Thanksgiving 2012

We were able to fly home to Phoenix for Thanksgiving. Always a welcome break from the Idaho cold!

 Carousal at Railroad Park 

 The men went golfing behind the house and stopped by for a visit...and to give the kids a ride.

Catch Up

So, one of my goals before this new baby comes (did you hear we're having a baby?..yeah, in 2 weeks!) is to catch up on this here blog! So get ready for a major overload of posts to catch up on the last year of our lives. This is mostly for my own record keeping, so feel free to just skip over them :)

House Tour

This is mostly for my family that hasn't seen our new home yet, but here is a crazy, random, out of order tour of our new house. There is still a lot I'd like to do but after painting the entire thing..we're a little exhausted! We really love it here and could not feel more blessed!!

New House!

Soo I realized that I never posted on our biggest event of the year!

We bought a house!!

We've been in for over a week now and it's been great! The move was pretty overwhelming and I never want to do it again (unless it's to some place warm ;) and we still have a lot of unpacking to do, but I love being closer to town and just a few minutes from Twin Falls. We painted the entire house for over 2 weeks and I never want to think about those two weeks again... But we are here and feel so blessed. Hallelujah for a crappy housing market and rock bottom interest rates :)

I'll try and post a home tour once we get settled.

Road Trip!

Because it was our anniversary on the 8th, we decided to take the week before the wedding and drive down to California. We made the (hard) decision to leave Grant with Brandon's mom for the week (thank you!!) I was really sad leaving him, but by the end of the trip we were glad he didn't tag along :)

We got to stop on the way to Provo and see my new niece, Riley!

We stayed in Provo and Mikey and Shiann's (Thank you!)

Brandon and I used our Seven Peaks pass on Monday

Then went to our fav Thai restaurant!

And I got my FAV dessert, mango and sticky rice

Next stop: Vegas!

We stayed at Adam and Meghan's (Thank you!)

Another old roommate, Craig, was driving through going back to dental school in Cali and stayed with us! It was great to be reunited.

We ate at The Sugar Factory on The Strip.

The. best. pizza of my life.

Then the boys had to play a little b-ball...in Adam and Meghan's bedroom..

Anniversary dinner at Cheesecake Factory in Caesars Palace

Bellagio water show

Next stop: Hemet, CA!

Snuggling with the babe

Frozen yogurt with some of the family that stayed at Melissa's

Next stop: Laguna Beach, CA!

We all got to go to this gorgeous private beach in Kaitlin's family's neighborhood

The next days were full of wedding festivities!

It was a great vacation!
