Family Pictures

Finally! After 4 years, we got some family pics of the kids as a Christmas present for my parents

Happy Anniversary!

Because our Anniversary is so close to Christmas, we decided to do a simple, but fun day and it ended up being a blast! We started out by going sledding and it was hilarious! My dog, Ody, came with us and thought he had died and gone to heaven. Then, we got ready and went to the Garden Restaurant at the Joseph Smith building for dinner and went to the lights and Nativity at Temple Square after. It was a very romantic and special night. Once we got home, we ended the night by playing our new favorite game, Ticket to Ride, with my family.

Before our date, Jace bought me a dozen beautiful roses.

We aren't dead!!

Just a little post to say that I have just been a huge slacker over the past few months with updating my blog! I'm so sorry that we haven't posted anything, but more will be coming soon.....

Hangin' Out

So we've been here in Alabama since the beginning of July and are just getting ready to come home this weekend! We have really enjoyed our time being here, but we're looking forward to coming home and seeing our family and friends. It rains a lot here in Alabama, but that is why it's so beautiful and green! Here are some pics of the boys just chillin in our apartment.

Here's Jace in his Alabama T-shirt and reading his book, the Alchemist. The people out here are FANATICAL about their two rival schools: University of Alabama and Auburn University. It's even worse than BYU and Utah! There are seriously cars everywhere just decked out in Alabama colors and any of the talk shows you listen to on the radio are just men going off about each of the schools and what they love or hate about them! It's wild!

BBQ at the Cook's!

As an office, we decided we would have a barbeque on

our day off! We went to Jeremy and Jul's apartment

complex and enjoyed the sun, hamburgers and hot dogs,

and lots of swimming in the pool!

Since it was so hot, Jace and I decided just to

stay underwater the whole time!

Our friends, Jeremy and Jules. Jeremy was

trying to roar like a lyon- sorry Jer, you're underwater

and no one will hear you!

Rock a bye Jace on the treetop....

Night at the APARTMENT Theater!

After a long day at work, the pest control team decided to watch Casino Royale at Jules and Jer's apartment complex! We ordered lots of pizza and drinks and it was a blast! Alabama has been amazing, and not what I expected at all. We moved here at the beginning of July from Hollywood, Florida, where we lived from May through June. It is very, very green and humid. Although there aren't any mountains in sight, I feel like I'm in the mountains because we're surrounded by tall pines that are standing very tall and close together. It almost has a Park City, Utah kind of feel to it. We are living in Birmingham, just off the freeway. We love our apartments and the people here are very courteous and kind, not to mention they have the "suthun" accent! This summer has definitely be one that we will look back on and cherish the memories we've had here.





This is it! The whole gang at dinner! Hurray for Pointe Pest Control!
