Happy Anniversary!

You can listen to our stories and decide which anniversary was more fun! On December 29th 2007 we celebrated our 2nd anniversary. We had everything planned out. We were going to go to Salt Lake and see Temple Square and eat at a nice restaurant and we had a hotel already reserved for us, then we would head back to Rexburg in the morning.
What really happened was, we got stuck in Echo Canyon at a Weigh Station because our car wasn't working properly and we had to get towed to a small town called Coalville. The town has one restaurant, Dairy Queen, and it closed at 8pm just before we got there. We ended up eating frozen burritos from the gas station next door to the hotel. Then we got towed to Ogden in the morning where we spent 6 hours at Pep Boys while they tried to figure out what was wrong with our car. Once we finally got back to Rexburg our car broke down again and we have had to get rides from everyone this whole last week. We are out a couple thousand dollars and a car.
If any one knows a good deal on a nice car, let us know!!



Now you can compare that year to our first year anniversary. We stayed in a really nice hotel in the beautiful mountains of Montana and we went skiing for the whole day and had a blast. The weather was great and I learned to ski for the first time and found that I really enjoy it. We haven't gone skiing since then, due to the cost, but we are planning to go again soon!


It really didn't matter what we did, we enjoyed spending time together and we have had a WONDERFUL two years!!!!

Although, next year, breaking down is not in the plans!

CHRISTMAS!!!

We had a great Christmas this year and enjoyed spending time with family. Audrey was so much fun and happy all day so I started the blog out with her cute picture. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you all know we love you.

For Christmas this year we read the Christmas story and we sang hymns together. It was nice, even though it is hard to pay attention with Brianna around because she is so funny.

Every time we finished a song Brianna would say, "Okay! Let's open presents!"

Brianna sat down at the music stand and pretended she was directing us.


We got a very white Christmas this year and we all bundled up and went sledding! I think Brianna was the warmest in her puffy pink outfit.


Sledding was a blast with everyone. We went to the Elementary school playground and sledded down the hill. Then we took the sled and went down the slides on it! Brianna ate snow the whole time and entertained us the whole time.

Travis shovelled the drive way at the end of the day and Brianna had to help so she put her coat over her pajamas and helped until she got her pajamas wet and got in big trouble.

Sad to Leave the Nursery


Sunday, December 23rd was our last day of nursery. We had so much fun and are sad to leave these super cute kids behind. Many of them were already gone for the holiday but just check out how cute some of the kids we had!!



This one fell asleep every time. That's what happens when nursery is during nap time!




Super cute, hard to crack a smile though!




Sledding!!

We have had the best snow to go sledding! Travis and I had not been sledding in years so we went. The hill is a lot bigger than it looks.

Walking up the hill a few times gets to be a workout!

Travis raced a little kid down the hill and got totally wooped! Then we heard the kid telling his dad, "I beat this high schooler down the hill, it was awesome!"


We had so much fun, we wish that everyone could be out there with us!

Thanksgiving

This year on Thanksgiving we celebrated Brianna's 3rd birthday! She sat right down in front of her birthday cake and said, "Okay everybody, sing Happy Birthday to me!" She was so happy with all of her pony decorations.


It was like birthday for Brianna and Audrey, Brianna got tons of presents and Audrey got the gift wrap to play with and lick. She tries to lick everything now, and she has one loooong tongue!
Doesn't she make such a cute present!!!


Babysitting

Travis and I got to take care of Simone and Aubyn for a week while their parents went to Mexico. We had a ton of fun with them! Aubyn loved to play with my hair, but then the girls did each others hair, and I happen to think they look great and I have no idea why Aubyn wouldn't let us take a picture!!


We did other fun things, like go out to dinner, go shopping and watch the Bee Movie, but I just didn't get pictures. Thanks girls for a great week!!

Hunky Husband Survey

Sorry this is so long, but it gave me something to do at work and I thought it was really fun. So read when you get a chance. I think Travis passes with flying colors!

What is your husband's name: Travis

How long have you been married: Two years this December

How long did you date before you got married: 7 months

Who eats more: It is a toss up, but I think Travis can eat more most of the time.

Who said I love you first: Well, one night Travis said, “I think I love you.” And I replied with, “well, I know I love you!” So you decide who said it first!

Who is taller: Travis, but if I wear heels I am, luckily I don’t think it bothers Travis.

Who sings better: Travis is, even though he doesn’t think he is good.

Who is smarter: Well, Travis is smarter with business and math and with common sense things, where I am smarter with English and other things, we are both smart, just in different areas.

Whose temper is worse: That is a hard one, I think that we might be equal, neither of us have much of a temper, but we don’t have kids yet either!

Who does the laundry: Right now we take turns with who ever has the time when it needs to be done. But once I am done with school I will be doing the laundry.

Who does the dishes: The thing with all these questions is that we are both busy and we are both working and so we help each other and take turns, one day I will be a stay at home mom and I will do the house work.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed: Travis

Who pays the bills: We both go over everything, but I pay the rent, and utilities while Travis pays any credit card anything and the phone bill. We share most responsibilities. What can I say, I am a lucky girl!

Who cooks dinner: I usually do, but Travis helps when he is home. We is usually working dinner hours though and so we never eat together.

Who drives when you are together: Travis, he seems to think the car likes him better now that I haven’t driven stick in a while.

Who is more stubborn: I am, unfortunately I am one who always has to be right, but I am learning to let things go.

Whose parents do you see the most: Well, right now we are living with my parents until January so definitely them.

Who kissed who first: Travis kissed me!

Who asked who out first: Actually I asked Travis out, but he couldn’t go and then he asked me. So I was first to ask, but the date we went on what the one he asked me on.

Who proposed: Call me old fashioned, but isn't this always supposed to be the guy's job? Travis did of course!

Who is more sensitive: I am.

Who has more friends: We have all the same friends because we hang out with other couples, but since I have a job where I never see any one and he gets to meet people and talk to the outside world, I would say that Travis does.

Who wears the pants in the family: I don’t know. I am a girl and therefore good at getting my way, but Travis is the patriarch and he is a great leader.

Where did you meet your husband: I was going around to all the apartments in the ward to see who wanted to be on the ward softball team and Travis answered the door and he said that he would like to be on the team, I just couldn’t get over the fact that we had such a cute guy in the ward!

What was the first thing you said to your husband: “Hi, I was wondering if you or any of your roommates would like to be on the ward softball team.”

Where was your first date: Well, we are still trying to figure it out. We went swing dancing at the school and out to ice cream, but I never knew that was a date because he invited me and my roommate but she conveniently couldn’t go and then he asked just me out to a bon fire later that week.

Where was your first kiss: In my apartment after going stadium singing.

Where did you get engaged: In the park in Rexburg where we always went to talk and get away from the roommates.

Where were you married: Mount Timanogoes Temple December 29, 2005

How did your reception go: Too many pictures! But the place was gorgeous and the food was delicious. I was so full from the food I could barely down one bite of my wedding cake. It was nice to have the family there to see how happy we were and still are!

Where was the honeymoon: We went on a cruise to the Bahamas! We are still trying to get back to Paradise Island, the most gorgeous beach ever.

If you could have changed anything about it what would it have been: We would have spend more time at the beach and not been to cheap to just take the cab instead of walking all over the place.
Now I think that Ceecee, Mindy and Abby need to fill this out on their blog!!
