Day 208: Monday 16 August 2010

This is what I came home to today. My love was making us some breakfast for dinner. I am so lucky to have him!

Day 207: Sunday 15 August 2010

In love with this breathtaking hike we took yesterday.

Day 206: Saturday 14 August 2010

More birthday celebrations! We went back up to Snowbird for the day to use our all-day fun passes. We did the zipline, alpine slide (our favorite! we did that 3 times), had a picnic lunch, and then rode the pervian chairlift to the top and hiked around. It was so beautiful and the weather was so perfect.

Day 205: Friday 13 August 2010

We finally got together with Angela and Spencer! We haven't seen them since we got married and have both just been so busy lately. They came down and we had a BBQ and spent the evening sucking helium out of balloons to make funny voices and catching up. I love Ang and am so glad we are still so close.

Day 204: Thursday 12 August 2010

We met up with Lindsey at one of our good friend Mike's wedding reception. It was such a gorgeous night and a beautiful wedding. We had so much fun catching up with Linds and were entertained by all the crazies on the dance floor.

Day 203: Wednesday 11 August 2010

We made some delicions Chicken Tikka Masala for dinner and it was superb, especially with homemade chapati on the side. Yummmmmmmmm. I especially love that Dave really enjoys tasting food. It sounds silly, but he really does just appreciate good-tasting food and focuses on it when he eats. He is awesome.

Day 202: Tuesday 10 August 2010

Loving the lovely days we have been having recently. Now I just wish I could spend more time enjoying them and less time inside without any windows in sight.

Day 201: Monday 09 August 2010

We grilled some burgers for dinner and it actually felt like summer!! Dave decided on a double cheeseburger, with lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I'm not sure how he got it to fit in his mouth, but it sure looked tasty.

Day 200: Sunday 08 August 2010

We got invited to hang out with Thora and the rest of the fam before they left to go back to Texas. Pool was the game of choice. Here Matt and Jake plan out their latest moves.

{side note: 200 days???!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by!}

Day 198: Friday 06 August 2010

Let the celebrations begin! We finally got to celebrate Dave's birthday (since last weekend was family weekend). I surprised him with a nights stay at Snowbird and dinner with his good friends, Matt and Calah. They are soooo awesome! We ate at the Cheesecake Factory and had such an awesome time.

Day 197: Thursday 05 August 2010

Got to see this little guy today! Lincoln, Dave's sister Heather's baby, is the most adorable thing ever.

Day 196: Wednesday 04 August 2010

Dave's parents took us to Brick Oven for his birthday. It was so much fun to get some personal time with them while they are here from Texas.

Day 195: Tuesday 03 August 2010

We finally got a washer and dryer! Some friends that used to be in our ward gave them to us when they moved. We are so happy and grateful. And we are also especially grateful that Christy and Jason let us use theirs for 6 whole months.

Day 194: Monday 02 August 2010

We had a family reunion with my mum's side of the family on Saturday at Mutual Dell (in American Fork Canyon). We got to do the zipline for a couple hours and it was so fun.

Day 193: Sunday 01 August 2010

Happy Birthday to my baby! His sister Thora, who is in town from Texas, threw him a birthday party and it was so great. I love this girl so much.

Day 192: Saturday 31 July 2010

Dave's nephew, Owen, was baptized today! It was so great to have some family in town from Texas for the special day and Liz (Dave's sister) even decorated this awesome Pirate cake for Owen. She's talented!

Day 190: Thursday 29 July 2010

Happy (late) Birthday to my mum! We celebrated a day late since she works in the temple on Wednesday nights. It was really awesome being able to spend some time with her and party the night away with her. She doesn't look anywhere near 50 and I just love her so so much.

Day 189: Wednesday 28 July 2010

Christy painted this cute little thing for her friends' son from a drawing he had done. I love it and think she is just so creative and artistic.

Day 188: Tuesday 27 July 2010

We decorated my dad's office tonight as a surprise for my mum tomorrow. It's her 50th Birthday and my dad wanted to make sure we made a bigger deal out of it than normal. Love the headstones and black balloons.

Day 187: Monday 26 July 2010
