MOOOOOOOOOOO AB

The weekend that Scott and Amberlee had their reception, we took the opportunity to live it up in Moab.  By we I mean I tagged along with Dolly and Travis and their family.  It was a lot of fun!

The first place we stopped when we got to Moab was the Sand Arch!

Sunscreen + 3 yr old boy + lots of sand =

 This boy thought it was the most fun he had ever had. 

 Just flowers on the trail.

 The happiest girl in the whole wide world.

 The girls

That afternoon, we went to the wedding reception.  It was so pretty.  Amberlee is gorgeous!

!?

 BTW did I mention I cut my hair off?  I'll included more on that at the bottom.

 The sisters. Where were the sister in laws?

Hiking to Delicate Arch

 Oh, just doin an arch at the arch...

Ta-Da! Here I am!

They are both so tough! Guys kept giving Dolly props for carrying a baby all the way to the top! 

 Okay, Milt's diner was SOOOO good.  Jalepeno chicken sandwhich!  SO so good!

 Flowers

Sunday afternoon, with Brian and Melissa, we hiked all the way to this little waterfall.  We only had to cross the stream like 7 times!  It was really fun. 

All in all it was a good weekend!  

Just a side note, Here I am after I cut over 10 inches off my hair!   I'm still getting used to it.  Admittedly, I don't like it.  I did the short hair thing for a long time and liked it, but I loved the long hair thing and miss my locks!  Good thing is, hair does grow back!  So, not the end of the world. 

 Donated to locks of love on May 10th!  Dad's birthday!  Love you Dad!

Heeeeeey, I DID IT, I really did it!

OH MY GOSH!
Yup, that is me.
I, Alycen Fielding, graduated.
From a big school. 
They even gave me that great, construction orange cord to wear around my neck to brag about my GPA. 
Ya, it felt so good.  Apparently when they handed out the diploma covers during the ceremony I was the only one to hug the department head.  I was THAT excited!

On the "A"

Old main hill

Thanks so much for coming up to support me.  It meant the world to me.

My friend Jannika was also able to come!  She is one of the sweetest people I know.  Thanks Jannika!

This is Dr. Sonia Manuel Dupont.  She is an incredible professor.  We had a class from her every semester except our very last.  She is amazing though.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!  I did it.  I really did it.   I DID IT!!!! YAY for me!

I know this was shameless bragging, but I never thought I would do it.  There were always so many hold ups and changes in direction, but it happened!  Yay!

Amberlee's Bridal Shower and Easter and other random April happenings

Alright, I have a lot of catching up to do, so the words will be brief, but hopefully the pictures will help!

So, several weeks ago we had a bridal shower for Amberlee at the house in Koosharem.  We are so excited to have her in the family!  She's a little quieter than the rest of us, but we've been trying to wear her down and now that she's part of the family, she's more sassy! : )

Sherry, Riyo and me

You guessed it, this was the risque part of the shower! :)

In true form! : )

And one with this little guy!

So for Easter we visited Dad's grave. Austin made these awesome stands to hang wreaths.  He is so creative!

Travis and Austin pounding in the stakes.  Brann and Riyo supervising.

Everyone else took family pictures, Mom and I were the only ones left!  We'll stick together!

My friend Michelle was in a Disney review and there was a big group of us that went to watch it.  Here we are before the show started!

So this picture might be my all time favorite!  Becca, in the middle, is a HUGE spaz, so the fact that I was able to out-spaz her made me feel like these 26 years of craziness has not been a waste.  Her face is priceless!

Brief, good, catchup, done!

But wait, There's more!

 SCOTT & AMBERLEE GOT MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're super excited!  ( I could insert jokes about how we never thought it might happen, but wait one second....) : )

 Melissa and I, she's always telling us to stick our chin out, so this is normally how it winds up! : ) Love you Melissa!

 Dolly and I.  Chin's slightly more relaxed!
Congrats Scottie and Amberlee!  I am so happy for you!
