We ate lunch at Tucanos which is always DELICIOUS!! And I think we saw a movie? haha can't remember now...!



My mom had these old school cake toppers and Johnny wanted this one haha.

Johnny graduated from SLCC this last spring. SO proud of him.
Some of the highlights of his graduation:
- The guy from Supersize me spoke, he was pretty durn funny!
- 2 of my cousins graduated with Johnny, it was fun to see them
- The people announcing the graduates names sounding like they were announcing for a boxing match, pretty funny.
All in all it was a great night and I am so proud of my hubby!

Extreme Couponing

Extreme Couponing
TLC

Have you ever watched this show? It's INTENSE.

Now I know I could NEVER be as intense as the men and women on this show, but it makes me think. Can coupons really make you save that much? I feel like I only use coupons for ziploc bags and cereal. Maybe I just need to try harder!

I don't want to be EXTREME. However, I do want to try harder!

Saturday was SUPER busy for Johnny and me. We slept in til bout 9:30 awww so nice. Went shopping for Momma's Day and for lil Rorie's 1st bday! Maura had her apartment decorated so cute with a jungle background and yummy monkey cupcakes!  After the little party we went with them to the Zoo. I haven't been there for like 5+ years so it was fun! (pictures soon to come) After the Zoo we went Mini Golfing with Cami & Christopher..so much fun! I am sure going to miss them when the leave me for Law School! Johnny: FOUR hole-in-ones...Chris: 3 hole-in-ones...Cami: 1 hole-in-one..Beth: 1 that decided to jump out of the freaking hole..so NONE for me :( Sadness.  After Mulli's we made our way to the theater to see THOR...SO GOOD!

NETFLIX: The Switch

So this week we Netflixed "The Switch" I know it got horrible reviews. BUT I liked it. Its just a normal chick flick, nothing spectacular like The Notebook (I will always love this movie) but it was good. I give it:
3 stars.
***

The Switch Poster

Here is the synopsis for those of you who don't watch trailors or tv in your free time :)

An unmarried 40-year-old woman turns to a turkey baster in order to become pregnant. Seven years later, she reunites with her best friend, who has been living with a secret: he replaced her preferred sperm sample with his own.



Our next NetFlix is "The Invention of Lying".  I have heard mixed reviews bout that one... PS If you don't have NetFlix...YOU NEED IT!!!

Raspberry Coke

So went to Jordan Commons of the weekend and saw some movies...however the movies are not the highlight of this post...the new coke dispenser thingy is awesome!!!



It has a touch screen of all the general drinks. So like if you clicked on Coke it would open up a new screen with different flavors of Coke...which is how I discovered Raspbery Coke...YUM!!! 

So they have one of these at Jordan Commons, Cafe Rio Downtown...and one other place that I know of I just can't remember...

Flow Rida Vaca

Johnny and I went on a vacation with my parents and my bro Roury.  So to start off, Johnny and I drove down to St. George to pic up Roury. Then we were off to VEGAS. (we flew out from Vegas because it was way cheaper)
We went to the casino at New York New York and went to the Sports food place...can't remember what its called but I know it isn't ESPN Zone.  We hung out there for awhile and it was cool because all the games were free!  So ofcourse the boys wanted to go the football game first :)


After an hour or so there we drove to the airport for our lovely flight! It wasn't too bad since it was a red eye..I got a little bit of sleep.

So the parentals arrived in Florida the day before us. So pops came to the airport to pick us up at 7 in the mornin!  So kind of him.  Then we all crashed for like 6 hours haha. 

We started our adventures at EPCOT which I learned is an acronym for "Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow"  I haven't been there since I was a little kid and back then it was BORING.  But this time around it as alot of fun!  So we went on this space ride simulator thingy.  There are two options. Green and Orange.  Here is some advice..DON'T GO ON ORANGE. Trust me.  It starts off blasting off from earth.  And no joke I could feel my blood rushing through my body, and I knew this wasn't going to be fun.  The rest of the ride just got worse from there.  It's not like 'Back to the Future' where if you just closed your eyes you would be fine.  On this ride closing your eyes just made it WORSE.  When we got off all three of us wanted to die haha. 
Here are some more pictures from Epcot.




This was a model of a space control thingy haha. (this was shown while we were waiting in line for the space simulator)



This was a really yummy restaraunt, San Angel Inn.  It reminded me alot of the Blue Bayou because there is a water ride that through it like Pirates of the Caribbean.


This lovely troll was at a store after we got off some sort of Norweigan ride. 

I thought these were so cute! Its all made out of flowers.  They had them everywhere of different characters!
This duck had no fear! Probably the closest I have ever been to a duck...

AND NOW...

THE MOMENT YOU ALL...

HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR...


THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER


So the first thing we did was go on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.  The line was too bad only about an hour wait!  The ride is AWESOME!!! If you have ever been on the Amazing Spiderman ride at Islands of Adventure, its kinda like that.  You are on a moving track.  So its not like Back to the Future or the Simpsons Ride.  Some parts there is a screen in front of you and then some times there are real physical things on front of you.  Dragons spitting fire, Spiders spitting venom, Dementors sucking out your soul! haha. We loved it! We went on it 3 times.  Here are some pics of the castle and the queue to the ride...








Everyone was taking a picture right here before they entered the castle...






The Mirror of Erised



So after the ride we decided to get some Butterbeer! SOOOO delicious.  Its hard to describe, its like mix of butterscotch, cream soda, and whipped cream on top.  Also, frozen butterbeer is way good.  We also got some Pumpkin Juice!  Its a mix of like pumpkin juice, apricot juice, and orange juice.







We ate dinner at the 3 broomsticks and it was delicious!


Hog's Head...you can also get butterbeer here and the line isn't long at all. 


Next on our list was Ollivander's wand shop.  The line to GET INTO the store 1 hour long. Fabulous. But we really really wanted our wands :)

I know its hard to see...but here is the little skit they do. They picked these two little boys. (I wished it was me) He did the whole thing like how it was when it was Harry's first time getting a wand.  Pretty fun shtuff!

Well I hoped you enjoyed this! I will be putting more pictures on facebook of the rest of the pictures fom HP and from the rest of our trip. (because I hate how you can only download one picture at a time on here)
