Picture overload!!!

Ok get ready for the world's longest post and lots and lots of pictures. But oh well, that is how I document my life, through pictures. Tyler and I have had blast the last few months. We love spending time with our families. Picture above is from our Rose Family Christmas party (I love the pics of Hunts! Haha)

 For my birthday this year, Tyler spoiled me rotten! He showed up at work that day at noon and gave me a present and then told me that I would get a present every hour until midnight (cute huh!) Some of the things I got were... Modern Family, masage, trip to H&M, cupcake maker, flowers, cadbury eggs, dark chocolate, chocolate covered strawberries, diet coke, goblets and sparkling cidar, Just Go With It, dinner at Cheesecake Factory AND a night stay at The Little America Hotel. Spoiled? Yes I think so!

 23rd birthday, our elegant hotel room...

 The next day, we had brunch at the hotel and then went to our Stake Temple day at the Salt Lake Temple. It was so fun being wtih my husband non stop for 2 days. I am so lucky to have Tyler. He treats me so amazing.

 My family celebrated my birthday that weekend and I got to have my mom's famous chocolate cake!

 Supporting Hunter and Katelyn. Katelyn made cheer again and Hunter got his mission call... Roseville, CA!

 More birthday fun

 Easter was a blast. My family had a brunch on Saturday and an Easter egg hunt, it was so fun!

That night, I spent time with Julie and Grandma Shaffer and we made these fun cupcakes! Cookie monster, easter baskets and yes that is a bunny with bunny poo! Haha (Larry made Tyler and I that awesome dresser for Christmas!)

 This was the day Hunter received his endowment. It is amazing to think that more than half of my family has been through the temple now, only Katie and Hannah to go!

Easter Sunday pics..

And last, but not least, I got to spend some time a couple weeks ago with this little guy Jeter (Chrystal's baby). She was grateful to be able to take shower for as long as she wanted. He is so adorable and sleeps a lot!

Now you're up to date! I will try harder to make better posts in the future!

Well hey everyone! It has been FOREVER! I know, I know, I'm a horrible blogger. Life has just been so busy and crazy that I haven't had the enegy to blog. I am going to try to get you all up to date. First here is where we left off. Ty and I got some new family pictures taken by his wonderful mother Julie. I love them!

To be continued...

Tile byTyler!

Tyler has started a small tiling business on the side. He is so good at it and inexpensive! So if you have any jobs and were wondering who to call for tile... Call my hubby Tyler!(Because his name actually means man who lays tile! Hahaha) Call if you want more info!

What we've been up to...

 Ok, I know some of these pics are old, but I have been SO busy lately that I haven't had the energy to blog. 

Took some family pics (my mother-in-law is still editing them, stay tuned to see them!)

 My sister Lindsay and I made this adorable Mickey Mouse pumpkin for Drake

 All the girls decided to dress up, as for Ty.. I thnk he was going as a homeless football player..Haha, he was actually working on tile all night. 

 Lindsay prepared this amazing dinner for Halloween! I felt so bad that I had to work that day and couldn't help her actually make the food, but I did help her plan it! Thanks linds! Things we ate: Intestines (Chicken Noodle Soup), Skeleton Bone (Veggie Tray), Witches fingers (mozzarella sticks and pickles), Creepy crawlers (Plastic bugs in jello), Candy Corn (cheesy bread), Tortured mummies (Pigs in a balnket) with cups of blood (ketchup), Spiders (rice krispies), Witches Hats (Cookies with hershey kiss), Ghosts (Bananas with choc chips) and Witches Brew (homemade rootbeer). It was delicious! 

I got to babysit Drake a couple weeks ago and we had tons of fun playing in the leaves. He wanted to wear is "rar rar" hat all day. How cute!

Spent my day off getting ready for Christmas! I love all my decorations but my tree is by far my favorite! And I can proudly say that I have pretty much everything bought for Christmas! December you can now make your grand entrance!! 

FUN Weeks of October!

Right before October started, I went to Gardner Village with Julie and Kim. We have made it a tradition and now my mom and sisters have also made it a tradition. It was so much fun to go see all the decorating ideas, shops and get some cute new clothes & stuff for my house!

We have had such a fun October & it has been busy busy busy but we've loved every minute of it. The first week in October I was one of the guys and went Duck Hunting! It was a first for Ty and he did so good! He shot 4 ducks! I clipped one on the tail but it didn't go down, oh well. When you're duck hunting you get up way early and then wait until the sun is just starting to come up and then you just go crazy on the ducks! It seriously wounded like world war 3 with all the gunfire that was going off. The shotgun we used had a major kick and I had a HUGE bruise on my shoulder but it was totally worth it.

Listen Carefully, you can hear all the gunshots

   My mom did my hair in these cool curlers during conference and this was the result, I really liked it!

       

I got a creative itch and was sick of the color of our boring white door. It faces the street so that is the first thing I see. I felt like it blended in too much with all the other doors so... we painted it! It actually is a little brighter turquoise than it looks in this picture, it took a little getting used to, but I really love it now. This color is really popular right now and it just makes me smile everytime I drive past it! I also got that cute wreath on an Etsy shop that I love called SweetLeighMama. The Love sign that is shown in my past post I got at Garnder village at the Celebrations store and I love it. It is magnetic to I got magnets for all the seasons that I can put on it. So much fun! I really feel like the front of my house looks like "me" now.

Ty & I went to Park City for the 2nd weekend in October. We stayed at my the condos that my Aunt Nancy manages. It was such a fun getaway and was much needed. We have made it a tradition to have a little getaway in October every year. (last year we went to Salt Lake and stayed in a hotel, went to the Aquarium, etc) We watched movies on TV, went to the hot tub every night, played phase ten and UNO, ate at fancy restaurants, went to a movie, slept in, and much more. We love spending time together no matter what we are doing!

This is when my mom and sisters went to Gardner Village. Hannah and Drake dressed up in their Halloween costumes and looked adorable. Drake was loving his outfit and kept singing the hotdog song (from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)

3rd week in October we went Deer Hunting. Hunts shot a 4 point before we made it up so it was more like camping, but hey, I'm calling it Hunting! We got up really early and tried to shoot some coyotes, we were way legit too, in a blind and everything, but nope we didn't see ANYTHING. I pretty much slept while Hunts and Ty sat there for 2 hours. ( I think I made a good decision, haha)  It was so fun to spend time one on one with my Dad. I have always been the daddy's girl of the family and Hannah is following in my footsteps. I never wanted to be left behind when my dad would go hunting so I always got to go with him and help spot deer. They are some of my best memories with my dad, Uncle Wayne and Aunt Becky. I was the first kid he took hunting (before Hunter came along) and I am so glad that it is something I like to do. When you go deer hunting tho, it is definately "roughing it". Me and Hannah were peeing on logs and everything! Haha. One thing we always do every year is have SPAM. I introduced "reduced fat" spam to the bunch and they couldn't even tell a difference! haha. We had razors to drive this year and were definately spoiled. Usually we freeze our butts off but they have built in heaters! It was awesome. Such a fun weekend.

The 4th weekend in October we went with Linds and the girls to the Pumpkin Walk in Logan (or as Drake calls is "Punkin walk") They had some way cute displays all made out of pumpkins. My favorite was the angry birds. They look so real!

Drake is SO cute! I love to show him off as if he was my own! I hadn't seen him for a couple weeks and was shocked by how much he is talking and you can actually understand what he is saying now. At the pumpkin walk he kept couting the pumpkins and saying "Punkin?, Punkin?" They had Mickey made out of pumpkins and we didn't even have to tell him, he just shouted out "Mickey!" It is so fun watching him grow.

NOW YOU ARE UP TO DATE! :)
