April 2016

So here's some fun stuff that happened in April:

Star Wars came out!

I got a new phone!

...and a super cute case for it.

I helped my SiL do a gender-reveal photo-shoot featuring my adorable nephew.  (These are a few of the pictures she didn't end up using for the actual reveal)

My sister and I also got to do a newborn photo session for a sister in my ward.

Peter and I went on a date to Cracker Barrell.

We had some Be-autiful weather

I (with Peter's help) made what might be the girliest pinewood derby car in the history of pinewood derbies: Disney's Rapunzel themed.

We went to our pinewood derby.

I bought a hat to wear at Cub Scout activities (so I'll look like a real actual leader!).

Peter and I also got to see Peter and the Starcatcher at Hale Center Theatre.  We have seen it previously at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, and we have to say the Shakespeare festival did it better.  This play is not the best fit for a theatre-in-the-round like Hale.  It was still enjoyable, but not fall-out-of-your-seat-funny like it was at Cedar.

Costume from The Three Musketeers

I also got a haircut... 

...which I'm still trying to settle into.

Some days I love it, other days, not so much.  

But it is what it is!

March and Easter

I was really bad about taking pictures in March, but here we go.  

Early in March we got to babysit our cute little nephew while his parents celebrated their anniversary.  I convinced him to take a selfie with me.

I got some new shoes!

Our friends Adam and Carly invited us to hangout one Friday night.  Peter went with Adam to the BYU basketball game, while Carly and I went to dinner.

The next day I went shopping with my friend Courtney.  She had birthday money to spend, so we found her some shoes, a purse and a cute top!

The next weekend was Easter!  We had an egg hunt with the Burnetts, which was really for the nieces and nephews.  Look how cute they are :)

   

                       

We also got our Easter  baskets, which Rex loves to hide in really difficult places for the adult kids to look for.

And we did Easter Eggs!

                 

Peter and I are both nerds: I made a Tardis egg...

...and he made a Poke-ball egg.

And we got dressed up for Easter Sunday!

Then the other night, we had dinner with Andrew, one of our college buddies.  It was great to catch up with him.

January + February Photo Dump

Wow I can't believe we're already halfway through February 2016!  This year seems like it might go by just as fast as last year.  This won't be an involved post - just a few pictures.  I haven't taken very many this year, though.

I have like no pictures from the beginning of January.  We had a New Year's Day party, but I did not feel well that day, so I didn't really take any pictures of our friends who came to party with us. 

 Towards the end of the month, we had our first show at Hale Center Theatre - Beau Jest.  It's the story of a Jewish girl who hires an escort to play her made-up Jewish boyfriend.  It was incredibly funny and  a lot of fun.  We took a selfie before the show started.

This is one of the scriptures I've been "ponderizing" lately.  I love the message that the Lord will lead us throughout our lives towards the promised land if we keep His commandments and that we will know He is in control.  It is a great comfort to know He is guiding my steps.

On the Sunday of the Superbowl, Peter and I dressed to support our teams.  

Me, the Carolina Panthers (of course!), and Peter, the Denver Broncos.

I also made blue Carolina Panther snickerdoodles to share with his family (who are mostly Broncos fans, although one or two of them support the correct team). 

 Dressed in our teams colors that evening for the game.

This week, Peter sent me flowers at work for Valentine's day!  He even remembered that calla lillies were my favorite flower from our wedding!

Last night, Peter took me on a surprise Valentine's Date to the Utah Symphony, who was doing a 75 Year Celebration of Broadway with guest vocalists.  It was really fun.  Our two favorite numbers were "Defying Gravity" from Wicked and "Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera.  Morgan James sang "Defying Gravity", and she definitely had the power for that number.  Peter said he got goosebumps.  Hugh Panero, the singer who performed "Music of the Night" had played the Phantom on Broadway for 2500 performances!  When he started that song, we knew why.  It was gorgeous.
