my excuse

So in case anyone is wondering why i haven't blogged .. 1- I have been way busy, no excuse considering all you new moms and 2- my computer is a piece of crap! you have to wait forever to get a clear enough screen to use it and I'm too impatient. So i just posted four things so dig in and I will do my best to check out all your blogs and I'm so excited to see them

Family PHOTO time














Lucky Dog

We got a new dog about 1 month ago and we couldn't be happier with him. His name is Lucky Burningham and he is a 16 month old Yellow lab. He is Evan's best friend. Evan holds on to him when we go for walks, they go side by side. Evan will stand at the back door and watch him all day and if he leaves, he cries... It soooo cute. Here is a picture of the newest family member

Yippee!!! NEW Kitchen

So we had quite the project. We repainted and stained all the cabinets and entire kitchen. I know for all you folks with a new home this might not look like much but for everyone who has seen my ugly old brown kitchen this is like a dream!( look in the open house pics for a view of the old kitchen). We were really excited all our hard work paid off and our house is looking great. take a look at the new kitchen (not to close though, we still have some touching up to do)

Fun at the ZOO

Here we are at the zoo. we had a blast. Kev and I go every year but it was so much more fun bringing our little best friend along. Being a parent really makes life's experiences much much better.




This eagle was awesome, Such a beautiful bird and what a perfect month to share it

We could hardly get Ev to look at the camera. He was way to into the animals, he's a lover already...just like his parents!!!


But all fun must come to an end ...Just kidding! We still had fun just a certain someone needed a nap. It was so cute, I had to share.

THE BIG DAY

So here they are, the pics from our wedding. The day was wonderful and we had such a blast. It turned out so great, the photographer was awesome and the minister was cool too. We had a Hawaiian style ceremony where we exchanged leis, they blew the conch shell and said a prayer spoken in Hawaiian... so cool! But because all weddings have to have stress it was pretty nuts getting to the wedding. With Kev not felling well and us not being able to find the wedding spot, which was crazy, we finally had a wedding that went smoothly and beautifully. The weather was perfect too and there was hardly anyone on the beach, which created a perfect romantic atmosphere. We are so glad we were able to go and enjoy our private little wedding. But for everyone who wasn't there, really... everyone, we brought back a pretty awesome video of the whole thing to share. I can't believe we really got married in Hawaii!!! And we're so glad we did, what a great memory.

Our time on Oahu

Every one has been asking to see pics from our Hawaii trip so even though it was a month ago, I figured what better way. We had a blast. Our hotel was in Waikiki and we had a fun room with a great view of the ocean and Diamond Head volcano crater it was awesome. We toured a lot and spent a lot of time on the north shore (you know, where the surf competitions are). Our favorite things were the Polynesian Cultural Center (please if you visit Oahu..GO!!!) they do a fun luau and a great show, and Pearl Harbor, it was so peaceful and amazing. There is evidence in our pics that we surfed, I was better than I thought and course Kev was good, that was a great time but oh we were tired. We also boogie boarded, snorkeled (which I didn't love so much...Fish ahh!!) And ate great food. The Dole Plantation had great pinnapple ice cream. We hiked a beautiful waterfall in a botanical garden which was probably the most lush place I have ever seen, but most of all we relaxed on the beach and enjoyed our surroundings. In the end 10 days was just enough time to have a blast and be ready to come home to our baby and good old Utah.
