Birthday and more of Summer!

It was Gabes birthday a few days ago. He turned the big 26! We had a birthday party with my family on his actual birthday and then the next day we had a combined party with his brother Chris. They both have the same birthdays, but Chris is three years younger.

Gabe had so many candles, that my little bro lit them with a torch:)

Gabe got a new fishing pole from my parents for his b-day and for those of you who know my husband, you know how excited he was about it!

More birthday fun at Chris and Ashleys house!

We also celebrated our THREE year anniversary on monday. I absolutely love being married to Gabe. He really does treat me so well and Is such a hard worker. I'm looking forward to spending eternity with him!

THis is a pic of us on our honeymoon three years ago!

And... three years later!

We also went up to Idaho for a family reunion with Gabes side of the family. We had a lot of fun roasting marshmallows, shooting guns, and just hangin out!

Playin cards with some of the fam!

Lovin the outdoors!!

We try to spend as much time as we can outside because we love summer so much and don't want to miss a minute of it! I can't believe it's already August. Summer has flown by:( Here are some pics of what we've been up to!

We hung out with our Friends Christie and Scottie last weekend. We always have so much fun when we are with them. We went to Christies parents house and made tinfoil dinners, roasted marshmallows, made some really yummy smoothies, and then we watched a movie in there theatre room.
Christie and I were pretty proud of our tinfoil dinners!!

Gabe and Scottie getting the fire ready for our dinner!

Just hangin out around the fire tellin stories.

Our Smores were sooo good! Hence the food all over our faces:)

Then the smoothies. Man we ate a lot but it was sure fun. Thanks again Lambs! We need to do it again soon!

We went swimming at my pool a couple of weeks ago with my fam.

We went and saw some really good fire works a few weeks ago at steele days. I love fire works and just laying on a blanket while they go off right above your head!

We took Ellie with us to the fire works, if you can't tell she was loving it!

Of course we've been fishing a lot too! We went with Josh, Nicole and Bentley to Salem ponds.

Cute Bentley and Nicole enjoying the nice day!

I of course cought the biggest fish of the day:)

We love summer and are deffinately enjoying the time we get to spend outside!!

Fun in the SUN!!

We've had a fun summer so far, and are happy it's finally warm. Sorry soo long:)

First off we went to the annual strawberry days rodeo a couple weeks ago with some family. It's a tradition for gabe and I to go, since this was where we had our first date, and then a year later we got engaged the night of the rodeo, so we love to go every year!

Chris Ash, Don and Kristi at the rodeo.

And of course we had to scarf down some strawberries and cream, don't worry we didn't eat all of these our selves:)

I also had a girls night and we played till 3 in the morning while the boys had a guys night. I love girls nights!

We went to dinner with Brandon Lindsay, Austin, and Andrea one night. We are sad though because Brandon and Lindsay had to move to Las Vegas since Linz is going to PA school. We will miss them but are glad that it is only a year and a half program, and then they will be back!

Bran, Linz, Ang, and Aust eating yummy dessert at Wingers!

We also celebrated Gabes dad Don's 49th b-day! Here is a pic of all the boys.

We also celebrated my 22nd B-day. I'm lucky enough to have fire works on every b-day since it falls on the 4th of July! I love it. Every year my mom makes me some sort of patriotic cake, and this year it was a berry flag cake. Cute huh! I had a great B-day and got lots of clothes, shoes, wallet, and a new CAMERA! I needed one desperately and I love it. Thanks to every one for making my B-day special.

I love Birthdays!!

We spent the holiday weekend in Idaho for a family reunion at Dawnata hot springs with my family. My mom and her two other sisters all rented these cute little cabins that we stayed in for a couple of nights. It was a lot of fun! This was us all crammed in the car on our way to Idaho.

We rode down the river at Lava hot springs. It is a very rapidy river and was a lot of fun, except for the fact that Gabe and I flipped off the tube three different times and got pretty beat up by the rocks that were smacking us while we were trying to get back on the tube. Every one was laughing at us because we looked like such idiots trying to get back on the tube. We had fun though!

Swimming at dawnata.

Cami and my neice Bentley hangin out after dinner one night.

All of us in front of the cabin we stayed in.

I left ellie home and took her to a Doggie day care where she played with other dogs. The dogs she was next to were a Great dane, and a Mastif, both very big dogs they were in sepperate Kennels though, but apperantly she did really well and had fun. It was nice to not have to bring her, but I did miss her and she was glad to see me!

Then on Sunday we went to Gabes parents house and had dinner and they sang happy birthday to me. All in all we're having a great summer and can't wait for more fun in the sun!

What we've been up to!

So we've been pretty busy between work, church callings, and play. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Nicole and I ran a 5K a couple of weeks ago in Eagle Mountain. It was my first race and a lot of fun. Thanks Nicole for doing it with me:)

We watched the movie Up in 3D I thought it was a really cute movie!

We celebrated my Dads 43rd birthday! I sure Love my dad. He blew out all 43 candles in one puff!

Eating cake and ice ream after open presents.

My cute neice Bentley enjoying the party. I can't get enough of this girl!

We had to say good bye to our friends and next door neighbors Nate and Jamie! We have become really good friends with them and are soo sad they had to move. They will be missed!

We went fishing up at Salem ponds over the weekend with Gabes brother Kris. It was rainy at first but then it cleared up and was actually really nice weather. We cought our limit and had a lot of fun!

It looks like we're not holding on to anything in this pic, but that's becasue it's fishing line:)

Gabe helped his parents build a swing set for the grandkids while i supervised. They had to stop and only got this far since it was raining, so I guess they'll have to finish it another day.

And last but not least, we had to give talks a couple of weeks ago in sacrament meeting. I felt like it went well and it wasn't that bad, but man I hate getting up in front of that many people and doing that. I'm glad that it's over and we probably won't have to give another talk for a while, hopefully!

Memorial day!

So we had a pretty good week. On thursday My little sis turned 16, I can't believe she's 16, she still seems too little to be driving and dating to me. Then on Saturday we went up to my parents property in Duchesne and camped. It was cold and wet most of the time, which was a bummer. We attempted to go fishing at Strawberry, but that only lasted about a half an hour, the girls sat in the car for most of the time, and the boys got puored on. Bryce managed to catch one fish though. Of course the day we left was the nicest day. Oh well we still had a lot of fun, sitting around the camp fire, shooting guns, and riding four wheelers. Thanks mom and dad for inviting us, we had a blast!

My cute lil sis Cami on her 16th B-day!
