I'm Back

I feel like it has been forever since I last posted, but I assure you, I have not abandoned this blog already. Its just been a crazy couple of weeks! After 10 years of Marriage, Jay & Liz renewed their vows && all I can say is WOW!! Everything turned out absolutely beautiful! But it took a lot of preparation and planning on their part which left me with a lot of time to get to know the kiddos ;) Needless to say, I spent a good portion of the next Sunday catching up on lost sleep… but take a look at a few of the pics and you’ll see why it was all worth it!
*Congrats to Liz & Jay*





Here are some other things we've done over the past few weeks....

We went to the zoo!



Kenzie graduated first grade!! I am so proud of her & excited for the summer activities! Me & Londyn will love to have her join in on our "Naptime adventures" we do while Christian is sleeping like going on a little backyard picnic. We started farther away from the house but she got to hot so we settled for the shade by the side of the house. Here are some silly shots :D



We went out for Chinese one night, & I guess they take a picture by this rock once a year. So I whipped out my camera and got in on the action as well :)



I have a new workout partner! The one and only... Hannah!! We are only 2 days in to it and she has already had to talk me into working out :)



And last but not least, I thought I would share some of the yummies we have been making on Treat Tuesdays, starting with Trix Treats, which were supposed to be Trix Sticks, but I forgot the popcicle sticks, so yeah... Anyway these are made just like Rice Krispy Treats, just obivously with Trix to add a little fun. Poke a popcicle stick in and you will offically have trix sticks!



We also made cookie ice cream sandwhiches (the reason I need a workout buddy), which are sooo yummy and easy.... Take some cookies, if you awesome enough you can make homemade ones, but we just used pillsbury, and throw on a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Genius!! Even better rolled in sprinkles! I forgot to take a pic of ours, but here are some that look better anyway :)



Hope Everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend!!!

My Room

I was going to wait to post these until we hung the decorations, but the Waller's actually just bought a new home & we are moving in July!! (Congrat's to the Waller's!) So we will probably not bother putting them up since we will be leaving before we know it :) So here is my new room, for now...

The Sitting Area






The Closet




The Bathroom

Mother's Day Shout Out

My awesome mom, who is anything but computer savvy may never figure out how to get on and read this, but I want to give a shout out anyway to tell the world how awesome she is!! Even from 2,000 miles away, my mom (& dad) show their love and support for me every day through the phone (yes they make me call them at least once a day, and I love it!) But that doesn't suprise me because she has always been there for me through thick and thin. When I was little I used to ask my mom that, when she was little, what did she want to be when she grew up? She would always say a mom. Now that I am older I realize how awesome that is. My mom never wanted to be anything but a mom, that is what her passion was. And she was dang good at it.

She is the perfect mix between a friend and a mom. She is always there to lead me to the correct path, but not push me down it. She loves her house clean but isn't afraid to make a mess for her famous sugar cookies. She always stands up for me, even when I won't stand up for myself. She is not afraid to say "No" at times, but she is not afraid to say "Yes" either. She teaches by example. She is my mom.

And yes I miss her like crazy.

Weekdays with the Wallers

To keep my blog somwhat interesting, I have decided to add a new section called... Weekdays with the Wallers!!,! On weeks like this one, when I am out of ideas of what to post I will post random things that we have done throughout the week :) If you have any suggestions or questions about what I should blog about, hit me up! Well here we go with our first Weekdays with the Wallers...

Because we were at the beach until late Saturday night, we did not have time to dye eggs before, so what did we do? We did them on Monday!! Here is Londyn & Mckenzie...




Ok this next thing is really random, but last year for Halloween, they bought Minnie and Mickey costumes, like the REAL Minnie and Mickey you see in Disneyland, so guess who visited the Waller house this week?? :)



I got the pleasure of being Mickey & Hannah was Minnie. Here she is hanging with the parents :)




And to wrap up the week, I went to the singles ward here for the first time!!! Its alot farther drive than I'm used to but it was well worth it! There was a girl there from South Korea who was there for her first time as well, she bore her testimony and told us how she has been bouncing around and moving to all kinds of places for the past 8 years. She said that each place is different except for the church and she always felt at home on Sundays when she would go to church. That is kind of how I felt. I am 2,000 miles away from my old ward but I still felt the spirit and was surrouned by the same loving people :)

A few days before I left, Krista and I went shopping to get me a new cute dress for my new ward so I thought I would add this cheesey picture of me in my "debut" outfit. Sorry about the flash, it was either that or an orange picture...



Well that's all for this week, tune in next week :)
