more spring break fun

more spring break fun #1: thursday night kason and i went on a little staycation to the arizona grand resort. it was so nice relaxing and sleeping in a king size bed. kason and i decided that the first thing we are going to save up for is a king size bed. {we will enjoy our 100lb tv with antenna that hit you in the head as you walk in and midget size couches with holes in them for a while. first thing on thing on the list is a bed. not that we aren't thankful to harleigh for letting us use hers. its just well, we need space. you understand.} at the resort they had a water park with some pretty crazy water slides. kason went on them and i, well, here's the story. first i went on the short turning one. slides that are not very high = fun. next kason convinced me to climb the 8 story stair case to go down the big one. i got half way up the stairs turned around and walked back down. after a pep talk from kason i attempted the stairs again. this time i made it to the top and waited my turn as 10 year olds fearlessly went down the nearly vertical slides. sooner than i wanted, it was my turn. the lifeguard lady turned to ask me if i had been down them before so she could instruct me how to do it properly. her question quickly turned into a statement, "you look terrified". and i was. {as i kid i went down those stupid bonzi slides once at sunsplash and hated it and to this day i am terrified of those slides.} i got in the slide ready to go and inched myself forward. i looked down at the drop and i couldn't do it. i pulled myself back up the slide and started crying. that's right i cried. i was so scared of the stupid slide i cried. i got up and let the 8 year old behind me go down and motioned to kason to come up and get me. he laughed a bit and told me i didn't have to go down it. me = biggest dork in the world. new goal = next time i see one of those slides i am going down. despite my failure to defeat my fear of the slide the day at the resort was pretty fun and i enjoyed it.

more spring break fun #2: last night we went to the suns game. even though we were a few rows from the top it was still awesome. we seriously had a blast. if any of you were watching the pre game show you might have seen us cheering for our suns in the background. that's right we were on t.v. i know, awesome.

we skate

we busted out our blades yesterday and well it was awesome. kason had told me about his days in elementary school and jr high as an extreme skater but until i saw the tricks i didn't know how extreme he was. lets just say i was impressed by the jumps and grinds. i showed him my tricks but i don't think they were as impressive. {however if the rest of my blading gang was there we would have busted out an awesome routine that only a few have seen. you girls know what i am talking about.} moral of the story is: we skate and its awesome.

look at our garden grow

day one of spring break = gardening. our little patio garden is starting to look pretty good. we added cucumber, strawberry, onions, peanuts, and updated our flowers. that's right, peanuts. we are really excited about plants!

our baby tomato

our tomato plant has finally given us a baby tomato! it started to ripen this week and we were so excited when we got to harvest it and eat it in our salad last night. nothing is better than a real garden salad. that's right, you're looking at home grown garden lettuce and tomatoes! yum!

one week until...

spring break! we need a break.


p.s. so its basically awesome that i still get spring breaks even though i am not in school anymore. woo hoo!
