Presidents Day/Valentines day weekend

By
This long Presidents day weekend we were down in Blackfoot. Kevin had to go down to Ogden early Saturday morning for work but he was back by the late afternoon. So for actual Valentines Day we weren't together very much but it ended up being ok and we survived being apart for part of the day. :) haha. While Kevin was in Ogden I just hung out with my parents and Shawnii. We watched movies, played games and ate way too many cookies. It was a blast. My family is so hilarious and I always have such a fabulous time getting to spend time with them. My mom always makes me laugh so hard with her funny videos she finds on facebook and she always has hilarious stories to tell. My dad stocked up on the cookies to make sure we all had more than enough sugar in our systems to last through the weekend. Shawnii and I played phone games together all weekend and enjoyed watching many chick flicks! :) I can always count on my sisters to spend a weekend doing that!

Sunday we just relaxed together and did the same movies, games and ate a million cookies. Sunday evening we had a birthday dinner for Shawnii. My parents made this delicious chicken and potato dinner. It was SO good! After dinner she opened some presents and then we decided to wait a little while before cake and ice cream. While our food digested Kevin and I went out to visit grandma and grandpa Jensen. Its always nice getting to chat with them. They are so kind and loving to us and have helped us so much since we've been married. I love having them as my grand parents in law :) After that visit we went back to sing happy birthday to Shawnii and eat the delicious cinnamon roll cake (yes CINNAMON ROLL CAKE!) that my dad made. Holy smokes it was SO good and made for a delicious breakfast Monday morning. ;) 

We stayed in Blackfoot until Monday afternoon then headed back up to the burg. We took back highways and side roads all the way up and it was really fun to have a change of scenery. 

We ended the weekend having dinner with Katherine and Justin Monday night. We hung out with them for a few hours and then headed home. It was a fun weekend filled with lots of family time and lots of good food. Unfortunately I took like 2 pictures the whole weekend! So unlike me. Haha. But it was still a fabulous time with family and I'm excited for a four day work week! Woo hoo!!

And now a random sunset picture from the weekend to end...


Gorgeous Idaho sunrises never disappoint! 

Until next time...

Holly :)

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

By
This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

By
My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
