It's Halloween Time

Our Little Lilly as a Lady Bug

She hates that I make her dress up

We started the celebrations early this year at the Couch's with a scary movie (which I couldn't watch any of), some yummy snacks and some great pumpkin cravings.

Thanks guys! We had such a great time.

Little Pirate Ben

Brady almost finished with his masterpiece.

From Left to Right (Jon's, Jason's, Brady's, Mine, Jon Haynie's)

They all turned out so great!

Next on our Halloween schedule was our ward Harvest Party

Here are some of my young women setting up games for the party. The young men and women were in charge of games and did a great job!

All of the little ones had the cutest costumes ever!

We had appearances by one of snow whites dwarfs,

Little fairies and lady bugs,

And even a fire fighter!

Brady was a good sport and played the Whip Cream Mystery game.

The donut on the string game was very popular and really funny.

After the ward party we came home and got ready for a party at the Woolwine's

Some muslin from my school supply was put to good use:) The costumes must have been good because we were scaring Lilly.

The Fun Ship

Brady and I were lucky enough to go on a cruise this past break. It was so nice to get away and relax in the sunshine:) This was our first cruise and we LOVED it!

We were a little excited:)

While waiting to depart from Long Beach we helped ourselves to a little mini golf.

Our first port was Catalina.

I love this little beach town! It was so much fun walking around and seeing all the sights.

I love sea otters:)

"Del Sol Me Baby" was what we were suppose to say to get these free cool color changing rings, but the girls just gave them to us.

Our Second Port was Ensenada Mexico.

This is one of the largest flags in Mexico.

On our way to the El Bufadora we walked through the open air market.

We even found some church historical paintings:)

How great is this picture!

We had to splurge just once.

"Living the life of Riley"

Every night we were greeted by a new friend in our room.

Waterskiing at the Slough

We were lucky enough to be invited by the Jergensen's to go water skiing up at the slough. It was amazing water and weather. We had such a great time skiing until sunset, watching Ryan barefoot ( so crazy!) Thanks again guys for such a great time:)

Us and the Jergensen's

This is Brady skiing with an amazing sunset in the background.

This is Ryan barefooting. I have never seen it before. It was so crazy!

This is me skiing, sorry Brady missed my back flip;)

Oakland Temple

A month or so ago Brady and I went to the Oakland temple with some of our friends the Haynie's. It was such a beautiful day to go to the temple. We went to a later session, so by the time we were finished the sun was setting and we were able to see the skyline of San Francisco with the prettiest sunset in the background.

Happy Fourth of July

Happy 4th of July!

Brady and I had such a fun Independence Day. We went up to the Spruces in Big Cottonwood Canyon and had a BBQ with my family. We had delicious hamburgers, potato salad, and smores:) After lunch we went and played a little game of baseball with everyone. The field was a little over grown with itchy grass, but we still had such a good time. Our team the "Dominators" won. We went to Jordan High to watch fireworks and came home and lit some of our own. We are so grateful to live in this country that has so many blessings.

Moo, Brady, and Lou enjoying the shade.

My sweet Gram and Mario

Ty is finally home after living in Seattle for the past 6 years. We are happy you're home:)

I love this man!

2 Years

2 years goes by when you're having fun:)

Brady and I have been married two years on June 29th. We are vacationing in North Carolina for Blake's graduation. To celebrate our anniversary we relaxed on the beach, boggie boarded in the ocean, and went to see the new transformer movie. I know we are very romantic:). We had such a great day! I love you so much Brady! Thanks for being such an amazing husband.

Happy Birthday to ME!

June 18^th was my special day!

I had such a GREAT birthday! I just want to say thank you sooooo much to all my family and friends for my great gifts and birthday wishes. I started the day by waking up to cute birthday streamers in my room put up by my cute husband. Then Brady and I went to this great little restaurant by our house for breakfast. They make the BEST hash browns! After breakfast I had to come home and get ready to go to school. I had my last final on my birthday. Good news is that I did really well on it! Also my friend Niki in my class made me the best cupcakes and my class sang happy birthday. When I got home from school and got to open a whole bunch of presents! Then Brady and I got ready and went to dinner at a little cute Italian restaurant in West Portal called Spiazzo’s. After dinner we went to see WICKED! It was AMAZING! I’m so happy we went. (Brady and I are in Utah and I forgot our camera, so pictures of my great day will have to follow a little latter) Really I had such a great birthday.
