This weekend was awesome - Ty and I went to this new Chinese food place in Orem then went to a movie. On Saturday, we woke up and had breakfast, I went to the gym, then we went birthday shopping for T Bear. After that, we went to the temple and dinner with his family. We went to Milagros, a new Mexican food place which was really good. Tyler had a meeting for church after that, so I made some pies (vanilla cream and coconut cream) for Sunday dinner at my parent's house. When he got home, we went to get a movie at Blockbuster then got yogurt at Spoon It Up. Fun times with my love! The week before, we had a training for work and got off early, so the girls all went to get mani/pedi's! We then went to the Volleyball game at BYU with Oakley + Scott, Sammy + Ben, and Casey + Ashley. After, we went to dinner at Guru's then went to see Source Code. The next day, T and I had pancakes and watched conference. We then hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls with Marc and Court and packed a lunch and had a picnic. We wanted to go then because the next day it was going to snow again. That night, while Ty was at the priesthood session, the girls went to get mani/pedi's and then we went to Magleby's for dinner.
This is us getting yogurt on my birthday night. Tyler is distracted and he also has a black eye from Paisley, his niece. He leaned to down to help her while she put her head back. Woops!
Birthday dinner at Happy Sumo. My family and Tyler's family came :) After, we went and watched the BYU game, then went to see a movie. Earlier that day, by dad surprised me at the door with a cute decoration for my wall and his favorite book. The day and week was perfect!
These fabulous ladies, Kim and Kirsten, took me for birthday yogurt. We had so much fun as we always do!
On our way to Vegas for the MWC Tournament. I drove up with these girls on Thursday night. Ty went the day before with his parents. If you can tell, we had a little fun...
Giant gumball machine at a toy shop in the Riverwoods on one of Ty and I's date nights.
Mini golfing at Trafalga. We played as couples and I am pretty sure we all tied exactly that night!
This was Tyler's hint that he wanted me iron his new shirts...
Tyler holding our new nephew Ryker at my birthday dinner. He looks very relaxed with his little leg hanging down.
I like how Tyler wrapped my birthday present :) He is too cute.
My mom's present that she gave me - a beautiful pear painting for my wall above my table!
I babysat these little cuties, Vienn and Sephi, for my friend Summer while they went to their law school dinner. If you can't tell, they love putting on makeup!
We had a fun 50th wedding anniversary party for my grandparents! We ate delicious food and played Just Dance 2. My grandpa even joined!
This is what I found at my computer when I walked into work the day before my birthday. Thanks for the yummy cupcakes Mallory!
Out of order. Yogurt night laughter. Love them.
Ty picked me up for a DELISH birthday lunch on Wednesday. Way to get the birthday started off right!
Tyler and I went to Jett's 5th birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. I used to love that place when I was little!
Well, it took me a year and half, but I finished this cute baby blanket! I go to our ward quilting group each month. It's fun, and hard work! Ha ha thanks for Jennifer Partridge who helped me, I finished and I am a proud quilt maker and owner. :)
These are my feet relaxing at the pool in Vegas. It was sooo nice to get out of our cold weather. It April and has been snowing the last few days!
We went to the MWC Tournament which was really fun! The first day we got there, I went to the Venetian pool with Jocelyn and Lindsay. We went to dinner that night at Bahama Breeze and then went to the game which was really good. The next day we did a little bit of shopping then went to the game (we lost!), then went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner then Luv It to get custard. Ty's family has to go there every time we go to Vegas and it's really delish.
Tyler's birthday was on April 17th and we had so much fun celebrating! On Friday night we went up the canyon with Marc and Courtney and had dinner (hot dogs, chips, macaroni salad) and dessert (s'mores and peach cobbler)....healthy, huh?! It was so nice to have it be warm enough although it was still chilly when we weren't next to the fire. After, we went to their house to watch a movie. We celebrated Ty's birthday mostly on the Saturday before his birthday since his actual birthday was on Sunday. We started out the day by going shooting across the lake with Rachel and Drew, then we all went to this new restaurant called Mountain West Burrito. It is in this old gas station in the same building as a smoke shop, but it is SO good! Later that day when we got home, we soaked up the sun by sitting outside and reading. After, we went over to my mom's house so she could give him his birthday presents. They were so funny! She got him lingerie (for me) and a cute sign that goes in our entryway that says, "Be Nice or Leave." Love it! Then we went to Creativity Art Studio to create our own plates! On Sunday, we went over to Tyler's parents house for dinner and they made his favorite, sweet and sour chicken. On Tuesday night we all went to Happy Sumo and his sister Lindsay and her boyfriend gave him a candy bra and g-string! Ha ha I was dying laughing. They went to Florida to visit his sister and they found it in a candy shop. Apparently it's a lingerie birthday for him ha ha! His parents gave him an iPad 2 which he LOVES, Katelin gave him a couple pairs of shorts and hoodie, and Heather and Drew gave him a giant water holder meant to food storage. I gave him some Nike Free's and some new basketball shorts. He had a great time celebrating!
The picture below is totally candid! It looks like I'm trying to flex my muscles :)
We got the finished products back yesterday! Tyler drew a picture of their boat, and his parent's houseboat's name is Wake Pal. I think he wants to go to Lake Powell soon :)
We made some great improvements to our home last week! My mom gave me this beautiful painting for my birthday which looks perfect in our kitchen above our table.
We added this cute valance in our kitchen which I think makes it feel more homey.
At our ward's sewing group I finished these drapes and we hung them in our room which keeps out the sun and makes it easier to sleep! The front of the drapes were finished (I bought them that way), but I bought blackout material at JoAnn's and sewed it on the back. I think it completes the look our bedroom. Tyler helped me hang everything up! It's nice to be married to a handyman.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TY! I'm so glad I married such a great person who is so good to me. Love you!
