Vegas and such

Dr Swenson took the office to Las Vegas for a Mercer training/seminar/conference. It was really fun to go, even though the days were a little long sitting in the meetings.
I didn't take many pictures while we were there, but got a few pictures
Our conference was at the Venetian, and it was a really fun place to be
Mandy, me, Denise, and Megan with The Blue Man Group
The Bellagio never gets old.
Anyone who has been around me knows my camera is AWFUL. Since Brett NEVER looks at our blog (I don't think he knows the address to get on), someone needs to mention next time they see him that I am due for a new camera. My picture quality is horrible!

We had an interesting thing happen recently. Last fall we saw our neighbors dog (well they live a few miles away), and wanted to breed Brian to her, but she disappeared and her owners thought coyotes got her.
Well they found her and brought her over to our house so we could get puppies. Brian is 1/2 jack russsell, 1/2 blue heeler. This female is a jack russell. So hopefully in about two months we will have little puppies. Our "breed fee" is that we get first picks. Everyone wants a little Brian dog, so let us know and we'll reserve one for you!

Relaxing after ummmm, a rather long day

Camping at the Sand Dunes

We went camping with my family over the weekend by the sand dunes/Cherry Creek and had a great time. EVERYONE was ready to get out of the house now the weather is getting better. It was a great weekend with good weather.

Southern Utah

Last weekend I went with some friends to St George. We had a great time and I want to say thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Marx (Brett's grandparents) for letting us stay at their place .

Us at lunch at the Ledges Golf Course.


Me and Stef at Walmart. I love St Patricks Day! Its about the only holiday that doesn't have meaning or seriousness about it and seems to be about nothing


While in St George we hung out at a house that was the nicest house ever. I had never been in a "smart house" that had buttons and electronics instead of light switches


We also went to Zions for a day and went on a fun hike. I had never been there before and definitely want to go back.
These are all pictures of our hike
