San Diego and Disneyland

For my birthday my sweet husband took us to Disneyland!! But first we got to stay with Sam's sister and her wonderful family! Unfortunately it was a little shorter than we would have liked, but it was so great to see them! Sam's sister Kathy is seriously one of the sweetest people I have ever met! WOW! I am so lucky to have married into such a great family! She made me an AMAZING ice cream cake for my birthday as a surprise! And Nephi was sweet enough to polish it off:
Man I love that boy! So I'm a little disappointed that this is apparently the only picture I took while we were with them! I am so grateful to be related to such darling kids! We love you Spendloves!!

Next stop...DISNEYLAND (Well California Adventures our first day)!
Sam was just so excited! It was his first time at Disneyland!!
Its true....we are just living our fairytale ending!One of my most favorite places in the world!!! Sigh...LOVED being able to share it with Sammy!My strong hubby....



Make a wish into the well thats all you have to do! And if you hear it echoing...your wish will soon come true! My mom and I used to sing that all the time! Love that wishing well! Sam and I are big fans of throwing coins into fountains or wells! hehe!




As wonderful as Disneyland is....as we were leaving LA we were able to go to the REAL happiest place on earth. We got to do some temple work at the Newport Beach Temple. It is such a great experience to be able to travel and attend the temple wherever we go! All in all it was a FANTASTIC vacation! Thank you Sammy!!!

Heather's Wedding and Jeremy's Graduation

My cousin Heather got married in Utah to Mark at the end of April (I know I'm late posting all of this!). I was able to attend the ceremony at the Provo temple. It was SUCH a sweet experience. They are so perfect for each other! We couldn't be happier for both of them. Sam unfortunately wasn't able to come to the wedding with me because of work, but I was there for the both of us!


SUCH a beautiful couple! My sister in law Emily who is an amazing photographer took Mark and Heather's picture and I got to be her assistant photographer...definitely a great experience!


I also was able to be there for my brother Jeremy and his wife Maria's graduation from BYU. Jeremy graduated with honors and it was quite impressive!! It was a great experience to be there celebrating with them!It was a busy weekend! But such a good one!!

Tahoe Trip

A few months ago Sam and I took a trip to Tahoe. It was SUCH an amazing trip! We stayed in this awesome condo up at Northstar-At-Tahoe. We got to snowboard and just take it easy. After snowboarding for a couple days we then went to Reno to just play around and hang out at the Circus Circus.
SUCH a beautiful day up at Tahoe! SOO fun!

Circus Circus Reno is a good place for 2 people who don't drink or gamble or are under 21 to hang out! haha. Many other things to do!
Sam won me a flower bouquet! haha!
