WE HAVE LOST OUR COOKIES!
So we saw this activity on America's Funniest Videos and decided to try it out for ourselves. I hope you can laugh at us just as much as we did at each other! haha So it wouldn't load up to big, but you can go to our facebook page and see it! IT IS HILARIOUS!

Summer Vaca
We finally made it back to Utah but it went by way to fast for our liking! We start our vacation with a family trip to the living aquarium ( I kept calling it a planitarium... oops lol) The coolest thing there was the sting rays and penguins. I loved spending time with the fam! Carter wasn't so willing to let us take his pic :) Dax loved watching the sting rays and Daws loved the penguins and kept asking me what does this say what does this say :)
My family reunion was on our first year anniversary. Haha but it was awesome. We played flog where Schyler and I became the champs and went four wheeling. Dawson was awesome on the four wheeler! We had so much fun!
My cousin killed this badger. It was near the wood pile outside of my grandparents cabin.
It was our anniversary and Schyler tried to surprise me with this room. We stayed at this hotel and saw this room on our honeymoon it was amazing. The bed was huge, Schy almost fell trying to get up. lol
The following week we went with Schyler's family camping at Pineview Resevoir. This has become a family tradition and was an exciting year. Schyler was finally able to ski somewhat (he's hurt his back so he's had to take it easy) after three summers of not skiing (last summer he had shoulder surgery). He's shoulder did hold up. This is him showing off his moves.
This is me trying to copy my husband lol I didn't do so well
The last morning we got up to ski D-rel got smacked by the ski, it wasn't happy he was trying to show off to us all. lol jk
This is the whole gang eating at the Oaks. We eat here every year after a week of camping.
After the week of camping we went to Mesquite with my family and decided to have a little competition amongst the group. Meesha and Schyler were a team. There team name was Scheesh. My mother and Stevie were a team and they were known as Razzeam. My dad and I were a team and dominated as Do-Uglee:) We had a blast and won bowling because my dad scored a 193 on his last game. he was on fire!
Schyler and I finally were able to eat our top of our wedding cake. It actually wasn't to bad, a little dry but it wasn't to bad.
This is my BEAUTFIUL grandmother.
This is my awesome nephew Daxen. The night before I left I taught him to give the "dirty look" and this is the creation. Isn't he freak'n hilarious? haha he was a stud
We wish we were still in Utah spending time with our family but we only have a year left of school and hopefully that will fly by with ease. We did get our air conditioner installed which is AWESOME! Schyler wasn't the happiest guy putting it in but he did an amazing job and I am so happy I have a cold house. i don't know if I was going to be able to last another day! I love it!

We're BACK!! hahaha
No we did not drop off the face of the earth although sometimes being locked up in the chemistry lab or the library kinda makes me feel like I did. We are finally finished with school for the spring semester. However I am doing summer school so I can take some extra biology courses. This semester was a lot more stressful for me and a lot less stressful for Schyler. He decided to lighten his load for schooling because of work and I cranked it on. I enjoyed this semester but I am SOOO happy it is finally finished, it should be smooth sailing from here on out.... at least I hope.
Some new facts:
I am doing my corporate fitness practicum so I am working at two fitness centers: ASK(Accelerated Kinectics Training) where I train athletes from 7-18 years of age. It has been fun and the best part is I get to workout when I am done so it really motivates me to workout. MSU fitness Center where I train older individuals. I only have one right now but love doing it. In June I will start at a Cardiac Rehab center and hopefully I will be able to see an open heart surgery there.. it will be exciting!
I also have a new job with my others... research for Dr. Bobylev with organic chemistry (leuckart reaction for those who know what that is) and chemistry stockroom. The new job is research with Dr. Schmidt where I will be working with the products of Dr. Bobylev's research and seeing what they do to the body. I am excited to start the new one this upcoming week.
Schyler and I got new mountain bikes... (picture will be coming shortly its not working for some reason) and they are awesome. We went bike riding the other day on a trail you wouldn't expect in ND. N e ways though I crashed twice.... funny story actually so there are some pretty steep hills (short hills) and there is one I just can't seem to get up well n e ways I was infront of schy and of course couldn't make it up it. I always get off of my bike to the left and when I went to go do that I saw schyler coming up on my left side and it scared me so I went to the right lost my balance and fell backwards sliding down the hill. I had to of hit a branch cause it smashed in my Styrofoam on my helmet! THANK GOODNESS FOR HELMETS! Then later on I was trying to go faster cause the trail took me like 45 minutes to get through the first time so I was trying to pick up speed well I came around a corner and realized there was another hill so I went to go shift and it kinda threw me of balance cause of the lower gear....BOOM! My left handle bar clipped a tree and I went sailing through the air. I kinda wish we would have had a video camera cause that one would have been SWEET!!! hahaha N e ways not finished there so we get into the car after "trying" to look for ticks and I am sitting in the car waiting for schyler to get out of subway when i feel this thing crawling on my leg! AHHHHH!!! It was a tick so I flick it off of me and realized I couldn't find the sneaky bugger. So I'm looking and looking only to see out of the corner of my eye another tick waiting to attack me, and then there was another one under my seat. I jumped out of the car and waited for my knight in shining armor to save me from those awful things! I did learn some interesting facts:
1. Those things don't die with a stomp like a spider would you have to freak'n do the river dance on them to kill them.
2. They can live up to a year without eating and only feast once a year... so if you think they are going to die in your house like a fly after a few days you got it all wrong.
3. They can't jump (thank heavens!!) they crawl to the edge of blades of grass extend their arms and waiting for their unsuspecting prey!
4. This is just awful to realize... females lay anywhere from 3000 to 5000 eggs! not cool luckily it has to be an their prey... icky!!! so n e ways At home schyler checked his bike shorts only to find one on the inside... hahaha I know where that tick was headed nasty lil' bugger! lol All in all we are safe now... not so sure we want to continue riding that trail but had fun and enjoyed it!
So many of you know I am the Primary music director. It has been fun and this is my latest invention. Schyler and I struggled with it so much so I was way nervous about the Junior primary getting any balls into the holes. Come to find out they ROCKED!! The senior primary had more of a problem... the conclusion is that if you tap the ball the will roll around and drop in a hole due to the creases in the paper but if you hit it with more force it just lands in the back or back corners and stays there. 
We do miss home terribly and wish we were back but hopefully only one more year of this and we can be back in UT... I do love the people here and the warm weather lol

HaPpY V~dAy!
So today of all days my husband is working... I know sad valentines day right? It's not to bad. He came home with a blue ray dirty dancing:), flowers, then made me breakfast this morning! Such an amazing man!!!
Today was my first day fullfilling my new calling Primary Music Director. I've been moved around so much I think they finally figured that they could have a leader who knows all the childrens names. Seriously, the only class I haven't taught in Primary are the new sunbeams, all others covered and accounted for. So today I did a lil' lesson on He Sent His Son. If you know they song you know there are questions then there are answers. So luckily from the help of another chorister's blog I saw the idea Door #1 or Door #2. What you do is have the answers to the questions behind one of the doors and the wrongs behind another.
Then you have a kid choose a door see if they picked the right answer and go ahead with it that way. Since it was valentines day I tried to incorporate that into my lesson. Under each chair was a heart with "way to sing your heart out" written on it. There were five different colored hearts while the others were pink and red. So I choose a color (blue) the one person with that color came up and picked the door. It went well I think, considering it was my first time and I had the stake primary there to watch my every move. lol It was fun. This calling is going to be a lot more time consuming then my other calling but I think just as rewarding. The thing I focused also on which I thought I would share with you all was the importance of Valentines day spiritually. I never really thought of Valentines day as being a spiritual thing but when you think of it you always think of Love. The greatest expression of love ever given to mankind was through the suffering and pain of the atonement. Christ loved us so much that he carried a weight unbearable for all others so that we could return to him. The thing is how do we return that love, do we accept or reject his message. Do we love our families but hate our neighbors? Do we give service only when it's conveniant for us? Do we try be cool with our friends instead of "trying to be cool" to the one who matters most? Our Savior set a pathway before us so that we can follow him and live with him again. So this valentines day think about sharing His Love to all!
