The Pool!
Karen trying to catch some more rays in the car on our way to Vegas!

Spring is definately one of my favorite times of the year. I just LOVE to see all of the flowers blooming and everything becoming more colorful!

The Bellagio

The girls!

Chris and Karen
We love you guys so much!!!!

This shot was particuarly trick since we were on an escalator!

Taking the train

These stairs were so beautiful. Those two words don't really go together in sentences, but they were colorful and intriguing.

Examining the sculpture. This is what we came up with... A fetus in the womb.

Go figure?

Trying to acheive "the pose"

Take 30/47

This was take 42/47. We had to get the perfect waterfall shot!

While in Vegas, we were able to go see the Lion King! It was amazing! The costumes and music were spectacular. We really wanted a picture in front of the Lion King sign, so we asked this lady to take a picture for us... Needless to say, we did not get our picture by the lion king sign.

Ants in our Pants

Literally..... Ants in our Pants.

Recently, our home has been invaded by ants. I first found them in the bathroom and so I decided to run out and buys some Raid thinking that they would vanish. Oh boy was I wrong. We now have ants invading ever corner in our house. Our poor neighbors below us have them real bad and they some how have come up through the pipes into our house.

I have tried EVERY method of killing the little fellows.
I have set up traps so that they will take the bait back to the mother load ... Failure

I have tried using spray that requires you to leave your house all day... Failure

I have tried pouring contact solution onto a nilla wafer (supposedly kills them)... Failure

(This method just made them multiply by the dozens and congregate to my house.)

Tried smashing them with my foot whenever I see one... Temporally works, but mostly fails

So last night I was picking up some of Josh's sweat pants in the closet, low and behold, ants were all over his pants!

Needless to say, we have ants in our pants!

California

Go Team Conan!

Our lifeline!

Is this plane landing on the freeway!?

Sweet ride man! (Grossest thing I have ever seen)

V = Venice Beach

"Ding Ding"

My favorite part of the trip... the bikes! Mine had a bell... that I DID USE!

Wow... Best story of the trip. On our long bike journey, we both had to use the potty, but found ourselves more than anxious. This is Josh triumphantly coming out of the bathroom. Notice what is on the ground and would have been left if we had not taken this picture.

Low and behold it was the wallet. If any of you know Josh, you know that he is KING for losing things and leaving things around. This would not have been the best thing to leave next to the public pooper.

Santa Monica. We rode our bikes for two hours to get here!

In traffic...

Dusk: Still in Traffic

Dark:Three hours later... still in traffic ...

So Josh and I went to Disneyland over UEA weekend. For those unfamiliar with UEA, it is when all of utah travels to southern california for the weekend. It so happened to be "Gay Day" as well in Disneyland. Can you just imagine the crowds? Everyone that was there for Gay Day wore red. This is just one snapshot from Gay Day at Disneyland!!

This is what happens to your phone after you go on splash....

Magic. Candy Corn Land

In the interest of making our trip cheap, we stayed at the Econolodge. Upon arrival, I discovered that they would pride themselves on "Spa Suites"

Ha ha ha... Gross!
