Fun Day!!!

On Tuesday afternoon, I went and robbed these cute kids (with permission) for the rest of the day! We hit the ground....biking!

There was a lot of silliness going on! 



We headed to this really cool bike trail after stopping at the store to prepare for our snacks! They are both fast riders and loved riding their bikes! 

After we were stopped in our tracks by a flat tire, we needed some nourishment. 
We headed to my house and made some delicious muddy buddies! If you have never had them and you like peanut butter and chocolate, I highly suggest you try them out! After we devoured said snack, we headed to L Park! 



It was such a nice day outside with a lot of sunshine! The silliness never seemed to end! 









At dinner time we headed home to enjoy some quesadillas! Then we played some frisbee in the backyard until it was time to go to the movies. We saw The Rise of the Guardians. It was a cute show and we enjoyed it! We also enjoyed the popcorn and treats, ha ha! 
Thanks, kiddos for a fun day!

K's Blessing Day

Meet baby K:






Isn't he a cute baby? This last weekend we had the opportunity to attend his blessing. It was a great day!

There were a lot of wonderful men who came to support the little guy...

When I asked him how he felt about the neat blessing his dad gave him, he responded in the following manner....

This is his amazing mother! She did a lot of nice things to make this a very special day!

I'm not sure if baby K knows the extent of his awesome, crazy family yet, but he will someday!
























Thanks, E family for a fun day to celebrate this little man! We love you, baby K!

L Temple Trip

One of our goals this year is to attend the temple more frequently. Another one of our goals is to attend different temples here in U. We gathered up our friends and headed up to L-town for the morning. It was cool to visit this temple again! I have attended a few sessions here and have done baptisms, but have never been here with my man. Two of my siblings (and my parents) were married in this temple. It was a beautiful day!





For lunch, we ate at Burger King. Then we enjoyed the sunshine and majestic views on the way home! (photos brought to you by the one and only iPhone)



It was a fun little date with my hubs and our friends! Thanks, Hansens!

4th Anniversary

Yep! We have been hitched, experiencing wedded bliss for 4 years now! It's crazy how time flies! It feels like we've been together forever (a good thing, ha ha!). To celebrate, we headed to our favorite all-you-can-eat sushi place, Sushi Ya! (We love the sushis!)

It was very exciting!

We then drove all around L-town trying to decide which ice cream place to get a shake. We finally decided on Dairy Queen! It was a very good decision. And they had a deal of a buy a blizzard, get one for $0.99! We were very blessed!

It has been an incredible 4 years together and I'm so lucky to have found my amazing husband! He is very patient and loving and I'm very grateful to have to opportunity to spend eternity with him!

California!!!

We had an amazing opportunity to spend some time with family in California! It was a nice long weekend getaway and very relaxing!

The first day, we headed to Hollywood! It was a pretty cool place, but a person only needs to go there once in their life to experience it all. We were lucky enough to go there the weekend of the Oscars. There were a lot of people there!


We walked the walk of fame and saw all the "stars".....


We even saw the infamous "Santa Monica Blvd", ha ha!


We found Mickey there, too!


Cortney found his favorite Disney star...


Afterward, we drove past the Los Angeles LDS temple. It was such a beautiful holy building in the midst of a worldly city! It was very nice to spend some time outside in the warmth, as well. We headed back home just in time to beat the afternoon traffic.

On Friday we headed to Glendale to check out the Forest Lawn Cemetery. It was such a cool place!! Check it out online. There are many famous people buried there. They have a few cathedrals with incredible artwork and many awesome statues. It was such an inspirational place to visit! One of the cathedrals housed an amazing stain glass depiction of the Last Supper. It was so incredible! Another cathedral housed two art pieces, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. They had a very special presentation to present these art pieces. They were also of phenomenal size! It was such a cool place to visit, and I would recommend it to anyone! Just incredible!






The man who decided to create these cemeteries had a very positive mission which he wanted to convey. Just a beautiful statement with great positivity! The feeling at the cemetery was an amazing feeling!


And since we are a fan of America, I decided to add this gem in. This art piece is a lot of little tiles. Yes, tiles! 

On Saturday, we all headed to Disneyland and California Adventure! It was a family party! We had so much fun and ate all the delicious Disneyland foods! It was a great day, very warm, and just fun to be together! I love my family!





The whole family in front of the coolest Cars ride ever!

The T boys!





Overall, it was very relaxing and fun! I'm very glad that we were able to go visit Kandis and Cameron and to have a good little vacation!
