Happy 24th B-day Tyler!!!

Tyler loves having a Halloween birthday! Especially since that means he gets to celebrate for over a week with different family members. 2 Sundays ago he had his birthday dinner with my family. He loved opening presents early! All he wanted this birthday was backpacking stuff, so we got him boots from me and my brothers families. A jacket, backpack and a compression shirt from my parents. And of course we got to eat yummy oreo madness that my mom makes. So delicious. Its a copy cat recipe from TGIF.

Over the weekend we had Tylers traditional birthday dinner at Tucanos! We stuffed ourselves silly. That place is sooooo good. It is a very good thing we only go there once a year. And if you sign up they send you a free birthday dinner good anytime during the month of your birthday! So tylers meal was FREE!!! Then on Saturday Tyler wanted to try his new backpacking stuff out so we went on a short hike in Sundance before the Sperry Halloween Party. Tyler and I were Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. Mike, Kelly and Kylee were all dressed up as bumble bees. Rob said he was Brad Pitt, what a bum for being the only member not to dress up!!! Janei'a was a witch, Cade was the cutest golfer, and Kaia was a pretty angle. My mom wore a fun witch hat and really cute light up pumpkin earrings.

Then last Sunday we had his birthday dinner with his family! His parents and Nick got him the water purifier he wanted. Kathy thought that was very boring, but Tyler loved it. Now he is set for back packing!!! Sarah got him a UT hat and a movie! He was very excited for a new hat and so was I. His old hat was getting kind of dirty!! Thanks Sarah :) He also got to eat cheesecake which is one of his favorites.


This morning I surprised him and woke myself up early to take him to Krispy Kreme and Starbucks for Hot chocolate! These are 2 of his favorites and it was very yummy! It was a big surprise because Tyler is always up by 6:15, but I am not a morning person so I sleep in as late as possible, but I woke up! Now Tyler is off to school and work. Tonight we are doing the trunk or treat for our ward. Then we will the presents I got him and eat another one of his favorites: chocolate cake!

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS A GREAT B-DAY FOR TYLER

I love you Tyler. HAPPY HALLOWEEN BIRTHDAY!!!!

6 Facts/Habits about yourself
Tag 6 others at the end and let them know!

My Six

1. I absolutely love to do anything crafty. Like scrap booking, painting, or decorating my house. I can never come up with the ideas because I am not very creative, but I am a great copier!!! And thanks to Tiffany Cusick I have made lots of cute things.

2. I don't care if my room is clean. It is so messy right now and pretty much always!!! I HATE making my bed and think it is a waste of time. I am never home anyway and when I do get home I just go straight to bed. So it is much nicer if it is all ready for me.

3. I love to bake and cook! I am so excited to be a stay at home wife so that I can cook every night. The only problem with baking is that I love to eat it and it shows.

4. I play tennis with 2 forehands. Most people have a backhand and forehand. Whenever I watch myself on video it is really weird. It is fun to play with people who don't know that about me because they get really confused.

5. I have a horrible habit of biting my nails. It just a habit that I can't stop.

6. I love to travel! What is better than getting away from stressful life and visiting somewhere you have never been. I was lucky to grow up in a family that we travel a lot and Tyler and I have been blessed to visit a few of my favorite places that he has never been! I go crazy if I haven't been somewhere in more than 6 months.

Sorry to do this but I tag Kelly, Tiffany S, Angie, Kim, Tamara, and Janelle! Good luck girls.

Tyler is incredible!!!

My husband is simply amazing. The past 2 weeks I have been SOOOOO crazy busy and hardly home at all. Without asking him he has picked up all the things I typically have time to do. INCLUDING:

• Laundry (towels, whites, darks, and garments) and he even put them away!!!!)
• Cleaning the kitchen
• Doing all the dishes (including the hand dishes)
  
• Cleaning the front room

The best part about this is I didn't even ask him and he never once complained. Now what else could I ask of a husband! Tyler I love you and you really are amazing!!!!

Nothing new!

Hello everyone. I just noticed that I haven't posted anything in a while and since I give my friends a hard time if I don't hear from them I thought I would post anyway.

This past week has been so crazy. I started off the week finding out that I have 2 bulging disks in my neck. I seriously laughed when I found out. One more thing to add to my stupid body :) I see the spine specialist on Oct 19, so I will find out more about that. I also created a DVD for Tyler's Grandpa Mason. It is his 75 birthday party this week. With such short notice I had to work quickly, but it turned out very good and I am excited to play it for him today! I am also running a tennis tournament next week with 120 kids in it. So I am just getting ready for that. I had to design t-shirts, make the draw, and order trophies!

There is my boring, busy life!!! :) I am sad to say that I did not see 1 premiere these past 2 weeks, But we finally got the Disney Channel and I LOVE HANNAH MONTANA!!!!! That is the cutest show.

A time for new things...

It was time for a new hair cut. I cut off 4 inches in the front and 5 in the back. I was so scared, but I think I actually like it! Hurray!

Tyler also insisted on me learning how to golf. I was a little bit hesitant at first, but I got into it. Plus look how pretty this course is. The sunset was incredible.

One of my favorite parts of golfing was driving the cart!
Look at my form. HAHA! I am still learning, but I did hit a few good balls.

Happiness

This week was testimony meeting in church and since I am way to scared to share my testimony in church I thought I would post here.

I love this church. I am so happy when I am doing what is right. Each morning this past week I have prayed that I could have a smile on my face throughout the day. This simple act has made me so much happier. I find myself doing little things for Tyler and not yelling at my tennis kids quite as much :) Through these simple services I have noticed that a smile goes a long way and the people around me are a lot happier.

The Lord wants us to be happy. He wants us to succeed and share our love with others. This past year I have learned so much patience. I have learned to accept the Lords will in the Lords time. But accepting His will is not enough, we need to learn to accept His will and be happy about it. Now I know this is not an easy thing to do, but it is possible. No matter what trial we are given we can learn to be happy. What greater happiness can we have than a knowledge that we have a Heavenly Father who love us and knows what we need.

As I have been learning this lesson this past year I have also gained a testimony of family. What a blessing we are given to have family to be there for us. When I feel weak I know I can always turn to my family. Tyler is especially strong when I feel weak. He amplifies Christ by always listening to me and just holding me when I cry. He always seems to know what I need. His love and understanding has helped me to gain such a better relationship with my Father in Heaven.

Trials are and always will be a part of my life. Some may be harder than others, but I know with faith I can endure anything. I am learning that while I am enduring that I need to enjoy all aspects of the ride and learn to be happy. Through faith and patience all things are possible!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!

Tyler and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary this past weekend. We had a blast. I took Tyler up to Stewart Falls and we had a picnic. Tyler had so much fun exploring up there. He loves to hike. After lunch we came back to the Sperry cabin in Sundance and fixed dinner. We had pork medallions wrapped in bacon, fruit and garlic rolls. It was delicious. For dessert we had brownie ice-cream pie. Then we opened our presents we got for each other. I got Tyler the clear play Dvd player (which he has not stopped talking about for about a month now) and he got me this book I have been begging for! We watched a movie that night and just relaxed. The next morning we woke up and went to Midway for a breakfast at this cute little restaurant and then we spent the rest of the day in Park City. We went to the Olympic park and went on all the rides there. Then we went and saw No Reservations. Can I say this is the cutest movie! After the movie Tyler was feeling a bit sick so we went back to the cabin and watched a few more movies. It was a nice relaxing weekend away!

Can you find Tyler?!?! He is such a monkey and climbs everything!

I thought I was totally addicted but I guess not!
