Beautiful Bride

I don't know why this won't fully download, but at least you can see her eye make-up!

My friend Kenna was getting married! Since this is what I want to do for a living...one day...I asked her if I could do her hair and make-up for her wedding. She (who was planning to wear her hair in a pony tail) was happy to let me play dress up with her! It was so fun! She was the best! Here are some photos of what I did! Isn't she beautiful!?! My 3rd official wedding I did!! FUN!!!

Brett Parker Kingston!!

We had an additon to our family recently! Brett Parker Kingston!! Oh how we love him! He arrived after a long day of labor for poor Andra! He couldn't be more perfect though! LOVE HIM!!

Could you ask for a better blessing??

JAZZ VS. HEAT

Friday was "LOVE BRAYDEN MORE DAY". We each have 1 day out of the year where we do something extra special for the other one. March 2 is Brayden's day. Lucky guy!
For those of you who didn't know, Brayden has been sick all weekend. He came home early from work on Thursday, and didn't work on Friday. Luckily, he was feeling up to go to the NON REFUNDABLE Jazz vs. Heat game. haha. He was sure a trooper.
We invited our good friends the Chantrey's to come with us. They are so much fun to double date with! unfortunately she is a little camera shy. :)
For those of you who didn't watch the game, it was seriously AMAZING! And that is saying a lot because I don't normally like a basketball game until the 4th quarter. As a back story, the Miami Heat were ranked 2nd in the nation, and our Utah Jazz....well let's just say they were ranked a little lower.
The Jazz sure brought their A game though! They were playing AMAZINGLY! I was intrigued the WHOLE game! The game ended Miami 98 and Jazz 99!! SWEET GAME!!

Brayd and I in our Jazz gear!! GO JAZZ!

We were defiantly in the nose bleed section...

Tyler and Jessie....I don't know why she is camera shy, she is BEAUTIFUL!

All in all it was a pretty great LOVE BRAYDEN MORE DAY!! He is the best blessing in my life!

 Love you babe!

love is where you find it

Friday morning we were looking out our office window and this is what greeted us! THIS WAS NOT ON PURPOSE! what a great way to start a busy day at the dental office!

this reminded me of a saying. "Love. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails." take today to find love somewhere you don't normally find it.

HAPPY TUESDAY

and...we're back

hello! yes, we are alive. shocker huh? it has been way to long since i have posted, i know, shame shame. but new year, new resolution! this will be fun. i am excited to update all of you ( like all 3 of you who are still checking to see if i post...thanks for besing such loyal friends) in all of our recent adventures. as you probably know brayden and i are quite the vaction nuts, we love seeing other places and looking for new adventures. so more pictures and posts to come! thanks!!

.....i am a slacker....

Well, i am back! It has not been quite 8 months, but it sure has been a long time! Thanks Katie for making me come back!!

Here is a few highlights on our past 11 months! Well pretty much a lot.  For Valentines Bradyen and I spent the whole day just the two of us, which doesn't happen very often living with his parents.  We stayed the night at the Grand America in Salt Lake and just loved being together!!

March, April, and May were pretty uneventful. 

I took June and July off of school and spent most of my days at Cherry Hill, following my mom around, reading, and hanging out at Bear Lake.  We spent almost every weekend at Bear Lake, and it was a great opportunity for us to get away. 

August, and September also went by with out much excitement.  Although we did spend every moment of those months looking for a house to buy.  We offered on many, but non worked out.  I know the Lord has a bigger plan then what I can see or understand right now.

October went by so fast. I can't hardly remember what happened.  On the 7th it was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone!! Bradyen and I re-in acted our first date!! It was so cute of him!! Then we spent the night in a hotel to get away.  He is so sweet to me!! Halloween was a blast!  I did have to go to school that day, but we got to dress up!! I dressed up as my instructor Mo, and it was hilarious! Then that night Brayd and I dressed up as Juno and Bleeker! Although most people didn't get it because they haven't seen the movie, we got a big kick out of it!!

November (present time).  November 1st......the day I look forward to all year!! Birthdays are a big deal to me, it is the only day that your entire world can revolve around you!! Who doesn't love that?? November 1st was my birthday....and boy was I spoiled!!  I had the day off of school, but unfortunately Brayden had to work.  But he didn't leave me empty handed!!  He set up a  minute pedicure at Sego Lilly Spa.  He said I needed to relax! Which I agree these past few months have been emotionally draining!! It was just what I needed! (he knows me to well) Then my mom took me shopping!!! Which is my favorite thing to do next to being with Brayden)  She bought some clothes and shoes!! It was so fun to spend some time with her.  Then that night when Brayden got home from work he took me out to eat at the Olive Garden (which is my guilty pleasure favorite restaurant)! I swear we must have eaten 100 bread sticks and  bowls of salad that we didn't have any room for our main course!! So we brought it home!! Then we went over to my parents house for some cake and ice cream and presents! It was fun.  Both of my grandma's came over and all of my sisters and my brother in law Brett! I got basically everything I wanted!! The clothes from my parents, a scarf from Kandis and Ayrion, a adorable apron from Andra and Brett, and $ from my grandparents.  Then Brayden spoiled me!! Perfume (viva la juicy....LOVE it), a purse, head phones, the cutest watch EVER, a ticket to Lady A, and new clothes!! Man,I love that boy!! Well that is all I have for now! Thanks for reading...I WILL update next week......Remind me Katie!!! haha

My Promise....

Hello all! I have decided that I have neglected my blog for long enough. So I am back!! I promise to update this more, and be more proactive in scheduling it into my schedule! I love to blog, I just need to remember that I do!

The past few (8) months have been kind of crazy and hectic. A lot has changed in our little family, and we have learned a lot too. I am going to update you just a little at a time so I don't get over whelmed. 

I am sure some of you know about our recent trial with our son Tavyn.  Just so you know that story will appear on this blog, but not for a little while. 

So, about January 2010 is when everything changed for us.  We were living in an apartment and being happy newly weds. Then finally reality caught up with us.  I decided to go back to school while Brayden worked.  This meant that I was quitting my job as a travel agent of which I had been for 3 1/2 years! I loved that job so much and the industry! It was so hard for me to quit, but it was the best decision for us at that point. 

Because I was quiting my job, Brayden and I decided to move in with his parents so we could save for a house faster then if we had a rent payment each month.  It has been great living here and so much fun!

New years eve was so much fun! We had all of my brothers and sisters in laws over, a few of their friends, and my family.  We played the wii, watch the ball drop, and ate so much food it might as well have been thanksgiving!! It was a great way to kick off a new year as a couple!

HAPPY NEW

YEAR!!!!

CHrIStMAs CArDS!!

Thanks to my good friend Ciara, we got our Christmas cards out in the nick of time!!  Check them out!!!

VEGAS BABY!!

The holidays are such a fun and busy time!  Between visiting the families, Christmas parties, and Hawaii we had our hands full.  It was such a fun time!  Brayden and I were getting a little ansy, and needed a break.  So we took a couple days and went down to Las Vegas and St. George.  It was so fun to get away and just spend some time together as a couple.  We did all the tourist things in Vegas, saw the Coca-Cola and M&M factory, walked up and down the strip and even went to Blue Man Group.  Here are some pictures of what we did!
