Happy Birthday Kaya baby!!

Kaya turned 3 years old on the 29th of December! She is getting so big! She has been so fun to have around! She has so much energy and we can't seem to keep up with her! When she was a puppy and we didn't have Kiwi around, we used to have to take her to the cemetary across the street every night and let her just run to get some energy out. Luckily, Kiwi helps with that now. Over the last year she has definitely gotten more attached to us. For the longest time, she was always so busy she didn't have time to worry about us...however, she is now very attached and cries when we leave her. She loves to hike, bike, run, eat and play. She also loves the snow, she is definitely a dog meant for the snow!! She rolls in it every chance she gets!

Her howl is my absolute favorite. Evey morning when we let her in, she says hello with her sweet howl. And did I mention, she was the cutest puppy ever?!? We love her so much, Happy birthday Kaya!!

Turkey Day in the Hole!!

So we just got back from a great trip to Jackson Hole for Thanksgiving. We got there Thursday and came home Sunday... so it was a good little getaway for us! The food was great and it was good to spend time with my parents, sister, brother in law, and cute cute nephew! We even got to surprise the family on Thanksgiving ...

We had our cute puppies dress up and tell everyone our exciting news...that we are expecting a little baby in June! We are a little nervous, but way excited. To make the day even better, we found out that Todd's sister Kristi, is expecting a baby due a week after me! We are really happy for them and very excited our little one will have a cousin his same age(Notice I said "his"...that's just what I call it, since we won't be finding out the sex of the baby!)!!
Anyway, we had lot's of fun except for the fact that I didn't feel so great, as usual, so I probably wasn't so much fun to be around! But still, we had a blast and thanks mom and dad for everything! You always make our stay so enjoyable! Mom, the Christmas lights look fabulous as usual! Love you ALL!!

Happy Halloween!!

Well, Halloween was quite a hit... Our party ended up going really well and we had an awesome turnout. We ended up going as smurfs which was really fun because Todd and I both loved the smurf's when we were little!


Somehow, we got our costumes to turn out pretty good too. I even SEWED my own hat, if you can believe that! The only thing that really sucked about the costumes was the face paint. By the end of the night, it was dry and cracking! But it was fun while it lasted!

We also had great decorations at the party, we went all out! Us and two other couples made this haunted house for the background of our pictures. It turned out pretty cute if you ask me!

We are holding the limbo stick in this picture... I wanted to show our cute tails!! Didn't know smurfs had tails did ya?!!

This was us announcing the prizes at the end of the night...

There were some awesome costumes there.. I had to put a few on here!

Kiss was even there!!The pirates with their baby as a pet parrot!
A lot of the girls... I kinda blend in to the house...

The frog and the princess

Anaquin and Darth Mall
Fly swatter, can of raid, and the baby as a fly. HAHA!
If you have seen the Movie Zoolander, I don't need to say anything more... I will say this.... they won the costume contest!!!
Same thing here...if you have seen the movie, Dodgeball...here they are! He looked exactly like Ben Stiller, it was hilarious!
The spiders...their last name is Webb!!
The Adams Family...
Crayons, erasers, and medieval times!

We had a really fun time with lots and lots of fun costumes! Thanks for coming everyone!

Logan Volleyball Tournament!

So a few weeks ago, I got to do one of my all time favorite things, play volleyball! And the best part was, we got to play a little over 20 games! It was sooo fun, everyone played really well. The crazy thing was that BOTH Andie and I sprained our left ankles a week before the tournament. She did hers playing volleyball at least, while there's me, spraining it hiking!! Anyway, it was very bad luck, however, we both were able to play!! So no complaints there!

Margit, one of the players on the team, got us these free team Tshirts to wear from her friend who owns "XBALM"... It is a lipbalm. Anyway, it was a great time and we ended up placing third, even though we should've got second since we beat the 2nd place team!! They had quite a weird setup for this tournament! But good times anyway, thanks girls for a great weekend! GO XBALM!

Happy Birthday DAD!!!!

Ok, so I am a day late, but it was my Dad's birthday yesterday and I wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday! We got to spend some time with him this weekend and he even got to watch me play in my volleyball tournament! Thanks for watching dad!! It was like old times! Hope you had a great Birthday... you deserve it! Thanks again for ALL you do for us, we love you!!

Love, Todd, Lacey, Kiwi, and Kaya!

My dad loves his grandkids... as you can see...

He loves to go fishing....
And he loves me! Thanks for being a great dad!!!

Jackson Hole

So this past weekend, Todd and I were able to head to Jackson for the weekend. I must say, IT WAS FREEEEEZZZINGGGG!!! I think I forgot how cold it gets up there considering I haven't lived there for a while. Anyway, it was a quick weekend but we had a lot of fun.

We drove up Friday night and it ended up being a complete white out on the drive up...what an adventure! Anyway, when we got there my sweet parents had dinner waiting for us. Unfortunately they came to help us load some stuff in and one of their dogs decided dinner looked way too good to just sit there! So she helped herself and ate about half the yummy meat that was freshly cooked. It was pretty funny. And yes, we still got to enjoy a lovely meal!

Saturday, we were lucky enough to receive an oven and refrigerator from my grandparents house. My dad helped us load it up and then he treated us to a yummy dinner where we were able to watch a baby moose eat, out the window! Thanks dad!! That night we played some games with my mom, sorry I beat you mom, better luck next time!!! Just kidding!! :)

Sunday we took off back for home with a lovely leather chair my parents decided to give us as well. We were all loaded up with all sorts of furniture! The dogs really enjoyed the chair on the way home, they fought over it until about half way home when they decided to share it!!! It was priceless!! Kaya laid in the chair and Kiwi laid right on top of her!

This is Kiwi in the back of the truck, enjoying the ride at the beginning of the trip....

And a pile of puppies the second half of the trip. It's kinda hard to see through the window but it was so funny we had to get it on camera! They rode like this for 2 hours!!

Thanks mom and dad for a fun trip! ...unfortunately when we got home, we realized the fridge doesn't fit in our small kitchen!!!! I was sooooo bummed. It is now sitting happily in our garage. :(

Fall is Here!!

So it's been a while since I've been able to blog so I have a little catching up to do. Just this past Friday we had a little Birthday bash for Todd up on some property in Morgan Utah. I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said, "Shoot my guns!" So we went shooting and later had a campfire. It was a lot of fun!

Dave and Melissa Stevenson came with us, good friends from our ward, and she is 6 months pregnant!

Todd shootin' his gun!
Me and Dave shooting some clay pigeons with shotguns. Another couple was there, Alex and Cami. Alex is Todd's helicopter instructor. This was actually on his property in Morgan.
Dav shooting Alex's 460 pistol. This thing was HUGE and very loud.
And the pregnant lady gets a turn!!

Thanks guys for making Todd's Birthday so fun!!

A couple weeks ago we also got to go four wheeling and dirtbiking up on some property that this couple in our Bishopric owns. The Boyers are awesome! We also brought Sam and Melissa Bates and had a great time gettin' dirty...as you can see below...
This is up where we grilled some hotdogs. It was beautiful...right by a hidden lake!
