The Final Days

It has been a busy busy few months, here are a few pictures from our trip to Washington for Thanksgiving. We were able to spend it with Jareds family.

Here Jared was playing Wii and his cute nephews wanted to help

 I went and Got pedicures with my sister-in-laws Angela and Pam, the day we went it had stormed the night before and the roads were horrible so we were excited that we made it there alive.

 Jareds Parents treated all the kids who came for Thanksgiving to The Forgotten Carols, which I had never seen and I really loved it!

 Jared and I at Forgotten Carols

 We had an awesome trip, ate lots of food and gained some pounds which I was not too happy about. But thats life right?

When we got back Sunday night I unpacked and packed again to head to my friend Megans house to help her out with her newborn twins!!! It was so much fun and so tiring and I admire them for having the energy to do it. Go Ben and Meg! 

Here I am with little Anna...

 Both chilling in the morning looking around

Once I got back from Megans house I quickly made this cute blanket for my friend Ash's baby shower. I was so proud I actually finished a project Yay!

 Jared and I celebrated our Christmas early because we are moving and we needed to pack it up, we bought matching Christmas PJ's and had stockings and dinner and had cool Christmas sheets. It was a blast.

Every year Jared and I get each other a ornament to put on the tree and this year Jared gave me this, a deer butt that farts jingle bells BAHAHA it was so funny...

 I surprised Jared with his favorite TV show Planet Earth and he Loved it!

 Making Breakfast- What a cutie!

 My birthday was last Friday and my awesome husband took me to a workshop where I could make watchbands for a watch/bracelet Jared let me make five bands and I got 2 watch faces and let me just say they are soooo cute! I love them!

 I went shopping with a few of my good friends Casey and Ash and we went to Red Robin and of course I had to wear the balloon ears but I got a free dessert! YEAH!

 And once again my awesome husband took me to see Megamind in 3D and let me get a large ICEE!! Love them ICEE!!

My day was super awesome and I am so grateful for all the birthday wishes and people who helped make it special!

Now I packed our whole house and start cleaning tomorrow cause in 4 days we are moving to sunny and warm California, then to have Christmas and then to a CARIBBEAN CRUISE!!!!

Yeah you can be jealous its ok.

Jared is graduating college on Saturday and I couldn't be more proud of him! He is so dedicated to getting good grades and has worked so hard to get there and I love him for it.

So in the midst of us moving and vacationing I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Years!!

Whirlwind of October

 Well October was the whirlwind month for Jared and I, every weekend we had something exciting planned. Family visiting, friends visiting, going to visit and everything else. Here are pictures from our last few weekends...

We went up to a cabin in Island Park with friends for the weekend. The cabin was super nice and the company was awesome.

Here we got a fire going even though it rained all day and was slightly sprinkling when we went out

 Eating our tin foil dinners

 Marshmallow on steroids- you can find these babies at Winco they are the size of your palm, literally!

 Huge smore with these marshmallows they are awesome

 Jared getting in some study time while others are sleeping

 Making apple cider for breakfast

 We felt our entrance to our apartment was lacking spirit... so my good friend Casey (who lives right 5 feet away) and I took action!

 Can you find Jared?

I went home for a weekend to California to watch my younger brother play his last home football game. It poured rain the whole night and the poor team got creamed, but it was such a fun weekend. I cleaned out the room Jared and I will be living in so it is all ready for us to move into in December!

My momma and I freezing our bottoms off

 Jared is the ward sports coordinator for the ward and so therefore making us captains of all the teams so we have to play all the sports, but it is a blast every week. The first block the sports we had were flag football, soccer, and softball, the second block we have basketball, volleyball, and bowling. 

Here we are bowling!

 Jared and I did our first trunk or treating with our ward- I know we were lame and didn't dress up, we have been sick all week. The kids I babysit were able to come and we got them for the rest of the night which made trunk or treating a blast.

 Here is one of the kids, we took them bowling afterwards and that was an adventure all of its own. 3 kids under the age of 5 at a crowded bowling aisle doing black light bowling... yikes!

Here is Jared and I at one of his flag football games- it was freezing that night.

 The supportive wives sitting in freezing weather

We had such a blast with family and friends in October. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving in Washington and then we will be focusing on packing up our apartment to move! Time is flying by so fast!!!

FUN-tabulous Weekend!

Our Brother and Sister-in-law came to visit us this weekend with our nieces and can I say WOW we had a blast! We toured the BYU-Idaho Campus and town, went out to dinner, played lots of board games, visited Bear World, shopped at D.I., and just enjoyed company of family. It was so much fun and we were so appreciative that they made time to come out and visit us. Here are some pictures of our adventure.

 A Moose

 This Albino Elk was responding to Paul trying to bugle to him and then decided to urinate and while urinating tried to clean his antlers and peed all over his face. haha what a weirdie Albino Elk

 There were probably like 20-30 bears in this park and this is how big and CLOSE they were

 Sniffing our tires

 Trying to give me a kiss at my window

 Here it climbed up onto the car and stretched out trying to reach something at the top, we now have scratches to prove it on the side of our car. how cool!!!

 These two bears were playfully fighting which was so cool to watch.

 Baby Cubs

 In the petting zoo petting a deer

 Petting a Goat, I'm not the biggest fan of petting zoos if you can't tell...

 The men playing on our Wii, they gave it some good use this weekend that thing never gets played.

We seriously had so much fun this weekend! THANKS PAUL AND STACEY EMILEE AND JESS. We really enjoyed it.

Early on in the week I got to babysit the kids I nanny for here at my house because there dad was sick. They absolutely love Jared! And here is a picture to show it, I was on the other couch by myself while Jared got to sit like this through the movie.. He is going to be an excellent dad when the time comes.

Aren't they all so cute!

Conference

So of course at the beginning of our weekend my camara is out of batteries, so this is all I have for now. totally lame!

We went down to Utah to spend the weekend with my brother and to go to conference, here we are at his rugby game cheering him on.

And that is all I got haha. There will be more to come we had quite the adventure...but had a lot of fun!

softball

 Our ward has a softball team and we had our first game and can I say how much I love softball!!!!! I stole these pics from my friend Casey cause she is better about taking pictures than I am ( thank goodness).

Casey and I waiting for the game to start. We won by a forfeit but luckily we still got to scrimmage with another team. We will be hitting up the batting cages soon because I am a little rusty.

Bad news- my camera was getting full of pictures so I went on the computer and deleted the selected ones I had already downloaded to the computer and hit delete and of course it deleted all of them. I THANKFULLY uploaded a ton to facebook moments earlier and it saved me some but I still lost some and that breaks my heart. Justin (the other half of Casey) told me his second half of his mission got deleted on accident then I didn't feel so bad after that.
