Date Night/FHE

Tyler took me on a much needed date yesterday! We went to eat at Iggie's and then got ice cream after at a new place called Sub Zero. They make the ice cream right in front of you, it's really cool. To freeze it, they blast this sub zero freezing spray and voila, you've got ice cream! It was a fun night!

20 lbs lighter!

Look what eating right and healthy does to you.... Tyler and I have both lost weight recently and couldn't be happier!

Fair and Family Time!

This past week was the good ole' Box Elder County Fair! Tyler and I didn't get to participate in ALL of the weekly activities (that's what happens when you go to school and work full time) but we were able to spend the weekend up in Tremonton and so we didn't completely miss out. On Friday night was my sister Katelyn's first football game of the year to cheer at. She did so good! After the game, we took Drake out to the fair to ride on some rides (yes, it was 10 pm and yes we may have been taking him there for our own enjoyment since it was way past his bedtime!) He had so much fun but by the end he was very tired, as you will be able to see in the pictures! The rides he went on were the monster trucks, space ships, carousel, and a couple others. He loved spinning around and waving at us each time, it was so cute. I love having a nephew, he makes me so excited to one day have a child of my own! Saturday we slept in and then Mom, Linds, Drake and Hannah went out to the fair for some yummy lunch! Me and my mom had the Pauni Island food (the Pauni's are the polynesians from Logan that had an Extremem Home Makeover, the TV show.) It was delicious but expensive, $10 for half a plate of food, I don't think so! We walked around the booths for a while but got super hot and sweaty! We went home and tore our clothes off and were down to our g's, when good old Uncle B walked in the door! Haha Guess we should've remembered to lock the door! That night we went to the rodeo. It was just the same as every year, but still very fun! My best friend Kara met up with Tyler and I and it was so good so see her and hang out for a couple hours. Sunday was my mom's birthday! I won't tell you how old she is because she doesn't look it one bit! All the kids and dad made mom a delicious Sunday meal, it felt like old times. We need to remember to do that once a month! For her b-day, mom got an ultimate spa package with all the amenities from dad and the kids, Ty and I gave her a couple other things that are a add-on to her package. Linds and Rob gave her a super cute clock to go outside on the deck. We concluded the night with a fun skype call from Hunter, who is away at college at SUU in Cedar City. This weekend was a great one, I always love spending time with my family, now this coming weekend we will be going up to Lava Hot Springs to spend the weekend w/Ty's family! We are so lucky!

Mom's face is hilarious! Having fun at the BR game

Happy B-day mom and Hunter's hilarious web cam pics!

It's been a while!

Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. I used to be the kind of person that took pictures of everything, but lately I just haven't really felt like taking pictures, so this post will be lacking in that department! This summer has been really fun for Tyler and I. In June, we went to Lake Powell, which was a blast. The end of July I went to St. George for a girl's trip with my sisters, mom and nephew. So much fun! To see pics and here about that trip go to my sister's blog here..http://robandlinds.blogspot.com/2011/08/annual-girl-time.html She is the best blogger and has taken more pics of me this summer than I have! While I was gone to St George, Tyler started football camp with Weber State. A few days after I got home, and with lost of praying and discussing, we decided that Tyler would not be returning to the football team this year. To explain our/his reasons for this; Ty hasn't been happy in football for a while now, but we couldn't pass up that amazing scholarship that he was getting. The environment of a college football player was just so discouraging for him. If you know Tyler, you know how soft-hearted and laid back he is, well being around 100 football players (and coaches!) that drop the f-bomb and talk about the most profain things, let's just say, it started to wear on him immensely. Ty started to act differently, not as happy and just didn't enjoy playing the game anymore. After we made the decision for him to quit, we both felt really good about our decision and haven't regretted it since. Tyler got right to work applying for jobs and in a few days, found a great one! He is now working w/a roofing company, his job is to remove all the old shingles off of roofs that the company is re-doing. He likes it, even though he is so tired after! I told him, welcome to the real world! Haha. It seems like it's going to work out great because they will work with him and his school schedule which is awesome! Ty starts school this Monday and has some pretty hard classes this semester, but I know he'll do great! My job is still going good, same old, same old. :) We are so blessed for all the opportunities and blessing that we have in our life together. I felt so comforted when we were making such a big decision to be able to pray to our Heavenly Father for an answer, (if he should or shouldn't quit football), and right after we felt really good about it. Tyler is so much happier now and you know what they say, happy husband, happy wife, happy life! Haha. Tyler and I are so thankful for everything that we have. On a totally different subject, I have found a new blog that I love... I don't even know who she is, but she has a great blog where she posts DIY projects, decorating ideas, etc. And I've gotten great ideas for a baby room (not yet, one day!) so check it out, she's so cute..littlemissmomma.com. Here are some pics from our adventures...

A much happier husband! (wearing katelyn's awesome shorts!)
