Utah Part 1

Reagan had a week off of school for Fall Break so we decided to take a trip up to Utah to see Brian's family. His parents were there visiting and one of his brothers from South Carolina were there for a few days as well. We had planned to leave Sunday the 7th but since Brian wasn't working(thank you government! ;)) we decided to head out Saturday so we could get in at a decent hour on Sunday. The kids did so much better in the car then I expected. We had lots of movies, snacks and stops :) Carson only cried if he was hungry and when it was dark out(so that was rough driving from Vegas to St George at night...). We got to Scott and Stephanie's about 2pm. It was so nice to get out of the car! That night was a big family dinner so we were glad we made it in time to see everyone. And I forgot a camera so all the pictures are from my phone so I apologize for the poor quality! (FYI, picture overload!)

Hoover Dam


We stopped in St George so I told Brian we had to go see the St George Temple, which happened to be about 5 min from our hotel.


It's beautiful!

On Monday, we took a trip to the BYU bookstore and up to Park City to ride some slides down a mountain. It was freezing! I had forgot to pack my coat so after we wee done with the slides, we ran other to the outlet mall and bought a coat. Ah now I can handle the cold! Monday night we all met at Brick Oven pizza for dinner. It was delish! We love their root-beer. A guy came around making animals out of balloons so all the kids got one. Bryson got an awesome dinosaur and Reagan got a dog.

Tuesday we drove up to Sundance and then drove the Alpine Loop. It was beautiful! We had some cafe rio for lunch and then headed over to Thanksgiving Point for the Dinosaur Museum. Bryson was in heaven! Ashley and I decided to take the kids on a train ride back to Prove where Rob and Brian would pick us up. The kids loved it!

Alpine Loop. Wishing I had an actual camera!

DINOSAUR MUSEUM!



Bryson could have played here with the dino's all day!




haha Bryson didn't like sand getting on his head so he pulled up his hood really high!

Reagan and Emery playing with their puppets while we were waiting for the train

this is trouble!


They all loved the train! Bryson refused to take a picture but he loved it, too! 

Wednesday was a lazy day! Wahoo! We played around the house and then went to a pumpkin patch just around the corner from Scott and Steph's. The kids loved everything besides the haunted house and the scary tractor driver. 

She was scared of this giant pig!





Bryson loved these slides!

8 months

I could have sworn I had already done an 8 month post but can not find it any where! Darn it! 

This little boy is hilarious! He is so good for Daddy when I'm not around but as soon as I come home and he see's me, he will scream until I hold him and then he's fine. I can't wait to see what he is weighing at his next month check up!

*2.5 teeth :)
*crawling
*gets into EVERYTHING!
*mommies boy
*starting to not care for baby food
*2 naps per day
*pulls himself up on everything


he loves to sit at the table and eat whatever we are eating.


his 1st big bruise :( he was standing up at the back door and Bryson opened the door so Carson fell head first onto the concrete. It was one of the loudest crashes I've ever heard! :(

6 years

Happy Anniversary to us!!

It's hard to believe that we've been married for 6 years! The past 6 years have been a blast and I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else. In the 6 years that we've been married we have: had 3 kids, lived in 6 different houses, moved from AK to AZ, Brian joined the Air National Guard, served in some awesome church callings and we've made some great friends!

Since we were in Utah for our anniversary, we wanted to go back to the Bountiful Temple since that's where we were sealed 6 years ago. It was great to be back there!

Our Dating days :)



to our Engaged days :)


 yep we are married now!



 almost married 1 year and pregnant with Reagan


 6 years later back where it all started!(well really it started back in AK playing basketball:)) and brian was totally laughing while taking these pics....He has a hard time being serious!


Here's to many more awesome years(and maybe babies ;)) to come!!
