Everything In Between

Sorry for the random posts, but at least I'm getting caught up!

We were invited to one of the Bee's games with a buddy/comp. from Kevin's mission, his wife and their little boy. 

I went to one of Bentley's soccer games. He loves it and get's so excited when the ball comes towards him so he can kick it. His last game is this Saturday then he might be doing indoor soccer as well!

 Preston is so stinkin cute! He says "Chelle" all the time when he sees me which is awesome and makes me feel loved. For the longest time if I said "Can you say Chelle?" Then he'd just nod but if I'd ask him to say it he wouldn't. Now he's doing the same thing with Kevin. 

Brooke had to come down to Northern Utah from Rexburg for some career things for the Nursing program so she picked Chrissy up from Provo and we met for Dinner at Zupa's. I miss these girls!! (Sorry for posting a crappy picture)
 Kevin and I went to the Utah vs. USC game last weekend. There was an accident with Trax so we missed the first two touchdowns. Regardless of not winning, it was still a fun game. Cold, but fun!


One of Kevin's best friends Koy married the love of his life Courtney. I've known them as long as I've known Kevin and they are wonderful friends to have! We're so happy for them and excited that they joined the marriage band wagon. 
 My Aunt had 4 extra tickets that my Uncle gets so she called and asked if we wanted them. How can I say no to General Conference in person? I can't, that's why I think I've gone almost every year since I was 11 or so. We had wonderful tickets and I'm so grateful that we have the opportunity to listen to our Prophet's voice. It really is so much better going to a live session than watching it on TV. As soon as President Monson walks into the Conference Center the place goes completely quiet as everyone stands. I get chills every time and know without a doubt those men are men of God. 
Kevin was getting sick as we were driving back from Bear Lake so he didn't end up coming. Luckily, we invited Jacob and Sydney Fryer to take our two extra tickets and I got to be the third wheel with them. 



Phew! That felt like it was a TON to catch up on! I'm just glad we've been doing things that are partially worth blogging about. Salt Lake is the same for me, just getting a little colder. Kevin still loves it and is really enjoying his classes at the U.

Thanks for reading and sorry for some ugly and crappy pictures. Love you all!!









~Tiffany's Bridal Shower~

After one of my best friends Tiffany got engaged I asked her if anyone had offered or if she had asked anyone to throw one for her. The answer was no, not yet. So I jumped right in there and asked if I could throw her shower and she let me! It was something to keep me busy up in SLC and a wonderful reason to go down to St. George.

Of course I was too scatter brained, stressed, and busy to get pictures of the decor. So I'll try to describe it. Her colors are Navy Blue, Yellow and Grey so I had Navy Blue and Yellow balloons tied on golf tees (as seen on Pinterest) along my parents walk way. We had an ice cream bar with lots of toppings for the girls to choose from, Tiffany's engagements hanging up by clothes pins along the mantle. The tissue paper flowers hanging above the refreshment table and....that's all that I can remember. I really suck at pictures.

For the activities when the girls showed up then I had them write advice for Tiffany and took their picture. I'm going to make her a scrapbook with everyone's advice and their picture so Tiffany always has it. We did the traditional "How well does the Bride know the Groom," instead of giving Tiffany gum if she got a question wrong then I had her put a Marshmallow in her mouth instead. Definitely made for more laughs! Also played He Said/She Said where I basically Facebook stalked them from the beginning of their Facebook time and everyone attending had to guess if who said it, with prizes afterward of course.

Hopefully Tiffany had fun and those that attended as well. I definitely appreciated everyone that came and I'm sure Tiffany did too. I'm so excited for her and Joey and the next chapter in their life that they get to take together. Marriage is the most amazing thing in this world and her and Joey are perfect for each other! Seriously, I love them together! Love you Tiffany and thanks for putting up with me as a friend all these years and for letting me throw your Bridal Shower.



 Yes, I gave her the items in the Victoria Secret Box :) I won't go into details of the gift. 




Disneyland!!

Back in September... Yup, I'm WAY behind. We were invited to go to Disneyland with Parker and his family. It was their last hoorah before Peter left on his mission and they were nice enough to invite us on the trip with them. Enjoy the pictures because Disneyland and the beach speak for themselves :)

 No, we did not randomly adopt a 3 year old, or kidnap one. Ha, this is one of our cute nieces that lives in California and still had a season pass. Score for her!



 Doesn't he know not to fly Dumbo and talk on the phone at the same time. 
 We ate at the Blue Bayou which is actually inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 
 Cruella hated my shirt. Go figure. 
 Caught part of the parade.

 The next day was spent all day at the beach. Newport then hit up Huntington until dark :)
