Hockey Stinks

It's 9:30 at night.

Travis is out of town.

I'm bored and don't feel like doing anymore homework, especially

since I don't have to go to school on Thursday, so I decided to post a few

more photos.

Sorry if I'm wasting your time. :)

My brother, Andrew, is finishing up a degree at Weber in...Exercise science or something.

Anyway, he gets to be one of the people that runs out on the field/rink/ect. if

an athlete gets hurt to help them feel better.

He was working with the hockey team this past month, and when

Weber came up to Logan to play, Travis and I decided to join him...even though

I'd never been to a hockey game in my life and really had no interest. That's 

how much I love my brother.

It was fun.  But it also smelled AWFUL!

I was breathing through my mouth for the first quarter. 

And we only stayed for the first half.

The smell was probably worse since we were sitting right behind these stinky players.

It was fun though. And we got to see a fight. 

In other news, I made crepes for the first time in my life, all by myself.

They were delicious and quite possibly my new favorite food.

And I bought the nutella just for the crepes. Mmmmmmm.

Goodnight!

Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Me!

"Welcome to the quarter of a century old club" says my cousin Ryan.

I'm ok with that, 25 is gonna be a great year.

Yesterday Andrew, Shiloh and kids came up to Logan to help us celebrate.

We went to the outside skating rink and had a blast!  

Dallas was doing a pretty great job by himself, especially for his first time.

Travis opted out of skating and walked around with Walter. :)

Loved spending time with these people.

Notice my rad new socks above that Travis got me for my birthday.

Travis had to leave early this morning for a two week long business trip to Florida.

I didn't expect any surprises today since we'd celebrated yesterday. Oh, Travis

also took me to see Frozen finally.  I absolutely LOVED it.

Anyway, this morning when I came downstairs for breakfast Travis had left

this...

As well as a waffle and more batter in the fridge.

What a sweetheart.  

I was totally surprised. 

:)

I forgot to take a photo of my cake before we ate half of it.

So here's the last half.

So grateful for this awesome man in my life,

he makes everyday great.

And thanks to all my friends and family for the birthday wishes! It's been a fantastic one!

Baby

It's a BOY!!!

Nearly 20 weeks...

We had our ultrasound today (obviously) and we couldn't be happier!
To be completely honest, I had been hoping for a boy.
I would have been happy with a girl as well, but let's just say
I may have been convincing myself that it was a girl for the 

past 2 weeks just so I could be sure there would

be no accidental signs of disappointment when we were told the gender.

Really we're just happy for a so far healthy being.

In other news, I found some older photos so I thought I'd throw them in here.

Had a mission reunion back in October. First one I'd been to, and

probably the last.  Loved seeing these two ladies though.

We went to Temple Square to see the lights in December.

Travis and I created another masterpiece to replace the one we made

the year previous that was hanging on our wall.

Because we've done it twice, it is now a tradition.

For those of you who are totally awesome, you'll know about the Doctor

Who 50th anniversary episode that took place.

Andrew and Shiloh came up with their kids and watched it with us.

They made this awesome cake.  And it was delicious.

That's enough random for now.

First

Yesterday Travis and I had our first wedding anniversary!

This is the bench where it all started...sort of.

Anyway, we decided to take another picture there.

I'll admit it's not always easy, but it has definitely been

the best year of my life.

And I'm ready for many more years to come. :)

Catching up...

I haven't taken many photos lately, therefore I haven't posted much.  

My bad.

I found some random photos to post though.

And, life sure hasn't slowed down.

Stacey finished her second to last semester of school with all A's!

(Who cares that she only took one class this semester?)

Travis traveled to Florida for work again and enjoyed the warm weather

while Stacey stayed to suffer with all the Utahns in the single digits.

We had a great thanksgiving with Stacey's family.

First time in 4 years ALL of us have been together.

 In October Matthew returned home which was very exciting.

He got home the day before mom's birthday, so that was a great present for her.

And for those of you who have not heard and made it to the bottom of this short post,

Travis and I found out in October that we are expecting a baby!

In June.

No we don't know the gender yet....just in case that was your next question. :)

(We find out in January.)

That's all for now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Seattle, Washington

Part two of our recent vacation was to Seattle, WA to visit Amanda!!

However, our first stop of the whole trip was actually to my former neighbors,

the Heddings, who live in Kent, WA.

It was so great to see them, even though their two oldest daughters, one 

being my dear childhood friend are both married and live to far away to have joined us.

Such a treat to spend some time with them all the same!

We made it to Seattle and jumped right into the sights. 

First we headed to a sculpture park.

Then of course to the Space Needle.

It was so neat to see the city from that height.

We went to this fountain, called the international fountain (not sure where it's name comes from)

where music plays and massive amounts of water shoot from this alien ship looking fountain.

This was actually one of my favorite things. I could've sat there for hours.

Travis was brave enough to go touch it while the water had stopped...

as you can see, he made it out just in time, the water's coming. :)

The Fremont Troll.

Just a random artwork of a troll under an overpass.

We also drove about 40 minutes to go see this waterfall.

It was super foggy though, so difficult to get a good look at it.

Also, this waterfall claimed to be taller than Niagra Falls, which I still doubt.

 We totally got matching shirt at Pike's Market Place.

Speaking of Pikes Market Place, it was awesome. We loved all our time there.

Here was the random pig that Amanda put money in.

This was the greatest.  

We found a super nerdy shop which was full of Doctor Who things, Star Wars,

Star Trek, ect.  Mostly we geeked out over Doctor Who of course.

We may have spent half our time in that one little shop.

And the gum wall.

So disgusting, yet so awesome.

We all added a piece to the wall.

And thus ends our trip up North. So much fun and a nice break from work and school. 

:)
