the rest of 2011

So I am horrible at this whole blogging thing. If I could I would like to blog like twice a month or at least once, but I always get behind and never seem to be able to get caught up. I finally got all our summer trips up, so now it's time for fall and winter 2011.

Fall Time - We took a drive up Logan Canyon and stopped at the Card Picnic area and few other places. So very Pretty!

 October Feast/Halloween- We went up to Matt's Families cabin with some friends and had a huge feast! We had a Southern Dinner and lots of other yummy food. We also carved pumpkins, watched scary movies, and Matt tried to blow up pumpkins. It was a ton of fun and we plan on doing it every year now.

Birthday Month - Matt had his birthday on the 1st of the month (no pictures). I think I made him a yummy cake and homemade pizza and got him a few little things. Then we decided that Flash was born on November 7th. So we celebrated her birthday by giving her a wrapped apple, which she got through pretty quick. She loves her apples!  Then it was my birthday on the 20th. We went to Wingers and Matt got me some cake decorating stuff and some acrylic paints!

 

Thanksgiving - I didn't take any pictures on thanksgiving, but it was a good day. We were with my family this year. Matt and I were in charge of the potatoes. We ate food and sat around with the family. Good times.

Happy 2 year Anniversary! - This year Matt suprised me by turning our little appartment into a fancy hotel 'La Inn De Anniversary' that's what it says on the sign. He made a red carpet, bought tons of candles, and straightened the house. When I arrived home this is what it look liked. It wasn't as dark as he hoped, but it was still pretty awesome. I was definitely suprised! It was way cute. After that we went to hamilitons and spent too much money, came back and re-lit the candles, and watched a chick flick. It was a happy anniversary! and I'm a very very lucky girl!

Christmas - We aren't the best at taking pictures, but we had Christmas with Matt's Family this year! We had Christmas Eve dinner with the Wahlquist's, talent show, and the nativity. We also watched The Muppet's Christmas Carol. On Christmas we opened some presents from his family and then we just did stocking stuffers for each other this year (yay for being cheap). We had Christmas dinner with the Haw's side of the family and then we went back to Logan were I sat around :) and Matt had to work :(.  Then a week later we went down to see my family. We had a jam packed day of fun. We went bowling, out to lunch, played basketball, watched a movie, ate dinner, and opened up a few more presents. It was a fun Christmas! It's great to be around Family!

Inspiration Point

In memory of our Subaru.

We went up to Inspiration Point this past summer. It was super pretty up there. The sunset was amazing and there were tons of wild flowers. It was a long drive up the moutain, but our lovely subaru made it up the rough dirt road. We watched the sunset then we headed to find a camping spot. We ended up on this ledge over looking the valley. In the morning we hiked up to Willard and found a ton of mountain goats. Like a ton!! They were all over the trail, which made it little scary at times.  Anywho, this was an awesome trip that we couldn't have done without our Subaru. We will miss you!!

For those that don't know our car has had some troubles lately, a lot of troubles. We have fixed it many times, but finally decided it wasn't worth it anymore. It's possible if we fixed it this last time it might last for years with no trouble, but we just feel it's time to move on. We are currently looking for a Toyota 4runner so we can continue our adventurings. Matt is actually going to be checking one out today - so who knows I might get a new car today!
