HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...

MY WONDERFUL HUBBY - BRENT!!!

Brent had his 27th Birthday yesterday!

Brent asked for the lemon cake his mom used to make. I tried so hard to scourer the web for a recipe that sounded close. It turned out really good and I think he liked it. Brent told me that I couldn't put candles on his cake this year.. unless it was the number 9. I laughed so hard but ultimately decided that it would work because 2+7 =9. I bought Brent a really fun game for the PS3 called "Little Big Planet". I am so excited to learn how to play and play together.

Sunday night we had my cousins Ryan & Melanie Sorensen and their cute kids over for dinner and cake. We had so much fun watching them play on the wii fit. I totally wish I would have recorded Ryan and his son Taylor hoola-hooping. It was so funny. I really love getting together with them and growing our relationship. They will actually be moving to Page, Arizona soon. I am really excited for them but will miss them terribly!

On his birthday we celebrated with our friends Kim & Anna -who's Birthday was the day before, so we had a double party. We had really yummy food. Everyone really liked the cake I made! We played games and talked for the rest of the night. I am so glad to gain a good friendship with Kim and Anna. They are really awesome people!

Below are a few pictures (sorry I didn't get more) - enjoy!

Our 4 Year Anniversary

Has it really been 4 years already?

Being married to my best friend has been wonderful! Sure we have our ups and downs... but it has truly been 4 wonderful years!

To celebrate we started out by spending the night before in a suite at the Marriott (thanks again to Ryan) here in Cedar City. We ate lasagna and had sparkling grape juice. Brent took me to the movie "Duplicity", and we had a wonderful time just cuddling and being with each other. We woke in the morning and headed down to St. George. We got there close to noon and since we didn't really wake up in time to eat breakfast, we were pretty hungry. The Olive Garden was so good, especially because we had a gift card thanks to a Christmas present from Brent's sister Cait. Afterward we headed out to Fiesta Fun for miniature golf. We drove the go-karts twice, and played multiple games of golf. I won once and I am pretty sure Brent won all the rest. It was so much fun! I loved being able to spend the whole day with Brent without worrying about anything!

Later that day we went to the mall to get Orange Julius's and to browse. We had a Primerica meeting that night so we postponed the fun till after. The meeting went longer than expected but we learned a lot. We really can't wait to be able to help people! After the meeting we headed home. Brent surprised me by stopping at Walmart to pick up a copy of Wii fit! We stayed up till 2 in the morning playing and exercising!

For our gifts Brent decided he wanted some motivational Cd's so that is what he got. Brent surprised me with the movie "Pretty in Pink", the Twilight soundtrack, and a Twilight poster!

All in all it was an awesome Anniversary! I look forward to many more! Below are some pictures of us just having a blast!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
