1 Year Anniversary

I cannot believe Dallin and I have been married for 1 whole year, it flew by so fast! I am so grateful for this man in my life. He makes me so so happy.

Garage Man

                             Garage Man

 For my 3D design class we were instructed to make something that was personal and meaningful to you. We had the whole semester to do it, and some guidelines were that you have to use 3 mediums and one of the mediums had to be something natural, unaltered by man.

Growing up my dad would bring home so many nuts, bolts, screws and metal gadgets. I wanted to make a little man out of all the stuff out of his garage. This was a neat and fun challenge for me. Most of the peices are screwed together, but some of it is glued. The fish in the middle was another brilliant idea when my mom found a class cup that fit so perfectly in his tummy. I glued it on and it worked perfectly.

It took me roughly 2 weeks to make, but lots of fun trying to figure out what I wanted to do.

OH CANADA!

Dallin and I took a trip to Canada, his home land. In Magrath we visited family, played lots of games, went boating, dodged a hale storm, went to the play Once Upon a Mattress, horseback riding, got the amazing Blue Goose Slerpies, visited Katie at the Magrath Museum, watched Dallin and his cousins put pants on a calf in a rodeo, played ladder ball, watched the Cooks play softball, ran a 5K, watched the Magrath Parade, had a family BBQ, took a nap, watched the fireworks, and stayed up late every night!

We had a blast with family in Magrath! Already we are planning our trip back next year.





Sunday afternoon Dallin drove 3 and a half hours to Edmonton while I slept in the passanger seat. We were excited to visit with Grandma Zola.


When we got there she made us a delicious dinner. Bradon came over to visit and eat dinner with us.

Monday morning we went to West Edmonton Mall. The largest mall in the world. We ate lunch at Boston Pizza and enjoyed looking around at all the different shops and fun attractions. When we were done looking around we visited Aunt Jennifer. She took Dallin around the house and went over all the memories he had had in that house as a child. Tom and his kids came over and didnt know we were there so that was a fun surprise to see them and meet his family.

After aunt Jennifers we went to visit Lauren and Darcy with their two cute kids Bailey and Oliver. We didnt get to see Darcy in Magrath so that was fun to catch up with him. We went for a little walk aound the park and got tons of mosquito bites. We then had to leave for Red Deer to make it back for dinner with Grandma and her kids, Brenda, Shelly and Wendy.

We picked up grandma and went to a little chinese place on the corner. Shelly ordered food for all of us, and it was delicious.

We spent the rest of the night with grandma, watched some Olympics then went to bed. The next morning we woke up really early to drive 15 hours from Red Deer Canada to Provo Utah. That was a crazy drive, but we made it safely home.
