March-April

We have two weeks left of school then its off to St. George for a small vacation before we start school and work all over again!! Because I am obsessed with craft blogs I have recently tried a few things I have seen. For Easter I made a wreath out of eggs covered with papers from a book. It took about 4 hours to do, but it turned out really good! Also one of my favorite blogs is Bakerella. We decided to try making some of her cake pops. While they were suppose to be chicks, they just did not turn out like them so we changed them to a more simple design , (Glen's idea) and they turned out really good! here they are! Back in march we had a little March Madness party with our friends and made homemade wings and everything! Also just so everyone knows you don't need any knowledge of the teams to win. I beat glen in our bracket tournament.. had to get that out there:)








Katie was a sleep in this picture haha

This weekend we went snowshoeing with Kenny & Kristin. We went up to Kristin's cabin and had plenty of open space to play around in! After we had some nice hot cocoa to end the night! Although the boys were on the ground most of the time everyone had fun!

New Member of the Family!

We have a new addition to our family! And no it is not a baby. It is our new African Pygmy Hedgehog, "Tuffy." He is 8 months old and is an albino hedgehog. We do consider him an animal rescue because the breeder we got him from was a little bit of a nutcase. However, she was nice enough to drive him down from Ogden and meet us in Salt Lake. Welcome to the family Tuffy!

Christmas was great! Mindi took Tori and I to the Festival of Trees. The trees and gingerbread houses were amazing! Sadly those are the only pictures we took of Christmas. Part of our Christmas present from my parents was going to the Zermatt for a night with Jocelyn and Jared. It was a wonderful break from a crazy first week of school. Yesterday my cousin Amber got married to Andrew. Everything went great and she looked so beautiful! she was married in the Salt Lake temple and her reception was at the Provo Library.






Main Street in Park City our families favorite place



This one was for you Tay








The beautiful bride




The cool ice castles at the Zermatt

I am all done with finals and Glen only has one left! I got a new job at the BYU Comprehensive Clinic in the Taylor building. I have to learn a lot for it but it will be a fun job. For Thanksgiving we went to Missouri to visit Glen's mom and grandma and i finally got to meet Glen's mom's side of the family. It was great getting to know them all! Here are some pictures!

Halloween & Collin Raye!

For Halloween Glen and I went over to Jen’s for a little Halloween party. I was a skeleton and Glen was a monster from Where the Wild Things Are. We got our sweet masks from Dollar Tree. Now for the best part…Collin Raye! Glen, knowing how much I love Collin Raye, got me an early Christmas present to see him! I know he is way old but has always been my favorite! It was at Desert Star Dinner Theatre in Salt Lake. We were treated to nice buffet dinner before the concert. The best part was it was a small room so there were only like 150 people in the room and we were very close! It was a Dream come true for me! I had already seen him twice but this time was the best! It was Amazing!

A lot has happened once again... First we had to put up a picture of our oven. When we first moved in our oven was VERY UGLY, it was yellow and didn’t match our kitchen after we painted all the cupboards. So thanks to my dad we used white appliance paint and painted our oven. It looks sooo much better now and we are very proud of ourselves! Next we got tickets to the Brad Paisley concert. While it did rain that night it was still a fun concert! Glen even gave up watching the BYU vs. Florida State football game to go listen to country. That’s how I know he loves me :). Lastly my grandpa Boppie passed away this last weekend. While it was sad, we were all happy now because now Boppie isn’t alone. He is now back with my grandma and that’s what we have to remember. Jocelyn, Stratton, and I were able to fly down to Texas for the funeral. It was good to be back in Texas again but I wish I could have stayed longer. We all remembered how funny and kind Boppie was because of the stories told at the funeral and anyone how knew him could agree. Boppie will be greatly missed but we all remember how happy he is now.
