Suprise!

Six years ago on October 17 Trevor and I got married. We decided last year that we should switch off every year planning something to do for our anniversary. So this year was his year. I have been reminding him for probably 6 months to make sure that he didn't forget. The weekend of our anniversary I had thursday and friday off of work for UEA weekend. On Wednesday night I got home from work and he had all of bags packed and ready to go! He took me up to Park City to do some shopping and then we stayed in our Condo in Midway. I absolutely LOVE midway! It was so beautiful up there because all of the leaves were changing colors. And we even spotted a deer right in the back yard of the condo.

The fun did not end there! Friday morning we drove to Thanksgiving Point and rented segways to ride around the garden area. My brother rode segways for his birthday and I have wanted to ride them ever since. It was so much fun. The gardens at Thanksgiving Point are absolutely beautiful. And they even have the largest Man-made waterfall in the western hemisphere. It was so cool. The gardens are huge (fifty-five acres) so I'm glad that we rented the segways and didn't have to walk the whole way! At first the segways are a little scary, but with a little training, they are a blast. I wish I had one to ride everyday! They can go up to 12 miles per hour! I think Trevor was nervous that I was going to crash and burn at first, but I showed him what's up:)

After that, we drove home and picked up the kids and took them up to Bear Lake where we stayed the night. We had tons of fun. We picked up a Papa Murphy's Pizza and took the kids swimming. It was great!

What an awesome hubby I have....he planned all that all by himself. He really is a great person and an even better dad. I sometimes take him for granted and all that he does. Love ya babe!

Happy Anniversary!

Tagged! Twice! I feel so violated!

My sister-in-law Jaime and my good friend Sarah both have 'tagged'me. This is my first time being Tagged so be kind:)

I'll start with Jaime's tag......

Ok...so now I guess I share 7 random and/or weird facts about myself.

• #1- I once had a teeny tiny freckle on the tip of my nose. When I got pregnant it grew and grew until it looked like a witch's wart! Don't worry, it has since been removed.


• #2- I love when food places play peel-n-win games. For example, Subway was playing Scrabble a couple of months ago. And McDonald's is currently playing Monopoly. It's so fun to peel and see what you get. Most of the time I get nothing...but for some reason I still love it.


• #3- I love Pineapple! When growing up, every year for Easter/Christmas I would get a pineapple in my basket/stocking. It's my favorite food ever!


• #4- I have to scrub dishes clean before I put them in the dishwasher....my husband calls me the "dish natzi"...but I blame it on my mom:)


• #5- I love to play board games or cards. My most favorite game right now is "settlers of Catan".


• #6- I always have to have my toenails painted. That doesn't mean they always look perfect, because most of the time it's old worn paint, but I think my toe look really wierd with no paint at all on them.


• #7- When I was in Hawaii I snorkeled with a SHARK! Okay, it was just a black tip reef shark, but still...it was 5 or 6 feet long and looked just like a great white!

1. Okay...so there you have it. There are 7 amazing facts about me! So now I am supposed to Tag people...here it goes: I choose to tag Andrea, Sarah, Kennybum,..hmmm I guess that is everyone I know that has a blog that isn't already tagged so I will just do three I guess.

Now for Sarah's Tag: The tag says that I am supposed to go to my 6th picture folder and post the 6th picture.

I'm so glad that this is the picture that I got to put! This is a picture of me, Trevor, my brother...Kennybum, and Ken's friend Darcy. In this picture we are riding a Space Mountain at Disneyland in Paris. Boy did we have a blast. If you ever get the chance to go to Euro Disney...TAKE IT!

He's the Man!

Because I am new at the blogging thing, I have a post that I should have posted during the summer, but I didn't have a blog back then ...so here it is:

A couple of sis-in-laws were running the the 5K this summer for South Weber Days and I, (being the pushy wife I am), signed Trevor up to run too! He agreed as long as I bought him some new running shoes...so the night before the race we bought him some new SWEET shoes! I know...buying new shoes the day before the race is not a good idea, but you should have seen his old ones....

I am so proud of him. He didn't even train or practice at all! He does play basketball regularly so he is somewhat in shape. Here is a video of Trevor and Jaime crossing the finish line. Yeah!!

My goal next year is to be able to run it with him:)

So Behind

I feel so behind on my blogging. I have so much to blog about all in one...so here we go.


Every year we try to make it to the pumpkin patch. We made it early this year and the kids loved it. They played on the toys and then we rode the hayride to the pumpkin field where we all got to pick out a pumpkin and take it home. The only bad part was I wore my flipflops and my feet got covered in sticker weeds.

Another fun thing we did was go to the circus! I love the circus. We had a blast. Paige got a little restless toward the end, but Maxwell couldn't control his excitement. He waited the whole show for the tigers to come out. When it was finally time for the tigers to perform, Max stood up and said, " I'm going down there...I'll be back mom." He's a nut.

Ok....one last thing on my list of 'items to blog about'. ....For a couple of weeks now, Trevor has been telling me that he has a suprise for me and the kids. He keeps telling me that the suprise isn't ready yet, but that it should be soon. So....finally on friday night Trevor said, "The Suprise is Ready!" I was so excited. I love suprises, but it drives me crazy becuase I just can't WAIT! So he drove us to a house in Layton and sitting on the front porch is one of his friends that he works with. Sitting next to her...there is a box with little blanket over it......and I knew it! He got us a little kitty!!! Trevor had the little kitty picked out for a couple of weeks and had been checking on him until he was ready to leave his mom. So we got in the car and asked Max what we should name him....he decided on Dr. Banner. For those of you who don't have a child obsessed with The Incredible Hulk, Dr. Banner is the person's name before he turns into the Hulk. Dr. Banner is soooo cute and the kids LOVE him. But I think Dr. Banner loves me the most!
