Horses are my Favorite

As you know I recently got a new fancy schmancy dslr camera, the Canon T2i, and I'm LOVIN' it.

It comes in really handy for my new blog, which is just starting out but if you're my friend you could go look at it and "follow" me on Google friend connect. 

Link is here. 

Also I wrote about getting kicked out of the hospital the other day, so you probably don't want to miss that... :) 

Behind where we live there are just tons of horses and pastures and I love to go visit them. 

Most of them are used to people so they'll come right up to the fence and hope you have treats for them.

I love em, and I currently have WAY too many pictures of horses on my camera...

Easters

We finally got around to decorating our Easter eggs!
My method for hard "boiling" them is forever changed. 

From now on, I will bake them at 325 degrees for 30 minutes! 

SO EASY and tasty. 

Brandon's bunny drawing! I love it.

Happy Easter all!!!!

On actual Easter Sunday, we went to church and it was lovely, and then decided to go do a little fishing and enjoy the beautiful day.

We went up Spanish Fork canyon and stopped at a little stream and Brandon caught 2!
I was taking pictures, I got a Canon T2i :)
Then we attempted to go to a different stream that Brandon has been to before and we got stuck in the mud and some snow!
Basically we are an amazing team because with just the two of us we managed to get the car out.
It was such an adventure.
Overall it was a great Easter, I just can't believe it's already APRIL!!
Jeez.

Baylee Turned 3!

My adorable little niece had a birthday party on the 13th and I was lucky enough to get an invite.

A bunch of 3 year olds running around in princess dresses.

I about died.

They did their nails, barely touched their cake, and argued over who could get in the princess castle.

My nephew Ethan was the helper, directing the girls to the next station and passing out cookies when appropriate.

And my littlest niece Lillee and I got to hang out and take pictures of the festivities. 

It was adorable.

This is the little swimsuit I got for her, I wish you could see it better it's ADORABLE!

Lately

We haven't been up to much lately...

I made some St. Patrick's Day cuppy cakes:

Cake or brownie mixes truly don't last long in our house. 

We buy them "just in case" we need to make something for someone at some point in the future. 

And then a few days later we remember we have it and they get made. 

I went to the gym last week and it was PIZZA NIGHT. 

I was pretty ticked. Not only do I have to walk by pizza, but the whole gym smells like pizza while I'm workin' out. 

I'll be honest, I did snag a tiny piece on my way out...

Other than that I've been doing pretty well with eating less meat!
Usually I eat none at all, and I even went to the library and got some vegetarian cookbooks.

I don't really want to be a vegetarian, I just want to "eat meat sparingly" like the Word of Wisdom says. 

Also I watched one too many documentaries on slaughterhouses and when I think about meat I can't stop thinking about how they got that meat. 

And then I don't want it anymore. : /

We're planning a trip to DC sometime in April, so let me know if you have any tips or places we need to see!

Oh and we were talking about said trip when we opened our fortunes at dinner the other night:

HELLO!? It's fate.

Also I hope we find treasure in DC.

I got bored and this happened:

If you don't laugh at that you may not have a soul.

She is still precious. She cuddles with us on Saturday mornings.

And then on Sunday we went on a long walk on the trail by our house and pet/fed some horses.

I love them.

Park City

Last weekend our friends Daniel & Valerie were in Park City for a few days and invited us to join them! 

So we packed our overnight bags and headed to the mountains. 

Friday night we went to dinner and got Cold Stone for dessert and it was TASTY.

Then we went to the hotel and talked and talked and had a great time with their little girl Ella running around the room.

Bran and I decided to go to the hot tub so we waltzed straight past the sign that said "POOL CLOSED" and enjoyed the lovely hot tub anyways. 

A sweet security guard came to bust us but just said "Yeah the pool is closed, but take a few minutes!"

We made them take a picture with Mr. Bear.

 Me & Valerie! 

 Cute little Ella! Isn't she the cutest combination of Daniel & Valerie? I think so.

We left Saturday afternoon and on our way home stopped at Dairy Keen in Heber, it's SO GOOD.

We kind of have to go there when we're in Heber.

 If you're ever in Heber, definitely go try it.

V Day

It's kind of impossible for me to say "Valentines" I always say "Valentimes" instead. 

No idea where I got that but I can't break the habit...

so Happy Valentimes Day!!!

Our plans were to go to Ogden to a restaurant called El Matador and then Farr's Ice Cream for dessert, but we didn't get out of work/school early enough so we decided to do that another day and instead we went to India Palace for dinner, and the Creamery for dessert.

Honestly, I could eat Indian food every single day for the rest of my life and be a happy girl.
Peshwari? Don't get me started. It's just amazing. 

SO we called India Palace to see if they do reservations. They don't so we asked how long the wait was, they said "No wait!" so we immediately left the house and when we got there, surprise! 35 minute wait.

Our theory is that they tell you that on the phone because they know when you get there you'll just wait because you're already there. Genius Indian people.

So we went to the new Utah Valley Convention Center on Center Street and looked around. 

And then ate AMAZING Indian food, ugh I'm having flashbacks.

Then at the Creamery I got Pralines & Caramel and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

 Brandon got Pineapple and Cherry Cordial. 

I'm a big fan of the Creamery these days...

Then we watched My Best Friends Wedding, which I LOVE.  

It's such a classic, I bought the soundtrack back in the day and would listen to it nonstop. 

Can I just tell you how much I love my husband? 

He is the funniest, handsomest, lovingest, weirdest, sweetest honey buns and we have so much fun no matter what we're doing. 

Yay for love! :)

 So when we were getting ready I said "Okay babe which lipstick should I wear, you pick because it's Valentimes." and he picked literally the DARKEST shade I own. 

Oh well, you can get away with it on V day I guess. :)

I wanted to take pics in front of this cool wall and Brandon pulls out the funniest poses, I was dying.

Ice Fishing!

On the 2nd we went ice fishing with Dave, Amber and Amber's Dad at Schofield Reservoir. 

It. Was. Cold. 

But we still had a lot of fun! :)
Dave, Brandon and I all caught fish even.
