Sneak Peak!!

I'm ENGAGED!! YAY!!


The picture really doesn't do it justice!!

Jazz

While in Utah we were able to go to a Jazz game...Utah vs. Minnesota!! This was my second Jazz game and Shane's first, so it was exciting to be there in person to encounter the excitement. Rob, Amy, Shane, and I went out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants before hand...California Pizza Kitchen and then made our way over to the game. We were greeted by some Jazz chearleaders and you'd think that Rob and Shane had won the lottery. It was fun to be there even though they lost to one of the worst teams in the league. One of the highlights was being able to see Shane's grandma again...this time we were smart enough to get pictures.

Halle's Birthday Week

We had such a fun time while at Rob and Amy's and part of that had to do with the fact that it was Halle's 7th Birthday...I can't believe how fast this little cutie is growing up!! We celebrated on Thursday by going to Provo followed by dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and a shopping spree at Gap for the kids to stock up on summer wear. Halle was so excited that we were celebrating her birthday and when the waitors brought her cake out she thought that it was so cool that they spelled her name right...little did she know that Rob had talked to them before hand. It was a great way to spend the day. We celebrated again on her actual birthday which was Saturday, April 4th!! It amazes me how grown up Halle is...she is one of the most stylish 7 year olds I know and could give girls my age a lesson or two in fashion. I love you Halle and had such a great time with you!!


The Birthday Girl


Mandy's Visit!!

Mandy made a special trip to S. Weber where we were able to have a visit and catch up. I was also able to meet her new little baby Ella...well I guess that she's not so new anymore as she's now 3 months old. She is such an adorable little girl and it was so great to finally meet her and see Mandy again. Thanks for coming to visit Mandy!!


After Mandy left the kids got goofy and wanted to pose for the camera...we had a lot of fun making funny faces and just being silly!!


I love Mya's face in this picture!!


I seriously LOVE these kids to pieces!!

Utah Bound

Shane likes to get an early start on roadtrips and therefore we were up and out of the house by 5am...we were both anxious and excited to get to his grandma's house in Mountain Home, Utah. I was able to meet aunts, uncles, cousins, and his Grandma who was more interested in the Jazz game then talking to me. I was pre-warned before hand, so I didn't mind the disruption.

For those of you who have never been to the Dairy Keen in Heber City you must make a special visit. Their milkshakes are the best I have ever had...they are so thick that they give you a spoon rather then a straw. Delicious!!

On our way to Rob and Amy's house!!

First Times A Charm

Shane first met my parents back in February when they made a trip to Edmonton for the weekend. They immediately liked him as hello...what isn't there to like about him!! Shane and dad had lots to talk about as they are both avid sports freaks and talked business. The end of March it was time to grace him with the home town visit to Stirling where we were able to spend even more time with the family. We were on our way to Utah for a well needed vacation and decided to spend a couple of days in the homeland. Dad made his famous pies and Becky, Kristi, Jared, and the boys even made there way down for the weekend.

Time Well Spent!!

I've been slacking in the blogging department due to time being spent with this hottie!! We both had some time off where we took a trip to Utah to visit family and I just got back from spending a fabulous weekend in the booming metropolis of Hinton, Alberta where I was able to see his neck of the woods.
