anniversary date

This morning barry asked me to get him a glass of water.. when i walked into the kitchen i found this. :) and the most sweetest letter.


So like i said in my last post its our 2 year anniversary today! but seems that today is Sunday we celebrated yesterday, by going to our favorite places. We had been planning for this day for quite sometime now. Barry and I love going up to Park City and will find any excuse to go up. anyways we had made plans to go up and spend the night in a nice hotel, but a week before and right before making reservations our car started leaking green fluid really bad... anyways long story short took it in cost $300 and still wasn't fixed. So there went the hotel.. and our ride up to park city. but the amazing mother i have told us to take her car while she would just watch keira at our place. So off we went up to park city yesterday morning! The drive was the best.. i love driving up through that canyon. its such a beautiful drive. We talked and laughed the whole way up... bringing up all the funny stories of dating. Once we got there We got out of the car to go up to our favorite restaurant. when i got out of the car i left the door open to grab my purse after i put on my jacket. When i turned around the wind and shut the door locking the purse and keys in the car. There went our dinner money to the locksmith.. fifty dollars!!! lol... well not lol at the time in fact i cried for about an hour. But Barry was so sweet he kept telling me accidents happen and its okay, and its not a big deal. He told me not to let it ruin my day. And that we were going to pretend like it never happened! So we got on the bus up to Flanagan's Irish Pub & Restaurant. Our favorite place of all time! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is even better They also have live music. Which is really up beat Irish music. After dinner we went to the outlets for some SHOPPING!!! i love love love park city outlets! We got lots of clothes for Lincoln and Keira. We even found matching swimming suits for next summer! After shopping we drove down to Provo to go see Inception to find out it was all sold out!! i kinda cried a little bit. ha okay i was emotional.. give me a break I'm pregnant. ;) Barry is so sweet though he was so understanding and loving towards my crazy hormones. haha over all it was a great day!

Here are some photos..

I love you barry...

Its our anniversary today! we have officially been married for 2 years now. They have been the 2 most meaningful years of my life. I couldn't picture my life anymore fulfilling and blessed then this. I can't believe how much my heavenly father loves me to have blessed me with such an AMAZING husband. When i was younger i would picture what kind of person i would marry.. and i thought i had high expectations. Barry has blew every expectation out of the water! Barry is the most non judge-mental, selfless, forgiving person. Barry always helps me to see the big picture of things. I love to be married to someone who has such a beautiful prospective on life. He makes life seem so wonderful no matter the situation. Barry has helped me see life totally different and more positive. I treasure every memory i make with him, and every minute spent with him. I had no idea i would have married such a perfect husband who loves me so much and who i love more than anything in this world. Our marriage gets stronger and stronger everyday with every new experience we go through together. I'm so happy to have such a strong loving partner to experience this life and all eternity with. He is my best friend.. the one person that knows me best. I LOVE YOU BARRY BOO BOO!!! :)

I guess its called "bieber fever...?"

okay so before i post pictures and tell you the whole story you need to know this was all for my little sister... kinda. Anyways my little sister has this sick obsession with Justin Bieber. When she found out he was coming to Utah she wanted to go to his concert soooo bad. but the poor girl is only 15 and jobless. A week before his concert 97.1 was doing the whole "be the 9th caller and win tickets." So every single day we listen and called in when his song would come on. We did this for 4 days in a row. Then on the 5th day we called in and someone answered my call and said "Good Morning! You are the..... 6th caller." NOOOO WAY!!! turns out we were 3 calls shy of those tickets.. But Shinade (my sister) wasn't going to give up there. There was one last chance to win tickets, and it was to make a display of justin bieber and 97.1.. She begged me to come up with ideas. but all i could think of was to make a poster. The thing was i knew EVERYONE would make a poster and so we had to make ours stand out some how. So i came up with this idea....

AND WE WON!!!!!!!!!!

Keiras birthday party!

Keira just turned one yesterday 6/2/10. We had her birthday party on Monday since all my family was here. And when we were in California last week Barrys family had a b-day party for her too. Barrys sister Amy made and decorated a really yummy cake for keira. It had a candle for her to blow out... To bad none of us even thought that she might not know how to blow it out. ha instead she grabbed the flame and put it out with her bare hand! it took her a second to realize that it burned her.. it was kinda sad, but we'll never forget keiras first time putting out a birthday candle. Then when we got home we had another birthday party for her with my family.between the two birthday partys She was spoiled with gifts.

cutting the cake

It was heavenly...

Keira loves her giraffe.

Time to Kick my butt into shape!

Okay so its no secret i got fat when i was pregnant with Keira... yup gained over 80 lbs. I stopped keeping track after that. So to be honest i have no idea what i weighed at birth. But i do know my Fat butt didn't even fit into the maternity clothes i had bought at 6 months pregnant. I couldn't quite start working out right away with my C-Section but as soon as i was able i started. It had been so long that my endurance was pretty weak. I tried to eat healthy, but because i was breastfeeding I always had a huge appetite. With breastfeeding and a little bit of exercise i lost about 40 lbs. But still nowhere close to what i used to be before. I plateaued.... So i decided that i was going to kick my butt back to shape. And go and a healthy eating plan. Don't really believe in diet pills or starving myself.. done it and its just not healthy. It also makes me a very grumpy person. anyways i found this website called sparkpeople.com Its the best website ever! This site really helps you keep track of calories and eat the right amount of carbs, fats, and proteins. I have learned so much already. I even have Barry doing it with me... kinda ;) I've been using it for 3 months and with some hard core work-outs I've lost 30 lbs. Yeah its not a pound a day or anything. With how hard I'm trying i really would love to see better results, but I'm doing it the right way and it takes time. I now work out almost everyday, and at least run 5-10 miles a day. mostly only 5 miles I've only ran 10 twice. I'm still going strong and I'll keep you updated on my progress! :)

Yay for bike rides!!!!!

I Cant even remember the last time i rode a bike. And for some reason when i was pregnant with Keira It was one of the top things i wanted to do, but i was to scared of losing balance and landing on my huge belly. So now that I'm FINALLY no longer pregnant its time to ride baby! ;) Now there were 2 problems...1. dont have a bike. 2. Even if i did have a bike i cant quite give Keira a haul on the back yet. So Barry and I decided to buy a Trailer for Keira to be pulled behind the bikes.. That we bought off of KSL. And so we took Keira on her first bike ride! it was kinda rainy but nothing was going to stop us...

Haven't even left yet and shes already out.

All Bundled up for her first bike ride with mommy and daddy! :)

Kinda Blurry picture but i take what i get.. not very often Barry lets me take pictures of him.

BYU Basketball Game!!!

We Finally took Keira to her first BYU basketball game! She wore her cute little BYU onesie that my mom had got her. Before the game we took Adam (Barrys brother) to J Dawgs for their famous polish hot dogs!!! If you haven't been you really really need to go! so good... Adam LOVED it! We even had to go back before he left for another one. :) After J Dawgs we went to the game, and had lots of fun! I can't quite remember if we won or not though.. ugh well.

To busy watching the game to even look at the camera

Barry and his Brother Adam... They both wouldn't look at the camera so this is the best i got out of 3 pictures!
