Saturday Activities

This Saturday was a blast! We had a lot going on & a lot of events to get to. We started out with Breakfast with Santa @ Thanksgiving Point with Tyler's Family. My sister Amber & her little boy Tage tagged along with us, I loved having her there! Tage loved it too, & I think all of the kids loved Tage! Connor who is 4 just adores him along with Jaxon & Hailey. (A lot of Mothers were there to help out)! It was really fun. They started with a really nice breakfast & while everyone ate they had the Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, a Polar Bear, & a Ginger bread man walk around to chat & take pictures with the kids! After breakfast they had fun activities for the kids to do & a chance to sit on Santa's lap. I think we will do it again next year.

They just love their uncle Ty!



Eating our yummy Breakfast!
French Toast, Eggs, Potatoes, Bacon, & Sausage!


Connor took every chance at holding Tage!







Saturday = Sports for the Tucker's

For anyone who knows Tyler knows how much he loves sports!
If you need to know any score to any game just ask Ty!

After breakfast is was off to Salt Lake for the BYU vs Michigan State game! Ty served part of his mission on their campus so he was very excited to go! We had great seats!



After the intense game we then met up with Bree & Ryan at their house in Salt Lake! We love hanging out with them!! We had a blast just goofing around, watching movies, & eating treats!! It was a really good way to end the busy day!

Progressive Dinner

Last night for FHE we had a progressive dinner with the Tucker family. It has now officially become a Christmas tradition!! Ty & I are very excited about it! We all had so much fun! We started at Ty's sister Jaime's house for appetizers. She made some really fun stuff, pigs in a blanket and these yummy spinach & feta quiche things! Then onto his parents for main course, home made chicken noodle soup, salad, & rolls. Then last but not least our house for desert! Ty & I made home-made ice cream sandwiches! I love spending time with Ty's family! We have so much fun together! We are so lucky to have them so close too! We really missed Ty's Sister Natalie & her husband Matt last night! Hopefully they get to make it next year.

Jaime & Jared's

Ty's Parents

Our House

By the end of the night the boys needed to get their energy out! They had a lot of fun wrestling with each other! Preston who is 2 was declared the winner!

Our Tree

We love this time of year but, can't believe it's Christmas time already! This year has flown by! We are so excited we live so close to our families & get to spend the holiday's with them. After last year we decided to go with a pre lit tree! It's quite smaller than our old one but, is just perfect for our little basement apartment! A lot easier too!!!! I still have a lot of wrapping to do. Can't wait to get it done and fill our tree!

Home Sweet Home

Here are some fun things we have done since arriving home from florida.

Disneyland!

Here is Tyler getting ready to sing a Bajio Jingle for Channel 2 News @ 5:00 am. Grand Prize is Bajio for 1 year! Tyler's Brother in-law wrote the jingle but couldn't make it that morning to sing it, so he asked Tyler if he would. He told Tyler if he won he could keep the prize! Ty was all about it when he heard it was for Mexican food! We had a lot of fun but, we were not prepared for what we would go up against!

My work gave me tickets for the jazz game and a VIP dinner! We had a blast.

Miami, Florida

What an adventure is all I have to say!
This past summer Ty and I packed up our things and moved to Sunrise, Florida. It is smack dab in the middle of Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. We lived there from April til September. Ty was working for APX Alarms to complete an internship for his degree. It was a blast. We had a lot of fun & met A LOT of new friends! It is quite different down there. Fun to vacation but not to live. We got to do and see a lot of fun things. We lived 15 min away from the beach in a very nice area. We also lived right across the street from the biggest outlet mall in America. The wives had a lot of fun there while the husbands were out working! A lot of crime happened just 1 block away on a daily basis glad we made it out alive! Just kidding! We were so thankful for the opportunity to move away & for all the things we learned along the way. We will cherish these memories forever!



Our apartment.



Here are some homes in our neighborhood. This size is just average for our neighborhood! They are so beautiful & made our Sunday drives quite fun.



When it rains it pours!! It rained at least once or twice a day. The thunder & lightning is really like the movies where it just flashes and fills the whole room. They were so much fun to watch!






Beach Day!! Only living about 15 min away from the beach we got to visit quite often. Here we are with some friends one day before work. The beach's are very pretty. We never got to see them like you do on CSI Miami though. I am sure we just hit the wrong season for that.

Play Ball!!!!

Here we are at a softball tournament. $1,000.00 in the pot for the team who wins! Our office separated into 4 teams and played each other for about 2 weeks for the jackpot! WE WON!!!!

Ok... So as we all know Miami is the hot spot for vacationing! It was a lot of fun to be down there and see all of the things we did! We were only allowed 2 days off of work for the whole summer, so for our 2 days Ty took off for my birthday and our 1st year anniversary! Never knew I would be back living there one whole year later. It was really fun. we drove back down to the hotel we stayed in on our honeymoon before we sailed off to the Caribbean for 8 days! It was really fun! But only 2 days off is not enough time to see everything. So Ty ended one week early and we did our own mini vacation. Here are some of the fun things we got to go & do.

TLC's hit show Miami Ink. They were not filming today but still opened to customers.

Jungle Cruise. Ty surprised me on my birthday with a dinner cruise for 2. It included dinner, a show, & a trip down millionaires row! The first yaught you see belongs to someone famous with the last name Griffen. He ended up dying in August. The houses were insane!!!!

Billy Swamp Safari! This was so much fun! We took an air boat into a cove full of alligators. Then onto a buggy ride to see the rest of the sites! This was one of the highlights for me!



Disney World!

For our Anniversary Ty surprised me clear back in May with tickets. We had so much fun! The safari ride was my favorite!
