You're an anti-dentite!!!

Lately..

So we have done a lot these past couple weeks, I just haven't gotten the time to write about the things we have done. Here's what we did:

July:

We went to Colorado to visit Nick's family

-water skiing

-the Cheyenne Zoo
August:

-Helped with Hayley's Bridals

-My Birthday!

-We went to Hayley's wedding

-My Brother's Homecoming

We had a lot of fun in Colorado. We went water skiing and I tried it for the first time in my life! I would have to say it was pretty tough for me to get up, I guess that's why I never got up. I got up for a split second, but let go. Nick is an excellent wake boarder and I was able to take a lot of pictures of him! Sydney has some pictures of me trying to water ski, but we haven't gotten them yet, so when we get them I will post them. Nick and I got in the water for a little bit and went swimming, it took me forever to jump in because the water was so cold!

While we were in Colorado Nick and I went to the Colorado Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I think it's the only zoo built on a mountain, but I'm not sure, so ask Nick for more info about that. Anyways, we got a lot of fun pictures and the zoo was amazing. My favorite part was probably the giraffe's. They are awesome! We got really close to them and were able to touch them.

We also got to go up to Salt Lake and help Hayley, Nicks sister, out with her bridals, so we have a few pictures from that.

On August 18th it was my birthday! Nick was so cute and did a lot for me. In the morning I took him to work and then I got ready for work. No one came in the store at all and then all the sudden Nick walked in around noon! He had brought me lunch and we sat down and ate it together. After that we talked for awhile and then he left back to work. When I got home he had me come upstairs with my eyes closed then had me sit at the top of the stairs while he read me a poem he wrote. It was so cute. After that he did a little scavenger hunt for me and had some present's hidden in our house. I found them and then tried them on. He is so adorable, I love Nick. :)

I love to bake, I made a banana cream pie for Nick and I one night. Except for in the picture it doesn't have the cream. It was so good, we ate it in two nights. I am starting to make a hot pad for our kitchen, however I took it all apart because I didn't like it, so now I have to start over. ha, we'll see if I ever get it finished.

My brother AJ came home from his mission on Wednesday the 20th of August. We picked him up at the airport and brought him home. He is pretty normal, and still funny. I am happy to be able to see him again. We went to his homecoming talk on Sunday, it went very well. After the talk we had to hurry and leave to go do our sharing time. I think our sharing time went really well (so does Nick) the kids loved it and they even remembered what we taught them when we asked them afterwards. haha.

Hayley, Nick's sister, got married on Saturday August 23rd in the Salt Lake temple. We were able to go to that and helped a lot with the reception. It was a good day. We didn't get very many pictures however because our camera is breaking!! One of these days it will completely brake and we will have to get a new one :( but for now, it will have to do.

So, last but not least… I kept my corsage from the wedding and made a picture holder with the flowers around it. It's really cute and I can't wait for Nick to come home so I can hang it up.

11 Months..

Well, as of TODAY Nick and I have been married for 11 months! Isn't that exciting, and crazy? Time flies when you're having fun :D

I Love you Nick, HAPPY 11 MONTHS!

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 :)
