Layni Ryan Bunderson

My new puppy!!! She has been named Layni Ryan Bunderson! In all honesty I will probably never use her middle name it was just really hard for me to decide between the names Layni and Ryan. I purchased her November 19th, 2009. She was a COMPLETE impulse buy! I had been wanting a puppy off and on for about 9 months or so and my roommate and I had gone to a pet store the day before and there were some really cute Yorkies that I fell in love with. But they were $900. There was no way I could afford that. So my roommate (Brenna) told me about an advertisement in the newpaper she had seen recently for a Yorkie/Maltese mix. (a.k.a Morkie) The next day she had made an appointment to go and take a look. The minute I saw her I had to have her!!! There was no way I was going to be able to leave there with out her. So I didn't. I didn't even think about it. I had no dog supplies at all! No food, treats, collar, dog dish....NOTHING. Luckily Brenna had a lot of stuff from when she first got her puppy Lexy so we were really lucky. I hadn't even looked up Info. on this breed or anything and I had planned a trip to SLC with Brenna and had no idea who I was going to have watch her. Once again, Brenna came through for me and said that her mom was going to be watching Lexy and she had no problem taking care of Layni as well. So I didn't get to spend much time with her at first, but we have a had a lot of time together since and I am 100% satisfied with my impulse buy. While potty training has been a bit of a struggle, she is doing very good with it. Also her and Brenna's puppy Lexy get along SO GOOD!!! They are the best of friends!!

Lin's Softball Tournament

I'm not quite sure how I get talked into this almost every year but somehow, without fail it always happens. I get talked into playing at the Lin's Softball Tournament. I am not a very good softball player. I wish I was, but I am not. I would like to think of myself as more of a basketball girl. Anyway Lin's had their annual softball tournament. Every year all 5 Lin's stores meet together in Cedar City and have a friendly competion. And needless to say we got our butts kicked, it was almost embarassing. But it was fun! And apparently thats all that matters :)

Finally! I have purchased a Lap Top :)

I have finally purchased a new lap top! So hopefully I will be updating my blog more than once every 7 months! Haha!! Here is what my new baby looks like!

California

I recently went to California with my little sister Jennet and her son (my nephew) Jacob. It was such a fun trip! It was great to just get out of town for a few days and hang out with Lisa and Dan and all of the kids :)

We drove down on a Thursday afternoon and arrived at Lisa and Dan's around 8:00PM. We visisted and talked about what we wanted to do for the weekend. On Friday we went shopping of course, Saturday we got pedicures.


Sunday we went down to Newport to a fun and yummy cupcake shop called "Sprinkles". After cupcakes we went to Laguna Beach and were enjoying ourselves until we were given basically a live version of Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl". I'm not gonna lie it was pretty disturbing! Ha! Anyhoo....other than that it was a great time!












It was Jacob's first beach experience and at first I don't think he really cared for the sand but after awhile he got used to it and had a lot of fun playing in it. The water was too cold to get in, but the weather was amazing! Hopefully it won't be long before I can go back. Thanks Lisa for letting us stay with you it was ALOT of fun!

Better Late Than Never :) :)

Okay....so don't be mad....but I am finally getting around to posting Christmas pictures, but in my defense I don't have regular access to internet so I am going to use that as my excuse. Haha!

Christmas was amazing as usual. What made it amazing was being with family. I love getting together with all of the family no matter what the occasion. On Christmas Eve we all met at Mom and Dads and had a yummy meal followed by a short Christmas program. Then there was the exchanging of gifts from the brother and sisters families since we weren't all going to be together on Christmas Day. Here are a few pictures from the evening. :)

Secondhand Serenade

For Christmas my roommate got me concert tickets to one of my favorite bands ever!!! Secondhand Serenade!! The concert was on January 16th and unfortunately,cameras were not allowed at the event so I didn't bring my camera but it was so fun!! The concert was held at the House of Blues in Las Vegas and the opening bands were amazing! I have 2 new favorite bands, The White Tie Affair and Rookie of the Year!! We were able to meet these two bands after the concert so one day when they are famous I will be able to say "I met them!" Haha! Anyway it was a lot of fun and it made me want to go to concerts more often!
