the green green grass

 Our winter grass is so pretty.
 I attempted to get some pictures of lill playing outside, 
not too easy when she wants to play outside not sit and smile.

 Sittin here eating some skittles

Realized my baby is no longer a baby at all. 
Two years old and independent.
Luckily, she still wants me to hold her when she's sad or tired.
Then I hold onto what feels like my baby again

How could I forget

With all the busyness of finals, boards exams, and graduation, I forgot to post a picture 
of my favorite girl in her halloween outfit. 
By far the cutest jazzerciser ever!
 So much fun watching her run around at our church trunk or treat.

Hanging out with her cousins Braelyn(jasmine) and Carlee(Abu)! 
They all looked so cute, we couldn't stop laughing

My little family

Hello Amazing

{Here we are at my Dental Hygiene Pinning Ceremony}

This is Brent. Brent is amazing, and happens to be mine forever.
Brent has supported me through school, playing mr. mom most nights. 
I am so thankful for Brent and the husband he is to me.
No one can make me laugh like him. 
Thank you for bringing out the best in me.

I will love you always


Graduation Happyness

Great feeling to be done with stress and daily run around. 
So happy I did it!
 So lucky to have a wonderful family 
who supported me through this journey.

Group hug, Loving this photo, and loving Brent even
more for helping me through school. I love my family

 I love my parents, they are amazing.
They always were there encouraging and supporting us.

My sister Jodie and I got through hygiene school 
without going insane because we had eachother.
Thanks Jodie for making so many fun memories!
I will miss not seeing you everyday

Sisters

When rocks and hills divide us
And we are far apart
Your name in golden letters
will be stamped upon my heart

A note from my great great grandmother Rachel to her sister Alice
found in old photos my mom has of her family.

I love my sisters

Rainbow 2nd birthday party



 I am so lucky to have such a happy girl. I can't believe she is two!

Treats galore! I made cupcakes, chocolate dipped oreos, and jell-o filled orange slices

We are two of the happiest parents to have Lilly in our lives. 

She definitely got spoiled by her family and friends!
We are so grateful to have such wonderful families and friends,
we have so much to be thankful for.

My sweet Lilly singing into her new microphone toy. 
She put on a show and sang justin bieber "Baby, baby, baby ohhh!" 

and this is for you Nanette, 
this is the only way you pose for pictures with your bff. I love her!

Birthday Prizes

 See those amazing 2 gallon glass jars....
For my 26th birthday I was surprised by my husband with these babies
which were top of my birthday list.
I love them
and I loved even more that I found them here at
house of turquoise in this adorable kitchen.


Eager, AZ

Right in front of grandpas old barn

We took a weekend trip to visit Brent's Grandma Hall in Eager. It was absolutely beautiful there and I fell in love with the small town, acres of grass and horses, and bike rides to the creek. By far one of the best weekends just sitting and visiting with family and enjoying the view from grandmas back porch.

San Diego summer trip

First stop, walking along the harbor looking at boats. 
We ate the most amazing french toast at Buster's in Seaport village shopping center.
We then walked to the downtown mall 
where I purchased my first pair of Tom's which my feet love.

Next stop: Luigi's Pizza as seen on Food Network.
 I loved everything about this place, there was an adorable flower shop right next to it. 
I also loved being outdoors and not feeling like you are melting. 
I am seriously questioning why we live in AZ when California is so beautiful.

best pizza ever: riccotta, pineapple, jalepeno!

We went to Sea World

Last stop/our favorite part of the trip: the beach






 This mini-beach house is one of many that were built on the pier. 
I thought they were adorable!

Sad that is over but excited to say that I only have four months of school. 
Bring it on Semester Five
