D-land

Last week we were able to go to Disneyland with the Gurr's. We had so much fun going with the entire family (except Blake who is on a mission). The crowd was perfect, weather was perfect (except for it raining one morning), churros were delicious, rides were a blast. Thank you Loran and Dee for a fabulous trip we will never forget!!! Here are some highlights and a video Bryce made.

Summer

I cant believe summer has already come and gone. It went to fast. But we definatley had a fun summer! We were able to go to California and Utah all in one shot.

California- We went with the Gurrs. And it was a blast! It was my first time going to Coronado and it definatley wont be the last. We went to the beach, grilled, played games, talked, and played mintue to win it. I cant wait for next year. It cant come soon enough!




Utah- With the Anderson's. We love going to Utah. Its our home away from home. My parents have a cabin in Sundance. My entire family was able to be up there together! We went the Gardner Village, ate out, played games, hiked, biked and hung with family and friends! Such a fun trip!



We were also able to see our good friends Kelsey and Jake! We went to J Dawgs (delish). They were also able to come up and play Ticket to Ride and get in the jacuzzi! We cant wait to see them again!

MAY

May was a very busy month. It went by way to fast. Brandon and I were able to go to Idaho to watch my sister Jill's kids. We had so much fun. It was a ton of work, but definatley worth it! Thank goodness for her 4 page schedule or we would of died. Even though I made fun of her for it. It helped a TON. Our week consisted of: going to park, zoo, walks, watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, naps, bubbles, cars, dancing. It was such a blast! I was so sad to leave. BUT, definatley glad to be home. We are still recovering.
(Sorry for the bad quality of pictures. They were all taken with our phones.)




A few days after we got home from Idaho it was my birthday! That morning Brandon made me breakfast. Then we went to a movie and dinner. Then did a little shopping. And to top it all off Sunday and Monday our families did a little party me! It was a great weekend. Thank you everyone for making it so much fun!

Double Dream Feet

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

2 Years

I cant believe I havent done a post in 6 months. Thats sad. I also cant believe that I have been married for 2 years! Time flies. We sadly forgot our camera. But we were able to get away to Scottsdale for the weekend. We went to my favorite place to eat, Chessecake factory. Saw Brandons favorite movie, Fast Five. Then we did some shopping at Kierland Commons. It was a great weekend! Thank you so much Brandon for a wonderful 2 years! Cant wait for the years to come! I love you!

Mother Nature's Farm

A couple of weeks ago my brother and sister-in-law were down for a few days. So we decided to this cute pumpkin patch in honor of fall. They have hay rides, pumpkin decorating, face painting, etc. It was a blast! I will definatly be going next year.

Before & After

A couple of weeks ago we were driving to Brandon's parents house and Brandon saw this desk. So we pull over and ask this guy how much he wants to for. He said FREE! So we took and did a little makeover on it. It definatley needed it!

Before



After



Im not sure who Jacob is. But thank you for the desk. Its a great addition to our house!

FALL

In honor of fall I thought I would make some crafts to spice up the home. They took many hours but I think it was all worth it.



My mom did this many years ago in an enrichment activity. I have always loved it so I thought I would copy it. Brandon being the good sport he is cut out the wood! And I did the rest.



I thought this wreath was simple but very cute!

Holy Moly

I cant believe it's been almost 3 months since the last post! Holy cow time flies! Well its almost fall and our summer was a blast and very busy. We were able to go to Utah and California with my family. Then go to Brandon's families cabin for his brothers last trip before his mission! We finally were able to finish our front yard as well. Which looks awesome! Thank you to everyone for your help!

Welcome Home

It's been a busy month. We are finally in our house! We have had so much help moving boxes, unpacking, taping (for paint), painting, hanging up pictures, expanding our pantry, adding more storage, and putting final touches on our home. Thank you everyone for help we couldnt of done it without you! Here are some pictures of new home. It's not quite finished but we think its looking pretty cute so far.



























(thank you brittney for letting me borrow this cute idea)

1 Year

I cant believe it has already been 1 year!! Time flies! Last night Brandon surprised me with dinner and a hotel. It was so cute! He arranged for his sisters to set up a little candlelight dinner in our house... that is still under construction, he's so creative. He got me one of my favorite dinners from Joe's Farm Grill. It was delicious, Brandon and his sister's did an amazing job it was so much fun! Brandon is a sweet and thoughtful husband and I am so excited for the rest of our lives together!

Crafts

Lately I have been blog stalking craft blogs and i am now addicted to crafts! I am trying to come up with some cute ideas for my new house. So far these are just a few items. I still have to make 2 more pillows for our couch. Im not looking forward to that since this pillow was a pain in the butt making each flower then connecting them. Never again will I make this pillow. As I was looking through this blog tatertotsandjello I found these cute topiaries that looked pretty easy and fun! So this is my version of them! I thought they turned out pretty cute. To change the suject, our house is making a ton of progess. They painted and put cabinets and doors in. We are so excited and hope to be in it by May!!!!

Update

I am a horrible blogger. I really have no desire to blog right now! But I am forcing myself since this is my journal! It has a been a busy couple of months of traveling and building! At the end of January my sister Jill had her little baby boy. And I had the pleasure of going back to New York to help her with her two boys! It was hard work but it was definatley worth it! I had a blast! A couple weeks after that we went to Brandons family cabin for the weekend. Its so relaxing up there. Another week or so after that we went to Disneyland with my sister-in-law Heidi and her two little kids and that was so much fun! We were not ready to come home! Now its back to reality of work, school, and building our house! Which is coming along quite nicely!

Hard at Work

Brandon has been working his little heart out this Holiday season and suprised me with little gems!





These are going to make a cute addition to our new home! If you or anyone you know are interested in buying one of these items please let us know! Email me for pricing and any other questions.
