BYU Homecoming 2015

On October 9 & 10 we celebrated BYU Homecoming. I had really wanted to go to the BYU Spectacular, which is dancing and music, this year they had David Archuleta as special guest, but I was nervous about taking Crew because his bedtime is between 8-8:30. Andrew got him some headphones for the football games so I figured that if he wore those and if he got really fussy we could walk around with him. Two days before the event I got on and got tickets. They had a disclaimer saying these seats were to the side of the stage so it would be hard to see but you could still see the big screen. That was perfect to me because I really just wanted to hear David and Vocal point (BYU's acapella group) sing.

Well night of the event we are going to our seats and yes they are on the side but it is the second row from the stage on the side. We kept thinking well maybe we are in the wrong seats, but sure enough they were the right ones! It was awesome! Since it was the side of the stage they also had no one sitting next to us so Crew had a little more room to wiggle around and even got to sit in his own chair. Crew did great the first half of the show. He loved watching all the dancing and the lights change colors. Then he started to get a little fussy because he was sleepy so I just walked up the steps to the top and stood in the dark door way and rocked him. Because he had his head phones on and the lights were dimmed he fell right to sleep. I was then able to just take a seat and rock him while watching the rest of the show! It was perfect! Those headphones were amazing because Crew can't fall asleep with any noise. He is really picky like that. If he hears anything he wakes right up. But even when the crowd went crazy for David and for Vocal Point he slept through it.

It was an amazing performance. As we were leaving I told Andrew that I want to come to this every year. We can do this show and the football game! A perfect combination for us. I loved when David and Vocal Point sang "Nearer my God to Thee." (here is a version of Vocal Point and BYU men's choir singing it. It is a really good version too) It was absolutely STUNNING! Ever since having Crew I have been a tad more sensitive and it made me tear up. It brought such an amazing spirit into the Marriott Center. It warmed me with an overwhelming sense of peace. I just love Davids voice and whenever he sings gospel songs it really makes me feel closer to God. I love it. I'm already looking forward to next year.. as long as we are in this state at least.

The next day, on Saturday, we went to the football game. It was the first game that was early enough for Crew to be able to come and not mess with his bed time too much. It started at 5:30 so I dropped Andrew off a little early to get seats and then Crew and I came right at kick off. Again the headphones were amazing!! The first quarter the sun was right in our faces so I stood behind the stands in the shade, which I actually enjoyed more too, and we watched the big screen. Second quarter we were able to watch the game then during half time I tried to find somewhere to feed him that was a little more private. I was SHOCKED to find that one of the bathrooms actually had a place for moms to go. They had a couple changing tables and chairs to feed in. It was perfect. There were a lot of moms in there feeding, comforting, and changing babies. Thank you BYU for being so considerate!

Afterwards I was able to walk around with Crew in the carrier and with the head phones on and he fell asleep. FOR THE REST OF THE GAME! I'm telling you it was awesome and I'm a major believer in those head phones. I'm so glad it went well. It was a great game. BYU won so it was perfect!! Overall it was just an awesome weekend and I thought I would finally blog about a specific event! Love stuff like this. We are so happy to be here in Provo and be able to attend so many awesome events. I love showing Crew all the wonderful things in this world!

love, alex&andrew

Graduation from BYU!

Hi.
Hey.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm pretty great myself. It has been a crazy two months. Like life changing, goal reaching crazzzzzy.
GUYS. I graduated. Like one of the two MAJOR goals in my life has been accomplished. the second one is to be a mommy. BUT the first one has gotten a big fat check next to it.
It actually feels pretty surreal. I'm not sure how to feel about it. Technically I was done in December but I took one more class that actually didn't affect me graduating at all but actually walking at graduation and going through the motions and not having any class at all really has made me realize that I AM DONE! obviously I am not done done. My education will continue for the rest of my life but that good old bachelors of mine is DONE! hallllllleeeeelujjjjjah. It feels great. But now what do I do???
I feel like I should be getting a big girl job and know everything I need to know. But I am not really planning on that right now, unless I find one in Rexburg, and I definitely don't know everything. I actually feel like I don't know enough to graduated. When everyone started graduating I saw this picture floating around.

I am so glad that I am not the only one that feels this way!
Graduation was wonderful though. The weekend before graduation Andrew and I's friend, Sydnee got married to Parker. We had been hanging out with them for the past few months and the weeks leading up to their wedding we were always over at the Turnbull's house helping with wedding stuff. I had SO MUCH FUN helping! It was a blast getting crafty and really seeing all of Sydnee's amazing ideas come together. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was perfection! We are so happy for them and could not be more excited that Sydnee found such an amazing guy. Parker is the sweetest guy and a lot of fun to hang out with. We just couldn't be more excited for them.
The Sorensen's were in town for the wedding so the morning after the reception we loaded up the moving van (we were already exhausted from the reception but we pulled through) and headed to Rexburg. That night we also unloaded! It was an exhausting weekend to say the least but I am glad we got it done so quickly and efficiently!

Andrew started school that Monday so we stayed until Thursday morning and then headed back down to Provo for graduation! My mom was in Rexburg to drop Emily off at BYU-I so we just drove down with her, Lisa and Aaron and then our dads flew in and met us at the Turnbulls.

Thursday was just Commencement and Friday was the Convocation.  On Thursday everyone that was graduating just walked into the Marriott Center and we listened to the speaker. I loved when they had everyone stand up and then they said Congratulations you have all graduated. and they pretty much conferred us as graduates. It was the moment of AH I did it! this is SO cool! Afterwords we went to Jdawgs because I needed food asap and who doesn't like a good hot dog slathered in special sauce! Then we went to the BYU volleyball game!

On Friday the ladies woke up and went to this awesome fabric store and scored some sweet stuff and then I had to RUN to graduation. haha I was about 25 minutes late. Luckily I had to be there an hour earlier so me being late wasn't that big of a deal, I just didn't have to wait around as long as everyone else did. But I sure was nervous.

All 2014 Graduates, Friends and Family. Crazy! 

When we all walked into the Marriott Center it was so cool to see all of the graduates friends and family standing and cheering us on. They had helped us come so far. On both days I had my phone with me and was texting Andrew about where they were so I was able to find them pretty quickly.

Right before walking into the Marriott Center, Selfie.

I was nervous but also really excited to walk across the stage! When they called my name I just felt all giddy and excited that it was actually happening. I went and shook the hand of two guys I didn't know and was handed the envelope my degree would go in. I HAD DONE IT! I did do it! It was amazing. I heard my family screaming for me. Andrew especially. Then as I walked off the stage I found my mom amongst the people on the side lines taking a picture of their graduate as they walk off the stage. I loved seeing her. She was such a big help in me achieving this goal. Both my parents were.

Right after I walked off the stage!

After I got my degree this is where I sat and listened 

Right after I sat down from walking across the stage, selfie

Waiting on the other graduates to get their degree was pretty boring. I was ready to go see my family. When we walked out to leave I just cut over to my family and stayed with them. Andrew got me a BYU sock monkey!! Ever since I worked at the bookstore I told him I wanted a sock monkey for our future monkey. Then when I was graduating I jokingly told him I wanted it for graduation. So when I walked up to him he gave it to me! I thought it was so funny he remembered but so sweet. And he got me a lei. what a sweetie.

I kinda love this picture. haha he was putting the lei on me. 

My BYU Monkey! 

I love this cutie! 

After taking pictures and maneuvering the crowd we headed to our favorite little run down Mexican place, Beto's. YUMMMMY. This is one of those places we are really going to miss not having. So good. and so cheap. and there was no crowd or wait. Which was really good cause I was starving again after eating only a few cheerios that morning. What was I thinking?! Then we headed to the bookstore for some shopping and then on to more food at Waffle Love. OH SO GOOD. seriously. If I wasn't so full I would have stuffed my face. They have the greatest dessert waffles around.

Selfies on the way to the car! 

It was a marvelous weekend. I loved having my parents in town and Andrew's parents. I felt so much love and support. It was hard to say goodbye and see everyone leave and then head back to Idaho.

Oh hey I GRADUATED! 

He is so good looking. 

The best parents ever! 

My biggest supporters. 

Now that we are here we are getting into the swing of things again. I have been organizing, making swimming suits, relaxing, and looking for a job. Andrew has been going to school and working hard. I actually just got a part time job at the Down East in Idaho Falls. I am really excited because I have always wanted to work there. It is not as many hours as I want but there is potential for more and I can still try and find a second job. So if you know of any send them my way, please and thank you!

And that is us. Exciting things happening. It is slowing down now. Just starting the job for me, school for Andrew, and trying to get over a dang cold that has me wanting to sleep all the time.

Hope you all have a great week.
love, alex&andrew

A little catching up

Obviously I haven't posted in a while. It was nice cutting out things that weren't necessary in my life but now I don't get to look back and see what we did the past few months and my thoughts on it all. And that makes me kinda sad. Which is why I think I am going to start posting again. I have had the ache for it the past couple weeks and just never have. So here we go.

It has been a weird past two months. Not being a full-time student and not working full-time or even part time, err kinda... I have felt pretty lazy. Like I need to be doing more and accomplishing more to fill satisfied with my days. Some days it has been amazing to have no set responsibilities and to sleep in until whenever I feel like getting up and other days it has felt very unsatisfying and depressing.

Last semester being a full time student was hard. The first two months of school I thought I was going to mentally break down. and lets be honest all I really had to do was pass my classes and I would be fine so really there was nothing to stress about. But when I get all the information of what I am supposed to do in a three month period it kinda freaks me out. Okay maybe it freaks me out a lot. and I panic. and its super annoying when you have no idea what the teacher is asking of you or how they grade so you are just trying to figure it all out... Yea thats how September and October went.

Then when the assignments were graded and tests were taken I felt like, ok I can do this. what was I freaking out about? and it turned out to be an awesome semester. The class that I started out hating turned out to be one of my favorite classes.

I learned a ton about families and a little about art and sewed like crazy.

We also traveled a lot... Is that a surprise to anyone? thats kinda what we do.

Andrew's brother Aaron went to BYU-Idaho for his first semester. Lisa, their mom took him up there so naturally we thought we would tag along and see how it went.

The next weekend was Anna's baby shower so of course we had to go to that as well.

When October hit it was time for haunting season. I am pretty sure that is the only thing Andrew misses about Idaho, being able to haunt at the straw maze for the whole month of October. Luckily the past two years the owners have welcomed him back whenever he wants because he is just that good. and trust me I have had enough experience to know that he is really good at scaring people. So we went two more times in October. Hanging out with Anna, Jordan, Justina, Curtis, Taeden, and Caleb, along the way. We even went to the Apple orchard and picked apples.

Andrew was pretty excited about his costume this year!
I think it turned out pretty awesome. 

In October we also welcomed home our dear friend Clayton who was on a mission in New Zealand and we had to say goodbye to our dear friend Chris who left on his mission to Peru. What great guys and awesome examples of leading a Christ like life and having Christ like love. I'm so proud of both of them and glad to call them as our friends.

Of course we went to a ton of BYU Football games. Andrew waited in lines hours before the doors opened to get us a good seat. And he sure did do a great job. Every game we had awesome seats! The BYU vs. Texas game was probably the most crazy game. Andrew waited in line for a few hours and it was pretty hot out. I got there before the gates opened and waited with him. A little before the game started this HUGE and pretty scary looking storm cloud came rolling in. It started pouring and lightning and thunder. It was CRAZY. All the students were dancing in the stands. Then we decided it would be best to seek cover so we hung out under the bleachers for a while. When the rain finally did stop we took our seats and we were freezing and the game was delayed! Our friends Logan and Alex went and got warm clothes so we had them pick us up some. But it was still a pretty cold game BUT BYU did awesome! and we ended up winning the game! YAY. Afterwords, Andrew and I went to our favorite little run down Mexican place. We were riding the scooter home and all of the sudden the tire blew out! Luckily Andrew stomped his foot down saving us from falling over and probably getting very hurt and a lot of road rash! (I sure am grateful for that guy!) We ended up parking the scooter in a lot and walking home.. still being a little wet and cold! Andrew did something to his foot, he never went to the doctor, just wrapped it and was really careful for the next few days. That was such a crazy day though!

Before the game.. notice how clear the sky is! 

The storm coming in! 

After the game! We WON! 

In November our first nephew on Andrew's side of the family was born! Ryder Jay Parson, on November 4th 2013! So of course we had to make a trip to Idaho to see him right away! He is the cutest little guy. I am obssesed with him. We got lots of snuggles in with him that first week of his life and then again during Thanksgiving time when all the Sorensen's went to Idaho for the week. We had a great time relaxing, playing with the dogs, snuggling the baby, snowboarding, skinning a deer and eating lots of food!

Then on the way home we HIT a deer! AH! I actually had no idea what happened, I was looking down at my phone and just heard a clunk and saw some things fly up over our hood. I thought maybe it was a small animal but not a deer! Well we pulled over and it was definitely a deer. Andrew said he saw it coming across the road and we barely hit it. The poor thing was almost out of the road and then it hit the corner of the passenger side of the car. We couldn't even find it afterwords! I am glad though that we could still drive the car and that Andrew handled it so well. He didn't swerve or do anything crazy but he was very safe about it. Luckily his parents were right behind us as well so they pulled over and the guys made it so we could still drive the car and not ruin our tire.

In December of course I was crazy with finals and finishing school. We also celebrated Andrew's 24 birthday! We went shopping, saw Frozen, and ate delicious food at Tucano's. That week we also saw Marilee and went to Savior of the World with her and her kids. It was a beautiful performance!! I would love to go every year if we live here!

The end of December we spent with my Family in Kansas. We celebrated Christmas and the New Year by playing games, eating lots of food, shopping, going to a KU game and exploring Kansas. It was a wonderful time seeing family and making life long memories.

Nowadays Andrew is working full time as a property manager, which right now includes helping to move a 16,000 sq ft house. Needless to say he is a busy, hard working guy. I am being a little house wife, cooking, cleaning, blogging, and pinteresting (thats in the description right?). I have been making lots of YouTube videos and trying to start a children's swimsuit business! (I'll talk more about those two later) We are going to all the last basketball games of the season and watching as much of the Olympics as possible, or that I can stand ;) I am also taking an intro to entrepreneurship class. It is wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone! It is inspiring and really opens my mind to the possibilities that are before me.

For Valentines weekend we went to St. George with Richard and Lisa and our friends Logan and Alex to relax and enjoy a little warmer weather. We were shopping, riding, watching the olympics, of course eating lots of good food, and visiting family.

It has been a great past few months. Busy but wonderful! We are certainly looking forward to more traveling and warmer weather!

and if you read all of this good job. That was a long one!

love, alex&andrew

Beginning of the End

This week I went to my last first day of school. It was bitter sweet. But I was thinking, 'Let's be honest, this won't be me last day of taking classes, just my last first day of my bachelors degree.'

It was my last first day from all of those first days, from kindergarten until now. This is what it all leads up to, a college education. Yes I could go on to get a masters or whatever else I want but this is what I have dreamed of for years.

I made a promise to myself that I would finish my bachelors degree. And even though some days I would ask myself 'why am I even doing this?' I know that it will be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I think about being done with school and it scares me. I don't know what to do without school. I do not know what life is without school. School has always been there, so when it ends and something new begins, it is going to be a scary and an exciting transition.

At this point I don't know what I will do after graduation but I am really excited about it and I can't wait to see what it brings.

This is going to be a great but hard semester. I'm taking two family classes and those are what will make this semester difficult. They are going to make me think and grow and become such a better person but the amount of work I need to put into them is going to be challenging. Then I am taking an art history class for my minor in visual arts and that is going to be even more difficult. The memorizing and studying is what gets me scared. The class is interesting and I am excited to learn about it all but I am not excited for the tests!

Then I am auditing a pattern making class. I already took a pattern making class at BYUI but I wanted to learn more and we never learned draping at BYUI whereas here we will work on it for three weeks.

My last class is a tailoring class. At first I was just going to audit that one too but I found a way that I can make it a 3 credit class instead of a 2 credit class so that I can use it to graduate in December and not have to take another class.

It is going to be a great semester full of learning and growing and I am really excited about it. I hope it isn't going to be as crazy as I expect it to be and I can balance all of the reading and studying with the creating and sewing.

wish me luck!
love,alex

Date Night

Andrew and I love our date nights. Getting out of the house. Doing something different and just spending some good old time together with no other worries. It is the best. I love Friday and Saturday and sometimes random days of the week, nights that we get to spend good quality time together. We have done a lot of that lately.

We have gone to a few BYU baseball games which has really been fun and made it feel like full on summer. and we went to the BYU Rugby game for the national championship. That was a.w.e.s.o.m.e. I decided that I really like that sport and I am sad we didn't go to more before the season was over. We won so that was great. Andrew and I sat in general admissions and it was on the field. When they scored we were like 2 yards away from them. It was INTENSE. What a rough game. Making it so crazy to watch!

Another night we went to the batting cages and played mini golf. I had never gone to the batting cages so that was an exciting and nerve wrecking event. Andrew hadn't gone in years and was really excited about it. Once I got in there and hit a few it got exciting and fun! We need to go back more so I can get a little practice though, I am definitely not that great!

We have become big fans of this place called Provo Beach. It has a lot of cool stuff you can do like simulated golf, bowling, croquet, surfing/body boarding, pine wood durby racing, and arcade games. We have only played the arcade games twice but we plan to try a couple more fun things there soon! When we went the first time we played on the basketball game most of the time. It was cheap and we had a ton of fun playing it. This last time we went back and we were pretty sure they jacked up the price on the game so we just played it a couple times and then went and checked how many tickets we had accumulated over the last time and this one. We were really surprised to see we had 906 tickets. (the basketball game also got us A LOT of tickets)

Jokingly I asked the guy how much the stuffed dog was because he was so cute! I assumed he would be 1200 or more tickets, cause they like to kill you like that. The guy surprised us by saying it was 950 tickets! Thats like 2 basketball games! So of course I told Andrew he had to play a few more times and of course he was excited to.

And I got my dog :) we named him Travis and he is adorable. and I now need a real dog so I don't look like a freak petting and calling for my fake dog.

Recently we went and saw Fast & Furious 6, which was awwwwesome btw, and ate sweet tooth fairy treats. I got a cookie and andrew got a cupcake shake which I kept stealing because it was SO good. 

We love hanging out together and spending time doing things we love. It has been fun trying new things together and experiencing it all together. I love it. Hope you all have a wonderful week! 

love,alex&andrew 

Let's Talk..

It has been a crazy semester. I feel that it has gone so quickly but slowly but quicker than fall semester. It has been one great semester. I have actually really enjoyed it. But it is really nice to almost have it behind me. I have one semester left and one internship/class left. Let's chat about that...

So about a month ago I sent out my resume to those businesses that I wanted to intern at. I was reallllllly nervous and then when I got a reply saying that they wanted to interview me and I needed to bring in my past work, thats when I really started to freak out!

I hate applying for jobs and interviewing and putting my work out there. I just would rather not do those adult like things. or just get a job with out even applying (now thats the easy life)

I had been talking with the internship coordinator for like 4 months by now and figuring out what I should do and when to talk to people and such, so I was feeling pretty prepared.

My dream internship was Shabby Apple.
Now if you don't know what that is you should go google it and go drool over all of their dresses. I have loved them since.. probably sometime in High School when I found out who they were. I just love how sophisticated, feminine, and modest EVERYTHING they make is. And they are here in Utah which is nice so that we don't have to move for just four months.

So I applied for their internship position.
and was scared.
and nervous.
and excited.

and then they replied saying they would love to bring me on as an Intern!

I honestly could not believe it and still can't at this point. I keep thinking something is going to happen to make it so it doesn't all work out. That is why I really haven't told many people.
You would think I would be shouting this on the roof tops but honestly I have kept it pretty quiet over here until everything has been finalized.


And I can officially say that in a little over two weeks I will start interning at Shabby Apple.
I am beyond words excited.
Happy.
Thrilled.
Scared.
Nervous.
Can't Wait to get it started.

I will be working on pattern work, sample making, sourcing fabric, assisting, and anything else they might need.

So now you know! I am nervous to start working in the sewing/fashion industry but I am excited to start something new and so amazing.

This is going to be one GREAT summer. I can already tell.
I will also be taking a Swim wear/ Knits class which I am also beyond excited about.
Then it is just one more semester to go and I will graduate!!! YIPPIE!

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!
love, alex

Currently I am..

Listening: To the TV and husband talking

Eating: Just ate half of a yummy pumpkin spice muffin

Drinking: A nice glass of cold milk

Wearing: jeans, hoodie, and an apron so that I don't get paint on myself.

Feeling: Happy & Creative

Weather: Night time and realllllly cold.

Wanting: a large rectangle chalkboard.. and the skills to write beautiful words on them.

Needing: A blanket, I'm cold.

Thinking: I am really ready for the paint to dry on the project I am working on right now so I can finish working on it. SO glad I am doing something crafty.

Enjoying: Spending a lot of the day with my husband, exploring Costco and Walmart. and being crafty and making some decor for Christmas that says Noel :) Pictures to come.


Tuesday I took my last test until finals. Guys, that is HUGE in my mind. now I only have 4 tests until the end of the semester. WOW. one semester down and 3 more to go! I can't believe it sometimes.
So no tests soon means life is good and I have time to do the things I love. Like crafting or spending looots of time with husband or watching lots of episodes of white collar with husband. and because of the nice little large snow storm we got last weekend husband isn't working as much which is good for spending time together :)
and guess what?? Thanksgiving is next week!!! YAY! I think I may have checked out of school already.. I am just so excited for a longer break than just two days, and good food, and family time. It is going to be greeeeat!

What are you happy about today?
love,alex&andrew

p.s. basketball season has started and I loooove it. We have already gone to two BYU games and I love being in the students section. This last game we got really close and I won two down-east shirts. how great is that?? and if they get over 80 points you get 5 ounces of froyo. needless to say I feel like we will be visiting yogurtland often. I love being apart of the student section and calling it my "own." this is my school. i looove it :)

A Wonderful Labor Day

School started. Andrew started working and all of the awesome events that we have been looking forward to are starting to slip by. Where does the time go?? It is just crazy to me how fast time goes one moment but then other times I can't wait for weeks to go by and they go as slow as possible. I guess that is life and we just need to LOVE it. and we do. life is great right now. really really great. (I think I am in a good mood..ha)

Thursday the 30th we went to our very first BYU football game of the season. It was wonderful. I am falling in love with this school.

Wowoooo so Labor day weekend was great. Relaxing but a BALL. Andrew and I were definitely ready for a little break after our first week of school and work (Andrew especially). Saturday we got some much needed sleep and then I went to a bridal shower for this cute girl named Alex. Small world I know. and more on that cuteness later :)

Sunday we went to our new ward for the first time. eeek. it was good. other than the 8am thing we are still trying to deal with. guys, it is hard. I think Heavenly Father is testing every single person in that ward asking us to be there that early. But I like it already. The girls all seem really nice and I feel like Andrew is liking it too. This week we found out that two people from my stake back home are in our ward. yup small world again. it is fun being in a ward with so many kiddos. I like that its not just dead quiet in the meetings :)

Do you see the temple??

Sunday afternoon we went over to the Turnbulls for Sunday dinner. we like this group of people a lot. and they are our only friends right now ;) ha so we hung out with them and had fun. and at 10:00pm we decided we would hike the Y. and the reason being was for Andrew & I's two year anniversary which started at midnight!  Now I had never done it so I was pretty up for it and excited and so was everyone else. It was a beautiful night. But man is that hike hard. maybe cause I am so outta shape! the whole thing us up hill but once you get to the top it is magnificent. I guess I never realized that the whole thing was up hill..I don't know why cause it is in the middle of a mountain..ha










Needless to say it was awesome. I am falling in LOVE with this city.

Well Monday was our anniversary and because we are starving college students we had a pretty relaxed but fun day. In the morning we went over to the Turnbulls because Amanda decided to paint her new car. Its an old little guy but we made it new and awesome! We took some time trying to get the right base color and painted that on, which is a beautiful sky blue I might add, and then we had the real fun!














                                                                                   



We flung tons of different colors of paint ALL OVER it.
AWESOME, right? yes! it was so much fun and I am pretty jealous now of this hot rod she has. oh and did I mention the door handles, rims, side trim, and windshield wipers are GOLD. yes she is now the cooolest kid at school. or at least in my book she is :)


















































After this lovely adventure we met up with Justina, Curtis, and the babies. They were visiting his family that weekend in Layton and it was a perfect time to come see us as well and go to Cabela's. I loved seeing my two little boys. and my sister and brother in law of course.

THIS FACE. AH I caught him at the perfect moment. 

 So we played with them for a while and then went to dinner at Tokyo. yup we went to Tokyo. But really its one of those places they cook in front of you. I had never gone and it was a perfect day to try something new and awesome. Of course I loooved it. and so did everyone else. Taeden especially loved the fire being right in front of him and all the crazy tricks the chef was doing. Then we decided we needed some really good dessert so we headed to The Cheesecake Factory. Oh my I am droooling just thinking about it. YUM yum YUM.

Future hunter like daddy? 

After saying our goodbyes to the babies and adults Andrew and I ended the night at the movies where we saw Nitro Circus. It was actually awesome. and I will admit I loved it. and of course andrew did :)

Obviously it was an awesome weekend. it was hard to go back to school and work but it was a great break. Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend two weeks ago :)
love,alex&andrew
