Hello everyone. It has been a while since we last posted an update, so it seems like a lot has happened. (Look at the pictures below!)
Our Anniversary...
Taylor and I have now been married for 3 years! It is amazing how fast time flies! We celebrated by staying a couple nights in Yellowstone, and skiing at Big Sky! It was a blast. The roads were horrible on the way up there, so we knew the snow would be good. When we finally arrived, it was party time. The next morning, despite below 0 degree weather, we went skiing. It was a BLAST! The resort was not busy at all, we skied right on the lift every time. We had a lot of fun watching each other biff it, ( especially Tay's wipe out in the powder), and just spending time out in the outdoors together! On out last run of the day the temperature was only -8, but that didn't stop us. We were thankful for the hot tub when we got back to the hotel, because we were both frozen to the bone!
I love my husband sooo much, and I am so thankful that I was blessed with such a wonderful man as my eternal companion! Every day I wake up, I am reminded of how spoiled I am! It was so nice to get to sit back and remember the years we've spent together, and laugh. I love Taylor more than he'll ever know! Three years and counting!!!!
(pictures coming, we forgot our digital camera and had to buy the old school disposable one!)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
We spent Christmas with my family this year and had a wonderful time! Judd had to work, so his family didn't come down until Christmas night, so we really missed them. Jake and Crystal and Tyler came for Christmas Eve and we had a fun time with them. Jared and Jenny were able to come and spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with us. We had a blast watching everyone open their presents, especially the little kids. Cruz didn't quite understand the whole thing, but he loved opening every one's presents. We loved the great company and such good food (thanks mom)! Unfortunately, we got the flu the day after Christmas, which was no fun at all! I don't know how Taylor did it, but somehow he made it out without the flu. But despite the flu, we had a wonderful holiday. Of course, the best thing about Christmas is spending time together with the family. We really missed Jordan this year! I wish he could have come home for Christmas, it wasn't the same without him digging everone's presents out from under the tree! We love him so much! I love Christmas and the opportunity it gives us to spend a special amount of time thinking about Christ and the wonderful gift he is to us! I got the opportunity to get the choir program together (thanks to Jenny) and it was such an awesome experience! Christmas music is one of my most favorite parts of Christmas and it was just so enjoyable to get to share it with out ward! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
For New Year's we stayed in town, because Taylor was on call at the hospital. We spent it with our good friend's the Whyte's. They are such wonderful people and it was fun to get all the kids together and the adults as well. We had amazing food (Chad is an awesome cook) and played tons of fun games! We started the New Year out right, with lots of fuN!
I love January, because it gives us the opportunity to look at our lives and see where we need to improve. Remember a dream is just a wish, 'til you write it down! That includes goals! Good Luck!
Yellowstone...
On New Year's day, despite our dragging from the late night before, we headed to Yellowstone to spend a couple day's with the Lies Family! We had a blast snowmobiling, hot tubing, gaming, eating, laughing, and everything else! We had a lot of fun and didn't want to head home. Mark and Michelle, Brad and Marrissa, Us, Teigan, Jennie, and my mom and dad had a tons of fun in the snow. They had a lot more compared to a couple of weeks ago when we were there.
Our snowmobiling was an adventure...on our morning journey, the wind was blowing so hard, I was surprised we could even stay on. We spent a lot of time digging each other out of the snow, despite the wind pelting our faces at an alarming hard and fast pace. Up on top of the mountain, it was blowing so hard you could barely see a couple feet in front of you. But it's always more fun, when it turns into an adventure right? Well, my dad stayed in the hotel with Cruz for the morning trip, so he went with us in the afternoon, and Mark stayed behind with the man. Of course, my dad wanted to make the afternoon trip an adventure as well, so he got a stuck 10 minutes into our trip. We spent a good portion of our time digging ourselves out of that mess...but it was fun anyway.
It is always nice to get together and spend time with the family! We love them dearly! Love you All!
Cruz was strutting his stuff after church last Sunday...he was definitely posing for the camera and enjoying all of the attention.
Here we go! My favorite picture. You can now ask him how old he is and he will do this...isn't he cute?
Cruz loves his suit. He has already grown enough that we can't keep the shirt tucked in, because of his long body. A couple weeks ago, his suit practically drowned him, now he looks handsome as ever. (Thanks Nana and Papa Chelle!)
