Missin my Mackedy Mack n Cheese :(

The time has already come for work to slow down at Taurus.

So, unforunately, we've come to the point where we

just have to be grateful to have work.

So Kenzie has been sent to work on the job in Blanding
with my dad.

This is his second week being gone.

I miss him so much.

I am being such a baby, but I didn't realize how much I

enjoyed his company until now that he's gone!

As I was being a blog stalker today, I saw this little

survey thing on Jennie's blog,

and it reminded me of Mack so much

so I decided to do it.

Favorite couple moment?
August 7, 2009- Manti Temple!

Lincoln :]

Yesterday while I was work, Tawni's water broke!!

So right when I got off

mom and I headed out to Tooele to meet baby

Lincoln.

We got there about an hour

before she had him,

and Pug let me be there when she had him!

It was amazing.

I am not scared at all now for

when (and IF lol) I ever have a baby.

I am so thankful to Pug for letting me

share that moment with them.

It was awesome, and I know

Lincoln will always be really special to me

since I got to watch him be born.

Demolition Derby !!!

Saturday night, after the wedding,

we went to the derby with Jordan and Teish.

We took Hemi..

We wondered if the noise wound bother her,

but it didn't even phase her!!

The derby was good and it was a fun night!

TD and Teasha's Wedding ♥

This last weekend was our good friends TD and Teasha's wedding!!

It was awesome!

They got married in the same room at the temple as us,

and they had the same sealer as us... Brother Slack!!

It was so amazing to sit with Kenzie and Russ behind our

friends and watch them get married in the temple..

I am so proud that almost all of our friends are either

getting married in the temple or out on their missions.

Teash looked so pretty,

and it was such a nice day with our friends.

FiRsT AnNiVerSaRy ♥

Well, we made it through the first year of marriage!!
It has been the funnest, busiest, most stressful, most exciting,
hardest, best year of my life!!!!
I can't imagine having shared this year with
anyone but Mack n Cheese :)

He has been so awesome to me,
and I feel so lucky to have found him.
We wanted to do something special for our first anniversary,
so we booked a weekend at Snowbird.

We went up Friday after work, and stayed the night at our sister's

house, playing with our nieces, and looking forward to a
fun weekend at the resort.

However.. hahaha.. I forgot to take the card we
payed with and they wouldn't let us check in
without it!
So rather than driving all the way home to get it,
we ended up getting our money refunded to us
and going camping,

which we haven't done nearly enough this year!
It ended up being perfect because we were missing

our puppy anyway,

so we were actually happy to come home,

get Hemi, and spend a nice,

quiet night in the mountains :)

♥ New Puppy ♥

We have a baby!!

Hahaha, I went and did a home health the other day

and I saw this toy puppy on the ground outside...

then all the sudden...

it moved!!

Haha it wasn't a toy at all.

The second I saw her I had to have her!

Mack couldn't talk me into naming her Cummins,

but I did feel like Hemi at least sounded like a girl name :)

So Hemi it is!

She is smaller than my purse.

She is the cutest thing ever!

♥

- UTE STAMPEDE 2010 -

Stampede week is easily my favorite week of the summer!

I look forward to it all year,

and I am sad as soon as it's over!
This year we did a booth and sold hair bows,

watch bands, vinyls, and flip flops..

It was busy

but it was FUN!

We also went to the rodeo

all three nights.

It was as fun as ever!!!

I didn't get as many pictures as I'd like,

but here are a few!!

Nieces ♥

We have the cutest nieces ever!!!!

Bentleigh, Luhndyn, Cadence, and Jaelyn

♥

A couple weeks ago

we had Bentleigh stay at our house for a couple nights

to give her a little break from being the big sister.

We had so much fun !!!

Ever since Bent saw us walk out of the temple at our wedding,

she thought I was a princess

and the temple was the castle :)

So when she came over,

I let her put on the "princess dress"

I guess we wore her out
- LOL -

Love you lots Bent!!!

FaMiLy ♥

Before I post the latest pics of us,

I wanted to do a short post and put up

some pics of the people who love us the most.
At the end of the day, it is obvious who is most important

in our lives, and who we know will always be

there for us no matter what..

♥

We both have some amazing parents.
There have been countless times in the last year

where they have dropped everything to make

sure we had what we needed.

We have been surprised by boxes of groceries,

money,

new Mt. Dew mugs,

pretty much anything you can imagine...

all because our parents knew we needed something,

or just saw something that reminded

them of us and got it.

We are so lucky to have

such caring parents who take such good care of us,

even now that we are on our own.

We can only hope that one day we will be
half the parents they are to us!!

We are also both lucky to have some

awesome younger siblings.

Makayla is the cutest little girl you will ever see.

One day she decided she wanted to rodeo.
She has practiced riding everyday

since then, and she kicks butt.

She smokes everyone her age.

I am so amazed by her dedication.

The second I met Dallen I knew he was a special person.

I could also see how much my husband loved him the instant

I saw them together.

Dallen has such a strong spirit, and I feel so

lucky

to be his big sister in law.

Our family would not be the same without Dall.

Next up is my little bro Zack.

We call him Wacky :)

Even though he was the littlest kid in the school

growing up...

he would threaten anyone's life

who was mean to me at school.

He has always been fearless

and has never let anything in the world

get to him.

He is so full of life

and so passionate.

I love him very much.

And last but definitely not least is Ty.
Ty and I have become very close in the last couple years.

Anyone who knows Tyler knows that he

is by far

the sweetest kid in the world.

He would never say a bad thing about anyone... ever.

He is a genuinely good person,

and I just love

hanging out with him.

He makes me want to be a better person,

and I am so proud of the person he is.

- ♥ -

So....

I think it goes without saying that

we have the best families ever.

We are very very lucky.

♥

CaTcHiN uP =]

Ok... SO.... I think I
am finally at a place in my life where
I can blog regularly :)

Haha, so I guess I
better catch up on the old

times!! Here are some of the
best pics of the first six months of our
marriage!! Starting with

the honeymoon and up until this
spring
