NUTS & BOLTS

This weekend Kevin Wold and I thought we would get in a climb since the weather has been so nice. We went up Ogden Canyon to a climb called nuts and bolts. As you can see I am a bit nuts myself and got a bit carried away. It was a very fun climb and we enjoyed the 60 degree weather in November. The wall shaded the sun though so it was a bit cooler than that and the rock was cold so our hands took a bit of a beating. Ladies, sorry I am married.

BYU Football Game!

Blake and Kalli watching the football game. We went to the BYU-TCU game last Thursday. The game had a late start at 7:00-so I wasn't sure how well Kalli would do and if she would be able to stay awake for the whole game. She was able to stay awake for the first three quarters, but she finally fell asleep in the fourth.

Blake and Kalli (yawning in this picture). She was starting to get tired!
Kalli finally fell asleep in the 4th quarter. She missed the ending to a good game. BYU won 27-22! Go cougars!

Happy Halloween!

Trip to Maryland!

Blake, Kalli and I went to Maryland, along with Cyndy and Shawn to visit Blakes brother (Brandon) his wife Cindy and their four cute kids. We had so much fun. We went to a pumpkin patch, halloween party at a farm and carved pumpkins. We also spent one day at the Baltimore Aquarium and went to a dolphin show. This picture is of Kalli (with a full head of hair), okay it's not much, but it's slowing coming in, on the airplane ride to Baltimore!

Halloween Party at the Farm

Brandon and Cindy's ward threw a halloween party at one of the ward members farm land. They had a huge barn the was decorated with scarecrows, pumpkins and witches. Tables were set up all over the barn and were decorated with big pumpkin center pieces with flowers coming out the middle-very creative. The kids had fun playing halloween games. They also had a hay ride, chili cook off and a dessert contest! At the end of the night they had a trunk-or-treat for the kids. We had so much fun and the kids loved it! Kalli was a lady bug for Halloween. She looked adorable!

St. George Trip

Blake and I went to St. George over the weekend for my birthday. Blake's parents along with my parents were also in town. We had so much fun. We had a date night with the Baker family on Friday. On Saturday my family took us out to lunch at Chili's and than we went back to Blake's parents condo and open up presents and ate cake. Blake bought me this Cheesecake that I love. Thanks honey! Also, many thanks to my family and friends for their support.



Blake and his family took me out to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse (our favorite) for my birthday dinner. Thanks you guys!


Blake and Kalli taking a Sunday nap!


We had a date night with the Baker family and went and played laser tag (which was a blast) and glow-in-the dark miniature golf. We than went to Samurai 21, which is a Japanese steakhouse for dinner. They cook the food in front of you. This is a picture of John our chef cooking a tower of onion rings.


Here's Blake and I with the Baker family at the restaurant ! Yummy Food!


This is a picture of John spinning an egg on a spatula.


This is a picture of a scarecrow that I made for the harvest season with some friends. Special thanks to Kylee, Shawna and Kristin who always come up with fun and creative ideas.

Park City

My friend from high school and college roomie from USU, Ashley Moyes and I went to Park City to visit our friend Laura Willis and her cute daughter (Mikala) for her birthday. We went to Fuego Bistro's restaurant for lunch and had really good BBQ chicken pizza and ceasar salad. My favorite!

We than went to the outlet stores to shop. It was really cold, and we were getting snowed on, so we didn't shop for too long. We then went to the Olive Garden for dinner (I guess I like Italian food). It was fun to hang out with my friends from high school again. Thanks you guys for a great weekend trip!

Weber-Fremont Homecoming Game

We went to the Weber-Fremont football game to watch my sister perform at the halftime show and of course, watch the football game. It was fun to see our family and friends at the game and catch up with them. Kalli was so good during the game, I guess she is getting use to attending football games. We tried to video tape my sister dancing at the halftime show, but Blake (who had the video camera) didn't make it to the game until after my sister had already performed. Sorry Court, maybe next time!

Kalli Getting Muddy!

Blake and I were outside doing yard work and Kalli wanted to help. She found a mud puddle and took a tumble right into the mud.


Muddy Girl. Kalli loves to play in the sprinklers, being outside and playing with dirt or mud.

Kalli's Favorite Shoes!

Kalli loves to get in our closet and wear our shoes. She thinks it's so funny to wear big shoes around the house.

Kalli also loves to wear her crocs! They're her favorite shoes. We bought them for her when we went camping. She has to wear them almost everyday and gets mad when we take them off. Silly girl!

7 little known facts...

I got tagged-thanks Krisitin!

1. I got 3 traffic citations in one week. Let's just say that my parents weren't to thrilled. I was dropped from their insurance.
2. I chipped my two front teeth and had to get fillings for them. Two days later, in gym class, we were outside playing soccer. I'm not a great athlete and was trying to avoid the soccer ball as much as I could. I was standing on the sidelines talking with my friends when SMACK. I got hit in the face with the soccer ball and chipped my two front teeth...AGAIN.
3. My favorite food is.....ice cream. I would often buy a half-gallon of ice cream and eat all of it the same day. Ugh!
4. I love football. When I was a little girl, my dad would sit me in front of the TV and make me watch football. At the time I hated it because I had no idea what was going on. After a while, I started understanding the game and now I'm a huge football fan. It's not uncommon for me to spend my Saturday's watching football games on TV.....and my husband isn't even home.
5. When I was attending USU, my friends and I went shopping one day for some clothes. After we got done I went home to get some shut eye. I awoke to a loud "bang" on my door. It was the cops, accusing me of shoplifting. I was handcuffed and taken to the police station. I hadn't stolen anything and was confused at why I was being accused. The cop then took me to the store to show him where I had put the shirt that I was being accused of stealing. I went to the rack where I hung it up on and threw it at the cop. I guess the cashier had thought that the shirt had been stolen because I hung it up on the wrong rack and she couldn't find it. I was humiliated. To make matters worse-it was my birthday.
6. I once got left at a funeral home. Don't ask, it's a long story.
7. When I was a CNA working at the hospital, I had to work my first graveyard shift. I have a hard time staying awake all night and I knew this would not be easy for me. Well, come 2 in the morning, I was getting really tired and I thought I would just sit on one of the couches in the lounge for just a "little" bit. Well, of course I fell a sleep and didn't wake up until 4 hours later when one of my co-workers decided to wake me up. Ugh!

I now tag Amanda, Kylee, Heidi and Megan!

Kelly's surprise party!

Jaren's Birthday Bash

Yee-Haw! Guess who's turning one years old?

Cowboy Birthday Party and Barbecue for Jaren Baker with friends and family.

Kurt and Chantel were in town for the week. They celebrated Jaren's 1st birthday at Shawn and Teresa's Moore's house. They did a cowboy themed birthday. The invitations they handed out were a picture of Jaren wearing a cowboy hat and boots-so cute. Chantel even made three cakes for the party-you go girl! Jaren got this four-wheeler for his birthday that Kalli loved to play with. I might just have to buy one for her (pink of course). It was fun to hang out and visit with everyone.
