Busy as a Bee...

We have had so much fun these past few weeks! A couple weeks ago, Garrett came to town for work. So we all got together and had a blast as usual! Nothing is more fun than when our family gets together!

Tage and Garrett wrestling :)

The boys getting ready for the brawl ha

Since I have had a bit of time on my hands, I decided to go watch Ollie for a few days. It was sooo fun! He is serioulsy to die for. I hate to admit it, but I bawled my eyes out when I had to leave him, pathetic I know. We had so much fun together!! Here is a few pics from the few days of being with him:



Funny faces in the morning!





We went to the park and he LOVED the slide!


Tage and I are on a co-ed softball team with some of our friends. It is sooo much fun! We have only had one game, but it was a blast! We were down 9-1 at one point, but we rallied back and WON! We just needed a little warming up is all :)

We had such a fun weekend this past week! We went hiking, played games, made a fire, and hung out with friends. It was a great time!

The Boys doin' their thing!

I struggled with shooting the gun if ya can't tell haha, I've realized, I HATE guns!

We are going to visit Garrett and his family in Sacramento for memorial weekend! Garrett called Tage and talked him into going, he wouldn't take NO for answer, literally! We are soo excited! Our first road trip together...can't wait to see everyone! I'll post about the trip when we get back :)

SO MUCH TO SAY...

Sooo a lot has happened these past few weeks. Let's just say we have been SO blessed in so many ways!! I finished up my student teaching at Legacy Jr. High. I was actually really sad to leave. I had a blast there and such a great experience! I am helping out with the track team, so I still get to see some of the kids :) it's been so fun! Well the exciting news is...drum roll please....I GOT A JOB!! I will be teaching PE and Health at Clearfield High School this next school year! I can't wait! On top of that, I am also the new Head Soccer Coach there as well. I just can't believe it. I have been so blessed and I am so grateful for these opportunities I have been given, now lets just hope I don't screw them up ;) ha ha jk.

So more good news is...Tage got a new job as well! He will be working at Fidelity! He is soo excited! He loved his old job, but this new job just has so many more opportunities for him. I am so proud and excited for him! 

And then some more exciting news (maybe shocking to some) WE GRADUATED!!! This past weekend we both graduated from Utah State University! It was such a GREAT DAY! I just can't believe I am officially done and moving on to the real world...and fast! I am so excited, but I do have to admit, I was really sad to leave Logan for good. I have had SO many amazing memories there. One of the best decisions of my life was to go to USU! Aggie for life baby!!

My soccer gals and my soon-to-be teachers!

Me and Summy!

Was a little awkward asking for the handshake, but I am glad I got it! Ha.

This picture cracks me up!! I thought all gowns were one size fits all? haha.

Here is just some random pics of what else we have been up too lately! Hope the next few months will be as good as the last, it sure will be pretty hard to beat tho :) Til next time....

Just the boys playin' some sunday ball

We are FINALLY Costco people!!

Just the boys out for a Sunday stroll!

Spring Fever!

I was able to go home to Washington for a week during my Spring Break. Tage wasn't able to get work off so he wasn't able to go :( I did miss him lots! But I did have a blast!! It was so much fun to be with my parents and see my old friends. My mom helped teach me how to make some bows. I definitely got skipped on the creative and crafty gene! I managed to burn myself twice with the hot glue gun, and I wasn't even using it! But my mom is amazing!! You wouldn't believe the stuff she can do! She is working on making a tutorial on how to make bows. She is making like 80 tutorials and they are SO GOOD! I'll give out more info when they are all done. Overall, it was a GREAT vaca! Hopefully Tage will be able to go out there sometime soon.

Jazz Game with Heidi and Ollie before I left

HOME

The tulip fields weren't up yet so we had to do with the daffodils

He loves his Lemons!

Some of the Bows my mom taught me to make, you would die if you saw the ones she did!

Gotta love them! Just dancing to Footloose!

I was able to get back in time for Easter. We had a great Easter! We went to Millers for dinner and had an Easter Egg hunt where us Cliffords made out like bandits! It was such a fun time! We then went over to Tage's aunt and uncles house for dessert and to hang out. It was really fun all being together!

Easter Egg hunt

I hope everyone had a great Easter and the Bunny treated you all well :)

He's Still Got it!

So this past 2 weeks has been filled with basketball and then more basketball. Tage had his alumni basketball tourney. Which I guess me being from Washington, I didn't even know those existed for high school ha. But it was a pretty big deal. They started off a little rough and I thought for sure they would be donezo early, but then they picked it up, and ended up winning the whole thing! It was really fun to watch and see that my hubby and his buddies still got it :) Even though the rest of the following week he could barely walk ha.

The boys after the ship

I get to go back home in a few weeks for my spring break and can't wait! I'll post about the trip lata. Other than that, we have just been lovin' life! :)

As of late...

Wow...have we been busy this past month! Tage is loving his job still and is starting to job shadow more and starting to get the hang of it. He is being my little spy too, if he goes into any schools he will meet the principals and ask if they have any PE or Health teaching jobs. We have lucked out one so far :) So cross your fingers!

I am student teaching and I am loving it!! I have started to write as many principals as I can to find a job, I will know more info come march and april, but I pray that I find something! So if anyone hears of anything, let me know :)

I had a birthday back in January and it was a good one! Although I want them to stop coming because I don't want to get any older. Tage took me to dinner and got me One Tree Hill Season 8! He sure knows me well. Then over the weekend my Momma came to town to watch Ollie and so we hung out all weekend and had a BLAST! I want them to move down here sooo bad! Over that weekend, Lisa and Shio came over and spoiled me! They gave me the "royal treatment" I guess you could say. It was a day at the spa. I got massages and pedicures. It was so nice of them! It was fun having a girls weekend!

Last weekend was Ollie's 2nd Birthday! I can't believe how fast that cute little guy has grown! Heidi had a party at Jungle Jim's. It was a really fun place for little kids. We had a blast! I love that little cheek!



I have finally joined an indoor soccer team. It is with some of Tage's friends. And let me just say, I have offically lost ALL my soccer skills ha ha. I haven't touched a ball in 6 months and boy can you tell. I was so embarrassed. The team was probably like, "how did this girl play in college?" And I don't blame them. Hopefully over the next few weeks I'll be able to redeem myself, but we shall see...

Other than that, we are just loving life, having fun, and staying busy! Here are some pix from this past month:

Grandma trying her bows on Ollie ha ha

The Holidays!!

We had the best time for the Holidays!! My whole family came down and we did it down in Herriman at my sisters again. We all stayed down there for about 8 days. We had so much fun! We did the Polar Express up in Heber on Christmas Eve and the kiddos loved it! We went to an indoor water park, went to the zoo, the boys did a "boys day" and went to I Fly in Ogden while us girls went shopping and spent their money ;) It was so fun seeing all my family again, I wish everyone lived closer! Hopefully someday and soon they all will. Now it's back to the real world. I start student teaching in a couple weeks, I am excited to start! Tage has been at his job for 2 weeks and likes it a lot! Hope everyone had a great Holiday Season!!

All the kiddos! They are so much fun!

Christmas Morning

1st Christmas Together :)

Me and Heidi ran into PHIL from Modern Family at the Jazz game....SO COOL!

Cruisin' the Sea :)

So Tage surprised me with me with a cruise! I found out about 2 months ago and we went the 2nd week in December. It was kind of our "late" honeymoon  :) We went with 2 other couples and had a BLAST!! It was a 7 day cruise that went to Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. We went zip lining, parasailing, and ate and ate and ate! Tage gained about 12 pounds haha. But he can just blink and he'll lose it all, so I don't feel bad. I was too scared to even see what I gained, I'd rather just not know. But we had a blast! Tage graduated a few weeks ago and has started his first job so we are so excited! I start student teaching in January and I am really nervous but also excited :) My whole family came down for the holidays, and we have been having SO much fun with them! Tage fits in as if he has always belonged. It's been a blast! I'll post pics soon. Hope you all had a great Christmas!!
