From the beginning...

So I have fallen very behind on my posting lately. There has just been so much going on and little time and or desire to visit the blogging world. I have decided over the next week I will do a few different posts instead of hitting you with one massive post with hundreds of pictures.  I will start from the beginning....

First of June (the 8th to be exact) we celebrated my 23rd birthday.  Jayson took me to my favorite restaurant Tepanyaki and spoiled the heck out of me with all the thoughtful, fabulous gifts he got me.  The best part of it all was he made me a birthday cake all by himself. Frosting from scratch and all!!!

The yummiest cake ever!

We then took a fun gettaway down to St. George.  Jayson and some friends were in the summer games basketball tournament in Cedar City. It was fun to watch him play.

Although the trip was quick (Thursday to Saturday) we had a fun time in the pool and relaxing all day Friday when he didn't have any games.  On our way home we of course had to stop by Cabelas...

My little brother Ty has wanted a puppy SO bad for a really long time.  After Christmas and Easter went by and he hadn't received a puppy he was convinced it was never going to happen.  On our way home from St. George we stopped in Payson (we were following my parents) where my dad had some "business" to take care of.  We all got out and walked into this guys house back to where he had all these puppies.  Ty had no clue what was going on still.. Then my dad said, "Ty, pick one out".  It was the cutest thing to watch as Ty found out and picked his pup.  He started crying because he was so excited!

Talk about the cutest birthday present ever!?

We then celebrated Ty's birthday a couple days later at Texas Roadhouse. 

I can't believe this boy is THIRTEEN! Ty has always been more like my child than my brother.  I say this because when he was born I was 10 years old and at the age where I loved babies.  I spent so much time with him.  He was my little buddy who I did everything with and liked to teach everything I knew to.  He would sleep in my bed every night I was home literally till the day I was married.  We would tell stories and say prayers together and I always just felt like he was my little child.  I can't believe he is a teenager now!! That is just so weird! 

Stay tuned to see how fun our July has been this year!
