To my super fun and creative friends

Knock it off!!!!
You're making me look bad.
With your constant cute blog updates and super fun crafts,
I look like a horrible wife compared to all of you!
These are my sad attempts at being crafty. My welcome blocks with an outdoorsy theme.

The quilt I'm currently making for my new niece.
(please note our SWEET bright blue carpet *gags*)


My first. only. and probably last attempt at crocheting.


Forgive my rant.
Go ahead and laugh.
I still love all of you, I guess jealousy got the best of me.

The month of love

Happy Valentines day to all!
In effort to be a better blogger I have decided to try and take more pictures. Now, bear with me here folks, I don't have any cute kids to constantly take pictures of so it is a little harder when its just the same two old mugs to look at.


Our weekend started Friday. Being that Valentines was on a Sunday this year it pretty much forced everyone in the state of Utah to celebrate early. We woke up Friday afternoon, that's right, afternoon.(Don't judge) I made a yummy Valentines day theme breakfast with scrambled eggs, pink pancakes with mini chocolate chips "kisses" and bacon. For the first time I got to use my beautiful RED plates we got from Crate and Barrel last time we were in California. I decorated the house with pink heart post it notes because, sadly, we have a lack in seasonal decorations in our home. I was creative none the less.



This being our first married Valentines day Zach was held to high expectations. He did well. After our late brunch we headed to the SPA for a couples massage! HOW WONDERFUL! I highly recommend this to all! After our massage we stopped my the nail salon for manicure for me and a pedicure for him. We topped off our night by eating at PF Chang's, one of my favorite places!

Saturday we slept in again then met up with Zach's family for lunch at Cafe Rio and all went to see the movie Valentines day.

Sunday morning we woke up really early to go to a mission farewell for one of Zach's friends. By the time we were out of church something wonderful happened...
Our happiest news of all, we have a new Niece!!!!!
Margaret (Maizy) Jane Lyman!
born on Feb. 14th at 7:51 am.
She weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz.
and was 18.5 inches long

We were all so thrilled to welcome this little one into the world on Valentines day!
Can you think of anything more wonderful to get for Valentines day?!?
Congrats to Lindsay and Aaron on your new and third addition to the family! We love her so much already and can't wait to watch her grow!

Isn't she perfect?!


After visiting this little bundle of love in the hospital we went over to the in laws for rock band, dinner and the start of amazing race! We love our family so much and now that Maizy is here I think that means its my turn to add to the grandchildren pool, Right?


Just kidding.
Give me a few years first.
