Halloween

For Halloween we invited some friends over for a little party. We cooked some pizza's and had lots and lots of desserts. Tim dressed as a little boy in pajamas. He says this is the one time a year he can dress how he acts. It's so true this year! Shelley was a black cat.

William brought Vanessa as his date. They look like a pretty good couple don't ya think!?

For a game we decided to try a donut eating game. Tim got this idea from a party Kenny and Marlyse had a couple years back so we thought we would try it out. What you do is tie the donuts on a string and hang it from the fan. Then you turn the fan on low and everybody tries eating the donut. We made the mistake of not trying this out beforehand. Everybody got in their places and we turned on the fan. We realized our fan does not have a slow enough mode. The donuts went flying! Most broke off the strings and were flying into people. We had to give up on that game but it was pretty funny for the 2 seconds it lasted.

Kenny and Marlyse came dressed as Kevin Federline and Britney Spears. Hadley came dressed as a cute little giraffe.

Before the party started Shelley was letting Hadley sit by the counter and play with all the candy in the bowl. There was a glass dish that was sitting next to the bowl that was full of chili. Shelley was not paying enough attention and all a sudden Hadley pushed the candy bowl which then knocked the dish off the counter and shattered it. So we all were trying to hurry and clean it up before people came. It wasn't even our dish that broke so we felt really bad!

Tim's pajama bottoms were a little to revealing since they were actual little boy size. We both decided that people would probably appreciate it if he put something over them to cover up. Tim had some Spongebob boxers that he got as a wedding present from Josh so he put those over Top.

Cornbelly's

We decided it would be fun to get together with some of our friends and go to cornbelly's the week of Halloween. It ended up being only 3 of us couples. We went with Kyle and Jackie, and Kevin and Melissa. We had a ton of fun there with all of them. They had a corn maze that was shaped like David Archuleta. There was also another corn maze that was smaller which was haunted. We also went on a a little kiddi ride which was a cow train thing and then we went on a hay ride. When we first got on the hay ride we had to wait like 15 minutes cause they were trying to get the speakers to work so we'd have music along the way. They finally got the music going and we got to leave. The music they were playing was country, which Tim hates! So, after about a minute Tim and his buddies got kinda sick of it so they decided to yank the cord back out so the music stopped. It was funny but i felt bad cause they had been working for a long time on it so it would work. oh well. There was also a haunted blow up dinosaur that we walked through the mouth and come out through it's other end. They had some big pillow balloon trampoline things that we had to jump on as well and some bike things we raced around. Shelley got stuck with a little kid one though. They actually had a ton of things there and we had so much fun!

Shelley had a birthday!

On October 24th Shelley finally turned 21! I got so spoiled! At work me and all the girlies went out to eat at olive garden for lunch. They are all crazy funny girls so it was a ton of fun! They made the waiters sing happy birthday to me as well. After work i went home to find a big sign and balloons outside! Tim took me inside to find a ton of presents waiting for me. I got so many presents that i loved! Tim always spends way to much for me on my birthday!
For dinner we ate at fuddruckers. I thought it would be fun to go to a haunted house since it was a week before Halloween. We drove down to American Fork haunted forest but as soon as we pulled up there were a million people there and the cars were parked about half a mile down the road so we decided it was way to busy and we didn't want to wait for a couple hours to go in. We thought bowling could be fun so we went up the main street there in American Fork. We drove by a DI so we decided to go there instead and see what they have. We ended up finding a Glider chair for pretty cheap.
The next morning everybody came over for cake before the BYU game. I got even more presents from Tim's family. After the game i went up to my parents house because my new sister in law Michelle was having her bridal shower. I got to open even more presents up there and eat more cake. Now you can see just how spoiled i am for my birthday! Thank you everybody for the presents and celebrating it with me!

Nickelcade

After a BYU football game Tim's friends, us, and Shelley's brother Michael all went to the Nickelcade. Tim hit the jackpot on one of the games and won a ton of tickets. At the end we had a total of 400 so Tim got a blow up bat and Shelley got a blow up hammer. Now we can take our anger out on each other without getting hurt!

How fun is this!!!

For family home evening we went ice blocking. We went with the Shillig family and Marlyse and Kenny. Shelley had done this once before and this was Tims first time. It ended up being a ton of fun! All the girls raced, then all the boys raced, and of course each couple had to race also. I'm pretty sure Tim got a head start in our race.

Believe it or Not! It's been a whole year!

August 18th was our one year anniversary. This last year went by so so fast. Timothy's boss was super nice and hooked us up with a hotel in Park City. There were no single rooms left so we got stuck with the sweet!!! Our room had 2 floors and had beds enough to fit about ten people. We had a kitchen as well as our own deck which had our very own personnel hot tub!! The hotel room was awesome!

Since we stayed in Park City we of course had to go down the Alpine Slides. Tim had never done this before so it was pretty exciting.
Poor Tim picked a sled that was broken. The back wheel kept dragging the whole way down so Tim couldn't go fast. Shelley made it all the way down and turned around to see tim walking his sled down from a ways up! Not the best first time but it still was fun! Hopefully next time the sled will work.

That night we went to main street for dinner and walked around there for a while.

BYU Football!

We got all sports passes at BYU again this year. They changed up the way of selling the tickets this year and part of that was to have the same seats for every game. We are so glad for that this year!! Our seats are in the North end zone on the 7th row!! It's so much fun sitting that close! We have a group of our friends that all sit by us as well. At each game we also a bbq either before of after the game. We have all our friends and Shelleys family come and eat while we wait for the traffic to get better. Kenny, Marlyse, William, and Josh are so nice to let us still come use the lawn to do this even after we have moved. Thanks you guys!

Finally Everybodys Together!

The first of August was really crazy for us. Timothy's parents moved here to Utah, William came home from his mission, the Claytons came to visit, and we moved! We had to wait for the new house to be ready for us to move in, which was August 4th. This happened to also be the same day William got home. We went and picked him up at the airport and then came straight home and tried packing what we could and moving into the new house. We did as much as we could before needing to return the truck to the company. After that we rushed home to Williams homecoming party. As soon as that was over we hurried and grabbed as much as we could fit in our car and left for the house. It was a very very exhausting day.

While everybody was here we decided to have a space derby. We're not really sure who technically won but we know everyone would agree to say Tim and Shelley deserved first.

Spanish Fork Rodeo

On the 24th of July we got to go see a rodeo in Spanish Fork. Shelley's brother in Law does Professional Rodeo for a living so we got to watch him. Timothy had never seen Clint in a rodeo before so we're glad we got to go. He only did the calf roping for this rodeo but usually he does the team roping and bulldogging as well.

Clint is in the blue shirt putting on his hat

Provo Falls

On our way home from camping we stopped at Provo Falls. When you first get out there are the bigger falls which are very pretty. But as you walk up further there are a lot more. We kept walking up further and the waterfalls went on forever. It was so pretty. We highly recommend going there!

Last day of camping

The day we left was on a sunday so we were not able to go fishing. We took both of Shelley's families dogs. The big dogs name is Tangy and the small one is Cricket. When we started putting stuff in the car the big dog Tangy decided she didn't want to be left. She jumped in the back and we could not get her out. She sat there for about 2 hours while we packed up all of our camping gear. It was really funny!

We went camping last year before we got married. On the last day we decided to take a picture of us in the raft before we left. This year we decided we needed to do the same to keep tradition. This first one is from this year and the one below was from last year. We loved going camping but we both agreed we wouldn't want to go for longer than we did. It was the perfect length. We hope to still be able to go camping each year because it's so much fun!

Fishing

While we were up camping we got to fish. Shelley's parents have 2 rafts that we use to go out on the lake. Most of the fish were caught out on the rafts so we were glad we had them.







We both caught some fish. There was a total of 9 between the two of us. Tim hasn't fished that much before so when we went he realized how much fun it really was. Shelley would do the paddling the whole time so Tim could let out his line and not need to reel it in the whole time pretty much. We had a competition with her family to see who caught the first, the biggest, and the most fish up there. we're pretty sure we won the most!
