Cut it all off!

I was itchin' for a new style! what better way then going to the extreme!!

Candy or Caramel?

Do you prefer Candy Apples or Caramel Apples? We love them both so we got the kids over to Mimi's house and home made some yummy apples! Brittany and I tackled the candy apples and let mom help the kids with the caramel, letting them add sprinkles and chocolate toppings!

Tiffany's Baby Shower

My friend Tiffany Morris is having a baby and so we threw her a Baby Shower at Brittany's house! We themed it Dr. Suess! Brittany is so creative that way!
we turned here downstairs into Suess land! The refreshments all coordinated with a different Dr. Suess book! It was a lot of fun setting up and everyone enjoyed our creativity! My sister-in-law Jennifer even made a Dr. Suess Hat Cake! it was yummy!

Painting Pumpkins

We painted pumpkins for Family Home Evening! Ryann's school was having a painted pumpkin contest so we decided we would all paint some pumpkins! Ryann and I painted Witches, Seiler painted some cars and some other stuff :) Mom painted leaves and vines on hers, Brittany helped mom and Josh helped Seiler! It was a lot of fun!

Seiler in Chueca’s Bed

Chueca is very protective of her bed! she hates it when anything or anyone gets in it! Seiler loves to torment her and he does it often. She kept barking at him and running over to me trying every attempt to tattle on him!!








I guess she gave up trying to get him out and decided she'd try to out smart him by sharing!!

New puppy Maggie

The Bartelme's got a new addition to their family!! Maggie is such a sweet new puppy! Her and Chueca made their acquaintance! they had lots of fun! We think she's part Heeler part Lab... but we will never know for sure! She is such a cutie and that's all we care about!

The Reception

Our reception was amazing! We really out did ourselves! Thanks to Mommy and Daddy for paying for it and all our family and friends who helped! Thanks to all those who attended making it truly a memorable night for us all!!

Getting ready for the reception

We got home late Wednesday! but there was lots to do so we got going early Thursday to prep for the Ultimate Reception :)





We found these beautiful Chinese Lanterns for a great price so we bought all that they had...around 300!!





Kent and Caleb drove in from Tenn. they went with Josh to pick up the chairs and then we talked them into setting up table since they were already there :)






Look at my new husband!! doesn't he look so handsome! He love enjoying a little fun during all his hard work!





Look at those late night workers!! Our Bishop and his wife came to help put the table decor together, along with mom, dad, and sisters Brittany, and Jennifer!






Everything is finally coming together! Can't wait to party! Thanks to all who helped I am so appreciative of all their hard work and dedication!

My Wedding!

The day I've been waiting my whole life for... The BEST day of my Life! Josh and I were married in the Logan Utah Temple at noon on Sept 18th! We were the only couple married there that day which made it extra special! The day was truly ours! Lots of friends and family were there to share in our excitement! It was truly a dream come true! My heart and mind were at total peace! Nothing could have made our day more divine! Being in the Temple with those who we hold most dear was the best feeling for this day! Thanks for all there love and support! We were only in Utah for the day. We flew in the night before to Salt Lake City, and got to Logan at 2 am. Then we spent our first night the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake City and flew home the next day! It was a quick trip but definitely well worth it! We had an amazing photographer! I was so impressed with his talent and creativity! He captured the very essence of our day!(hope you enjoy the pictures! just click on the slide show to view larger)

Cardinals Game

Brittany and Brandon got a bunch of tickets to the Cardinal's game the weekend Lee came home from his mission... We went to the game and it got rained out so since May we've been trying to go back and used the tickets... Well this was the last weekend of the season and so Brandon invited us all to go! He couldn't just waste the tickets!!! Well my friend Tiffany and her husband joined in on the fun!

Practice hair and Makeup

I went and got my hair done to practice for the big day.... the hairdresser had no idea what she was doing and so I ended up going home and doing it my self! I had my makeup done at the MAC counter... it was free but due to time limitations I figured I'll do my own make up for the wedding as well as my hair!!

More showers!!

My friend Tiffany threw me two Bridal Showers! One with girls from the Singles Ward were i was attending prior to getting married and one for the ladies in the Family Ward were i would be attending afterwards! They were both tons of fun! With the Single girls we went to Argentina's Steak House which was exquisite! The girls were given magazines and pictures of Josh and me to made scrapbook pages about our future! It was so funny! The other shower was at Tiffany's house and we had tons of fun there too! This time I got all the answers right to the questions asked! Yea!!

Visiting the Denver Temple

On our way home from Utah we stopped in Colorado to stay the night at Patty's house!! It was so good to see her and Dustin! While there Brittany, Josh and I decided to do to the Denver Temple! it was small but so beautiful! We ended up staying an extra day so we would be well rested! Thanks Patty for your hospitality!

Marriage License

Josh and I went to the courthouse to get our Marriage License While we were in Utah!
