Happy Birthday to Us // Welcome Toby

So one time Jordan and I had birthdays!! Actually that one time was 2-3 months ago... Man, I have really been slaking in the blogging game. But anyway I have finally gotten around to blogging about what we both did for our 21/25 birthdays!  My birthday was in August, and the day started by getting woken up by my sweet husband with the cutest box of donuts I have ever seen. My man knows me really well and knows I would much rather have donuts than cake! 

The rest of the day was spent going to lunch at the Habit, and then shopping at City Creek and then ending with dinner at Alemexo. Seriously it was perfect! Jordan spoiled me! 

Those chocolate shakes tho. Habit has quickly become one of our favorites. 

Then I was surprised by my family who made me the cutest cake and balloons to celebrate!! My sister Ava is the craftiest person I know, and she MADE those balloons. Seriously, she puts me to shame.

I mean, COME ON! Some one wife her. Quick. 

Jordan's birthday was in September and now it was my turn to spoil him! For his birthday we both had school. So I woke up early and made him breakfast! Then when we both got home from school I surprised him with his favorite meal from his childhood. Chicken Blintzes. Man it was delicious. Then we took a scooter ride (a birthday present to both of us from my parents) to a movie!! The real surprises for Jordan tho came before and after his birthday! I surprised him with tickets to see a live star show up at the planetarium in Salt Lake! He was like a kid in a candy store playing with all that space stuff. 

Of course the night wouldn't be complete without another trip to the Habit. 

Which brings us to the biggest surpise of the them all! The weekend before Jordan's birthday I got a text from my parents that said, "Would you kill us if we got this for Jordan?" with the following picture.

I said OF COURSE NOT. We then hatched a plan of how we would surprise Jordan with him. Luckily for us, Jordan had a vocal point show that night and would not be home until late. So I went and got all the things he would need, and then waited at my parents house for Jordan to come over. Below is the video of Jordan seeing him of the first time. 

We named him Sir Tobias Winston Churchill, or Toby for short. He is the absolute cutest dog there has ever been and I might be a little more in love with him than Jordan is. 

He is the laziest dog there has ever been. This is a result of a 10 minute walk around our block. 

 Welcome to the family Toby.  

Bryce Canyon // Saint George // Las Vegas

I have a new found love for Pioneer Day. There is no school, fireworks, and recently all my family has started coming into town for a family reunion! Its great! This Pioneer Day weekend was a busy one for Jordan and I. But it was so wonderful! First stop for the weekend was Bryce Canyon for a family reunion with my mothers side of the family! Bryce Canyon is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been! And heres a fun fact, the Thunder Mountain that inspired the Disneyland ride is in Bryce Canyon! 

That view tho.... Seriously amazing.

Bryce Canyon Selfies. Mia wouldn't really have it. 

Next we went down to Saint George! We spent the few days we had there mostly playing Clash of Clans (seriously, we have a problem), eating, and going to Tuacahn plays! We saw both The Little Mermaid and Wizard of Oz. I absolutely LOVED Little Mermaid! Watching those mermaids glide all over the stage was amazing! Wizard of Oz was very good too! It was super cute and fun! 

Next stop: LAS VEGAS! We went down just for a day trip, we spent the day shopping and then went to Cirque Du Soleil's O! And oh my goodness! It was AMAZING! This is my 3rd Cirque show, but Jordan's first! It is so amazing to watch what they can do, every act is full of ooo's and aahhh's!

Then it was time to come back to Provo, and back to the grind of school and work. It was so nice to have a little break, especially because I won't get one in between summer semester and the next school year! 

I hope you Pioneer Day weekend was as good as ours!! 

Our Fourth of July

The fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays! I love it!! It combines all of my favorite things: BBQ's, Family, Patriotic dressing, Parades, and Fireworks.

Last year I was in London for the 4th so this year I went all out! Our day stated with a very festive America breakfast!

The America toast has plain cream cheese, raspberry jam, and fruit to make the flag. When I decided to make it I thought it would just be cute and I was not making it to taste great. But it actually was delicious! So delicious that we made it the next day too... ha. 

After breakfast it was up to my families home in Heber where Jordan hit some balls at the driving range with my brothers. And then we went to Wallsberg to our family friend's annual BBQ where we ate delicious food and watched fireworks! It was amazing!

Gosh. I love dressing head to toe in red, white, and blue.

Look at that American sunset!! Amazing. 

Then we went back down to Provo, and before turning in for the night we drove up foothill to watch the last little bit of the Stadium of Fire/all of the Provo Residents' Fireworks. It was amazing!!

Perfect Fourth if I do say so myself.
