Kelsey's wedding

Last week we had the opportunity to attend Kelsey's wedding in Idaho Falls. She was married on Valentine's Day. The wedding ceremony was quite short and then we headed over to a different building for the luncheon. Kelsey looked so nervous during the ceremony, but then at the luncheon the were smiling and excited. We were glad we were able to support Kelsey on her big day. I hope you all like the pictures.

A new style

Cory and I are always looking for the one and only belt Tyler has. It always just seems to be lost. Well, Cory came up with this fabulous idea one day while I was at work. He took one of his old belts from his mission and poked a bunch of new holes in it. He called me at work and told me of his idea. I really didn't think twice about it until I took Tyler to Scouts with me and he had this weird thing sticking out if his back. Well, it was the belt all folded together. I thought it was pretty funny.

Swimming at the Marriot

So, everyone knows that Ted travels for his job. Well, he just happened to be working here in Pocatello for a few days. We, of course, just had to go swimming at his hotel. He had too much work to join us, but we sure had fun. Well, Cory and I did. Tyler, on the other hand, HATED it. He was okay in the hot tub, when he was standing on the ledge or seat on his own, but once we tried to get him into deeper waters, he screamed and screamed. He really like sitting on the edge of the pool with his feet in the water so he could splash and splash. It was really nice to go out and do something different for a change this winter. Thanks Ted.

OUCH!!!

Cory and I were cooking in our small kitchen and I reached up to get something out of the cupboard above the stove. OUCH!! I looked down and I had burnt my belly on the edge of a cast iron skillet. At first I couldn't tell where I had burnt myself, but later that evening the blisters appeared.

Gross.

Charlie bit me!

Tyler went POTTY in the toilet

We've been trying to get Tyler to use the toilet for a week or so now. Well, today he finally went to the bathroom in the toilet. YEAH. We were so excited and clapped after words. He was so proud of himself. I think we're on a good start to potty training.

Donut

Yesterday we decided to get some donuts for breakfast. I was having a mad craving for an old fashioned, glazed donut. We let Tyler pick out a donut of his choice. He picked out one with chocolate frosting with red and blue stripes on it. Well, little did we know how messy it would be. He got blue frosting everywhere. On his head, in his hair, and all over his hands. It was pretty cute and Tyler loved it. Good thing I had a craving for a donut.

Yummy!!

I like frosting.

I don't like getting my face wiped off though.

Happy again.

Happy Birthday to US

Cory is waiting for the party to start. I was sick and so my wrapping wasn't very good. Notice the blanket in the background covering Cory's gift.

This was given to us by Cory's sister Amy. She put a collection of Tyler's pictures together and it looks really good. I really like it.

It was fun having Tyler help us open the gifts. He loved the wrapping paper.

On January 16th Cory turned 30 and on January 18th, I turned 26. We first celebrated with Mom and Dad, Jenni and Ted, and Abby and Juliette on the 19th. We had a lovely dinner with them and opened some gifts. It was really fun to see everyone and visit. I was feeling a little sick that day, so I sat on the couch for most of the night. Then, a few days later we got together with the Miles family. We had everyone over for ice cream and a celebration. It was pretty fun. Thanks everyone for celebrating our big days with us!!!!!

Idaho on the Web...again

I was skimming through the articles on Serious Eats, a food blog I subscribe to, when I came across another mocking reference to our neck of the woods, this time in the form of a commercial from the early 80's.

Mrs. Jones

Mrs. Jones was Cory's grandma's next door neighbor. Cory used to mow her lawn and he treated her pretty much like a second grandma. Well, last Friday was her 100th birthday. She lives in Idaho Falls now, and so we traveled there to attend her 100th birthday party. It was very sweet. She can't talk very much, but she acted as though she had a lot to say and a lot was on her mind. She really took a liking to Tyler and Tyler really liked her. Tyler even grabbed her hand at one point and held it and then she started to try to sing to him. It was so adorable. I'm so glad that I was able to catch this tender moment between Mrs. Jones and Tyler. It's not everyday that you get to meet a 100 year old person.
