♥♥ Here's to 4 years!!!! ♥♥


In honor of 4 super, duper, awesomely, amazingly wonderful years being married to thelove of my life....a fun lil thing about us!

1. Where did you and your husband meet? My brother Dale who set us up on a blind date, to which Tim replied "great, we'll be family!".....little did he know. =)

2. How long before you kissed? My 20th birthday. We had known eachother for 6 months, we were "just friends" at the moment, but after he laid one on me, there was no way we were going to stay just friends!

3. Who kissed who first? He did. I was actually a lil nervous.

4. How long from the time you met until you were engaged? How long from the engagement to the wedding? We went on our first date on New Years Eve 2004, he broke it off right before Valentines (After would have been a lil less rough), We became "official" on my bday June 14, got engaged on Labor day- Sept. 5 then got married on a beautiful day November 19 2005.

5. How did he propose? When we were dating, he asked me what my dream date was. For proposal, he created my dream date which was: Must have a beautiful view, Italian food (yea baby!), dancing (he put together a romantic playlist), and just having fun talking together. He outdid himself, it was better than my dream date.

6. Did he pick out the ring or did you? He did. I showed him many rings I loved, but he decided to surprise me.

7. Do you still like the ring? To be honest, not at first. It took awhile to grow on me. I love love it!

8. Where was your wedding and reception? Salt Lake City Temple. I love how it looks like a castle. Reception was held at the Lion House, where I was working at the time...got some sweet deals!

9. How many bridesmaids did you have and who was your maid of honor? I didn't really have bridesmaids.... all of my sisters and Tim's, how about that? =) Maid of Honor was Janae.....I think. Since she was the only girl not married.
10. What color were your bridesmaid dresses? My colors were bright pink (NOT hot pink, but bright pink), tropical green, and white.

11. What was your bouquet made of? Pink Stargazer lilies, white Calla Lilies, small white flowers with pink gem centers and some other kind of flower.

12. Who gave you away? My dad.

13. Did you cry during your wedding? No, not really.

14. What style was your dress? Empire waist, sheer fabric (over silk) split at waist and elbows. Sleeves were my favorite, the sheer part hung down long, so flowy and princess like! In fact there were kids who thought I was a real princes...haha did I fool them!

15. Was your wedding kiss sweet or sexy? I dunno, there were lots of people around, so I'm sure it was very sweet.

16. Who caught your bouquet? My cousin Charisse!

17. What flavor was your cake? I think it was applesauce cake. My boss, Julie made it for me and did a fantastic job!

18. Did you smash the cake onto each other's faces or feed it to each other nicely?
It took a lot of restraint not to shove it in his face, but I did give him a nice big piece! =)

19. What was "your song" that you danced to at your wedding? "The Reggae Song" by Colors. Interesting name for a wedding song, but the lyrics are very sweet!

20. What did you serve your guests to eat? Let's see.....chicken salad croissant sandwhiches, nut cups, punch, mints and raspberry cream tarts. The Lion House has THE BEST food! Olive Garden comes in next.

21. What did your friends do to decorate your car? oh, the only thing I remember is there were condoms ALL over and Dale unplugged something or 'nother so our car wouldn't start. Once we had a lil freak out session, Dale told us and plugged it back in. It wasn't funny at the moment, but we can laugh about it now.

22. What was your favorite wedding gift? Favorite?? All my family and friends supporting us!

23. What was the worst wedding gift you got? There were no bad gifts. i heard someone got the movie "Ben Hur" though....hah

24. Where did you go on your honeymoon? Park City in a nice condo.

25. Looking back, is there anything you would have changed about your wedding? Yes, I would've eloped! haha ok, not really, but it's a LOT of stress to plan a wedding....I blacked out at the mall one time. I wish it was warmer so we could've had the Reception outside, also giving us more room for a dancing floor. Oh, and I wish I didn't have that monstrous zit right smack between my eyes. lovely. Other than that, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Thanks Handsome, for making these past 4 years some of the greatest times in my life! I will treasure them forever and ever and ever! ♥♥♥♥ I love you sweets! ♥♥♥♥

9th & 9th + embarrassing moment

We went to check out a clump of stores downtown on 9th & 9th that we saw on studio 5. I wouldn't have really found them otherwise. One of the stores, Children's Hour, seriously had THEE cutest, CUTEST clothes ever! I love loved the styles. Most were from the Netherlands....boy do they know how to dress over there! There were sooo many things that I was just drooling over and wishing upon a star to have.....then I saw the price tag and yea, it's gonna take wishing on a hecka lot of stars to get those puppies!! woo.... One of the children's dresses came to $500...I kid you not! WHO has that kind of money to spend on clothes??? and especially just one thing...AND it being a child's dress? man, I was bummed out that I can't and never will be able to afford such adorable things.... then again, even if I DID have the money, I don't think I'd ever be able to justify spending that much on a piece of clothing. Oh well, it's nice to dream and wish.....right?!


Next store was Apt. 202. weird name for a store, but they had some great stuff! Compared to the prices at the children's hour, these were nothin! I love the different, fun, unique styles they have around there.

We took a lunch break at Great Harvest....and this is where my embarrassing moment comes into play. First of all, their pumpkin chocolate chip bread is AMAZING!! oh sweet heaven, it was yummy! So we get in there and there's a table with butter and honey right? The girls are getting whiny, so I see half a loaf of bread sitting on the table and cut off a chunk for Faith to eat. As I was struggling to cut off another piece for Mikkie, a guy walks in and waits for me to finish. As I give it to Mikkie, he picks up the bread and asks if I took a bite out of it..... Say wha?? Why would I take a bite out of bread the public is sharing? Weirdo!!!......Is what I was thinking. No, I just cut off a little bit with the knife, sir. Then it dawned on me, "is that your bread??" Yes. "....................OH!!!!! I thought it was the Sample bread!!! I'm so sorry!!" I stood there I'm sure with a red face as he walks out the door. Oh, I felt so stupid. My mom and sister were laughin at me while Faith & Mikkie had absolutely no clue they were eating "stolen" bread. As I was waiting for my order, I noticed people setting their bread on that table getting ready to butter and honey it before they left. What I couldn't figure is why that guy left it THERE, of all places, and left! anyways.....I'm still trying to get over the embarrassment. .....although, it DOES make me laugh.

To make myself feel better, we went across the street to Garden Gate- homemade toffee and chocolates. mmmmmmmm the toffee was delish!

After we went to the Peach Boutique. I had the "wantsies" in there too! Good thing these wantsies don't cost an arm and leg. They had some fabric flower headbands there that were way cute, but $33 was still not convincing enough to buy. I took one look at them and thought...my heck i could whip those up quicker and cheaper (maybe not as cute), but wanted to give it a try. So, I made a bunch last night and as soon as I finish up some odds n ends, I will post the finished products! You excited?? Cuz I am! =)

It was fun to go somewhere different and check out some fun places!

New addition to family and Halloween decor

No, the new addition is not a baby (I would have had to be reeeeeeeeeally sneaky to pull that one off with no one knowing!haha) and it's not a pet (yet ;) We are excited to have Maria, a friend of my family, live with us! She's 11 years old and is a great girl and absolutely loves to play with our girlies. It's a new experience having a kid in school already, but thank goodness her track doesn't start til 9:30! The girls are continuing to out number the boys in our fam....4 to 1 now, hah! Go girls! =)

Does anyone else like to dry their roses and decorate with them? Well, I do; I didn't want to pack them away but they don't quite blend in with the holiday decor surrounding it, so........................ I spray painted them black to add a nice touch for Halloween! Love it. Need some more roses to dry after this........... HINT HINT to my hubby.... hehe ;)

Do the Do

I started the ol' pony tail/hair in a bun and knew it was time for a change again! I'll give ya a wild guess who did my hair. ;) We both LUH-HOVED it after she was done! It's now fun again to fix my hair! I'm sooo excited!!

I didn't tell Tim cuz I wanted to surprise him....not exactly the quickest observer. ;) But he loves it, and that's all that matters.

My SIL gave me a hard time last time I got my hair done and didn't post my 'before' picture, so....this is for you, Marcie. ;)

From Nasty to.......

Sassy!!
You're A-mazing Tam! =)

Views, Snooze and other news

Not very many parks have an amazing view like this! The hike up to the park was a good work out right up to the slide, but it was worth it!Faith had a sticker frenzy, sticking them anywhere and everywhere including our couch, Tim's backpack, the tv, wall, and as you can see, Mikkie. Foam stickers...it's the new fad!


Faith used to fall asleep a lot in her johnny jumper, she loved it. This is the first time Mikkie has fallen asleep in it. It was funny cuz I hear her jumping then silence, jumping, then silence. I look and she's sleep-jumping! Too cute!

Royal Pain

Being crowned so many times I should feel like a Queen, but I don't...why? Ask my dentist, he's crowned me at least 5 times. Royal pain in the mouth.

In April I had a surgery on one of my previous molars that needed a root canal. I had an abcess which was making my sinuses all whacked out. They had to re-drill through the tooth, and once again gettin crowned.

Last month I woke up to find a hole on the side of one tooth. what the? How did that happen. Went to the dentist last week and found out that before my root canal on that tooth I got a filling and when they put on the crown after r.c. they didn't bring the crown down all the way-just stopped at my filling....lame. So, once AGAIN, gettin crowned.

I think I'm starting to see a pattern here. Guess I better go eat some more chocolate and continue to not floss my teeth. ;)
