Just Some Randoms....

We have been having so much fun this summer, that I seem to be falling a bit behind on my blogging! We just got back a few weeks ago from our amazing cruise to Alaska (pictures to come) and have been enjoying visitor after visitor at our house! Hopefully when it quiets down a bit I will get a little more caught up!

Until then, enjoy these random beauties of Miss A enjoying life!

(I can't believe she is almost 2)

Missing You......

Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart. -Unkown

My most beautiful and gracious Grandma Linda passed away suddenly and it has left a huge hole in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She was supposed to out-live us all, but just as my cousin said, instead she out-loved us all. Thank you Grandma for the countless phone calls just to see how we are doing. Thank you for being the most gracious hostess and cooking the most amazing meals. Thank you for being our biggest fans and supporting us no matter what. Thank you for taking care of Gramps and showing us what unconditional love is. Thank you for the endless books and sweet messages written inside for your dear great-grandbabies. Thank you for your words of encouragement when life got hard. Thank you for the tight hugs and cheek pinches. But most of all thank you for being an earth angel and blessing all those who knew you, you were definitely taken to soon, but we all know you will be waiting at the gates of heaven with open arms and big hugs for us .

We love you Grandma and will see you when the sun sets on our lives.

Watering Can + Hose= Hours of Fun!

Addie loves playing in the "wader" (as she would say), and whenever she gets done she always tells us "I Soaked!"

Celebrating...

{May 27th 2010}

Bryson had to work on our actual Anniversary this year, but I did get some beautiful flowers and the most adorable card that day, but needless to say I was still pretty bummed we couldn't spend the day together.

So the next morning Bryson told me to be ready in something nice to go out around 6:00 that night. He had already gotten a babysitter (thanks again Kimber and Jayson :) and had everything all ready to go. So we dropped Addie off and headed to The Roof restuarant at the Joseph Smith Building downtown. We had never been before and Bryson had made reservations and had it all set!

Let me just tell you, it was delicious!!!! They had the best buffet of endless prime rib, shrimp, salmon, cod, veggies, salads and over 20 desserts! They also had a pianist playing and she just happened to play "The Luckiest" which was a song from our wedding video, so that was pretty fun to hear! We also had an amazing table right in front of the temple and got to watch the sunset, it was beautiful! We ended up chatting with an older couple who sat across from us and realized they were from St. George and now lived in Pine Valley (We told them we hoped that would be us one day!)

We ended the night by walking around Temple Square and stumbling across the Tabernacle Choir practicing so we went in and listened to a few songs and then headed home!

Thanks for planning such a fun night and having everything taken care of!

I love you babe!
