Halloween 2013

H A L L O W E E N

What's fall without pumpkin carving, sugar, and friends? We found a hidden talent of Eric’s; he’s quite the Caramel apple maker. We had a fun night carving pumpkins, making and eating caramel apples at our friends Megan and Trevor’s house and enjoying good company. Since Eric has become quite the fisherman, I decided that should be his costume and I would be his fish!  Plus I needed something warm cause it's freezing here and something I could wear to work :) I stole this from a kids costume I saw online and made it in my size cause I thought it was so funny 

Eric's apple looks professional (right) mine does not (left) nonetheless it tasted delicious

Our spooky cupcakes we made

I told Eric this is the best catch he'll ever get :)

Summer 2013

S U M M E R  &  L O T O J A

I hate not being by my family but love the time I get to spend with them! Dad took me out on a Spyder ride to go visit grandpa. Addi came and had a sleep over with me, sleeping with her and max in a full bed was not very enjoyable, they took up the whole thing! Jack went running with me and tried to kill me. We had a fire in the back yard and s’more for days. It’s these times that are the best.

Addi loves Auntie Jan

This is a normal picture for jack

Addi is great at making cakes :)

The reason for this fun trip to Utah was for Trevor's wedding! Congrats to him and Katie! It was so fun having the friends all in town for Trevor’s wedding. Love these guys so much! 

The girls

Most of the gang

My mom and Hannah flew back with me to Denver to help us move into our new apartment. It was so nice of them and we had a good time with them in town. We went to Wash Park and listened to the Sunday evening concerts. Ate some delicious food, got pedicures, and of course had Bonnie Brae ice cream. 

Leslie came to visit us in Denver and there was a professional bike race in town. It was so fun to watch and see these guys. Especially since LOTOJA was right around the corner for Eric. We also went and explored Boulder a bit. We love hanging out with Leslie we tried to get her to move here when she was visiting but no luck yet :)

When we went back to Utah for LOTOJA. This was the first time I have seen Eric race LOTOJA and it was a great time.

While we were in Utah Jack got his mission call to Santa Cruz, Bolivia! He leaves straight to the Peru MTC January 1^st. It was so fun watching him open his call and have his friends and cousins there. This little man is going to make an amazing missionary and I am so excited for him!

The best part about moving to Denver and summer time is the hiking. We were so excited to be back in the mountains and get to hike again! For our Anniversary we stayed in Vail for the weekend, can you believe it’s been 2 years? Feels like two months, time goes way to fast. Vail is so pretty and Eric found an amazing hike for us! We packed some lunch and ate at the most picturesque lake.

Being in Colorado we are Rockies fan I suppose. No we will never be Nuggets fans Eric says but we can be Rockies fans since Utah doesn’t have a professional baseball team, sound logic right? But we went to a couple games before the season ended. They were so fun! Next summer we'll be going to lots more I'm sure

Eric turned 28 this year! Happy Birthday to my favorite man in the whole world! So glad I get to have you for eternity! We celebrated with his favorite dessert, cheesecake.

We went down for a quick weekend trip to Austin. We even got to go to Austin City Limits. It was so hot, we forgot how hot Austin is, poor eric was dying and needed a little nap in the shade. But the music was good, people watching was great, and seeing friends made the trip fantastic!

This was a random and long post to try to catch up our life! As always life is a party!

XOXO

July 4th

J U L Y   4^Th

We headed up to Idaho for our July 4^th Idaho tradition. It’s so nice that we can actually drive home now! We got to spend some time up at the Heninger’s cabin in Island Park. We love the Hen house peeps. The kiddos took us fishing for minnows and swinging. These kids are so stinkin cute!

The parade and BBQ were fun as always. And the firework show was spectacular. I was a skeptic about Idaho when Eric and I were dating but it has really grown on me. I can’t imagine spending the 4^th anywhere but Idaho now.

Twins :)

Eric’s friend Taylor was in town and took us fly fishing. Eric got “hooked” :) we spent the day one the water, it was so pretty and fun! Thanks to Taylor he got Eric all set up with his own fishing gear so he can enjoy this new hobby.

Eric bought Dave’s bike so I inherited Eric’s old bike! I am so excited for the new adventures we get to have biking together!
