Happy Valentine's Day

Taylor suprised me with a card, candy, & balloons! (accompanied by dancing/singing young women in the ward!)

we wanted tomake something valentinish for dinner so Taylor slaved away in the kitchen...

making these yummy stuffed red peppers! don't they look like real hearts!

Then we decorated cookies with M&M McIntosh
this was my heart

Melissa made a fish!

our favorite was Matt's monkey!

One Year Anniversary
Holy Cow! We have been married a whole year!
Well our day started off with a blizzard! We really do have the craziest weather - only two days ago I was thinking about jumping in the pool it was so warm out!

So we stayed inside & made some crepes!

Then we went to a 3-D movie also inside!

then headed over to BJ's for a delicious dinner & Pizookie!

Of course we finished off the day with some year-old wedding cake!
It wasn't as good as the pizookie but it was still pretty good!

2 Baby Afghans

My grandma taughtme how to crochet when I was about ten so last fall I decided to revive my crcheting skills by making some baby afghan blankets (a pink & blue one)

Now I just need to find something else to work on!

A day at the beach

The other day we went to New Port beach for the day. First we had lunch at the Crab Cooker where we ate some delicious shrimp (Taylor ate the crab), Salmon, cod, and potatoes!

Then we went to the Wedge and hung out at the beach!

Mr. Horspool?

Today was Taylor's last day of teaching Spanish! It was crazy cause instead of just substituting for a few days he got to run the whole thing (grading, homework, etc.) for a few months!

Apparently the kids loved him cause some of his students gave him this chocolate cake with one of Taylor's catch phrases on it.

in case you can't see it says easy,

YIKES!

There we were, in the movie theatre watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button when the earth shook beneath us! And it was hillarious cause right when a man gets struck by lighning in the movie it started shaking! aaaaaaaaaah it is so scary! When is the big Earthquake going to hit?

Well, I guess you could say that the earthquake added to the special effects cause we all like the movie!

Jingle all the way!

It all started on Christmas eve with santa a pj's!

Look what I got for Christmas!

We had a sugar cookie contest and I think Tami won with her awesomely cool goofy!

Taylor took me on a get-a-way to a bed & breackfast in Idyllwild!

Isn't the snow just georgeous!

San Diego

For Christmas we went to San Diego with the Ballings. We stayed in some fun condos that were pretty close to the beach! It was BEAUTIFUL!

Saturday: we went on the "Seal" which was a land/water vehicle!

Then we went to the beach!

Sunday: we went to the castilla light house

then to some tide pools!

Monday: we wentto Sea World!
