We're finally parents...

Just kidding about the title thing ;) hah...

But, I love little kids if you guys didn't know and we got the cutest pictures at Ben and Raquel's wedding the other day, so I just have to put them up!

My Aunt's sister had twins and Nick and I took care of them at the reception for awhile. It was so fun! They are the cutest little kids and Nick looks like the perfect little daddy :)

This week in Nick & Dana's lives...

Well, this past week I got a job at a store called Abella Bridal. It's a really fun place to work. Here are some of my favorite dresses they have at the store.

Nick and I are still doing great, and we will be coming up to 11 months now of marriage on August 1st. I can't believe how time has flown by so fast!

Today in primary we had one little girl to teach. Her name is Sophie, she has long blond curly hair, she looks like a little doll.

Anyways, so today Nick was telling a story about a little girl named Angela. Angela had stolen something from one of her friends. Nick turned to the girl in our class and asked, "Sophie, how do you think Angela felt after she had stolen her friends toys? Do you think she felt happy (Nick smiled) or sad (Nick frowned)? The little girl in our class looked at Nick and she said, "She had the frowning face, but her nose was probably a little bit shorter than yours."

Here's another funny thing she said today.

Me: "So Sophie, when your mom asks you what you learned in Primary today, what are you going to tell her?"

Sophie: "I'm going to tell her the truth"

Our Little Fern

The other day I was waiting for Nicholas to get home from work and he was taking forever. Finally it was about half an hour since he had called the first time and said he was on his way home. I picked up my phone and looked out the window when all the sudden he opened the door and popped inside! He gave me a big hug and smiled and I was about to say something along the lines of..."Man, what took you so long??" but he pulled out this cute little fern behind his back and said, "Here you go, I bought this for you!" :D :D It was so cute! He said, "I was thinking about buying you flower's but they'll just die right away." It's true. It's been like 3 weeks now and our little fern is still sitting there growing :) So, that's my love story for the week. I Love you Nick!!

Here is a cake I made in my elementary ed Art class. It's made from some clay stuff that you can buy at craft stores like Michael's or Roberts.

Camping Trip

Sometimes I get really bored here at home by myself.........
So... I write an extremely long post!! :) a couple.. or a few weekends ago Nick and I went camping. First we tried going up squaw peak to find some camping grounds there, but... that was quite a disaster. We got there and there was only one spot left, the worst spot ever! The grass was overgrown, the table was so dirty with bird poop all over it. The spot for the tent wasn't shaded and the sun was beating down on it. Worst of all, we went to go pick up the ticket to pay and on the lid there were about 100 little caterpillar guys crawling all over it! I told Nick I hated bugs and especially when they were falling out of the trees on top of me. I tried to suck it up until we were in the car and Nick said, "Hold still there's a little caterpillar on your shoulder." I freaked out. I'm not going to lie. So we left and we went to look for a better spot. I'm glad we did, because the place we found after that was so nice and the perfect spot!


We finally got there and settled in around 7 or 7:30 p.m. We set up the tent and camping chairs then started on dinner. We had freeze dried Lasagna! Yummy :) It was actually very good. Better than my cooking at home. hahah. After that we ate some treats, sat by the fire and talked, then we brushed our teeth and got ready for bed.

Our first night there sitting around the camp fire.

Ok, the next morning we woke up and stretched for a little bit and decided to start making breakfast. Nick wouldn't let me cook anything so I just took the pictures. :) We had a DELICIOUS breakfast which consisted of: Eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and Juice (Tampico-my favorite!). The breakfast was so delicious!

Our wonderful breakfast!

Anyways, so after we stuffed ourselves with breakfast we were so full we felt like we couldn't even walk. We had planned to go on a hike though and if you know Nick and I... we don't give in and we do what we plan! I'm glad we went on it too, it was fun and it helped burn off some of those calories we had just gained.

Here's me just strolling along

Nick jumping and me trying to get a picture of it... It was great.

Just hiking...

Nick with our brand new camping stove!

After the hike we walked back down to the car. We said goodbye to our camping spot, and the managers of the campground (who had become our friends earlier) and we drove home.

So, as you hopefully can tell, we had a wonderful time! It was fun to finally be able to do things outdoors and be with Nick :) He loves camping. I do too, probably not as much as him, but I still do :)
