Festivities

Halloween and my and my sister's birthdays create an amazingly festive week in my family.

First, if you have not yet seen our amazing costumes, try and guess what we were for Halloween...
Kate was genius enough to think of having a hat themed "Hatty Birthday" party.
And I turned the ripe old age of a quarter century. Downhill slope to 30, here I come!

{got me some of these for my bday present
at the Bijou Market.. definitely going back
when they come around in January!}

Our recent trip to California a few weeks ago with Chris's brothers and their families was so fun! Thank you University of Utah for having a fall break! (and dang you byu for the last four years of no breaks whatsoever!) Here's some of our fave photos from the trip.

Disneyland during Halloween is the COOLEST.

Ally's amazing driving skills..

Lily and I excited for Nemo..

La Jolla, fancy seeing you here Matt!

San Diego State game..go cougs!

Carlsbad south beach, muy bonita.

Henry, being content in his super cute wagon.

Grant's sandcastle handiwork.

The brothas. (They would have been content to only boogie board the entire trip ;) Notice how Chris is the only one brave enough to sport the fantastically 80's wetsuit...oh yeah.

And there you have it. Yet another tribute to why I should live in California.

A QUARTER CENTURY!

It's Amy's Birthday today! Luckily it's on a Saturday, so it's going to be an all-day event. We're starting off with breakfast at Sundance and we'll see where we go from there (it's a secret).

If you follow this blog, you already know that Amy's the BEST! She makes me laugh every day. She never takes herself too seriously. She also works so hard to support me in my pursuits and to achieve our goals. I am so grateful to have her by my side ever day. I love her so much!

Let's give it up for Amy! Woo woo!!
