So the very end of January I went to Colorado to babysit my sister's lovely children for a week, while her and her hubby went to Costa Rica! lucky!! anyways HOLY COW! being a mom is a full time JOB! From waking up at 6:30 making breakfast, reading scriptures, sending them to school, hw, sports, dance, cleaning, scouts, birthday parties, fighting, laughing, all that good stuff..well we did have fun though..I am so grateful for that oppertunity I had to be with them. I did not capture a lot of pictures but here are a few that I got..
OH and I forgot to mention that we played laser tag like every night in the house! Talk about FUN! I told Taylor we need to invest in Laser guns and have wars!!! ahhh seriously it was very intense, we turned off all the lights and had our guns loaded, you never knew where exactly anyone was! I get chills remembering what a thrill I got from it!

How should I say this..........mmmmm...well I'M ENGAGED!!

So yesterday...(January 9,2010) I woke up and was pampered all day long! Patty made my morning! she made me breakfast then we went and got a massage at massage envy! ahhh felt so AMAZING! Then we got a smoothie while we got Manicures and pedicures!! I was feeling good...Little did I know what was coming that night! Taylor took me to the park we went to on our first date..it was the draper park..



he said we were meeting his dad there..(he lied) I walked up to the pavilion and there were flowers, chocolates, and I turned around and Tay had a blanket in his arms and handed it to me. I opened it up and said, "AH CUTE!" he said turn it around, so I did and the blanket said....




I was totally in shook! I moveD the blanket to see Taylor on one knee with a beautiful ring asking me to marry him! ahh precious..of course I said...YES and threw my arms around him...then FAP arrived with the camera and snapped a few shots. after the lovely suprise we went to dinner at Olive Garden with his family and mine! Ah it was such a lovely evening! After dinner we accompanied the Elzinga Clan to celebrate Dawnie's B-day! I LOVE FAMILY!! I'm so excited to be with Taylor for the rest of my life! we are getting married May 1, 2010! yay us!!:)

Dashboard confessional concert...and Lake point to see G. Cookie

Taylor and I at the concert





explaination for the picture above:
Benny dropped this girl's phone inside the air vent..so her phone was in the dashboard...ha we laughed (the girl didn't think it was that funny her phone was inside her dashboard and we couldn't get it out) oh we couldn't stop laughing..well I couldn't..ha her phone would go off and we could hear it inside her dashboard! oh it was great..Benny felt bad he dropped her phone down their so he offered to put his phone or ipod down her dashboard..she thought that was a stupid idea..but it was very nice of Bennny to offer. We also thought it was a coincidence that we were on our way to see the "DASHBOARD CONFESSIONALS" and we dropped her phone in the dashboard anyways maybe it was just one of those times you just have to be there...
Here is Benny trying to get it out..
