About Me and My Loves

About Me and My Loves
Howdy Y'all and Welcome! I have been married to my studly hubby for almost 5 years now; who is an energetic, outgoing, handyman helicopter pilot. We recently made our first big move cross country from Utah to Texas with our now 20mo. old "Rae of Sunshine" Azure. We love experiencing anything and everything and holding nothing back. We love dreaming and creating things of all kinds together. I hope that this blog will help our families back home keep up with our busy life, and maybe inspire some along the way...from family to home, money to food, holidays, travel, photography and crafts. this... this is my life!.... Enjoy.

Wife beaten by dog



You know when you get married you get so excited when its your anniversary...one week, one month. Well tuesday was our 6 month anniversary; and i guess Brett just didnt know how to deal with his excitement. Because i was awoken in the middle of the night from a slug in the face! And it wasn't til I was at work the next morning and discovered the black contusion forming around my eye! His story is that he was trying to save me from a vicious dog in his sleep, and that he was beating the dog... I guess im a bitch.

I feel like im moving to college all over again. The small car ready to explode from overloading with clothes, racing other crammed cars up sardine canyon going 30 mph!

This was my view for the 3 hour drive to logan today. Thank my lucky stars that arch on top didnt come loose and slide right into my front seat! PS this is Brett driving and also Brett's idea to tie the arch on top of the over filled trailer...But we did manage to get everything we own packed in that trailer!

Puff Puff

Oh puff... How you give me such a high!

The little things that you just have to take a picture of!

Jeepy hit the 100,000 mile mark this week traveling to logan to find housing!

Tidal

The hubby and i on the tidal wave with my brothers and niece.

Swinging in action

My all grown up nieces ariana and miriah!

How does a 1yr old end up being the only winner of the raffle out of our huge family. It had to have been riged he cant even hold a pencil without poking his eye out! Oh well he was so proud of the toy tool set and a hat that says "beef its whats for dinner"!

Hey whose that man on the baby swing ride, why is he the only adult and why is there no children around him?!

So we went to lagoon with my family on monday and had a blast! I think Brett enjoyed riding the kiddie rides with my nieces and nephew more than the big kid rides! Thats him in the background in the white hat!

So today was my last day of work at Deer Valley, the moment couldn't come faster! I'm just way too excited to start my new job in Nibley Ut at Little Wonders Preschool. I start setting up my classroom on Monday and school starts on the 2nd of September. I can't wait to have a more structured classroom that is MY classroom and that I don't have to share. Its more of a kindergarten structure; I have two classes a day one in the morning and one in the afternoon different kids.

The saddest part of my last day of work was 1. my favorite little guy Jackson wasn't there today and 2. Olivia the tallest and funniest 4 year old girl gave me the saddest departure ever! As i was walking out the door giving my final farewells to my coworkers I waved one last time to my buddy Liv and the tears welled up in her tiny eyes as she hid in the corner of the playground trying to not let me see her cry. That's when I had to run out to my car to let it all out. I love my students and that's the hardest part of being a teacher...leaving your students or when they leave you!

Yours, Mine and Ours Summer Adventures

This is me trying to convince my loving husband that I will not run off with Dierks Bentley after the concert.
Im behind the camera but this was brett and mines vacation to Jamaica and our bus stopped at a Jamaican hut that had the most delicious Jamaican Jerk Chicken you could ever imagine.
This is the sculpture that is dedicated to my Daddy that will be presented in the new AG building at USU. The image resembles passing down knowledge as my daddy did very well his entire life with teaching and having six children. I love you Daddy!
These next two pictures are ones that I took in my photography class, they aren't much... Im just begining.

So I have found that I am not good at being up to date on blogging, and found many pictures to share. So this is a run down of what my (as in Tiara) summer has been like...

FW:

How we grow so fast... Not too long ago was i the little blonde girl being driven around by my big brother in this same jeep. Now i get to watch my adorable niece and nephew create the same adventures i had.
