Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Arizona and stayed with my sister. We got in on Tuesday night-On Thursday morning, the boys woke up and went to play football.

Later, we went to my Aunt's house for dinner. It was a lot of fun seeing my cousins that I have not seen for awhile. We played Ping Pong all day-that game is fun and addicting!

We also played cards, Rock Band, and the boys played Madden. On Friday, we hung out with my cousin Mauri and her boyfriend Chase- we went down the the mill by ASU and walked around for a bit. After, we headed to Sonic for milkshakes and rented Angels & Demons. Saturday morning, my sister & I went to my cousin's wife baby shower. After, we headed back to my sister's to set up for her baby shower. We had lots of fun playing games and eating yummy food! My Uncle came over and made crepes. He is such a good cook!

Later that night we went to Bucca for dinner for my mom's Birthday. It was so much food, but so good! After dinner, Isaac & I went mini golfing with Mauri & Chase. It was a lot of fun! You've got to love Arizona-mini golfing outside at the end of November!!! We had so much visiting all our family and wish we all lived closer! Can't wait until January so I can come back out there, and my niece will finally be here!!!

-Halloween-

Halloween was so much fun this year! My friends Kristy and Jenny and I decided we wanted to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We were thinking how much easier and cheaper it would be to make our costumes...... well-it was so hard to find anything green-we found every color of tights but green, we found every color of shorts but brown, and every color of tank top but green. So we bought everything white, and dyed it all. They turned out really cute! I was proud of us! They took a lot of time, but it was worth it! Isaac was going to be Splinter, but all the robes we found were way expensive, so we never got one and kind of forgot about his costume. I was so busy doing mine, and he's a guy, so he didn't come up with anything. So the last minute, we came up with FaceBook-we stole it off of the Office because it was last minute-but Isaac wanted it to be a little different, so he printed out on a paper "Predator"-so he was a FaceBook Predator..... haha We went to Kristy's to get ready and she made us dinner. Then we went trick-or-treating for a little bit with everyone and took Dylan's son. After, we went to Jenny's house-her family does a big Haunted House in their backyard every year. It was so good-it seemed like we were in a real haunted house. After, Isaac and I went back home, because he really wanted to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters since it was our first year in our home. Not too many came by since we got home late, but it was lots of fun. Afterwards, we had our friends come by and hang out for a little while. It was so much fun-I'm sad that this time of year has already passed. Halloween is both mine and Isaac's favorite holiday!

Fall 2009

It has been so long since our last post!! We've been so busy this last month with tons of Birthdays and our Anniversary. I can't believe it has already been two years. The best two years of my life!!





We have done so many things these past two years-we got our Kitty a couple months after we were married. His name is DC and is so stinkin cute. I swear he is like our child.




After a year of being married, we purchased our townhouse and have lived here almost a year-time flies by so fast! We've had a lot of fun remodeling and making it our own home.

Here's a bunch of pictures, and I'll try to post more often!! :)

Bear Lake 2009

We went up to Bear Lake this weekend with my cousin Katelyn and her husband Tyler. It was so much fun, but went by way too fast! We drove up there Friday afternoon and when we got up there we BBQ'd steaks and vegetables. They were so good!

It started to rain and this boat looked like it was going to sink

Relaxing & Reading

On Saturday we took the bikes and went riding, but didn't get too far, because the little bike I was on got a flat tire-and Katelyn had a pretty bad crash and bruised up her whole knee-so we headed back. That night we went in to town and got dinner and Isaac got a shake-everyone else was so full from dinner(even Isaac) but he still wanted a shake! But I had a couple bites too-their shakes are so good. The next day we went down to the golf course and collected a bunch of golf balls and then had an adventure trying to find an entrance to the beach where there wasn't a lot of people so we could hit them into the lake. We finally found this little entrance and went down it to the perfect spot-there was nobody and the beach was awesome! Then we hear a four wheeler coming and it's this old man coming down and he stops and starts yelling at us that we trespassed on his property. We told him we thought the whole lake was public- his response was yes it is, but you trespassed on my property to get down here. (It was probably a ten second drive on his property, but he was really angry about it!) We told him we apologize and we will find another way out-but he wanted us to drive back on his property and find another way in. So we told him we will go ahead and do that-then he was being so nice to us and talking with us-kind of strange how his attitude totally changed when he realized we weren't doing it on purpose. We thought it was pretty funny that he must have been staring out his window waiting for people to drive on his property, because there was no house around. The closest was up on a huge hill that was pretty far away! But we finally found another entrance and hit balls on a sand bar. It was a lot of fun!

Summer 2009

So I decided I would catch everybody up on our summer! We have been doing so many fun things the whole summer. It's like we've been caved up in our townhouse all winter (remodeling and what not...) that this summer we have just wanted to be outside all the time.

We have been using our four wheelers a lot- the Sand Dunes, 5 mile, American Fork Canyon and Bear Lake. They have been so much fun!

We went to Lake Powell in July and Bear Lake. My sister Alicia and my nephew Cache came to visit Utah and we all went up to Bear Lake to hang out for the weekend. I miss them so much all the time and wish that they were closer, but when they come I love hanging out with them! Cachey is growing up so fast!

We also went to Boondocks (which is literally a block away from our house-you can walk there) and played Mini Golf and did the Go-Karts. We had so much fun! We also went up to Park City and drove around and did the Alpine Slide and Coaster Ride. I love it up there so much-the atmosphere is so fun and it is so pretty! We have been going up there almost every year to do the Alpine Slide and Coaster ride. If you haven't done it, I recommend going up there and trying it. It is worth the money! (Even though it is crazy expensive!)

Cute squirrel that was hanging out by the Alpine Slide the whole time





We also ran a 10k in Salt Lake on July 24. It was our first one and I loved it. I will definitely be doing more. As for Isaac... I don't think he enjoyed it too much. But I'm sure he will do them again. Don't you love how I have been running all year and he has ran once this whole 2009 year and ran with me side by side the whole 10k!! Not fair! haha



We have also had BBq's in the mountains, hung out with friends, worked more on our townhouse, and just enjoying summer! I can't believe it is almost over. This year has flown by so fast. I guess were just trying to get everything in and having as much fun as possible before we start having kids. We still have a couple more weeks of summer, so hopefully we will fit a few more fun things in!
