Baby Boy Forrey!

Yep you have heard that right! We have decided to expand our little family. Bronco (After the DENVER BRONCOS) is the newest addition to our family. We sure do love this little guy. We got him the week of Thanksgiving. He is a Mini Schnauzer. He will get to about 10 lbs. When we took him for his check up last week he was 1 pound. He is doing so good at crate training and potty training!

He love to play with plastic and cardboard... Just to compare his size a Sour Cream!

Las Vegas

We ended up taking some of the USU Aviation planes down to Vegas for the Aviation Nation Air Show! It was so much fun to get to be with Cameron in his plane on a cross country flight. He did so good and I'm so proud of him! We spent the weekend and had so much fun getting away from the Logan cold. My friend Cassee had just had her little boy and I really wanted to try and get ahold of her to come visit but don't have her current number. So I'll have to make another trip to see ya!

Nummy Pumpkin Cookies

Just wanted to share my FAVORITE Pumpkin Cookie Recipe. SO EASY! 1 Box Spice Cake Mix & a Regular Can Pumpkin! and Chocolate Chips - As Desired. Mix all together and bake @ 350-375 for about 12-15 minutes. Just watch them when it's getting close. I sure a tooth pick!

Sept. 12th - One Year

I can't believe how fast our first year of marriage has flown by. We were able to go up to Snowbird and stay at my parents condo for the weekend! So much fun! We bought all day passes to do everything there on the mountain. What a great way to spend our day together and enjoy nature. My dad had bought his Corvette that day and drove up to show us and took us to dinner at a really nice place! Thanks again Dad for dinner and the free room! LOVE YOU!

Summer in Hawaii

Sorry it has taken so long to get anything posted from our summer in Hawaii. We've got a total of 900+ pictures so I just took a few to post on our blog. When my parents and our friend Jeff came out to visit the last week we went around the Island of Oahu and then over to Maui for a few days. One of the stops we made was at the Polynesian Cultural Center. What an amazing place! I can't believe how well organized it is and all the dancers and different cultures. My Aunt and Uncle went on their mission a few years back to start the banana tree farm for the PCC so that was a must see for us.

We also stopped at the Laie Temple. Wish we could have done a session but it is totally gutted! There were boards on the windows and everything. It won't be up and running until next year!

They have more than one type of tour you can do at Pearl Harbor. I totally suggest the USS Missouri. We ended up spending almost three hours there. It was amazing to go into the ship and see all the different rooms and what not. It makes you understand more that when those shipped were bombed and sunk that it would be almost impossible to find your way out. I can't wait to go back and get to do the Bowfin tour!


The USS Arizona Memorial is awesome. Cameron and I got to do it more than once. The video that is shown is really touching and a tear jerker! A must see if you are the Island of Oahu! and it's FREE!!! We also got a flag that was flown over the USS Arizona on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

While in Maui we "SURVIVED" the Road to Hana! I had heard that is was a really bad and windy road.. but that is an understatement! My dad drove and I told him I'll back him up for the next 15 years that he is a good driver and I won't let anyone take his license away!! haha But what a beautiful drive! To be down in the rain forest was so amazing! I can't wait to go back and do it again. We hiked into waterfalls and jumped off them into nature pools. Cameron became famous with the tourists as the guy that fell of one of them! He really did... HE ATE IT!

Lahaina was a fun little town to visit. My favorite thing there was the Huge Banyan Tree and the local guys we met that did the carvings we all got. "Got to support those hard working Return Missionaries"

Iao Valley was really so beautiful and the temperature up there was amazing! We got lots of cool pictures with the clouds down around the "Needle". We hiked for aways off the trail into the really thick forest where if you were lost you would never be seen!

Hanamua Bay was located on Oahu. We had lots of our athletes go there. Cameron and I ended up going 3 times! I really came to love snorkeling.. even though I'm not a big fan of the salt water (because I swallowed so much my first time snorkeling) While my parents and Jeff were there we went for a couple of hours to get some sun and see some fish. I couldn't get my mom to put her face in the water but my dad walked with her in the shallow and they saw lots of fish. So I count it as a success for all of us!

Waikiki was our home for the summer. It's a really busy city with lots of crazy people. Lots of places to eat, shop, and get drunk. Cameron and I ate at lots of different places but we found a favorite called Blazin Steaks - If you end up in Waikiki ever.. it's a street behind the Hyatt near the corner. LOVE IT!

We had a long summer with lots and lots of work. And some good playing! It was really nice to have my parents and Jeff come to spend that free week with us! I wouldn't have done it any other way! Thanks again for coming to play. Cameron fell in love with Hawaii and never wanted to leave. I on the other hand enjoyed it but has never been so happy to come back home! I'll have to go back in the winter sometime so give a real judgment because I hate the humidity and it's suppose to be much nicer not during the summer months. I'll do my best to do better now that I have my good internet back and a way to dump my pictures. Love you all!

Hawaii!

So today is our official one month mark for being in Hawaii. I can't believe it's already been that long. I guess time sure goes fast when you are working as much as we are. We have some busy, busy, busy days mixed with a slow one now and again. I think I average about 18 Hrs a day. There were a few nights in a row that I was up for the most part up all night and took a cat nap before I needed to be in the Lobby at 7am. So I know I said I have all these pictures to post. And I do! I've been trying all week, but something is wrong with my camera. It won't dump my photos off with the cable I have. I think where it connects has officially broken :( Hint Hint Dad :) So this photo will have to do. It's the view from the place WE'VE BEEN CALLING HOME. Well not really home just the hotel. We are both getting anxious to get back to our regular lives and be back to our little townhome. Hope all is well and I'll get some better pictures posted when we get back to Utah.
