Neal and Makensy

So Neal and I are coming up on year number 4 of our marriage. I can not believe it has been that long, but at the same time I feel we have done so much in our four years together that it has gone by so fast.

Here are some pics of Neal and I before we were married. We try to remember all of the little details about when we were dating because they were so fun. Neal and I met in Hatch, Ut for a fourth of July celebration. One of his room mates was already at my house (in Hatch) for the festivities when they invited him to come. So he came and when i say him, I knew I wanted to get to know him. We both were in other relationships at the time, but obviously that didn't stop either of us. When the weekend was over I didn't know that I would really see him again but I was totally wrong. It just so happend that our mutual friends were soon to be engaged and were mine and Neals roomates. Needless to say we spent a lot of time together as friends in a big group. We saw each other everywhere: hanging out with friends, church, ward activities. So after Neal called it quits with his girlfriend and the same with me, we made it a little more official without needing to say it. We were engaged at the end of October, got to visit his parents in PA in December and were married in the St. George Temple for time and all eternity. More photos to come.

Thanksgiving Weekend! 2010

So all these pictures are out of order so I will just explain the goings on of our Thanksgiving Weekend. A few weeks before Thanksgiving I just thought it would be a very low-key day with our little family, Neals parents and maybe a few friends from our ward, but then I called up my Grandparents that are serving a mission in New York and after a few days of contemplating they decided to come. I was so excited to have a few members of my side of the family for Thanksgiving. As Monday , November 22nd came I couldn't decide what I was more excited for: My birthday on Wednesday, Thanksgiving on Thursday, or Black Friday. Then Monday night came and I was talking to my little brother on Skype when we decided he was coming to visit us for a few days. He decided to come Monday night around 9:00pm , drove to Vegas and was on a plane at 6:00 am Tuesday morning. I was so excited that he was able to come see me because he is leaving for two years, in about four weeks, to serve an LDS mission in KOREA. So if he hadn't come to visit I wouldn't have been able to see him before he leaves.

All I can say is Thanksgiving week was such a blast. I got to spend a lot of time with Dex going down town in pitts. and just hanging out. Then got to visit with my cousin Sara and my Grandparents.

Playin'

Neal turned this huge box into a little play house for the girls. They loved playing with it.

Just a cute pic.

I love the Sweet Times!

I love it when they are nice and cuddly with each other. I think it is so cute. They are usually trying to compete with each other with their toys, getting me, etc....So when I snatch up a photo like this, I am in heaven.

Sophees birthday party!

I really can not believe she is three. Since we took Sophee and her friends out on Friday we had a family party on Saturday. A few things I forgot to mention about Sophee in the last post- Sophee is now potty trained, it took us several weeks to master, and she still has to wear a pull-up at night, but she is a big girl. When they terrible threes are worse then the twos, it is true (lol). Sophee has started up on such an attitude that it drives me crazy some days, but at the same time it is really so funny. She comes up with so many random things. Sophee LOVES to dress up. I hardly get her dressed in real clothes because she finds her dress up clothes minutes after I dress her and changes. I can not wait to get her into dance lessons because I know she will do so well. She loves dancing and has this slow pincesslike motion that makes everyone just laugh because its so cute.




Neal and I took Sophee and her two best friends out for a birthday party. We first went to Dennys and had dinner, and then to the dollar theater to see Despicable Me. I think they had a ton of fun.
