5 Years!!.....Are you serious?

So do we get an award for surviving 5 years??

* * *

Well I guess I do.......... it includes: a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a gift certificate for a full body massage. Bryce knows how to make me happy! And it only took 5 years. :)

I can't believe we've been married 5 years!! That seems like a long time but it's gone by pretty fast. Every year just seems to get better & better!

* * *

Happy 5 years!! Love you Bryce!!

Birthday Princess!

NO...I'm not talking about myself. . . . . . but I'd love to hold that title and wear this cute little tiara for my birthday.:)

* * *
My adorable little niece turned 3 years old last week and of coarse I just had to make the 12 hour trip to Blanding to be there to celebrate such a fun event. It was worth every hour to be able to spend time with my family and two of the most adorable kids you've ever seen!!

The real "birthday girl" really wasn't too fond of the birthday crown because the combs that held it on dug into her head.:) Ouch!

The picture below gives you an idea of Tenli's changing moods. . . . I love it! She's got such a cute little personality!

* * *

The Princess Birthday Party started off with yummy BBQ food. . . . .


. . . . . then the devouring of the cutest Barbie Princess cake made extra special by Gamma Laura.

Tenli watched "Gamma" work on this cake all day and at one point she said, "Gamma, is that my princess cake?". . . . ."Oh thank you so much Gamma!"
* * *
Needless to say, Tenli LOVED her princess cake.

. . . .and all of her cute girlie presents.
She's finally starting to like dolls, barbies and pink stuff but also still likes to do everything her brother does so it was only fitting that she get. . . . . .

A real pink Barbie fishing pole!
Right after opening it she turned to my dad and said in a very excited voice, "Now I can go fishing with you Papa!!"

She got lots of cute stuff! My favorite part was watching her open each present and really ham it up for her audience!. . . .
"Oh this is so cute!"
"I love this!"
"Super cute!"
"Look mom!"
And after all the gifts were opened she came around to each of the 10 party attendees and gave us a hug. Aaahhhhh, how cute!
* * *
Happy 3rd Birthday little Princess Tenli!

I love being "Aunt Bittny". . . . . can you tell??

Team Edward or Team Jacob??

So I've always been a member of Team Edward but the, just released, New Moon trailer has me questioning my loyalty.

* * *

For those of you that haven't seen it or who have and would just like to watch it a couple more times:) go to: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/ to check it out! Oh boy is it GOOD!! I'm so excited for the movie! Will November ever get here??

I know that Talor Lautner is like 17 years old but man oh man is he a hottie!!!:) Is it wrong to say that??

Go Team Jacob!!!

What did you think of the New Moon trailer?

Memorial Day Weekend!!

So the weekend started out with a yard sale on Saturday. . .

My friend Christelle and I organized an apartment complex yard sale that turned out pretty good. I sold just about everything except 10 or so clothing items. It was actually pretty fun being able to spend some time outside. . . . . . or so I thought. After eight hours of sun on this white body (i.e. scalp, forehead, nose, neck, and shoulders), I came away looking like a blotchy tomato.:) Apparently I missed those places with the sunscreen! Oops! Other than looking like the perfect candidate for Head & Shoulders all is well.

* * *

On Monday we were invited to a BBQ at a ward friend's house.

The hosts were very gracious and the food was excellent! It was nice to get out and do something! We have a lot of great people in our ward here who are all just trying to survive the small town life.:)

- The host Angie and her little girl Chloe (who often cries when I try to talk to her). Most kids like me and I'm not quite sure why she doesn't feel the same.:)

These are our friends Tyler & Christelle who live in an apartment beneath us and are sadly moving this next weekend. :( We'll miss them. We've had movie nights & Sunday BBQ's with them and asked many favors of them over this past year that we've lived here. (Can you believe it's already been a year?? Crazy!!)

Okay, this picture is a classic "couple" pose but it doesn't really portray our relationship very well. . . . . . .

Now this next picture on the other hand. . . . . . .

. . . . . . Now that's more like it! :)

(I thought this was a great candid. Bryce was trying to grab my hand so we could do an "engagement pose" and I was having none of it!)
* * *

Anyway- - after the BBQ that evening we, along with 2 other couples, went to see Night at the Museum 2, which was really good by the way! It was even better than the first one.

* * *

So all in all a great weekend!
