NAILED IT!!

We wake up Sunday morning and I decided to make the boys pancakes. Then they challenged me. Greg says "What shape are you going to make them?" I said "I will do them in our initials." He gave me this smirk like "you can do that". So I said "challenge accepted!!" They turned out fabulous!! Here are some pictures...

This one is Brody's

I think they turned out perfectly....don't you? haha You can tell I started to run out of batter by the time I got to mine. I am sure I will just be making circles from now on.

Thanksgiving Weekend.

For Thanksgiving we were at Greg's moms house. It was a fun weekend. On Thanksgiving morning the boys went and played football and then came home and watched football all day. The girls sewed blankets for Reggi. At about 9:30 Thursday night we went out to walmart to go shopping. We really had no reason to go but decided we should go check out the deals. I was glad we went. I got a lot of shopping done. Friday morning we woke up and went back out shopping. The rest of Friday was a lazy day. Saturday we had a wedding to go to after the wedding Reggi and I went over to Gregs grandmas house to decorate her tree for her. We ate dinner there and then drove home. Sunday morning Brody and I woke up and decided to make sugar cookies so we ran to Walmart to get the ingredients. We got back and put up the Christmas tree. Brody was so cute about it. I would put the hooks on the ornaments and he would put them on the tree. He did a pretty good job! The picture I took on my camera was before I got a chair for him, so you can see the line of how high he could reach. After we decorated the tree we made the sugar cookies. While the sugar cookies were baking and cooling we decided to write a letter to Santa. Once that was wrote we made a quick trip to the post office so we could send it to the North Pole. We had a busy Sunday! Here are some pictures from the weekend!

This weekend was so much fun. I think I need a day just to recover from it though! ha even though I didn't do too much!

Honeymoon.

Now for the honeymoon.

We went to Jamaica. OH MY HECK. Such a pretty place. I will start with Saturday before we left SLC. We were at my parents house and I had read somewhere that for international flights you needed to be to the airport 3 hours before your flight. So me being someone who has to be on time made sure we were at the airport 3 hours before our flight...well it took us about 20 minutes to get our bags checked and through security. I had one frustrated husband. He HATES waiting around and doing nothing. So sitting in the airport for about 3 hours was horrible for him. We had about a 2 hour lay over in Atlanta and how did we spend that? We slept on the airport floor. It was a long morning. After a long night and a long morning we finally got to Jamaica at about 1. We got through customs quickly and made our way to find our hotel place. We got there and had to wait about 15 minutes for the next shuttle to take us to where we needed to go. The shuttle came and we had a 2 hour drive to get to our resort. Once we got to the resort the shuttle doors opened and they started playing music and got us drinks. I knew we were in the right place! we checked into our room and decided to put our swim suits on and head to the pool. That is where we spent most of our time. We really just relaxed at the pool or on the beach. It was so pretty! The hotel had places to eat and activities to do, so we didn't leave. We just spent our time at the resort and relaxed. We went kayaking which didnt last too long because I had a mini panic attack (oceans scare me!), we went paddle boating and snorkeling. While we were snorkeling it started to pour down rain. It was a really cool experience snorkeling and having it rain. A couple of the nights the resort had some entertainment. There was a guy would could literally bend in half. It was kind of disturbing. The other one was a drum band. They were seriously amazing! We went shopping one of the days and everywhere we went we were offered free "samples" of rum. It was a very different experience shopping.
Everyone warned us that we would get offered pot. I never got offered it but everywhere we went they asked Greg if he wanted it, or if he "wanted to party Jamaican style". It was such a blast and we are already wanting to plan our next trip there.

I didn't take many pictures, but here are a couple of the ones I did take!

This is when we first arrived. This was taken at the pit stop we took on our way to the hotel.

The view from our room!

This was the guy that could bend in half!!

When we went snorkeling.

I decided I wanted to eat like a Jamaican. I learned my lesson when this plate came.

Boiled banana, boiled dumplings, and corned beef. Was not my favorite!!

 

Last day. I had to get one more picture.

These are the drum player's. SO GOOD!

 

 

We were sad to leave, but happy to go home! I am ready to go back!

The wedding!

I have decided to do a blog. I thought this would be easy for our families to see what was going on in our lives (even though we don't do too much!). I thought I would first start with our wedding.

The wedding day could not have gone better. I was not nervous at all. I slept fine the night before and was up early and eager to get my hair done. My mom was having a mini panic attack when my hair appointment ran late, but it wouldn't be a wedding if the bride was on time. We got to the reception center and got ready to walk down the aisle. I remember standing on the stairs thinking "I can't believe this is my wedding!" The ceremony was quick and perfect (except you couldn't hear the music!)! We took pictures for what felt like 8 hours. My mom had to come save us! We were introduced into the reception and our line went in first and made a tunnel for us to run under. Well that would have worked out perfectly but while Greg and I were running through the tunnel Greg stepped on my dress and flew back right into him. We ran out laughing. Oh man, it was perfect. The rest of the reception was so good. I loved the way everything turned out! Here are a few pictures of the night!

I just want to say thanks to our family! We could not have done this without them! We love you guys so much! Thanks for everything!!!
