1 down, eternity to go

A whole year since:

I couldn't stop smiling then, 365 days later not much has changed!
So in love and I love it!


The first month we spent doing this:

It was definitely not my idea of fun, but we learned alot and couldn't be more pleased with our decision to buy our home!

We Spent the remainder of our summer doing:
It never gets old watching him!

We took many a trip this year to:

We learned just how much fun vacations were by ourselves and with friends

Bought and sold of few of these:
As well as many other things!

Had the best holiday season we've ever had:
Decorating our own house was so much fun!

Accomplished something big:
Couldn't be more proud of him!

There was a few sad moments:
But we are greatful to be a forever family!
(We love & miss you Grandma)

We conquered fears, together:

Most importantly we laughed... alot, loved... even more and grew together!
What a great year it has been, I am so lucky hes mine forever, a year went by to fast
I cant seem to ever get enough of him, good thing we have eternity to go! Its the best thing coming home every night to him!
I Love you Babe! :) Thanks for changing my life forever! :)

Life never slows down!

Facebook user: Hey guys I just updated my blog, everyone go check it out and see how awesome my life is!

That was a status in my newsfeed a while ago! The post was very sarcastic, it made me laugh, pretty hard. Its pretty much the truth, though I fall into that category. I have this little blog for nothing less than that, telling you just how great my life is. :)

In other news....
We bought a boat. Yup! A boat. I'm sure it'll be fun, that is if the weather will ever decide to change. Its a joke.
Austin is just so excited. He really likes ... No, Loves.... okay is Obsessed with Wakeboarding.
Do I mind?
Nope! Not at all! He is beyond the point of passionate about it and I think its cute. He spent like 3 STRAIGHT weeks researching this boat purchase, making sure it would put out just a perfect wake.
He mentioned he found one, so the next day, I got off work and off to Boise, Idaho we went. 5 Hours later we were towing our boat home!
The next day was spent shining it all up, its brings him much joy! I cant wait till we can actually enjoy it! :)

My little sister I mentioned moved back home, boy has it been fun to have her around. I forget just how goofy we can be. Planning a wedding has been lots of fun.
Her fiance' has spent the majority of the week down here and its been lots of fun having him around, getting to know him. He's a keeper, we like him :)

My little brother has officially grown up. He's off to PROM today. I simply cant believe it, he still seems so little to me. (well not little he's like 2 feet taller than me!) I cant wait to watch out the window as he opens the door for his cute little date, and they ride off to the dance. I loved those days, it'll be fun to relive it with him for a second! :) Good luck Ky, we love you!

I think that's about it, Life is moving right along. We couldn't be happier!

Happy Birthday

To the best friend ever!
Lara Lou!
23 things I love about Lou:

1. Her random sense of fashion. She can put the absolute weirdest things together and make it work, not only make it work, totally rock it.

2. Her driving, boy do I miss that. (I think?)

3. Her momma, Twanda

4. Naming cars, not just any name, very thought out names.

5. Her heel collection


6. Making harder than a rock Mac N Cheese with her.

7. Giving Annie cat nip and laughing endless hours.

8. Shes the best shopping buddy ever, even when its very last minute.

9. Playing at the princess park, many times in princess dresses.


10. Henna and Lava

11. Stealing siblings cars... (borrowing??) as we solve boy drama, getting stranded, running home in heels.

12. The days of 4 wheeling through the mud.

13. Watching ridiculous movies- Duck soup? (stupid much?) (lol love you lou!)

14. Girls night with bobby, rock band, chips and dip.

15. Driving through the Ford dealership. Again, and again, and again!

16. Listening to Christopher telling us scary stories on the train tracks!

17. Family game nights, writing down on the crazy nonsense that went on without paying any attention.

18. Bowling nights

19. Holi Krishna, that is, before it became BYU's tradition. lol!

20. Endless Zoo days. (At least I wish they were still endless :( )

21. Her crazy sense of humor/ giggle fits.

22. Her unique taste in music.

23. I love her because she is simply the best. She has always been there for me no matter what, through thick and thin! She made growing up the best. Our memories, inside jokes, and stories are endless and I love that we could be best friends, I HATE that she lives so dang far away (DARN CHRISTOPHER!)

Hope you have a great day! Happy Birthday! Love you Lara lou!

ps. I hope you party party party!

catching up!

Wow. Its been a minute! I guess we will play a little catch up. Hopefully I can remember what all has gone on in our lives!
To start off I went to Vegas with Hazen. We left on Sunday and came back the following Sunday! Boy was it a very long trip. Minor recap: Cold weather, worked all day long, right through lunch and dinner; everyday, finally got to eat each night around midnight, 10 very hormonal girls, not so pleasant dancing coach to work with, inside jokes, laughter, quite a few tears, and a not so pleasant 2 hour shopping experience! It was an intense week! There was good times in there but at the time they seemed very few and far between! Needless to say I'm glad I am home!
We had very fun themed days; colored tights, hair accessory, black white patterns, etc! It was fun dressing up with the girls, hopefully all these pics will work so you can see them!


(don't mind this special one lol it wouldn't work!)
While I was gone my little sister got engaged. It was sad not being home but I'm so excited for her and I'm even more excited to plan another wedding with my mom and sisters, that's the best part!

My older sister had her baby Thursday, I took my lunch break and Aust and I went up to the hospital to see them. She had a beautiful baby boy, Luke! We have another nephew on the way within the next 2 months we are excited about!



Friday is our fun day, Austin has it off and I don't have school. We went shooting clear out in nowhere land. Though it was forever away we had fun!


General conference Saturday and Sunday! That's always a fun time, my sisters roommates all came home so we had a big breakfast with everybody! We missed Austin who was working but we enjoyed watching. I'm sure you guys saw this kid after Sunday afternoon session. We sure got a good laugh rewinding and re-watching!


Monday kicked off our spring break. We were really hoping to go on a cruise but it was sold out. I was so glad Austin took the whole week off to hang out and play it was fun! Monday we did boring stuff, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, etc. But boy was it so much better with him there. Tuesday we went on a nice motorcycle ride, took it easy. We went to Flo-rider, its so much fun watching Aust! Later that night we met up with friends! We have some friends that just moved back from Vegas, we are looking forward to hanging out a lot more with them now they are close! Wednesday we went go-cart racing and played mini golf. Then the real fun began. We went to St. George/ Vegas with our good friends Mike and Marni the rest of the week. Though the weather wasn't great we still had a great time. The boys enjoyed endless hours of Fantasy factory and us girls had fun chit chatting and hot tubing! It was definitely a successful week!

Now back to work and school! Ready or not here we come!

Peace Out.

In T- 20 min I will be headed off to Las Vegas for work... for 8 whole days. UGH! I will definitely be missing:

this boy... A LOT!
Keep him company, and somebody please feed him! Not like hes used to me actually cooking, but I am good about warming up things fresh out the freezer! :)
I hope its a good week and that I stay so busy I don't even realize I'm gone, I'm sure it will be fun, its just a long time away, but here goes nothing--- off to the sunny viva Las Vegas!

For my Birthday,

I would like this:


Now the hard part, convincing my husband. Please help, any encouragement pointed in his direction would really help!

I've always wanted a dog, more specifically a Yorkie, a teacup Yorkie! Crossing my fingers!

Cars. Floods. B days. Him. Her. Life

Boy its been a bit, haven't had much time lately but here we are again! I wish I had more pics to show but.... I'm feeling lazy and all my cute pics are on the camera!
Lets see, I experienced my first "scary" thing in our house. Last Saturday as you remember was pretty rainy, Aust got up went to work, I said bye and went back to sleep for about an hour in a half. I woke up and thought wow that rain is really coming down hard core, I went on to play on my phone! A while later I decided to get ready, I went to turn on the shower and something wasn't right, we have the STRONGEST water pressure you have ever seen, seriously it hurts! But this particular time it didn't seem so strong, I still heard the rain hard core, I went outside only to realize it was barely a sprinkle. INSTANT PANIC! I followed to noise to the hall then to the trap door leading to crawl space. Yup some pipe broke and all I could see was 3 inch of water, I freaked. I called my very awesome parents who came quickly to my rescue! They are the best, you should have seen my dad, I don't believe he could have gotten more muddy mud wrestling, it was such a mess. Thanks mom and dad for all the help! (Aust was at work and couldn't make it home)

We both got new cars!! YAH! As all of you know, for Austin this is no big deal, its a regular occurrence, for me on the other hand, its a huge deal and I'm soooo excited! We now have an 05' Silver gas hog Durango and... my car is an adorable 02' Black Eclipse! I'm in love! I kept telling Austin that my goal in life was to own a car that was cool enough for him to WANT to drive, I didn't think I'd achieve this so fast but I do believe I have, and after a 3 hour wax job I have planned for my day off I think it'll be even more resistible!


Ky- man turned 16! Where has the time gone? Last Monday I helped him ask a girl to PROM and it was the weirdest thing! I'm excited for him and all that is coming his way! Happy birthday my little but no so little brother! :)

I cant think of much more right now, though I know plenty more has happened, I guess this is all for now though!
