New York Baby!!!!!

Phillip surprised me on for our Anniversary/Christmas 2011 with a trip to New York City!  We flew out in the beginning of June 2012 and enjoyed every second of our trip!  We stayed in a teeny tiny, but New York-esque hotel room right near Times Square.  We enjoyed doing all of the touristy things!  We walked Times Square, did some shopping, went to the Lion King on Broadway, went on a ferry ride to Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty, went to the Ground Zero memorial, perused the shops on 5th avenue, walked through parts of Central Park, Rockefellar square, Trump towers, ate New York pizza and hot dogs, and got lost on the Subway!  It was a quick, but very memorable trip!  It was so wonderful to spend time with my sweetheart in a totally new and crazy city!  What a wonderful surprise it was!

Check us out!

Out shopping with 2 of my favorite people in the world!  School was out, so my sister Amber, niece Brinlee, and I went for a girls day at the store...  We get a little silly!

Surprise.....

Look at the surprise we found when we opened our grill to make some dinner!  Apparently the birds enjoyed our grill as well!

Poor Gus....

Gus gets the cone of shame, but we still love him!  Hope he forgives us for getting rid of his manhood....

Festival of Colors

Phillip was able to go to the Festival of Colors with Karen Turcott.  They really enjoyed their time there, and got just a little messy!  Karen came down to do a session in the Salt Lake Temple.  We were able to go do the session with her, then afterwards went to City Creek for dinner. 

Meshach and Gus

Our little family began to grow when we got Meshach in February 2011 and Gus in October 2011.  They are Viszla's and such good dogs!!  They are totally spoiled though, and I'm pretty sure that they are unaware of their existence as dogs, they believe they are humans....  We love them so much and love to spend time playing with them and taking them places!!

Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas!  This was an exciting Christmas.  My brother Cameron and his wife Lorna came up from out of town, my sister Amber and her hubby and new baby were there, and my littlest brother Sky was out on a mission in Texas.  By now we had just got our second puppy Gus, and were excited to give Meshach and Gus a few Christmas goodies.  I set our living room up, like my mom and dad did when I was little.  We always had to wait on the stairs and then we could go downstairs to see the surprises that they left us.  Thanks mom and dad for starting in me a joy of family traditions!  Love our families so much!!
