Like Mother Like Daughter

Andrew finds it hilarious when Stella and I do similar things.

He takes pictures to document our twin-ness.

lucky number seven

these two crazy cats have been married for 7 years now

and is it just me or does that sound like a long time?

we got married 2/17/06

which is obvious right next to valentines day

and it usually falls on the three day weekend

so we get to celebrate for a few days

andrew arranged with his bro-in-law to go up to his cabin near sundance

we had so much fun

this picture was taken saturday morning,

but when we got there friday night it was dark and we had to haul all our stuff

through the deep snow to even get to the door

it was fun

 the cabin was so cozy--eventually

when we first got there it was 50 degrees

so we had to wear our coats while it warmed up

friday night we watched movies and enjoyed that fact

that my parents were watching stella for us

on saturday, we went down to tucanos and used my free birthday meal

then we went and saw 'the impossible' 

and later that night we used free tickets (that i had gotten at the mall last week)

 to go to the byu basketball game

sunday we drove to park city 

it was freezing

we went shopping at the outlets

then drove home to get stella

i'm looking forward to another exciting year

with my hubby, my partner, my pal

snow days

 

snow snow go away

come again another day

(like next year)

we're done with winter indoor days

we're ready for spring

the groundhog didn't see his shadow

so I guess spring will come early

hopefully tomorrow

 

my birthday weekend

My 27th birthday was last Friday

and thanks to all my family

I had one of the best birthdays!

 

It actually all started on Thursday

when my mom and Lindsay took me to lunch at Kneaders.

Then on Friday,

Lindsay and I went to the mall with the kids,

she bought my lunch,

and we shopped and let the kiddos play on the indoor playground

 

Saturday,

I had to run to a bridal shower for Andrew's cousin.

Then we went up to the zoo

with Bryce, Becca, and Zoey

 

Stella and Zoey weren't in the mood for posing for pics

but we still made an attempt.

 

I took pictures of the wolves

because they are NEVER up next to the fence like this



 

The birthday didn't end there.

After the zoo,

we drove down and met my entire family at

The Cheesecake Factory

Yum!

I may have eaten both mine and Andrew's leftover cheesecake.

He was mad, so I had to play the

"it's my birthday" card.

 

Thanks to everyone who helped make my birthday fun!

 

 

Trying to Woo Jabari

We went to the BYU basketball game on Saturday

with Bryce, Becca, & Zoey

We were trying to help convince Jabari Parker to come to BYU

(he's the #1 rated high school player in the nation

he's from Chicago and he's mormon--our shirts say

"from Chicago to Provo")

It could have gone either way

but Stella LOVED every minute of the game

It was a good game

and we won!!

General Conference Weekend

 I needed a getaway

so we packed up

and rented a condo

in St. George for the weekend

we laid around and watched conference

so good by the way--

thought there was so many great talks

can't wait for the Ensign to come out

AND

Elder Don R. Clarke from the 70 spoke on the sacrament

that is Andrew's mission president

he loves Andrew

In between sessions we did lots of fun stuff

shopping

eating

swimming

and

playing in Snow Canyon

maybe we should make this a tradition.

Bye Bye Summer

Summer is OFFICIALLY gone, gone, gone.

No more summer BBQ's.

:(

I think it's safe to say Stella enjoyed her hot dog.

Hunting season is in full swing.

So our daddy is MIA lately.

But he lives for this.

So we suck it up and deal.

Football season is also here.

We have BYU season tickets again this year.

I'm back tutoring and keeping busy with lots of projects.

This weekend we have lots going on.

Andrew's brother is coming to visit from Austrailia.

So we are going out to dinner with Andrew's siblings.

I'm also cohosting a shower for my friend Jennifer

and there is BYU game.

Should be lots of fun.

Maybe I'll take a picture and post it.

(I'm so bad at taking pictures lately)

Dibb Reunion Pictures

This year

our reunion with Andrew's siblings and their families

consisted of a blow up water slide on Friday.

Which I was too busy enjoying to take pictures of.

On Saturday we went swimming at the Lehi Pool

Then went up to BP's cabin for the evening

WARNING:

Picture Overload
