Grandma Sharon

2011-11-19T18:58:00.003-07:00

I am very sad to post that my Grandma Sharon, my mother's mom, passed away last night. It has been a very sad day for us and we are still shocked. She was 69. This has been hard for my family, especially knowing that my brother is coming home from his mission in 3 days. We love her very much and we were not expecting this. She died from natural causes and was found peacefully in her living room. Grandma, I love you and I can't wait to see you again!

California

2011-09-18T21:11:00.005-06:00

Just last weekend Christian and I were able to get away down to California! We had a great break, ate a lot of good food and went to some awesome games! We were able to go see the Utah vs. USC football game! It was awesome! The Colosseum was HUGE! There were so many people there and quite a few Utah fans that were there! The whole outside was one big tailgate party! It was a great game with a lot of suspense! I was disappointed that Utah lost, but Christian being from Riverside, CA was thrilled that his team won!!

While we were there we went to the beach, did some shopping and went to 2 Angels vs. Yankees baseball games! The first game the Angels won and the second game, which was on 9/11, was won by the Yankees. Even though we love the Angels it was hard not to want NY to win on such a special day! Going to the ball park is always so much fun and we hope to go again soon!

Thanks babe for a fun weekend! GO UTES! GO ANGELS!!!

Cancun!!!

2011-08-26T19:58:00.008-06:00

So, I know I said I was going to keep blogging, and let's just say I have been REALLY bad about it! I have so many things to share from the last few months!! I will just start with cancun and go from there! We were able to go the Cancun, Mexico in June and we had SO MUCH FUN!! It was such an awesome vacation! I loved spending so much time with Christian. It was a much needed break for both of us!!

Here we are on the shuttle to Las Vegas!!
This is the beach just outside out hotel! Christian was testing out the warm water!!

This is our hotel. The picture above is the view from the balcony of our room!!

We were able to take some awesome pictures with a monkey, the kiss was not bad, but it was horrible when he stuck his tongue in my lips to run along my teeth!! YUCK! I was terrified that I was going to get some horrible disease! We also went to Tulum, one of the Mayan ruins. It was amazing! The beach there was beautiful and we be enjoyed learning about the culture and history there!! We golfed at the Hilton golf course, where Christian shot one over, which is amazing considering he had never played that course before! We went to some fun places to eat, one night we even met up with one of my friends that I work with that was down there with her family!!

And, last but not least, we were able to watch game 7 of the NBA finals at Hooters in Cancun! It was awesome to see the Mavs win! We had such an awesome trip and we look forward to going again! I have a thousand more pictures but not enough time to post them all!!

Hiking In Zion

2010-06-11T12:45:00.004-06:00

So, Christian and I decided to go up to Zion to go on an evening hike and then to dinner! We had so much fun! We hiked the Emerald pools. We went to the upper pool and enjoyed the break from the heat for a little bit! My dad and his friend Andrew were kayaking the river up there in Zion so we met up with them and went to this great little place called the Flying Monkey. It was a fun little trip and we enjoyed it a lot!!
Thanks baby for such a fun evening!! I love you!!

Back to Blogging!

2010-05-27T21:12:00.005-06:00

Hey! So, I know its been a year but my brother Marty who is on a mission has requested that I start updating my blog so he can actually see what's going on in my life!! A lot of things have changed since last year! We bought our first house and did a major remodel on it! We re did the kitchen recently and we love it! We also got another dog! Her name is Miley and she is a boxer blue heeler mix. I promise to post more about our changes from the last year!

This is our house! We cut down the big cottonwood, re did all the flooring except the kitchen and dining room flooring, re painted the whole house in two tone, remodeled the entire kitchen, put in new window coverings and re did the garage that the previous owner had trashed! It was a foreclosure and it needed some serious help!!

This is our kitchen remodel. I will post a good before and after soon. It turned out beautiful! Christian did an amazing job!

I will post again soon!! Love ya Marty!!

Graduation, Lake and Camping!

2009-06-16T17:17:00.003-06:00

So this last month we have had a lot of fun things go on! We had my brother Marty's graduation, had lots of family in town, went to the lake a lot and we went camping with some friends! We hope you enjoy the pictures!!

After our camping trip to New Castle Resevoir we stopped by the Mountain Meadows Massacre monument! I can't believe I have lived in St. George for 15 yrs and I have never been there. It was cool to see the overlook and the monument. Thanks to Christian for such an awesome camping trip! And to Ry and Nat. It was our first successful camping trip! It was a lot of fun and the only thing that went wrong was that it rained on us through the night and into the morning so we had to leave a little early. It's a good thing we both had full tents that had rain flys!

BIG POST II

2009-05-09T10:55:00.005-06:00

Here are the rest of the pictures that we have from the past few months! This is Taylor working on Christian! Thanks Tay! :)

So Grateful!!

2009-04-15T09:47:00.002-06:00

So this is officially the first post without pictures! I feel like such a slacker...I don't have anything fun to post! On Easter sunday my brother was able to recieve the priesthood! It was so much fun to be there with him on that special day. Christian was able to stand in the circle with my dad, pete, marty and my grandpa. I am so happy that Christian is worthy to use his priesthood. I look up to him so much and I am so grateful for him and all he does! I am proud of my brother for keeping himself worthy as well to recieve the priesthood! I also need to say how blessed me and Christian are because we have such great families! They are all great examples to us!! Another huge blessing in our lives right now are our jobs. I feel humbled and grateful that I am able to have such a steady wonderful job! Christian may not love his jobs right now but I am so proud of him for sticking with them during this rough time...he is a great example to me! Thanks so much to all our friends and family and everything you do for us! We love you all!!

CRUISE!!

2009-03-13T16:46:00.002-06:00

So Christian and I took a cruise with our closest friends from San Diego to Ensenada Mexico this past month! It was so much fun to go and just relax with everyone! The weather was a little colder than what we wanted but it didn't stop us from having fun! We enjoyed the endless amount of food and goodies and we had fun watching the shows! Thanks to everyone that went with us! We loved being in good company!

These pictures are from Mexico....we went and shopped at the flee market! Definitely a fun place to mess around! You can't ever be too serious with Nate and Christian together!!

Blast From the Past!

2009-01-20T15:51:00.005-07:00

We were flipping through some of our old pictures and we found a couple beauties that we just had to post!! High school was a blast....too bad life goes on! Ha ha!!

More Family Reunion

2008-12-17T11:33:00.003-07:00

The night after Thanksgiving we all went down to Temple Square to look at the lights. It was cold but really beautiful. We enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate before heading home!

After Temple Square the girls all went back to Taylors for our Midnight Tea! We ate so many good treats and exchanged some great gifts! It was a lot of fun to have Hailey with us this year! Thanks to her and to my sisters in law and my mother in law! They are all so great to me and I enjoyed spending time with them! We had a great time overall and can't wait till next year!

Thanksgiving at the Willards!!

2008-12-05T14:50:00.000-07:00

BYU VS. UTES

2008-11-25T16:55:00.000-07:00

We had a little football party on sat for the BYU VS UTAH game! It was so much fun! We had to have it at our condo because my parents have satellite and unfortunately don't get the mtn. It was fun to have everyone together! Marty and Hailey were the only BYU fans so the rest of us were pretty happy that Utah won! GO UTES!

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

2008-11-12T15:05:00.000-07:00

I can't believe its been a year! Its a miracle we made it! Ha Ha! We had a fun time going and staying at the Zion Park Inn....and not such a great time hiking Angels Landing! We are both a little out of shape and it was cold and rainy! It was still nice to get outside and do something different! We didn't quite make it to the top, but that's okay! You can't get upset when someone is afraid of heights...its not a fun thing. Overall we had a good anniversary and are happy to have made it a year! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY! I LOVE YOU!!

Marty turns 18!!

2008-11-11T17:48:00.000-07:00

Marty had his 18th birthday on November 8! We had a lot of fun hanging out with the family! We went to Chili's and then went back and opened presents and ate cake! We all made it a joke this year to get him something for his mission (really cheesy stuff) to fake him out and then we got him actual presents that we pulled out after! The present that me and Christian gave to him was the "Dear Missionary Pillowcase"! He thought it was the funniest present of all of them! He was laughing pretty hard after he opened it up! I told him he better use it when he is on his mission though!! :) We love you tons Mart-man! Happy birthday!

Bruce is a SKUNK!

2008-10-31T13:32:00.000-06:00

Bruce's halloween costume this year is a skunk! We love him so much! He makes our lives so much fun! We get to dress him up and laugh at him and he still loves us! Ha Ha! He looks way too cute!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Halloween Party!!

2008-10-31T13:28:00.000-06:00

Here are some pictures from our halloween party! We had a lot of fun! We carved pumpkins, made sugar cookies and watched a scary movie! Thanks so much to Terran and Cory for hosting the party! They are the best! I didn't get a good picture of them though! :( Our other friends Ryan and Nat are in the top left corner and Homie is in the the top right! He had the best costume by far! We loved it!

Bruce's Hack Job

2008-10-20T15:46:00.002-06:00

After being out camping poor Bruce had to get shaved! :( We tried to do it ourselves and he looks horrible! We did our best and hopefully his hair will grow fast!

Camping at New Castle Reservoir

2008-10-20T15:44:00.000-06:00

The day after Christian's birthday he wanted to go camping, so we went with our good friends Cory and Terran! We went to New Castle Reservoir. It was a fun but really cold trip! We tried to go shooting rabbits but there were none to be found. The boys had a good time shooting trees and bushes anways! When we went to set up our tents Christian and I pulled out a big walk in four man tent that we set an air mattress up inside. Terran was so mad because Cory brought this little tiny one to two man tent that sat so low to the ground! I don't know how they didn't suffocate! Ha Ha! It was way fun though and the fire kept us warm! Terran did a good job finding wood around the campsite to use! She ain't no sissy! Bruce kept getting stickers in his fur everywhere! We finally had to put plastic bags on all his paws so he could run around without getting any! He looked funny but was a good sport about everything! We were happy to be home but we sure did have a good time! I think we'll wait till the cold weather goes away before we try any more camping trips!!

Christian is 23!!

2008-10-20T15:35:00.000-06:00

Christian's birthday was last sunday Oct. 12! We had a friends and family BBQ! It was so much fun to have everyone over to celebrate! We ate burgers and hot dogs and salads and cake! Thanks to everyone that came and thanks for pitching in with the food! After we ate the boys and a couple girls went out and played a game of flag football! Hope that CJ had a great birthday! I love you so much baby!!

Fellas!

2008-10-20T15:20:00.000-06:00

2008-10-07T14:28:00.000-06:00

It was the only niece on my side of the family's birthday!! She turned one on Sept 27! She is so cute and we love having her living here in St. George now!! CJ had to coax her to sit with him by giving her candy! We had so much fun!

Fishing At Pine Valley!!

2008-09-25T17:47:00.001-06:00

We went to Disneyland for a day and had alot of fun until CJ got sick!! This is us on the Matterhorn...riding double. We didn't fit too well! This is us goofing around on our way through the Indiana Jones ride! We went twice in a row because there was no wait! September is the perfect time to go!

This is us on the ride...we tried to get some fun things in the background but it just blacked it out. :(
On our way to Space Mountain...

Overall we had so much fun and we look forward to being able to spend more time in California! We had such a good time together and it was awesome to just escape and relax! I love you so much baby! Thanks for a great vacation!!

More California!!

2008-09-23T13:15:00.002-06:00

Of course Christian had to sneak some golf in on the trip! One of our good family friends Jack Archer called to invite Christian to play in a Fender Benefit Golf Scramble. We drove to Corona where the four guys played as a team. The other two guys were Jack's friends. They didn't win but they took seventh out of thirty two teams! Christian did win the putting contest though so he was way excited!!

Angels Games!

2008-09-20T10:30:00.004-06:00

We went to two Angels-Yankees baseball games there in Anaheim!! The first night we were sitting on the first balcony right behind home plate! We could see everything so good! The second night we were five rows from the field just down from first base! The angels won the first game and they lost the second.

This is Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter!

CJ was looking hot in his Angels shirt and hat!!

A fight broke out between an Angel's runner and the Yankee's catcher! It was awesome!

Seaworld!

2008-09-18T15:13:00.003-06:00

Both of us hadn't been to Seaworld since we were little kids so we decided to go and spend the day! We had a lot of fun!

This was a manitee that swam right up to the glass and was pressing his face on christians! It was so cute! This is Christian sleeping in the polar bear den that they had for us to play around in. It looks like he wont go hungry this winter! Ha Ha

Me in the same polar bear den. This is us getting ready to watch the Shamu show!

California Vacation

2008-09-17T14:51:00.003-06:00

So over the week of Sept 5th through the 12th Christian and I got to go on a vacation to California! It was so much fun! There are a lot of pictures so I will post them in themes! These are some pictures from the beach.

We bought body boards and tried to ride some fun waves in!! We had a good time even though the water was cold! Atleast it was sunny and warm on the beach!

Utah State Amateur - Final 4!!

2008-07-16T16:05:00.005-06:00

Sorry its been such a long time since we have posted anything. Its been a crazy summer!! Just this last weekend Christian played in the Utah State Amateur golf tournament. He did incredibly well! 296 players qualified to play in the tournament. Only 32 made it past the first two days into the match play portion of the tournament. (In match play you go head to head against another player and try to beat him. If you shoot better on a hole you win that hole.) He creamed the first player he came up against 6 and 4. Thats really good. The next player was one of his SUU buddies. He beat him 1 Up at the 18th hole. This made him top 8. The next day he played an old dude in the morning that was a real jerk. He beat him 3 and 2 and we were all pretty happy about that! So that made him final 4. The guy he came up against in this round turned out to be the champion of the tournament. It was a long hard fought day. They were tied for most of the 18 holes. One hole they even both eagled to tie the hole. That never happens! It just goes to show how good these two really are. After 18 holes they were still tied. They went to a play off hole. Christian made par and the other guy made a birdie to end it. It was sad to see him lose after such a hard fought round but we are all so proud of him for getting so far!! He is top four in the state and Im sure he would have won the whole thing had he beat this guy!! Good job Christian! I am so proud!

One last thing...this barn was right off the golf course and I really thought it was straight out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It looked like some guy was gonna come ripping through the door with a chainsaw!!

Chelsi Dawn Petersen

2008-06-16T12:31:00.002-06:00

Chelsi Petersen was a good family friend that passed away in a car accident on June 6, 2008. I had the opportunity to do gymnastics with her from the age of nine until age fifteen. She was an incredible athlete and she was the sweetest girl. I love her family so much. Her little brother Chaz feels like my own brother. I will miss her and I hope her family knows how much I love them! I love you Chelsi!

Summer Fun at the Lake

2008-06-10T14:30:00.003-06:00

My parents, Becca and I all went to the lake on monday! It was so much fun to be wakeboarding again! The water was freezing but the air was warm so it was a great day! Christian was working and we all missed him out there.
This is my dad jumping on the wakeboard....
And this is my mom wakeboarding....
I am so lucky to have such great parents that can go out and do fun things with their kids! They are the best!

Sunday Hike

2008-06-10T14:23:00.005-06:00

Jaqueline's Birthday Present

2008-06-10T14:04:00.003-06:00

Christian and I gave our little niece Jaqueline her birthday present a little bit late but she seemed to love the gift! We are giving golf stuff to every neice and nephew ha ha wonder why?! She is so cute and a couple weeks before we gave her this gift she was sitting with her dad and she picked up his golf magazine and was looking through it. When he asked her what she was doing she said "I am going to teach myself how to golf"! Now she can with her own set of golf clubs! We love you sweetie! Happy Birthday!

Golf Tournament

2008-05-23T16:56:00.003-06:00

This last weekend Christian went and played in a tournament in Cedar City. He placed fifth after a really good couple days! I went and watched him play on sat and he had a great start. He went eagle-par-birdie-eagle!! He was five under for four holes! He looked absolutely hot in his outfit! Its hard to see in pictures but his shoes had orange snake skin stripes down the sides and he had a nice orange and white polo! It was so much fun to watch him play! He is an amazing golfer! Good job baby! I love you!

Hailey's 8th Birthday!!

2008-05-23T16:48:00.002-06:00

Well I am beginning to feel like all we do is post about out nieces, nephews and our dog! We are really exciting ha ha! But this was the 'girls day' that Hailey wanted for her birthday. We all went shopping and watched her and my sister in law Kaitlen get their ears pierced and then we went and ate at Wingers!!

Sunday Fun at the Hansen's

This is Hailey one of our neices holding good old bruce while we were over there on Sunday.
This little one is Kaycie...look at those beautiful blue eyes! She is gonna be cute just like Hailey!
Once the kids were in bed we had fun playing guitar hero, dance dance and karaoke with Mckenzie and Nate! We actually got the boys to play dance dance which was pretty funny!! Notice how Nate is moving his feet and CJ is just standing there! He should probably stick to golf!

And of course we have to throw in a picture of our baby!! What else do we have to post! Ha Ha!!

Mason's 6th Birthday

2008-04-30T15:17:00.002-06:00

It was our nephew Masons birthday!
He loves pirates so it was a pirate theme!
One of his presents was a set of golf clubs,
imagine who came up with that gift idea?!

Mason's dad Nate made this cake for him....

We hope you had a great birthday
Mason, we love you!!

Camping at Baker

2008-04-28T20:54:00.004-06:00

So we went camping this last weekend up at Baker Dam Reservoir with our friends Ryan and Natalie. It was a lot of fun even though it was really cold. The best part was when they pulled out their tent and realized it was a half a tent mesh see through thing. We had a pretty good laugh about it !! We took Bruce and their dog Rocky with us. We sat around the fire and had hot dogs and smores!! We hope to go again soon! :)

BRUUUCE!!

2008-04-25T16:41:00.002-06:00

So we finally have a new addition to our family! This is Bruce. He is a Yorkie-poodle-shitzu mix (we think)! He is seven and a half weeks old and we have so much fun with him. He is really bad at potty training though :( We hope he will get better at that. Its just like having a kid so hopefully this will keep me occupied for awhile! CJ isn't ready for that big of a step yet. Having a puppy is hard enough!!
