He loves playing with his sand and water play table, especially when Daddy plays too!

Zeke knows Daddy is so proud when he makes the sound of a light saber, so he practices during the day for when Daddy comes home.

One of Zeke’s more relaxing summer activities, kicking back and reading a good book.

Wedding Tag

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

I was tagged over a month ago with this cute wedding tag, (sorry it took me so long to do it Whitney)!

1. What date is your anniversary?

October 10, 2003

Salt Lake Temple

3. Who proposed and how?

Jimmy proposed on August 6, 2003 at the Rock Canyon Park in Provo. We were playing, then Jimmy said, “Let’s go for a walk.” We were talking, and all of the sudden I heard our song playing and I was like “Jimmy! It’s our song!” He was not the least bit surprised that someone was playing our song, and he asked me if I wanted to dance, it was then that I knew what was happening. Near the end of the song, a basket with roses was lowered down through the trees with the help of his brother, Dave. In the basket was my ring, and he got down on one knee and proposed!

4. How long were you engaged?

2 months, wow that sounds so short now but when we were engaged it was just right. We both agreed before getting engaged that we would prefer a short engagement.

5. What was the favorite part of your wedding day? (besides who you were marrying, hopefully)

So many things! It was a perfect day for me!


6. What would you change if you could?

nothing


7.Wedding colors?

Pink and Silver (I know, I know, it wasn’t the right season for those colors, but they were my favorite)

8.Do you remember anything special from your ceremony? Any good advice? A comical moment?

We got great advice to pray together morning and night, that helps a lot.

9.Were you clean or messy when you cut your wedding cake?

Clean thankfully! I was so nervous, I looked at Jimmy like, “Please don’t be rude!” We don’t have the kind of cake-smashing-in-the-face type relationship. We joke a lot with each other, but he always treats me like a princess.

10.Where did you go on your honeymoon?

To the Anniversary Inn, then to his Grandma’s cabin in Kamas. It was so cozy with the fire, and so nice to just be able to catch up on rest after the busyness of school and wedding planning. We were both in school though, so we took our official honeymoon the following May to Maui, Hawaii.

11.How long have you been married now?

4 1/2 years!

I ‘ll tag Kim T, Janae, Allison, Stephanie, both Jessicas, and anyone else who wants to do it.

Big week for our family

Monday, May 19th, 2008

My younger brother Adam returned home from serving in Brazil on Thursday. I’ve been so excited, it’s great having him back! His accent makes me laugh, I love it! On Saturday, one of my older brothers, (Joe) got married! It’s been a busy, but fun week.

Mom was so cute, she got Adam gifts for each Christmas and birthday he was gone, and saved them for him to open when he got back.
