Ellie's Shower:

My mother, being the wonderful Grandma that she is, decided to throw a "Frozen Dinner" Shower for April this last Saturday. Everyone brings something that A & A can freeze, and just pull out and stick in the oven, or microwave then eat - it is super easy so they don't have to stress about meals. What a fabulous idea!


Seriously, what a cutie!! She is so tiny, and sweet! And look at those gorgeous eyes! Melts my heart! (but to answer your questions... nope, not baby hungry yet =)).

Audrey was being such a sweetie during the shower, she was so cuddly the entire night, I love it when she is. Here she is holding super tight to Grandma. I was so happy that Alexandra made it, I feel like I haven't seen her in forever - LOVE HER!

After the shower Kat, Tracie and I decided to hang out, help April and hang out with the kiddos. I decided to paint Toria's nails and toe nails then Audrey walked right up and put her toes out so I could do hers too.

They turned out adorable! I love these little girls (and Brady too=)) It was such a fun day!

**Vegas**

( Michael's siblings on his dad's side: Abbi w/ Sienna, Evan, Alyssa, Ethan and us)

For Memorial Day weekend this year Michael and I decided to make a quick weekend trip to Vegas... not to play on the strip, but to go hang out with some of his siblings that are living in Henderson.

It was such a fabulous trip! We flew in on Saturday night, and went to a delish dinner of Sushi on the strip.

Then on Sunday we headed over to the kiddos house to have a BBQ,

to swim and to just hang out.

Here are just a few of the many pictures we took of the beautiful Sienna,

She is so dang cute, and so photogenic too!

This is Michael's little brother Evan and his super creepy hoodie that he has....

So scary huh?!
Just hanging out at the pool!

On Monday we hit the outlet malls... and let me just say - I was in HEAVEN! They were so fab with all of the Memorial day sales!!! Then that evening we headed back over to there house for a wonderful dinner and to hang out a little more.

We don't get to see these guys nearly enough, and it was so nice to get to spend so much time with them. Although the trip was absolutely fabulous, it did have a rough ending: we were supposed to fly back to SLC on Tuesday morning at 6:30, so that we could both go to work... but at 12:30 am I woke up with some BOSS FOOD POISONING! YIPPEEE! PARTY IN OUR HOTEL ROOM!!!

So we missed our flight, as there was no way that I would be able to make the hour flight home... so we ended up changing our flight to the afternoon and eventually made it home. I must say, food poisoning is an AWESOME work out, my abs were sore for days! =) But that is about all it is good for.

Would you like a little Zac Efron for your Birthday?!

Happy Birthday Kathrin!

CONGRATS!!!

4 Years ago today...

Michael and I got married in Hawaii on Waikiki Beach! We were married by Reverend Kermet Rydel with just Michael and I present. It was about 4 in the afternoon, it was a perfect day (isn't it always perfect in Hawaii?!) After we got done with the ceremony, Kermet took 2 pictures of us and we were off to a gorgeous hotel on the beach!

In June, our wonderful parents gave us an open house, where we had close family and friends join us to celebrate our marriage.
To celebrate our 4 year anniversary we headed to the Zermatt Resort in Midway. It was fabulous! (We didn't take many pictures - sorry!) But here are a couple that we did take: Michael got a Blackberry Curve (let me just toot my own horn here for a second, he was so surprised, and excited - he has wanted one for years, but has been too cheap to get one... needless to say, he was pretty stoked!)

And my baby knows me SO WELL, he got me 3 shirts and 2 pairs of shoes - they are all SO DANG CUTE! I lucked out marrying someone with such fantastic style!

And now for the sappy part: I could not imagine my life with out my gorgeous, caring, loving, smart and thoughtful husband. He is my world. We are so blessed to have one another. I love every minute we spend together.

Happy Anniversary Baby, thank you for everything! I love you more than anything!!!
