Halloween!

Hope everyone had a good Halloween! This is Chase and I in our winning costumes at the fire dept. party! we won the scariest which landed us 50 bucks! You can't beat that! We were people from the fifties if the Cold War had ended badly, Post apocalyptic he called it! Chase's amazing idea! I wasn't so sure about it at first with having to wear a gas mask but it ended up turning out pretty cool! here's some other fun costumes from the parties! and firefighter Mars!

Family Pictures

Here are a couple family pictures we just got! This is all I have right now, I'll have more later! My sister-in-law was our photographer, she does a great job! Go Megan!

Just Hangin Loose!

So we got back from Hawaii on Tuesday and it was amazing! I love that place, I could stay there forever! We went with our friends from the fire department and it was fun cause my sister was there because she is dating Jake! We were over in Oahu and did all the fun stuff that there is to do! We ate amazing yummy food too, amazing sushi...the best I have ever had, yummy fresh pineapple and dole whips at the pineapple plantation (Kevin's favorite) Yummy shaved ice... I think we had like twenty of those! Ever eaten and the shrimp trucks? So divine, and gives you such stinky burps, but so divine! The craziest thing we did was went swimming with sharks...so crazy but so worth it! We did a bunch of snorkeling and the boys took on some surfing! We saw some cool sea turtles right up on shore while we were jumping the big waves. We hung out at the beach allot (and the boys surprised us with their various speedos and such while running to the water, funny, crazy boys!) ...especially sunset beach. It was gorgeousand had the best sand ever! We also went on this cool jeep tour and saw where some films were made and our tour guide picked some fruit from the jungle and we got to eat some guava and jungle apples and it was so good and so cool! We went to Pearl Harbor... so sad but really neat! We went to a luau and Jake and Kevin learned to Hula! Hilarious! We went and saw the temple and it is being renovated and they will be re-dedicating in next July. Perfect excuse to go back next year, right? We also went and saw a couple fire stations, one was right on the beach over looking it, maybe chase should try and get a job in Hawaii! All their trucks had surfboards on them which was pretty cool! All in all it was a blast and a well needed vacation! I know there are tons of pictures, but I couldn't resist, it's like I'm reliving it!

Summer Fun!

Well once again i have waited a long time to update you all! We have just been doing a lot of summer stuff that you do! This year I got to go to girls camp, I'm second councilor in the young women's so that means time to go to camp! It was fun and we have a really good bunch of girls in our ward! Chase and I had our anniversary! It was number 4.... crazy! Time goes so quickly, it is weird to look back and see all we have gone through in our first four years of marriage! We always watch our wedding video on our anniversary and it is funny to see how people have changed in just four years and brings back all the fun memories of that day! I love Chase alot, and I'm pretty sure he knows that all to well cause I tell him, what he probably thinks, is a million times a day! I cant help it! This is my favorite picture of him on our honeymoon, he is delicious!Love ya babe! Anyways enough of the mush! NEXT... We went to St. George. It is a tradition. We do it every year with some of my dads side of the fam and we go see the plays at Tuachan! We saw Footloose this year and it was really good, I think Chase was even able to handle it a tiny little bit (not his favorite thing to do) he is a trooper, he knows I love doing this! During intermission they had bull riding on stage and Cecily went up to do it, she did pretty dang good, you may see her in the rodeo next year! I wanted to put the video up of her to show you all but it is taking way to long so sorry!
The Fourth was alot of fun we had two BBQ's one at Chase's aunts with his fam and then I had one at my house with my fam! I was pretty much stuffed! Then we headed on over to the Jr. High to watch the fireworks that the fire department was setting off! Chase said that no firework you set off on the Fourth of July will ever compare to this show of fireworks he got to set off! It was a great show! =" Then something really funny happened! Chase and I won the beautification award for our yard this past month! hahahahaha. We didn't really understand why cause there are so many other pretty yards the earned it more than us, we just planted new shrubs and trees this year so it is all really little but my flowers look pretty. Oh well I guess it is pretty cool! This is not a good picture, you cant see the whole yard and me and Chase were so not ready for the shot!
