Fun Times!

This week was an exciting one. We went and saw our little tich for the first time. How wonderful it was to see a healthy growing baby. No, we didn't find out what we are having, we are just excited to have a sweet spirit come into our lives.

Today we went to Shayes first real rugby tournament. He didn't even get through the first game with out ripping his shorts done the leg. He was pretty proud of it. It was such a fun time watching him. These boys have got a lot of courage and good sportsmanship. He wanted me to put this picture of him to show off his awesome rugbyness! He tried to look mean, but couldn't help but smile and show off his cute dimples. We love him and are so excited to go to many more rugby games.

just for fun !

WOW, it has been a long long time since I have updated this thing. Life is so wonderful!! Brittan is off on his mission and we are so excited for him! Tiff is having a little boy!!! and today I could find out what I am having... but I am not :) I love the surprise! There has been so much that has happened and so many wonderful memories made. This year is such an exciting one, there is so much life coming into the world, it is amazing. My brother in-law and his wife had their first child last week; a handsome baby Boy! We are so excited for them.
There is much to be thankful for and excited for in life. Although, it may seem, at times, hard to find what all there is that is wonderful. But, it doesn't take long to find it.
Valentines day was yesterday! What a wonderful holiday. Travis and I actually celebrated it on Saturday at the "Sweetheart Swing". Yes!! we went to a dance. We were probably the youngest couple that was there. It was so fun ... I completely forgot to take pictures. But we both enjoyed it so so much. There was a Jazzy swing band and everything. I hope they do more of those kinds of things in St. George through out the year :)
I love spending time with my wonderful family and my amazing husband! There is really nothing more enjoyable and fun!

BIG Update

So life has been absolutely crazy. Mckenna Mae did her first triathlon! We are so so proud of her. She did awesome! She didn't train and she did so good. I am so proud of her! She is amazing. I envy little kenna, she just kept going and worked way hard! YEAH KENNA!




Our awesome little triathlete! She had to swim a lap bike a lot and run a lot! She didn't even get close to quitting :) it was fun to cheer her on and be there for her! I hope she does it again. She totally has it in her!



Alright I know this is a little late but here is our awesome fun Halloween. We had fun with our pumpkin carving and our outfits. I know mine isn't too unique but I couldn't think of anything and so I found the skirt and bra and necklace on Brittans wall :) and with a little sister that hulas, it made it that much more fun. Travis is suppose to be a "70's" Cop. (i think he just wanted to were a wig and a mustache). It was a lot of fun. We didn't do the chili and breadsticks like usual and no haunted house this year- but we had other yummy food and got to spend the fun holiday with the family.
We got to play for the Heritage Choir again who featured- Jordan Bluth- He is an amazing tenor. He totally beats Josh Groban, believe it or not. It was such a fun experience. I played a few pieces with the Choir and then we as a group did "You Raise Me Up". It was fun to play together in front of a great crowd.
Now the here is something new... I know my family doesn't read my blog unless I tell them too so i know they probably wont find out until thanksgiving day when I tell them all. But Trav and I have a little tich on the way :) If you read this before thanksgiving- don't tell anyone :) I got a little plan- i just thought it would be funny to throw in this little info. So if you are reading this before thanksgiving... thanks for looking at my blog and congrats to you for knowing what no one else knows :)

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I Love you all.

GOOD TIMES!

IT'S A BOY!!! No I am not going to have a baby but my bother and sister in-law are. It was Chelsey's birthday and they found out what she was going to have the day before. But instead of finding out at the doc's they had what it was written down and put in an envelope which they took to the bakery and had them put the color of frosting inside for Chelsey's birthday cake. We had a party the next day where they cut the cake and revealed what they were having. Even though Kyle doesn't look pumped he totally was. He was jumping up and down. We are so excited for them!



Yeah for Jay! One of Trav's best friends got married! Their wedding was beautiful and fun. We had an enjoyable time. We are so proud of Jay and Veronica! They got married Sept. 18 in the St. George Temple.

Summer fun... one year down and an eternity to go!

Our summer is coming to an end. Trav and I start school up again next week! But I think we had quite an eventful summer. We went on a little weekend trip with the Tichenor family to California. It happened to be our One year anniversary! and we were in about the same spot that we were on our honeymoon. We have had so much fun this past year! and I can't wait for what eternity has in store for us!

Of course we had to go to a base ball game. Angels vs Texas- Angels won. We had a lot of fun. Major League baseball games are a lot of fun. Hopefully we'll get to go to more.



We Spent a day at Newport beach. We had burns for about two weeks after:( The water was freezing cold at first, then you got used to it. I learned how to body surf.. I had a great teacher ;)
We saw dolphins riding the waves, sadly we didn't get any good pictures, but it was so cool to see real wild dolphins right where we were about to swim.


What better to end a good trip off then going to the temple. The church we went to was right next to the Newport Beach Temple. It was beautiful! We didn't have a lot of time so we hope to go back and visit it again!



Our last Roadrunners game:( There was a professional league baseball team in St. George. They just ended the franchise in St. George because they weren't getting enough support. It was sad, we always had fun going to the games. Hopefully they'll come back next season.

Home Sweet Home!

Wow, its true what they say that if you go with out the people you love for a while, you come back loving them even more! I didn't think it was possible, but I came home loving my husband and family much more. My trip was amazing and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to go learn and grow in many ways. I met amazing people and I was part of some awesome programs. I will be forever grateful for that experience.
After a full day of traveling, I was picked up in the airport by my wonderful husband. It felt so good to be home and to be with the ones I love. We stayed the night there and the next day went to our favorite place to be together. We went to the Las Vegas Temple. It is so beautiful and it was a great way to begin our journey home. I forgot how hot it was here, believe it or not, I missed it. We live in such a beautiful place. I had no problem bragging about our red dirt and beautiful mountains. Home is definitely my Heaven on earth.
