Three Year Anniversary

Three years ago from yesterday, I made the best decision of my life! I was married and sealed to this boy for eternity.

I feel so blessed to be married to my best friend. Nathan is everything I could ever want in a husband: hardworking, kind, handsome, respectful, funny, sweet... and the list goes on and on. These last three years have been the best years of my life. I love you Nathan!

To celebrate our Anniversary, we dropped Annie off with a babysitter (thanks Zeeni!) and headed to Idaho Falls. After a little shopping, we went out to dinner at Snake Bite. The food there is DIVINE! We finished the night off with chocolate cake and a movie. Altogether, it was a perfect day!

30 Weeks Down...

10 to go!

Say Cheese!

This girl is constantly wanting her picture taken. She will find the camera, bring it to me, and say, "Cheese". Luckily, the camera loves her back :)

Christmas 2010

We had such a GREAT Christmas yesterday! It was our first Christmas we had with just the three of us. We spent the day opening presents, eating amazing food, and spending quality time together. Annie and Nathan both received new hats and they both wore them all day long :)

It was a perfect day.

I am so grateful for my Savior and the chance we have to celebrate His birth every year. Merry Christmas to all!

Crochet Flower Headbands

Now that Christmas is over, I can finally post this. I made these for my sister and a few of my sister-in-laws for Christmas. They were the perfect way to keep myself busy!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Even though the quality is not that great, because it was taken on my phone, I couldn't pass it up to post on the blog :)

Salt Lake

Tuesday morning, we took a quick trip to Salt Lake. I was able to be a bridesmaid at my prior roommate, Brittany's, wedding. She looked amazing and I am so happy for her!

We decided to stay one night to make a quick family vacation out of it. After all of the wedding festivities were over, we spent that evening walking around temple square admiring all of the beautiful lights.

Perfect way to feel that holiday spirit! I love Salt Lake during Christmas time!

Christmas Shopping

We started yesterday's afternoon with some lunch from Gator Jacks. This place seriously has some of the best sandwiches that I have ever tasted.

Next, was a visit to Santa. Annie was excited to see him, but once she sat on his lap, she turned shy and was a bit unsure about the whole situation.

After spending some time in the mall, catching up on all of our Christmas shopping, we ventured over to Sports Authority. Nathan and Annie did a little putting... Annie even found a club that was more her size :)

BYU-Idaho Center Dedication

Yesterday we had the privilege to attend the BYU-Idaho Center Dedication. President Henry B. Erying dedicated the building with a beautiful prayer. Elder Russell M. Nelson and Elder David A. Bednar were also present. The main auditorium of the 435,000-square-foot building seats 15,000 people. This is only 6,200 seats fewer than the Conference Center in Salt Lake City.

We feel so blessed to go to this school and take part in this uplifting event.

Snowflake Cookies

Annie and I made some snowflake shaped sugar cookies today!

Thanks to Brad and Katelyn, we were able to get them all frosted tonight too. Delicious :)

Ward Christmas Party

We have such an awesome ward! Tonight was our Christmas party. The night started with a delicious dinner, followed by some BEAUTIFUL talents preformed by members of the ward. Below is a picture of Bishop George with Annie. We are so blessed to have him as our Bishop.

After the party finished, Annie played a little one-on-one with her dad :)

She's a champ.

Fairmont Hot Springs

Friday night we met up with the Cope's for a quick family visit. We stayed one night at Fairmont Hot Springs. We went swimming, played games, and stayed up late talking and catching up. Annie loved hanging out with her cousin, Matthew.

Right before we left, we took a group photo in front of this beautiful tree!

Then finished the day off with an ice cream sandwich :)

It was a great visit, definitely worth the drive! Thanks for everything Copes! We had a blast and miss you already.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Dancing is one of Annie's favorite hobbies. With this particular song, she throws her arms up in the air every time she hears the lyrics, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

Animal Sounds with Annie

Bubbles...

She loves them.
