My belly button is starting to stick out!!!!

One Year Anniversary

I can't believe its been a year already. Time flies when your having fun! So the weekend before our actual anniversary we went to Steam Boat Springs for the weekend. We had a lot of fun. We stayed in a nice place with a kitchen in it so we didnt have to eat out every meal. It was a nice and relaxing weekend.

These are taken right outside our balcony. It was sooo pretty there.

Just goofing off.

Aaron just chillin.

These are pictures of us on our actual anniversary. We didn't do much but Aaron made me a really good dinner. It was very nice.

Boys will be boys.....

So one day Aaron was a little scruffy and I said "why dont you shave a goatee." (I remember when i first met him he had one but I couldnt remember if i liked it) So he did and kept it for about a week.

(he always has to do buggy eyes or something crazy for pictures)

Then I told him I like him better without it. SO, he said "If im shaving it, im doing handle bars." I was definitely against that but I new he would do it anyway so i took pictures.

So not cute! but i still love him. He kept it for the whole weekend.

Look out Rachel Ray!!!

So I was sooo motivated by Hilary to make her wonderful amazing Dill Bean Soup. After working in the temple thursday mornings, my mom and I go visit Hilary and one day she had made this soup and gave us some. Its soooo good! (I do believe she put the recipe on her blog) Anyway, so this was my first attempt to actually make something from scratch.

I was so proud of myself that it actually came out right. It took a couple hours but I had fun.

The Rockies!!!

So this year we splurged and got half-season tickets to the Rockies. We got seats together with Hilary and Evan, that way Hilary and I could talk the whole time while our husbands watched the games. I love going to the games but I think I have ADD so Hilary was a "must have" for me to agree to go to 25 games. It was soooo much fun.

These are pictures from opening day. They let a ton of balloons go that was pretty cool and they had army jets fly by really low above the stadium.

Aarons eyes, of coarse, were on the game.

Me, Hilary and Evan

The Season finale! Sorry we didnt take a ton of pics thoughout the season but we sure had a lot of fun and I will admit I learned a lot about baseball. Like, its called extra innings and not overtime. But I do believe I was just really tired the time I said that.

Here are all the people lined up to watch the fireworks. Which I must say, were THE BEST fireworks I have ever seen. And poor little Aaron missed it because he had school. :-(

Here is a little video of the grand finale. (My memory was full on my camera so its really short.)

Remodeling the house

So back in August Aaron started to remodel our house. Here are the before pics of our lovely kitchen and dining area. (notice how small the kitchen is)

He tore down half a wall in our kitchen where the fridge use to be against and he rewired the lighting to put can lights in the kitchen and dinning area. This is the mess he made. Can you imagine living in this??? Lets just say we ate out way too much.

This is him cutting holes in our ceiling for the can lights. Isn't he cute?

This one shows the lighting done but he still has the patch work to do.

You can see the wall he tore out is all nice and pretty now. The next project was the hardwood floors.

Aaron got about 1/3 of the way done with the floor the weekend before the water damage came. (see "The Roofers!!!!" entry in August)

These are the semi-after pictures. He still has some drywall touch ups and painting to do but doesn't it look soooooo nice? We have a ton more room, our kitchen isn't a single butt kitchen anymore. :-)

He is still not finished with the harwood but i will put them up as soon as its done.
