My Dad

The love affair all started on April 25, 1989


and it has grown into 21 years of a fathers love for his children and for his family


without this man, I wouldnt be who I am today


Thank you Dad for your hardworking example, endless fatherly love, and hilarious personality of "nonsensical" deaf humor. Despite all you have been through you have been there for me, as my friend and father. Our family would not be a family without you. XOXO 9x9.

I am forever your daughter

ONLY IN IDAHO....


my awesome husband took this picture as he was walking home from school. turns out aaron was walking faster than 'donkey man'. if you take a closer look you can see he made this mobile contraption out of items he just had laying around his house... you would NOT see this on main street in southern california, needless to say i'm going to miss this place!

Memorial Day 2010

HAPPY ! MEMORIAL ! DAY !





Yay for holidays! This Memorial Day weekend was fantastic! My family drove up from sandy, utah for 4 days. On friday we hung out and watched a movie... it was SO nice to see them! Havnt seen them in a while, and plus they havnt been to Rexburg before! It so fun to host them at our apartment for the first time. Saturday the weather was horrible so we decided to head over to the Idaho Falls Temple vistor center, they have a new space hubble exhibit which is amazing! It was pouring rain the whole day! But we still managed to have a BBQ at Denise's with the kids.






On Sunday we made the drive to Yellowstone Nat'l Park, though it was raining most of the day, windy and cold it was still beautiful! It was so fun seeing all the animals in their natural habitat. Paisley's favorite was the Buffalo! We saw Old Faithful and the kids weren't too thrilled but it was worth the wait. Then it managed to snow so we headed to the lodge and to the giftstore and waited it out. We loved Yellowstone, we havnt been in years and probably wont til we have kids in a while.






Monday was beautiful Memorial Day! We set up horseback riding with my mothers old missionary companion that lives in Rexburg; she has about 20 horses. It was so much fun to watch the kids on the horses and learn how to ride. Mac is a natural, she took riding lessons a while ago. And Dad has always rode since he was little. Mom was so fun to watch! and Aaron wasnt a big fan of riding, but I did catch him talking to a horse :) it was cute. he loves animals.






Then we all grabbed some lunch together and off they went! It was a BLAST to have my family visit especially in our little 2 bedroom apartment. I love you family and Thanks for coming! Also I owe a huge thank you to my wonderful husband for helping me plan and cook and clean and everything for this weekend! I love you! Mwah!
