Colder Weather

4 Months and no vacation....pretty much torture! That is why Eric and I both were soooooo !!!!!!!!EXCITED!!!!!! to get out of Utah for a long weekend! Of course it was conference weekend so that meant Eric's parents had the cabin.... the same cabin we spent our honeymoon at! We hadn't been back there since then too...almost a year (crazy)...anywho, the only way to get up there right now is on snow machines...how fun is that? right? Awesome...So needless to say we were both game when his parents invited us up. They went up a day earlier then us, but we were able to pick up our sled at the bottom of the canyon friday afternoon. It's a 30 mile ride up to the cabin...and it was a beautiful sight all the way there. Spring is definitely coming...and the trees are turning green again, and the sky was so blue!

While we were there we did a lot of fun stuff but here is a short list:

Watch Conference
Go for snowmobiling rides
Eat lots of yummy meals
Build a snowman
Go fishing
Play Farkle (a super fun game with dice)
Watch movies
The end

Pictures for Fun:

Out enjoying the beautiful weather on one of our rides!

Ewwww...ok ignore the ALL NAT-UR-AL look I got going on..we are in the woods....I can get away with no makeup, right?

My huge trout I caught!

My father-in-law Van teaching me how to gut/skin a fish! I learned lots! :)

Well that is about it for our weekend trip. We will probably be traveling up to Rexburg and Star Valley in weeks to come for a couple baby blessings...but other than that, it might be a little while before our next trip..STUPID WORK!

Happy Hunger Games

I'm still EXCITED writing this post!!!! My girly friends and I got ADVANCE tickets to a showing of the HUNGER GAMES Thurseday Night on the 22, BEFORE it showed at midnight! It was so FUN to go with the girls...although I had to deal with a pouting husband who was a little bitter who couldn't come with :( I felt so sad when I had to leave him at home behind, but he managed hahaha! Like everyone else, Sydney, Janelle, Steff, and Ihave been looking forward to this movie for a LONG time! All 4 of us have read the books, so of course we were more critical of the movie then maybe someone who hadn't, but We all thought that they still did a great job with it, and that it was DEFINITELY BETTER quality than the Twilight movies!

Yeah Buddy! Notice the "ADVANCE"

This is how many hours EARLY we got to see the movie before everyone else!

Till next time, may the odds be ever in your favor.

!Time Flies!

I feel like I have a lot of stuff to catch up on but I guess it's really not that much. To make this easier on me and you, a pic and a short bit on each thing will have to suffice.

Story's 1st Birthday!

Our friends Shellena and Carson's little girl Story Rae turned 1, so I drove to Provo for the party! The theme was Dr. Seuss and it turned out so cute! I wish I would have gotten pics of all the cute decor. Even all the food was Dr. Seuss themed. Story really wasn't into her cake as much as she was into the plastic cake topper! 

Eventually Shellena just started rubbing the cake all over story to make her look like she really dug into the cake! hahaha It was so fun to see them! I miss hanging out with Shellena all the time!

I started this cleanse I found on Pinterest because it looked like it would be good to try. I'd never done one before so I didn't know what to expect really. Basically I had to pee every ten minutes. :) The first day you have to eat all fruit..no bananas, and drink 10 glasses of water. Well I drove to the grocery store to get everything I would need for the cleanse and somehow I still ended up bringing home 3 boxes of girl scout cookies. I was good and waited till the cleanse  was over to eat some, but Eric devoured the whole box of thin mints by then. Bahahaha

The fruit part wasn't too bad and I've been trying to eat more of it ever since the cleanse.

Making it all available, (having it all chopped and rinsed) made eating fruit easier for me.

Last Saturday night Eric and I went to Wiseguys...It's a really fun comedy club and we had a blast. It was something different for us to do....which I've been hinting at for a while now to Eric. You can only do dinner and a movie so many times before you need a change. Eric and I switch off taking turns planning our date nights, and he did really good that night!! :) Lachlan Patterson was the headliner comedian that night and he was so funny!

Waiting for the show to start the club was playing the basketball game for everyone!!

You could order food and drinks for the show...I was on my cleanse at the time and all I could eat was fruit so I brought my food in a ziploc while Eric ordered chicken fingers and french fries...talk about torture!

To watch Lachlan Patterson!

We also had a few visitors last weekend and I had to post this picture cause I thought it was so cute! Eric is so cute with his new nephew Rhett, I can't wait till we start having babies!! He'll be such a good dad!!!

March 14 was PI day! you know 3.14 kinda pi! hahaha So Eric and I joined in on all the pi and went to THE PIE Pizza Cafe for dinner.

It's actually a really cool place and they were much busier than usual so we sat upstairs on the second level!

The piece of Pie we celebrated with! This is the kind of pie I prefer! :)

Yummy!

Well thats all for now...I wish I had something cool to post for St. Patrick's Day but all I did was go to the Doctor and run errands....Eric worked and so we really didn't do anything special! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Girls Night

It's Friday night and Eric is working late as usual! I was bored and my friends called me and said they were going to Texas Roadhouse, so I said "I'm coming with!" It was fun just hanging with the girls! I am so glad to have them here in Utah with me!!! They keep me sane I swear! I love them sooooo much! We had fun just chatting and catching up...we usually go hot tubbing at least once a week so we catch up regularly, but it was nice to get out of the house. Living in the same apartment complex as my best friends as it's perks! :) Love these girls!

Waitin for a table outside...it was Freezing!

Sydney and Janelle...besties :)

Me and Steff...rooming in college was the best EVER!

Friends for life!

!!TGIF!!

9 Months

So 9 Months Married and we are still going strong! Married life is go GREAT! I truly believed I married the most thoughtful and sweetest man on earth. He treats me like a princess and I LOVE that! He would do anything for me, and knowing that as well as supporting each other in all our decisions we make is what makes us so strong. We don't always agree about everything but we are great at communicating, and are honest, and respectful of each other. I love this man and I'm so happy to spend the rest of eternity proving to him that I am the LUCKY ONE, not vice versa. Last night Eric and I went bowling to celebrate our little milestone. I took a few shots of the night....and I wanted to post so everyone knew...that I beat Eric!!! Yep it was pretty FANTASTIC!

I love his stance!

I win...and yes Eric gave us these nicknames! 

Rhett Hale Scherbel

It all started last night when Eric and I took Kyli and Brooklyn out for ice cream. I kept cracking jokes about how we were going to make Kyli go into labor early. Kyli was scheduled to be induced on Friday. We dropped off about 10:00pm. Her water broke at 3:30 am and after pushing through two contractions the baby was here at 5:30 am!!! She went crazy fast!!! Well at 7am I got a phone call from her saying that Eric and I were now the new proud uncle and aunt of a baby boy. I drove over to Daybreak to pickup Brooklyn, she was still at Dan's sisters house and no one was going to be there to watch her during the day. Thank goodness it was my day off work this week. So after going to pick up baby girl, and our short trip to H&R block to do our taxes we drove over to the hospital so Brooklyn could meet her baby brother for the first time, and well lets be honest for me to cuddle the cutie pie too. Eric was excited too, but sometimes he keeps emotions bottled up...I think to show he's manly. So here are a few pics from the visit....We are so Happy for Dan and Kyli....they named him Rhett Hale Scherbel, he weighed 6lbs and 2oz and was 19.5 inches long.

On our little outing to coldstone last night

Eric posted this video to my phone one morning! Love him and his little surprises that make me smile! :)

Be Mine Valentine

Valentine's Day this year was celebrated at home this year. Eric has been sick for a couple weeks (Bronchitis) so he didn't feel like going out, but he still was so sweet an tried to make it special. The day started off with Eric waking me up early just so he could give me the first half of his gift for me.

Then I decided to make breakfast for him...Pink eggs, pink yogurt, and pink strawberry milk....yummmm!

Then I headed off to work, Eric was lucky enough to have the day off, to rest. When I got home from work I was welcomed home with this.......

He set up dinner and a movie for us...showtime started promptly at 7:30....featuring Twilight Breaking Dawn

It was candle lit

and included this delicious dinner

The rest of my gift from Eric he gave me at dinner...

Eric's gift from me...which included a gift card to buy some new shoes :)

Happy Valentine's Day! We are extremely blessed to have found each other, and the kind of love we share. Hope you all had a beautiful day as well.

Feb Wkend

Last night, Eric and I went to a hunting show...let's just say there was bribing involved to get me to go :) I got to eat candy almonds while Eric looked at guns...fun! hahaha.

!This Bear is massive!

Then Eric and I drove around for about an hour, trying to find a parking spot in the city. Finally, after parking, Eric and I met up with our friends...

Kylee and Stetson

And then we went and saw this movie!!!

We really enjoyed the movie, and when I say we, I mean Kylee and myself, because the boys mostly had a good time making fun of how depressing the whole thing was, but Eric and I some good conversation about it while hiking back to our car. Basically Eric will never get remarried if i die, hahahaha just FYI for everyone out there who was wondering. 

Then today, I made Valentine cupcakes, it was fun...and they turned out pretty great!

Ok, welp thats it for now!

Weekend Happenings

Eric's sister Kyli is prego and about to pop, so she came down from Rexburg with their mom for a doctor's appointment, and then ended up staying the night with us. We had a fun time being with them and with Brooklyn, our 2 yr old niece. We went to I-hop and Brooklyn got CHOCOLATE WASTED!!!

We then returned home, and watched Secretariat, and early this morning my mother-in-law Susan and I headed out to get some errands done. I got to play with Brooklyn a little more when we got home from shopping. Eric and I miss her so much. When Kyli and Dan were living here in SLC it was nice because we got to spend so much time together, but we got a little attached to this cutie, and now she is growing like a weed. We played on the Karaoke machine before they left. This is Brooklyn singing a little song of her own.  

Eric and I also were a little bummed out this weekend because my older sister Nina graduated from nursing school this weekend and we weren't able to make out to Ohio for her pinning. The rest of my family(ok only some) were able to go, and they took a few pictures and sent them to me while they were there. They all got to tubing this weekend, lucky ducks. They had a blast! I miss my family and hope I can go visit them soon....if only we weren't all spread out.

Well thats all folks, hope you're enjoying February and getting ready for V-day. I know I am :)
