Coley Olie's Wedding! woOt!

My bestest bud Nicoley got married on October 13th 2007.
It was a beautiful ceremony but not as beautiful as she was.
That Nicole is a gorgeous girl!
I was lucky enough to be asked to be one of her bridesmaids and counted among her best friends. Her wedding was so amazing it was like one of those in the magazines and McCall was the most awesome place to be in the fall.


















This is before the rehearsal dinner which was at a country club in Meadow... something...amazing cornbeef and pink lemonade.

That night we all relaxed in the hot tub and then wandered the halls of the whitetail in fuzzy bath robes and took funny pictures.




This is the morning before the wedding --Nicole is reflecting on the biggest decision of her life will she or will she not get married and leave single life behind FOREVER?! (isn't McCall pretty)






....last minute fixations before the pictures...it is a gourgeous dress...
ps that is me in the front. My hair was a little poofy in front but it looks pretty from the back hu?







Nicole and Mike running
off all married with confetti in their hair!











.....sitting at the long table four bridesmaids me, sarah, becky, and katie (I am sitting at the end because it is closest to Cody! :))

















The bridesmaids
and the newlyweds...


















It was freezing cold because the airconditioner was right on us (it's a good thing I brought all those coverups...
they came in handy). We were so cold that we ordered hot chocolate...nice service they have there hu?




LET THE DANCE BEGIN...

Last dance with daddy... and the first dance with new hubby-poo. Isn't Nicole beautiful?!



















The dance floor was crazy!
If you don't believe me check out the video. I had a fabulous time...it was like my own wedding only none of my family was there and I didn't have to leave early! Isn't my husband an amazing dancer and incredibly sexy. I love him!

I am the worst cake decorator EVER



So this last week we celebrated two relatives birthdays...I love making cake but no matter what I do I can't seem to make them look good...but really no one cares what they look like as long as they taste GOOD! right? Joe's was chocolate icecream cake and kensie got white cake.
the funny thing I missed after I cut off the video is Paul said something like "looks like Joe's finally getting married." That Paul- he is so funny.

The Bugs of Southern Utah

Paul and I spent a wonderful weekend in southern utah. While it snowed in idaho falls and provo, I got sunburnt and probably the best chaco tan lines I have ever had! My allergies were killing me the whole weekend. I guess when I was shaking branches I found pollen instead of bugs. We had a really good time though. The first night was spent at Lytle Ranch in the most southwest corner of Utah.
The sunset was amazing!














Paul and I had a blast looking for scorpions...although we didn't find any the first night we did have a great time with the blacklight and pretended to be starwars superstars with fearsome lightsabers
We missed the smashing pumpkins concert :( which was sad but really we don't need to go to a concert for good music...We dug through the plant litter and found beetles and crickets. I know this is a bug catching trip but I can't get over my love for amphibians!
The second day we made some stops in which my allergies were exceedingly bothersome and we weren't finding much
so Paul and I kept occupied by taking pictures and making sweet movies!

The second night was spent in this amazingly beautiful campground by st george.




My dinners didn't really turn out too well. I should really stop volunteering for things I don't know how to do.

There was some good brother/sister/bug bonding....

Zandy Zoozy's Birthday Party

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Z! I can't believe that Zander is already 4. I saw his birth. So here are my memories...I was going to run a 5 k in the morning of september 27th but my best friend jaime and I had just gotten back from hot dates and she started explaining to me the aspects of lacrosse that I hadn't been quite able to grasp....so there is was 2:00am when my cutie sister mindy calls me and exclaims that she is having a baby. Jaime and I rush into her sweet silver mustang and haul to the cottonwood hospital (ok I am not actually sure of the hospital name but it was really hard to find) So we rush into the delivery room and mindy was having contractions and jason was asleep, so I went over to mindy and started talking, I hope I was getting her mind off of stuff but I think I was probably just annoying (but not as bad as jason :) ) When it looked like the time was on hand (somewhere between 4 and 6 am) I got out the video camera a videoed as I spoke soothing words of love towards mindy (it will be interesting to watch the video and see what I really said) Births aren't exactly what I thought they would be like and rather more painful and messy. But cutie little Zander came into the world as my little best friend...he didn't actually have a name for a few days they couldn't decide whether it should be ryker, montego, or zander. I got to hold Zandy second after mindy and before jason. He is so very special to me becasue of the good times we had especially disneyland. His birthday was a lot of fun. We ate tractor cake, played on the tramp, played with trains, and watched a new backyardagains show. Of course every birthday has its "It's my party, I can cry if I want to" moments so I thought I would include this one! I just love being with the family and I am glad that I live so close to the cutesy browns so I can enjoy wonderful moments like this! Zander got a cd player for his birthday and I cd full of freaking sweet songs from his bestest aunt and here are some cute moves....

This movie shows where Zandy got his moves from....
