wedding day.

getting ready

Wedding dinner the night of the wedding.

Carrie designed her amazing bouquets.

nice huevos

a late easter post.

One night we died eggs at Landons.

And we "kissed our eggs"

On Friday my madre and I started to make easter cupcakes from this book: Hello, Cupcake.

But ended up making less fancy cookies and cupcakes.

The ONLY vegetables Spencer will eat.

to fresh beginnings

two days ago we finally moved into our house.

its already starting to feel like home in a few short days.

i am so happy we are there. and we are going to

be there for a long time, which also makes me happy. 

spencer has been working so hard these past months

at the house while I have been buried in books.

its not totally done, but it will take time.

i feel like its a new fresh start for us.

saturday we moved in while listening to conference.

and while listening to the beautiful words.

we both felt peace in this home.

i haven't lived in idaho for the summer

since 2005 so i am extremely happy we will

here this summer.

  we have a HUGE garden, so we will be spending

a lot of time there come summer.

anyways,this home was spencers grandparents.

it was where his father was raised and

where our children will be raised.

this house is full of meaning and it has a history

there is a legacy behind it and we

want to let the legacy live on.

cheers to new beginnings.

a picturesque trip

I didn't lie. 

It was a trip worth taking pictures of.

We had SOO much fun.

Here are some highlights.

Our sand castle ended up looking like the alamo.

Riding bicycles. Juliene riding her bike into the ditch.

Spencer and his mini bike. The 'supercharger'.

Getting in the hot tub every 5 seconds.

Croquet on the Beach. 

Watching lots and lots and lots of movies. 

Debate over Mr. Holland's kiss on Mr. Holland's Opus.

Playing on pretty beaches.

Spencer saying, "well the thing about it is"

Me thinking trees were planted solely for oxygen.

Astoria.

Delicious food. Salt water taffy.

Car rides.

VOODOO donuts. 

Playing frisbee and Spencer chipping sea shells.

No HOMEWORK. well 2 papers I didn't do.

Spending time with Spencario.

We really had an amazing trip.

I'll let the pictures explain the vacation.

And, LAST but not least.

If anyone can guess what we are doing and where.

I will buy you an ice cream cone :)

(Pics were mostly taken with my Nikon point and shoot, the big mama was just to heavy to lug around)
