"The Gardens"

Shawn and I went to the "Thanksgiving Point Gardens"
last night. We had a total Blast! Walking through and seeing all the flowers is amazing! I'm still amazed sometimes with how beautiful Heavenly Father has made this world for us. They say that this cluster of waterfalls if the largest in the U.S.A. Pretty cool, hu?










I found a moose and I wasn't scared at all!


Up close to some of the waterfalls. Aren't they so pretty!!!

Shawn asked if I wanted to swim in them but, I said I thought I wouldn't this time.
Are not these flowers soo beautiful?!!!
Now starts the photo shoot of the evening! The people who saw us there thought we were Crazy! It was so much fun just being silly!










HOT Stuff!














"Mmmmm!"





















Too bad we're way too short to models. Because... Wow! LOL

The Open Road




There is something addicting about driving down the road with no restictions, just you the open road and the wind blowing through your hair. It was a rush I experienced in high school from riding some of my friends motorcycles that has stayed with me ever since. If you don't know the feeling I'm talking about you have never experinced the "Open Road". So with that in mind I'm happy to let you all know that I'm now a proud owner of a motorcycle. It's a 2007 650cc suzuki Boulavard S40. The decision to get one came after years of yearning, longing and lots of negotiation with Sally, and taking in consideration recent gas prices we finally got one. So to Sally, Thanks. To all those wives out there discussing bike purchases with your husbands give thier boyhood dreams a reality and let them enjoy the "Open Road".
