Color Festival 2012

It's been too long since I've posted anything! I am terrible! We have been so busy so I will try to go in order. 

In March Bo's parents invited us to go to the Color Festival. It was so much fun! I am glad we went. I have never seen so many people in my life! When we left, I swear there were still hundreds of people trying to get in! There were also people of all ages, even little babies. 

The chalk even smelled good! Not sure how good it smelled though after we inhaled so much but it was worth it!

I can't believe that we have lived in Provo for 2 years and have never seen the temple. Isn't it so pretty! 

If you live near by I suggest going at least once for the experience! It was a blast! 

PS Does anyone know why there is white behind my words? I can't get it off haha

Denver

A couple months ago I asked Bo what his favorite hockey team was, which is probably something I should have already known. I figured it was probably going to be a Canadian team since he used to go to Canada to play hockey each year. But nope, it's the Avalanche! I asked him why he had never been to a game and we planned a trip pretty much right then and there. Landon and Olivia came right over to help plan cause of course we couldn't go without them considering, Landon always went to Canada with Bo and they played hockey together growing up!

The weekend for us to leave could not come fast enough! We left on Friday afternoon and we of course had to take pictures along the way!

The boarder :)

We got lucky and Landon's dad was going through Grand Junction the same time as us so we met him at Famous Dave's for dinner and to take a break from driving.

In the Eisenhower Tunnel.

We arrived in Denver around midnight so we drove around for a while before checking into our hotel.

In the morning, getting excited for the game!

We were excited to try new places to eat so in the morning we went to the Delectable Egg for breakfast.

To kill time before the game, we went to the Denver Art Museum. Landon had heard a few things about it. It was actually really fun and they had a lot of neat things and the building itself is really cool!

And then it was off to the gam!! What we had been waiting for!

The game was soooooo much fun! It was perfect! The Avalanche won in a shoot out so it was pretty intense and so fun to experience live!

After the game we shopped and shopped!

After the mall we had reservations at Fogo de Chao. Landon and Bo picked this place and had been so excited for it. It is a Brazilian restaurant pretty much like Tucanos. It was so much fun and delicious!

In the morning, I guess we had to make up for all the meat we ate at Fogo de Chao cause we decided to try out City O City, a vegan place we had heard about. Based from the menu we were a bit nervous but it ended up being some of the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had! And the tea was fabulous!

After breakfast we did a little more shopping then headed home! It was such a nice weekend! I am so glad that we got to go! Especially that Bo and Landon got to go! Too bad we don't live a little closer. Maybe we'll have to make it an annual trip :)

A Trip Alone

A few weeks ago, I had a long, long week at work and needed a little getaway. Bo was busy with school and had a lot of homework so I surprised my sister and met my parents St. George. I only went for 2 nights but that is the longest Bo and I have been apart in our married life. Thank goodness for FaceTime right??

I listened to The Help on the way home and it was so good! I highly recommend it!

My weekend pretty much consisted of hanging out cause poor Marli was so sick. It was so nice though. The weather was perfect!

Poor Marli.

I love how Dylan lets his little ears poke out of his hats :)

My sister, mom and I went to see The Vow.

Dylan and I took a trip to Wal-Mart to get stuff to make crepes. He is so fun to go to the store with!

Valentine's Day

Bo of course had class on Valentine's Day this year but somehow he managed to get out of class a few minutes early :) So, he chose to go to Braza for dinner for a little Brazilian food. We were happy to find out they has Guarana Antartica. We can't find it anywhere but there so it was a nice surprise!

Bo and I got each other hoodies for our Avalanche game for Valentine's this year but he also surprised me with some fingernail polish. He knows me so well. I was very excited! He even painted them for me to see how all of the colors would turn out!

Super Bowl 2012

Super Bowl this year was nice and relaxing. We made Cafe Rio pork and made nachos. They were fabulous.

I pretty much only like the Super Bowl for the commercials for in between, Olivia and I made wreaths. The day was a pretty good one if I may say!

Happenings Through Pictures

We tried Pizzaria 712 for the first time a couple weekend ago. It was so good! Drinks. Good. Appetizers. Good. Pizza. GOOD. Dessert. Good

We went to the temple :)

We went to a Grizzlies game!

We went to Logan for my cousin's wedding!

Padre's Birthday!

And, another Grizzlies game but this time with ice cream!

We are now counting down the days cause we are going to an Avalanche game in March in Denver! Can. Not. Wait!

Christmas and New Year's Eve 2011

For Christmas and New Year's we of course went to Vernal. It was so nice being with our families and we were actually really excited to get out of Provo for a while. Being with our families for a couple weekends was just what we needed :)

Bo's family has a new favorite thing to do right now and that is going shooting. So, of course on Christmas Eve we had to go shooting all together. It was a lot a of fun! We went forever!

We would take turns sitting in my parent's car to get warm while the guys shot :)

Christmas Eve night we ate dinner at Bo's parent's house and of course opened up our jammies!

We got S.P.O.I.L.E.D for Christmas this year. I pretty much got a new wardrobe and Bo got a drum set and a shot gun! My parents surprised us with an Xbox as well!

Christmas day was really nice! We stayed at Bo's parent's opened presents in the morning then went to my parent's, opened presents and went to church. There are definitely pluses to our families living in the same place!

Bo with his drums!

We had to drive back to Provo after Christmas on Monday so before we left we went shooting again so Bo could try out his new gun! There were tons of people who came to join in on the fun!

My dad bought me this gun a while ago. It was too big for me so had had it cut down so now I can reach the trigger nicely! Love it!

For New Year's we went back to Venal. We didn't do much. We just hung out. We took our Xbox and played Wipe Out and Just Dance. If you haven't played Wipe Out, you should try! You'll get so good laughs I promise!

Happy New Year!!!

I hope you all had a good one! We sure did! We already can't wait for next year cause guess where we'll be!?!?! ...........AUSTRALIA!! We can not wait!
