We have been having so much fun here with Pauls parents! My mom came out here too so we could all celebrate Masons 3rd birthday! He doesn't actually turn three for a couple of weeks, but we figured we'd celebrate it while we were with our family and friends that we love! He had a swim party at my aunt Angies fun house. He had a great time, and got lots of fun stuff. My parents got him a bike, so now im just trying to figure out how we are going to get it home on Saturday!!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 4th anniversary! August 21, 2004 we were married in the Las Vegas temple. It was the best day! We probably wont get to do anything fun today to celebrate, because Paul has school, and we dont have a babysitter! Thats the worse part about not living by any family! But dont you worry, because tomorrow at this time we will be heading to Henderson to be with our family for 10 days, and im sure we can con someone into babysitting for us to celebrate! Happy anniversary Paul! I love you!

Kidnapped

Bright and early Saturday morning, we went and kidnapped all, well most of the young women and brought them back to my house for breakfast. We had a lot of fun getting to know the girls! We wanted to do something fun with them so they would like us. They told the old presidency that they were not going to like us, and that they were mad about the change. (Sad). So I told them that I LOVE the Jonas Brothers, and now I magically have 5 new best friends!!

Mason's Owie...

Paul and Mason walked in tonight from swimming with Mason wrapped up in a towel cuddled up to Paul, so I knew something was up. I guess they were goofing off and Paul was throwing him up in the air, and then catching him. Well he catched him alright...with his head! They hit heads and now Mason has this monster growing off of his forehead, and Paul looks totally untouched.

Why oh why do they do that? Im sitting there in sacrament today listening to the speakers, then the Bishop gets up and says "since reorganizing our young women's org. we would like to invite a few of you to get up and bear your testimonies. We'd like to hear from sister so and so, sister so and so, sister Lystrup, and sister so and so." What?! Sister Lystrup is in Las Vegas. Then I realize he means me. Great. So I organize my thoughts, and feel somewhat prepared. It is now my turn so I take the 14 mile walk up to the podium and just start staring at Paul. I freeze and seriously forget everything I was going to say! Paul says I did good, but I know I looked like a dum dum. Then comes time to teach young womens. So I start on my lesson and everything is fine. Just as I start, the door opens and in walks the bishopric. Umm okay, can I help you? Do you need to take some time to say something? Do you need to speak to someone? Nope! They are just here to take part in the lesson. Super! They take their seats and I proceed with the lesson....the lesson that was supposed to take 35 minutes and only took 20. So we sat there in an akward silence for about 10-15 minutes and just stared at each other becuse I finished so early. So now I am just waiting to get the boot. I did enjoy the whole 3 hours that I served in young womes though.

Highlights of The Past Few Days

Nothing too exciting has happened here lately, but here are some things that have been going on...

Fun night at the poor mans zoo...

Last night we went to Cabela's again. We didnt know there was an aquarium there! The last time we went, we just walked right past it. It was pretty cool! Mason loved every minute of it!
