Stuart Falls and Spring Ducklings

Cute little Sienna. She was a trooper.



A few of us went to Stuart falls tonight where we ended up reenacting Man from Snowy River and hiked through snow to get to the Waterfalls. Me thinking it was summer went prepared for a nice summer hike in shorts and a t-shirt. Not expecting what I'd find. It wasn't too bad though once we started hiking. I have to say Stuart falls is much prettier in the summer but it was still a nice little hike through the mountains....and snow. Also I went outside of our condo the other day and this hen duck had 7 little ducklings. They were the cutest little things. Sad thing is I only saw them this one day. I guess there is always next year.

Purchase or no purchase?

I love the detail you can see in this pictureDucksPrezley watching the ducks

This dog was so funny. Everytime his owner would call him over he would turn his back towards me because she said he hates having his picture taken.



Prezley doesn't walk anywhere, he sprints!

Story of Prezley's life, being pinned in the bushes by bigger dogs



I really want a professional camera, it's just a matter of convincing Nick that he really wants one too. My sister let me borrow her camera to see how I like it. Prezley was my lucky subject to be photographed which when the object you are trying to photograph is constantly moving it becomes a little difficult but here are some of the shots that I got.

Vegas, Phantom and Taylor Swift's mom?

This past weekend Nick and I went to Vegas to see Phantom of the Opera for my birthday. Which was an excellent Broadway. Even though I couldn't understand what they were saying most of the time I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The night before the show we were waiting for country singers to come out because it was the CMA's in Vegas last weekend. Well we saw a few. Chuck Wick who I didn't know at the time but is still attractive none the less. We also saw Bucky from American Idol and last but not least Taylor Swift......'s mom. Not Taylor Swift, her mom. That was still very exciting for Nick. We ran up to her and had a nice convo with her while we walked her to her taxi. She talked about how it makes her mad Scalpers get her tickets and she talked about how Taylor gets bombarded in the meat department at grocery stores in her home town and I asked if she wears those big sun glasses and she said there isn't a need to because she worked so hard to get her name known there is no sense is trying to cover her up. Well said Taylor's mom. I also told her to excuse my husband and she said it's ok, he is just enthusiastic which she loves and that she isn't worried. She was a very nice lady. I proceeded to tell her that she is a cool mom and Nick gave me a little smile and after told me I was becoming a true Killpack. I could only avoid it for so long. :) kidding. All in all it was a great weekend and I was sad to come home.

Poor Prezley

Since I don't have any children to blog about I am left with blogging about my dog. After Prezley was looking pretty mangy I decided to take him to the nearest Petco to have his first hair cut. Well second cut technically if you count the trim he got from my sister while she was watching him. Anyway I took him and was excited to see the results..... Poor little bugga came out with a hack job. Not a good look for him. I think next time I will cut it myself. Thank you Petco! Oh and all of Prezley's baby teeth are loose. Our little one is growing up so fast! :)

Nick, the sun, and icecream. What more do I need?

Nick and I went on a 7 day cruise this past week to the Southern Caribbean. We were lucky enough to accompany his work on an all expense paid for incentive cruise for the distributors at Young Living. We traveled to San Juan where we spent a night before our cruise departed the next day. We did many fun things while traveling to the different stops. One of which was my favorite was the stop in Dominica where we swam under this waterfall with freezing cold water and later sat in the hot springs. Second favorite had to be the zip line in Barbados. Other than that it was just hanging out on the beach and eating lots and lots of food. If I was on the ship any longer I would of had to of been rolled out. They had this delicious homemade ice cream that I can't even count how many times I consumed it. That may have been my favorite part of the trip.... well maybe a toss up between that and a drunken distributor hopping up on Nick, wrapping her legs around him ready for a go around. Hilarious! Just not for him. I think Nick enjoyed this cruise better than the last one but I think we are both cruised out for a while.

Day at the Spa

Gina, Nick's sister got us gift certificates to a spa in sugar house called Breathe for helping her out with painting her house. When we arrived we were given a mini tour then we were directed to the changing rooms where we had lockers personalized with our names on it. After changing into our robes and slippers we went and waited in the "Tea room" where we listened to relaxing music with a warm pack around our necks while munching on pretzels, cookies and these delicious creamy chocolates and sipped on warm apple cider. Following that we were lead into our massage rooms were we enjoyed an hour of a deep, total relaxation massage. It was amazing and a great way to just relax and forget about everything! It was also a great pre valentines celebration. Thank you Gina!!
