6 year wedding anniversary

We had a wonderful 6 year anniversary. We went to The Roof for dinner as we have for the most of our past anniversaries. We then went to see a movie (Ghost Writer) which was excellent. We then went home and indulged in our favorite guilty pleasure...Pralines and Cream from Baskin Robbins.
My mom and dad were so kind as to take Conner for the night, it was the weirdest thing to come home after our date and have the house quiet. There was no one to take care of, no one to force to go to bed, it was...just weird. It's kind of funny but Corey and I both woke up the next morning having slept better than we could remember sleeping in a long time! That silly Conner really stresses us out... but I can't lie, I missed him, even tho it was just one night! :) The next morning we went to our favorite little breakfast place to get my Blueberry Pancakces. Its waayy up in the Big Cottonwood Canyon, we have only been there a few times but man it was to die for.

Here we are at the Roof.

Goofing off before the movie starts.

Here we are at the cabin/restaurant where we had breakfast...can you say blueberry pancakes by the fire? It doesn't get much better than that right? (I wasn't able to get any good pictures, so here is the Cor man with a very weird look on his face.)

Best attempt at a pic of both of us.

See ya next year!

Happy 6 years

1 letter changed our lives forever!

1 year of writing, 9 months of long distance dating, 10 months dating after that, and now 6 years of marriage. It was worth the wait! Happy Anniversary! I love you Corey!

Picture of the Year

Conner is a lot of things...SHY is not one of them!!!

So the picture is the important part.

But, the story behind it is that Conner went with my parents to a Talent Show for my dad's ward where he is a bishop. It is a student ward at the University of Utah and my Dad said to have Conner bring his guitar. So at the end of the show Conner got up in front of 80 U of U students and played his guitar and sang his favorite song, " Vultures" by John Mayer. Of course everyone was amazed. We wish there was video of him doing it but it happened so fast my mom couldn't get the video camera out fast enough to catch it. Thankfully we have this FANTASTIC picture.

February stuff

Last Sunday was the first SUNNY day we had seen in a loonnng time. Because our church doesn't start untill 1:00 (a terrible burden to place on anyone, 1:00 church should be banned, especially when you have a child who takes a nap at 1:00!!!) we decided to go up to the ski hills and show Conner people skiing and enjoy the sun. It was BEAUTIFUL up there. Just stunning. Corey thought it would be great to show Conner the skiers because he had watched the Olympics with us for the past few weeks and loved it.

He was so excited to be up there and it looked like his heart was going to break in two when we told him it was time to head back home so Corey let him get out and pretend he was skiing. He would run down this little snow hill and jump into Corey's arms. We can't wait to take him {real} skiing next year.
These pictures don't really depict how sunny it was...but trust me it was :)

Two peas in a pod

Dinner with some friends we haven't seen in way too long. JP and Steph Dillier. Steph is having a baby in May and we couldn't be happier for them. It was fun to talk to Steph because she is right at that part during your pregnancy where you're just starting to feel like crap haha :) it brought back many memories!

These are cherished friends we have had since we were married. Corey and JP served together on their missions and ironically they lived just down the road from us when we lived in an apartment our first year of marriage. Now they live just down the block from where we are living now. We are looking forward to abusing their friendship by using their pool all Summer! :)

Valentines Day 2010. Here is the wild child making valentines for people. I LOVE Valentines Day. It very well could be my favorite holiday. I know a lot of people think its pointless, but I love it. This year it was on a Sunday (how dumb is that?) so Corey and I celebrated on Monday. We went to dinner and a movie. Corey has always been very understanding and attentive to my love for Valentine's Day. He always makes it very special. I am so lucky to have two handsome valentines!


This was the funnest night. My best friend Ashlely needed me to watch her son Jace for a while and I told her to just let me keep him all evening until she got off work. I was able to say this almost selfishly because these two are BEST FRIENDS. Conner adores Jace. Honestly I don't think I have heard Conner laugh so much in a long time. All night long Conner was laughing and bouncing off the walls because he was so happy. They ate dinner, played in the play room, colored, took a bath, and then got on their pajamas and watched a movie and had snacks.
By the end of the night they were both doing everything they could to keep their eyes open, but they were unwilling to let their time together end. I don't know how I got so lucky as to have my best friend's little boy be my son's best friend!

Hardly keeping their eyes open.
