18 months already!?!?!?

andrew's and i 18 months anniversary was today! how fast time flew huh? our big day was nothing to special. it consisted of andrew at school til 4 then pita pit for dinner. the gym at 8 then grey's anatomy at 9:30... it was so eventful!!! oh wait then we had BBQ steak and cooked peas for our post workout meal. it all ended with andrew sneezing peas all over my leg. it was pretty sweet let me tell you. so there's our wonderful 1 1/2 years together. we had no pictures but there are already enough on here. i will tell you that i am so lucky to have andrew in my life and don't know how i ever lived without him. he completes my world as corny as that sounds, but i hear there are many fish in the sea for everyone.. i definantly feel different i'm pretty sure andrew is the only little fishy for me. i love you boo. happy half anniversary!!

Sunburn and Four Square

let me just tell about the absolutely lovely weekend andrew and i had...

friday was full of adventure for both of us! andrew went to bannack montana and jess went to an elementary for her nephew's FIELD DAY!!! i don't know how many of you remember field day but it is like the best day of a elementary kid's lives. the whole school participates and each grade goes around to different activities. i went with my sis in law carrie. matthew is her boy and abby and ryan as well. carrie and i had all the kids and abby was so excited to actually be able to play on the playground. matthew was having so much fun and was so excited about everything. it was a blast. when we finally went home we decided that we should go get a snow cone! (i am an addict to snow cones for those who don't know me well) this was my first snow cone of the season and MOM guess what i got.... a lime snow cone haha i know i know i vowed i would never get just a plain lime snow cone. i guess it shows ya to never say never. so i got home around 3:30 and it was so nice to just relax for a little bit. when my body touched the cool couch i knew i was in trouble.... i had the worst sunburn EVER! later my best friend brit called and we decided that we should have a BBQ on saturday because it was going to be so nice outside. so we went to the store to get some goodies and steak.

meanwhile andrew was having a blast with his photo class in bannack. bannack is an old ghost town in montana that is amazing. they say that the hotel there is haunted by a sixteen year old girl who drowned in the river. there were a lot of drownings and hangings there. there were even the old gallows on the hill. it truely is awesome. he got to go on a tour and even go into the masonic temple that is above the old school house. he was told that the mason's still meet there once a year for multiple reasons. so andrew got home around 9:50 and it was really good to see him. it's funny how you think it'll be nice to have a little break from eachother but then in the end the only person you want to see that day is your loving spouse.

ok so here's sat... first of all we were suppose to go to the gym but our guy cancelled and then we were gonna start packing the second bedroom but that never happened. so we lounged around for a few hours and went to the store and yadi yadi yada. fianlly it was time for brit and kelly to come over and we were so excited to eat and go out with them. our BBQ was delicious and everything turned out wonderful. (my husband can cook a mean steak!!) we decided that we hadn't been bowling in a while and plus it'd be somewhat of good exercise. so bowling it was.. kelly kicked all our trash. we were all secretly jealous but we played it cool. then it was back to our house for some mexi train! our 4's favorite game. i believe i won! woot woot!!

here is a lovely picture of andrew and i trying to blow a bubble at the same time... were pretty pathetic bubble blowers! also i don't know if you can see the sunburn line i have. it doens't look bad in this pic but it was severe. sunday was really good we have church early and so after it gives us time to eat lunch take a nap and then eat again 2 of my favorite things:) then it was sunday game night with who you might ask.. take a wild guess.. our 2 favorite people BRIT AND KELLY again! we played some mexi train and then the best part was we decided to play four square. let me tell you it was amazing. four square was awesome! all the neighbors were looking at us a little funny but we all knew they just wanted to play. maybe next time we'll invite them! it was really so much fun. so anyways i know this blog was long but i just had to much excitment!

Let's go fly a kite....

yesterday afternoon andrew and i decided to take our niece and nephew to fly these way cool inflatable kites that we bought them. andrew and i also bought a kite for us to fly and it looked like a shark! how exciting eh? we also played on the jungle gym in our courtyards. the kids had a blast and so did we. here are some crazy fun pictures of us all and a half side ways video for ya'll! (just a disclamer my pictures aren't as good as andrew's so don't expect great quality from these) ENJOY:)

here's abby on our jungle gym . the kids think that there is a monster that lives with us and comes to play on the jungle gym. his name happens to be "jim." carrie (our niece and nephew's mom for those of you who don't know) she says that the kids are always talking about the monster that lives at our house. they're quite infatuated with jim.
here's uncle andrew trying to help get the kites in the air. the wind was not in our favor this particular day.. lucky us!
matthew had a buzz lighter kite and abby had a barbie kite. they were so cool and worked a lot better in the wind then our shark kite. they were fun for the kiddies.here is me and matthew on this crazy in the air see-saw at the jungle gym.YAY i love to play!!!!! i'm just a kid at heart.....

We love the weekends

this weekend was so much fun! on friday night we went to dinner and a movie with our good friends brit and kelly. we decided to go to idaho falls and go see a movie but the show didn't start until about 9:50 so we decided to go to winco and fill up on candy... oh man we decided to weigh how much candy we got and it ended up being 6.5 pounds of yummy goodness that we all shared. haha (just to let you know we were definantly sick at the end of the night) brit and i decided that we should go old school and wear candy necklaces so we made the boys wear them too. it was great fun and we all looked halirous. here is a lovely picture of us all
so we saw the movie 21 and it was pretty good. saturday was nothing special we cleaned and just hung out with eachother which was nice to have a few hours to ourselves.
sunday was our nephew's baby blessing and we went to lunch at their house and it was fun to see everybuddy and to meet some new people and ryan looked like a little angle. he was adorable! so after lunch we went to the rexburg temple and took some way cute pictures of andrew's sister and brother in law's family infront of the temple. it was such a nice day! when we were done andrew and i went home to the house smelling wonderful filled with ribs in the crockpot. they were delicious! so then brit and kelly came over of course to play some mexican train!!!! woot woot. we had a blast. andrew won.... anyways there's our weekend it was a blast!

Ooohhh and Awwww

so yesterday night around 11 we decided to go get our favorite thing! SODA! horkley's is basically our hangout. yes a gas station is like our second home. our good friend works there and so everynight we go and get a pop. so right across from horkley's is the senoir center and a place called the medicine shop. when we get to horkley's we notice that the whole police force is surrounding the senoir center and the medicine shop. we are there for about 15 minutes and watched them. it was about the most exciting thing that has happened here in such a long time. haha so sad i know. there were people parked at horkley's and also standing with us. so as we watched, more police along with the medicine man showed up and all the sudden guns were drawn and the search began. the police went inside and searched the building... we all just stood outside and watched. it was intense. they didn't find anyone inside but anways it was pretty exciting and lame at the same time. good ol wed nights here in rexburg idaho!
