The 4th of July

The 4th of July was such a fun weekend. We had some family up here and it was a great weekend. We had big Norris, Tori, Jake, Vanessa, Sierra, and Ashton up here to celebrate our freedom. We had lots of great dinners and BBQ's. We enjoyed the parade on Saturday morning, the sunshine in the afternoon, and the stadium of fire in the evening. The weekend was was great!!!

Everyday Experiences

ok so i have some funny stories to tell about norris and i. Last week there was this big spider on the wall, the first one we have seen in this apartment. The spider was up high on the wall and norris and i thought ok how r we going to get it down and kill it. Well we both thought norris should shoot it with the blow dart gun. Norris' friend Steve got Norris this blow dart gun that works pretty good. So norris stands up on the bed and aims for the spider. Well u can tell by the pictures that Norris missed. He took like four or five shoots and missed. All the shots happened to land around the spider. The spider ended up falling and we (meaning Norris) killed it on the floor. It was a fun experience.




The other story i have to tell is when i was doing the dishes or cooking something in the kitchen and i stepped on something that hurt. I went to check my foot and i couldn't see anything, so i continued my business. Later that night my foot still hurt in that same small area. I said Norris i think i have a splinter in my foot or something. He looked at it for me and said i think it is a piece of glass. He grab some tweezers and a flashlight and worked his magic. Norris should be a doctor, he is great at that stuff.

Brenna's B-day

So my Birthday was on Sunday and i turned 21. Man its about time! Well it was a good day! We slept in after a busy week of working then Norris couldn't wait to give me my gift! He got me a card that sang and a willow tree carving. I also picked out a really cute purse that i was in desperate need of. I think i wore my old black purse for like a year and a half. Tori sent me a package with some really cute clothes that i am planning on wearing tomorrow for the frist day of school, summer term.I also got these way pretty earrings that i couldn't wait to get from my mom. After we went to church, we went to a friends for dinner and we watched the Lakers game. It was a fun night. Monday night we went out to dinner for my b-day as well. It was a great birthday!

Carpinteria Camping

Last week Norris and i were in California for a family camp out. We went to Carpinteria Beach and camped with Norris' family. It was SO SO much fun. Norris was in heaven b/c he got to surf everyday:) I was in Heaven because the sun was out most of the time. We enjoyed spending time with everyone, eating great food, the beach, the camp fires (with blue darts), eating smores, and the water (with a wet suit on of course). Here are just some pics that i have.

Dinner

So a couple of Sunday's ago Norris helped me make a really good dinner. We had some tri-tip to cook up and Norris called his mom on how she makes it. He browned it then put it in the oven and watched it till it was ready. MAN oh MAN does that tri-tip look good or what! It was prefect in every way. Norris was really happy b/c that is the first time he has ever made tri-tip. It was a great dinner. He made the mash-potatoes as well. He is a sweet husband that always helps with dinner when i need it:)

Hiking The Y

Yesterday, Norris and I had some time to spend together so we hiked the Y in Provo. It was my first time and I was really excited. We got to the base of the hike and parked the car. I said to Norris, "this is not very far." The "Y" seemed really close and like it would be a piece of cake. Well while we were hiking Norris made the comment, "It seems closer then it is, HUH?" lol It was harder then i thought. Straight up hill man, but the view was so pretty when we got to the top, everything is GREEN. I was glad i was able to experience the Y hike. I don't know how many times i would want to climb it b/c its straight up and then down, pretty hard on the knees, but i did see people running up it. That was impressive. All in All it was fun to do it:)
