Aloha ~ Jordy and I are going to Hawaii over Thanksgiving week. I have been to Oahu and Maui but Jordy hasn’t been to any of the islands, so why not go! Although I feel like the eastern/southern Caribbean is much prettier, I am determined to prove myself wrong! We were planning on going to Kauai but decided to do a Hawaiian cruise that visits all of the islands. This cruise is so cool and is usually really expensive. Since I’m obsessed with planning vacations and shopping rates, I couldn’t pass up this amazing deal! Our cruise stops at the islands and docks where you can just walk off the boat and doesn’t leave for 2 full days/nights. This way we won’t feel rushed and can explore and relax all day and night. After our cruise, we are spending a few nights on the North Shore of Oahu.
Okay… this is where I would love your help… Does anyone have any suggestion(s) on what the “must see’s and do’s” are in Oahu, Maui, Hilo, Kona and Kauai? We only have 2 days and I don’t want to miss anything that we must see. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Mahalo!!

Happy Anniversary!
I’m now back to the wonderful world of blogging! Jordy and I have had a nice and low key summer. We have spent some time up at my family’s cabin, went to Moon Lake with Jordy’s family, attended some amazing concerts and have chilled with our best friends and family.
Jordy took a guys trip to D.C. this summer to visit Tolley. While Jordy was there, he bought an American flag and is having it hung at the Capital on our Anniversary. It will be mailed to us after. I thought that was a cool surprise and so neat that you can do that!
I wanted to wish my Jordy a very Happy Anniversary! We have been married for three years on Sunday. The best three years of my life!!! I’m so blessed and grateful to have found my eternal companion and someone who makes me laugh everyday! I love you babe!
Jordy and I are headed up to Hotel Park City this weekend to celebrate. I have never stayed there and have heard great things about it. We love being in the mountains, especially during this time of year! I’m so excited to eat at one of our favorite places (Ruth Chris) and relax this weekend with my sexy hubby!

Girl's trip ~ Vegas style!
A few weekends ago, a group of us crazy girls decided to hit up Vegas. Boy… did we ever!!! We stayed in the beautiful Bellagio which I must say was very impressive! We spent our mornings and days sleeping in and chillin’ at the pool. It was very relaxing and the weather was perfect! Friday night we had tickets to see the amazing “0”. Rach was not feeling very well on Friday and after a few minutes into the show, she collapsed. It was so scary as she is 5-6 months pregnant. She was taken away in an ambulance and had to stay the night in the hospital. Thankfully, Rach and her baby boy (wanted to be surprised on the sex of the baby but the nurse blew it) are doing much better and she was able to play with us for the rest of the weekend!
We were definitely night owls in “Sin City”…staying up till almost 5-6am all three nights. We were having so much that we didn’t even realize what time it was! I must say that Linds and Lacey had quite the lady luck while hitting up the casino. I took advantage of Lindsay’s luck and had her play for me. She won me enough cash to buy the swim suit that I have been wanting for a long time. I was soooo excited! Thanks Linds!! Lacey would just sit down at a machine and hit jackpot, it was amazing!
The Rock Star award goes to Lindsay and Rachel!! Lindsay is pregnant with twins and you would have no idea with the way she was playing with us. Rach who had a horrible night **big frown** on Friday, pulled through and stayed on the trip with us. Our weekend wouldn’t have been the same without both of these beauty queens!
Our girl’s weekend was such a blast! We had so many great talks and laughs! I didn’t want it to come to an end! Thanks ladies for one heck of a weekend! Love you all!!!
The pool babes!
Love the water shows...
Nat with her beautiful Lac Lac!
Sugar cookies with lots of frosting is my most favorite dessert, so this cookie screamed my name! The cookie monster came out in me... I will just leave it at that! Ha ha!
Sexy sunglass babes! I love this picture!
We were able to catch the second half and it was AMAZING!!!
Linds, Kira and Lac got a little crazy in the Oxygen Bar.
Our favorite swimsuit store... Heath, yours is still waiting for you.

A great week...
I was able to meet Makayla Kathleen Jenkins! Ash had Makayla on May 31st and she is such a stunning baby! She is already smiling and has such a darling personality! Her skin is flawless! Ashlie is such a great mommy and I am so excited and happy for her!
I found out that my Heddy (Heather Warner) is having a baby boy! Congrats to Heddy and Jeff!
My little bro Cole graduated from Jordan High School! We are so proud of you and love you very much! Go Beetdiggers!
Jordy and I watched our darling nephews while BJ and Nicole celebrated their 5 year Anniversary. We met up with Jenny and James and went to dinner and headed to Boondocks. We all had a blast (even though I did get soaking wet on the bumper boats)!
Bennett waving (his newest thing) to the boys racing cars
A group of us went to see Josh Gracin on Saturday night. It was such a great concert. My favorite song was “Unbelievable”. Oh baby! After he concert, we went to see The Hangover! It was hillarious!

Monica's got all her sista's with her...
This past weekend some of my family and friends went and did the Race for the Cure! We did this in honor of my sweet Monica Bruin! Monica has been like a second mom to me growing up. She lives next door to my parents and is basically a member of our family. Monica has battled breast cancer twice and it has now returned to different places in her body. She has been and continues to be such a fighter. She has also kept such a positive attitude through this trial in her life. Words can’t describe how amazing Monica is and how much I adore and love her!
Me, Monica and Brooke
Boo Boo, Mama Bear, Kenzie and me
Monica cheering and singing "We Are Family..."! Wahoo!!!
My good friend Chaundra came and joined us.
There were over 20,000 peeps there…
Monica and Kenzie at lunch after the race.
We LOVE you Monice and can't wait for next year!!!

Make it a freakshow, freakshow... We can give 'em a peep peep show!!!
WOW!! What a night! We have been counting down the days as you are aware and it finally came and sadly passed. We started off the night with a delicious dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. After dinner we made it to the Energy Solutions Arena very early to make sure that we didn’t miss anything and could people watch. It was hilarious seeing everyone just stop in their tracks seeing 5 hot blonds and one sexy brunette wearing the most FABULOUS shirts of the evening (I apologize if I have offended anyone). The concert kicked off with The Pussy Cat Dolls. They all looked great and we loved their hot outfits. The moment finally came when Britney graced us with her presence floating down in a circus cage. Her dancers were incredible and their costumes were amazing! There was not a moment that went by where she was not either performing, having crazy circus stunts, incredible dancing crews and great Britney highlight shows. Britney put on one heck of a show, very entertaining!!! I just had such a blast dancing with my girls!!! Thanks Jenny for driving and for the delicious car treats and Smart Cookies! I love my Britney B*&%$#@ sooooo much!!!!
The girls~ Meg, Nat, Jenny Wenny, Aly, Boo Boo and Kenzie

Girl fun!
Last weekend Heddy, Lac Lac and I went to Moab for a girl’s weekend! Heather’s cute dad Rick ran in the Moab ½ marathon and we were there to cheer him on. We of course had to stop by Smart Cookie on our way there. Jenny introduced me to this delicious cookie bakery located in American Fork and it’s been crazy how I just find myself there all of the time. There is a drug in their cookies and it’s very dangerous. He he…
Smart Cookie. Yummy!!
Heddy and her papa Rick
We had such an adventures weekend! We hiked to Delicate Arch, 4 wheeled like crazy women on all of the off roads and went to Dead Horse Point. We also had delicious dinners and all snuggled up to watch movies and had yummy treats. We stayed in a three bedroom condo and found ourselves all sleeping in the master bedroom together. It was awesome!
Delicate Arch
Our rockin' FJ that kept us very safe all weekend. Thanks Brian!!!
Dead Horse Point. It was crazy windy all weekend!!!
Our sleeping and movie arrangement. Wahoo!!
I had such a great time spending time with some of my bestest friends. It reminded me of the good old days when we were all roomies and all of the hilarious and crazy nights that we had. Thank you so much for such a FABULOUS weekend! I love you both very much!!

Welcome to Paradise!!!
Tired of my beeper, tired of my phone
Tired of this tired old tie I got on
Sick of this traffic jam that I'm in,
We all get sick of it all now and then.
When I've had it up to here I go down there.
To guitars, tiki bars, and a whole lotta love!!!
Our Kenny boy just summed up the past week and a half for us! We just returned from the most amazing vacation! Last February, I decided that it’s best time to escape the snow and freezing cold and go to paradise. Well, one year later 10 of us found ourselves at the most beautiful beaches and places in the world. We had such a fun group! Jordy’s brother BJ and his gorgeous wife Nicole came. BJ invited one of his best buddies and his wife, Ryan and Kari and Nicole invited one of her best friends and her boy, Megan and Matt. Last but certainly not least, was Suzy and Ben. Poor Suzy and Ben got the stomach bug, but were still able to join us for most of the fun. It was so hard for me to only choose a few pictures so I have decided to take you through our amazing journey to paradise… I am going to apologize in advance for my extremely long post and pictures with lots of skin showing. I really tried to choose some pictures with the most skin NOT showing but its impossible when you have been living in your swimsuit for the past 11 days…
We went on a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Southern Caribbean. Our ship deported out of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Our 1st stop was in St. Thomas. Jordy’s buddies introduced us to St. Thomas few years ago and this is where we went on our honeymoon (Oh baby). So we knew exactly where we wanted to go and had it timed down to the minute to get a full days worth. We were one of the first peeps off the boat and the last ones back on. We rented our own boat with a captain to Virgin Gorda (a British Virgin Island) and went to The Baths. The Baths is a stellar natural attraction with exotic pools and grottos formed by giant boulders that are scattered across an amazing beach.
The Baths
Checking into customs at Tortola
Entering The Baths
Wahoo!! Sexy, sexy...
We stopped by St. John on our way back to St. Thomas so that we could check back into customs. We had to stop by Cinnamon Bay (another favorite beach of ours). Kenny Chesney and lots of other celebrities have a house right off of Cinnamon Bay. Kenny’s album Be As You Are is all about the Virgin Islands and one of our favorite albums to listen to. During our first trip to St. Thomas with Jordy’s buddies, we had his album on repeat and visited all of the places that he sang about. We are all now huge Kenny Chesney fans! Kenny and our trip to the islands is who and what converted Jordy to country music. Thanks Kenny baby!
Cinnamon Bay
Our 2nd stop was in St. Maarten. We rented 4-wheelers and explored the island. There is a Dutch and French side of this island. We first visited the Dutch side and wanted to check out their airport. Their airport is right next to a beach (or part of a beach I should say). The planes look like that are going to land in the water. They barley clear the cars and peoples heads as they land. The boys should have read the huge warning sign in front of them before being sand blasted as a jet was taking off (boys will be boys). I am actually grateful they didn’t because it was one of the many highlights of our trip. Seeing them being picked up off their feet, running out of their shoes, hearing Ryan scream like a girl and diving in the water with their clothes on from the huge wave of sand. We had to check out the French side so that we could check out the nude beaches that I have heard so much about. To my surprise, there were actually some nice twins and we did see some that we were warned about. Orient beach also had huge waves that we played in. It was so much fun and a work out trying to survive in the waves Ha!
Our "WARNING" sign
To give you an idea of how close the beach is to the airport
After Matt, Ryan and Jordy dove in the water
Our sexy men!
Ben and his little Dingo...
Our 3rd stop was in Antigua. We decided to sleep in this day and to make it more of a relaxing day. After eating delicious pancakes (it was national Pancake Day), we went to a nice beach and chilled. The boys snorkeled and the girls relaxed. Antigua was pretty but not our favorite stop.
Nicole and BJ
BJ found a huge conch shell
Our 4th day was in gorgeous St. Lucia. St. Lucia is a giant rain forest and is so lush and green. They are famous for their bananas and are super delicious (along with their rum punch)! Ha ha! We went and saw their rain forest, gorgeous botanical garden, waterfall, active volcano (stinky), Pitons (2 huge volcanic mountains), and beaches. It was raining on us but felt so good. We missed Suzy and Ben this day due to their stomach flu.
The Pitons
Jordy and Nat overlooking the Pitons
The volcano reeked of sulfur. It was still very cool!
BJ and Nicole
Our 5th stop was in Barbados! This was my second favorite stop (St. Thomas being my first). Barbados is stunning! We took a glass bottom boat to a turtle bay and swam with turtles. Yes, I made it in the water and didn’t have a panic attack like I did with sting rays on our last cruise. Swimming with the turtles was such a cool experience! They were friendly and you were allowed to touch them. After swimming, we hit up a beach called The Boatyard. We seriously felt like we were on a MTV Spring Break beach. It was packed and had great dancing music playing, ropes swings and water trampolines. We could easily spend a week in Barbados. Next time I’m there, I’m going to Crane Beach (highly recommended by Dave & Jamie) baby!
Jordy meeting his new friend
BJ getting ready for a graceful dive... yeah right! ;-)
Ohhh!! Cute brothers!
Our last day on the cruise was a day at sea. It was a very nice and relaxing day. Below are some fun pictures from our delicious dinners and gorgeous sunsets. During our formal nights, the boat provides photographers that take cheesy prom-like pictures. Check out Ben and Suzy’s prom pictures…
Ding and Dong drinking our delicious Miami Vices (half pina/half strawberry)
Ryan and Kari dancin' the night away..
Our group!
Ben was born to model!
The captain of our ship opened the helicopter pad located at the very front of the ship. We were enjoying the sunset and noticed a school of dolphins swimming with our boat. We have a sweet video clip. I will add it to our blog soon. We of course had to have a Titanic moment too…
I would absolutely recommend this cruise to anyone. The service and entertainment was fantastic and our boat was gorgeous!
A week later, it was bye bye to Suzy and Ben (SAD!) and hello to Puerto Rico (we deicide to stay a few extra days in PR since we were already there). We stayed at the La Concha Resort (A Renaissance Hotel). This resort was unbelievable! It is brand new and is decorated very cool and modern (so up my alley). We found out quickly that it is the place to be in PR. We were chillin’ on the beach with Deion Sanders, “Packman” Jones (scary), T.O. (Terrell Owens) and many other Dallas Cowboys. Deion Sanders so was so cool and nice! It was so entertaining seeing all of their hussy and plastic girls they were with. We saw more twins flashed in the lobby of the hotel than we did on a nude beach. There were not many compliments made! Ha ha!
One of the hotel pools
Hanging out in the lounge in our hotel. Again, obsessed with the decorating...
We went to Culebra (an island right by PR) and went to a very pretty beach. Culebra is known for amazing snorkeling and everyone that went loved it. The next day we went to see one of their famous forts. We found it very fascinating and so historic and had to eat and shop in Old San Juan too.
Ryan being oh so sexy on the beach!
We almost had to camp on a beach in Culebra. Our tour boat oversold going back to PR. Luckily the captain was in a good mood and came back for us. Yahoo!
El Morro Fort
Old San Juan ~ I loved their houses and streets
Our favorite thing that we did in Puerto Rico was the Bioluminescent Bay. We did a kayak tour through Red Mangrove trees and entered a large bay, all under the moonlight. In this bay there are light emitting dinoflagellates that glow when anything touches the water. The mysterious blue-green light is crated by micro-organisms. Fish flash by in dark water (scary fish), and putting your arm in the water is like floating through stardust. It was such a magical experience and so worth all of the mosquito bites. I wish we had a picture of the glowing water. We didn’t have the right kind of camera to catch the light. I guess you need to see it for yourself!
Cruzin' through the Mangrove trees
Puerto Rico was awesome! Thank you SOOO much BJ and Nicole for the hotel and for being our roomies (and especially putting up with my fan noise while sleeping). We love you guys and we’re so proud of you doing so well away from your babies. We so missed some of you that we’re going to come and will need to plan another trip. You were definitely in our thoughts! A HUGE thanks to our amazing crew! Thank you so much for the best vacation ever! Smooches to all of you!! Now back to the real world…

Happy Birthday Jenny Wenny!!!
Today is my Jenny Wenny’s Birthday! Jenny has been one of my best friends since we met in Mrs. Fisher’s English class in 7th grade. I seriously couldn’t ask for a better friend! She is such a blast to be around and always has you laughing. Jenny is always thinking of others too! I can’t even tell you how many times I have had a surprise left for me. Wither it was a note wishing me good luck before a dance performance with my favorite treat or her delivering delicious sugar cookies to my work or her bringing me Jamba Juice when I’m not feeling well, she has a heart of gold! I could go on and on as all of her friends could! Jenny, I hope that you have the best birthday ever and your Natty Patty loves you very, very much!!!!

CES
Every year Control4 (my work) attends CES (Consumer Electronic Show) in Vegas. It is such a busy and great week for our company. Kenzie (my little sis) is a part-time receptionist at Control4 and she attends some of our trade shows with us. We are all about booth babes! Ha! Jordy and Corey also came down for the weekend. It was a blast to have all of them there. Below are some pictures of our fun, crazy and busy week…
Umm…. Yes, the Adult Entertainment Expo was the same week as CES. It was very entertaining watching the peeps attending the show, I won’t say anymore… Ha!
This is my wonderful boss Glen with all of his "blonds" (as he likes to call us), including his darling wife Elizabeth.
The next time you are in Vegas and want to escape the Strip, you ABSOLUTELY need to go to Lindo Michoacan for dinner. The food is excellent and very fresh. They also have the cutest Mariachi Band!
Christi (our amazing event coordinator and my girlie) planned such a fun night at PURE in Caesars Palace. She was able to get us a VIP suite and we had some of our top dealers attend. Kenzie just turned 21 and we had to show her what a real club was all about. They played the best music and we danced the night away. My ears are still ringing…
Jordy and I couldn’t have a complete Vegas trip with out eating at the Pink Taco located in the Hard Rock Hotel. It is also a Mexican restaurant and the food is YUMMY! We went with some of Corey’s friends and JJ and Makayla (the most darling couple and work buddies).
After dinner, we went to see Le Reve located in the Wynn. It was such an incredible show. I would highly recommend it!
It was such a fun week, but I am glad to be back home and to sleep in my own bed. Ahhh!
Umm…. Yes, the Adult Entertainment Expo was the same week as CES. It was very entertaining watching the peeps attending the show, I won’t say anymore… Ha!
This is my wonderful boss Glen with all of his "blonds" (as he likes to call us), including his darling wife Elizabeth.
