Last Week's Trip to The Zoo

Weston loves geese! He's always hollaring to the ones that hang out around our place.

He was pretty scared, so his cousin helped him down the slide.

Oscar got baptised recently. So did Chris. We are so happy for them and proud of the decisions they have made. My favorite thing about the gospel of Jesus Christ is how it enhances joy and happiness in my life. It helps the trials that life throws me literally feel more bearable. It focuses on and helps strengthen family relationships to create amazing love and peace at home. I'm so happy you'll be able to experience this as well.

Sarah & Oscar's Wedding

I made these wedding invitations. Aren't they cute?

If only Brett didn't close his eyes!

Beautiful Bride. I love her shoes, too!

Big Doors, Little Boy

"Can I be your best man, Oscar?"

Brett's little sister Sarah got married last month. It was a beautiful wedding.

Congratulations Sarah & Oscar!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day this year was really fun! We invited a couple of couples over to our house that have kids about the same age as Weston. We had Fettuccini Alfredo, breadsticks, salad and had a Marie Calendar's Razzleberry Pie for dessert. It was so great! I'd never made fettuccini or alfredo sauce so I was a little nervous, but I thought it turned out really nummy! The kids had fun playing together also.
Us having a little get together was my idea and I had an ulterior motive that went along with my philosophy: If you don't have motivation to clean, have a party!
I had no motivation to clean and Brett still had a couple of cabinets that needed to be painted, so we decided to have a party. First of all because it would be really fun, but the other benefit is it got us to clean our house (except for our bedroom which with it now being March, is still on my list). And silly me, I forgot to take any pictures at our get together.

Here's pictures of the chocolate covered strawberries I made, and My ValentineS on the way to church.

Singer/Conductor

I'm a den mother for cub scouts and Weston always comes with me. He loves the boys and to run around like a crazy kid in the church- which is pretty exhausting for me. One day he stood up on this chair so he could reach the music leading podium thingy (whatever that's called) and started singing/screaming loudly and saving his hands around. It totally surprised me because he's never done that before but he must remember about singing and music leaders from church. It was really cute and made everybody laugh. I think it's so cute when he picks up the hymn books at church and sings. He loves instruments too. I'm thinkin' he's going to be musically inclined! Bytheway, that shoe that's missing on his foot, he lost that day and is still missing!

YOSHI'S

Matrix Roll Fried Shrimp, Avacodo & Spicy Mayo. MmmmMmm

YOSHI'S Japanese Grill is one of our favorite places and is on www.UtahsRealDeals.com where we bought 1/2 off certificates. Weston enjoys it, too. He loves the Teriyaki chicken, veggies & rice. My favorite: Matrix Roll with fried shrimp, avacodo and spicy mayo on top. MmmmMmm. I don't like sushi because of the uncooked factor, so this place is great for people like me. Brett loves sushi, but this is cheaper, so I guess it's good for people like him, too. =)

Go, Jazz, Go!

YAY, WE WON!
In January, we got to go to a Jazz game! This was our Anniversary weekend, but we got to take Weston to his FIRST Jazz game! Upon entering the stadium, he exclaimed, "WHOAAAAAAA!!!!" Ran inside, stopped, looked around and screamed again, "WHOAAAAAAA!!!!" He's a crowd person, I think. He watched the ball forever, until he finally spotted the Jazz bear that we were trying to point out to him. I think he loved it! I love Jazz games, but I have to say, watching Weston's wonder and enthusiasm made it so special! He even caught (with Daddy's help) a little stuffed basketball that one of the Jazz girls threw to him. We were so happy we got to go to this game!
Afterwards, we went to the Planetarium.
Weston, Daddy & Meteorites!

Baby Moon Walk!

How 'bout that weather!

6 Year Anniversary

Real Classic Ford Truck!

This was our bed. It faced a projector movie screen!

We turned the stereo on in the car and danced outside of the truck.

Our HUGE bubble tub

January 31st, Brett & I celebrated our 6 year Anniversary! It was so much fun!!! We stayed a night at the Anniversary Inn in Logan in this super sweet room called none else but, "Rich's Drive In." The bed was in the back of the truck, and there was a projector screen. It had an awesome bubble tub and rain shower. We went out to a local Italian restaurant called La None that I didn't love, but Brett really liked it. He got veal ravioli, which was actually pretty of good. I got the Arrabbiatta Penne (angry pasta.) I like spicy, but it was WAAAY spicy! The Inn also delivered candy, drinks, cheesecake to our room, and breakfast in the morning!
Chris and Laura & Grandma babysat Weston and he had a ton of fun with them and their dogs! Thanks, guys!! We totally appreciated it!

Brett, I love you! You are the best husband to me! This was my favorite Anniversary yet! I look forward to all the Anniversaries for the rest of our lives together! You are the BEST!
