Tis' The Season

The Christmas season sort of snuck up on Justin and I, probably because we were so busy with school and work.It's sad because I love this time of year, the pretty lights, decorating the tree and our tiny apartment. It'll be gone before we know it.

This year we got our tree up on December 1st and enjoyed every minute of it. We watched almost every favorite Christmas Movie and got to babysit our good friends little boy while they were in the hospital having their baby. So we had a little visitor from the North Pole stay one night with us.

 I think that Justin and I were more excited about the visitor than Koston was, but we still had a blast with it. My work gave us free tickets to the Festival of Trees so Justin and I went with our good friends Nathan and Ashley Stokes (somehow we didn't get a picture with them)

5....or 25.....you decide :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! To my handsome 5...I mean 25 year old husband!! This year I decided to throw Justin a surprise party. Now I couldn't just do a normal party it had to be themed.(I just say I am practicing for when I have kids, but we all know it's because I find it fun) I decided to choose a Lego theme. I had heard a friend talk about how her good friend threw a Lego theme for her husband and I knew this would be perfect for mine. Justin and I joke around about how we don't need kids because I live with a 5 year old, but who am I kidding with this cute guy who wouldn't want even cuter kiddos ;) Well anyway, I of course found my inspiration on Pinterest.(as Justin would say "that's all she does, looks at Pinterest" LIES!!) We had a great turn out. Justin's parents happened to be in town so they came with his Aunt and Grandma, and a bunch of our good friends were able to help us celebrate. I think the highlight of my night was seeing Justin's totally surprised face when we all yelled "SURPRISE!" Best night party ever!! We had Lego decor, and my parents let me borrow their tubs of Legos for us to play with. Hope you had a fabulous Birthday sweetie! Love you!

Happy Halloween!

 Normally I hate to carve pumpkins, so this year I painted it with Justin to look like a Ninja Turtle and Liesl, Clint and Koston joined us and carved a pumpkin.

We decorated our cubical's as well, my co-worker Amy spearheaded the whole idea and it turned out fantastic!For work we dress up and create a video to go with what we dressed as, the Recruiting team dressed up as Ninja Turtles

Since I already had a costume Justin and I decided that for the first year since we got married we would dress up as the same thing. I love couple costumes they are so fun! Justin and I made the shells for all of the costumes and we found t-shirts online for the rest of the costume. They turned out really great!

 We had a party at work for my co-worker Michelle's anniversary, everyone brought some fun treats to share. I think my favorite was the meatloaf rats that Jann made for everyone.

That night we went Trick-or-Treating with our good friends Liesl, Clint and Koston. And on Friday night we had a Halloween party at our friends DJ and Jenny's house. We all dressed up and then went on a Halloween scavenger hunt. We had a great Halloween.

It's a BOY!!.....Hosted my first baby shower

This fall I got to host my first baby shower! One of my best friends Liesl is having another little boy! I wanted to throw her a diaper shower so that she could have the essentials since she had baby stuff already! It was such a blast, the girls from the Daycare helped me put this all together.

 

We played a couple fun baby shower games, "what's in your purse" and the candy bar game. I found the idea on Pinterest of course :) All the decorations were handmade, Ashely made the cute Jett banner, Kylie made a delicious hot cocoa and Sandy made the best food ever! Thanks girls couldn't have done it without you! 

It's Fall!!

It's my favorite season, FALL! We decided to get out one Sunday and take a much needed walk.. I love seeing the leaves change colors and the cool air that comes with it. I think it's probably my favorite season because I get to accessorize my wardrobe a little more. Boots, scarves and colored skinny jeans my favorite.

 Don't you just love all the beautiful colors and this scenery! One thing I miss the most about Utah is the Mountains. I used to drive up the canyon this time and year and look at all the colors and leafs. 

Who's 25?.....Oh that would be ME!

WEll, I know I am a little behind on posting, but to catch everyone up before the year ends i'll post somethings we've been up too. This year I turned 25!! On my birthday my best friend ashley made me my favorite german chocolate cake and decorated my house super cute! Some of our wonderful friends came over and we had cake and ice cream :)





























Justin surprised me with a weekend get a way to idaho falls, we went to the temple, had lunch at olive garden, visited the zoo and shopped till we both dropped. we stayed the night at a beautiful hotel room and I got to spend the whole weekend with the love of my life.

My parents and i have september birthday's. i normally make it to utah to spend it with them, but this year they came to us! my mom made our favorite german chocolate cake (twice in one month....jack pot!) couldn't have asked for a better birthday!
