YES Jake and I just bought a scooter!! We've been thinking of buying one for a while and Jake found a really good deal online, so we bought it yesterday! Jake's like a little boy, it's hilarious. We went to pick it up in American Fork and the rain started pouring down. Jake of course couldn't wait til the next day, so we waited a little while at the people's house and he drove it back to Provo. I drove behind him...I couldn't help but just laugh. ha I could tell he was freezing (I know, sad...but it was quite funny) cause it was still coming down a little. Jake's planning on riding it to work and school so we can save some gas money. If you know Jake though...we'll see how long he lasts when it rains and snows. ha Jake is one happy boy, so it's a lot of fun!

Creative Play-Dough Day


Today we played with play-dough and WOW was I impressed with little Kate! She is one creative girl, she truly get's it from her mother. Jane and I made some too as you can see on the left, but I am far from creative! It's kinda sad that a 7 year old did better than me, but I can live with that because I love her.

More SWIMMING!

We love 7-PEAKS!! They are so funny

Craft Project




We went to Michael's and found something for Kate's toys. She painted a box, which is a school for her littlest pet shops. She did so GREAT!

Crafts!


I'm updating the blog so here are some pictures of some of the craft projects we've done so far.
The first picture is when we had to run to BYU Wilkinson Center to get something and they have this room where they do service projects. I used to walk by it like everyday, but I had never gone in...I know I'm horrible! Kate saw in the window some puppets and asked if we could make them. So we just went in and the lady was nice enough to let us make some puppets for the less fortunate children. Kinda funny actually...but it was really fun for them. Kate's very creative as you can see.






Of course after this we had to go home and make our own and put on a PUPPET SHOW!

Life with KATE and JANE


So I would have to say I have the best job in the world! Jake's sister, Jessica and her husband moved to Provo to open up a new furniture store. They're so busy with remodeling the building, ordering furniture, and everything else, they asked me to watch their two little girls during the day. Kate is seven and Jane is three. Of course Jane rules everything, she is the sweetest girl, but I would not want to be on her bad side :) She's got some ATTITUDE! They can be quite a handful at times, but I can't complain because we just play all day. It's easy to babysit kids you already love so much. I try and think of things to do to keep them entertained so we've had some fun times. Kate is very creative and loves to do crafts so we try to do as many as we can. We also got a season pass to 7-Peaks so we have a blast there. The first time was really scary though, trying to keep track of 2 girls..in water..with hundreds of people around. But we love the water! I'll be posting pictures, don't worry so everyone can see how lucky I am.

Our Honeymoon Cruise!



We had such a blast on our cruise. We left May 4th with a red eye flight...ya let me just say it was so great! :) I would have to say that was the hardest part of the whole trip, but we made it there and it was fine. Right when we got on the ship we went to our room and fell asleep for like 4 hours. We woke up around 8 o'clock, it was so funny. So we went and found some food and walked around the ship...oh my gosh the ship was amazing!! We found out that that it's the largest ship in the world, it had everything you could possibly think of. The surfing simulator was the most fun, we surfed and body boarded it was a blast. There was mini golf, a climbing wall, full basketball court, lot's of pools and hot tubs, and of course MY favorite of all... all you could eat fruit and ice cream! We had such a great time, we went to San Juan Puerto Rico, St.Thomas, and St.Martin. We tried to rent a scooter in the other islands, but everytime they were all rented or other problems, but we finally rented a scooter in St.Martin, aw it was such a beautiful island. It was so neat to ride around and see how the people live and their amazing homes. We stopped and swam in the Carribean, it was amazing! We of course didn't really buy anything because now we're POOR newly-weds! I would tell anyone to go on a cruise for their honeymoon though, it was PERFECT!

WE'RE MARRIED...finally!!


Yes Jake and I are finally married...it only took us about 7 years for us to figure it out but we couldn't be happier! I married the person I've loved for a long time and I couldn't have asked for a better husband . We were married April 29th and it was a perfect day. We were married at 11 am in the Salt Lake temple and had a nice luncheon at the Memorial House in the Memorial Grove Park. It was such a great day with many friends and family all there to support us on our special day. We are so blessed with such an amazing family with all their love and support. The pictures will definitely show the perfect day more than I could say...
