Our Pride and Joy!!!!

We decided that while we are living in Utah we might as well try our hand at gardening! We had our own little jungle in the beginning but we worked hard and cleared out all of the craziness. Next we planted zucchini, tomatoes, green peppers, serrano peppers and PUMPKINS!!!! We watered them and gave them lots of love and WOW we are so happy with our garden. The most important thing I wanted out of the garden was an awesome pumpkin but we didn't have anything until 2 weeks ago then Wa-Lah 2 pumpkins are growing! We are going to have the best Halloween!!!!

Timpanogos Caves

The first week of August we went to Timp Caves with Regis and Emily! We had so much fun. It was a pretty good hike. It was fun all the way up with Ammon and Regis keeping us entertained with their leaf popping! The caves were cool inside but it was mostly nice to spend time and have fun with good friends!!



The heart of the cave








Last week Ammon and his family took the tour together!!

The Big 25!

Happy Day! We just celebrated Am's 25th birthday! It was great fun! We had to go to work and school but that didn't stop us. We're all about celebrating Birthday WEEKS not days! So we spread it out. On his birthday I made him breakfast and we got to celebrate that night and open presents. Later that week we went to Ammon's favorite restaurant Tucanos. It is a brazillian rodizio. They just keep bringing around different types of meat until you cant handle anymore. It was great to be together!

Let It SNOW! Let It SNOW! Let It SNOW!

WOW! Talk about White Christmas! We have had lots of snow storms lately. So I thought I would share some pictures with you all!

The Best Husband!!

Crazy Days! Since we have moved.....almost one year ago (CrAzY) life has been full of life changing moments. I have had to do things that have definitely pushed me WAY out of my comfort zone. Ammon has been there for me with everything. He is so encouraging and thoughtful! The past couple of months have been so rewarding yet terrifying. I am so grateful to him for helping me to have confidence in myself. I had a really big week at work and after I got through it with Ammon's help of coarse. I surprised him and took him to dinner! We had the best time!

The Monster Mash!!

So we started a new family tradition for us. We decided to get into the spooky spirit by carving pumpkins while baking pumpkin cookies and rocking to pumpkin tunes.
Ammon carved up the headless horseman and Katie went with the boo factor.



"I scalped my first pumpkin!
wo wo wo wo wo!"








"You mean there's gunk inside?!!!"













"Hey I'm a natural!!!"

Ghoul's Nite Out!!

Ammon's aunt Cobie decided to throw a Ghoul Party and she specifically tossed him a dis-invitation based on his manly gender. Well, Ammon hates being left out of a party so he did the only logical thing he could. He donned my old homecoming gown, lathered himself with makeup, painted his nails, pinned on a wig, and of course added the finishing touches with a pair of jiggily water balloons!! Then he and his fun lovin' cousin Mote crashed the party with a WOWING effect on all the Ghouls there!

Kaylie went as a gangster and I went as a black market surgeon with organs for sale!

**BuSy BuT fUn DaYs**

Hello everyone! Thanks for all your comments! Life has been moving right along for us. Ammon just finished his summer term! Wohoo! I'm so happy for him, he worked so hard and finished great! Work has been crazy busy for me, as usual so we have just been getting through our days! Now we have some time off and we are so excited to spend some time together and enjoy our days. We spent the first part of our days off in Vegas and had a great time! It was so fun seeing all of our family. We are so happy that we were able to visit dad and see how fast he is recovering! Watch out he's going to be running around soon enough! Its always so nice to see everyone! I have really seen as of late how precious life is. I am so grateful for everyone and for everyday. Everyday is important to take a second and just think about that. I know I get all crazed about me and what I need to get done but thats not everything! Ammon is so sweet to me and I love being a wife! We have the gospel in our lives, wonderful families and friends! So many blessings! Thank you to everyone for all of your great examples and friendships. We love you all.

Go Forrest!

Wow! What a fun night! Tonight after Zoe's baptism we got to enjoy some good UFC fights! Our favorite, Forrest Griffin won! We have had a great and super busy time in Las Vegas this weekend! It is so nice spending time with family and watching the kids as they grow! I am grateful we were able to spend Independence Day here with everyone! It was a real treat! I hope that everyone else had a great holiday also!

P.S. Sharie I'm working on helping you get those marbles back! ha ha
