Babies and Rings

I love walking into a home and you can feel the calm and love. My friend Joni is amazing. She gave birth moved into a new house all in one week! Not to mention the house looked nice and moved in. You can tell she is a sweet momma. I love Joni and Rico and I am so happy for them! Congrats you 4 : )

Poor Gus.. I think he is feeling the shaft a little bit : (

Amanda holding Aria .. she was such a good little baby.

Amanda and Nate are engaged and I am thrilled for them! ( they came to visit the baby too and it was the first time I had seen them since Nate proposed on top of the empire state building)

Such a little princess.. this little girl will want for nothing.

Rico calls it her Blue Steel face ( reference from The movie Zoolander)

I loved little Aria's Bow !

We were all gabbing away about Amanda's engagement.. and I saw across the room Rico just loving all over his little girl.

Proud Momma and Aunt Crystal!

I don't look to bad with a baby in my arms ;)


Congrats Again to Rico and Joni <3

tiny back yard time!

John and Linds have been fixing up our cute little yard. It had a rough year last year and the dogs pretty much turned it into a mud patch. So John decided to get some sod and weather the fence with some red Paint.

The Puppies love the new grass they think its carpet ( at least I think they do).
Auroras cute little butt by the tree.. she is more interested in how everything smells

Its a nice lille patch work for now but it will look good when it starts growing. : )

John has many plans for the back yard so we might be getting some lights, cute chairs, and fire pit! Can't wait to lay out and read a book.

Things are great.

Ragnasty 2011

I love my husband, but he is consistently uncomfortable in front of the camera. I usually like to take picutre of the two of us when we do something awesome. Lately, I have been checking on him to see if he is doing his stupid face.. and he was , I was bummed and Lyndee took the picture anyway.

Riley is AWESOME.. and he did amazing in the race , he ran over 20 miles for us!

My dad brought his "buffer" its literally a car buffer. Apparently its great for moving sore muscles around. here is my Dad buffing his Brother Andy after his run. It was pretty funny.

AWE!! Aunt Heather owned this race, she was great about organizing it for us.

and a Huge thanks to my dad who got us the slot in the race for Christmas and rented the great 15 seater vans!!

This is pretty much the worst race ever. I know a lot of people will tell you its awesome .. dont believe them, we aren't meant to run several miles a day every 6 hours. Being stiff from the drive and lack of sleep its horrible! Well trained people may enjoy it but the weather in Utah this spring didn't allow me to get out as much as I had hoped. I stuck to a cross training with John and did some derby ( which i was at least in shape w/ a bum knee)

Anyway I guess as of now I am still bitter about the experience but I did enjoy the time with my husband and siblings.

Braydon Graduates : )

My little (very tall) Brother graduated from High School!
Braydon is one of the funnest people I know. Him and I would always tease about how we are the good looking ones in the Family.

We are so charming : )

Braydon on the Jumbo Screen

YEA!!! for he is a jolly good fellow.

Congrats to my Little Bro : ) ... Braydon just got his mission Call to Oklahoma! He is going to be leaving us in September. He will be the cutest missionary on the planet.

The Reception...

Our reception turned out so beautiful.My cousin Whitney made the most delicious gorgeous dessert table. She put in so much work in for it and I love and appreciate it more then she knows. She helped tie everything together.

Everything was so great.. All my family and friends that came out I hope you enjoyed your self.

We practiced some songs and played for everyone on our Ukuleles. I love my family.

I am not sure how many more pictures to post.. It was just a wonderful event. : )

the "box social"

John is hilarious to me, I don't know anyone who can make me laugh like he can. John was in charge of our reception invitations. He didn't want to do a traditional fancy picture, with fancy words. A lot of my friends said they liked that they didn't feel guilty throwing it away when it was all over. He found an invitation from a Simpson's Episode. Homer was watching the mansion for Mr. Burns. He wanted to throw a party but Marge went thorugh a list : No Parties, No Partays, No Shindigs, No Keggers, No Hootenannies, No Mixers, No Raves, No Box Socials. Homer gets all sad .. but i had a great invite for a box social.. then he throws them in a fire.

John copied this link and photo-shopped it to fit our own.

Married on the beach

I just wanted to keep this simple. I wanted an intimate ceremony. I was able to tell everyone how much I had faith in Love again. I am really lucky to share this beautiful day with my family and friends. It was a Gorgeous day in Key West Florida May 16th, 2011.
I love you John : )
