CARRIE UNDERWOOD

Wednesday night, Jeana, Aubrey, Carly, Ashlee, her friend and I went to the Carrie Underwood Concert at the E Center. We invited Bart to go with us, but he kind of has a thing for Carrie and thought he'd better not go! So him and his brother Tyler went to the Jazz game instead. Let me just say the concert was AWESOME! I love her though, probably one of her biggest fans!

She had the cutest outfits on and was very interactive with the crowd. I think Aubrey was deaf by the end of the concert from it being so loud and I did kind of belt all the songs in her ear! :)

We had so much fun, we didn't want it to end! But I am sure after singing as well as she did your voice had to be killing you by the end of the night!

Bowling with Uncle Randy

Last Saturday we went bowling with Unlce Randy for our Annual Christmas Bowlathon! We had so much fun! Jen & John were away for the weekend for their anniversary, but everyone else was there and we had all the little kids!

My team lost :( so sad! But we still won a blowing ball that says LOSERS across the whole thing and all of our names next to it!But don't worry we won't be keeping that trophy next year!






Bentley got the cutest bear from Randy & Teresa that Bentley loved. He wanted to squeeze it and love and watch the lights! He was so cute!

Kensie was a sport and came even though she broke her arm a couple days earlier on the play ground at school! They had fun though! They got cute jewelry boxes you paint and decorate yourself and watches that they loved. Uncle Randy Spoiled you! :)





Jeana & I were on the same team YEAH go US oh wait we lost!

Bart and I were on opposite teams so we were competing!

This is the loser team signing their names to the

loser ball! I think the little girls just like to write on everything so this was fun for them!

This is my brother with his cute famiy: Nikki, Bentley & Desrti

Well Uncle Randy, you did it again this year! Way to go! We had so much fun with you as always! Thanks for all you do for us! We love you!

Happy Halloween

Last night Jason and Nikki threw a fun Halloween party! Bentley was a skunk! I didn't get to see him in his costume, he was stripped down to nothing by the time I got there! :) Jason and Nikki were The Flinstones! Cutest idea! They both looked great too! And Destri was a bumble bee! She looked way cute!

Jeana, Aubrey, and Carly were the 3 Amigos! They won best overall costumes! So funny!

Here's Kaitlyn and Kenzi visiting Jeana at work in their Halloween costumes! So cute!

Happy Halloween! I went to work for a little bit today! (I left sick to my stomach!) Everyone's outfits were great I was sad to leave! Viv was a Hooters waitress, it was hillarious! Travis was a pizza delivery man, Cameron was a cowboy, and Ryan was Wayne from Wayne's world! They were awesome!

Jeana's branch all dressed up as pumpkins! They look so cute!

Carving Pumpkins

We all got together at Jen's house tonight to carve pumpkins. It was so much fun to spend time with family and friends. Jen made oosnpakaka for dinner, which none of us know how to spell. So we had dinner, watched our wedding video and carved pumpkins!

All of the pumpkins turned out so good! Bart was shocked my family got so into carving pumpkins. He said he felt like a rookie! I told him he had plenty of years to work on his pumpkin carving skills!

Heidi's awesome Halloween party

Heidi and Tyler threw an awesome Halloween party on Saturday night. It was mostly for little kids, but Bart and I had a lot of fun! Bart dressed up as a pimp and won the best costume and I was a witch! His costume turned out really good! It was a trunk or treat party so because we were 4 wheeling all day, we had to decorate the trunk with the 4 wheeler in it. We took my moms scarecrow out and some pumpkins and candy, it turned out pretty cute!

Tyler and Heidi had a family theme as race car drivers and they made Traeden a Tree car airfreshener! It was so cute! Heidi and Tyler were both race car drivers and Jase was Lighting McQueen.

After the party we stuck around and watched the BYU game that we missed during 4 wheeling. Jase hung out with us almost the whole time. He was so funny! He laughed everytime someone caught the ball or got tackled!

4 Wheeling with Blake and Mandy

We went 4 wheeling with Blake and Mandy on Saturday at 5 Mile Pass. We had a lot of fun! Blake found this mine shaft last time he was out there that he really wanted to check out. He found a rope and down he went! When he got to the 'bottom' there was another shelf he wanted to discover, but we didn't have a long enough rope .(thank goodness because Mandy and I were getting a little worried)

My Birthday

My birthday was last Sunday. I have the best husband in the whole world who made my day great! He took me to dinner and a movie for my birthday on Saturday night and it was a fun date! On my birthday he woke me up with breakfast in bed! He's so sweet! He made me waffles! One of my favorites! (Plus we got this awesome waffle maker for a wedding gift, we love it!) After church we went to my parents house for dinner. My mom made my favorite dinner of hers, chicken and potatoes with homemade rolls! Thanks Mom! And we had cheesecake for birthday cake, of course! We opened presents for me and my Aunt Colleen, who's birthday is a few days before mine. After opening presents and eating cheesecake, we went home! I thought I was all done with presents, but my cousin Alyssa came over to bring me another one! While I was chatting with my cousin, Bart brought me another present!! He added a 'Happy Birthday' to my charm bracelet! Side note- Bart gave me the cutest charm bracelet for my wedding present. It's a first year bracelet. It had charms on it already and over the next year he already has charms picked out that he'll give me- cutest idea, and it was all his! And then to top it all off, Monday at work I got a delivery! Flowers from Bart! He's so sweet! I love him!

Honeymoon

Bart surprised me for our honeymoon. He kept the secret from me the whole time and he did an awesome job at planning it! We went to San Diego for two days and then made our way over to Catalina Island for two days. I was very impressed with everything he planned! He's great! We got to San Diego on Friday night. We stayed at the Marriott Hotel right on the harbor. It was awesome!

Bart knows I love the San Diego Temple and he had planned to take me up there! That night he got really sick. Bart is always hot and he hates that I am always cold! That night he was shivering and couldn't get warm! I felt so bad for him! He was still a trooper and took me up there anyway! It was so beautiful! I loved being there with him and walking the grounds, but the whole time I felt so bad because he was so sick!

On Saturday we went to Sea World! It was so much fun to see all the animals and Bart LOVED the seals! I felt like I was with a little kid the whole time and kept saying, 'ok lets go see the other animals now' no good though, he wanted to watch the seals! He's so funny!

Sunday we drove from San Diego to Long Beach to catch the Catalina Express over to Catalina Island. It was about a two hour drive! We got to Long Beach with about an hour to spare before our boat left and started making our way to the dock. All of a sudden the streets were blocked off!! There was a marathon going on and no one told us! We called the place to see if they could direct us around the marathon 3 different times! No good! They still didn't help! We finally got there an hour and 15 minutes later, but we missed the boat! At this point I HATED Marathons! I was trying to be happy and act like it wasn't a big deal that we had to wait 2 more hours before catching the next boat. When we finally got to the island and to our hotel to check in, Bart told me he had called a couple days ago and got our room upgraded to the King Spa Room! We're checking in and the kid says that there are -1 for the King Spa Rooms and he was going to have to make a phone call! Could anything else go wrong? He gets on the phone with his boss and starts saying, "Oh, I see, ok I can do that." He gets off and says, unfortunately the King Spa Rooms have all been booked, but we are going to upgrade you to the presidential suite for no extra charge. SWEET! We get up there and this place is bigger than our apartment in some ways! (Check out the pics) Huge kitchen, dining table for 8 people, family room with a TV, separate room for our bedroom and huge bathroom with a 2 man tub and separate shower! I learned that sometimes its ok when things don't work out!! :) It was really windy on the island both days so we didn't get to go out on a boat tour, but we did take a golf cart out and went around the island which was alot of fun.

Tuesday morning we were heading back on the boat and we saw dolphins and seals in the water which was so cool! I loved it! And now we are home, back to normal life! It was a great honeymoon! We had an awesome time! Thanks Bart!

Wedding 10/09/08

On October 9, 2008, Bart and I got married at the Salt Lake Temple at 9:40 AM. Later that day we had our reception at Market Street Grill in Cottonwood. It was all very beautiful and everything turned out great! It was by far the happiest day of our lives. We were surrounded by all of our family and friends. We want to thank everyone who took the time to come and share our day with us, it was greatly appreciated! That night Bart surprised me and took me to the Anniversary Inn. We stayed in the Egyptian room. It was a very interesting room! It had a waterfall that went into the bathtub and a shower head that was a snake (that part was kind of disturbing).
