Herbert and Hiking!!!

About a month ago I was doing laundry and Brandon came into the laundry room with something in his hands. He asked me to guess what he caught and I told him not to scare me...his smiled and opened his hands and it was a toad (he found it on our drive way)!! I LOVED it, I asked Brand if we could keep it so we put it in a box and went to the store to buy all of the fixins for his home!! We love the little guy, he is so fun! We now have a cricket farm (we got our first shipment of 1,000 crickets and a huge bin to put them in!). Herbie is a mad skilled hunter and eats about 6-10 crickets a day! lol, I talk about him like he is a person, but we really do love the lil guy!!

Herbie trying to be a bad ass and puff up his neck!!

Brandon, Kathy, Mike and I went on a hike to Mt Timpanogos....it was a lot of work, but so much fun! That hike really did kick my butt, and the way down was just as painful as the way up! I felt so bad for all of the people who thought it would be a good "family" outing with their little ones.... They looked miserable! So advice to all you parents...kids do not really enjoy hiking (they like little walks) and who wants to carry a kid up and down a mountain!! Wait till they are older and they can enjoy it!! That is all:) Here are some pics of our little adventure!!

Me and Papa Grande!! He was not ready for the pic but it is still cute!

Kathy and Brandon....I kept taking pictures of them and it was blinding Brand (he kept asking me to stop, but as all of you know I don't listen!!!). Lol.

I know, we are cute!

Brandon practicing carrying a lil baby... jk, we are soooo not there yet!

The whole DamFam!

Us, That hike was a lot more work than I had planned on! I was thinking of a light walk.....I was wrong!

Getting Rid of our Extra Baggage!!

Brandon and I have been trying to get in shape, so that we feel better about ourselves....Let’s just say Brandon is way ahead of me and is looking a ton better, but I am not far behind!! We have been working out and eating right and it really has made a difference!! Here are a few pics that will show what we looked like before and after(I am not going to post my swimsuit pictures until I have a six pack, or something close to it...which may be never, but I am going to try!!) I can totally tell the difference, but I will let you all judge for yourselves!! Brandon has lost about 25lbs and I have lost about 16lbs!!

Before.....

After

We are alive!!!

I know I have not posted since.....holy cow! Last June, but hey we have been busy! I will make a goal that I can actually keep, I think....I am going to try and post once every year! Sound good? I will try to keep the typing to a minimum and just post pictures! A ton has changes since last year, and we are doing really great!

Well, to start off last June I was working at an Endo office (I had started in March) while I was on the waiting list to get into a Dental Hygiene program. I had applied at SLCC and was planning on applying at UVU and Weber. I think it was in July when I got a letter saying I was an alternate for the SLCC program and that I had a chance of getting in......finally at the beginning of August (I think) I got bumped up and got in the program! I quit my job and started school. Which by the way has been one of the hardest things I have ever done, but they say it will be worth it! I am so lucky to have Brandon by my side he is willing to help me with anything and works so hard to support us while I am going to school!

We are still living in Lehi and plan to move once I graduate and find a job, Brandon is still working for West Valley Police Department and he loves his job, which makes me love his job! We try really hard to enjoy life and enjoy each other! Here are a bunch of pictures from the last year... Enjoy!

We just got back from a two week trip to Jamaica!! It was the best trip ever and I can't wait to go again!!

Us laying out by the pool!

After dinner on a private island!

The beach at our hotel! So nice and huge!

Brandon and I walking on the beach! The boat on shore in the background was one of the many guys that tried to sell us weed! The sunsets were amazing.

This was a trip we will never forget, we went snorkeling, scuba diving (our favorite) and even hiked up a waterfall! If you ever get a chance to go to a Sandals resort they are by far worth the money!

We got a new motorcycle! So much fun!

Me, Calli and Randi getting our glitter toes done! These two girls are the best!

In December Brandon and I stayed up at Brighton and learned how to snowboard and relaxed for a week!

Some of the Dental Hygiene Girls!! Luv Them!!

The Gang!! I Love all of these girls and I hope they are all in my life forever!!

Colorado Rockies MLB playoffs! Soooo much fun but soooo cold!!

It snowed the night we were driving to Denver, and we got stuck staying in Cheyenne Wyoming....AKA the butt hole of America!

The only hotel that had openings! And we slept in our clothes on top of the bed! Sick!!!

I thought we were going to die!! So nasty!

Us messing around at the state fair....that place is another world! So many weirdos...but so much fun!
