Boring Blog!

Hey I just wanted to say sorry for having such a boring blog lately. I know it's horrible and the truthis I have little things to blog about but I just haven't. I do LOVE being home though. It is wonderful! I am busy and it's good. Lately we have been hanging out with Roz and Drew a little bit more than we have for awhile and I have absolutely loved it! We had a little "reunion" with some high school friends a few weekends ago. It was a ton of fun to see those girls, I have missed them. We also have just hung out, played some Wii and watched our husband's favorite movie "Hot Rod". It's just been fun to hang out with them more!

Cute Brack! He is such a hard worker, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING BABE!

Other than that, not a whole lot has been going on. We have been spending a lot of time with family. Brack is done with school for the semester and did awesome this semester!!! GOOD JOB BABE! I'm so proud of you! So now he is taking the summer off and is going to be busy with side jobs all summer. His dad has quite the list going. It'll be good though. My sister Nat and her husband Jeff moved up here a little bit ago from St. George and we have been spending a lot of time with them. It has been fun. On Tuesday it was my brother-in-law Jeff's birthday and we celebrated by going to Red Robin. I have a funny picture of Jeff, he's hilarious! Happy belated birthday Beff! We love you! Also they found out that they are having a little boy! We are excited for them. And soon to find out what they are having is my brother Billy and his cute wife Jacee. I love having all of these babies in the family. It is tons of fun.

Well hopefully we will have something fun and exciting to post about soon. It could happen :) Until then, I'm sorry about my boring blog! I keep my eyes open for something to blog about.

More pics from my last day...

I know that this may be boring for some of you but I just wanted to post some more pictures from my last day at work April 15th. Some of the girls that day went with me to have lunch at Tasty's for a final time together. Of course it was tons of fun! Oh and YUMMY!

Oh and you may notice I got BANGS! Seriously. Ok a little background on me and my hair. At the age of 7 my hair was down to my butt, in 5th grade I got rid of my bangs, in 8th grade I chopped my hair to the "A-line style" and cried for days. I really looked horrible. From that day forward I grew my hair long and it's been long since 9th grade. I didn't start coloring or highlighting my hair until I was a freshman in college. So as you can see, I've never been very daring with my hair and it has pretty much been the same forever. Yeah I'd add layers every few years then take them away but the bangs weriously is the biggest thing to hit my hair for years now! So let me know what you think. They are long enough to pin back so sometimes I do. These pictures are the first day I had them so I'll get use to doing them and stuff.

Me and Dr. Steve - he really didn't want to take this picture

Oh and for those of you who have asked, I am currently unemployed :) And very happy to be! It may change shortly so I'll keep you posted. If I work agian it will be from home.

Dr. Bruce and Steve Howard's Office...this is Julianne...

That's right, I am shooting this gun!

Coworkers: Melissa, Tori and Debbie

So the title of this post is something I have said what seems like a thousand times a day for the past 2 years and as of last Tuesday I will no longer be saying that! That's right I quit working at the dental office. Sorry it has taken me so long to post, I actually have a lot to post about but have just been busy. So first things first, a post dedicated to the best job I have ever had and saying goodbye to the girls I will miss so much! The week before my last day we had a scheduled "team retreat". For this we close the office and usually do something as a team, whether it be something fun or CPR certification, or whatever the Dr. wants; then we usually go to lunch. Well this was the funnest team retreat I had been to since I worked there. Dr. Howard is a big outdoors man, loves to hunt, fish, camp, anything. So he decided he wanted to take all of us girls to a shooting range. Most of the girls had never shot a gun, including me. So we headed up to Bountiful, above the "B" and got started. The only bad thing is that once we got up there it started snowing so we were FREEZING! Being girls, we didn't dress real apropriate but we stuck through it and learned to shoot. It was so fun! I was able to shoot 7 different guns, my favorite being 9 mm gun. It was the most powerful of the ones that he brought with him.

Me shooting another gun..yes it was freezing!
Coworker Nikki, she was freezing so she took Dr. Howard's jacket

After shooting we headed to lunch. The lunch was supposed to also be my "goodbye lunch" so we were going to go to Tepanyaki but it didn't open until 3:00. So instead we headed over to Braza Grill. It was good and tons of fun! That was the end of the day. It actually made me really sad to be leaving. Working at that office was such a blessing so many ways. We were ALWAYS laughing and always having fun. I made some of the best friends ever and will miss them so much!! Thanks to Dr. Howard for the wonderful job! And thanks to all you girls for for friendships, I hope we can keep in touch. I will miss our talks, stories, and laughs! I love you all!

Me and Becky!

The Wii!

Brack and I had not had the wonderful privilege of experiencing the Nintendo Wii until this past weekend. We were able to hang out with our good friends Roz and Drew. We had a delicious dinner at Famous Dave's restaurant, where Brack and Drew enjoyed some serious Devil's Spit BBQ sauce. Then we headed back the the Hill's home and made some wonderful malts. They were so YUMMY! I would recommend this as a weekend treat anytime!

Finally we enjoyed some serious Wii action. We started with a little bowling, then some tennis and the boys finished off with baseball. It was intense. It seriously is really fun and gives your arms a little workout. It's sad to admit but my arm was seriously sore the next day from tennis. I am not the best at the game but I had a ton of fun. Brack and Drew started in on some dance moves and got quite into it. It was tons of fun.

Thanks for having us over Roz and Drew! We loved hanging out with you guys and had TONS of fun! We need to do it again soon!

Brody's Birthday!

BIRTHDAY BOY!

Cute Little Brody just before enjoying his cake!


This weekend we were able to spend time with my family. My nephew Brody turned one year old! My sister Kris came up with her three kids, Jacob (7), Emma (5) and Peter (10 months). It is always fun for Brack and I to play with our neices and nephews. They all love Bracken to death and think he is just a big jungle gym. My sister actually came up to spend the night at my parents on Friday so we went over for pizza and a movie with the kids. We watched ENCHANTED! What a cute movie! We really liked it and of course Emma loved every second of it. The next morning was Brody's party. I just can't believe he is one! We had lunch, opened presents and ate cake! Brody is always fun to be around. All in all we had a fun family weekend. Later on Saturday we went to Brack's parents house and he played a little basketball with his brothers. I didn't take pictures but I should have. They always have fun playing basketball, it's one of my favorite things to watch.

Cute Peter!



We also had a nice Easter Sunday. The Easter bunny didn't come to our house because as Brack put it "we had a pre-game Easter." We got a little excited about the Easter candy being out and bought it and ate it a little early. Sunday our good friends Blake and Liz Bentley blessed their cute little boy Andrew. We are so grateful that they invited us to be there on that special day for them. He is such a cute baby!!! And to finish off Easter we went to my parents for a nice Easter dinner. Such a good day! We are loving this warm weather and don't want it to change!




These are our FAVORITE easter treats! YUM!

Happy Birthday Jacee!

Another happy birthday wish needs to go out today! My cute sister-in-law Jacee has her birthday today! We just want to tell you Happy Birthday! We miss you! We hope you have a wonderful day and that "all of your wildest dreams will come true!" We love you!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Ok so I'm one day late but i just wanted to tell my mom Happy Birthday! She is a great mother, a great grandmother, a hard worker, she loves the Lord and always puts her family first in her life. Thank you for all that you have done for us, we are truly very grateful for you! You are such a beautiful person on the inside and out. And just like my sister Natalie said, I also just hope I can be as good of a mother as you have been to me! I hope you know how loved you are! I love you!
