Sweet Things

I just have to say, sometimes I am so tired after work and then I come home to this:

So many love notes all the time!  Taylor usually always has a love note waiting for me when I come home.

Before our trip to Yellowstone, we bought a kitchen island for a great deal from someone in Brigham City

 We use to only have a tiny space to cook....it makes a huge difference to have an island!

Before, this is all we had to cook on

 In Brigham City we went on a little date to a yummy hamburger place

Then Taylor had to go to school and work, but when I picked him up, he had found a baby praying mantis!

And of course we watched the new Superman!

Taylor all decked out

Yellowstone

For the weekend we went on a camping trip to Yellowstone.

Highlights:

It was a fun car trip up, and we listened to some books on tape.

This is us the day  before at the library getting books on tape

It started raining, then hailing, then snowing on our way up.

We saw clouds and mountains in the shapes of different things on our car trip.  This is the pig and alligator fighting...if only we knew these rain clouds would become snow clouds...

But we're still happy!

The cold snow/rain made the hot springs look way awesome and foggy

We set up camp in the snow and luckily got a fire going.

The night was freezing but still lots of fun.

I woke up to Taylor making me breakfast.

And Taylor tried to wear my pants.

We went on all the hikes around Yellowstone.

We saw the grand canyon.

A little lady had fallen and I went to go help to make sure she was okay on our way down Yellowstone to all the hot springs.

We saw a bunch of hot springs and geysers.

Smells like sulfur

Walking on the boardwalk trails to see all the many geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and steam vents

Fire Circle hot springs

All the heat loving bacteria like to make cool colors

Taylor of course picked a flower for me, haha

Old Faithful

Grand Prismatic Spring shadows

We stopped at Jackson Hole on the way to my grandparents.

We looked at the stars.

We walked around and pet their horses and skipped rocks.

We drove back home and had a picnic in a town by the highway.

Life Lately

I've been going to work and Taylor has been waking up early with me to make me a sandwich that he can write a love note on

Been going out on dates

Pei Wei!  And we are both wearing our glasses!  Me, because of working before we went, and Taylor because his poor eyes have been having a hard time lately.  We are both constantly sneezing.

Our SLC Cemetary date.  And Taylor being a goof

Taylor had to carry me the last bit because my feet hurt....don't wear heels next time

Saw my great grandma and grandpa's grave after some searching

 Got a super sweet note from a patient that made me feel good

And I have been scrapbooking like crazy....even though basically, nothing is done

Wedding Bells

We got our wedding photos!  So exciting to look at!  Can't wait to scrapbook more!  I am loving scrapbooking!

Husband's birthday

I've celebrated a few birthdays with Taylor, but these last two were our first married.  That was exciting.

For Taylor's birthday, I made him rainbow cupcakes and cooked his favorite thing....mashed potatoes.  Unfortunately, he had to work and so I brought dinner to him at his work.  But I liked it!  He's a sexy scrub man.

Spinach-artichoke chicken and sour cream mashed potatoes

Rainbow cupcake!

Luckily before his  busy work day, we were able to go to Red Robin

And I was able to shower Taylor with taffy (that he loves--and rolled in)

And we went on a little jog in the mountains and brought home some wild flowers
