My Little Brothers Wedding!!!

Steven and Suany got married Saturday Dec. 18 in the Salt Lake Temple!! It was such a fun, busy, and cold weekend! Sorry this is a long post with lots of pics, but I had to document their day... (I took WAY too many pictures)! and they are a little out of order...

Their reception was one big party celebrating their marriage! My dad and I dancing! He has some pretty good moves.. He is a funny guy! I love my dad!

Mike and Dyami dancing the night away.. So glad they came:) (along with Ty's parents!)

This was June's kind of party! She would have danced all night if her parents let her. She even had a huge crowd clapping for her while she was in the middle dancing! She is so funny! We LOVE her!!

Cutting the cake!! Such a cute couple!

My mom made this cut out of Derek! He looks a little creepy but it's the only picture that actually worked.. I decided he needed to join the fun, so I danced with him!

My family!! I love them!

Sisters! Seriously I have the best!!! Don't know what I would do without them!

Ty was the best man! He was great at it:)!

The kids... minus Derek:( at the temple!

We had the dinner the night before and it was seriously awesome! The decorations were so cute! We had lots of fun!

Ty and I with Derek! This picture cracks us up cause Derek looks funny and Ty is even more funny! :)

My mom's birthday was on Friday so we took her to lunch and Cafe Rio... of course:) I have the best mom.. she does way too much for us kids:) Happy Birthday mom! I love you!

We have been so busy this month that I can't believe Christmas is THIS week! I am so excited and can't wait!!

NOVEMBER!!!

November was the best month!!:) I am sticking to my blog updates once a month! haha! We had so much fun playing and being with family and friends all month long! I love this time of year!

Black Friday SWAT team.. *ya we are dorks* I love BLACK FRIDAY! We scored this year! Stayed up all night (I think I am getting too old for that), good thing we had lots of Amp energy drinks, and treats:) We got everything plus more that we were looking for... We had a packed car.. It was the funniest night ever:) Don't mess with us! Aren't you jealous of my family! They are the COOLEST!

Starting the planning par-tay!! Cheers to us! (We get way too into this... But we are good... I even made a You tube video..... That I had no idea about till this year!!)

We spent Thanksgiving this year with my family! We ate with my dads family in SL then back to G-ma Barkers for dessert with my mom's family!

Happy Birthday Matt!! I love being with friends and acting like we are teens again.... Seriously the best night...:) Lazer Tag is my new favorite thing! Next time just not in boots, I was and easy target!

The group!

Riding the go carts.. Ty laughed the entire time it was so funny! He was loving it!

The girls!

Doesn't he look cute with a new hair cut:) I love it!!

Girls Trip!!!! We took a much needed quick trip to St. George and stayed in Ash's parents GORGEOUS home!! Here was the agenda.... Shop, shop, shop, eat, shop, paint our nails, eat, and shop!!! We had the BEST time.. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time! We had no plans and just did whatever whenever! It was a great getaway before some have BABIES!!:)

Pizza Factory in St George is WAY better than ours! Um the breadsticks were THE.BEST.THING.E.V.E.R!!!!!! We went twice just for me:) Love these girls!! Can't wait to do another one... But maybe bring Ty next time!!:)

O.C.T.O.B.E.R

Seriously where did October go?? It FLEW by! I can't believe its November already! I guess thats what happens when you are having fun! Ty has been SOOOOO busy with school and work, I NEVER see him..... Seriously I don't think I have ever been so bored in my life when he is gone. So I try to stay busy!! He is done in a month and a half and I can't wait. All his hard work will pay off. I think I could be just a little more excited for him to graduate then he is!:) But when he wasn't at school or work we did have lots of fun!

Ty surprised me and took me to Brad Paisley with our friends! It was a blast! Brad is SOOO good in concert!

Nat and I at the concert.. Is she not the cutest prego?!!

I LOVE the fall up the canyon.. It's so pretty and I love the colors. Sam and Nat invited us up to Sam's cabin for a night. The boys cooked us the best burgers ever! We played lots of games, cuddled by the fire, and watch Father of the Bride (classic!). The next morning we went fishing at Tibble Fork. Surprisingly I really liked fishing! We didn't catch anything but it was still just fun to be out.! Thanks Sam and Nat for such a fun weekend!

Girls night!

East Canyon again with the fam!! We LOVE playing games... and thats about all we did:)

My mom made this cut out of my brother on a mission so he could be involved too... She is really funny! So here is our picture with my brothers face haha!

We went to the most fun Halloween party at Katie's and Braydns! We were sent on a scavenger hunt in teams... it was so funny! I felt like I was in high school again... We loved it! We had to come back with a costume so we were ghosts! Ash's little girl is the CUTEST thing ever!

Ty's team won... and they deserved it for sure... They went all out. I couldn't even tell some of them apart! They looked good!

All the boys after bobbing for apples!!

Another girls night at Gardner Village! I love it there!

Halloween at work.. Missing a few but we had a fun day!

Ty had a work party too! I didn't really want to dress up.. But we are the people off Fever Pitch! (haha... easy!) Red Socks fans!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!! Now bring on November!!

HaWAiI!!

HAWAII!!!!

*warning.. OVERLOAD on the pics, and they are from the end of our trip to the beginning!*

Our last night in Hawaii with the group. Seriously we had way too much fun.. I never wanted to come home! We had some good laughs, with the crazy "local" in the hot tub, Ty's face when the HUGE waves at Sandy's Beach freaked him out, Lots of Mt Dew, Late night talking while half asleep, Elmo, guinea pigs, cats, and drummer on the strip in Wikiki, horrible waitress at Cha Cha Cha's, Lots of Yogurtland Coconut frozen yogurt, falling off the wall, Jumping out of planes, crazy drivers, playing in the waves, being with my hubby for a week straight, being with some of my favorite friends, and soooo much more! Can't wait to go back, and you better believe I am already planning our next trip! My boss told me that to keep happy you either need to be on vacation or planning your next! So thats what I do haha.. Luckily for me I don't have to do too much convincing with my husband. He likes trips ALMOST as much as me... Except when it comes to Disneyland... I am still working on that one! Any suggestions how to get your husband to take you there (I have been begging since the day we got married, I think!!)???

When I was younger I wanted to be a surfer girl haha... Blue Crush was my FAVORITE movie! But I have this fear of the ocean so that dream went away really fast! But I still like to watch the surfers and wish I could be one! This is our last day in Hawaii!

Look how cool this tree is!! It look even cooler in real life!!

Night at the beach!

I LOVE Cheeseburger in Paradise! We had to go there for me, so we had to take a picture!

Sunday we drove back the the North Shore and went to the temple! My cousin is going to school at BYU Hawaii and met up with us! It was so fun to see him:)

We hiked Mariners Ridge, and it was a hard hike! We were all huffing, and puffing, and sweating by the end.. It was a cloudy day so the view wasn't as cool as it could have been but it was still really pretty!! Once we got to the top it was really cold cause we were in a cloud!! But totally worth the hike.

Braydn's uncle lives in Hawaii and has the sweetest set up.. Lives on the ocean pretty much, has a boat, wave runner, pool, and hot tub! Ya, I am a little jealous... He let us take his toys out on the water, then fed us the BEST dinner, while hot tubbing!! We all felt like we were on the bachelor.. It was that awesome! We had a blast!! Thanks Katie and Braydn for hooking us up!!

Boating on the ocean.... I had to pee and I was a little scared to get in the water and go.. (sorry, maybe too much info) But I was brave!!! I was so scared a huge creature would creep up behind me! haha

Is this not so cute.. Ty loves our niece! He is going to be a great dad one day!!

Taking a break from walking around at the swap meet! We bought a coconut and did not like it!! Ugh I could not even drink it.! But it was a fun idea haha.

Lookout point.. It was so windy the higher we got. But a pretty view... You can whale watch from the lookout when its the right time of year.. We were a few months too early:(

Ty and Bray trying to climb a tree with this branch.. I love Ty's face!

Monoa Falls... Such a pretty hike!!

Sunset and Sharks Cove.. so pretty! I love my hubby:)

Seriously Ty and I LOVE this little girl. She LOVES the sand... look at her face:) I think the reason Im not a mom yet is because I don't like to get all dirty and sandy haha... This cute girl kept me covered in sand, but you just cant resist her sandy face! She made the trip so fun..

The whole gang in Hawaii!! We had soooooooo much fun:)

The "LOST" beach camp! I am SOO sad that they are done filming the show. Im sure I got really annoying fast cause I thought everywhere we went, Lost had to have been filmed there! I love that show! Ty just kept making fun of me! Im a little obsessed! But seriously its THE..BEST..SHOW..EVER.... in my opinion!

At one of the beaches we went to there were HUGE and LOTS of sea turtles everywhere!! It was awesome. We even fed them and Matt jumped in and swam with them. Later on the trip we heard that where there are turtles there are sharks... ahh...!!

Ty coming down!!

The 3 boys going skydiving!! Braydn, Ty, and Matt!

Ty went skydiving!! He LOVED it. It was kind of a last min decision and he is so happy he did it. But here he is seriously signing his life away.. Ya I was a little worried that I could lose my husband! But he made it!!

Got a tat!! Sometimes I wish it wasn't airbrushed haha... I love it!

First thing we did was go to the beach in Wikiki of course. We had lots of fun playing on this wall. We would sit on it and try to stay on without holding on when the waves came.. It was pretty funny! I had to cheat and hold on cause I was a little scared to get taken out by the wave!

On our way to Vegas, then LA, then finally Hawaii!!! We were soooo excited:)
