a very happy 30th.

It was a weekend full of fun surprises, family, and friends.

Your the most handsome thirty year old I have ever seen.

love you babe.

a bit of m.i.a.

We spent the day at the Matich's for great food and loads of fun. Thanks for working so hard Tor, it was extra extra yum. We are also so excited to have the Wilkers and Lil'Vanderstappens back in town, we hope you guys had a nice little getaway.

And of course we hit the stores at the crack of dawn this morning, I cant help it...I love it. Matich is such a good sport. My brother had a solid spot in line this morning, allowing us slackers to sleep in a little. Thanks for sticking it out in the rain and lots more rain bro!
Just wanted to give a huge congrats to the Park City Highschool Football Team. It was an amazing season. The hard work and dedication of the players and coaches is incredible. We always look forward to Friday nights during football season and look forward to many more.
Go Miners!


hApPy BiRtHdAy Grandma! Although long overdue, we hope it was a great day!

Also a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my brother Chris. It is without question impossible to get his picture, so I feel he is best represented by his true love, the Boston Redsocks. My hell your old.


And the award for best mummy costume.

costume chaos.

this is what i think matich should be.

What an exciting and busy weekend. Birthday celebrations and halloween fun. We celebrated Brandons birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON!) with a Matich family dinner, quite the gathering. We were all so excited to see Laurie and Terick's new adorable, smell goody and scrumptious twins. love them.

Also found a little time to invite Noah and Squeeks over to Oma's house for a little hallow's eve fun and decor....Matich wins for most creative cupcake (as shown below). I have discovered two things thus far in the halloween festivities; 1) buying all needed crafts, candy, costumes, and tools does not come cheap

2) what ever happened to good old triangles for a pumpkins eyes, nose, and mouth? Glorified stencil cutouts are overrated and yet unavoidable. bah.

fall happenings.

I registered. Sounds terrible and even worse to admit, but I have never voted.

Nevermore I say.

A little snip of our friday night fun. Be it the mountain tops or the west, its always a good time supporting the teams. Brandon and Jon are amazing coaches and we wish them the best this 2008 football season!

and many more....

I cannot believe it has already been a year. This time last year was such an exciting time, blizzard and all. It could not have been more perfect, what I like to call a beautiful disaster. Lets be honest, renting a tent and setting it up the night before the wedding was not exactly what I had planned (thanks wilker, mike, & poppy), nor the 4 inches of snow that day. But there is something to be said about the spontaneity and excitment of "winging it" and the irreplaceable, devastatingly handsome grand prize waiting for me at the end. This has been such an amazing year and for the lack of better words, trying my best to not sound cliche, I have found the most amazing partner anyone could hope to find. Matich is the most patient, sweet, loving, and caring person I have ever met. He gives me balance and confidence in everything I do. Behind him stands the most amazing family that I am now lucky to call mine. I have not only gained a Moose and a TorTor, but best friends. It is the package deal.

I remember years back when Kam or Laurel, or one of my many shopping buddies, and I would hit up the mall and without fail I was certain to spot this handsome redhead in Banana Republic. He wasnt real. I truly could not believe it possible for someone to sweep me off my feet with just a glance. I am undoubtedly amazed everyday with what an amazing and remarkable person I get to spend my life with. Matich you are the smartest person I know and I am so proud to call you mine. I am and will always be yours for the taking. You are my movie star.

Happy Anniversary.

Love you everyday.

Drivers BEWARE!!

So this past Saturday was very much an adventure to say the least. My little brother Travis turned 16 on the 24th (I am continually shocked by how fast time goes by) and my mom was eager to celebrate with a "sweet 16" birthday bash. I volunteered my house for the party. Minus the grass catching on fire and the remains of candy, soda, and pizza crust all over the backyard, it really ended up being a great time. Chris and Cara managed to keep him distracted while the rest of us prepared for the festivities, Trav did his best to act surprised. The turnout was great and us "old folks" even found ways to keep ourselves entertained!

Happy Birthday Trav.

love your bum.
