The Evolution Of Our Table!

Just in case any of you were curious what the table looked like before…

 We LOVE having our table and having a place to sit and eat! Its wonderful!

Our First Christmas Tree!

 Carson and Lindsay invited us to go get a Christmas tree with them last week, we figured it was a good opportunity since we don't have a truck and have no idea where to get one so we went! I was actually quite excited and we are usually more than happy to tag along with them!!! Its a good thing we have Carson and Lindsay to take care of us.

Our tree is kinda small but we thought it was cute! I think it took Dallen a good 10 minutes to saw the poor thing down. Apparently the saw was dull but I thought it was kinda amusing. Ha ha. Plus it gives me a reason to tease him about being a weakling ;) He does look quite studly with our little tree though don't ya think?! :)

 This will be our first Christmas together and I think it will be so fun decorating the tree and such and hopefully help get me in the Christmas spirit. Despite all the stores playing Christmas music and having all things Christmas out it just doesn't feel like Christmas yet, I mean there's no snow! Where do we live again? Really its okay, I mean Thanksgiving hasn't even past but after that I expect a little snow now and then! 

I got to tree hunt with this little cutie! I'm not so sure he liked the cold very much though. 

I left my winter boots in Moab so my only option was my pair of Uggs and if you own any you know they have zero traction…which I don't know why they would make boots without traction but whatever.  Maybe they are more just for looks?…Anyway…that made walking in the snow difficult and a little scary, at least with a baby. Going up hill wasn't so bad but after I fell on my butt once I decided I wasn't going any farther so Dallen had to take the tree down to the truck and then come back for Korbin while I practically slid down the hill on my oh-so smooth boots. It was actually kinda fun except my butt was pretty wet by the time I got to the bottom.

 Lindsay brought hot chocolate and donuts to snack on and then it was time to head home which was really quite fun with Kynlee telling everyone to sing! She's so much fun!

Sorry the pictures are blurry apparently I can't hold still. 

Playing Doctor and Cook :)

Dallen banged up his leg playing soccer and I was feeling bored so I decided I would play doctor with a first aid kit we got as a wedding gift….my bandage job didn't really stick and Dallen ended up just cutting a sock to cover it but it was fun while it lasted. lol

Ok…I think I like cooking…kinda a lot or maybe just trying new things! The other night I kept dreaming about these recipes I wanted to try and someone was taking them from me…it was weird. 

Anyway about a week ago Carson and Lindsay were nice enough to have us over for dinner and Lindsay made this amazing Broccoli Cheese Soup. I had never had broccoli cheese soup that tasted that good!!! She told me she got the recipe off pinterest so I went and found it and tried it out for myself! It turned out great. Its seriously the best! Recipe here.

This morning I was up unusually early so I decided to try another new recipe, German Pancakes. Ive  never had them before but Dallen said they were good so I gave it a shot. I freaked out a little when I looked in the oven and one side was about 5 in out of the pan but luckily they shrink after you take them out. It turned out pretty good…I might try them again sometime. They aren't quite at the top of my list but maybe I just haven't perfected it yet. 

I love being Married!

In case you guys were wondering, I LOVE being married! I thought at first being married would feel so strange but it hasn't, not even kinda! From day one to day 25 its been awesome! Even those little things that are sometimes hard are somehow fun, not right in the moment but looking back (even just 5 mins or the next day) and realizing that Dallen is quite an exceptional human being and I'm so grateful for him and who he is! Why he is so kind to me sometimes I just don't know but I'm so glad to have him as my husband!
