Summer

This summer we decided to take our trip to Utah and Idaho.  We usually travel up to Billings but decided to go see Nate's sister and our friends in Rexburg, ID.  It has been 5 years since we left Rexburg to start our lives as grownups.  It was really nice coming back to  a place that I consider a very special place where I have so many memories with great friends.  Rexburg is where Nathan and I met and fell in love.

The temple is Nate's first project he worked on in his career.  He loved it and we were excited to see it again.

This is Lilly at thanksgiving point in Utah.  We had lots of fun visiting Nathan's sister Melissa and her family in Utah.

Nathan's high school friends live in Utah so we got together with them and their families while we were there.

While in Rexburg we stayed with my old roommate and good friend Courtney.  This is her little girl Lexie that Lilly had fun playing with.

Courtney and I,  I really love this girl and I really wanted to come see her and meet her beautiful children.  Thanks Court for letting us stay with you.

Going out to eat at Craigo's but it is now named something else.  But it still is so yummy!!

Summer

Nate's Parents came into town and we went to the zoo with them.  We got a season pass to the Zoo this year so we have been going every couple of weeks.

Fun elephant show at the zoo

We took Nate's family to the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs.  We had a fun time seeing all the fun stuff.

Caroline is ver curious so she gets into trouble easily.  She got stuck in her toy box.

I ran in a race and Lilly got her face painted as a tiger.

I decided to be creative and painted my table and I'm also going to paint my chairs.

Happy 4th of July.  I dressed the girls up to go the church's Pancake breakfast. I made the girls hairbows but Caroline wouldn't wear hers, oh well.

Dance Recital

Lilly's long awaited Dance recital was here.  I'm just kind of glad its over for now.  I was just tired of taking Lilly every week to class and I still have like 13 years until she can drive, oh my I'm pathetic!  Anyways it was fun seeing Lilly's class dance she did a great job!

This was a dance rehearsal the night before!

Lilly and this little girl with her became good friends and were the trouble makers of the class,  two big personalities!

Lilly with her Lollipop!  She danced to the song Lollipop!

Half Marathon, Caroline's bday

Yeah, I did it!! I was very proud of myself for finishing this goal that I have had forever.  It was so much work and sometimes I really was like, Why am I doing this?  But it was worth it.  I am now training for one in July.  Should be good, now that I know that I can do it, should be a little bit easier.

My running partner joy.  She has done a few of these before so she was a great person to run with.  She finished ahead of me which is a great goal for me to keep up with her.

For some reason I really wanted that finishers medal. I was so excited to get it!

My baby is one!!  Crazy how time flies.  She loves the dishwasher and tries to get on it frequently.

First taste of cake and she loved all of it!

Lilly being cute!

Easter

So we had a great easter this year.  We give our girls their easter stuff on Saturday so they can spend all day Saturday enjoying their stuff.  We had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday which was lots of fun for Lilly.  So this Saturday I will be running in my first half marathon.  I am pretty excited about it!!!  I just want to get it over with so I can finally say I did it.  Wish me luck!

Their First matching outfits!  I was pretty excited!

Lilly's first time in Rollers and they actually turned out very nice! 

Lately and Valentines!

I hope there are still some people out there that will be reading this.  I know I haven't posted in awhile!  I hope all is well with everyone!

For Christmas we went to Billings with Nathan's family.  I didn't add any photos from that b/c that would be a lot of photos.  But we had a good time.

This is Lilly with her gingerbread house that she made!
