Cabo Trip

D.J. and I had the great opportunity last February to take a trip to Cabo San Lucas with Mom and Dad. We had an absolute blast doing nothing but relaxing. It was a 1wk long vacation that we hope to make into a tradition. Here are some pictures of our great trip:

There were so many great places to eat. I think I gained 10 lbs on this trip.

Mom and I relaxing in the golf cart while D.J. and Dad took one for the team and went golfing. :)

Another picture of us at a fantastic resturant. This was our routine everynight and it never got old. There were too many restaurants to pick that we didn't get to try them all... which means we all need to go back, Darn it.

Dad and D.J. cliff jumping while mom and I enjoyed the sun on the beach. This was a great area for snorkeling also.

Dad and D.J. enjoying the sand.... Mom and I preffered to lay ON the sand and not IN the sand.

Me and My Hunny!

Look at those two beach bums

This was the view of the mirena from our resort. Our resort couldn't have been in a better location. Everything was in walking distance, especially the great food and shops.

Every trip has to come to an end.

Almost a Year Later

So... almost a year later from my last post I've decided to take back up blogging. D.J. has been giving me a hard time about how our blog is not up to date. That is for sure! Today I hope to update everyone on the changes and updates in D.J. and I's life.

My Chef

D.J. today wanted to make homemade brownies and... Whala! He accidently put them in a 9x9 rather than a 9x13 pan. Opps

Another shot of the delicious brownies

Traditional Pumpkin Carving

OUR MASTERPIECES!!!

Here is Kat, Dad, Me, and D.J. (I was a little cold, if you can't tell.) It sure was alot of fun getting together with the family to decorate pumpkins. Kathy's was the best, but dad's came pretty close. I think it is a rib cage, zebra, or some has said it looks like a butt. Who really knows though.

D.J. and I's perfect pumpkins.


Before we started carving we all made our own individual pizza's thanks to D.J.'s brilliant idea. Here is Matt and Lisa together while decorating theirs.

Grandma and Deej enjoying their yummy pizzas too.

Tree Be Gone

I wish I had a before picture to show you all, however, this is where our old pine tree once was. D.J. and Dad spent nearly 2 whole days taking out our very large pine tree by hand. We are so greatful for all the help dad gave to us. Our house sure is coming along thanks to D.J.

Harvest

D. J. and I wanted to start a garden during our first summer in our new house. Here is our first grown harvested produce. Although we didn't do great, we learned alot and plan to do better next year. I really appreciate my mom and grandpa for helping us out... and especially for D.J. and all the hard work he did to allow me to have my garden this year.

Primary Activity Day

I've finally recieved a calling in our new ward. I have been called to Activy day leader for young girls ages 8-11. Last Tuesday was our first get together and I thought it was alot of fun. There are a total of 11 girls however only 5 came last week. I'm really excited about my calling and hope I can make a positive impact in these girls lives and be a good example to them as they are to me. Here are girls that attended last weeks activity day group.

Natalie, Ashlyn, Daysha, Madie, and Sara
