Fall Colors!

Last year I didn't get to decorate for Fall really, so I took advantage of it this year :)

Shawn's Golden Birthday

This year I got Shawn a pinata for his birthday - a hula girl :)


This is all that's left of her now...


Mom's sneaky present for Shawn reppin' UVU

I made Shawn's new favorite dinner for his birthday - Shrimp scampi, bread with butter and rosemary, and olive oil and balsamic vinegar :)

Scuba Certified!

We turned our short break in between semesters into a weekend Arizona trip so we could finish Shawn's scuba certification. He did his lessons in December but he needed to do his checkout dive at the lake. He did awesome and now we're excited to go scuba diving together! We just don't know when!

One Year Anniversary Dinner

I can't believe we've been married for a year already! It feels like it was just yesterday! We went to Macaroni Grill for our anniversary and it's one of Shawn's favorite restaurants now - maybe that will convince him to take me out to dinner more! We're a little sad we didn't get to go anywhere or do anything cool for our first anniversary, but we'll make up for it when we're done with school :) I love you Shawn!

Easter

For a cute little Easter surprise, Shawn got me a cat palm tree and some goodies. He arranged everything so nicely, including gifts from our moms haha
My sneaky Easter bunny
I decided to make the fruit salad a sea-faring adventure

Valentine's Dinner

Since Shawn worked all weekend, we celebrated on Friday night and went to IHOP!

Gambit

We have had the pleasure of taking care of this cute little guy for the last few weeks. We think he is a Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix and about 4 months old.

He's just a wittle guy and we don't think he'll get much bigger.

He likes to sit on our laps and play with his chew toys. He usually falls asleep cuddling with us.

Since it's pretty cold up here now, we decided to get him something to keep him warm :)

He modeled several outfits for us

Even though he looks calm and cooperative, he actually hated them at first. But then we distracted him with toys and he didn't seem to notice as much.

Unfortunately, these cute outfits are not cheap, so we are only going to keep one out of the four. Which one do you like??
