One month

I have the best husband! Our one month aniversary was on Saturday, and he brought me home orange gerbera daisies... my favorite! I love you Dixon!

Our fun weekend

This weekend was so much fun... we had FAMILY come visit!! I love family, and I feel like I haven't seen family in so long(other than Dixon, I get to see him every day... its my favorite)! Carolyn, Chase, and Hannah came up on Friday night and played with us all day Saturday. We had a yummy breakfast (compliments of Dixon... he is a really really good cook), we went to Get Smart, we played Rock Band, we checked out the Groove Fest, and we went four wheelin... not to mention what we do best: hang out! Hannah even watched Full House with me... I was in heaven, its not often that I can get people to watch Full House with me... it was me and Ky's favorite! Good times, Good times!!! We love you guys!

I don't know how to write right under the pictures, so I'll add some comments here: Notice that I really really love Hannah and Chase because I put their Rock Band picture on there twice and I can't remove it! I love the one of Dixon sitting on Hannah and Lyla sittin on Dixon... that's Lyla's favorite spot: right on Dixon's shoulder... thats my favorite spot too, so me and Lyla fight sometimes! O ps, find the picture that has me in it... its like playing where's Waldo:) hehehe

Dont you get goosebumps watching this?

I know I posted this in my personal blog already, but it was that good.



If you dont get the chills watching this dance, you have no heart.

Happy Birthday Siddle Sue

My little Syd is seven years old as of last week! For those of you who don't know, Syd is my bud. We just have a special connection... she can always sense when I'm sad or discouraged and gives me a kiss on the cheek for encouragement. She has a paper with my phone number and address on it that she keeps by her bed so she can call or write me any time, and each time she see's me or calls me the first thing she says is.. "SHAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!" I learn so much from her. About two weeks before me and Dixon got married, I was tuckin her in and she wanted me to lay with her, so I did and as I was layin there, she started crying because "I'll still get to see you, but I won't get to see you that often!" She has such a tender heart, and is always thinking of other people! One night two years ago I was tuckin her in and she looks at me and says "Shaylee, I am a child of a loving Heavenly Father, and he loves you too!" She always asked for me to tuck her in from the time she was little. We love to go get ice cream together and rent a movie of her choice! She is a burst of sunshine, and she is always helpin me put things into perspective! I think my favorite memory with Syd is when we were sittin at the dinner table and my brother says "Mom, this butter tastes funny," and Lyndee says, "Its because mom bought light butter," and Syd tops it off and says "Ya, we don't like butter light, we like butter dark!" Hahahaha good times! Happy Late Birthday Syd, I love you!

Time Line

Twenty Years ago....
I wasn't even born yet

Ten Years ago...
I was eight years old in Mrs. Hodges and Mrs. Glouser's third grade. I would spend my days singing Celine's song on Titanic (I knew all three verses), playing with my two best friends Lauren Gines and Rachel Ruckert... and Kylee of course, and raising monarch butterflies from the time they were little caterpillars. I also got to have sleepovers when I turned eight... I was living on the edge.

Five years ag0...
I was in the eighth grade and had the biggest crush on this kid named Will in my math class. This was the year that I finally learned how to do makeup, and discovered my favorite movie: The Wedding Planner.

One year ago...
I had just graduated High School and was so excited about it... for some people, Highschool was made for them, but I don't think it was made for me. I had the dream job of lifeguarding and teaching swimming lessons all day so I was a blonde bombshell with a killer tan! And once a week, me and my six year old sister Syd would go out for ice cream.

So Far this Year...
I have made it through one year of college, and I loved it. Survived six roommates who I love dearly, but are out of this world crazy some days. I got married to the love of my life... and he is an absolute stud! I survived two sinus infections, two ear infections, supposedly internal bleeding (those stupid doctors thought thats what I had) it turned out to be anemia, and we have a dog that keeps us on our toes!

Yesterday...
I successfully moved the remaining pile of gifts to a closet and decorated the guest room... it looks so cute! And then I almost killed my computer at the lab... I spent four hours doing one assignment. I picked up plain yogurt, not vanilla yogurt like I was supposed to, we took cookies over to our cute neighbors whos names are Jamie Lynn and Jason and their little boy Alan, enjoyed a really yummy taco dinner, had family night, and watched Apollo 13 with my sweet husband

This Year...
I will finish my associates at SUU!

Dixon wins

This weekend was a lot of fun! Thursday, Dixon and I went bowling... (notice that Dixon is the one with the orange ball and I am the one with the red ball... I guess our favorite colors changed for the night) I'm sad to report that Dixon won, I scored a mere 91 points which isn't bad for me (once I went on a date and scored 31) so its a good score for me people! After, we had an air hockey duel, Dixon beat me at this also, but don't be fooled, I was winning for the first half of the game, and then we spent the rest of our quaters on basketball... I won at this (because I had four hands... including Dixon's two!). So fun, So fun! On Friday we went and saw get smart, and I totally wanted to take a picture in front of the theater, but I chickened out! It was a great show, the humor wasn't all that dirty, and I love Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. Then came Saturday, and if you want to hear about saturday look at Dixon's blog below called: At the Grind with Mason's Jar of Jam! So in conclusion, we are having a lot of fun as newly weds, life is good! Did I mention that my sweet husband brought me home flowers from work on Thursday... I am one lucky girl!:)

wedding pics

Sorry it took me so long to get some of our amazing wedding pics up. For those of you who don't know, its no secret that I am computer illiterate! So, I'm slowly learning... slowly being the key word there! We both loved our photographer, Molly, from Lindsay Jane Photography, she did an awesome job!
