I have been a horrible blogger lately so beware for a picture overload!! The holidays have been great and I have more than needed the time off! My grandpa Arch passed away on Decemeber 5th. He was really sick for the past year and a half and was out at Kolob. We were so thankful for the time we were able to spend with him before he passed. We are so grateful for all the love and support our family has received. Laci and Bladen were able to fly in for the funeral. Laci had to go back to work for a week before her and Nate flew in, so Bladen got to stay here with us! Here is what we have been up to:

Every Christmas my dad takes us all out snowmobiling.... it was Tyler's first time!

Me and Tyler on our snowmobilesMe and Laci (I'm in the green coat... it's hard to tell who is who.. we all look like marshmellows!)

He thought he was doing pretty good..

We had a little accident about half way through our ride... well I should say I had a little accident! I was going up an awkward/steep hill and was leaning all my weight over so I wouldn't tip and my weight wasn't enough and I rolled. Thank heavens it threw me off far enough so my leg didn't get caught and ripped to pieces! Everyone came running when they saw smoke... they thought I died.... I was more worried about the snowmobile!! Thank heavens my dad knows how to fix these things! I don't know what we would have done without him there!! This is a picture of me in the background sitting in the snow half shocked and half in tears..

Observing the damage...

Not happy... thanks for snapping a pic Nate!! :)

This is the day after Christmas getting ready to go hangout with Marlee, Lindsey and Zoe!

Baby Shower & *NitRo cIrCuS*

A couple weekends ago it was Janelle's baby shower! She is so cute and I can't wait to see her little one!
This weekend we went up north for the weekend. On Saturday we went to the Nitro Circus! It was really fun and there was a ton of people there! To open the show they had 4 guys parachute in down to the track. Travis Pastrana was the star of the show! It took me back to the old days when I use to go all the time with my family!

It was freezing.... I'm so not ready for this cold weather!!!

Rodeo

Tyler is FINALLY home from summer! We have done some fun things since he has been home but I have been really bad at taking pictures!! A few weekends ago we went up to Austin and Annie's cabin and stayed the weekend with some friends! We just relaxed, ate a lot of food, played games, and went on a couple rides. I have been really busy with school, everyone was right when they said your first year is stressful!! But I love it and I love my little kiddos!

This past weekend Tyson and Lana came down and stayed with us! On Friday night we went to the Dixie Round Up. Here is all of us minus Tyson and Lana, they weren't there yet!

On Saturday, my mom came down so all the girls went shopping while the boys went golfing. That night we went to dinner to watch the Utes game then to a movie!

Sara's Baby Shower

Last week it was Sara's baby shower! I love seeing all my friends, I realize how much I miss them! I am so happy for Sara and all my other cute prego friends :) Love you girls!!

Happy 2 years to us!

Me and Tyler have been married 2 years on August 2nd! I know, where has the time gone?! It doesn't seem like that long! It was kind of a sad day for me because we were a couple thousand miles away, but at least we got to celebrate it when I went back and visited him in July! We went downtown and got a hotel at the historic district then we went and had a fancy dinner at a place called Oceanaire. It was pretty hilarious because Tyler ordered steak and shrimp and when they brought it out there was like 4 strips of steak and like 3 shrimp all pretty on the plate! We were DYING! Not much for a lot of money! haha. The next day we went and got a couples massage, which was another hilarious thing that happened that I will never forget... I'm still sore from what those little chinese women did to me!! I was so glad I was able to go back and see him, it's been a hard summer not seeing him!

The view from our hotel! It was so pretty, the picture doesn't do it justice

This is a picture of what our view was

This was the day of our "real" anniversary. He's so sweet and suprised me with flowers:) Ashlee and my mom were nice enough to take me out on a date that night!

On Tuesday, me, my mom, Laur, and Kapri went down to St. George to Tuachan to see Cats! My grandma ushers there so she got us a great deal! Before we went to the play we went shopping and of course went and ate at Olive Garden! It was so much fun, even though it was still 100 degrees at 10pm! I want to go again to see Tarzan!

Old Dueteronomy. You could go up and get a picture with him during intermission

Haha..

I love summer and doing fun things like this! I can't believe I start school in less than 2 weeks!!

Last days in Cedar!

Laci and Bladen's last days in Cedar were pretty sad! I did NOT want them to leave! It was so great being able to see them for over 2 months straight!! We took Bladen to the Lake of the Hills so he could fish. He was so excited, too bad we didn't catch anything! He loves hanging out with the Harris' so it was fun to have them there!
Here is a picture of him and his little buddy, Kapri
Me, with my Barbie fishing pole!

Throwing poppers

After spending so much time with them, I don't know how I go months without seeing them! We had so much fun together and made some great memories this summer that I will never forget! I flew home with them so I could spend some time with Tyler before I had to come back for school to get my classroom ready... That post of my time there will be coming soon..

4th of July Weekend!

This past week was a busy week! We went to the lake camping and then went straight up to Cedar mountain camping! We had so much fun at the lake swimming and playing in the sand. We had the Bulloch's come one night and swam with all the cousins and had hobo dinners. When we went up to the mountain it was a lot cooler than Sand Hollow! We had fun riding 4-wheelers and making smores!

Unloading the prowler at the lake..scary! :)
