Billy & Lexi

Established December 18, 2009

California!

We decided we really needed a vacation, it was pretty spur of the moment but I already got monday off for the fourth so we decided to take tuesday off too! We went down with our really good friends Sam and Shawnee.We left Friday night after Billy got off of work, and drove to Vegas slept for a couple hours and got up at what we thought was 5:30 but forgot about the time change so it was really 4:30. We just wanted to get to our lovely hotel extra early.....




speaking of our hotel... Now looking back it is pretty dang funny but at the time I was so nervous. So of course being poor, we booked the cheapest hotel we could find. Little did us neive newlyweds know we stayed in Inglewood, which is apparently a pretty bad area. And we had a quick reality check as soon as we pulled up to our hotel surrounded with brick walls and barbwire on the top, an electric gate to get into the parking lot and not one american in sight. Lets just say we stood out like a sore thumb! Billy goes to check in, and of course we are begging him to cancel. They wont let us so we decide to go up to our hotel room. We get in.... stains on the carpet, looks like it hadn't been vaccummed in weeks. Billy sits on the bed all we hear is eeee eeee eeee I thought it was going to break! But I was laughing so hard!Then we pull of the bedspread and their was a HUGE hairball. If that wasn't enough we pulled open the Curtains and we don't even have a real window.. Our window is like blinds that can open and shut and not just from the inside!!! That is when I really was really getting nervous. We tried everything to cancel! Its a long story but they were just not helpful and their were so many different nationalities. We go down to the front desk to see if there was anything they could do, and of course the answer was no. But while we are standing there, we see this sign about their rental cars and it says:

CAR RENTALS
International Drivers License------------Okay
Under Age Drivers---------------------Okay
Cash Only-----------------------------Okay

I start laughing so hard, I could not believe it! Under Age Drivers were okay. That is just proof of how unproffesional and trashy our hotel was. It was quite the adventure. Billy and Sam thought we were over exaggerating but I know they were a little nervous to stay their themselves, being little white boys.




After our lovely adventure at the hotel, we needed to get out. We decided we would check out LA and Hollywood.. Which was cool but a little different than everyone talks it up to be. I went a couple years ago with my friends and it seemed a lot better, maybe because we did a lot of shopping!

It didn't take the guys long to decide shopping wasn't their thing and they wanted to head to the beach..


The boys checkin out the waves..



The next day we went to Six Flags, I was so excited to go. Rollercoasters are one of my favorite things. Of course I got sick on the second ride and was shot for the day. But it was all worth it to go on the first ride with Billy. He was pretty nervous.. which was even funnier considering he isn't one to show much emotion. I am not going to lie it was a HUGE straight down drop. We start heading up the tracks and I could tell he was a little nervous. Before we knew it we were on a straight down drop! I look over at billy and he is yelling I CANT BREATHE! ha ha ha It totally took his breath away. He claims that he said that on purpose but I know for fact he didnt! I could not stop laughing the whole ride, everytime I looked over his facials were funnier and funnier. By the time the roller coaster ended I was crying. We get to the photo booth and all of us have our hands up and are having a blast and billy is holding tight to the handles and has a scared look on his face! It was so funny, I am regretting not buying the picture.


We spent the next day back and the beach and just kinda relaxing.


Boogie Boarding
My hot hubby :)
The Cheesecake Factory Mmm Mmm Mmm

 It was so much fun to be able to have a little get away for the weekend. It was much needed and we were so lucky that we got to go and have such a great time! I think we need to make it a tradition :)



Backstreets Back... Alright!

For my birthday my sisters
got us backstreet boys tickets!
I couldn't believe they were actually
 coming back to concert.
It definitely brings back so
many memories!

We had floor seats!
Me and my good friend Courtney

They were pretty funny..
They had matching hoodies with big
sparkly B's on the back with wifebeaters.
They did cheesy dance moves all syncronized,
I wonder if they used the same routine as they did
 17 years ago?? their moves were pretty outdated.
They had these corny videos they played.
Their dance moves matched the words in the songs.

but I have to admit...

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Sisters :)

Jenni officially is in love with Nick Carter.
She kept SCREAMING, and i mean SCREAMING
I LOVE YOU NICK!
It was SOOO funny!

The whole crew!


It was such a fun concert, I am SO glad we went!
Thanks girls for such a fun night.
Love you all.

Birthday Bash!

Billy and I are both so relieved that I am finally 20! He always jokes that he will no longer be married to a teen, he will no longer be robbing the cradle and he will stop babysitting. Ya I know HA HA HA.
 The jokes are over because I am now 20!

My Birthday was such a blast and I was definitely spoiled!
I took the whole day of work off, which was much needed.
Billy and I spent the whole day together and did lots of fun things!

Starting with...

A New Camera! Billy totally surprised me. I was so excited and I LOVE IT!
We started out the day by going to get Kneaders French Toast.. MMM MMM MMM!

Then we went and played tennis for a while, I am still learning but it is our new favorite thing :)

We went to lunch with my mom and sisters at Chilis..


We went Golfing, I learned that Golf is not my sport!
I think I missed the ball more than I hit it, we got some good laughs ;)



 Golfing was so hot! The sun took it out of me.. So we took a nap, and just hung out (which was great because we hardly ever get to do that!)
Then once again.. We went to eat. I honestly felt like we ate the whole day.
But I am not complaining!
It was a very fun Birthday Dinner at Olive Garden!




It was such a fun Birthday thanks to my sweet husband who planned it all!
Love you, thanks for making it such a wonderful day!

I am finally not a teenager! Woot Woot!



Great West Champs!

 What a great way to end the season with the Conference Championship!
UVU had a great team this year, it was so fun to watch them play.
It was great getting to know the players families and the other wives!
I wish so bad I could have gone with him, next year we will have to plan ahead.
  I don't think I can handle another two week trip. :(
Billy had a great season and he is already getting ready for next year.
I am so proud of him and all the hard work he has put into baseball and school.
It really is like having two full time jobs!
Even with the crazy baseball schedule he got a 4.0!!!
Way to go Billy!
It was so fun to watch the team succeed and win the Title!

Go UV!

Here are some fun Pictures from the Tournament!


 


Way to go UVU!
Until Next Year.... :)

The Last home Game :(

I cannot believe how fast the season has come and gone. Well.. its not over yet and Billy has his last two week trip to Texas for the tournament. I don't think I really understood what I was getting myself into with baseball ;) I just wish he could have all home games, and never travel. That would solve everything! Unfortunately thats not the case and he travels a ton! They had there last series of home games a couple weeks ago. I was so sad that he is done with home games, but I am thrilled that he is almost done traveling. It has been so much fun going to his games and watching him do something he loves.
How cute is he?? Love a man in a uniform :)

The Carson Kids!


It has been so much fun to watch Billy play.
 I have loved every minute of going to his games.
 He has a had a great year, but I am ready for him to stop traveling and leave me widowed.  
UVU had a great season and took The Great West Conference Title.
 Lets hope they win the tournament this weekend and finish off the season with a bang!
all I can say is I cannot wait to have my husband back!!!

The Gorgeous Graduate!

I don't know if I have ever seen anyone more excited about graduating in my whole life. Clarissa was smiling from ear to ear for days. She just kept saying over and over. "I am so excited, uhh i am just so excited!! I never have to go to school again, I am just so excited!" She has never liked school, ever since she was a little girl she hated school. This truly was such a great accomplishment for her. She is actually the first Carson to ever graduate and the first granddaughter on the Squires side. We are so proud of her and this HUGE accomplishment.

CONGRATS! WE LOVE YOU!


Happy Mothers Day!

This past weekend me and my mom had the opportunity to go to the temple with just the two of us. As we were sitting there, I kept thinking how lucky I was to have her in my life and to be in the most important place with her, the temple. I am so grateful that I have a mother who attends the temple as often as she can, I am so grateful for her faithfullness and her ability to share her testimony with all those who surround her but most importantly our family. Growing up she always made it a priority to have family prayer and scripture study every morning. She always made it clear to us children how important the gospel was to her. I am so grateful she made the gospel a priority in our lives, it has been such a blessing in my life. She is such an incredible mother, with more patience and love then anyone I know. I admire the way she has raised us and I hope someday I will follow in her footsteps and achieve some of the qualities she posseses as a mother. It is hard to put in words how grateful I am for all she does, she is so self-less and always puts our family first. I am so lucky to have her in my life, she is the greatest mom and I feel blessed everyday of my life that she is mine.


This year I was especially lucky to get to celebrate mothers day, because I not only have one great mom I have 2! I am so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family. I am so grateful for billy's mom and the person she is. She has been such a blessing and she has made me feel so welcome in their family. I love her and I am so grateful for her constant example. Its crazy how much you can love someone you recently met. I believe one of the reasons I had such an instant love for her is because she gave me my greatest blessing, Billy. She raised such an admirable son and I am so grateful for the way she raised him and the important things she has taught him. I will be forever grateful to her for giving me Billy. I am so grateful for mothers day and the opportunity we have to recognize our mothers. I cannot wait to be a mom someday, I am so lucky to have such positive role models in my life. Happy Mothers Day!
