Oh Christmas Tree

This is our first Christmas together (being married at least) and it has been so much fun so far. We decorated the tree, put up garlands and Jeff attempted to put lights on the house but gave up soon after! Maybe next year! We can't wait for Christmas to come, I am sure it will be a memorable one! I hope every one has a Merry Christmas!

Real Salt Lake Game

Last night we went with our cute friends Blair & Kim and Aaron and Katie to the Real Salt Lake Soccer game. It was super fun and full of adventure. There was no parking so we ended up parking in some apartment complex and having to walk through mud and a canal and hopping a fence to get to the stadium. And then we had to do it again on the way back to the car. My shoes are covered in mud and I think the Smith's and the Torriente's got to know me a lot better from that experience! (sorry guys!) But it was a super fun night even though Real lost!

New Arrival

We had a new addition to the family this week. This is Mick Ryan Delahunty. He is my 2nd to oldest sister, Whitney's, little guy. He was born on Monday and weighs 8lbs and 9 oz and is 21 inches long. Whitney and her fam live in California so we wont get to see this little guy for a bit. But we are so happy that he is here and that he is healthy! That makes number 15 for our family and there are now more kids than adults! I love it!

Punkin Party

The other day we got together with some friends in the neighborhood and carved pumpkins. It was so much fun and I hadn't carved a pumpkin in forever. We went to a cute little patch and picked them up and then went back to the Cannon's house to eat, carve pumpkins, and just hang out. It was so much fun! And I now have one halloween decoration!

The West's, Cannons, Arnell's, Franco's, Allen's and Hogan's

The Girls

Trip to the Zoo

Jeff and I took a trip to the zoo with my sister Devanie and her husband David and her little boy Syrus. It was so much fun! We had not been to the zoo in such a long time! 

This is my nephew Syrus, he is a little over 1 year old and he is so much fun!

He loved the merry-go-round! And of course they had to ride on the zebra! Ebony and Ivory all the way!

He gives the best kisses! (except Jeff's of course!)

And there is my little monkey! Love ya Jeff! It was a super fun trip! Thanks Mensah fam for letting us come with you!

Happy 6 Month Anniversary!

Today Jeff and I have been married for 6 months! I honestly never thought the day would come when I would be able to say that. They have been the best 6 months ever and we are so grateful to have been sealed to each other for all time. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Since March, 22nd... Jeff has started school and is working towards an accounting degree. We are both working hard so that one day we can start a family together. We are living in South Jordan and loving it! We both have callings, Jeff is the Ward Clerk and I am a sunday school teacher for the 12-14 year olds. We love our ward and neighborhood and have made some fun friends. We are so happy to be married and living this new chapter in our lives! I love you Jefferson!

Too Funny!

I was having a rough day at work the other day and I found this video on YouTube. It totally cheered me up and made me laugh so hard. I thought I would share it with everyone!

Labor Day in St. George

Over Labor Day weekend we headed down to St. George with the Franco Fam. We stayed in Jeff's old Bishops vacation home down there. It was super fun and very much needed. We lounged by the pool all weekend and played with the boys. I also read a good book while we were there called "Confessions of a Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella if anybody is looking for something fun to read. It was a very relaxing trip and very  much needed! 

The house was beautiful!

On our way home!

Rockband BBQ

The other night some of our neighbors invited us and a bunch of people over for a BBQ and Rockband. We had such a fun night. I am not much of a Rockband player but Jeff LOVES it! It was so much fun to watch everybody get so into it! The food was great and we had so much fun. We are loving it out here in Daybreak. We have met some new people and are having a ton of fun with them. Thanks again Kylee and Zac for having us over!

(Jeff gets really into it!) But he is actually pretty good!

The Hills

Last night was the season premier of The Hills. I know I'm dumb but I cant help but watch it! I got together with some girls in the neighborhood and we all watched it together. It was nice that there were no husbands there to make fun of us, and I am sure they appreciated it too! Anyways I found this quiz and thought it would be fun... Which Hills girl are you?

Our Home

Someone asked me the other day to post some pictures of our home, so I thought I would. This is our home and we absolutely love it! It is so much fun being able to live all by ourselves and do whatever we want. I can clean when I want or not clean when I don't feel like it! It is the best and we are so blessed to live here!

This is what the outside looks like, obviously!

This is the Family room (the pictures is taken from the stairs), the wall is actually red but the picture makes it look kinda pink.

This is taken from the Family Room and looking into the Kitchen.

This is our Bedroom, taken from the closet.

And this is the guest bathroom, I LOVE polka dots!

I haven't done anything with the other bedrooms or the basement so I didn't take any pictures of them. But that is our home!

Time Flies When you are Having FUN

Yesterday was the anniversary of Jeff getting home from his mission! I cant believe it has been a year, time has flown by since then. Jeff served his mission in Raleigh North Carolina and loved every minute of it. But I am so glad that it is over and so is he. It was the longest and hardest two years of my life (and his I am sure but it was harder for me!) But I had a lot of friends and family members to help me through it. It was a good experience for Jeff as well as for me. I think it has made us appreciate each other more and the time that we get to spend together. We were both able to grow up a little and really find out what we both want out of life. Anyways I am glad that he served a great mission but I am even more glad that that part of our lives is over and we finally have what we have always wanted! ... And I got rid of that missionary hair-do! 

JuSt MeSsInG aRoUnD

Jeff and I had nothing to do one night so we decided to play a little with the computer cause we haven't really used it much except for the internet. We found lots of new things including a camera that will take your picture in lots of different ways! It was super fun! Even when we have nothing to do it is always fun when we are together!

24th of July

For the 24th of July we headed up to Park City with the Franco's. We shopped and ate and then went to the Alpine Slide. They have a new slide though that is more of a roller coaster so we did that one. It was super fun! 

4 Month Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our 4 month anniversary! I know it is not a milestone but it has definitely been the best 4 months of our lives. Yesterday we headed downtown and went the the California Pizza Kitchen and then headed to the Salt Lake Temple to do a session. I had never been there before other than when we got married. It was such a cool experience. It has been so much fun finally being married! It seems like we have waited forever and now that is it here and happening it goes by so fast! We have grown so much closer and have learned so many things about each other. I have the most amazing husband in the whole world and am so grateful for him and all he does for me. I love you Jefferson!
