hello june :)

Don't you just love Spring flowers? This is what I wished my flower gardens looked like...not quite but hopefully eventually!  The Jordan River Temple has such beautiful flowers.

I figured since my last post was on May 1st it was only fitting that I would at least post on June 1 too.  Life for Andy and I has been great, but nothing too exciting has happened.  I did attend my niece Natalie Goodrich's play a few weeks ago which was awesome.  They did a phenomenal job!  It was the Shakespearean play Much Ado About Nothing, but it was set in Japan. :)  It was a fun twist.   Natalie played Antonio.  Check out her awesome make up job!  My sister Stacey was in charge of the costumes along with some other parents.  They were great!!

Andy also turned the big 2-7 this past month.  We celebrated by going to dinner and a movie.  It is so nice that he doesn't have to study right now so we can go on a weeknight! :)  It felt weird to be able to do that!  I was looking for a mini cake for him on my lunch break and I broke down laughing when I saw this cake:

Anyone who reads the blog CakeWrecks will understand why I loved this so much.  Props to the bakery worker that attempted to create this lovely moose on the cake...I definitely could not do a better job, but I'm sure there are other people who can. :)  Happy Birthday Senior Andrew!!  You are such a fabulous guy, I sure am lucky to be married to the man of my dreams!!

We went shooting again a few weeks ago on one of the rare sunny days we have had the past few weeks!  We were out west of Utah Lake and it was GORGEOUS! It is really fun to go shooting together, especially because Andy has so much fun. :)

Now that it has stopped snowing every day at our house we are trying to reclaim our yard.  We bought a lawn mower this past week and spent a ton of time on our lawn.  We've got some dead spots in the grass and the flower beds were completely overgrown.  I know these pictures aren't great, but it looks WAY better than it did before!

 This was the massive bush that was in front of our house.  We're not really sure what it was, but it was definitely annoying! It is now gone and we have to decide what to plant instead.  Any ideas? :)

 This massive freaking root was connecting a network of weeds in our front law.  It was literally like a foot and a half long!

 Look at this guy, what a stud! We had to overseed our lawn in hopes that it would grow in a little better!

This home ownership stuff is hard work, but man it is so much fun!  We just bought a beautiful mirror at Tai Pan Trading on the summer sidewalk sale (loved this sale!) and hung it above our mantel. It is so fun to decorate our house and make it more our own.  I'm definitely still learning how to decorate so we pretty much play it safe but it is fun to figure out what we both like!
