wow, what a hole

It has been a while. 

Here is a costco sample of recent haps 

I graduated from college. This was my last day of class at BYU.

Sean cut the nast pony tail off. He wasn't happy about it so he made me take a picture in remembrance.

I won a bowl of goodies from Bear Country. This was a big deal. The last time I won something was in the 3rd grade when I won the raffle for the American Girl doll. Sadly, my sister "accidentally" ripped her leg out of its socket. That was the end of my American Girl doll days.

I turned 22.
I went to work and found these flowers on my desk and then came home to find a homemade Texas Sheet cake. I mean wow. Sean sure knows how to impress.

(Please don't judge us on our cutting board/washer dryer counter tops)

We headed down to Vegas for the Vegas Bowl.

Hung out with our friends Griff and Whitney a lot of the time 

Went to the Bowl Luncheon 

 Ate a lot of good food the whole week

 This was the beginning of the bowl game, I think right after Boys to Men sang the national anthem.

 Some of the wives I hung out with while the boys were gone doing football things. We went shopping everyday : )

Spent Christmas with the Fitzgerald's this year and couldn't get enough of this manger scene. Jeff looks like a terrorists and Mary may or may not be a man. 

Baby Michael was eager for Christmas to come. I sometimes question if Sean will love our kids as much as he loves baby Michael. He is always telling people about Mikey and I think he even has a picture of him in his wallet to show them. But who wouldn't ... look at him!

We hung out with these two in laguna

I really appreciate California weather these days. It's probably 12 degrees outside tonight in slc.

Went to CPK with some of my best friends from high school and their significant others. 

Love these two. I need Paige to join Morgs and I in slc asap

Played with my little Maximo. How could you deny those big blue eyes?

Got beat up by Jake man. He is a quick one.

We did a lot with our families over the break, I just never seemed to have my camera handy. We loved California and are counting down the days till we can go visit again! 

best picture of my life

I came across this gem as I was sorting through our wedding photos. 

 

  I just might blow it up

Rainy days

 We love our sunday walks.
Especially when they look like this.

It's a good thing they won, because sitting in the rain for three hours is not the most fun thing. 

We were in our poncho's not making any sudden movements just in case of water seeping through. 

While this lady in the black was up on her feet dancing and cheering the whole time. 

I missed sitting with  Lori and Pat during the game. 

They had some plane trouble and couldn't make it out this week. 

So I sat with my cute friend Whitney

Her husband is a receiver on the team as well, so we spend a lot of time together! 

Stung

I love making videos of my little sister. 

Something always seems to be going on with her.

I couldn't get the video to go straight.. sorry

The end is the best! ha

thursday nights

Somebody loves his new bowling class. 

Of course I took on the challenge of playing him and to top it off, we bet on it. 

Why do I do this to myself? 

I haven't bowled for maybe a year.

Sean bowled every week for the past month in a half. 

Yes, I lost.  

143-93

 But I think this whole bowling thing has gotten out of hand.
Rolling a watermelon down the isle at Costco ?
 Okay he wasn't bowling, just making reference to a Seinfeld episode to see if the fruit was good.
We got a few strange looks.

Welp, Sean is in Iowa with the team and I'm off to the movies with Peter and Abby. See ya!

Labor Day

Its that time of year... football season. 

The first game of the season was against Pittsburgh. We were on the edge of our seats most of the game..  they got the W so it was a happy day!

Patrick and Lori came up for the game too! 

Two days later, my friend Whitney and I ran our first official half marathon. 

It was oh so tiring but we had a blast training together and finally running it. 

This sweet peach was there to cheer me on at the start and at the end.

Then we headed down to Provo to be with these peeps. 

Thanks to Mike and Jake, a pinecone war was started. 

Ambush on Mike D.

Ambush on my Pops 

All the while, baby Max was feeling a little under the weather. Poor thing. 

We celebrated my beautiful mother's b-day too. I didn't have my camera handy for the moment, but she turned 30 as she does every year :) Love you mom! 

 

Then it was time for goodbye. Please excuse the picture. We sister's tend to get emotional whenever we leave each other (hence the black and white edit). Brooke is off to BYU-Idaho for her first year of college. I love it because she is now only 3 hours away from me instead of 10. Angie headed back down to Las Vegas, Brittany and Shannon headed back to California, and Abby and I stayed here in good old Utah. 

Until next time... 

So long Summer

Summer '10 was our first 3 months of newly wed delight.
Full of movies and cafe rio... it's all anyone really needs.
We have had a blast being with each other everyday and learning the marriage groove.

I have learned a few things about my sweet dear face:
- No matter where I hide, he never gets scared or even flinches when I pop out at him. Dark closet, behind a door, under the bead... doesn't matter.
- He is a very good cleaner. Best dishwashing skills I have ever seen.
- He secretly kinda just maybe likes the bachelor... just maybe.

Although the beginning of fall means that winter is just around the corner, I can't help but love the excitement of what lies ahead for us.
Goodbye Summer.
 Hello Fall!
