Little Monsters

How could you not love these beautiful little monsters!!

Halloween

I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend!! Ty and I started off the weekend with a Bunko Date night that some friends in the ward put together. It was a blast! There were about 13 other couples that came so we were able to meet a lot of people we hadn't met yet. Ty and I also ended up winning the couples award for earning the most points for different things throughout the night which meant we went home with a Haunted Gingerbread House kit.... Ty was pretty excited! LOL.

Halloween night we had some friends come down from Independence with their three kids and we were able to go Trick-or-Treating. It really made our Halloween! It was so fun seeing them so excited in their little costumes! They couldn't wait to knock on those doors!

We hope everyone was able to have a fun Halloween and is as excited as we are for the Holiday season coming up. The next two months for us are going to be crazy... every other week from here until Christmas we will be out of town or the country. With that said, I will try very hard to get on here before the new year but I can't make any promises! Happy Holidays!

Fall Lovers

All the football you could ever ask for, light jackets, beautiful leaves, open windows.... it doesn't get better then this... at least until Spring!

I'll update soon.. I promise!

Summer Travels

I can't believe summer is almost over. Ty and I were walking through Walmart today and it was filled with back to school stuff! UNBELIEVABLE! With that said, we have some serious vacationing to catch up on! Since Ty has almost a three week break in between trimesters we've decided to take a trip out to provo. On the way we plan to stop and visit some good friends in Denver and my brother in Cedar City. We may even stop in Vegas and pick up some of my fam. We are SO excited for this break I can't even explain. It is much needed!

In other news.. Ty is studying like crazy for all of his prefinal- finals (which consists of so many exams, there isn't possibly time to study for his finals) but he is taking them like a champ. The lowest score he's gotten so far has been an 80% and the highest 100%. I've been so proud of him!! He still has two more weeks, but so far so good!

We also just started moving into our new place. Although we are extremely excited to only be 7mins away from school (instead of 45) it's been hard finding time to actually move. We've decided to start taking a couple things down everyday so it'll be interesting to see how long it actually takes us!! My sisters are coming out for a couple weeks and I think I'm gonna have to put them to work!

We have a very busy August but I think it's finally gonna feel like summer! If anyone will be in Utah, Denver, Vegas, or even Idaho between August 21st-30th let us know!

The Only Thing I Could Have Asked For..

Was to have my family out here on my birthday. After a 3:30am wake up Friday morning and a 8hr round trip drive to the St. Louise Temple, I came home to the best and sweetest surprise my husband has ever given me.. my mom and dad waiting for me in my living room... on my couch... in my house!!! I had NO idea they were coming and still have NO idea how he pulled it off, but I knew it couldn't get better then that. But all of you who know Ty know he didn't just stop there.....
Later that night, he suggested that we go to one of our favorite restaurants out here so my parents could check it out. Well, we arrive and the host asks "Are you Ty? We reserved the whole patio for you." (which wasn't weird to me because we know the owner and he always takes care of us) So we walked out onto the patio and before I had time to digest why the patio was totally filled when they just said they reserved it for us, I hear a chorus of HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Yeah... it's a good thing I have a nice, strong heart. The whole patio was filled with all our friends out here! And to top it all off, I finally got a wii fit!! We've been searching for it since my last birthday (not very hard, but still!) and a couple weeks ago they just decided to put a whole bunch out. YAY!!Needless to say, on Saturday (my real birthday) we played the wii fit for hours. It was a blast watching my parents! They're so much fun!
Although we originally planned to have a day of volleyball and grilling in the park that day, we were instead able to just relax. We went to breakfast/lunch at this new place we've been hearing great things about, then went to a movie, then Liberty jail and a couple of other church sites, then to the farmers market to pick up some fruits and veggies, then had a little bbq on our porch and played some more wii fit. It was the best birthday ever!
Thanks so much mom and dad for giving me such an awesome birthday present... YOU! And thank you Ty for all your sneaky planning and for being the coolest husband EVER!!

The New Do

I cut bangs and highlighted my hair almost a month ago now.. it's almost time to cut again! Ty's been wanting me to post this for a while but lets be honest.. I'm not the best blogger. Anyway, here's the new do....

More Pics...

We got to spend some time at the DC temple and it was AMAZING! I really love this temple. We were able to meet up with my good friend Danielle and Ty's FBI friend Rich. It was so much fun getting to hang out with them for the day!





We went up to Ty's mission on Cinco de Mayo and they had a really fun festivities!


My dad shredded the ligaments in his arm playing basketball and had to have surgery, so he wasn't able to participate in bowling, but he was a very good sport and cheered us on from the side lines :)
