Engagement Anniversary

So Weston thinks I am a dork because every year I have to celebrate our engagement. But it was one of our greatest dates and I always love to have a something to celebrate. So tonight we are going to celebrate with a delicious dinner of lettuce wraps and teriyaki noodles. Those are my favorite! Well on this day, 4 years ago Weston took me to Outback for dinner. They have the best cheese fries. When we were finished he said he had to go to the bathroom and left me at the table. Well he never came back. Our waiter told me that he had left to go get the car and I was supposed to meet him out front. I didn't believe him and wasn't going to leave without Weston. So I made the waiter go into the bathroom looking for Weston but he wasn't there. He had left me. So I went outside and there was a guy standing there with a rose and a sign with my name on it. Just like someone being picked up at the airport. So I got into the car with him and after a lot of freaking out thinking I was being kidnapped, he dropped me off at a bus stop across the street from the Mt. Timpanogas temple. There, Weston had a dozen roses and music playing. He then asked me to dance and after a minute he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was so cute! Now if you ask him about it, he will tell you it was the worst night ever because so much of the night went wrong and not according to what he planned. But it was the greatest night and he was so cute for planning everything and getting me the most gorgeous ring. He really is the greatest guy ever! I love you Wes!

This year from Weston's work they decided to close the office between Christmas and New Years with pay. That means that Weston was home with us with no work, no school and no homework for 12 days. In our 3 1/2 years we have never seen so much of either. That's including the time we took off from work for our wedding and honeymoon. Right now we usually see each other for about an hour each day if we're lucky. So needless to say I was a little worried that we might end up killing each other or wanting a divorce but all I can say is that I LOVE MY HUSBAND! We have never had the chance to hang out and just be together for such a long period of time. But Weston is the greatest husband ever! He helped me take care of Makenna (including dirty diapers and a runny nose), hanging things on our new walls, fixing the heat thermostat, and he even made dinner for us one night. We also did a lot of fun things with Makenna. We pulled a sled with the four-wheeler, went shopping together, went out to dinner at the Pizza Factory (yum!), went bowling and I even got Weston to take me to a movie! This has been the best Christmas break ever! I am really not looking forward to Monday when school and work start back up again. But I am definitely looking forward to April 24th. Graduation can't come soon enough. I can't wait to see my husband again!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We sure did. We all got really spoiled. Makenna was really spoiled and got the cutest little doll and stroller set. It came with a doll, stroller, bassinet, car carrier and a diaper bag filled with accessories. She was so excited she couldn't contain herself. And all I can say is that the baby and stroller has been everywhere with us ever since. She is all girl and just way to cute. Well we hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a happy and safe New Year!

Tis the Season...

for colds, flu's and everything else. So in the last month Makenna has come down with two colds and the stomach flu that lasted a week. Then last week we took Makenna in for her flu shot and she broke out in hives. Did anyone know that the flu shot was made from eggs? I sure didn't and no one told me it was when she received it. And guess what? Makenna has an egg allergy. Now I had suspected that she did because she would throw up or break out around the mouth when I would feed her eggs so I just simply didn't feed them to her. Well now because she had that flu shot her allergy is a lot worse. We ended up taking her to see a food allergist on Friday. They did a skin prick test with egg whites and egg yolks. She reacted to both but was worse with the yolk. But either way an egg is an egg so now we have to stay away from them. But they told us to just stay away from eggs all together and flu shots. We can give her benedryl if she gets the hives again and they gave us a prescription for an epipen if she has a serious reaction. Just another thing that we have to carry around in the diaper bag. But we just hope that we wont ever have to use it. And hopefully she gets feeling better from everything that she has come down with. She has not been a very happy girl lately. Lets just hope she's feeling better for Christmas!

Thanksgiving, birthdays and lots of fun

This ended up being one of her favorite things to play on

Wow was this weekend crazy! So much going on and so much to be thankful for. The number one thing I'm thankful for is Weston and Makenna. I can't even remember the last time that we spent so much time together. Weston is so busy with work and school and when I work nights I don't think we ever see each other. But it was so much fun putting up Christmas lights and spending Thanksgiving dinner together. We also took Makenna to Kangaroo Zoo to play one day. It took her awhile to warm up to it but once she did she didn't want to leave. We also celebrated Weston's birthday with a nice quite dinner at Tucano's. Well it was quite in the sense that we didn't have Makenna with us but the restaurant was busy and then they came out and sang to Weston. The told him to get up and dance. It was pretty hilarious. So Happy Birthday to the best husband in the world and I can't wait to spend some more time together during Christmas break.

Twilight!

Okay so everyone might think I'm a little crazy or dorky but I was so excited for Twilight to come out this weekend I could hardly stand it. You should have seen how excited I was the last hour before the movie. I wasn't for sure I could last any longer. But I made it and I had the cutest shirt to wear to the movie. It said "Bite Me (Edward Only Please)" And yes, after watching the show I would let Edward bite me! He was so cute and my favorite scene of the movie was when he and Bella arrived at school together. He walked around the car to open the door for her and he looked so good in his sunglasses and he had the cutest smile. I can't wait to watch it again. I keep trying to get Weston to take me but I don't think that will happen. Oh well. I'll just have to have another girls night out. Oh and my favorite band Linkin Park is on the soundtrack. I love there song Leave out all the Rest. Well I better get going and go find my real life Edward. I kind of think Weston has some characteristics of Edward. The dark hair, sideburns, eyebrows and those big round eyes. He has the longest fullest eyelashes too. Now if only I could get him to do his hair all cute and messy!

Halloween Cutie

Makenna was so cute this year for Halloween. She was a little pink fairy and absolutely adorable. Here are some cute pictures of her.
