Bizarre Foods & a CrAzY Hubby!!

Ryan went fishing at Salmon Dam with some buddies & brought home some trout. We love watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. So Ryan decided to try "eye" for a change. YUCK!!

He could have his own show! He would try ANYTHING! I would be better off being a normal food critic...how fun would that be? Try people's food & tell them honestly what you think about it. "My compliments to the chef!"

He's here...Krew Mills McMillen!

I am VERY PROUD to say that I am the Aunt of a new lil nephew: Krew Mills McMillen. Brandi, you did such a good job...(I guess you did too Miller). He was born May 29, 2009 @ 7:02 pm & weighed 9lbs. & was 21 1/2 in. long. He is the CUTEST baby ever & I am so glad I got to be in the delivery room & experience this with them. I love you ALL. Welcome to the FAM Krew...we are so glad you're FINALLY HERE!!

PROUD PARENTS!!

Already to come home...

All snuggled in his new bed...

What a CHUNK...I could kiss on those cheeks FOREVER!

Proud Sister....

Payette Lake...

Megan & I stopped at Payette Lake on our way back home from Moscow to take some pictures. There was still snow on the mountains (who would have thought...in Idaho??). Thanks Megs...it was fun getting to know you more.

A Shout Out To Leti...

Last Friday Lindsay & I went to CSI's graduation to support our friend Leti. Not only did she graduate from CSI, but she's also attending cosmetology school with us. School wouldn't be the same without her & I am so glad I started when I did. CONGRATS LETI!!

Bent knees n' all... Meet my little friend!

Leti & Linds...

Day at the park...

On Saturday night (May 9th) after Brandi's baby shower we decided to go get KFC & go to the park. We played frisbee, football & some blind tag. It was fun to get out & spend quality time together...here are some pictures!

A Trip up to Moscow...

Brandi called me up in the middle of April & asked me if I wanted to ride up with Megan to Moscow for her baby shower. The week before May 9th...I told Brandi I wasn't going to be able to make it up. She was so bummed. I wanted it to be a surprise so I told "The best secret keeper in the whole-wide world"...KAIDEN! So on Thurs May 7th Megan & I started on our LLOONNGG journey to Moscow. The drive was beautiful. We went through Payette on the way their & through McCall on the way back. I would have to say that I liked going through McCall better. It seemed a lot faster too. So no one in the McMilen Clan knew I was coming, but Kaiden & he kept it a secret the whole time. Way to go KaidMAN! They were all surprised & it was so good to see them. We arrived Thurs night & left Sun morning. Our trip was short but sweet. Brandi's baby shower turned out GREAT (thanks to Sarah). So our weekend was lots of FUN! We ate at some yummy restaurants, went to the farmer's market & went to the park. Thanks McMillen's for putting up with me that weekend. LOVE YOU ALL!

Ericka's Bufday...

I know...I have been a little behind...

Ericka's birthday (BIG 21) was on May 2nd so my parents & I drove down to Salt Lake to celebrated. We left Saturday around 10 am & ended up stopping at Maddox for lunch. YUMMY! We met Brock & Ericka at the mall in SL. My parents & Brock ended up driving to Lehi to go to Cabella's & a car dealership while Ericka & I got to go shopping & spend some sisterly tiime together. That night we met up with Sevy, Cory & David at the Spaghetti Factory for E's birthday dinner. Great choice Euka! Sunday morning...we got up & treated ourselves with the best breakfast brunch EVER at Little America. Those strawberry crepes get me everytime. It's all I eat there. After brunch...Ericka & I headed to the hairshow. There were so many booths & shows going on. We both got some really good deals. Here's a few pictures of our weekend...

Birthday Girl!!

Weekend in Wendover!!! PART 2...

On with it...shall we?

SATURDAY: So on Saturday we ALL got to sleep in...AWWW!! Then my dad got Traci & I 2 FREE Swedish messages (1 hr. each) Sat. afternoon. So we ate brunch & headed to our messages. The message therapist was amazing! It was so RELAXING...just what we needed to prep us for what happened next. We came back to the hotel room & got ready while the boys did there thing. Then we ate dinner & headed to the concert.

Concert: When we arrived to Phil Vassar...the usher showed us our seats. OH MY GOODNESS. We were in the second row with BIG black seats & cup holders. FIRST CLASS BABY!! When the concert started, Traci & I managed to make our way to the stage. The boys decided to be manly & stay in their seats. He sang right to US & held our hands. We were dancing & havin the time of our lives. He signed our concert tickets & then he signed my tank & Traci's "so called tank." OOPS! When he was signing he said..."Are you coming to the Meet n' Greet?" Traci & I thought it was some kind of club. This girl next to us said..."Did he just invite you to the Meet n' Greet?" To make the story short...we managed to go backstage to the Meet n' Greet without passes because he PERSONALLY invited US! He was AMAZING. He even knew where Twin Falls & Filer, ID were. It was a TRIP I will NEVER FORGET! THANKS DAD & MOM! We owe you & LOVE YOU more than you will ever know!

Me n' my GANG!!

Me & Trac with PHIL!



Traci's "so called tank!"




My signed tank...(do you like my heart?)

There we are listening to Phil front & center.

I had a full conversation with the violinist. I wanted his broken bow.

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, YEAH YEAH!

He is a good-looking 44 yr old... He is AWESOME on the piano!!

There he is signing our concert tickets...

There we are...

Our SEXY hubbies!

Me & my LOVER!

JUST FOR LAUGHS...

SO...after the concert we came back to the hotel. Traci & I wanted to change into something a little bit more casual so we told the boys we'd meet them downstairs at the black jack tables. As we were waiting by the elevator to come downstairs & meet the boys...we were singing "I'll take that as a yes." We were singing loud from our hearts when the elevator doors slid open. Can you guess who was standing in the elevator? YES...Phil Vassar & his band. It was a little EMBARRISSING, but they loved it. HA...we hungout with them for a smidge & then they thanked us for coming & supporting them...it was GREAT! Thanks Phil...it was fun chillin with YOU!!
