Coming Soon

So I figure it is time for a little update...it has only been two months since my last post! I will be making another post soon to cover Kevies coming home and Christmas, along with pics, but this post is to announce that we are having a baby and baby s will be here July 20th of 2010. We are absolutely thrilled that we have been blessed with the chance to be parents, we have been waiting for this baby for a long time. I am 11 weeks along and sick as can be. I didn't know what nausea was until I became pregnant and it only seems to be getting worse. Food has become my enemy...all food literally. Forcing myself to eat is a struggle but I want baby s to get enough nutrients. We had our first appointment around 10 weeks and we got to see our little one and things look great! I am hoping the sickness thing is coming to an end, but I will endure whatever I need to to get baby s here healthy and safe. More updates to come!

Pumpkin Walk 2009

I look forward to the Pumpkin Walk every year. If you have never heard of it, it is at a park in North Logan and there are tons of scenes made with pumpkins and they are really pretty creative and cool. After walking through the park they give you string cheese and cookies (this is how it is when you live so close to a cheese factory and pepperidge farms factory). It is so much fun and the best part...it is FREE! Crystal and my mom came up for it and Tim and Jessica came also. Brandy was in town and met up with us too!

M&M scene. This year they had a M&M pumpkin in every scene that you had to look for...so dang cute!

Crystal and Phi going for a swim

Yoda in the Star Wars scene...check out those ears!

McDonalds scene and they even had the burglar in it!

Rest of the E.L. Fudge scene this one was really cute

Slightly embarassed to put this up...but it had to be done

Crystal and Brandy hanging out with the Fruit of the Loom crew. Right after taking this Brandy practically knocked over the apple...that must be why there are signs everywhere asking you to stay out of the scenes...we just couldn't resist!

Crystal finally gets to be Cindy

I loved the Aggie ice cream scene

Cute Photo Op

There are pumpkins lining the whole thing but this one caught my attention. Someone has got some wicked sweet carving skills to be able to make the prophet and it looks amazing!

Taking the bus back to the car...also Free I love how Logan has free events with free cheese and cookies

A Lot Of Catch Up

Last weekend we went to Lagoon for our annual day at Frightmares. We try and go every year and this year Kelly and David and Mark went also. It was super packed because the weather was like a summer day, but it was fun to think back to the good old days of working at Lagoon we really do have so many funny memories! We really didn't even get to go on too many rides but it was just fun being there, seeing are the creepos, breathing in the fog machines, watching the spooky characters sneak up on people, and spending time togeth.

Waiting in line for the haunted house...the line was ridiculously long so we started taking pics!

One of the many creepy characters walking throughout the park I think they are hilarious!


Did I mention I colored my hair dark brown. My natural color is brown but I have had highlights for a while. I have always wanted to go dark dark brown but have been scared. Finally I just went for it I was super nervous that my hair would turn out red because they added some red warmth to the color, but I think it turned out great, it was exactly what I envisioned and I am thoroughly enjoying being brunette again, plus it is much cheaper upkeep!

I had so much fun over conference weekend. We went down to my parents house on Friday so Phi could go with my dad to the BYU vs USU game in Provo which gave me the perfect chance to get togeth with the girls. I had always wanted to go to Gardner Village for the Wee Witching and so we went. It was so stinkin cute there were witches everywhere and cute kids dressed in witch costumes. I absolutely loved it and loved spending time with Brandy, Shell, and Kel!

This was so cool that witch is on a bike going back and forth across the pond, pretty impressive!

Shell posing on the ancient carriage we were all worried it would bust at any moment but somehow she survived!

I loved all thee witches displays throughout the village

Witch sitting in an outhouse!

Us inside the outhouse with the witch...we just couldn't resist!

Gardner village is the cutest place ever with such cute things for sale, I wish I could decorate my whole apt. with the furnitre they sell...maybe someday! Thanks Brandy, Kelly, and Shelle for the fun night let's get togeth again soon!

On Saturday we watched conference, which of course was amazing and exactly what I needed to hear, and then Crys, my mom, Jessica, and I all went out shopping. I went to Tai Pan for the first time and fell in love. I can't believe I had never been before they have such great stuff and I will be going back very soon! Then we went to Olive Garden and got a table and the guys met up with us after Priesthood for dinner. It was a lot of fun. Sunday morning my friend Nate invited us to go to conference he had two extra tix and we were excited to go. Catherine, Chad, and his girlfriend Dana also came. I love being able to go to conference every now and again it is a very humbling experience to see how far people will come to go to conference. A family from Nate's mission in Mexico flew in just for conference and went with us as well. I think it is easy to take it for granted because I have grown up always having access to it on TV but being able to go and see the prophet and apostles was a really neat experiece. As usual, conference was amazing and I can't wait to read the talks in the Ensign.

Bring on FALL!!!

Somehow summer came to a close and I never blogged about the end of our summer. Yet another summer has come and gone in which we feel we've wasted because looking back we really didn't do a whole lot. I am still waiting for the summer that we go on some exotic vacation...where is that summer at?! All in all we still had a lot of fun and got to spend a lot of time with eachother. Here are the most recent events that we did these past few weeks:

Every year we go to Peach Days in Brigham City and we really enjoy going. This is us with one of many Peach Days signs just about to go to the Jon Schmidt concert. We love going to Peach Days every year. They have tons of yummy food and tons of cute craft booths. My self control came off conquerer though because I did not buy one thing even though I really really wanted to, other than food of course, a girl needs to eat. If anyone wants to go with us next year you are more than welcome to. We ran into our friends Paul and Stephanie there and had a fun time with them also!
Brigham City night life gets pretty crazy...but seriously I was amazed at how many wackos were at Peach Days this year, I would have to say this was about the best people watching experience I have had and that is saying something!

A couple weekends ago Phi and me went to a demolition derby. These are hands down one of our favorite things to do all summer...seriously! I don't know what it is about demo derby's but they are so fun. Oh wait, I do know it is all the funny people that go to demo derby's and it is all the people cheering on others to injure themselves and cause fires...priceless! This was the last one of the season so they let anything and everything into the arena and there was a lot of action, this time a car even flipped over which was pretty cool!

Some of the action...seriously so much fun!

Finally fall is here and I am so excited for it. One positive (well probably the only positive) thing about commuting through Sardine Canyon every single day is I get to see the leaves change colors literally before my eyes. It is so invigorating to drive through and see such beautiful colors and how quickly they are changing. I have never really seen such huge changes take place before and I love it. Fall is my favorite time of year and it is definitely in the air and I am excited. I am looking forward to a much needed wardrobe change (sweaters, scarves, boots), pumpkin choc chip cookies, soup and bread bowls, the pumpkin walk, corn mazes, carving pumpkins, and candy! I am also looking forward to General Conference this weekend and getting together with my mom and sisters on Priesthood night. I am hoping we can go to Gardner Village and see all the witches...I have never been! Hope everyone else is enjoying fall as much as I am!

The Big 22!

I had a fabulous birthday this year and Nephi and my fam did such a great job of making the day special for me. We stayed overnight in Park City the night before my birthday and had fun swimming, shopping, and just spending time togeth! I love going to Park City it doesn't even feel like I am in Utah and it is a fun little get away and as always the shopping is incredible! On my birthday we went to my parents house and had a party. My mom made some great food and we had a lot of fun. Nephi gave me a mini laptop and wii sports resort for my birthday. My parents gave me a new set of scriptures which I have been wanting forev because mine are the ones I got when I was eight and I really wanted a quad, they are much more convenient! All in all the day was great and I loved spending time together with everyone and playing wii sports resort that game is incred! Even Brandy came over to celebrate and it was great to see her! Thanks for all the b-day wishes!
