Fun Filled Weekend

This past weekend Kevin and Becky came into town. We always love when they do and we get to see them and the kids!!

Laura got to celebrate her birthday again with Kevin's family.

Madalyn is a doll!!

We also went to see How to Train your Dragon in 3D. It was such a cute movie and Owen and Wesley loved it! Wes was so funny before it started. He wouldn't let me take a picture of him without his glasses on!

Laura and Wesley getting ready for the movie!

Back at the house Wes found some ways to entertain himself.

Laura's Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Laura!!

Last Wednesday was Laura's birthday!! We had a few friends over to help celebrate her birthday with cake and ice cream. We hope Laura had a fun filled day!

Princess Laura

Rafa joined in the celebration with hat.

Lots of candles!! Haha

More Illinois

Rafa and I in front on the house. I was glad he got to come back and see where I grew up before my parents move out to Utah. I am glad they will be out here close to us but sad that will no longer be home, I don't want anyone else to live there! :)

Opening some presents we got!

Me with Tulips I got at my bridal shower.

Illinois

Rafa and I went to Illinois last week so that he could see where I grew up. We also had a party hosted by Angie so that he could get to know some of my close friends from Illinois. I even had a bridal shower put on by some wonderful ladies at church (pictures to come). While back home I had to show Rafa the John Deere Pavillon!

Rafa loved the kid area at the museum! :)

We had a great trip but it was too short, guess he will just have to take me back sometime!

Engagement Pictures

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our engagement pictures. My sister-in-law Lisa was nice enough to take them for us. She is getting into the Photography world.

This is our favorite one but I'm not sure what color scheme I like it best it.

Crafty Laura

Before Christmas Laura worked hard on making Staci and Kyle's blanket. She worked on it for about a week non-stop to get it done in time. She sure knows how to crochet a beautiful blanket.

Christmas Time

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year!! We had lots of fun being able to open presents and spend some of the Christmas holiday with Aaron, Sarah, Kimball, Simon, and Eleanor!! Then on Christmas Eve we headed up to Kevin and Becky's to spend Christmas with their family and Staci & Kyle. Rafa had to stay in Provo because of work and that was no fun being apart for the holiday.

Me, Staci, and Kyle - Some guitar hero action.
Madalyn is such a doll!!

Mom and Laura working on a puzzle.

Me and Madalyn

Mom and Madalyn. Lots of pictures of her because she is so precious!

Dart gun war!! :) Lots of fun. We had tons of guns and too many darts.
