Our little buddies

This last weekend Zach and I babysat our niece and nephew for 3 whole days...and it was a BLAST! They were so good and me and Zach had fun playing mommy and daddy. Zach and Riot were best buddies! They played in the snow together and Zach built a fort for him-Riot called it a fart. But unfortunatley 2 year old's don't stay interested for long and he didn't really appreciate it as much as Zach did ;) Tayvia was crawling like crazy and getting into everything in sight. We love these kids so much and Zach is the best Uncle in the world I'd have to say! They were probably ready to get the heck out of here by the time day 3 rolled around but right after they left me and Zach missed our little buddies! Thanks for trusting us with your children Karlie! :)She is so stinkin' cute-I can't get enough of her

This handsome boy is dang smart and has the funniest little personality-He knows how to make you laugh

A crappy picture of Riot in his fort!

~DiSnEyLaNd~

I finally got the pictures from my dad of when we went to DISNEYLAND! Me, Zach, mom, dad, and Greg went around Christmas time and it was so much fun! It was a perfect time to go. You could just walk right on to almost all of the rides and it was nice jacket weather! Of course everyone there thought it was freezing-most people were in their winter coats, but it was warm to us! We stayed all dang day and night-really fun..but aching feet afterwards! Gregory had never been so it was funny to watch how excited he got haha! Here are some pics..little bit of an overload-sorry!

Dad was too scared to go- so took pictures instead!


Zacho, Pluto, and Greg


My boys


The Mom and Dad

We love Minnie!

And Mickey!

But I love him the most! This is my favorite pic-dang cute huh!

Bugs Life! 3D


We are some pretty cute bugs!

It did get rather chilly I'd have to say. . .

Last but not least-my favorite part of it all!! My magical, gorgeous, huge, Princess Castle! I've always wished I could live there... :)
Thanks for taking us Mom and Dad!

A little stressed..

Well... I don't have much to blog about lately-we are just a couple of poor, boring, newlyweds. Things kind of suck right now- Zach is my little stay at home husband for now. He doesn't have any work painting and has been trying to find a new job but so far has had no luck. It feels like he has applied everywhere and no one is hiring. I'm still working at USU research foundation but they only allow me to work 20 hours a week. We are still planning on going to Weber in the Fall. I applied to the radiology program so I hope I get accepted. Zach still wants to do athletic training and then physical therapy. We love our place and don't want to move so we might be making the commute to Ogden once school starts but we'll see. All we ever do is hang out with Karlie and Eric and the kiddies- we can't get enough of them. Next Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Zach and I will be babysitting them while Karlie and Eric go on their cruise-I'm excited! But I think 3 of the 9 days will be enough for us ;)
Well I have no pictures. . .blogs are boring to read without pictures I know- sorry! Not too much is going on right now- hopefully my next blog will say that Zach got a job!...keep your fingers crossed!

Merry Christmas Big Brother


Christmas is going to be hard this year. I have found comfort through writing poems to express my feelings. It is easier than talking about it and it's easier than holding it all in.


God took you home with him last Christmas Eve,
Although it was your time, I didn't want you to leave.

It seemed way too soon...why did you have to die?
I didn't even get a chance to say one last goodbye.


I felt sad not seeing you on my wedding day,
But I know you were there in your own special way.

Things are different now, never to be the same.
My heart melts a little whenever I hear your name.

Growing up, I strived to be just like you-
I followed you around like little sisters do.

As long as I keep following, I'll see you again someday,
Until that time approaches, I'll just continue to pray.


Christmas time is here again; you know it makes us sad-
Memories fill our heads of the good times that we've had.

We should smile and be happy-because it's comforting to hear
That you'll be spending Christmas with Jesus again this year.


I hope everyone has a good Christmas and remembers what it's truly about.

Merry Christmas big brother- I love you.

Back to Reality

Well we are back now from our honeymoon and that means back to work. Zach is still painting for his brother and I'm still working at the USU Research Foundation. We are planning to go to Weber next Fall. My wedding was everything I dreamt it would be and more! We love our new duplex that we are renting here in Logan. We are so blessed to have gotten in this home because- it's brand new, it has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage (so so so nice for winter), and it has been so fun to decorate and have a place to call our own. Our honeymoon was awesome and we had so much fun. Our cruise went to Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island, and Cozumel Mexico. We did a zipline through the rainforest in Jamaica as well as the Jamaican bobsled. But my favorite excursion was in Grand Cayman- it was called Sea Trek. Pictures to come!

Starting Our New Journey!


Zach and I will be getting married in two days, so I decided we should start a blog so everyone can keep up with us. We were high school sweethearts and Zach finally proposed to me on July 3rd. We will be getting married November 5th in the Logan Temple. I can't believe how fast our wedding date has crept up on us- but we are so ready to get married and leave for our wonderful cruise to the Caribbean together! We are so excited to start our new lives together forever and ever! I'll post more after the honeymoon and let you know how our wedding went and make you jealous of how fun our trip was!
