oh! our crazy, BUT fun weekend!

Life can be so very busy, crazy and hectic sometimes, but after sitting down, taking a deep breath and looking back on all that has happened this past weekend, it's not hard to realize that life is busy, very busy sometimes, but really isn't that how life always is?! This is what life is all about -being busy, loving every minute of it, and having each other to enjoy it all together- I say yes.
Justin is the king of setting up the camera timer so that we can take pictures of each other without having to find someone to take the picture for us. When we took these first two pictures Justin was giving me a hard time for wanting to take pictures, again! So, I told Justin fine, we don't need to take a picture and I left the room while Justin was left to pose for this picture by himself. Before the timer went off Justin was trying to convince me to come back and take the picture with him, but I said no. When the timer was just about to go off I looked at Justin and immediately started laughing so hard because he was just sitting on the couch by himself smiling this cheesy smile and pretending that I was still sitting right next to him! It makes me laugh really hard to just even think about it right now! I love my silly husband.
Girls night out! And I took full advantage of my time out with the girls for my dear old roommate Melissa's birthday! Yes, I am wearing my heels and loving every second of it! (Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly and completely happy with my wonderful and short husband, BUT that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a nice night out with my girlfriends wearing my so cute and quite neglected high heels!)
This past Saturday night I went out to dinner with my old roommates for a birthday celebration for Melissa. It was so much fun, Lyndsey, Carrie, and Aubrey were there and it was so great to get together with my amazing friends. (Also there was one of the girls new roommates, and another friend from the ward.)
I brought cupcakes to dinner so that we could sing to Melissa and she could blow out candles and make a birthday wish!
Happy happy birthday to Melissa!
I love my dear roommate Melissa so much! She is such a wonderful person. My most very favorite thing about Melissa is how happy she just always is. I have never seen Melissa mean to or angry at anyone. She always has a smile on her face, and always has been able to make me smile just by being around her, no matter what kind of mood I am in. I love this girl!
It was so great to be able to catch up with all the girls. I haven't seen them very much since Justin and I got married so it was so nice to be able to hear all about what they are up to with school, work, the ward, and of course it is always fun to get the latest scoop on the topic of boys! I loved every minute of it!


Maccoy's baby blessing was this past Sunday. So after a very, very, very crazy night of work for Justin, (he was on call on Saturday and ended up working for 14 super long hours on Saturday and didn't get home until 5 o'clock in the morning!!!) our alarm went off at 5:45 to get up and ready to head out to Tremonton for the blessing. Of course, it was very worth it to make the sleepy drive out and be able to see this such sweet little boy be blessed by his daddy.
A very happy little family.

After the blessing the whole family headed to Brigham City to have a little luncheon at the dentist office that BreAnne works for. It was lots of fun to see and be with all the kids, but, for me, the most fun of all was being able to sneak in a chance to be able to hold adorable, little Maccoy for a bit!
Here is Kyla and her boyfriend Dallas.
Macy and Maddie. I think they look like they could be sisters. Maddie loves Macy so much I'm sure she wishes Macy really was her sister!
Brooklyn as a monkey?! She is such a silly girl!
(She was trying to cross her eyes in this picture! She is really good at it, but I couldn't take the picture at the exact right time...)

After the blessing and luncheon Justin and I made the long drive home and went right back to bed! Justin slept for 5 hours before I decided that I better wake him up so that he could study! School and work have been super busy for both of us this past week or so, and after such a crazy weekend it was sad to remember how much school work we still had to do! Oh well though, what can ya do? Nevertheless, we still had a great weekend.

Oh I miss you guys a ton! And great looking shoes! :) I agree with Jamie, that's what happens when you marry one of us. ha ha I need to get some shoes like that because even if I wore them it still wouldn't matter. I have to admit I miss the craziness of school and studying. Did I just say that? I think I want to get my masters one day. I am glad you updated, I love seeing what is happening in your lives. I on the other hand am horrible at updating. Love Justin's loner picture. :)

oh I wish you could have drawn Tucker's blood too! I guess around one year, kids have to get test for lead poison & one other thing I can't remember. :) The guy who did it was actually really good, so that helped. I just don't know how you do that all day!
