Happy Birthday Lily! Congrats Pattie & Autumn! Happy Birthday Roxy!

This is going to be the longest post I have ever done! My fault, that's what I get for not posting in 2 weeks almost. Where to begin, where to begin? We've had two birthday parties and a wedding!

First- how wonderful is my husband?? Last week I was having a bad night, and he came home with some chocolate and these flowers. How pretty they are- thanks love!


Happy (LATE) Birthday Lily!
It was actually last weekend. Thanks so much Colin and Jess for always inviting us. We love coming over to your house. Of course to start the party off Jonny has to teach Kenner some 'mean' balloon tricks. They got into this balloon beating battle!

Luckily Marc came to the rescue and helped Kenner out! Go Kenner!

... I am not even going to comment on this picture.
We then played an intense game of Taboo!
I love this picture of me! (is that vain?) I just think it's so funny. I had the hardest time coming up with hints so my team would guess!

Jonny on the other hand held the record! He rocked!
He was also a very diligent time keeper :)


Marc and Krista, and their new baby girl- Brooklyn.


Jonny and Jess's sweeeet camera.
Lily's cake, cupcakes actually. That is the way to go! No knife's or uneven pieces. Every one just gets their own cupcake.

Jonny sure loved them!
I love this picture of Lily. She is such a beautiful little girl. It's hard to believe that she is 1 already. It seems like yesterday we got the call from Colin that Jess had just had her.





Now this past weekend! Congrats to Pattie and Autumn! They got married in the Salt Lake Temple on October 10th. The morning started off at a wedding breakfast at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was so yummy!
The bride and groom.

Obviously Pattie was too 'busy' to get a picture with his best friend... Just kidding Pattie, we love ya!

I love the Joseph Smith Memorial Building! It is sooo pretty inside! Here they have their fall center piece. I wish I could have just taken it home and put it on my kitchen table.

Jonny and I tried to get this picture like 5 times! We had to keep re positioning the camera on a flower pot and setting the timer, running over there and wait for the flash. Didn't really turn out the best, but it will do. This is actually the same place where my BFF Kristie had her main bridal taken. So pretty!
I took this picture, pretty proud of my self, I think it turned out really good. It's at the top of the J.S.M. Building.

Getting me in front of it, obviously didn't work out so well. Outside was just too bright.

And their MARRIED!!
I hadn't yet had the opportunity to go to a sealing yet in the Temple, besides my own of course. What an amaizng experience every one should have! It is so wonderful that couples can be sealed for all time and eternity!

Love it when the Bride where's fun shoes!
The boys.
Off to the Reception. They had it at The Wood's Reception Center. It was so nice there!
I love her sash! I had a sash too for my wedding day!

Jonny and Casey had to be in the line. Don't you love their attire? They obviously didn't mind being in the line too much... Jonny said that they would change their names when they introduced themselves, or they would wait and listen to what the guest would say when they said their name to the bride and groom and then when they got to them, Jonny and Casey would use the same name to freak them out. Growing up everyone thought that Jonny and Pattie were brothers/twins. And that didn't fail in the receiving line. Jonny said he stopped counting at 15, of people asking him if he was Pattie's brother.
These guys crack me up! I didn't even post all the pictures of them being, well, themselves! LOL, they are crazy when they are all together.
My BFF is PREGO!! That's right, if you have checked out her blog or just seen her- you know she is 'with child'. She is so dang cute! She is already 7 months pregnant. I can't believe it! We always thought I was going to get prego first, but since that isn't happening for a while, she just had to beat me to it. I love you Kristie and can't wait for that little girl to pop out!

Walter and his little family drove all the way down from Coalville to come to the reception. I was surprised to see them. His wife just had their second baby a few weeks back. This is him with thier first, Charlotte (sp). She is the cutest little girl!!
Aren't we just the cutest??
Kristie, Me, and Leslie. After the reception we went to Robert and Leslie's house. Every time we go over there we end up staying up all night/morning and talking. That night though we only lasted till about 2:30 am. As oppose to the last time, I think we got home around 5:30 am. I wished we lived closer to all of our friends! We miss them so much!


Happy 1st Birthday Roxy!!
That's right! We did have a birthday party for our little puppy girl. Had invitations and everything (I should post that later). We had it over at my aunt Jill's house where all of her puppy friends are. They have 3 dog's at their house. She loves it over there!
Jonny and Tora Bell. She obviously was not feeling this picture or the party hat.

Now the party hat... Jonny made every one wear party hats! So Evelyn and Fenway took that to the extreme! They are the funniest little kids!

Too bad Roxy doesn't like kids too much, she spent alot of the party on the back of the couch.

Mike and Kristie- thanks for coming guys!

A real 'doggie' Birthday cake! Those dogs went to town on it!

This has me worried about when we do have children, if we are going all out for our puppy, our kids are going to be spoiled rotten! By the way, don't you just love Roxy's Bee Halloween costume, she sported it at her bday party. And she even got presents! Thanks everyone for coming! Any excuse to get the family together!

Our little family.

Yellowcard!

Tuesday night Jonny and I went with some friends to YELLOWCARD! They were playing up here at USU. It was a sweet concert! The opening band was pretty good too. I forget how much I love concerts, and it was so much fun to go with my hubby! Secondhand Serenade is coming in Nov and we are saving our pennies to go.
Jammin out!
Adam and Korey
Ladies: the lead singer of Yellowcard is pretty cute!
Jonny is clearly very excited about it!

Double date night

The past weekend the Goff's invited us to go out on a double date. It was so much fun! And I'm sure they enjoyed the night out with out the cute kiddo's. They picked us up and we headed to Sizzler. When Jonny first told me we were going to Sizzler, I immediately thought of senior citizens. Laugh, but it's true! When you think of Sizzler don't you just think of early bird specials and dinner at 4:30? Well, Jonny did scout out the restaurant and the young did out number the old, so I guess I was wrong that night.
I love this man!
Colin and Jess are soo cute together! I was telling Jonny later on that night how cute they still are after a few many years and 2 kids later.
After Sizzler we were going to go bowling, but the lanes were full so we headed over to the Fun Park. And yes we went old school and went roller blading with all the jr high kids in the roller ring. It was so much fun! Definitely going to have to go back! Forgot how much fun roller blading is! Colin made us play 'follow the leader' around the ring, and we all went around and we had to follow the person in front. It was so funny what we all would come up with. I wish we would have gotten video of it. Maybe next time!
Thanks again Colin and Jess for inviting us!

How nice...

We came home from the gym tonight with a Cold Stone gift card on our door. Jonny said that last week, he ran into a guy outside our house who asked him for a glass of water (I guess he was doing yard work or something nearby). So Jonny simply went inside and got him a bottled water and didn't think anything of it. Well, this guy apparently thought a lot about it. I don't know why but so often it still surprises me that some people are just so nice still in their hearts. I think it's this crazy world we live in that we often underestimate people. So this was a good reminder. Thanks stranger!

Move night!

Tuesday night some girls from work came over to watch She's The Man. Love that movie (and so does Liz!). I love all these girls! We all met at our work Conservice (who all still work there except for slacker Brianna- jk). I think girls night is one of the things I miss most about being single. Not that I don't do plenty of girls nights now, but it's still not the same or as often. You girls know what I am talking about. Anyways, thanks for coming over guys! Love ya! (Left to right: Jody, Megan, Me, Liz, Brianna)

Havin fun at the Farm

This past weekend we went out to Jonny's old Bishop's farm for a bbq and to watch a movie in the corn field. This guys farm is huge and his house is so cool. I wish I would have gotten a picture to prove this but he had a fire pole in his house. How awesome is that? Hopefully we remember that when we build our house.
Funny side story about this farm. When Jonny was in his ward they used to come out there for singles ward activities and Jonny has a picture of him and his 'date' here. I should dig it up and post it. :)


Jonny with the baby cows, they really liked him.
Me not so much, every time I went close to one it would back way.


Then after our bbq, we headed out to the middle of the cornfield where he has it cleared out just to watch movies.
Then- go figure- we watched Signs. That's our friend Spencer, Jonny used to be roomie's with him.

Dollar Tree finds

On Monday when my family and I were out shopping, we stopped in Dollar Tree. They had ton's of cute stuff to decorate with. I remember when I was younger I would say 'When I have my own house, I can't wait to decorate it!'. Well, almost 2 years of living in our house I have yet to do that. I did decorate last Christmas a bit though thanks to my amazing sister-in-law Julianne who gave me a box full of 'old' (new to me!) Christmas decorations (Thanks again!). But I think I am going to try and decorate more with each season. So for fall, it's these $1 each scarecrows. PS- Do you like how the tag is still on them?! Maybe I'll venture with the fall decorating into the house... stay tuned.
And good news! My shoe project is done. I finally got around to printing and taping the pictures on the tupperware containers. I am very pleased with it! I was getting tired of them all getting smashed under the bed.

Cabin Fever!

This weekend we went up to Jonny's family's cabin up Price Canyon. Talk about soo much fun! We got up there Friday night and stayed till Sunday morning due to the stormy weather coming in. The whole way up there Jonny told me story after story about going up to the cabin all the time when he was growing up. I had no idea that this cabin was so special to him. I am so glad that we were able to go!

We went on some hikes, it was so pretty up there and the weather was perfect.
Jonny just pushing down a tree for fun.


3 Wheeling FUN! That's right, I said '3' wheeling! These 3 wheelers are about 20 years old or older, they were tough, and soo much fun!

Jonny showing off his moves on his 3 wheeler. Go Jonny!

We went on this path and along the way were all these stray horses and cows. Jonny would just storm his 3 wheeler towards them as fast as he could. Not me, no way, they looked like they were going to charge!
Our new family tree!
Lot of scenic pictures! it was so pretty up there.



Some random thing that we found. Kinda cool.
Roxy lovin it!
Us and Maddie (Lynette's daughter)
Shooting time! Jonny and his dad :)


And that's it for the cabin. Can't wait till next time!

The rest of the weekend we spent in Salt Lake, Monday I went with my family shopping- had a blast, but am shopped out, even though I didn't really get anything. Got home last night and crashed.
