BYU BALLET

I have been bugging Devin to take me to the ballet for quiet a while now! He hasn't been to excited about it and is really good at avoiding it! So lucky me, Devin had to go to a show for one of his classes so I finally got to go to the ballet! My friend from school, Kenzie, came with Devin and I! It was so much fun! The production was a double feature of Romeo and Juliet and West side story! Both were really good. I think I liked West side story better because it was a little more upbeat! They had Romeo and Juliet as the second half of the show so Devin, along with a group of guys sitting next to us that had come to support a friend all fell asleep. It was hilarious! Kenzie and I couldn't stop laughing! We tried to get a picture but it was too dark and we couldn't turn the flash on! So I was able to see the ballet and Devin was able to have a great nap so we both came out happy!!

For Valentines Day Devin and I kind of celebrated on Friday because I had school from 9-4:30 on Saturday! So Friday night we went to PF Changs! (Ya an 80-90 minute wait) :( But it was worth it the food was delicious! Then we were going to go to a movie but we were a little too full to sit through one so we decided to buy some used ones from FYE! (mine and devin's new favorite thing to do because we want to have lots and lots of movies and the used movies are really cheap and 100% guaranteed!) Then Saturday morning Devin made me breakfast...crapes...yum! It was adorable! All red everything and some red roses! Then off to school for me but Dev came in to get his hair cut so that was fun!

Then after school we went to my parents house. Devin, Ben and my dad made this fancy candle light dinner for us. With yummy chocolate fondue for dessert!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Today is my Birthday! Yay! I'm officially 21! Devin and I both had school all day today so we celebrated my birthday yesterday! Devin planned the whole day for us! First we went cross country skiing! It was really fun! I had never been before but I really liked it! Plus it was a pretty good workout! Then we came home got some lunch and then went to see Bride Wars! I really liked it...not as much as I thought I would have but it's hard to completely enjoy a chick flick when your husband doesn't care much for it! After the movie we went out to dinner at Tepanyaki! I LOVED IT! Not only was it entertaining but it was so yummy! Basically I've had the best birthday ever because I have the best husband in the world! Yay!!!

They're Home!

As most of you know Jamie and Casey have been living on the Cayman Island for the past 6 1/2 months! Last Sunday they finally arrived back in the US! It's so so so good to have them back! I have missed them both desperately! I don't know if sandy cried more or Taryn, Rachael and I did! Yes there were tears of joy! I'm so glad they're back! Now it won't feel like something is missing at all of our family functions with Jamie back! !! Love you...welcome home!







This was Jamie's first step into Utah's winter wonderland! I'm pretty sure her face tells you exactly how she felt and how much she missed her Island weather at that moment! It was pretty hilarious to witness her first experience of freezing weather it was a priceless moment!

Devin and I had an amazing first Christmas! Of coarse we spent more than we should! But hey might as well while we can right! haha! We has Christmas eve dinner with my parents and grandma Jake and Grandma and Grandpa Brady! Then we opened our pj's from my mom and dad! Then we went to another Christmas eve dinner at Devin's parents! Then we went to the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork! We opened our presents at Midnight! We decided to make that our new tradition! And I made Christmas stockings for the two of us this year! It took me a while because I has to sew it all by had but I was very proud of how they turned out!
I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas! This is by far the best one I've ever had because I was able to spend it with Devin and with all of our family!

Temple Square

Devin and I went to Temple Square with my mom and dad!
We went to look at the lights before we went to the air
port to get Jamie!

It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like CHRISTMAS!

Devin and I were thinking about getting a real Christmas tree this year for our first tree! But we don't have any room at all for it! So instead we went to Micheal's Craft and bought a little one and just put it on our table! I'm not going to lie...I love it! And yes those presents under the tree have been there since we bought the tree because Devin has already found out everything he is getting so I had to wrap them in hopes that he'll forget all about them...yeah small hopes but still it's the thought!






These are two of my favorite decorations we got this year! The santa we got on sale for way cheap and it's so cute! Unfortunately the snow is getting so deep that is poor little face keeps getting covered!
The nativity is from my grandma and grandpa Brady! Grandpa carves each of the grandkids something for Christmas each year! This year it was that cute nativity! It's so cute but so cool because all the pieces fit together like a puzzle inside the manger!
