Happy Halloween!!

Every Halloween I am debating wheather or not to dress up.

Every year on Halloween day I think "OF COURSE WE HAVE TO DRESS UP!"

Every year we scrounge up something last minute.

We had a blast this year wearing my mom and dad's old Halloween costumes.

Everyone else looked so cute.

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!!

Carter and Jordan as Vampires

Me'Chel as a Witch

And again..........

Mom as a Fremont Cheerleader and Dad as a Fremont Football Player

Raysh as a Scott

Conlee as a Nerd

Liese as a Ladybug, Capri as a Bee, and Dan as a Girl...... yes that is indeed Daniel, not to be fooled for Danielle. :)

Rainy Sundays Make Us Want To Do This...........

.........So we did! :)

On a side note..........

Have you ever seen a cuter, sweeter, happier faced preschooler?

I honestly haven't!!!

OH I LOVE HER TINY FACE!!!

I can't tell if she is smiling so big because she loves school, or because her hair is curled. :)

Weekend Get Away.......

This weekend Cart and I decided to get out of town for his one day "fall break". Yeah really, fall break for Weber State was a Friday....that's it. Well we packed our bags and headed to the little city of Wendover, which neither of us had been before. (I have been once to eat at the buffet.)

We had a BLAST in the 2 nights that we were there. We hit up the Seafood Buffet which I could seriously eat every day of my life!! YUM!! We played a little roulette, and watched people loose hundreds of dollars in minutes. (That part made us both sick though.)

It was a good get away! Cart has been working so hard in school! REALLY! I'm not just saying that. He had been so devoted and so dilligent! He gets little sleep and A's on all his tests even though his classes are pretty much death.

He needed a break and I needed him, so it worked out quite nicely. :)

Apparently this is how Cart thinks you dance in Wendover. :)

Us trying to take a picture with the casino sign in the back (didn't work so well).

One of many plates at the all you can eat seafood buffet.

You can even get 3 deserts......my dream come true.


A little roulette (or a little too much).

My Dress

This morning I looked through my dresses trying to decide what to wear to church. Still on the hanger, I would pull each dress out, look at it for about 5 seconds and then let go of it. "No. Not this one. What shoes would I wear with this one?........." Then I came to one dress at the back of the closet that I hadn't seen for a while. A dress that has a lot of meaning to me.

(Isn't it funny how such simple things can have such deep meaning in our lives? I love that!)

It was my dress I wore to my wedding luncheon after my sealing.

Memories and butterflies came to me. For that minute I remembered so much!

I remembered looking and looking for a dress to wear after the temple.

I remembered FINALLY finding that specific dress and FINALLY feeling like it was the right one for MY special day.

I remembered packing the dress night before my wedding to head to the hotel in Salt Lake City where I would be getting MARRIED the next morning.

I remembered changing out of my pure white temple dress and slipping into this dress in the changing room after all of our pictures had been taken after my AMAZING, PERFECT sealing.

I remembered wearing my dress into my luncheon at the Wight House in Bountiful. I was over come with a feeling of love looking at all the people who had come to support our new lives together, and for all the people who loved me so much to make the day so perfect.

I remembered walking out of the luncheon with my new husband with hours to spare before the reception.

I loved that day so much! Oh I loved it!

And I love my dress for all the good memories it brings back to me! :)

(At Our Wedding Luncheon March 7, 2009)

I decided I would wear it today. So I got ready for church with time to spare.

Carter and I were assigned to give the opening and closing prayer in sacrament meeting.

Carter went up on the stand and as I folded my arms to listen to the prayer, I suddenly realized that somehow I had forgotten something very important this morning.............. MY BRA!!! OOOOPPS!! Then I suddenly remembered that I was assigned to give the closing prayer. Oh boy! By the time Carter came back down to sit after giving the prayer, I was laughing so hard. And by the time I told him the delima, I had tears streaming down my face.

I now have another fond memory in this dress that I love. :)

(Before Church September 12, 2010)

Hope you all had a nice sabbath.

Don't miss out on my new favorite singer's concert tomorrow night at Bella's Courtyard in Farr West. :)

I'll see you there.

Typical Drive Inn Picture

Mouth full of junior mints, squinty eyes from the flash, hair in a sick side ponie tail to keep hair out of eyes, kissey lips to try to look somewhat cute. (I guess that's why you do kissey lips, I don't know.) = perfect night at the drive inn.

We found out our new jeep's back seats fold down and makes the perfect bed in the back! We seriously had such a fun night.

Mission Reunion

Zimbabwe Harare Mission under the Service of President Bester.

(too bad you can't see a single person.)

The Drive Home.........

Somehow my husband managed to reach to the back seat, unzip my camera bag, pull out the camera, take this lovely picture, put it back looking untouched, and keep driving down the freeway in the snow. AWESOME!!

We had a fun time with all Carts old mission companions though.

Lots of weddings coming up!! Can't wait to see everyone again!

1 Year Anniversary

Yes everyone, it has been 1 whole year that we have been married.

It feels so weird how fast the time flies by.

For our anniversary, we decided to take a couple days to relax in Island Park.

The funnest part was Carter came home with my Anniversary gift!

A NEW CAR!! (Well new to us!) Yep, a new car people! We sold our Mustang a week ago and have been car less.

We drove our new beauty to our destination:

Island Park: Land of relaxation: Leave your worries behind!

Did I ever picture myself fishing for my anniversary?

The answer to that question is a big fat NO!!

But hey, whatever you do in life, do it well! RIGHT??

So I had to break the Island Park family record and catch a 14 inch trout.
It was disgusting and so Cart had to get it off the hook for me and it just so happens that he ACCIDENTALLY dropped it back into the lake before I could take a picture with it!

(Obviously, he was just jealous and didn't want me to have proof.)

We sat in the hot tub every night and told each other we weren't ever going home.

Sad to say, the day came when we really had to come home.

I HATE reality.

But the good news is I get to come home with my husband and the fun never ends.

(and my new car!)

Bring on year #2

Valentines Get Away!

We had a great Valentines Day,

As I hope you all did too!
Cart made reservations at the Little America in SLC.

When we got there they had put out a Rose and Sparkling Cider. :)

My request for dinner was The Cheesecake Factory. :)

We got take out because the wait was literally 4 hours. Ha!!

We ate our deliciousness and rented a

movie for some outrageous price.

(Carter's favorite part of staying in a hotel is

to rent a movie in our room.)

We woke up and ordered breakfast in bed

before we cleaned up and headed home.

It was a perfect little get away.

It's always nice to have a little time with just the 2 of us.

This post has been edited for public viewers. :)

Dew Tour

We got to go to the Dew Tour on Saturday.

It was maybe the sweetest thing we've seen.

I feel like it was a dream because I can't believe I saw

such sweet tricks in front of my very eyes.

We had a blast.

P.S. My husband is HOTT!!

Our First Christmas Together

This was our first Christmas together!

It was just as perfect as we ever thought it could be.

We both couldn't sleep cause we were so excited to give each other our gifts.

We woke up at 4am and had all our gifts opened by 4:30 am.

Cart surprised me with a beautiful jewlery box.

I surprised him with his new found love, a hand gun.

We spent the days with our families and loved on all the babies.

Oh how I love our families!!!!

I love Christmas time.

It truly is the most wonderful tme of the year.

And I loved it even more spending Christmas with my husband!

Life is so fun!!
