Year in Review

So i guess it's no secret I'm really bad at keeping this updated. So the last blog entry was about Seth's birthday over a year ago. I'm going to give you the highlights of what's been going on since.

Right after school ended, Seth and I headed to Florida for a week for our official Honeymoon. We spent most of the time at Walt Disney World. It was my first time back since my internship there back in 2005, and it was Seth first time ever. I loved showing him all my favorite spots and seeing all the new stuff they added. We had a blast. He keeps asking when we're going to plan another trip.

Our first day was at Typhoon Lagoon! So much fun!

Seth loves the tea cups. Me, not so much.

I love our wedding Mickey and Minnie ears!

We also got to go to the new Harry Potter World at Universal Studios! LOVED IT!

Butter Beer is soooo good!!

Last summer we were only able to get up to Idaho to visit family for about a week, but we still had a great time. It was Seth's first time to my parent's house in Idaho, and his first time back to Idaho since his mission. Technically Seth didn't serve in Burley, but he was right outside it. His mission was the Boise mission that went all the was down to Twin Falls, but no farther. To think, he was right in my back yard for two whole years and I didn't even know it.

So it's been over a year since my last blog entry.


Playing Crockett with the fam in the back yard.

I don't remember what I was laughing at but this is one of my favorite pictures.

A visit to Shoshone Falls.

We climbed down to another waterfall right outside of Twin Falls.
We didn't even know it was there, Seth showed it to us and convinced me to climb down with him.

Seth and I standing in the spray.
He climbed down even farther, but I didn't want to get wet so didn't go.
I haven't heard the end of it yet.

The rest of the summer we found ways to entertain ourselves around Cottonwood.

There's a place up near Sadona where you can fish for trout and just pay for what you catch.

You have to be really good at fishing with poles. Which took some getting use to.

It took about two hours, but finally Seth and I each got a fish.

These were the firework for the 4th from the top of Seth's parent's roof.
Seth and I at the Verde Valley Fair on the Farris Wheel.
Once School started for me, life got back to the normal chaos. Seth started his school for Massage Therapy in October. Nothing much report worthy happened until Thanksgiving when we went to Texas for a week to spend it with Ashley, Jordin, and Pailey.

Cute Pailey hugging her pancake.

She loves her Uncle Seth.

We had lunch on the beach!

Walking along the beach. Ok, not just walking. ;)

At a sea food restaurant. It was really good!

Playing the Wii, a family event.

The whole family sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner.

This is just funny. This is how Ashley finished our Christmas presents for us while we were there. She's a nut.

Once December came, life got a little more crazy. My birthday, our anniversary, and Christmas, all come in a two week period. Yeah, life is crazy.

My Birthday. Seth surprised me and got me a red velvet cake from Cold Stone!

We splurged for our First Anniversary and went to a nice dinner at the Casino.

I surprised Seth with this dress. It took a few extra minutes to get his jaw back off the floor.

Our little Christmas together. Very different from last year when we had all seven of us (mom, dad, Ashley, Jordin, Pailey, me, and Seth) but we had a great time for our first Christmas just the two of us.

Seth loves his pocket knife 'Charlie', but forgot it was in his pocket when we were leaving Texas and
had to toss it in the trash before we got to airport security. This was first Christmas gift, 'Charlie Jr.'

Our Christmas haul.

After the new year, life continued in it's usual crazy way. I do have more photos of all the things we did, like a trip to the renaissance fair, Seth's graduation, and his birthday. Not to mention we're currently in Idaho for three weeks and plan to do a bunch of things including a trip to Lagoon. I promise it won't take me a year to put them up. I hope.

Birthday Camping!

Well, try two at keeping a blog, but at least now I have some one else to write about. And today is even his birthday!

This past weekend both Seth and I had three days off so his sister Amelia and I kidnapped him and took him camping.
I tried blind folding him but it didn't work out too well.
We went up to a spot called Canyon creek above Sadona. We were right near a creek that was great for hiking and rock hopping.
Seth and Amelia climbing a large rock.
We also went swimming on the second day at Red Rock Crossing, but it was frezzing!! Amelia jumped in, but mostly because Seth tricked her. He said he would jump in if they both went in together, but it didn't really work out that way. Amelia jumped in and Seth didn't. She wasn't too happy about that.

Seth and I only sat in the water just up to our mid-chest. It was so cold!! We didn't get in any farther than that and Seth's other sister Keira didn't get in at all. We plan to go back later this summer when it's warmer. Much warmer!


Freezing at Red Rock Crossing.
 But we had a great weekend and can't wait to do more camping this summer. We just have to find the time to get off from work and that pesky thing called responsibility!
