I know i haven't posted anything for a while so here is a massive post with pretty much everything thats been going on since my last post. hope you can make it through it. I know i haven't posted pictures of our new house but we have been remodeling it a bit and once its all put together i will post some pictures.

So My little brother was having a bad day! So my friend steph nick and I went to ihop and we ordered "The Volcano" as you can see this bowl of ice cream was huge and we ate the entire thing! and yes we did feel a little sick afterwards but it was worth it! it was really fun!

Meet Bruno

This is our new dog Bruno! He is part shih-tzu part maltese. When we were on our way home from visiting zane and rachael we made an unexpected stop in cedar and picked bruno up. I had no idea we were picking him up. shandon kept it from me for quite a while he apparently made a trip up to cedar without me knowing a few days before our trip and bought him and they kept him until we were coming home from taylorsville. He is the cutest little puppy. He loves to play with anyone that will play with him. My parents have a maltese named jack who is a year and a half now and bruno gave him a run for his money. He kept trying to to tackle jack to the ground and jack kept running away from him it was hilarious. We love him. Thanks shandon for bruno you're the best husband ever!

Salt lake trip

Shandon and i went on a trip up to taylorsville to hang out with my sister in law rachael and her husband zane. rachael is doing student teaching up there and her husband for lack of a better way of putting it is pretty much suffering through it. So we went up to hang out with them. We went ice skating at the olympic oval rink in kearns and it was a blast. I haven't been ice skating in a forever and after how long it had been i didn't fall once. my husband knocked me over but i don't count that because if it wasn't for him it wouldn't of happened. after ice skating we went to sportsmans warehouse and cabella's to look for a hiking backpack for rachael then we went to ikea. i had never been there before and its probably my new favorite store. anyways we had a blast thanks rachael and zane for hanging out with us!

Valentines Day

Well with Valentines day being on a sunday i decided that i would make dinner for shandon on saturday night. I decorated the table with rose petals, and made tequilla sunrises without the tequilla and coconut shrimp and rice.

I also made breakfast for him on valentines day morning. We had french toast with strawberries and cream

Also shandon has had to put up with me asking for a dog for quite some time now....so i was really excited when he gave me some roses and a dog collar for valentines day. I was really excited that i had finally talked him into getting one and we could start looking. It was a good valentines day!

Drakes 1st Birthday

It was my nephew's 1st Birthday i can't believe he is one already! My sister in law whitney threw a "paw-ty" for him. all the snacks were in dog bowls, we had dog bone cookies and whitney and i made puppy cupcakes. We also made his birthday cake in the shape of a dog bone. Too bad he wasn't as excited about the cake as we all were but oh well. Everything turned out way cute!

Christmas 2009

For christmas this year shandon and i tried to spend time with both families since both our families live here in town. We had a christmas eve dinner with my familiy and after that we went to shandon's families house and as you can see from the pictures above we decorated gingerbread houses and reinacted the christmas story. mine and shandon's gingerbread house was a two story with two bedrooms and a bathroom. Sara my sister in law built a transformers gingerbread house it actually turned out pretty kewl. She won the kewlest gingerbread house prize this year. Shandon and I played the part of Joseph and Mary in the christmas story this year so i got to pretend that i was pregnant by shoving a pillow underneath my robe and i ended up looking like i was eight months pregnant with triplets. Tamron my brother in law got the lovely role of one of the angels and as you can see he took his part very seriously. On christmas day we opened presents with shandons family then went and opened gifts with my family. We later came back to my family's house to have a chrismas dinner and as you can also see from the pictures(keep in mind that it was christmas day and so i didnt get ready but i had to document my first turkey) i made the turkey. It was the first time i had ever cooked a turkey and i will have to say it turned out pretty well.
