Memorial Day Weekend

We had a blast camping this past weekend!  Barton and I took our nieces and nephew camping for their first time.  We went with some friends in the ward and had tons of fun…..

3 years on the road to eternity!

We had a great 3 year anniversary celebrating the happiest day of our lives!

Barton had a big test the next day so we had a wonderful dinner and then spent the night studying.  For our  anniversary he made me the coolest thing ever……pictures to come later. 

I love you my Handsome Husband! 

 

Barton turns 26!

This past May we celebrated Barton's 26th Birthday! We were very happy that his birthday was on a Saturday so that we could spend the entire day with each other!

The Wonderful World of Disney

Here are some highlights from our recent adventure to Disneyland....

Sloan was my new best friend for the week. We did EVERYTHING together! I am going through withdrawal!

Celebrating Mom's Birthday

Lots and lots of rides:

The Tiki Room

The scary ferris wheel
Preparing happy thoughts for the Peter Pan ride.

Sweets, sweets, and more sweets.

Meeting the different characters.
(Being with kids makes it a lot more magical!)

Thanks Brooks, Mom, Josh, Ethan, Sloan and Mason!

A quarter of a century!

Wow....I am 25! Yes my friends, I have been alive for a quarter of a century. Of course we had to celebrate! What a great birthday! Thanks to all of you for the cards, packages, phone calls, texts, etc! It was a great day. Here is a glimpse of the birthday celebrations...


This was the first birthday that I didn't celebrate at home. Even while living in Idaho we would go home to party each year. So we had to be creative....

We had a party with some of Bart's family Saturday night. Great food and great company!

Time Well Wasted

If you know Barton, you know he LOVES to sing. If you know Barton well, you know he LOVES Brad Paisley! (In fact, his brother even sang a Brad Paisley song at our wedding breakfast). One of Barton's Christmas presents was a pair of tickets to a Brad Paisley concert. We went with our friends Noel and Amber. It was a blast!

In the words of Brad Paisley himself, "It was, Time well wasted and there's no way I'd trade a few more dollars in my pocket I could of spent for a 'date' that I'll never forget! No I, Didn't get a thing done, but I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were makin'... And I count it all as Time Well Wasted"
