Oh marriage...

My friend that I grew up with got married last Thurs. I had the opportunity to go see her get sealed in the temple which was so neat! The temple is just truly amazing and the spirit there was incredible! Yay for love:)

The sun was so bright that day that It was hard to keep our eyes open...




Mindi and Tua~




I was to busy chatting with people so I didn't take very many pics of the reception..but It was so beautiful, and the food was really good. Here are the two pics I got..


CONGRATS Mindi and Tua!

Oh you desert ...

Taylor and I had the great privilege of going to Colorado to visit my FABULOUS, FUN, DARLING, SMART, INSPIRATIONAL SISTER and her family that I absolutely adore.
We did the following....

We went hiking..Just Jen, Taylor and I...
( I didn't get many pics of the hike but there are plenty of pics in this post.)
~We found this really cool building on the way and so I documented it...


Tay and I went down to the Garden of the Gods which was a really neat sight...




Colorado is not Utah...because Halloween was on Sunday and everyone else went trick or treating on Sunday, we had a party on Saturday in my sister's back yard with a lot of their friends.





Kate was an Egyptian Princes. When she came down to show her costume to us, Taylor and I said, "kate you look so CUTE" she replied back, "I bet sooo many people will tell me that tonight." oh Laugh Out Loud! Taylor said, we probably should stop telling her how cute she is.


~On Sunday the grown ups all went to different rooms of the house and the kids came around to each of the rooms to trick or treat. The kids had to do tricks to get there treats. It was so a joyous time watching them do tricks and tell jokes.

Good job Matthew you earned your treat and a pat from mom:)

Here are also a few random pics I took from the trip...

Thank You Hyrum and Janie for the fun Memories!

Oh Grace...

Today I would like to talk about a person that has been on my mind a lot lately. A person who I think we could all strive to be like. This person is ALWAYS reliable. Call and ask of a favor or a listening ear; an ear that you know if you don't want any other ear to hear you are safe with this one ear only to hear.

This person has had more than a load of trials in their life from a young age to now and still sees her life on this earth as beautiful. Their are so many people that go through trials and think LIFE SUCKS..or why is God allowing this to happen to me!?..whaaa. Thick and thin this person turns to the gospel, God, and faith to get through the hard times, knowing it is all worth it especially in the end. This person finds an optimistic view on life and how things could always be worse.

SERVICE, give,give,give,give,GIVE, GIVE!..I'm the mystery person and I like to give service EVERYDAY!..that may have sound smart-alec but really..this person is always willing to serve and help people.
RESPECT, their are so many people who do not respect themselves or others. This person has respect for self,family, friends and any other person that comes along in their life.

HONESTY, you want to know the truth, the HONEST truth and nothing but the TRUTH..well ask this person and you know that nothing being told to you is a lie. (Unless they are trying to pay for everything EVERY WHERE you go and they act like they have all the money in the world to pay for a dinner for a whole army.)

More personally this person has loved me like a mother that I long for every day and fills that gap in my life. Daughter, mother, best friend, outstanding employ, an example to many.....most important of all...My FAVORITE Aunt Patty~ LOVE YOU.

I can finally breathe and blog

At last! I have had NO time to blog lately school is consuming me I really have no spare time anymore.

Last weekend, early Sunday morning I woke up and felt a strong urge to hold a baby. I leaned over to Tay and told him, "I want a baby", he replied, "You are just tired, go back to sleep." I fell back asleep about an hour later a awoke again and still felt a strong urged to hold a BABY. I thought in my head, "Heavenly Father, come on help this urge go away or send a baby my way." Ten min. later still thinking about babies, Taylor came in and said, "CC! get up we are going to the hospital, Daneen (My sister in law) is going to have her baby. YES prayers are so answered! Obviously I can not have my own baby for three years, (have to finish school!) so what a pleasure it is when people around me share their bundles of joy!

Daneen made brith-giving seem so easy. She only had to push two times and the baby was out. (Epidurals seem to make it a lot nicer.)
Here she is..

Baby Kylee


AT last I got to fulfill my urge to hold a baby! I loved holding her I felt like I was holding a little doll.

Precious Picture of Tay and his brother and sister holding the baby.

Little Ryan is now a big brother!

"There is a trail on the top"

Last Saturday we went on a very beautiful, scenic, 3 mile hike with Tay's Family. I really enjoyed it, it felt so good to be outside on a beautiful day! To make it better I was surrounded by people I love - Tay's family they are so funny!! Well we arrived at the end to this incredible waterfall~

Molly and I~


After admiring the amazing view Molly and I started to follow Jed (Tay's Brother) and Sammy (Ezra's Girlfriend)up this mountain. Well that was the beginning of a new adventure. We started climbing and following after Jed (Honestly I don't know what I was thinking..really)He kept telling us there is a trail......okay well THERE WAS NEVER A TRAIL..yeah I truly thought I just might die this day. Taylor saw me hiking up this ridiculous mountain and I looked down at him, he shook his head saying; "what are YOU DOING!"..well my husband hurried to catch up to us so he could help us, which thank goodness he did! PROBLEM: (besides the fact any wrong move and we could fall to our death!!!)We just could not turn around because it was just too steep of a mountain so we just had to keep going and going till we got to the top to cross the waterfall and then we could start coming down the other side..the whole time not knowing what was ahead.
At one point as we were hiking up I said, "Please Heavenly Father don't let me die, I still want to have BABIES!"

END RESULTS: I"M ALIVE and so is TAY! ~

This incident makes me laugh, I don't think I will ever believe Jed again when he says, "there is a trail just keep coming". Needless to say I am proud of myself for making it!

Here is the mountain we climbed..If you look really hard you can see me on the mountain with my blue hat..and Jed waiting for me..

"You say Goodbye When I say Hello".....

I sold my Saab.

I really did like that car it was good to me for a year. I started have problems with the car and for how many miles it has on it we just did not want to dump a lot of money into so we sold while it was worth something. We sold it fast to, I was surprised how fast we sold it; after 1 1/2 week of being on KSL and we sold it.

after saying goodbye to my Saab we then said...HELLOOOOO.....to the 2006 Nissan Altima....

Just because I love you..

Tay did so great last semester with school and if he keeps up the good work he will beadle to get a scholarship to BYU. Well school starts tomorrow for us so I wanted to do something to celebrate. Well after thinking..and thinking..I came up with a little one night get away for us. Neither one of us have stayed in a bed and breakfast place. So after searching for days I was able to come up with this place for us to stay at called the Castle Creek Inn.

Friday evening~9/10/10~ After eating at our favorite place..Zupas I blind folded him so he wouldn't know where we were going. I then got lost trying to find the place I turned around about 5 times....stupid map quest lead me astray. I ended up asking three different random people on the street. Tay was just so confused, he thought I was taking him to the Utah state fair ha! Little did he know we were going to be staying in the Kings Loft..the best room they had (or at least the most expensive room they had). Well we finally made it there...and ya..that's about all there is to tell.







WE had a wonderful time, I love being with Tay! I honestly can not get enough of him. I still have not reached that point (that everyone says comes..just down the road) where I just can't not stand him. Well this has not happened yet and hopeful I never reach that point.

ha our morning faces..we just got out of bed we had to hurry so we could get breakfast before it closed...but no worries we made it. (I wasn't going to mention this but note to myself that breakfast was so gross..heart shaped waffles; yeah so nasty tasted like frozen eggo waffles. Tay and I love homemade food so we were a little disappointed in the breakfast but no worries that did not put a sour time on the memory. I just know that next time..well there just won't be a next time at the place.)
