The Big SIX

Happy 6th Anniversary to us!

We celebrated as a family with a little get-away just outside of Salt Lake City - we love a fun hotel stay!  The hotel even upgraded us to a suite because we were celebrating!

Our suite!  So fun and so big!

Ready to go to the pool!

Our little fishy. 

While in Salt Lake we went to the zoo! Our favorite!

The zoo also had a lot of dinosaurs to learn about too!

She was hiding behind the pole so the T-Rex wouldn't see her. ;)

The best part of the whole weekend was being together, of course!

Disneyland!

Welcome to our happy place!

We had so much fun on our trip!  It was so fun that it was hard to come back home!  It was a great way to spend our 4th wedding anniversary and celebrate our family!  Get ready for a picture overload!

Disneyland:

Maya was a great little traveler, the weather was perfect and we had a blast!

In front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle and at the Entrance to Disneyland. 

Me, Maya (as Tinkerbell), and Dumbo.

Us with the Walt & Mickey statue, and ToonTown

Our all-time favorite pic!  Makes me cry!
We hoped to find Princess Tiana and there she was the first day - they loved each other!

Disneyland was all decorated for Halloween!

Pluto and Maya loved each other!  He came over to her and got her attention,
she was so excited -- and he was so cute, let Maya grab is nose and face!

Maya got all dressed up for the Princess Lunch -- it was a riot!  Maya could spot the
Princesses across the room and complained until they got to her - then she was happy!

Shopping Fun!  You can't go to Disneyland and not shop your heart out in the great stores for all of the fun Disney items!

Of course we had to get Maya her first set of Disney ears!

California Adventure:

Maya was a good little napper - I think we wore her out good each day!

Cars Land was AWESOME!  Looks straight out of the movie!

I love our little family!

There were a lot of rides Maya could get on!  Maya thought she owned the place!

Our little Sleeping Beauty had no idea that Donald Duck came to say 'hi' to her. 

All-in-all it was a perfect trip!  We can't wait to start planning our next visit to Disneyland!

Good Times

Brandon and I recently celebrated our 4th anniversary of our first date!  On our first date we went to a movie and out to eat, so on each anniversary of that date we go to dinner and a movie!  I love that Brandon plans this night for us!  We found this cowboy at our restaurant - glad I remembered to get a picture of the night!

And on Friday, my mom sister and me spent some girl time together in Salt Lake.  It was so nice to spend the day together shopping and talking! What a nice day!

We found some fun St. Pats stuff to try out!

We hope you have some Good Times yourself!

3 Years Baby!

Last week Brandon and I celebrated our 3 Year Anniversary!  It's crazy to believe we've been married only three years, because it feels like we've known each other forever!  I sure do love this man!

The day of our actual anniversary, Brandon gave me a dozen gorgeous roses, and that night we went out to eat!

And this weekend, we went to Salt Lake!  My favorite place to shop and hang out!  I'm so happy [lucky] to have Brandon!

What we've been up to

Here's a quickie post to let you know what we've been up to lately!  And, by the way, have I mentioned how much I love summer?!?  I really do!  I especially love spending time with Brandon, my family,  and getting out for some fun!

* Me, my mom, my sister and her kids love getting out to go shopping!
* Making home-made pies!  I gotta tell ya, I make a mean pie crust!  I made my parents a lemon meringue pie and I made Brandon a sweet potato pie the other day, all from scratch! Yum!
* We bought a shed for a little more storage.  It took me and Brandon a fair amount of time to build it, but we did it, and it's awesome!  And it looks like Diesel thought it was his new dog house.
* On the weekend anniversary of the time Brandon first proposed (3 years ago), he got a ring and proposed again.  What a sweet, and romantic tradition.
* Sometimes when I get bored, I like to play around with make-up!

Ode to my Love

Two Years ago, I married the most amazing man in the world! What an unbelievably lucky girl I am!

Love you forever, Brandon!  So glad I have you forever too!

Loved you yesterday,

Love you still,

Always have,

Always will!

Our Honeymoon

I was looking at pictures of our Honeymoon today and thought that would be a fun post!  I {heart} Disneyland!!! (and Brandon, of course)

The happiest couple in the Happiest Place on Earth

Waiting to see 'It's Tough to be a Bug'

We had to buy the Mr. & Mrs. Mickey Honeymoon Ears

Eating at the Blue Bayou - Yum!

It was so nice to be together in the happiest place on earth together!  It was nice to be away together ... away from any stresses and just enjoy being newlyweds!  Such a fun time!  I'll never forget it!  I can't wait to go back when we have kids!

Married Life ...

I can't believe Brandon and I have been married for 1 year and 9 months! Time has flown by!

I love being married!
I love being a wife!

Yes, it can be TrIcKy to combine two lives of two people who are so different ... but never too tricky. 
We're so different ... and I really like it that we are!  

He loves scary movies and I love romance.
He his quiet and I'm a social butterfly!
He likes savory, and I like sweet.

The candy table at our wedding

However ... having said that, we have found a lot of things we have in common.
We love the Gospel ... it is in every part of our lives!
We have a deep love for the temple.

We love getting out and going places together!
We love going to movies together!
We love laughing together, and I love that I get to see this hilarious side of my hubby that not many other people get to see.

We love going for drives together.
We love talking together.
 
One of my favorite things is laying in bed at night and I say, "Tell me a story babe."
He says, "What do you want to hear?"
And I reply with, "Tell me a story about ..." (I request anything from a childhood story, first fight, first kiss, favorite anything, etc.)
And boy-oh-boy he's got some doosies! Some of them make me cry from laughing so hard.
I love his stories!

Sure do love being married ... and being married to the most perfect man doesn't hurt either!
