Home Depot Hot Dogs!

So I grew up having my grandpa take me to Home Depot and after finishing our shopping we would get Home Depot hot dogs.  It is one of my cherished childhood memories, so when Drew and I went to Home Depot in Idaho Falls to get a key made I could not pass up the chance to show Drew what he's been missing!!

They are truly delicious! There is something about the smell of lumber and the sight of multiple flannel shirts that put you in the specialty hot dog mood! The only thing that was different than I remember was the price.  These hot dogs were not as cheap as I remember!!  All in all I think Drew enjoyed his first Home Depot hot dog! :)

Drew being a little embarrassed that I am taking his picture with the hot dog stand ;)

Our Specialty hot dogs! Yummy!

Idaho State Fair!

The Idaho State Fair came to town! Well it came to Blackfoot! 

To be honest we were expecting a big fair, I mean once you have seen the Orange County Fair you expect a lot.  So when we got there we were a tad disappointed, it was still fun though!! And lots of good fair food!

Champion Pumpkins and some sweet peach funnel cake!

That is a big cow!

Drew's favorite animal was the mini horses! Soo cute!

They had a shark tank at the fair!!

The ferris wheel and the view!

A good sunny day :)

First Days of School!

School has started!

 I was actually excited for school to start because it gets me closer to graduation!

I will graduate after student teaching December 2013!

Drew started his internship with Monkey Bar Storage! So proud of my hubby!

Drew bought me flowers for the first day of school!! He is such a great man!

Also our wedding album came in the mail the same day! 

This was put up on September 11th.  Every flag represents 20 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.  It was an awing sight!

We are excited to see what this semester holds for Drew and I!

My first quilt!

 So I am NOT a sewer!  Drew's grandmother gave me a sewing machine for Christmas and I have only done a few little projects here and there.  

For some reason I decided that I wanted to make a quilt, thinking that it did not look so hard.  I was wrong, but determined!  I had a bunch of left over Christmas fabric from a project that I had done for my mom.  Since I already had the fabric it was going to be free, in a sense.  So, I got started! Just started cutting and sewing, making lots of mistakes!!  Oh may I also mention that I did this in a day and a half! I was a crazed woman on a mission :P

The first row I sewed together, already a little crooked :)

Making my way! Okay I have to say that I am way proud!

The finished project! The front, and yes it is a little crooked :P

I still have not mastered how to sew a completely straight line :)

The back! Yeah I am proud! 

Hopefully I will get better next time :)

This is just another project I did with a girl in my ward! 

She taught me how to make a pillow case!

Dad and David come for a visit!

So Drew had to go back up to Idaho early for an internship interview and I stayed with my parents for a day to finish some things with my mom.  And I had the best Dad and brother to drive me back up to Idaho!

It was great to have them here and stay!! It was a short trip, but fun!!

David, Drew and Dad male bonding on the couch while watching a movie!

Love these guys!! And don't you just love their 'smiles'! Hehe!!

The movie of choice for my men!

The next morning the boys celebrated Labor Day with golf!  

Hole in one! (just kidding)

Daddy being nice and smiling for a picture!

I sneaked onto the course for the last hole to get a picture of these cute golfers!!

 Love these guys!!  I am so glad Dad and David were able to come visit  :)

Barney fun!

Drew and I have been soooo busy lately!! I am taking 17 credits and working as a tutor.  Drew is working in his internship and taking 7 credits online.  And this is why I have not updated the blog in forever! My computer is full of memories just waiting to get out! :)  So here we go! A whole month of pictures in just a couple posts!

Drew and I had been in California for a couple weeks and we had some great times with the whole Barney clan!!

Us and Baby Eloden! This is Brian and Rebekah's little boy!

This is just a funny picture of Drew sleeping in the car :)

We had so much fun with the Barney's!! 

Jessica, David, Jake and Kate were definitely a highlight of our trip! Such a cute family!

We also had the amazing chance to be there when Heather received her Endowments!  Learn more about temple Endowments here! It was so great to be there with the whole family and be able to experience this special event!

I just have to say that I love those crazy Barney's!! I'm so glad to be apart of this family!

Time with Katrina!! :)

So as many of you know Katrina is going on a mission to Vanuatu!! A sweet island of the coast of Australia.  And when Drew and I were down in California it was her 21st birthday! Woohoo!

So we had to celebrate with some good old fashion fun and arcades!  

Camelot for fun!

Katrina and I both won a jackpot on this Plinko game!

It was too funny cause Drew could not win, no matter how hard he tried! hehe!

We were also matching on accident!

Drew with some of his prizes!

Katrina with her spoils!

I am going to miss this amazing girl! She is going to be a fantastic missionary and a blessing to the lives of the Vanuatuan people!  They are lucky to have her, but we get her back in 18 months! And then we are keeping her here forever! <3
