Dallin and Sam Sittin in a Tree

Dallin and Sam were married Oct. 8, 2010, in the Salt Lake Temple. President Monson sealed them. It was an amazing experience for me and Braden and I am sure it was way better for Dallin and Sam. We had a great luncheon right after pictures at the temple. The reception was that night. It was full of great food, friends, family and dancing. We are really happy for Dallin and Sam, and are really excited to have Sam in the family.

Marathon 2010

The Marathon is always the first weekend in October. Braden and I decided that we weren't going to run the marathon this year. I was sad i didn't run it when i was watching all the people finishing the race. Hopefully I will be able to run it next year. Lisa, Aubree, Dallin, and Lauren ran it this year and they all did great! I wasn't able to get a picture of lauren. She ran it in around 5 hrs. 15 min. Lauren decided the day before the marathon that she was going to run it. She hadn't been training at all. If i didn't train for the marathon I wouldn't have finished, so way to go lauren for running it and not dying.

Lisa hugging Addy as she passed. Her time was about 3 hrs. and 59 min.

Dallin finished around 3 hrs. and 35 min.
Aubree did it the fastest of them all at around 3 hrs. and 22 min.

1 Year Anniversary

It was our first anniversary on Sept 19 2010. Braden bought us these 2 sleeping bags for our anniversary. He also got me scriptures with Kaely Mitchell on them. I got him a new watch band for his watch he got in Ukraine. The 19th was a sunday so we celebrated our anniversary on Monday the 20th. I took the day off work and so did Braden and we headed to St. George. We went to the temple that morning and did sealings. We went to Judd's for lunch and the Gun Barrel for dinner. We got free tickets to Tarzan the play when we bought our washer and drier so we decided that would be a great thing to do that night for out anniversary. It was really good, but i got sick and so we had to leave at intermission. We had a lovely 1st anniversary and are looking forward to many more.

Ukraine Trip

We had the amazing opportunity last week to go to the Kiev Ukraine Temple dedication. This included meeting President Monson, President Uchtdorf, and Elder Nelson. We also got to go to and see some of the places where Braden served his mission. We had a great time.

Birthday Party for 3

Saturday May 15th, We all got together to celebrate Braden, Logan, and Callie's birthdays. We had a fun Pizza and Swimming party. Callie turned 1, Braden is turning 22, and Logan is turning 30. Braden made out with a bunch of great presents. Thanks to everyone for your gifts! My parents gave Braden a Tent that we are very excited about. Braden's parents and I gave Braden an Ipad. I'm not sure how great of an Idea getting him an Ipad was, but he was super excited about it, so I guess that makes it all worth it.

Happy Birthday to ALL!

Father's and Son's/ Girls Party

This weekend my Dad and all the boys Went to Father's and Sons. They went to Pinto for their party. I asked Braden about Father's and Son's and all I got out of him was it was a lot of fun, the night was cold, and I caught a blow snake. So that is all I have to report about father's and son's. The Girl party we had at Mom's house was a lot of fun. Friday night we went and swam and the Mitchell's house and then we went home and stayed up really late talking and watching some strange show called the Duggars 19 and counting or something like that. The next day I got up early and went running and then we all just hung out until 12 and then we went to Cafe Rio for some lunch. After lunch Mom, Jana, Taizlee, and I went to Old Navy to get some shoes for Callie for her birthday. Jana thought it was a great idea to try and get a picture of her and Taizlee with very large sunglasses on. Jana had a really hard time keeping the glasses straight on Taizlee's face hence the pirate eye.

Cinco De Mayo

We had a fun Cinco De Mayo party with our friends Matt and Alex, Victor and Sarah, and Jess and Nate. We had some good Mexican food, broke a pinata, then played Buzz Word! Before we started swinging at the pinata, Matt declared that the one who broke it open won the special prize that was inside. Nobody knew what the prize was until Braden busted the pinata open and won a lovely pickled sausage.....so nasty! The worst part is that all the boys thought that they needed to try it. We had a lot of fun and a lot of good laughs!
I'm really not left handed, so I'm not sure why I'm swinging that way
