Bens Birthday

August 2 was my husband Bens birthday, he is now 22!! He thought he was going to have to go to work so we got up early and right before he calls his boss, his boss calls him and tells him he can have the day off. Ben was so excited so he went disk golfing with some of his friends. He got home and we just sat around all day. For dinner we invited some friends to come over. We cooked brauts and had some cookie cake that I made. It was so much fun! Then every one had left except his friend Zac and we seen this huge spider so we killed it Ben came back to sit down and sat on the rest of his cake. I was laughing so hard cause he had frosting all over his butt. After that it kinda died down so we went to our room a gave Ben a back massage and a foot massage and then we went to bed.

This was the house snake we had it excape this day and then when we found it we let it go.

These two pictures are after every body left there was a huge spider on the wall so we smashed it, it was about a quaters size big. Then the other picture is cause Ben spilled the bug candle wax all over the place.

This is Bens butt after he sat in the cake.

This is the birthday cake it is cookie dough and it wouldnt come out of the pans so i had to piece it together.

Lloyd Family Reunion

This past weekend was my Lloyd Family Reunion. It was at Solder Camp ground in Idaho. We left around 3 pm on Friday, the trip wasnt very long but always annoying to drive that far. My parents on the way had car troubles the water pump in my dads truck which he had just replaced the week before broke and they had to get a new one. So we stopped by and saw them and made sure they were doing alright, picked up the stuff they were bringing for my sister Liz, then headed back on the road. We got to camp and couldnt find our spot any where cause we didnt realize that my parents had a serperate place then every one else but luckly we found it quickly. It only took us about 45 min to get every thing set up (the tent and air mattress).

 Then we waited for my sister Liz and her husband Tim and their kids Sariah (9) and Sam (4). They had a new tent so we helped them put it up. It was a pretty big tent it had a closet in it and the door had poles in it so that it was heavier and wouldnt be annoying like most tent doors can be. It started to get really dark so we closed up the car and then realized that we locked our keys in the car, we decided that we were just going to worry about it tomorrow. We decided to go to bed when my parents showed up. We didnt think that they were going to make it that night so we were way shocked that they did. It took about an hour to talk to them get the trailor in the right spot and then go to bed.

So normally when you go camping you have to worry about it getting cold at night. This night was not like this it was so hot I couldnt sleep. I slept out side of my sleeping bag most of the night. I infact didnt even use my sleeping bag because I let our dog Rupert use it and when I started to get a little cold I cuddled with my husband.

We had to make breakfast in the morning and the stuff for it was in our car so we woke up bright and early to get the car unlocked. Our car is one of the ones that they make it so you cant use a hanger or a slime jim in. So my dad had to get a hanger and open the door. It took about an hour or more. I was so greatful that my dad was there because we wouldnt have been able to do it. My dad is a genuis with a hanger!

That day we played Bingo and I won a woppy cousion for Ben. Then we went on walks to this outlook place it was so beautiful. We didnt get to take pictures of it till the next morning because our phones were dead. We took a nap or tried to cause this day was HOT! I tried to take a nap for about an hour and then gave up. Around dinner time it started to thunder and lightning. It was raining for a little bit and then it got really bad there were tarps over the picnic table and they dumped water all over every body. Ben my family and me all ran back to our camp site they went into the trailor and we went to our car. It was a good thing to because then it started hailing and they were like golf ball sized hail balls I thought at first it was maybe going to break one of the windows. It got so went that there were puddles of water every where you went. It didnt get our tent to much so that was good. We went back up to eat food and it was a flood zone they had trences and they had to dig down under the rail way wood blocks and make a place where it would empty out to so it wasnt all around the picnic tables. During dinner the wind started to pick up agian and it dumped water all over my Aunt Wanda who is blind. They rushed her to there camper so she could change. After this we stayed in my parents trailor and watched movies. Then went to bed.

The next morning we took some more walks, cleaned up camp said goodbye to people and went home. We had such a great weekend!!

This is when we were trying to stay out of the rain so we got in our parents trailor.

This is how tall the trees were. They were so tall you could really tell where the sun was.

Packer Family Reunion

This past weekend was my moms family reunion. It was at Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. We stayed at a KOA there and me and Ben stayed in our tent. It was the first trip our dog Rupert has ever been on and it went amazingly well. He didn't get car sick, he didn't get to freaked out at the new place and a plus is that everyone loved him.
We got there at 5:30 pm so we had dinner took a couple walks and went to bed. That night was bad cause there was a train track right next to the camp and every 45 min the train came by and woke us up and plus it was sooooo cold so when we did wake up we couldn't get back to sleep.
 In the morning we ate breakfast burritos and my dad found a Frisbee golf coarse so we went Frisbee golfing for about an hour while every one else got ready to go the pool. Me and Ben didn't want to go to the pool so we went down the river with my dad and cousin Ross. It was so much fun the river was freezing of course but not to bad. We took a break from that to eat lunch and warm up a bit. Then we went back to the river the first time down was bad I flipped and I didn't think I hit any rocks but I now have bruises on my body and when I went under it knocked the wind out of me. It took a minute to recover but my husband was so nice he stayed back to help me. Then we started going down the river again and I hit a rock on my butt it hurt so bad I almost couldn't walk and now there is a big bruise, but that didn't stop me from going down one more time. We didn't have a lot of time to go down the river because we had to go to a wagon ride and dinner. So we got back to camp got ready and went to dinner.
Dinner was great they had draft horses and pulled us to the place were we had dinner and they sang while we ate. There was also a play ground so we went and played before we had to go back to camp.
The next day we just woke up packed up and headed home cause we wanted to get home early. It was lots of fun!! And thanks to my Aunt Kathy who planned it. Pictures will come soon.

One Year

On May 29 was our first year anniversary. Its weird to think it was that long ago that we got married! I still love Ben just as much as when we got married and engaged and even started dating. I couldnt imagine my life with out him in it and the more and more I think about it we were ment to be together. I never believed in true love till I met him. I love him!
The only things we did that day was take the day off. We went out to eat it was my choice and we went and got Taco Bell and yes that is eating out. We got our hair cut and we wanted to go see a movie but there is nothing good out right now so instead we went to the movie theater archade and played Dance Dance Revolution. It was so much fun just to spend the day together.

Biggest loser up date: I gained 4 pounds but then this week I lost 4 pounds so I didnt gain or lose any since I last time I got on so hopefully this week will be better!

It was my birthday on Tuesday! And I had friends come over and we played Wii. I got a re-chargable battery for my Wii fit and I got my ears peirced for the second time.

Yay

So it has been two weeks into the biggest loser and I have lost three pounds. I thought for sure that I was going to gain weight this week cause I havnt been as good as I should have been about exercising, but in the end I lost two pounds this week. Hope I can keep it up the whole time and lose weight. It will be good to be able to get in better shape and to look better before I start my yoga teacher classes.
