Glitter Toes

I threw a Glitter Toe party at my house tonight. Kyler's sister Michele came and did our toes for us and it turned out really fun. Thanks to all who came and for those who didn't, maybe next time! If you want to throw your own Glitter Toe party let me know and I'll get you the info. (Bry) :) Thanks Michele for coming and doing that for all of us!

I made some cookies to go along with the glitter theme.

1 Year

Kyler and I celebrated our first anniversary yesterday. We can't believe its already been a year. We've loved every minute of being married and we're excited for an eternity together!






For our anniversary we went to do a session at the Salt Lake Temple. It was a perfect way to spend the morning. We were able to spend the rest of the day together. Thanks Kyler for a great day!


And he bought flowers for me and arranged them all by himself. He thought it would be fun since I do flowers. He's a pro!

Boondocks

We spent Friday with Kyler's family hanging out at Boondocks. We mostly played with the go carts doing quite a few laps. It was pretty fun!

Gordon Ramsay's Fajitas with sour cream and guac

It's not often that I (Kyler) get on here to do a post. I usually just make requests to Angie for monthly recipes, etc. I really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, so for christmas I got 3 cookbooks. 2 of Gordon Ramsay's (one from Dave and Michele and one from Joe and Jen) and Angie bought me a Rachael Ray. I've been trying to make new things out of my books whenever I can and there are a few that we've made a couple times. The fajitas are one of these. Angie has never been huge on Fajitas because they tend to be a little to "saucy" and overbearing, but she loves these ones. As with most of Gordon's recipes, there's no extra fluff. They're very fresh and simple, but super good. Not much in terms of sauce with these. Just well seasoned meat and veggies. I definitely suggest making the guac though. It really adds to them. Also, make sure not to skip over the part in the recipe about adding your veggies and meat when the pan is very hot. You don't want the meat to sit and dry out or become tough. Get them in a hot pan, and get them out fast. To make them even better, we buy the uncooked tortillas (Costco or Harmons is where we get them) and cook them as needed. The Salmonds have been buying them for a while and I love them!



Enjoy...

Gardens & Gamers

I asked my Mom a while back if we could use her garden this year while they are in Montana and she said yes. I've been really excited to do my own garden. I used to hate gardening and doing yard work but doing it with Kyler has been a lot of fun. We went over there a week ago and Kyler mowed, aerated, and power raked the lawn while I cleaned up the strawberry patch.... He was there a little bit longer than I was :) We went back today to get the garden ready to plant. Its been a couple years since my parents have used the garden so there was a little bit of work to be done to get it ready. We are almost to the point to put some veggies in the ground!

We also had a BBQ at our place on Saturday! Jenny & Mitch brought their Wii for everyone to play. This picture is one I caught at the party. Definitely some serious gamers! Thanks to all who came!
