We had a big ping pong tournament at the Broadheads... Brother Broadhead and I had an intense championship game for the #1 winner... he won... but, hey I got 2nd place out of 3 boys!
Brother and Sister Broadhead!!
Brother and Sister Smith!!! THEY MAKE ME LAUGH SOOO HARD!! I love them!!
And then the Green's are pictured below... They are SO much fun too!! The Smiths are Tiffany Greens parents...

Dean and I went back to Florida a couple weeks ago to visit Dean's mission... We had an absolute blast! I loved getting to know the people that Dean got so closed to... There was one man in particular that I didnt get to visit.. His name is David. He was a 91 year old jewish man..but. Dean baptized him, and he passed away a couple months later... Dean was already home when he passed. But he was the sweetest old man.. He would call me on the phone and talk to me when Dean was on his mission.. I look forward to meeting this man in the next life... Dean loves him so much.. A big thanks to the Greens for letting us stay at your house, the Smiths for the amazing meal and laughs and the Broadheads who let us stay and eat with them in Jesup Georgia... I look forward to visiting again!

movies and crafts..

Uncle Dean and Auntie Bugaboo took all the older niece and nephews to see the movie Tangled. It was SUCH a cute movie, all the kids loved it and were so good during the whole movie.. Even William. :) All they needed was a little popcorn! It was a fun bonding day! Not to mention it was Uncle Dean's idea.
Playing games after the movie was over
How cute they all are watching the movie... (The movie was over when we took this picture)
We had craft night over at our house the other day with me, my mom and all my sisters... I told the kids they could come too and we'd put a movie on for them down stairs... We had pizza and and treats and we made these cute little blocks.. Thanks to Dean for cutting all the blocks, sanding them and painting them... hahah he's the best... Then we cut out these vynal letters on my awesome cricut. I wish I got a picture of everyone's blocks..


I guess I'm on a crafting streak.. because I decided to make us some curtains for our kitchen. They turned out so cute.. I'll have to post a picture of them up along with our new painted cabinets in our kitchen...
Life has been good lately.. Dean and I are just enjoying the holidays and enjoying hanging out with our family!!

BEFORE and AFTER

HERE IT IS!!!!!!!! IT'S DONE!!!! MY HUSBAND IS AMAZING!! YES, HE DID BUILD THAT FRONT DOOR, AND YES HE DID BUILD THOSE SHUTTERS! It is such a transformation! And I am so proud of it! The very first picture is when we bought the house and the grass was DEAD then the second one was right before we started our paint/stone process.. That is one big check mark off our to do list.. I love you Dean! Thanks for all you do!!

My Bike

Dean bought me a bike last week because we've been wanting to go on a bike ride... but I didnt have one! NOW I DO!! We've gone 3 days in a row and let me tell ya... I can feel it! My butt is SO sore! But, we are having soooo much fun! The weather is perfect! This is our new hobby and we are lovin it!

life lately...

It's been so much fun being back in St. George with the familia! Just a few pictures of what's going on in our life... We went camping for the first time since we've been married! I've been wanting to go forever... and we finally went with Dean's family! We had a lot of fun!

We've watched my little niece Brydee play in her soccer game!

We have been working on our house A TON! We painted the outside and put stone up... Dean is in the process of building us a new front door and shutters to match... they should be up by the end of this week! Then I will be posting BEFORE and AFTER pictures!! It has changed the look of the house so much! It looks GREAT! And I am so grateful for a husband who knows how to do it all!!!

I threw a bridal shower for Carla... which is one of Deans best friends (Nathaniel Bennions wife).. She is from Argentina and is the sweetest girl ever! We had a lot of fun at their reception... The tripod was reunited (Tanner Gatchell, Nathaniel Bennion and Dean Mills) They were dancing like they did in high school and it was hilarious!

PAXTON turned ONE YEAR OLD!! He is my best friends son... He is like my own... I pretend like he is.. and I always threaten Brianna that I'm going to steal him and run away one day! I love him so much!!

And... my mother in law ran the marathon! I am so proud of her and think that is such an awesome accomplishment! I WILL run the marathon one of these days!!!

Dean and I are just enjoying life and having so much fun together...

That's all for now! :)

Guatemala

Dean and I went to Guatemala this last weekend with my brother Jason and his wife Andrea. We had SO much fun! We rode around on mopeds all day and saw all of Antigua. It was so humbling being there and seeing how the people live. It makes me so grateful for what I have. We had some interesting food.... some GREAT and some NASTY.. It was a neat experience and I'm glad we were able to go.... (sorry I dont ever feel like writing much... pictures are just better) :)
