HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY!!

On Friday Brady and I celebrated our two year anniversary. We ate at Johnny Carinos and then went to this sweet black light mini golf course. Brady wished this was a real bike.

And this is what we were seeing with the black lights on.
Our monkey friend
The carpet was totally wigging us out. it looked so uneven. i'm suprised i didn't fall down just from walking on it.
On Saturday Brady and I went to idaho ice world and went ice skating and watched high school ice hockey.

Good thing that Brady is good at ice skating, cuz i looked like a fool. Brady doing the Chaz Michael Michael's dance.

We got front row seats at the steelheads game saturday night. Best believe we were banging on the glass with the rest of the holigans every time they scored (which was 4 times! we won 4-1 :)

Sporting our FREE steelheads hats

Nothing better than cake-batter icecream with brownies and cookie-dough to end the day!!

V-DAY

Happy V-day to us!! Brady's parents went all out and got all the kiddos wiis. i'd like to say that we have used self control while i'm getting ready for my National Boards and studied instead of played but that is definantly not the case. We are already Pros on golf, bowling, and tennis :)

Cade LOVES the wii! (or at least the wii controller)

Our first night playing the wii with shane and amy jo.

GO Broncos! We went to a b-ball game for v-day. as you can see the little boys are the only ones paying attention to the game.

Home made cold stone. mmmm

The finished product!

Shout out to my sister-in-law Debbie!!

Jeremy and Debbie found out yesterday that they are having a BOY!!! I babysat Clayton, their 4 year old, while they were at the ultrasound.

We made this sweet sign in celebration of the occasion.
and then we made sugar cookies with BLUE frosting.

Clayton was an excellent sprinkler... until he found out he could shake them into his mouth :)

This is Clayton dancing in excitement!! and maybe a little bit on a sugar high.

The end product. I love the blue frosting all over his mouth!

We love you Jeremy and Debbie and we are so excited for you!!!

Special Olympics World Winter Games!!

Brady and I thought we'd take advantage of the opportunity of having athletes from all over the world here in boise. We watched a few of the events throughout the week including: floor hockey, speed skating, and figure skating. These pics are from the figure skating. Standing next to an ice sculpture while in line to get in the quest arena. We had to walk through metal detectors and the whole shabang since Jo Biden was coming.
In the bleachers

The athletes were so amazing. It was so much fun to watch.

They locked us in the quest arena til the Vice President was back in his motorcade. We seriously waited like 45 min and missed our institute class. It was pretty crazy and this is only one side of the mob!

We're in Portland!

We drove to Portland for Brady to interview with a Pharmacy school this weekend. Since Scott and Oksana live there we knew it would turn into a vacation. They showed us the town in style!

This is the YUKI Japanese restaurant that we didn't eat at! Who would want to eat yucky food?Here we are in the wonderful rail cars of Portland after we walked the boutiques.
Rail cars are so much fun!

Southeast Asian food was right up Brady's ally.

I have honestly never had such diverse food in my life.

Of course Triple Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Truffle Cake, and Baked Alaskan Cake is on our diet!

Cross-Country Skiing in Island Park

Most of the Gang: My sister Jaylynn, sister-in-law Oksana, and friends Coleman and Carlie.

Carlie and I actually succeeded in making our husbands come!

Here is Brady loving every minute of it.

There was a little village at the end of the trail.

It was gorgeous. I would highly recommend it to everyone!
