Just Because

Aaron is sleeping and I'm bored. We're SUPPOSED TO go to gecko grill. So I will update you with our OH SO EXCITING lives.....
So picture above.
it's true. I'm a BELIEBER now. We went and saw NEVER SAY NEVER the Justin Bieber movie. Sadly enough this was ALL of our FIRST 3D movie.
But, the movie was so good I'd see it again for the 2nd time if you want me to join. That kid is so cute and the little girls cry over him so adorably.
Much like we did for New Kids on the Block....

SOOOOOO as awesome as we are... that next Tuesday/Wednesday it was the BIEBS, John Bon Jovi and Dr. Seuss birthday so, we decided, naturally, we need to celebrate. We listened to Justin on the way and Bon Jovi on the way home while Aud was sporting her Seuss shirt!
And where are we you may ask?
CAKES BY APRIL ACROSS FROM SAN TAN MALL. Go there or be a loser.
Askins girls goal: to have the front worker boy NOT know our name cuz we need to stop going there.

On to a totally different note:

I'm training. Because I'm running the full marathon in San Diego. I have been running hills.

These buns better be made of steel when I'm done.

We have been eating a lot of soup. My poor husband, because, let's be honest, who eats soup and gets super full? And who eats soup and doesn't feel poor?

This is totally on my TV right now and I love this movie.

One Monday morning I didn't have to work so we decided to hike Camelback! We hiked it really fast, I was super impressed. The weather?

PERFECT.

Summer, please come and be nice to us....

After our hiking extravaganza. Wanna know the best part, it has to do with food, naturally. On our way there we realized we didn't have any water and for some reason only place we could find near by was a Paradise Bakery. SO, 3 water bottles later we hiked and at the top we ate our 4 cookies. FATTYS!!!!!!

For those of you who have never hiked Camelback, the houses are SUPER nice. Much like where Aaron and I live right now (wink, wink). So here is a patio and Aaron is convinced these people are getting rid of this couch.

reasons why I know this is not so

1-we're not in a ghetto community where you put your old belongings on the side of the road

2- the couch is much, much, much nicer than ours-who would give it away

3- maybe they have a huge patio and want a super nice couch?

Kelly was in town for a bachelorette party. We met up. Time had not passed cuz she is Kelly.

MOVE BACK! Tell Zack who needs a job anyway!

One Saturday we headed down to the Ranch area and went shooting with the family.

I guess I haven't been in that area in forever because I didn't even know this little rock slab existed.

I miss my Papa. Both of them. And my Nana. I think about them everyday. A lot, to where I wonder if it's normal.

Putting the sentimental crap aside, I suck at shooting. I do not have very good aim. Once upon a time when I had big worries it was my New Year's resolution. Never succeeded.

The gang. So good to see family. Wish more came, let's get together SOON family!

Speaking of Justin Bieber, I have a cousin that LOOKS identical to him. (a little cuter though) WILL PALMER. And the Askins girls (and now Aaron) just love him.

Sissys forever.

Aud was at a birthday party that was a dance class.

We missed her, but she had her priorities in place.

Because my mom's cousin tony is my favorite i took this picture.

So this is Sara. She is not my cousin. She is in Eric's band. She is wearing a skirt.

And she was the best shooter there.

Look at the BAD A gun she is holding.

Linda and Gerald

The girls with Tony and Will.

Side note: Tony's bandanna is totally a fake. Real bandanna, fake hair.

Side note again: Aaron did come, but he got stuck taking all of the pictures. And, of course he was an awesome shooter.

What is he NOT awesome at?

Let's be honest again, I am so excited for mountain man to be over this next weekend so Aaron can finally shave his beard.

I love stubble. Beard? not a fan.

Welp, that's it folks. Here I am bakin' in my humongous kitchen that I have so much room in that I actually have TOO MUCH room.

i lie.

Aaron's awake! Time for geck grill! Yee-haw!

Just because I'm bored and Aaron is taking a nap. I want him to wake up so we can go to GECKO GRILL. ASAP.
