So Long... FAREWELL!!

Yesterday I said my final goodbye's to my car..... HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!! I have had nothing but problems with it ever since it just decided to up and die on us as we were driving back into Vegas about 6 months ago. So we sold it (very happily) to Carmax! I AM FREE OF MY BURDEN!!!! If you can't tell I am so excited. We only have one car for the time being, but its no biggie... I work super close to home so Zack brings me to work and picks me up in the evening. So far so good (although it is only day 2 of this new arrangement) :O)

Just one word to the wise... DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER BUY A MITSUBISHI!!!! PLEASE! I PROMISE YOU WILL NEVER EVER REGRET IT!

Anyway, hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday!

To the love of my life.....

So 2 Sundays ago was our First Anniversary.... wow how time flies! We have had an amazing first year. I am so thankful for my amazing hubby, I love him so much! We had a great day together... we celebrated Saturday since the big day was on Sunday. I had a meeting in the morning and when I got back he told me to get ready and go get a peddi! I was so excited. I love to have my toes look cute! When I got back the house was spotless. And then I just couldn't wait to give him his gift... so we opened them a little early as well- we were both so excited we just couldn't wait! When I came downstairs he had got me the most beautiful flowers. And he is so good- he knows how much I dislike roses, so he looked and looked until he found something with no roses. (pics to come soon) So he opened his gift (new sunglasses ) And he said that because I gave him his big gift he would have to give me mine... So I opened up card #2 and inside was a sheet of paper. I opened it up and couldn't tell what it was. Then I saw it..... 2 tickets for the KINGS OF LEON!!!!!!!! I have wanted to see them in concert for so long. And I was so excited that he got the ticks for me. I had looked and looked to see if they were touring in Vegas and it wasn't on their listings. But they are coming and I can't wait!!!!! After that we went to SushiMon and had some amazing sushi then we went to the Movie. It was pretty much the best day ever!!! Mostly because I just got to spend the entire day with the perfect man.


I love you babe and can't wait for our eternity.... xoxoxoxox

"Come On"

So when Zack and I first moved into our ward we got the calling of Nursery Leaders. It was a really fun calling. And we definitely learn to love the kids that we taught each Sunday. Well, about 3 weeks ago we were released from our calling. And this last Sunday the cutest thing happened....

As we were leaving the chapel and on our way to Sunday School we ran into one of the little boys that we had in Nursery. Zack reached down and rubbed his head and said hi to him. Jay, the little boy, looked up at Zack with his big eyes and just stared for a second. Then he grabbed Zack's hand, and started leading him to Nursery. It was the cutest thing ever. I just walked behind them and was thinking... I can't wait till our own little one is grabbing his and and leading him to nursery. (not for a while tho :O) And then the cutest thing happened when he was trying to leave the nursery room... Jay looked up at Zack and said, "Come On". It was so adorable. He wouldn't go into Nursery unless Zack went in with him. So Zack went in and then after a second he snuck out. It was just so cute :O)

Time for an update....

So it has been brought to my attention (by a few good friends) that I have been a total blogging slacker! So I decided that I would update! Not much has been going on the last little while. We have just been going and doing and livin life to the fullest.


So, here is a little of what we have been up to...


A little while ago we went home to Aurora to help my grandparents do a little spring cleaning. It was so much fun. I honestly do not know how many of us were there, but I will say at least 30 of us?? And I have to say thanks to my cousin Mis because I stole these pics of her blog. Thanks Mis :O)

The boys worked outside and the girls stayed inside. This pic is of the boys cuttin down the trees. In this pic is my Grandpa, my brother Nathan and my wonderful Hubby on the ground. And yes, my Dad up in the tree.. always a kid at heart :O)



Yup, my dad is CrAzY!!!! He climbed up this tree to cut off the branches. And the wind was blowing SO HARD!! I walked out just to see what was going on and there was my dad, up in this big tree, swaying back and forth as the wind was blowin. Gotta love him!!!

I was in charge of cooking lunch. Well, the onions didn't agree with me. I don't think I have EVER cut onions that made me cry like they did this time. My eyes were watering so hard I had to go outside. From the looks of the tears that were streaming down my face you would have thought I had lost a loved one!

Me and my Grandma Ginny getting the clothes of the line... love ya Grandma :O)

The week after our trip home we went to Cedar City because my big Bro Lando graduated from SUU. It was s great weekend!!!

This is the Big Graduate :O)

Cute Sam (with baby Summer) Lando and Me and Zack


Memorial Day weekend we went our friends Drew and Loke and their kiddos Bela and Ty to their time share to swim in the pool! We had a FAB time!

Bela and Zack chillin by the pool

Ty, chillin on his floaty. He loved the water. In fact he started to get a little cold and his lips started to shiver, but he didn't want to get out of the water.


This last Sunday I was so excited to have a visit from one of my best friends, Penny. She looked absolutely beautiful with her cute baby belly. (She did threaten me that if she looked "bad" in this pic she would be upset with me) So I think she looks great in this pic!!! I hope you like it too Pen :O)

Anyway, that is a little of what has been happenin in our lives! Nothing great, or extravagant, just our wonderful lives. Just how we like it :O)

O Suga!!!!

So I have really been slacking when it comes to blogging!! We have had a fun, busy, last few weeks. The last weekend in February we went to Cedar and stayed with Landon and Sam. We went boarding for the first and last time for the season :O( We are both super bummed that we haven't been able to go more. Especially me because I finally learned how to actually board, and not just plow down the hill :O)

The weekend after that my Parents and Landon and Sam came down for the weekend to visit. It was so much fun to have them here. I always love having family around. My parents are just so wonderful!! They always make everything so much fun. We had given my parents a gift certificate to the BEST sushi place for Christmas- so they came down to use it up. We ate SO much sushi... but boy was it delish!!!

Other than that it has just been work for us! I am still super busy and overloaded with my new position. It is a challenge, but I love a challenge. :O)

Other than that I have been busy baking. I have always loved to bake... and I have been trying a lot of new things. One thing that I have made a lot of (too much if you ask my hubby) are Oreo Truffles. They are so dang good, and so so so easy to make. They are so addicting... here are some pics of them

I have always wanted to be able to decorate cakes... my mom always would make me the cutest cake for my birthday. It was ALWAYS a double decker heart shaped cake with the most amazing lemon flavored icing!!! ( just talking about it makes me want some) My mom was so great at decorating. And I always thought it looked like so much fun. So I decided to try it out. This was my first double cake ever. It was a little lopsided, that's why the icing is how it is. But it was so YUMMY!!! I am planning on making my friend's daughter's birthday cake in a few weeks, so I will need to do a little more practicing!

And my all time favorite to bake is sugar cookies. This year I went to my friend Loke's house and made cookies with her and her adorable little girl McKayla (she is going to be the birthday girl) After a whole day of baking cookies and miniature cheesecakes, making Oreo truffles and then decorating the cookies we were all tuckered out. But it was so yummy, and so much fun.
