Landon's Graduation

I can't believe my little baby brother who isn't so little anymore GRADUATED. He graduated this last May from Hillcrest Highschool! It was so much fun being able to be there to watch...it was definitely a bitter sweet moment, but I am proud of him, and excited for the next steps coming up in his life. I love you Brother! Waita go! 

It was a great night minus the stinky wiggly people in front of us!

A Night Out

A night out with the Husband...never gets old...especially when it is summer time!! 

We walked from our apartment around the river and went and ate dinner at Chilis (Which I am always begging Imari to let us walk and he finally gave in). After dinner we stopped at a cute train that has been turned into a snow cone booth. We sat on a bench in front of the falls and ate our slushies, then walked back home! What a simple and perfect night.

Baseball Stop

First of all let me just say how much I love the summer! There is nothing I love more then being outside-no matter what the reason is, I just want to be outside in the warmth! Especially when I get to be outside with Imari! This last weekend We were with the In-laws having a Birthday BBQ for cute Koa and Coy! It was such a nice evening, and we had such a great time with the family! It was filled with Talking, Eating, Birthday cakes, Pinata, and more! As we were heading home we passed by the Chukars stadium and noticed that a High school baseball game was going on, so we decided to stop and watch the game! Luckily we happened to have some sun flower seeds and some treats already with us.  

Imari pretending to really get into the game haha! 

My Birthday-May 11th

I had such a great 26th Birthday, despite the fact that I really am not liking the sound of that number:) It started off in the morning that my work let me come in an hour later because I didn't have a patient first thing in the morning-therefore I was able to sleep in an extra hour, and spend some time with the hubby. After I got ready for work, Imari had breakfast made and ready for me. He had it sitting out on the table, along with flowers he got me and a lit candle. What a great way to start the morning! Work was good, I received so many nice texts from so many friends and family! The Dentist I work for got me a giant thing of bubbles and my favorite Cheetos! When I got home Imari had a stack of wrapped presents sitting there for me, and the lights turned low with candles again. He let me get changed and freshened up and then I opened my presents from him! He is such a sweetie, and got me some good things. My thr favorites- Tennis Racket, and a Kindle Fire, and a sweet card he wrote me with his debit card inside (Dinner was on him:) He then took me out to Dinner at Outback Stakehouse! Yum...I haven't been there in a long time. While we were eating our dinner, and after he kept saying so what do you want to do now, we can do whatever you want. And said that we will hang out with my family tomorrow night for my birthday. As happy as I was there was a little part of me that was sad to not be able to see my family on my Birthday-that hasn't ever happened before. So it felt pretty strange. So after dinner we went and parked our car over by the Pierr (Or so they call it). There is a nice path that walks across and over to this really cute park that the snake river runs through and has a bride going across it. This also is where our "Spot" is-so we call it. So our plan was to take a walk to our spot. It was such a pretty evening and is was so nice to be walking hand in hand with Imari. We stopped and took lots of pictures on our way.  As we got towards the end -as we were approaching the park walking I looked across over to the other side-it was a pretty far distance but I saw someone pointing at us. It sure looked a lot like my brother, and I said Imari is that Landon. Then all of a sudden I saw a bunch of people scrambling around trying to hide, and that is when I saw the rest of my family there too. Imari really had me going-he is a pretty good liar. So we made it across the bridge and around to the other side, and there was my family and some of Imari's family and a few close friends. It was such a great surprise. Imari also had an icecream cake for me, and everyone sang to me and we ate Cake and Icecream!

                              What a Perfect Birthday I had! Thanks Everyone! I am one lucky girl!

Loving Our Location

Every time we come and go to our apartment we get to drive past this beautiful place! The Idaho Falls temple is two blocks in front of our apartment! How lucky are we to live in walking distance, and to have such a beautiful front yard:)

It is so great to be able to run around the river, it is so pretty (This is behind the temple). I snapped a few pictures on one of my runs!

And this is our backyard! The Chukars Baseball Stadium is two blocks behind our apartment. We are definitely living very cheap right now, but couldn't be any happier! We have been very blessed with our beautiful surroundings, and having the opportunity in the beginning of our marriage to live off Love! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your never too old....

The first warm day of the summer started out great thanks to my sweet Husband! We went and donated plasma together and then after we were supposed to go horse back riding with my brother in law. I told Imari just to go because the last two times I went with him didn't go so well lol. But he somehow convinced me to go. Instead of heading in the direction he was supposed to be he went the opposite way and kept driving. He wouldn't tell me where he was taking me, but I soon realized it wasn't horse back riding. He drove around for about 10 minutes and then we ended up at the river out by our house. I was very confused....we got out and he told me he had a surprise for me in the trunk. This is what I found....

 

What a great surprise:) We have had so much fun with these Roller Blades. It's been a long time since I've roller bladed. We first started going and we came up on a big hill...Right before we started going down I realized that I couldn't remember how to brake, so I was trying to practice but I couldn't find it...luckily I didn't biff it. When we first started Imari said he knew I was going to fall...but I have yet to fall down. He fell hard the other day when he jumped trying to touch a tree branch...loser lol....It's funny the looks that we get from people, but it's great that we can be nerds together! I recommend roller blading to everyone who hasn't done it in a while. And don't worry...your never too old:) Thanks babe! 

Honeymoon Times Two

After our reception we left to head up to Island Park where we stayed in a cabin for 2 nights. On our way out we stopped at Walmart to get some groceries then we were off. It didn't snow that whole day, but started snowing hard during our reception. Luckily the roads weren't too bad, and it actually made it more adventurous/pretty driving through the snow. It was so beautiful up there, and we had such a nice and relaxing time. Thank you to the Nelsons for letting us use their cabin!

 

 

The following weekend we headed off to California for our open house.

Before our flight took off, all of the family met at the airport and Mekel opened his Mission Call. He is now serving in the Honolulu Hawaii mission. We are so proud of him. 

We had such a great open house at the Wichman's beautiful home. We are so grateful for everyone who helped make it possible! 

While we were there we went to DISNEYLAND!!!! 

Imari's Mom and cousin went in and rented us a condo that is right on the beach. It was so nice. We layed on the beach and relaxed!! It was such a gorgeous weekend!

And rode Beach Cruisers around. We had such a great time, but it went way too fast. We hope to go back soon:)
