The Young Life

Catch up

2012-01-18T18:35:00.004-06:00

Just a little bit has changed in the Young house since I last blogged :)

We LOVE LOVE LOVE our sweet little Ace!

He is the coolest little guy in the whole world and he brings so much joy and laughter to our lives.

I will post some pictures of Christmas 2011 but the others still need to be downloaded off our other computer (we crossed over to the Mac side...), so things will be a bit out of order I'm afraid.

Wow, I have some catching up to do!

Our last post was January 2010! We've had a great year here in Vegas. And the coolest thing yet is the upcoming arrival of our little Ace Jacob! So here are some highlights of the year (unfortunately in no particular order--I need to spend some time figuring out this blogger :)).

Helicopter ride Jason enjoyed a lot more than his wife did

We had so much fun in Kauai...even with me Cortney being slightly (well okay very) ill due to sweet little Ace.

Valentine's weekend with the Young's at the Brazilian steakhouse

Amazingly gorgeous Phoenix baby shower
LOVED my Lady Tomahawks Vegas brunch shower...lovely ladies and yummy food.

Ace's first picture!

Jason took a trip to Isreal for "work"

We love taking the Ferrari out to dinner in Summerlin

Le Reve--0ur favorite Vegas show so far

A few highlights of the past couple months...

Saying goodbye to all the things we loved in Florida...the boat, beach and great friends

After a road-trip across the U.S., we hopped on a plane to celebrate an early Christmas in Maui

Then back to Phoenix for more Christmas celebrations

And finally fun with Jason's Ferrari

Las Vegas!

2010-01-31T23:18:00.005-06:00

We are now settling down in Las Vegas (if that's possible in this city) and are enjoying our house, jobs and being close to family!

Long time

2009-09-07T06:58:00.004-05:00

So, it's been an embarrassingly long time since I've written a new post! Yeah, no excuse really. Things must be busier or something I guess! Anyway we are off to do some early morning wakeboarding/skiing on this Labor Day. I will try to write more soon. But since we've had some computer crashing issues and computers switching rooms (the main computer is now in the theater room) all the pictures are difficult to find. So I'll soon upload a flip video titled, "Meatball eating a meatball".

Kiteboard

2009-01-28T13:16:00.005-06:00

Here is the first recorded episode of Jason's kiteboard adventures! After his last escapade, when he admitted to somehow getting tangled up in the trees... he is not allowed to fly the kite alone. But today, we all (Meatball too) headed out to Whitepoint near our house where the winds were going strong. After he got his kite going good, he got on the board and took off! It was a fun way to spend our Wednesday afternoon off of work!

Kite kite kite!

Bear with me as I try to make a long story short! So I was wanting to surprise Jason with a gift for his promotion to Major. It was on my mind when he mentioned a pilot friend selling his kiteboard. My original instinct was to say "Oh no, that is way too dangerous" as he had not so long ago shown me a YouTube video of some poor kiteboarding person being carried up over 10 stories high. He reassured me that IF he was to ever kiteboard he would never attempt it in high winds. So, the wheels in my head starting turning, and before long I put the plans in place for the kite to show up on Jason's desk. When he saw it at work, he couldn't have been more surprised since I had convinced him I was totally against the whole deal. So, come to find out Destin has some perfect kiteboarding beaches. Jason is doing a great job learning the complicated and physically challenging process of kiteboarding. I meanwhile have been bundling up and learning to keep upwind from the immense kite!

September Fun

2008-09-28T20:52:00.010-05:00

Septembers in Florida are great! From Lex and Clark visiting us, to taking TIME OFF to go visit Apalachicola, to finally making our way down to Orlando for an amazing time with my mom and dad. OH yes... on the way back home we hit up the Kennedy Space Center and Daytona Beach. Due to a storm surge, we weren't able to experience cars driving on the beach but that didn't stop us from having a fun, relaxing end to our vacation week.

Summertime

2008-07-16T21:16:00.020-05:00

Summer in Florida has been relatively eventful so far! We started off having the opportunity to wakeboard in the midst of a dolphin pod.

Followed with lightning strike which downed a tree onto our roof. The 4th was really great, watching the show in Boggy Bayou with some squadron friends. And lastly, our trip to Pier Park in Panama City proved to be a fun way to spend a Wednesday off work!

Wakeboarding

2008-06-16T20:49:00.006-05:00

It's official...Jason and I are wakeboarding addicts. Well, I'm enjoying it thoroughly except for the nasty face-plant-whiplash-wipeouts. Jason is a crazy-maniac-180spinning machine! Meatball likes to come along and watch the show!

New beginnings

2008-04-30T17:52:00.000-05:00

2008 has been a year of "firsts". My first "real" job, first time to live at the beach, first boat, first wakeboard, first time to wakeboard, and first ever blog. After writing first a few times, it starts to look misspelled. Anyway, I just read my friend Jenny Brooks' blog and she is so witty... mine will always seem dull in comparison. And having a sister who can write her way out of a paper sack doesn't help my self esteem. But I thought it would be fun to try. Meatball is sitting here with me as I type, giving me a look that says "I love you no matter what anyone else says."
