photo overload!!!

We headed down the scenic drive - Flagstaff to Sedona - on Saturday. The further south we traveled the nicer weather we got! It was soo pretty. Everything was very very green and bright and sunny. It was a great day. On the drive down we were commenting on how we're actually getting out and seeing things now. Now that I don't have a job and am not working non stop I actually want to leave the house! Before I worked so many hours and was away from home so many nights and weekends that when I was home I wanted to stay home! In Phoenix I never wanted to go anywhere and see anything. Any time at home was such a treasured relief that poor Joe was never able to get me to leave :) Fast forward to now and I'm all about getting out and seeing what we can do in this town! Which isn't much, so outdoorsy stuff it is.

Picture overload about to come.....

First off my first mothers day flowers and my necklace that just came in the mail today - love it!!

hanging out in the baby k'tan

Slide Rock State Park

Slide Rock State Park - people were actually swimming! It wasn't that warm!

our next house!

his shirt says "Daddy's Little Caddy"

rad birthday present... tell me that doesn't look kick ass? It does, right!

Bug loves his swing.. and check out those socks!

Left over from the "epic" storm

It was so nice out Sunday! Sunny and warm - "warm" is relative we've decided. I used to freeze my tootsies off in 50 degrees but now 50 seems pretty darn nice! (although this doesn't mean we've decided to move back to MN :) Gilbert is the place to live... hint hint)

Blue skies, green Ponderosa pines, and white snow. Very pretty! I tried to get a some pics to show you how much snow we really got!

Our street (notice the garbage can and the snow higher than the can)

Our neighbors huge SUV in their driveway... taken for reference of how high the snow in their yard is

Me and Kody inbetween the huge piles of snow

Another one of our street

Kody and Joe walking - the snow was almost up to Joe's hip

And clearly way higher than Kody - even with her tail held high!

Kody is having a relationship with the squirrel that lives in the tree next door. She sits outside and watches this squirrel for hours at a time. See the squirrel in the tree on the left? It sits in the same spot and stares at Kody for just as long. Too funny!

What will Carter look like???

Have you seen that movie How To Loose A Guy In 10 Days? In that movie the girl takes her photo and a photo of the guy she just started dating and uses some technology to see what their babies would look like. So I googled what will our baby look like and here are the results


this one is creepy!






at least this one looks like a baby

1 year!

One year ago today we were married and had the most awesome wedding ever! From start to finish it was exactly what we envisioned when we pictured our wedding. If I could do it all over again I would and I wouldn't change a thing.

bare feet, in the ocean, and just married!

Then we went and "trashed the dress" Something so many people didn't understand at the time... but I think they do now.

I love this one - it's perfect. The two of us relaxed and looking out at our future.
