Alpine Slides

Last weekend I went with my mom and Grandma to the Alpine Slides up in Park City while Chris was studying for the GMAT. We had a lot of fun going down the slides and the coaster. They had this zip line that Grandma really wanted to go on, but the line was too long so we decided not to. Hopefully we will have a chance to go before we move!

At the Alpine Slides there are two different slides and they tell you when you can begin the slide so that they can space everyone out (kind of like a water slide). My mom and I went down the slide at the same time because we were on adjacent slides, and my Grandma was on the slide right behind me. When my mom and I got to the bottom we were worried because we couldn't see Grandma anywhere up the hill. Then they guy behind mom came down and we asked him if he'd seen a grey-haired lady and he replied "yeah, but she's probably going to be a while". We thought this was pretty hilarious, and it was even funnier when we finally saw Grandma slowly coming down the hill with 3 people right behind her! But we were still proud of her because what other 86 year old would even go on the slide in the first place? Plus, according to Grandma she was going a lot faster than she used to, so at least it was an improvement. :)

We also went down this new ride they have called the Coaster, which winds down the mountain. It was a more similar to a roller coaster then the Alpine Slide because it goes a lot faster and the track is like a roller coaster, except you can still choose your own speed. I loved it!

We rode on ski lifts going up the mountain. Mom and Grandma started making fun of me because I started was a little nervous that we were going to fall off.





Tim McGraw

Last weekend I found super cheap tickets to Tim McGraw on Craig's List the day before the concert. Since my mom was in town, she came with Chris and me. I was really excited because I love Tim McGraw! It kind of sucked because we had lawn seats and a couple of giants decided to stand right in front of us, so at times it was a little hard to see. But overall, it was a great concert and I had a lot of fun.









Thanks for coming with us mom! You are the best!

Viva Las Vegas!

We went to Vegas for Memorial Day weekend. It was a nice little getaway. Fortunately the weather was really nice too...not to hot, which is shocking for Vegas in May. Here are a few pics:

We did a lot of shopping in Vegas...actually mostly window shopping since we are poor haha. For some reason Chris thought we needed a pic to prove that I went shopping (as if anyone would doubt that I went shopping! ha!).

Pic of Chris on the strip.

We went and saw the lions at the MGM Grand. They were cool, but I was bored after about 5 minutes.

The best part of Vegas was going to see Mamma Mia! It was hilarious. We were really glad we went because it was such a unique experience. I definately recommend seeing it if you haven't already. Have I mentioned yet that my husband is a weirdo? haha.

We spun this wheel at the Monte Carlo and won $35 worth of free play. Since we couldn't cash it in and could only use it on the slot machines, we spent about 5 minutes blowing through the $35 and earning a total of...4 whole dollars!!! Oh well, at least that was $4 more to go towards my shopping budget haha. The whole experience really destroyed any miniscule desire I had to use the slot machines.

Julie's Wedding

Julie got married at the beginning of this month (sorry I've been slacking on the posts). She got married here in Utah, which we were excited about. Her husband's name is Eli and they seem really happy together. I loveee weddings because I love junk food, cake, dressing up, and dancing...how can it get any better than that? haha. Here are a few pics:

Meygen and Cory on the ride home from the reception...interesting haha.

Meygs and Cory...ADORABLE. After Julie's reception Cory proposed to Meygen. They are getting married July 23rd in SLC. I am really excited for them.

Trish and her new fiance Keith (aka Keithers). Aren't they cute?

Meygen, me, and Trish! It was great, like a little high school reunion hehe.



Me and the bride :)





Our New Niece

A couple of weeks ago (on the 15th)our newest niece was born to Chris' brother Greg and his wife Jenny. They named her Lindsey Corrine. She was 7 lbs 7 ounces and 21 inches long. She is super cute! She is the first baby born to the Lee side of the family so everyone is really excited. Greg and Jenny live in Wisconsin right now so we haven't seen the baby yet. They are moving out to Utah soon, but unfortunately they are moving here right after we move to OK so we will miss them. Here are a few pics:

Chris' Graduation

Christopher graduated on Thursday and Friday. His graduation was a little long but I was really excited for him. Chris beat me by graduating in 2 and 1/2 years! Maybe he will finish law school in 2 years haha...that's wishful thinking.














Chris with some school friends.

Rascal Flatts

Here are a couple of pics from the Rascal Flatts concert. We didn't get very many good pics because we had the WORST SEATS EVER, but it was still an awesome concert.
