How Precious <3

How adorable is my baby!!! She is such a princess. Don't worry, I don't dress her up all the time, but how can you resist. I feel bad for my children. They are gonna be sick of me playing dress up. I just love her to pieces.

She was pooped after our run ha ha

I finished!!!

This past weekend I ran the Salt Lake City Half Marathon, which is 13.1 miles. It was an amazing experience and I am definitely still recovering from it today. My legs, back, arms and muscles I didn't even know I used when I ran are hurting. It was a great experience! The first 5 miles were so awesome. I ran them all without resting and thought this is gonna be awesome, after that it became a little harder. After mile 1o I wanted to die. My legs were killing and I was so worn out. Then out of nowhere this little guy came running past me and lo an behold it was a full marathon runner who was passing me after he had ran 26 miles. That definitely gave me some motivation and I really wanted to finish in 2 hours and 30 minutes. The last part of the race was brutal being uphill, but I finished in 2 hours and 45 minutes. It wasn't my goal, but there is always next time. It was a great accomplishment and I am proud that I finished. I just want to thank Josh, Jenny(Josh's Mom) and Hailey( Josh's little sis) for being my cheerleaders. They definitely helped me throughout the way.



Super gay face.... I wanted to pass out right here

Wedding

Last weekend, we headed up to Logan for Josh's great friends wedding, Kent Koefed. Josh was a groomsmen and enjoyed being in the line. Josh and I met at Kent's house almost 3 years ago and both have known Kent for awhile. I hope that Kent and his wife are very happy together! After the wedding, we headed over to Tara's house and played cards. Josh especially loves coming up to Logan and playing cards! Everytime we come up he thinks we are going to move back up there( But it's definitely not going to happen, although we love and miss our friends). On Sunday we went to Josh's Aunts baby blessing. She is 46 and just had her 7th child. Bryce was definetely not expected, but has been a great blessing and bundle of joy. He was absolutely adorable. Although we missed the blessing we got to hang out afterwards. I swear we can never be on time.

This little girl was hilarious, we didn't even know her and she wanted a picture with Josh!

Can you say slacker?

My hubby is so cute!

So it's been a long while since we last posted and We have done so much! First off it was my birthday on March 3rd! It was very low key, but a great time. Josh and I went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse(my favorite) with Josh's Brother Jake and at the time girlfriend Carley who just happenend to have the exact same birthday as me! I love her to death and I hope one day they can get married. We have so much in common, its a little bit freaky. Jenny, Josh's mom also, made us dinner and a yummy yummy better than sex cake. A few days later my sweet grandma passed away on March 7. She was in very poor health and had very little quality of life. It was definitely a bittersweet moment, because I know she is not in pain anymore, but it was hard to say goodbye. It was a great reunion with everyone, but not the best time to meet up. Isn't it sad that the only time you see loved ones is usually at sad occasions. I love my sweet grandpa and I hope that he is doing ok!! After the funeral, on Sunday all my close family came to Josh and I's house and we hosted our first dinner party. We had over 25 people over and It was a great time. I am glad that we are able to have parties and entertain, I just love it! The day before we went out and bought a new couch. I definitely love it although Josh took some convincing. What do you think of the improvement? I have definitely been a decorating queen lately or maybe just a shopaholic. Sometimes I truly think I have addiction haha!

P.S. I hate blogging! It always turns out backwards!

Are you ready for some football?

I love him!

Cole

Avery doing the U

Josh and I have been avid sports fans. We love the Utes since I will soon be an avid alumni and definitely enjoyed watching the utes destroy Alabama. I was definetely excited and the game was awesome. We love to entertain people and we had people over for the Sugar Bowl. Sweet little Avery was so funny we told her to do the U sign and she thought it was hilarious. We also, had people over for the Super Bowl on Sunday. It was a blast. We ate lots of bad food and definetely did more socializing then actually watching the football. After the game, Josh decided to arm wrestle and destroy everyone. It seems like with a few drinks the boys always seem to have more testorone. I was very excited to have everyone over and see Cole, a really good friend of mine's baby. Cole is 6 months old and has had 2 open heart surgeries. He is the sweetest baby and never cried once. I admire Emily so much for all the hard work and dedication she has put in to to provide for her son. Overall, it was a fabulous night. I will try to be better about blogging too. I know this has been forever. We also went to Body World's on the closing day. It was absolutely amazing. The body is an amazing machine and it was great to see it in that form.

Christmas and New Years

Paisley desperately needed a haircut


Josh thought it was hilarious to bang on the pan, he dented it and broke off the handle.

Tiff is so adorable.

My beautiful bestie Tara

I am sorry we haven't posted in so long... We have been busy and lazy. For the holidays we spent a lot of time with family and friends. On Christmas Eve we went up to Logan to hang out with my best friend Tara's family. We went to her grandma's christmas party which she has every year. I have been going to the party since I was around 5. Josh has never had the experience because of the engagment last year. I was really excited to show him off to that side of the family and especially to sit on Santa's lap. It's a traditional that is held every year. Josh and I really enjoyed our selves and Love love love having such great friends and second family. We slept at Tara's Christmas Eve and made our way down to South Jordan in the morning to spend time with Josh's lovely parents. I love his family so much and they are amazing to us. We definitely go spoiled not only from them, but with the new addition of house, which has been amazing. We have had some struggles trying to close on the house in the past month, but it's all finally coming to a close. Christmas was awesome this year and I love being able to spend time with my husband. For New Year's, I had to work, but after I got off we met up at our good friend Parker and Tiff's house. They had a few people over and Capone(Parker's Pitbull) and Paisley played with each other. Paisley is so funny she thinks she is a lot bigger than 5 pounds and really enjoys playing rough with the big dogs. New Year's was great and I enjoy being surronded by great people.
