Memorial Day Weekend 2009

Brian and I were able to go to Moses Lake, WA for Memorial Day weekend this to visit Brian's side of the family. It was so fun to be with his parents and both sibling's families.

Snowboarding

So for Brian's 23rd birthday I decided to take him snowboarding since he hadn't been since before his mission and he had been doing it since he was 8. Unfortunately, on his birthday, January 27th, he went golfing with a bunch of his dad's friends and ended up straining his back (we all know how strenuous golfing can be, especially when trying to keep up with men in their 50's). So my birthday present seemed a little ruined but it was too late to do anything about it. He was such a sweetheart though and just walked up and down the bunny hill with me as I learned for that first day. I wasn't so good at first but we still had a good time!

Robert & Marty went too they are so amazing!! This one was at Sierra Summit

Yeah my husband's a stud....

Married!!! July 30th, 2008

Brian & I were married on July 30th, 2008 in the Oakland temple. Once again, my amazing sister-in-law, Lynn Watkins, took the pictures and did absolutely amazing!

This picture is hillarious! T.J. started crying and my mom figured that since Brian was already holding one screaming child it wouldn't hurt to put another one on!

Getting engaged March 29th, 2008

Brian and I got engaged on March 29th, 2008 and I'm sure this doesn't happen a lot but I was COMPLETELY surprised! He took me to a coffee house in Santa Maria, CA where his friend Rhett was playing a show (Rhett is an amazing singer/songwriter). On the second to last song he had Brian go up on stage to sing the song he wrote for me the month earlier for Valentine's Day and Brian acted all surprised so I didn't think anything of it. Afterwards he got on one knee in front of everybody there and asked me to marry him and, of course, I said yes! He even picked out the ring completely by himself! What a great catch.....


Here are just a few of our favorite engagement pictures, compliments of our amazing photographer, Lynn Watkins!
