A Year of Chaos

Ok maybe not Chaos, but definately an adventure. This week we will have had our little doggy Mylo for a year! (Sorry we don't have kids yet so I have to talk about our dog) - Mylo has definately been an experience. He is the first puppy I have had and although he can make us want to pull our hair out at times, I wouldn't ever trade him back! He is the most loving & forgiving little guy and is definately apart of the family!! When we got him Mike really wasn't too thrilled about having a little dog but Mylo had him wrapped around his little paw within the first 24 hours of having him!! These pictures definately show why...

An't He Cute! This was taken the night we brought him home - look how dark he is

This is him all dressed up ready to celebrate Christmas! I just love dressing him up even if Daddy an't too happy about it :)

As you can see he has changed alot but his fun personality keeps on growing! And for all who knows him can agree that he has definatley helped prepare us for children!

Viva La Cancun!

So Mike and I have never really been on a real trip together until this last week :) We got to spend some time in Cancun with my parents and it was Great!! I could write a whole novel on our experiences and the good time we had but instead I will post just some of the highlights (besides that my parents have a lot of pictures on their camera that we don't have yet).

So what is it like going on a trip with your parents? I think this picture portrays it well. Yes that would be my mother breaking up what could have been a romantic kiss on the beach...haha! No we had a great time with my parents and yes we were still able to be romantic without to much interferance :) We love you Mom and Dad!

One of my best moments on the trip was going to see the Mayan ruins it Chichen-Itza. I am not much of a history buff but being there and going on the tour really sparked my interest in all of the amazing things that happened there and amazed about all of the human sacrafices that were made so they could be closer to the Gods. Wow, we are only asked to do such small things in comparason to what they were asked to do by their great leaders. Here is a picture of a big water hole where they sacraficed alot of people. Mike and I thought we would be funny and take pictures of us trying to sacrafice eachother

This ruin was really neat!! And you can't tell by looking at it but there is another temple inside of the large temple built over it. Sad to say we weren't able to go inside any of the Ruins to explore but it was still neat being there (Neat tidbit of info: if you stand directly in the middle of the staircase and clap, it makes a sound like a bird back at ya)

Here's a couple more fun pictures of us at the Ruins (please note - Mike did not tell me how goofy that hat looked on me until we were home that night :( - How sweet of him )

That's only a small preview of what was there! We got some neat souvaneers from there as well with all of the neat carvings and jewelry that the Myan people make. I'll just share with you a few more photos of our trip but if you ever get the chance to go there someday - you better!!!

This picture is showing my first sunburn in Cancun (notice the the red coloration on the top of my colar bone on the left side - yes that would be it! I found it quite amusing)

This is Mike and I on the balcony outside my parent's hotel room

Ever petted a sloth before? Well we have! This is Mike and I petting a sloth at the Dolphin Discovery on Isla Mujeres

Isn't he So Cute!

We got to stay in mini suite the whole time because the hotel accidently gave out our rooms. So everynight we got to come home to sweet surprises on our bed. Here our a couple of Pictures :) We also got to ride First class coming home!

We were in Cancun on Valentines day so that morning while we were shopping Mike snuck off and got me a rose and he even got one for my mother but instead of taking the credit he snuck it to my dad to give to her!! Isn't my husband FANTASTIC!!

Although it was hot, extremely humid and we got sunburned I can honestly say we had a great time and we hope to be able to go back soon!! Now we just need to get adjusted to this cold again :( I will have more pictures posted soon when I get them from my parents because there are still lots of moments that I would love to share with you!!!

A Visit From Family...

My sister and her husband came to visit this last weekend with my adorable little niece, Paige. We had a fun time playing lots of guitar hero and just enjoying a nice, somewhat warm weekend together. Mylo was so curious with Paige and always had to be around her. Here is a picture of him observing her in her bouncer.

It makes me wonder how he will be when we have children of our own :)

Here is another picture of Paige because she is just soo cute!!!

A week of change...

Wow! This week has been full of surprises. First off our Dear President Gordon B Hinckley passed away and that was such a bittersweet moment for me. It brings much joy to know that he is with his dear wife again but I am sad that he will no longer be here to help bring us such great guidance, his fun sense of humor, and to see him wave his cane again. What a Great Man He Is!!

Secondly, I was promoted at my work. We have had a string of lay offs these past few months due to the slowing down of the housing market and I have been blessed each time with not losing my job and this last time I was promoted to a new position, closing coordinator, so I wouldn't lose my job. The Lord has definately blessed me at my work :)

Then, my sister n' law got engaged! And I am so excited for her!! She is marrying a great guy and I hope she is as happy as I have been in my marriage to Mike!

And Mylo got a haircut. Ok, so this isn't really news but his hair was getting pretty long and shaggy and he looked like a homeless dog so it was definately needed. And now he can see again!!

I hope all is well with you!!! Sorry no pics this time but I will definately have new pics soon becuase we have 1 week until we're off to Cancun!!!!! Yeah!!!! And hopefully I'll be tan in those pictures :)

Hi! Welcome to our blog! I have refrained from doing a blog for quite sometime now because I honestly didn't feel that our lives were all that interesting (although they are very interesting to us, I wasn't sure about to all of you). I was talking to my cute friend Cassie and she told me it's like having a journal and its a fun way to remember all your memories and that definately changed my thinking since I am a horrible journal keeper. So maybe...just maybe I'll be able to keep this updated. Again welcome! I am very new at this so please fill me in on all of your useful tidbits to help make my blog more exciting. We hope this finds you well and you can enjoy our lives with us :)
