The weekend of the 4th of August Colin and I had quite the schedule. Friday we had arrived at his house there in Hooper, UT and immediately his mom and I along with Shay went to go baby shopping for cousin Allyssa's baby shower the following day and Colin left with his dad to look at a boat for Uncle Mike. After we returned Colin had left with one of his friends while I enjoyed just hanging around the house. The following day is when it got busy.
Terie and I went shopping at a new store called Gordmans there in Riverdale. MY NEW FAVORITE STORE!!! Colin could care less but good looking jeans with a good lookin price as well! :) I couldnt believe how affordable their clothes were! It was like an upgraded TJ MAXX. After that we had to take off to go the Aunt Jaci's in Herriman for the baby shower. It was so much fun to see everybody there and to hang out! I even got to hold baby Elsie Leis (mistalyns baby girl) she is SO cute. Colin came with us and crashed the party for one the food and the other to help Anthony diagnose the status of the air conditioning in my car. Let me tell ya...I didnt like driving clear from Hooper to Herriman (about an hours drive) in the middle of the day without air conditioning. Needless to say it was pretty entertaining watching those boys fix that air conditioning. Turns out there were two wires that were cut because they had fallen against the pulley or something to that effect and over time it just cut them. SO WE GOT TO DRIVE WITH AIR CONDITIONING! Now just for the final preparations on the care to sell it.
After the baby shower we headed straight to Draper to a place called Planet Play. It is just behind that big water slide place you can see right off the freeway. It was Aunt Wendy's 40th birthday (shout out to her ya old fart! ha ha just kidding we love you aunt wendy). Planet Play is the ULTIMATE Chuckie Cheese! Go Karts, Laser Tag, Miniature Bowling and all sorts of arcade games PLUS ALL YOU CAN EAT FOOD! We had a BLAST seeing everybody and playing laser tag and what not! Needless to say we shut that place down! We loved playing with the kids and seeing them have so much fun! We seriously cannot wait until the next family outing/get together!
Last week I came home a couple days in a row after being sick and I am such a lucky girl to have a wonderful husband that would take care of me. And boy did I milk it for all it was worth! (for those of you whose minds are wandering no im NOT pregnant it was something going around at work a couple people went home with it as well). This past weekend Colin and I were planning on just chilling at home and hanging out with friends before school stuff started kicking in.
Friday night we went Jeepin Down Old Main Hill. A lot of people just take Ice Blocks down it but one of Colin's co-workers (for those shelleyans Travis Maynard to be exact) found one of those motorized childrens jeeps next to a dumpster with the motor ripped out so we decided to take that down Old Main Hill. For all those doubters out there SO MUCH BETTER THE ICE BLOCKING. And yes to the parentals we did wear helmets some of the time :).Saturday we were called up by Colin's parents to go boating with July and Targ Childs and kids. We had so much fun spending time out in the sun and in the water. That was only the second time that we were able to get out on the boat. It was such a great day out on the lake we left super tired, sunburned with big smiles for a well used up day. Colin and I then returned to Logan Saturday night and woke up Sunday to head to church. This was the only second time that we have been to this ward and we showed up a half hour late. Lesson learned church starts at 9 not 930.
Colin and I have a short week this week because we have a couple friends and some family getting married all in the same week!!! Chandi and Chris are getting married Wednesday (unfortunately we cant make it to that SORRY) and then Kelly and Kiley are getting married on thursday which we are super excited for them to be moved into their apartment because it is TWO buildings away from ours! YAY! and then my cousin Brittney is getting married on Saturday in which after the wedding we have plans to hit up Rexburg Rapids which we are so excited to do!
School starts August 27th and Colin and I are happy to announce that we BOTH got financial aid and so we were able to pay for school for BOTH OF US!! WOOT WOOT!!! Such a relief and I am SO excited to start the new school year as MRS MAXFIELD. Speaking of which we were finally able to finalize the name change after receiving my new SS card now just the wait to receive my license in the mail and change my name at school! :) so glad to have that stress off my back also!
Well that is it for our busy lives so far! Stay tuned for more chapters to come in the Crazy Life of Colin and Allison :)
