August!

I haven't posted much lately, but here's an update if anyone is interested ;)

School starts soon! Bryce will start teaching seminary again on the same day we both go back to college, he's working on his Masters degree and I'm working on my Bachelors degree. This semester is probably going to be a little craaacy.. with us probably moving... and both of us doing online school... and work... but we're excited for the adventure. We've almost been married for 3 years now, whoa! And in our marriage we've learned that it is so important to make time for family and your spouse no matter how busy life is. Quality time is more important than being able to afford a new car, couch, dining table, or whatever. We love to spend time together, and in the Lord's time when kiddos join our family, we have learned about the importance of making it a priority to spend time together and communicate, with each other and with little-us' :) Family is the most important part of life. We're so grateful to be together and to have the best families!

Anyway, here are some pictures. 

(Tyler, Jbz, and Bryce)
 We found a roller skating rink. There were a few people skating that had light up skates and costumes, I tried to get a picture but I didn't get a good one because I didn't want to make it way obvious haha. That was fun.... Lookin' good you skaters you. ^

 Bumper cars!  (With some sweeeeet coupons from groupon, we got to do rides, mini golf, arcade, and rollerskating at this place near slc. We got our coupon's worth out of everything in that place. We got 15 tokens each to play arcade games and Bryce and I won two of the game's jackpot tickets. :) Somehow we got lucky and got around 700 tickets.... then we redeemed them for.... candy! Yep, it was either candy or the plastic toys that break immediately. So yeah, that was fun. Haha...)


(We have a hard time taking serious pictures haha.)

 Congrats to a couple of our best friends that have gotten married recently! 
(Steph & Mike)

(Chelsea & Jon)

This house wants to be ours ;)
[Pictures of the house are from utahrealestate. There were more pictures, but I didn't want to post them because they are pictures of the current owner's stuff. They're pro at decorating their home though!]
Lovely kitchen ;) Oh, and trying to buy a home is hard work! Just saying. Kudos to all you people that have already done it, you diiiiiiid iiiit!

We're super excited to buuuuyyyy iiiiit. It's so crazy to think that we could own a home soon. Here's our excited faces..... mixed with our wind in the face-love our jeep even when it breaks down-faces. 

Peace! 
Oh! And one more thing. We are still doing home-video transferring and picture scanning for those of you interested. Our website is http://livehappymemories.weebly.com/
We're also doing wedding reception guest book-scrapbooks and ruffled canvas-tote bags.

A Little Bit of Everything

Hey.

Sooo... here are some more pictures and videos from lately...

Bryce and his brother Travis

 Bryce's sister Aubree & her husband Karson got sealed [in the temple] aren't they a cute couple!? :]






Pictures from our trip to California...
{Classic plane picture... I'm posting this to remind myself how much I love land. We didn't have non-stop flights... and as we were flying into the Vegas airport, the plane thought it'd be hilarious to tilt to one side right before landing, but good thing the pilot corrected..... ....... no one clapped, and the pilot didn't come out after to say farewell to his weary passengers... poor guy.... kinda. I've never loved sitting in an airport more than I did that day. We had 2 hours in-between flights so we watched some netflix, woot! We met some interesting people... and while I'm on the plane topic... As we were getting ready to leave the Santa Ana airport, our pilot announced that we had a delay due to an accident that had just happened at San Francisco airport. We needed to wait to let passengers on that needed to change planes (our layover was in Oakland which is across the bay from S.F.) While we were waiting, we heard a bunch of people around us talking about what had happened at the S.F. airport. Poop= in the pants. (Not really, but you know how it is...) We were fortunate though to leave and eventually get home before we read about how serious the accident was in S.F. -----Before any of this happened, we were considering leaving a day or two later from California, but we're way glad we got home before everything was put on the news about the plane accident at the other airport. All I can say is... laaaand!!! [quote from "The Pacifier"...good movie]



 Awesome weather in CA

 Bryce's grandma's yard is full of gorgeous flowers, love these!



While in California, we went to the zoo with our sister-in-law Aarin and her and Aaron's kids Kody and Whitney. Whitney really does love macaws. Our favorites were the monkeys that were going crazzzzy with their paper bags.

Bryce the little chick and niece Whitney

We swam a bunch in Aunt Meri's pool... another California paradise backyard. For the 4th of July, we had a fun family BBQ and swam some more and had a big ol' party. {I didn't take very many pictures because it's not very fun to always have a camera in hand when fun things are happening, so yeah... here are a few that I did get.}


 [The guys went deep-sea fishing all day on the Friday we were there, and the girls decided to do some stuff around Orange. We got yummy breakfast and then we went to a museum that had cool stuff in it and we got ice cream at Thrify's, yay!]


While we were gone, the flowers that my sister Harmony sent me for my bday went from this.....
 to this.   Whaaaaat???

This post is getting kind of long, but guess what!!!?
We're buying a home! [It's been crazy, but fun. We're learning a lot...]

We hope you're all doing well! 
Love, Us.
