Vegas trip!

A couple weekends ago we decided to go to Las Vegas for a couple days to celebrate our birthdays. We have been wanting to go down there for a while, and it finally worked out. Natalie and Trent are amazing and decided at the spur of the moment to come and go with us. We are SO SO happy they came! We don't get to see them much, so it was great to spend time with them. We saw all the sights and went to the jousting show at the Excalibur, which is always a blast! Brett and I had both seen it when we were younger and enjoyed seeing it again. We didn't come back with any money, we came back negative. I guess we all learn! We loved the fountains at the Bellagio! They are so amazing! It was fun to get away and have a break from our busy lives and spend time with Natalie and Trent! We miss them lots!

The world's largest running chocolate fountain! I had to put this on because you all know I LOVE chocolate! Yum!

Thanks for coming you guys! We had a blast!

It was a great trip to celebrate our birthdays! Brett got me flowers and took me out to eat on my actual birthday. Thanks for all the birthday wishes! We love and appreciate all of you! Now we are just back to our usual routine! Nothing too exciting. We can't wait for another get-away. That one will be to Price for his birthday and Danae's bridal shower!

Christmas and more!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season! We sure did! Brett went on his trip to Mexico and had a great time. He went with his group of pre-med and pre-dental students to volunteer down there. He had a wonderful time volunteering with DP, James, and everyone else!








I was stuck here in St. George for that week because of the snow storms I was not able to make it home. It was weird having nothing to do!
When he got back from Mexico we were able to make it up to Price to stay for a couple weeks with our families. We really enjoyed seeing family and friends! We had a wonderful holiday! We were able to spend time with family playing games, watching movies, and eating delicious food! Thanks for making our first Christmas GREAT!

Above is Grandma Riche when we were at her house on Christmas for Christmas eve dinner and presents. She is an amazing lady who is a great blessing in our lives! We missed all of Brett's cousins that weren't able to make it! Hopefully we will see them soon!

This is Jason, Heidi, the girls, and their new puppy Boo that Santa brought them. Nicole (the one in the red shirt) was really excited about the puppy, but the other two girls weren't as excited. It was fun to see them unwrap the puppy at Nana's and Grand-dad's house where Santa left the puppy. He is a really cute puppy!



Here is baby Joshua. He is getting big! He is a happy little boy!
















Along with those things we were able to go snowboarding with friends and out to dinner with them. We had a blast! My Uncle Gary also took the two of us flying in his airplane! That was fun too! I had not ever been in a small plane, we flew around Price and got to see things up close that I never thought I would see like that! It was way fun! Thanks Uncle Gary! We missed seeing my cousins this year since Salinda is in Japan and Gabe was working. We also didn't get to have the Needles Christmas party, but next year! We look forward to seeing everyone!


For New Years Eve we spent the night with the Riches playing games. We had lots of fun! Here is a picture of everyone just after the new year.










Of course on New Years day was Mom N. birthday! We had a fun day with her playing games and being together.

Now we are back to work and school. Brett has a hard semester with lots of classes, but I know he will do great like he always does! It is my last semester! I will graduate with my RN in May. I can't wait! We hope everyone enjoys this new year and the journeys that await all of us!
