-in-law and his wife came to the movies too and so I was like, "Oh, I wonder if their behind us?" So, I looked back and didn't see them but then I saw this guy and I thought, " Weird, that guy looks like Randy." So I took another look and then had to take another double take after that. And, OH MY GOODNESS, BY GOLLY. It was Randy. He totally got done with work and 9pm and drove all the way home from way up North and drove straight to the theater and waited a whole 30 minutes for us to get out of the theater. I was so shocked and all night I kept saying, "I can't believe you came home." I kept hitting him for not telling me and then hugging him because I was so excited and I missed him. ( To explain, i've been sick, stuck at home so it was a boring day without him and not being able to talk to him because he was so busy with a "big job."

And then ALL of a SUDDEN it hits me.............I DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH NOW!!!! NOR DID I HAVE TO WAKE UP EXTRA EARLY IN THE MORNING AND WATER THE GARDEN!!!

That was when I got even more excited. My mother, who stays at our house on the weekdays, said , " I'm gonnna plug my ears tonight!" Lol. Oh man, I was just so excited to see him. Ha. I can't believe he didnt tell me. Ha. The funny part is that I heard like an engine and I asked him, "Oh, are you still driving to your room?" and he said, "No!" So I thought he was just outside talking to me and cars were driving by. Ha. How dumb am I? Then he called me back and I asked him how much more work he had to do tomorrow and if they were going to make it home and he said all these big construction words that probably made no sense to what he was doing but I wouldn't know any different and he said, " Oh, well it's really complicated and very hard to explain." HAHAHAHA.

Anyways, It was just so awesome. I love him so much and I was so happy to have him come home. He worked so hard to get done and then drove all the way home just to be with me and cuddle with me. I am so grateful to have him. :):):D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Gardening....Zion's....Bread Making

Okay. I know that after we haven't posted for a while, I get on and finally say, Hey guys, I'm sorry.....But I really am. HAHA

I have reason this time. (I'm sure I've used that excuse before too.) But. Look. Randy and I have built a garden. Well, Randy built it but I planted everything, (except one little brocolli that Randy planted, that I thought was a weed and pulled it out!)Sorry love!. Anyways. We are having so much fun with it. These pictures are only one side of the garden. We still have another side to build and we need to get started on it. But here is a list of some of the things we have growing.

Veggies:
- Brocolli
- Green Onions
- Sugar Snaps
- Cucumbers
- Pickled Cucumbers
- Garlic
- Tomatoes
- Bell Peppers
- Jalapenos
- Onions
- Carrots

Herbs:
- Lavendar
- Thyme
- Mint
- Basil
- Rosemary
- Cilantro
- Sage
- Parsley

Who knows what we are going to put in the other side. Already what we have planted is so much for just two people. Ha. Oh well, those of you who live near us will definately recieve some goodies. :P Here are some pics.









Beautiful, isnt it? Randy is amazing and he did a very good job in building this. I am so proud of him. He is such a good worker. If you want any tips of gardening let us know. This new method that we are doing is so amazing our garlic starting growing less than a week after we planted it and now look at it. ( It's one of the close up pictures.) Anyways I know I mentioned that I had to weed but I rarely have to. We made our own soil and It's really awesome. Anyways, if you guys want any tips let us know. This is the greatest method and it's so amazing how well it works.

On Saturday, we went up to Zion's National Park. It is amazing how close we are to such a popular place. My father-in-law is probably the most embarrasing person in the whole entire world. Almost every person that was walking by, he was guessing where they came from. I know it sounds silly! Lol. Anyways, I was just amazing and how people come from all over the world to enjoy these National Parks and we just said Saturday morning, Hey, Let's go to Zion's today. It's insane. Here are some pics.









One last thing, my mother-in-law is the best home-making, do-it-yourself fabulous lady. She is really big on the gardening and has taught Randy and I what we now know and she is big on bread making and all those kinds of things. So I asked her yesterday to give me her bread receipe and to teach me. So she did. and Last night Randy and I made pretzels. They were really good except that I cooked them too long so they were a little hard. But hey, it was my first time. Last night we also noticed that the house on the culdasac that's kinda like behind us (because we live on the corner of a somewhat busy street and a culdasac.) and it was really late so I didn't want to walk over and welcome them. So this morning, I called my sister Christy over to make bread with me with my mother-in-law receipe and we had lots of fun. Caleb and Natalie love our dog, Jizzo. It's funny to hear the things Caleb says to Jizzo and to us about Jizzo. We made two loaves of bread and I was going to eat one and then give one to Christy but then I saw the new neighbors moving in their things. So I wrapped up a loaf and walked it down to them and welcomed them into the neighborhood and told them that if they needed anything at all to let us know. I told them and Randy is a good handyman so if she needed anything he would love to come help. ( Oh, it's a single mom and her two kids.)Then on my way home I saw the little old lady's house that lives behind us and I thought, " Ya know we haven't seen us in a while so maybe I'll take the other loaf to her. So I did and we talked for a bit. With the other dough, I made pull apart cake. That didn't work out so well because my dough balls were too large. But It's okay. I'll work on it and next time will be better. :)

So that is what's new with us. We love to do things together and this garden has been a huge blessing in our lives. It has brought us closer together and we have had so much fun doing it.
