June Vacation


Brandon and I took a trip down to Santa Monica to hang out by the beach and hit up a Dodger vs Braves game. All in all it was a way fun trip except for the stupid drunk Mexicans at the ball game who perfected the "f" word and spilt beer on Brandon (lets just say Lacey wasn't to happy with that). Our good friends the Francoms and the Phillipenass went down too. Its always fun going on vacations with good company. Hopefully this was the first of a few trips this summer. Maybe we'll go camping next.

Wedding weekend

Brandon's sister Brianne married Robert this weekend in Vegas. It was a very beautiful wedding and we are so happy for them. We also decided to make a weekend get away out of it and stayed at Harrahs hotel in a nice suite. Congrats Brianne and Robert!!!

Happy Mother's Day





Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing Mothers out there!

This is a day that I dread every year, but I am thankful to all of you Mother's who are wonderful examples to me and I know one day I will get to enjoy the title of Mother.

Our First 5 Years of Forever!!

Brandon and I hit our 5 year mark of marriage on March 25! It has been an amazing, fun, trying, growing together and learning 5 years. We have been through some things we never thought we'd have to deal with, had some Awesome vacation, watched some highs and lows of Brandon's coaching adventures, lost some very important family members and young friends/ students. We have grown closer together and have learned that TOGETHER we can make it through anything!!! We are excited to see what the next 5+ years has to bring us.

Brandon: I love you more than you will ever know. Thanks for sticking by me and being there with me through my lowest times. I love you so much and am thankful for amazing man you are. Thanks for all you do for me. I love you Babe!!!

New addition

Remember my post about patience? Well we decided to test it out with this:






Meet Bruiser!! He a 9 week old Maltese and they say he will only get to be about 3lbs!! So far he has been a great dog. We have had him for a week and it has been an adjustment. I'm not really a dog person but i just love little Bruiser!

2010

Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come.
~Joseph F. Smith
Patience: What Im hoping to learn this year.

Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was a hard but good one being the first Christmas year without Grandma. We all had a wonderful time being with family and doing what Grandma would have wanted us to do.
Breakfast was really hard for me this year. I took my Grandmas place and helped my mom cook the ebelskivers. I know Grandma was right there helping us and adding her special touch to everything.

Then there was this. This was my Grandmas that her brother brought back from his mission in New Zealand. It is small neck pendant in the form of a human fetus, used by the Maori of New Zealand as a fertility symbol. Usually carved of green nephrite or a jade like stone called pounamu that is found along the western coast of the South Island, hei tikis normally are worn only by women. The object is believed to possess magical powers that increase as it is passed on from generation to generation. Aunt Tami happened when this was given to Grandma! With what Brandon and I are going through, Grandpa thought it should go to us, and no one else wants the "powers" of it right now!
On the 26th Brandon's parents took us all to see the Lion King. It was AMAZING!! We loved it. I didn't take any pictures but when I get copies I'll post them.
Thanks to all for our families for a wonderful Christmas and all the memories that were made. We love you all!!
