The Simple Things

Yesterday the weather was real nice, so after a delightful nap, and some episodes of our new favorite show Glee, we went on a walk and got some frozen yogurt. Being in Rexburg, where there isn't much entertainment or things to buy, we have come to appreciate the simple things in life. We have become more creative in our frugality and I never thought I could be so happy living this kind of life. Lately we have been wanting to buy lots of things to upgrade some things in our apartment, but I am happy with what we do have, and when I think about it am grateful for the simplicity. And that someday we won't be freaking poor and we can have a baby who looks like this:

ASHTONS WEDDING....and baby update

Ashton got married this past weekend. It was a beautiful wedding and perfect weather in Las Vegas. Clayt and I were super happy to be there, and especially for our bbq/pool party on friday.

I got to spend some time with my favorite girls this weekend. They are too cute. Dylan is the best 2 year old swing master I know. she can almost do the "pump and push" on the swing with her tiny short legs.
I love her face.
Monie is unreal. She has such a personality now and is the nicest baby.
Dee Dee is a great yard worker too.
We had a great break from school and by the looks of this semester, it will be our last great break for awhile.

we had a great Easter feast. The food was so good and really easter-y. Ham, mashed potatoes, devil eggs, carrots and ROLLS! it was REAL good.

this week I was pleasantly surprised coming home to Clayt cooking us a delicious meal. barbecue chicken burritos. yumbuffalo chicken pizza on easter eve with our egg dying extravaganza.



It was a great weekend, a little sad that our families were in Vegas. But still a great holiday with just the two of us

Birthday with some beef and cheddar

oh cute new birthday outfit

his favorite toy of all time
the cookie platter
going on the birthday date

Saturday was Clayt's 23rd birthday. He chose the activity of course and his choice of dinner was Arby's... and he wanted to see Sherlock Holmes again(our third time in theaters). I enjoyed a delish beef and cheddar and after the movie and he opted not to have a cake, but oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I didnt hate it, they are my favorite too. I love you babe. Happy birthday

My SSEEEEEESSSSEEEERRRSSS

Lately I have really been missing these two ladies. I used to have a real problem with these girls back when I wished my name was Michael... but that all changed after puberty. Seesers are the best friends in the world. I love you ladies, and love all of your unsolicited advice. Never do I have a better time than when we are all together. And it feels so good to just lay low and eat more in one day than anyone needs in a whole weekend. and special thanks to Amber, your babies have given me pure bliss in the form of little girls. Thanks for keeping it so classy, you are both totes Grace Kelly and I Love you

and it couldn't have been any better of a weekend. I got to see the babies

I can't believe its been a year. But a great one at that. Ashton had her bridal shower this weekend, and so we were able to carpool from Salt Lake to Vegas and spend our anniversary there. So much fun, we definitely want o do it every year. We stayed in the Paris and it was so cute. We were total tourists and it was nice to go back to the place where it all started for us. I love you Clayt, thank you for an amazing year and I am so excited for about 68 more.
