Surprises like this from my husband, who remembered we had been married 6 months in July!! (wow time flies!)
These sweet little kids that Bryce and I get to be a part of their lives.. Aren't they CUTE!?!
Funny little Dax! He's such a busy boy but I just love having him and helping Capri for a bit.
Doing hair!!! These girls let me do pretty much whatever I want and it is so fun to try new things on them!
My sweet Lola.. She is seriously the best dog and so good with kids! Sky, Sailyr and Dax all just love her and she gets so excited when they walk through the door.
Do I have the cutest parents or what?? Aunt Shirlee has this tandem bike my mom just had to try so she made my dad get on and go around the block with her.. I'm sure the people in Morgan were highly entertained!
Once again, my girls! I don't know what I'd do without them!! They have become such a huge part of my life these past 3+ years and I feel so blessed to be able to spend time with them. I love them so so much!!
And last but certainly not least, my amazing husband! I cannot believe we have been married almost 8 months! It has definitely been a roller coaster getting use to married life but I am so lucky to be able to share this ride with Bryce. What a great guy he is, always willing to help me or anyone else with whatever they need.
I found myself tonight in a bad mood and being bugged with things and felt like I needed to check my negativity and realize what all I have to be grateful for!! Thanks so much Bryce, Capri & Tyson, and Travis & Sierra especially for letting my be apart of your families. I love you all so much!

It's me... again!

I know I am such a slacker when it comes to updating... but for those of you who still check, hope you enjoy!! These first few months of marriage have been a huge adjustment for both of us! It is so different having someone around all the time but at the end of the day we enjoy having someone to come home to. There are days when I'd like to give Bryce away for a minute but I love being married to him and would want him back before long :)

These are just a few of our wedding and bridal pictures.. We both seem to like the same ones so I hope you enjoy! I will try to be better about keeping you all updated!!

Did I mention it was FREEZING?!? But I love the snow in our pics.

We had a lot of fun and have been so happy with the pictures Julie did. She was awesome to work with and made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Thanks Julie Bailey Photography!!!

Eternity is a long time but I'm so lucky to be able to spend it with such an amazing guy! I love you babe!!!

We are engaged!! Bryce proposed on Oct. 30th so we will be getting married on Jan. 26th 2011! We are both very excited!! Things have been going pretty smooth so far so lets hope it stays that way.. I'm beginning to realize why people elope!! Wedding planning is a lot of work but thankfully I have a mom who has been such a big help. I will try to update on all the wedding details :)

I'm back!!!

Ok.. I decided I had to do a post so that it wasnt quite a year since my last one! I know I'm terrible but I now have access to a computer again so I swear I'll do better. These are just a few of the things I have been up to lately so hope you enjoy! All of my friends went to Disney land for spring break. We had so much fun and I'm ready to go back!

I'm still tending these cute girls on mondays and I love it! Skylar had an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite.. look at her poor eye and as usual Sailyr is more interested in her treat :)

Daxon's silly mom (Capri) finally let me watch him.. He's only 11 months old now, it's about time pri! ;) He is getting so big and is such a cutie!

At work Perry always posts our retail numbers and last month, you guessed it, I was "numero uno" I don't think i've ever even been in the top 5 let alone number one so I was way excited about this accomplishment.

And finally little miss Lola is growing as you can see and this is a picture of her haircut. I decided she needed to be cooler this summer so I had her shaved! She loves it and I love not having to vacuum a thousand times a day!

That's about the gist of my exciting life but I hope to keep you all updated even more!!

Oh boy!! Things have been so crazy that I have not had time to blog.. But believe me, I have plenty to blog about! I am officially a homeowner!! Crazy I know but it's been a lot of fun and I am loving my new house. I will post some pictures soon! So needless to say I have been moving and getting things situated in my house and don't have internet! So my goal is to keep you updated on things but no guarantees :)

Introducing Miss Lola Bell! I decided a while ago I wanted to get a dog.. I'm not your usual girl who wants a little dog I can carry in a purse, I went for the big one! She's a yellow lab and I got her from my friends the Holmes'. Lola has been such a great dog and a lot of fun. She has tons of energy and gets crazy sometimes but has been great! Below are the pictures from when she was little tiny until now...
After some very careful consideration and very tough decision on which one to choose, I finally found MY puppy!! She is definitely the cutest of them all! (Looking right at the camera of course)
This is my little Lola.. She is the sweetest and best dog ever!
This was taken the first night I brought her home.
Tahler tied a cute big pink bow around her neck.. She's a little leary of the kennel as you can see..
It has been so fun to have this little puppy, who is now getting quite big! She loves to sleep on my bed on the pillows. She is the best birthday present ever and I just love her. Thanks Tah and family for all your help with her and thanks Jo for taking most of these pictures! :)

What a fun weekend it has been! Friday Night Heidi and I went to dinner at Olive Garden and then went to see "17 Again".. Although we are both older, we still totally think Zac Efron is HOT!!! It was so much fun! Then tonight (saturday) Capri and I went to a movie. We saw "Obsession" It was intense!! But a good movie!
Capri's belly is growing and It's so much fun to see. She is such a darling pregnant girl and I have enjoyed spending time with her and talking about this new little baby boy that will be joining their family in August. Pri will be such a great mom and I'm so excited for her and Tyson.
Of course this wouldn't be a post without a few silly Heidi and Kels pics!

I'm so very grateful for such wonderful friends who are always here for me and such great examples to me. What a lucky girl I am to have such wonderful people in my life. Thanks girls for a fabulous weekend! Love you both!! :)

So cool!

Today was quite the day!! On Mondays I watch
Skylar and Sailyr and today we got to do lots of
fun things! Sierra (their mom) called this
morning to tell me Skylar girl had been sick
during the night and needed to go to the doctor
so I took them both to get checked out and make
sure they were OK. Wow let me just tell you moms out there, you are my HERO! I love these girls and they were so good but it is a lot of work! :) So we got done with the doctor and headed to my moms. Kenz was home and Skylar fell asleep with her on the couch, SO CUTE! Who doesn't love to cuddle with a darling little girl?!? After she woke up, Kenz, my Mom and I took them to feed the ducks!! It was such a fun thing to do and we were loving the nice weather!!

At first Skylar wasn't sure about the ducks..
Sailyr was watching all the seagulls flying around us!
Then... They loved it!
What fun girls :)
We had so much fun neither of the girls wanted to leave, hence the sad faces and tears...
Skylar pouting.. She's still so cute even when she's mad!! :)
Here's her happy little self!

Sailyr has the funnest personality and it makes my day when she smiles. I love these girls so much and I'm so glad I get to spend time with them.. Thanks Sierra and Travis for letting me be a part of your girls lives!

So last night Heidi Tara and I went down to SLC to meet up with some friends. We went to the piano bar called the Tavernacle. It was so much fun! Here are the pics from our night..
Harper, Spencer and I
Me and Heidi having a blast!
This is Tara. She is new to my blog but hopefully will be seen alot more in future posts :)
This was so fun! They were playing Y.M.C.A. and of course who can hear this song and not dance?! Not us! We had a blast! Thanks so much Spencer and Harper for inviting us.. Hopefully we can do it again soon!

~Thank heavens~

Oh wow! Heidi and I definately needed a shopping day! And today we got one! It has been so hard with work and school and Heidi's new boy toy ;) for us to get together.. I miss her! Today was my day off and Heid got done with school early so we went to lunch with my mom Lexie and Baylor. After we went to the mall to do a little shopping.
We LOVE to take pictures when we are together and of course have to pull faces in at least one of them :)
Thanks so much Heidi for hanging out with me today! It was so much fun and much needed. Love your guts!

Valentine's Day with the girls!

2009-02-15T07:56:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day is always interesting when you are single.. This year was pretty normal however. I went to work and of course when the delivery guy walks in with flowers you always wonder who they are for. Those of you who know me know that I get a delivery every year.. No no, not from a boyfriend or friend or secret admirer, but from my dad. He has sent flowers every year since I was little! This year nothing came and I was beginning to think maybe he didn't have time. As I left work I was a little disappointed but figured ya know, he's a busy guy so it's all good. I went home to get ready to go out. Sierra invited me to go with her and her friend Holly out to dinner. Their husbands were out of town so it was just us girls. When I got out to my car to leave there was a long stem red rose on my windshield.. I guess I do have a secret admirer!! ;) We went off to dinner and tried 2 restaurants before getting in at Roosters in Layton. While we were there my dad called and said sorry I didn't get your flowers to work but they are here at the house. It made my day! I'm so glad Sierra and Holly let me tag along on their girls night. It was so much fun talking with them and laughing.. Thanks girls! And thanks Dad! It means so much to have you in my life! Hope everyone had a fabulous day!

As most of you know Heidi, Capri and Kadee are all married now and Ashlee is not far behind them! Since they all have so much going on with their husbands and fiance now we don't get to spend as much time together as we use to.. Tonight however, we were able to go to dinner and do some catching up. Heidi doesn't make it as often so it was fun to have her there. We went and ate at Applebee's because Capri (and baby.. yes she is expecting :)) said that sounded good! It was so fun to hear about Ashlee's wedding plans and see the new ultrasound pictures Pri got this week and also to talk with Heidi. I'm so grateful for my wonderful friends and enjoy getting to see them! Love you girls!!

L.A. Auditions with Sher

2009-02-06T19:59:00.000-08:00

Sheridan and I went on a quick trip last week (and I mean quick!) to L.A. for the America's Got Talent auditions. Sher had a call back and didn't want to go alone so I tagged along! We had so much fun even though we were only gone for a day.. Here are some fun pics of us:
On the Plane at 6 in the morning!
The sun was shining in L.A. and it was fabulous
When we got to the convention center we accidently got into the citizenship line instead of the AGT line.. oops! :)

Here we are eating outside in the 75 degree weather.. It was such a fun trip and so worth the money to go. I can't wait to hear if she makes it to Vegas... Cross your fingers!!

Here goes nothing!!

2009-02-06T18:59:00.000-08:00

Well this is my first official post as a blogger! So many of my friends have blogs so I decided to start one of my own.. I don't have a husband or any cute kids to blog about but this should be fun! :)
