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...

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?)

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...

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!!

Weekend in Wendover!!! PART 1...

WOW...what a WEEKEND! About a month ago I asked my dad if he could get me some concert tickets to Dierks Bentley & Phil Vassar in Wendover. My dad sales cars to casinos & has AWESOME hookups. He ended up getting me: 4 free tickets to Dierks & Phil, 2 free hotel rooms (both w/ 2 kingsize beds & master bathrooms), & 4 free vouchers for food. We just had to invite another couple & pay for gas. Now that's my kind of trip. Thanks DAD & MOM....you're the BEST!!

FRIDAY: So we headed to Wendover Friday with Zach & Traci & met my parents. They had to be there for all of this to happen & only came up for the night. When we got there...my parents had already checked us in, got all of our vouchers, & our concert tickets. ARE MY PARENTS AMAZING OR WHAT? We were off to go see Dierks Bentley. We had GREAT seats. Dierks was FANTASTIC. He threw his drumstick right to Traci & I. We dropped it & it landed right by my foot. I picked it up & this kid bent my finger back. CRAPPY, huh? I almost said something until I saw how BIG he was & I didn't think RY could take him. HA...at least I touched his DRUMSTICK right? So Friday was an AMAZING night for us. We came back to the hotel ate & hit the sack! Here are some hightlights of our FRIDAY NIGHT!

Here's our PROOF!!

Dierks & his guitar dude...



Do we look HAPPY to be here??

Stoked outta our minds...


WHOOP YEAH!!


KISS KISS...


Me & my better 1/2...

Isn't he a STUD?

Wouldn't have been the same w/out the GREGERSEN'S!!

He could eat crackers in my bed ANY DAY...J/K!

COMING SOON...

You wanna know what happened this weekend? DO YA? Well...you'll just have to wait!

YAY for FAMILY!!!

I am so HAPPY to say that my SISTAS are coming to visit! It has been soooooo long since all 3 of us girls have been together & had some sisterly bonding time. I am also thrilled that Brandi is packing along her whole McMillen Crew & unfortunately only 1/2 of the McClain Crew is making this journey. Ry is also leaving on a fishing trip this weekend so I get to crash at my parents w/ the whole FAM DAMILY! I mean...(how much fun could they have without MU-AH)? Friday...Brandi & Kennedy are coming to my school to get pampered: pedi, mani, scalp treatment (makes your hair soooo SOFT), & a couple hair styles. I am STOKED! So as you can tell...I can't wait till TOMORROW. Life is most meaningful when it has purpose & people in it...a life without those 2 things isn't life to ME. I LOVE MY FAMILY!!

Boys will be Boys...

I had to share these pictures...I think they are so ADORABLE!!

Being silly with APPLES!!

Wearin Uncle Ryan's beanie...

YUM! YUM!

Words Ry has taught Carson:

1) Holy Shnikes

2) Cool Dude

3) Pepsi

4) Fart

5)Fishing

6) He's taught him how to smell people & say, "Eww...stinky."

The other day when Ryan got home from fishing he asked Carson if he wanted to smell fish. Of course Carson replied with a big "YEAH." Ryan stuck out his hand & Carson took a big whiff. After he took a BIG whiff he gaged & almost threw up on Ryan. My mother-in-law Kris doesn't know who's face was funnier...Carson's or Ryan's!

Carson!!!

Holy Shnikes...Ryan & I seriously love this kid to pieces. He is so full of energy & is constantly making us laugh. We always enjoy when he comes over...

He loved riding on Ryan's back.

Ryan would try to throw him off, but Carson would hold on tight.

pRiCeLeSs...

We are so BLESSED to have you in our lives Carson...We love you!!

Happy Birthday GAUGE...We ♥ YOU!!
