March 2012!

For our anniversary trip-we decided to go over to Cali to spend time with the Parents! Surprise surprise-what the parents got was the best gift we could give them! We announced that we were having a baby! Since we had gone to the doctors, we figured it was safe enough to start announcing to our loved ones! I made little baskets that were topped off with a onsie that said Guess What?!

And afterwards we all went out to dinner at the Olive Garden to celebrate! All 11 of us! :) It was so much fun to have the whole family together! The only one missing was Mr. Christopher, but he had SAR allo weekend, and i didnt want to ask him to miss it, because i know they would have been super sucpicious if i had! :)

Here are some pictures of the rest of our weekend! 

On the Pier!

@ Sea World-He was posing for us!

V & I @ Sea World!

The baby sea otters! They were so precious, and we were able to get a special showing of them! :)

And last, but not least 'Shamu'!

Feb. Continued...

Ok so in the last one, I said at the beginning that there were tons of things that happened. Well Joshua and I also found out that we are going to have a baby! <3<3

Here is the first picture that i took of our little one growing! Were both sooo excited and are having a blast so far-and thier not even here yet!!!

February

So many things happened in February! <3 First our little monthly trip we went to Fountain hills-which happened to land on the same weekend that the biggest festival was there! It was so much fun! We thought we were just going to go up for a quiet little afternoon watching the fountain go off-but we ended up walking around for HOURS! Here are a couple of pictures!

I had to share this last picture-because this man was so serious about extreme frisbee. I should have taken a picture of his frisbee bag. I think he had about 15 back ups just in case! :)

January 2012

So i've decided that each month this year we are going to do a special little date/day trip! That way i have tons to scrapbook and keep memores with!
This January we went to Payson and spent the day at the cabin with our pups! Here are some pics to show how much fun we had! :)

Me and the hubs!

So far weve been having tons of fun out and about each week! Hopefully we can keep it up all year! :)

The end of 2011!

So many things have happened since my last blog-so here it goes!

Joshua and I had an amazing Christmas with all of our family! It was awesome to have the Waldron's down and spend time with them! But My family couldn't come down (that's why i went there for T-day)!

I went to the gingerbread house making party this year with a couple of girlfriends! That was a blast too!

(don't mind the date-its wrong!)

We went to Vegas the day after Christmas to celebrate a friends birthday! It was so much fun! We stayed on the old strip-which neither one of us had stayed on before-and had a blast! All in all we came home even! (After I won most of it back the last day!)

 






For New years-we went to the Moore's! And of course there was tons of drinking involved! lol Drinks were spilled, then cleaned up (not like you would usually clean them up though). We then taped fireworks to little toy trucks to watch them roll down the street-lit up! I also got drawn on! There was some fighting-then making up-and it turned out to be a great night!

So with all this said and done, Happy end of 2011! Slightly late.... But better late than never I say!

As I was saying...

So I finally finished the Hunger Games last night! And let me just say, I was thoroughly impressed with it! At first I was super questionable with reading it, because as my friend was describing it to me-I just couldn't get over how morbid the whole thought of it was! But upon further inspection, I ended up falling in love with the characters and feel that she did an amazing job with the story. :) So if you haven't read it yet, or you were questionable about it like I was, I give it a 2 thumbs up for sure!

And as for today, I finished addressing all of my Christmas cards! Hopefully we can swing by and pick up some stamps (because there are 40 of them...) and send them out asap! I want everyone to get them by Christmas! I don't know how this month has gotten away from me! Its already the 15th! Whoops! And hopefully tonight, I can get through the whole movie, How the Grinch stole Christmas before falling asleep in my husbands arms. :)

PS. Its Ice Cream Thursday today, because my boss deemed it so. Yum!

Its been a while!

My sisters and I! I love these girls soooooo much!!!! <3

Look at how amazing these colors are! I couldnt stop taking pictures of the dang tree's. Everyone knew i was a tourist. hahahaha

Us four and my momma <3

Us four and DC!

Anywyas... my trip was fabulous! I had such a great time visiting, but as always vaca's like that are always shorter than you wish them to be. lol

I met my foster sister Jas-and she's pretty rad! Im sad that i dont get to talk to her all the time, but i know shes in good hands with these five! There great to begin with, let alone when you add in all of these other calculations.

Other than that, Tday was good! The food as usual is always amazing. I can never get enough of them sweet potatoes! YUM! Im just sad that i didnt get to spend our first thanksgiving as a married couple together!

So i started reading this amazing book series called the Hunger Games. I cant believe it took me this long to jump on the band wagon! But now that i am fully seating and riding along, I LOVE IT! lol Im about 100 pages into the final one. Ill be sad that its over with for sure, BUT if it ends that must mean that they beat the Capital wich i am gung ho for! haha

Anyways, since then my BFF got engaged!!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED FOR HER! These next couple of years are going to be soooo amazing. I cant wait for the journey to begin! <3<3
