Steve is 28!

Steve's birthday was last week and so we had to celebrate! We went out to his mom's on Friday (since that was Brian's birthday) to spend time with them. We had a fun evening celebrating the two birthdays!

On his actual birthday, Saturday, we stayed home and had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, pizza for dinner, and cake. The cake was kind of a disaster but Steve said it tasted good so it was fine. Then for Sunday we went to my parents and celebrated some more!

We live in Turlock now!

Steve and I decided to move to Turlock. First of all, school is in Turlock for Steve, and come the Fall it will be for me too. Also we have family in Turlock, so if we live close it will be easier for us to hang out. I do have to commute to work, but since it is the freeway it is no big deal! It usually only takes 15-20 minutes. We are also excited to be in a new ward! We are looking forward to out new adventure in our new place!

Marlowe

Steve and I decided it was time to expand our family, so since we don't know when we will actually have a child, we thought a dog would be best. So we got a Boston Terrier puppy. She is named Marlowe. She is eight weeks old and we have had her for two weeks. She is adorable! She makes us very happy!!

Who could resist this face?

She does like to sleep with us, mostly right on your chest, or she likes to sleep under the blankets at the foot of the bed. She does help to warm the bed up!

I think watching Kaylynn interact with the dog is so adorable. She runs around yelling "puppy dog" and they chase each other. They are just adorable!

We are very happy with this new addition to her family!

We have been married for 5 Years!!!

January 6th was our 5 year wedding anniversary. It is so weird to think that we have been married for that long!! We have had good and bad times but I am married to my best friend, who I love so much! We went Dewz for our anniversary again this year. This time though we went around 3:00pm and no one else was in the restaurant, which we enjoyed. And since it was lunch we were able to get an appetizer, two meals, and dessert for the same price as our two dinners last year! I was excited about it! After wards we came home and just hung out with each other. Here are some pictures of our yummy food!

This was the appetizer ...

The picture is blurry but my food was good!

Christmas 2011

For Christmas Eve we spent it in Patterson with Steve's family. We had some good food and enjoyed playing games and watching A Christmas Story. I was kind of a slacker and did not get very many pictures but I did take pictures of the stockings that Steve's mom made from his Dad's wool socks. She has plenty to keep adding as the family continues to expand....someday. :)

For Christmas we went to my parents house. Had some more good food and got to hang out with family.

My mom got my dad an ipad for Christmas so here are the men setting it up.

The Berryhill's have been into The Big Bang Theory so we got them t-shirts from the show. Krista is wearing the one we got and we got Sam a glow in the dark Sheldon shirt. Looks like some one else had the same idea just earlier in the day...

We decorated sugar cookies and I was "helping" Kaylynn...I think she enjoyed this activity.

We also took some family pictures so I can complete my family wall. We started out with some funny ones...


Then took some serious ones....



This one made it on the wall! No more looking at that picture of flowers!!!


I love Christmas and the holiday season! I love the fact that we spent the holiday with our families. I couldn't think of anyone better!

Kaylynn's Kitchen....

Lately I have been looking on Pinterest a lot and I saw this entertainment center that was converted into a pretend kitchen for some kids. It was adorable and they painted pink. I thought it would be pretty sweet to make for Kaylynn and Krista agreed, so we did it! My dad helped us a lot and here are some pictures to show how handy we are...

We did one side in chalk board paint so she could have somewhere fun to draw..

Krista found some wood round circles that we painted and made into "burners".

In the middle of painting....

And the finished product....

My parents got her a pink microwave and a pink and white table set. They even made sure to get fake food too!

I think she likes it!!
