Our Very Thankful Anniversary

This year we celebrated 4 years of wedded bliss. This year our Anniversary happened to fall on Thanksgiving Day. We definitely had something to be extra thankful for this year. The only unfortunate thing about the day was we didn't get to spend it together. Boe had to work all day. It was hard having to spend a major holiday and our Anniversary apart for the first time. Hopefully we will get to celebrate soon. I am So blessed to have married such a wonderful man and to be sealed to him for all eternity. Our 4 years of marriage haven't always been the easiest and 2011 has brought many trials and heartaches but I am so grateful to have him by my side. I know I couldn't get through these hard times without him by my side. He is my best friend and the man of my dreams. I love you Boe

Fall Fun!

About a month ago my cousin Emily and Ian came to visit me from Utah! It was so good to see them! I hadn't seen Ian since before his mission and Emily in about a year! The night they got here we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and then came home and watched Lion King in 3D. Which by the way is AMAZING. And stayed up way to late catching up. The next day we slept in and Ian made us a fabulous breakfast! After that we went to Bear World! I have always wanted to go but Boe never wants to take me because he says we live in Idaho and we don't have to pay to see wildlife (which is probably true) but it was still fun! We loved seeing all the animals and the petting zoo was a hoot! Especially when Ian kept getting kicked by the baby deer! Most of the bears already had a jump start on their hibernation but they were still fun to look at! After Bear World we hit up the mall and got some yummy smelling candles at Bath and Body. That night Emily and I drank apple cider, watched Young Frankenstein, and made homemade caramel apples rolled in crushed up Halloween oreo's. They didn't look beautiful but they were soo good! I'm thinking I need to make them again. It was a fun 2 days that went by way to fast! Can't wait for them to visit again!

Boe's B-day!

Oct 6th is also Boe's birthday! Poor guy had to spend his 28th birthday working and cutting up a tree. I hadn't seen Boe in a few days because we work opposite shifts occasionally so I made sure he felt loved on his birthday. I got him a bouquet of balloons (which our dog was petrified of, so funny), hung a banner, and wrapped all his presents. It was all waiting for him when he came home from work! We weren't able to celebrate his birthday on the actual day because we both worked. But we did have a birthday celebration at Red Robin on Saturday! So happy this guy was born so I could marry him! He is such a wonderful stand up guy and I'm so lucky that he is mine.

First Snowstorm!

Oct 6th was Idahos first snowfall of the year. And we got a ton! When I left for work that morning at 6 it was raining and by the end of my shift the snow was coming down like crazy.

And this is what I got to come home to....

Yup that's right our neighbors tree that hangs over into our yard totally broke and crashed into our yard. Almost hit the house and my mother in-law. It was huge and in the middle of the road. Poor Boe and his dad spent hours cutting up the tree and taking it to the dump. Our first snowfall started off with a bang! Hopefully we wont have anymore trees falling for the rest of winter!

Boise Trip

This past weekend we went over to Boise for the football game. I haven't been to a college football game in a few years so it was fun to be able to go again. It was super hot for the first half of the game which was a little uncomfortable but it cooled off nicely once the sun went down. We had great seats close to the field. Boise played great and won! Aside from the game we did a tiny bit of shopping and hung out with family.

We love the smurf turf

Our last night in Boise Boe and I stayed in a hotel. Super comfy beds. Best night sleep we had in awhile and it was greatly needed. When I got up in the morning to shower I got this nice surprise. It was huge and ugly! So happy I have a hubby who kills scary yucky things for me!

Fun at the Fair

They wanted to have matching tattoos with Ronnie Dunn

I promise he loves my kisses despite the face


This past week was the East Idaho State Fair. We went down 2 days and had so much fun. Probably my favorite year yet. We ate too much fair food (that was so good), saw some cute animals, magician, hypnotist, crafts, and an amazing concert! We saw Ronnie Dunn in concert and he was AMAZING. Seriously he sounds so good live and put on a great show. He even played lots of his songs from when he was Brooks and Dunn. It was my first concert with Boe which made it all the more special. Hope we can do it again real soon.

Then and Now

Our Kayley is not a puppy anymore. We have hit our year mark with her. She is bigger than we expected. We still love her even though she can be a pill. She still can't keep her tongue to her self and has to lick you at every chance she gets. Her tail is a weapon that never stops moving. We love her despite her annoying habits and spoil her to bits. She has truly brightened our lives and fits in with us so well.

Kayley at 10weeks so cute in her bed

Kayley at 14months in the same bed. I took it out to put it in our garage sale and she has been sleeping in it for weeks even though she has a bigger bed to choose from. Shes so big she has to stretch out the sides

So at times she results to use it as a pillow

She loves car rides and this is her favorite thing. Especially when were in the country. She cant get enough of all the smells.
