Where did the summer go?

I can't believe that it is already fall! AND I can't believe it snowed the other day!

I haven't updated my blog in a while (thanks for busting my chops Courtney) so I'm gettin it done. Steve and I made it through our first year of marriage (phew! that was exhausting! jk) and celebrated our anniversary along with ny Dad's 50th birthday on September 19th.

We had a lot of birthdays and family parties this summer and you know me and my constant companion-my camera... so here is a summary of what happened this spring/summer:

Avery (my niece) got her first haircut in August!

We went to the Haacke family reunion in July and got our swim on!

This was in July I believe and I couldn't help but get this picture of 3 of our

little sweetheart nephews!

I love Jesse and Jorja (Another newphew and niece) They love each other so much and I'm glad

I caught them cuddling on grandma's porch swing so I could take

this picure and put it on my fridge!

I know it's hard to believe that I got Steve to smile for another set

of engagement-like photos, but it was for his mom's birthday and

he knows how happy pictures of her kids mean to his mom!

My cute family at my Dad's 50th Birthday!

Little Deven turned ONE on September 14th

About half my cousins at m Dad's 50th Birthday party

My cousin Courtney married the love of her life -jeff- in June!

They are expecting a baby boy (cash) in November!

This picture is a little dark, but it is Courtney at her Bridal shower

Looks like an embarassing gift!

Our trip to Disney land in March

Avery and I at the Zoo in March. I think we measure up!

Kangaroo Zoo

My sister (amber) and brother-in-law (dusty) decide to take my niece (Avery) to Kagaroo Zoo (a play place with a bunch of blow up toys and activities) on Saturday. We had a lot of fun and I wanted to share the pictures. Avery just melts my heart!

Happy Birthday Baby! Thanks for a great week =)

Steve and I went to Disneyland this last week to celebrate his birthday. 26 years old! I can't believe we have celebrated his birthdays together since his 19th birthday! We had a fun week but we are soooo glad to be home! It was hot, and there was a lot of walking to do, but it was a much needed break from work and such.

The fireworks were really cool. There was a story that went along with them, Julie Andrews narrated. Good ol' Mary Poppins! Ha Ha

We had to get a picture in front of the birthday balloons in honor of his birthday!

This was at California adventure. This picture was taken right before we got on Steve's new favorite roller coaster. The "Screamer"

The castle! awwww =)

Who wouldn't love this guy! I sure do!

I hope you had a good Birthday my heart~

Hello! As you may already know, Steven and I got married on September 19th 2008. It was a perfect day and we have been doing great since then. We are living in Bountiful and we both work in Salt Lake. Steve works at Granite Mill making custom cabinets and all that good stuff. I am working at Primary childrens hospital, but I work for the U of U. I work in pediatric orthopedics. We get the cutest kids in there! I am going to make an attempt at blogging and keeping everyone updated on here. I already messed up one blog, so I'll try to make it work this time.
