New Years Eve

On New Years Eve, Chad and I saw "Saving Mr. Banks". If you haven't seen it, you NEED to! It is a classic. After the movie, we hung out at my parents house with my nieces and nephews. We ate pizza, played games and did fireworks. My family sure knows how to party.









Later that night, some of our friends came over to our house and we played some games, ate treats, watched the Times Square countdown, and talked until we couldn't keep our eyes open. It was quite the night.

This year has been absolutely amazing, probably one of the best ones yet. It has been a year with lots of adventures, happiness and spontaneity.

These are some of my most memorable memories from this year:
* getting Bruno
* NYC
* visiting Brian & Nicole in Indiana
* road trips to Colorado
* building a dog house
* teaching Chad how to ride a motorcycle
* splurging on bikes and taking weekly bike rides up the canyon
* taking a golf class with my mom at UVU

This year is going to be pretty hard to beat, but I can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for us!

Office Baby Shower

I have been the receptionist for Dr. Myers for almost 2 1/2 years. It's crazy how fast time flies. I absolutely love my job. I especially love the girls I work with, it makes working more fun :)

One of my co-workers, Kailyn, is pregnant and is due in January. Kellie and I decided to throw her a baby shower. I did the invites and decorations, and Kellie made the food and hosted it at her home. It was so fun to be together outside of work and see each other in normal clothes (we are always in scrubs). I am so excited for Kailyn, she is going to be the cutest mom!

Kellie made a diaper cake. It had 150 diapers, such a cute idea!

These pom-poms are super easy to make. Take as many tissue papers as you would like, (the more there are, the bigger it will be), and fold them into a fan, like back in elementary school. Once it is all folded, tie a string around the middle of the tissue paper. Un-fold each tissue paper one at a time, until all the tissue paper is apart. And that's all there is to it, it's so easy!


Making invitations is so easy with my cameo! It is seriously one of the best presents I have ever gotten from Chad. It can cut paper, fabric and vinyl and can cut out any design you can think of. It's like a Cricket, but better because you can download fonts off the internet (my favorite is Pinterest) and you don't have to buy cartridges like a Cricket! It is such a versatile machine and can be used for so many different projects. ( I used it to cut out my banner and letters on the gift bags below).

Bruno's 1st Birthday

Yesterday was Bruno's 1st birthday! He is like our child, so we had to celebrate. We bought party hats and party horns and had our own little party. Bruno has the cutest little personality, he was so hyper and happy all day; it's like he knew it was his birthday. We love our little Bruno, he brings so much happiness into our lives. Happy Birthday Bruno!!

Girls Night

Ever since I got married to Chad, his nieces have been wanting to do a girls night with me. Since it was so hard planning around all 5 of our schedules, we never got around to it. Almost a year later, we finally did it. They came to our house, I ordered pizza, did their makeup and we watched movies. It was such a fun night with them. My goal in life is to be the favorite aunt. Hopefully this helped my status :)
