Ryan's Birthday in St. George

So, we decided to go to St. George last weekend since it was supposed to be cold and rainy here last weekend. We even heard reports of snow but that was never verified. So, Friday afternoon we left work early and drove to St. George, it was pretty nice when we got there sunny and in the 70's. We ate at the Texas Road house (they have the best rolls ever) we usually will share a meal and just stuff ourselves with them. Then we headed over to Ryan's sister house which they had just moved into which was super nice and that they got it for almost 50% off. It makes me kick myself that we bought when we did if only we had waited 6 months. Anyways...Saturday morning we woke to a somewhat cooler windier day. We decided to go hiking anyways up Snow Canyon. It was a pretty nice hike but we had to cut it short as we got rained out. (The only time it rained for the rest of the day of course). Then we ate lunch at this little coffee shop place and it was so delicious they had the best italian cream sodas ever. Then we went to the Rec Center and played some raquetball and then met up with his family there and played Walleyball. My first experience with the game. Hard to get used to cause its kinda like volleyball but different. My main complaint with Walleyball and Volleyball is that when I hit the ball with my arms, I can't remember the correct term, not setting but something else, it kills my arm and they are red for like hours afterward. But its definitly easier than Volleyball for me. That night we had dinner with Ryan's family and watched the Jazz lose terribly to the Lakers and then the two of us went hot tubbing . I may not have mentioned before that me and Ryan are now doing the famed P90X work out program for the next 90 days so we will be ready for the summer and our vacation (not yet decided on).. So this program is pretty intense, so sunday morning when I woke up I was so sore from the P90X and a Saturday full of physical activity . I still managed to make it to the pool of course (where I got sunburned) which made for an even more sore/uncomfortable sunday night.

I thought these were so cool, I never knew cactuses could grow cute pink flowers.

Another nature pic from our hike, I never think to take those kind of pics but Ryan is really good at them.
Ryan trying to blow out his candles (he thought they were the trick ones- but they weren't) I can't talk of course since I will have even more candles on b-day cake this year.
