ARIZONA SUNSHINE

Okay I realize it has been a long time but let's be honest I think I am the only one who has updated in a very long time,,,,besides Candi. Anyways so let me start where we left off, So we ended school Kevin and I both finished off the semester with straight A's Go us! I am just chipping away a little at a time as I work and Kevin works his butt off taking 17 plus credits a semester, he is working so hard! So the semester came and ended and on the Thursday of our week long break from school Kevin's parents came down to watch Blayne and Rachel's kids and his mom was not feeling good, ended up that she had shingles so Kev and I spent a decent amount of time in Idaho Falls trying to help them out and helping out with the kids and we still had a blast. Amanda had her little girl that week and unfortunately with the way work is right now I don't really have anybody to cover my shifts so I wasn't able to go until the weekend. Then when I went to go see her and the baby and the kids on my way I heard on the radio there was a huge 20 car pile up between her and me and the roads were closed! So I have yet to see little Ava Burt yet! Then the coming week was well anticipated for, our trip to ARIZONA!!! IT was finally here and I was so excited to get some sun! Rexburg is still freezing and snowed on May 1st so stupid. Anyways we got to Mesa and Jill picked us up and took us to this awesome place called like farmer Joe's or something like that and it is on a farm! It was so pretty they had grapefruit and orange tree's that I was trying to pick I need to get the pictures from Jills phone of Kevin trying to lift me up to get them. Regardless he couldn't lift me so I think someone has put on some weight! Oh well haha so then we headed to Tucson and we stopped on the way and got a in & out shake and got back pretty late that night! It was just a long day of traveling so we went home and passed out! The next day we woke up and hung out a little bit and then went to get Steve from work cause he got off at noon. We got to experience Peter Piper Pizza that we have been hearing about and it pretty good. Then we got to spend the afternoon at the pool! Man it was so nice I was spraying on the tanning oil in hopes of burning and then having beautiful tan skin for at least a while when I got back to Rexburg! I don't really remember the days now and what exactly we did so I am just going to tell you all of the things we did do. We went to some batting cages which we love to do in Tucson and then we went to a little Indian cowboy town and it was so cute! They had a steak place where if you wear a tie in they cut it off! Anyways the next day was Sunday and we had to send Kev back to Rexburg so he didn't miss any school! He is so studious I definately would have missed the first week of school for Arizona. From then on it was just me, addi and JIll and not to forget Jayce man! (haha jill :) Addi is still in good standings of my best friend or I should say that I am in good standings of her best friend! Jace is so cute I would not mind to have taken him back with me! HE IS ADORABLE! He is such a good baby he never makes a fuss unless he needs changed, food, or sleep and that's pretty good I would say! Made me a little baby hungry! Addi also told me " Aunt Shayla if you would have never married Kevinator or never ever ever ever ever got married I would come live with you in Idaho." Thanks addi! hhaha she always keeps me on my toes I love that little girl to death. Me and jill and jace went for a little adventure out in the desert and I saw a frickin Jack-a-lope and it was HUGE like a kangaroo bunny. Then I found a Horny toad that I was able to keep watch of until Jillian could run home with Jace and run back with a bucket to capture! That was pretty interesting and her neighbors sure loved it! Then I got introduced to her boarder patrol neighbor and he brought over the dvd of all the footage they had of the camps and people they had come across. After that I was pretty sure I wanted to work for Boarder Patrol. Those Mexicans would not even know what to do with themselves. HEY VATO YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE! Actually the sucky part is he said you had to be very respectful to them. STUPID THEY ARE CROSSING INTO MY COUNTRY I WOULD NOT BE NICE which is why I will probably never be Boarder Patrol. But they are everywhere in Tucson! We pretty much just hung out and laughed a lot for the rest of the time until I had to come home! On the way to the airport in Mesa we stopped at this burrito shack that was literally just a shack and it had the best burritos! That was a good send off also while there we found out Steve got accepted into BYU for his masters and how great of news is this! Now they can live really close to me again! Then Jill went to drop me off at the airport I was pretty sad and ADDI kept telling me. Just stay here you don't have to get on that plane if you don't want to! IT was so hard to say no to that little face! So then I go into the airport and I am up checking my bag and ADDI came running up to me and whispers loud...My mom needs to talk to you! That girl is so funny! It was a good last laugh. The plane ride home was terrible we even nose dived for a while and I was sure that was it and I was going to die. When we landed I was so thankful and pretty sick to with all the bouncing up and down we did. Anyways my hubby picked me up and we went to eat at Olive Garden and relax a little. I had such a rough week when I got back and I got really sick with what I will just say a little bug was going around! Anyways I wasn't feeling well but Sunday was Kevin's Birthday and he ended up taking care of me for most of the day and cleaning and sanitizing everything! Then I was feeling better and made him a cake. Poor boy his first birthday wasn't exactly fantastic but he is so sweet and told me it was just what he wanted! His brother took us to the Snake Bite in Idaho Falls which is Kevins favorite restaurant in Idaho Falls. Then I went and showed him the falls because he has never been down by them just saw them from afar! So that is pretty much it sorry this is a lot of writing and no pictures but I am just going to upload all of them together! Welp we are off to another semester of school! We are so close just the summer and another semester to go! GO US! LOVE YOU ALL! HAPPY MAY! OKAY ILL ADD PICTURES TONIGHT IM AT WORK
