"School" Clothes

On Monday, my mom took my sisters (minus Kaylie who was sick), me, my grandma AND grandpa to Park City to shop for "school" clothes. I don't have school anymore but I tagged along anyway. We had fun, I don't know how much fun grandma and grandpa had (haha) but we were glad they came. We even had a little picnic! I bought some school clothes for Steve since he really is going to school and I made him try them ALL on, but he said no pictures, sorry. I'm glad we went, thanks again Mom!

So this month Steve and I have been partying like it was our birthday-mostly because it was. We are both 23 now, which is fun. We are still getting used to it. We treated ourselves to a vacation earlier this month, we were invited to dinner with our families, and opened many fun cards and gifts. Thanks to all for our birthday wishes. July is our favorite month, so we are still going to party.

I don't know why she made this face! Haha!


My grandpa wishing us a happy birthday before we ate the cake.

Last week, Steve and I went to Hogle Zoo with some of our family. We had lots of fun, and we got to see the animals from Madagascar. Here's a few pictures.

Us enjoying the nice hot sun.
I made Jess and Kaylie stand in front of the elephants so I could take their picture. I convinced them I needed it because their birthday was the next day. So they let me.

I brought some pixie stix with us and when Jade ate her first one, she put so much of it in her mouth that it was too much for her and this is what her face looked like-puckered. Haha! After that they were her favorite and she kept asking for more "sticks".
After our zoo trip we headed up to Powerhouse to go camping with Steve's family. We had so much fun, we got to use our tent for the first time! Yay! And we got to try out our 4-wheeler on the trails. Steve looks like he's having fun, right? He really did...he told me so.

Leaf Art

I found this really cool website pressedleaf.com and I loved almost all of the leaf art on it! And we can't afford to decorate much so I decided I would make some myself. The difficult thing is that to make this it takes almost all year to gather the leaves! I have 3 maple leaves of different colors and still needed green, so my wonderful husband took me into the canyon yesterday-after stopping for a slurpie :) to gather some for my leaf press. It was a fun outside day, thanks Steve! This picture is actually from the website but it's what I'm trying to create. All four are hung in my kitchen, but my green leaf was looking faded so I got some bright spring ones. Hopefully soon mine will look as good as these. Check out his website, it's really cool!

Clean!

I have to mention how awesome my Steven is. So yesterday when I came home from work, my AMAZING husband had cleaned our house! Even though he has finals to study for this week and he works everyday, I came home to find that he had picked up all our stuff that had been lying around, vacuumed upstairs and downstairs, cleared off our computer desk hidden under papers and books, dusted, did the dishes, a load of laundry, AND made the bed. (It made me feel really lazy that I slacked off and hadn't done anything!) But I was so grateful, and it was SO sweet. I love you Steve! Thanks for everything you do for me.
p.s. I'll take care of the bathrooms :)

happy you and me day

My Steven, today is our 1st anniversary, our own special day. 1 year went by so fast, but I am so lucky I got to spend it with you. I never thought we would be THIS happy, but I am. I love you so much, happy you and me day.

Memories of our wedding day...
