Viva Las Vegas!

Well I can't believe Dylan and I have been married a whole year! We did it! And we love each other more now than ever and more every day. Dylan is the best husband and friend and would do anything for me and I am so lucky to have him as my eternal companion.

For our anniversary I suprised him with a trip to Las Vegas. He had no idea, it was great! I didn't tell him until we got to the airport (I drove him there blindfolded). He was so suprised! We saw Phantom of the Opera, it was incredible! We also went to the Body Worlds exibit (sorry no pictures alowed) it was a little disturbing but really cool and interesting. We ate lots of great food and did some shopping and had a blast!

Jerry and April took us to Mexico for Thanksgiving and it was a blast! I think the pictures say it all! (Sorry not at all in order)

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was fun this year with the dogs, we dressed them up! We were lame and didn't dress ourselves up but our dogs were hillarious! We carved pumpkins on Wednesday and then last night we ate chili and watched Twighlight! (2 weeks, 5 days until NEW MOON!!!!).

Updates! and some BIG news :)

We went a few weeks ago to Big Judds in Archer and it was so funny watching these boys down those huge burgers!!!

Here's their plates when they were done- it looked like Dylan had sent his through the dishwasher!

The BIG news is our new baby!!! This is KIA our new puppy. We adopted her from the humane society. She is four months old and a german shephard husky mix. We love her lots and are excited to have a new member of our little family!

Overdue! We've moved!

So we finally moved out of our little apartment and upgraded to a new place just around the corner from our old one. Its a duplex (I've heard it called duplex, twin home, and town home- all I know is its like a house with a siamese twin). We're so excited and Sophie is finally a legal resident and is thrilled to have a yard. What's funny is we were debating between two places and one factor in choosing this one is we thought we would still be in the same ward..think again. Its just two blocks away from our apartment and we're in a different ward! Weird. But thats ok, change is fun and our new ward has been really awesome so far. Here are a few pictures..

Our last day with our primary class :(

So we were also able to find a new car!!! I'm so excited, the newest car I had ever driven before the wreck was the 1997 Toyota Camry that got totalled. This is our wonderful 2004 Honda Accord! Hoorah!

Sophie in flight!!

So we took Sophie for a big adventure the other day. We flew to Rexburg and took her on her first flight! She was terrified and didn't like it at all so she had to ride home afterwards in the car with Dylan's mom. But it was a fun experience! (for us)

Summer time

SO. Its been a terribly long time since I've blogged. We had a period of time without internet while we've been moving but I'm all up and running now! (Moving blog coming soon)

For the last few weeks we've been trying to get the most out of the rest summer before Dylan goes back to school. We had a fun rafting adventure in Jackson and Caitlyn's dad was in town and had a blast!

We next headed to Lagoon for Caitlyn's birthday. Big 20!!! No pictures unfortunately but tons of fun in the sun. Then just last weekend we drove to Rock Springs, WYO to see my mom. It was great fun with my crazy family and Sophie loved seeing her nana. We did some golfing (and I did some caddying) We took Erin with us too. The best part of the trip was my mom taught me how to make her amazing homemade pies! Much good baking to come from the Cooper Kitchen!


Some not so fun summer news... Last Friday I got in a car accident on Sunnyside. The wreck was not my fault at all which is nice as far as insurance goes but it has turned into a big pain and a lot of paper work. I was driving along on Sunnyside when out of nowhere a minivan pulled out onto Sunnyside without looking at all. She hit my passenger side front bumper and sent me spinning to the curb on the opposite side of the street. Miraculously I am completley fine, just a little sore. My Camry however did not do so hot. As Majestic Autobody would say "it is a total loss". SO the search for a new car begins.

Her car..

My car...

A perspective view..her minivan is clear back there on the left. I spun pretty far!

CLASS OF 2009!

I feel terrible. I don't know how I forgot to mention Sophie's greatest achievement. She has successfully completed puppy kindergarden and graduated from Pet Smart's program! So she, Allie, and I are the proud graduates of 2009! Woohoo! On to real life..or the first grade for Sophie :)

Me 3 months before starting beauty school..my natural hair color, AHH!
