Memorial Day Weekend
This weekend we had the oppertunity to go to Las Vegas to chill with the Leavitts! We feel so blessed to live in driving distance of both families. Some of our activities included
-Dixon and Wade competing in a corporate volleyball challenge. They played great, and I had so much fun watching Dixon play, he played all throughout highschool, and this is the first time I have ever seen him on the court, so fun!
-Jessica took me to Bikram Yoga. For those of you who don't know what that is, let me explain. It's 90 minutes of yoga in a 104 degree room. I have never sweat so hard in my life. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but such a blast!
-Me and Hannah went and saw the new Night at the Museum while the boys went golfing, it was a fun movie
-We got great tans from sittin by the pool, listening to Jack Johnson, and reading good books
-We were tempted to get a new puppy when we saw this cute white maltese in the pet store, we even decided what we would name her: Tyra.
-I got to get some new running shoes because my old ones are so worn out and were giving me problems
- Dixon got some cute new shorts
-We ate some yummy yummy food!
I love visiting family, I wish we could visit with family more often! We had such a fun time!:)

New Job
I am employed!!! I get to be an in store banker at US bank starting on Monday, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I did the impossible: got a job in this horrible economy! My boss seems amazing...big improvement from my old job, and the bank is inside Smith's so I will have some great people watching oppertunities! Mosly though, I am excited to have something to get me out of this house and people to talk to... poor Dixon has to just let me vent everyday because I have noone else to talk to. I feel so blessed to have this oppertunity. I will work 40 hours a week and they are going to work around my school! I'm kind of anxious and really nervous to be the "new kid" but hopefully I will fit in ok and things will go well! YAY
P.S. I have the best husband, he went and got me cute work clothes since I get to dress up everyday.. he is the best

Our trip North
This is Lezlie-Anne IVIE... we were so glad we could make it to her and Russ's wedding in the Logan temple on Friday. Her dress was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, and we were so grateful to be a part of their special day!
While up in Logan, we stopped by to see my Aunt Stephanie and her kids: Kortney, Mason, and Mallory. Mason and Mallory are twins... the twin thing runs in the family:) It was so good to see them, Dixon kicked the kids' butt at air hockey, and we got yummy cookies to celebrate! SO fun
My grandma and grandpa Silcox were at my aunt's house so we got to see them too! We haven't seen them since Christmas time, so it was good to visit with them!
This is half of the anderson family. Lyn, Ken, and Dad were somewhere else, and Dixon is taking the pic! Notice my mom's cute shirt. I helped her pick it out... us girls went on a shopping spree while the boys went golfing! Look how tall Landon is!!
This weekend we finally got our wedding video!! It was so fun to watch, I had forgotten about some things! Our friend Ryan did a good job. Since our one year anniversary is approaching quickly, we thawed our cake out from our wedding and had a slice! Surprisingly, our cake tasted so good... so so good!!
We had such a great weekend! We got to go out to dinner with my parents and Ky to some fab. Chinese food (there was enough food to feed us for a week!), we got to go see Angels and Demons with the parents and Ky... I LOVED it, we got to get some jamba juices (good thing we don't have one in Cedar, I would spend all our money there), we got to go to the park with Landon and Syd, I got a good 5 mile jog in, Lyla got to play with her two friends, and we had many laughs and good memories made! Thank you family, we had a wonderful weekend!!

Happy Mothers' Day
I love mothers day, because we get to celebrate our wonderful mothers! I am so grateful for my mom:
-put up with so much
-have sacrificed so much so that we can have oppertunities
-for never want to be in the spotlight even though they are our heros,
-for being a maid so hard to keep things clean...only to have a child mess things up in seconds,
-for being a cheuffeur in our non-driving days
- for being our tutors as they helped us with our school work,
-for being counselors by listening and giving advice,
-for being a pro chef and cooking us yummy dinners that we sometimes stuck our noses up to,
-for being cheerleaders and supporting us in all our activities,
-for being a laundry maid and keeping our clothes fresh and clean,
-for being our Kleenex's and wiping our tears away
-for being our doctors and kissing our "owies" all better
-for being an artist and teaching us to finger paint
-for being an actress while reading us our favorite stories
-for putting the "B" in the "BFF".
I am so grateful to have a mom who has done all these things and more for me, as well as having a mother in law that did all these things for my husband. I feel so blessed to have these two women in my life, they are truly inspiring and I love them immensely! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Mom and Carolyn!
Here's some cute thoughts that I wanted to share:
1. My mom taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE - 'If you're going to kill each other, do it outside - I just finished cleaning!'
2. My mother taught me RELIGION - 'You better pray that will come out of the carpet.'
3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL - 'If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!'
4. My mother taught me LOGIC - 'Because I said so, that's why.'
5. My mother taught me FORESIGHT - 'Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident.'
6. My mother taught me IRONY - 'Keep laughing and I'll *give* you something to cry out.'
7. My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS - 'Shut your mouth and eat your supper!'
8. My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM - 'Will you *look* at the dirt on the back of your neck!'
9. My mother taught me about STAMINA - 'You'll sit there 'til all that spinach is finished.'
10. My mother taught me about WEATHER - 'It looks as if a tornado swept through your room.'
11. My mother taught me how to solve PHYSICS PROBLEMS - 'If I yelled because I saw a meteor coming toward you; would you listen then?'
12. My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY - 'If I've told you once, I've told you a million times - don't exaggerate!!!'
13. My mother taught me THE CIRCLE OF LIFE - 'I brought you into this world, and I can take you out.'
14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION - Stop acting like your father!'
15. My mother taught me about ENVY - 'There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do!'

Weekend Adventure
This is a terrible picture, but I promise Ky is walking across the stage to receive her diploma in this picture, just trust me.
The oldest siblings and proud parents!:) It's always so fun when the four of us are together
Me and my amazing Mom! She is hillarious, and I just love her love of life!
Me...the proud sister that cheered so loud when Ky was walkin across the stage.
This is me on the steps of the Manti temple. I wish I could have done a session there. It is gorgeous, especially at night! 
Sorry the picture is dark. This is me and Ky in front of the Manti temple.
Me and my great-grandma Bird. I got to stop and see her on the way to Ephraim. I can not say enough good things about this woman. She is amazing. She made me homeade chicken noodle soup...heaven on earth, she taught me how to crochet, and she shared many stories of her childhood and all the changes she has seen in her lifetime! Such a wonderful person!Ky graduated!!! I'm so proud of her and all of her hard work! I had the oppertunity to go to Ephraim for her graduation and cheer her on! It was amazing, so many people came up to my parents and I to tell us how wonderful Kylee is... it's not surprising by any means, but it just touched me to know that everyone else found her as amazing as I find her everyday. I am so blessed to have such a great example in my life, Ky is the most optimistic, forgiving, tender-hearted person I have ever known. I am so proud of her accomplishments, and I had such a fun time spending time with her! Congratulations Ky, We sure love you!!
