Southern Utah

A couple weeks ago we escaped the cold and headed down to St. George for milton's Baptism. We had a great time with family and the sun made me want summer to come!! It was beautiful down there. On our way home Monday it was Marks 25th birthday!! so we stopped off at Zions and did some hiking. It was beautiful there! I want to go back again. here are some of the fun pics from the trip.

Christmas Day

\

This christmas was really fun for me! Mark had expressed how much he wanted a Wii. well I did all the lying I could to make sure he thought there was NO WAY he would get one.... then christmas morn he opened up a Wii game. It was the best!!! It was worth all the fibs i had to tell and trouble I went through to keep it a seceret. The best part was everyone knew he was getting one but him:) LOVE YOU MARKUS!!

Mark did very well in surprising me with alot of sentemental gifts. What a wounderful husband.. he knows me all too well:)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

My sister Julie and her husband were over to our house for FHE ( family home evening) And I wanted for them to just take a snap shot of Mark and I because I was behind on Christmas cards and time was running out. well this is always an ordeal for us because it seems to me that Markus likes to do a different facial expression for every picture! Besides he HATES taking them because I am picky:) needless to say I think it turned out pretty good!
I thought this was really funny but I don't think Baxter appreciated it as much. I hope you enjoy it.
