Goodbye 2011

 2011 was another great year for us! We had many more fun adventures, made more memories with each other and our families and became more in love with one another. Here are some pictures of the things we did this past year.

Reed is now one step closer to finishing school. I currently work as a dental assistant, which I love! but can't wait to go back to school. In church Reed was recently called to Young Men's and I have served in Young Women's for a couple months now. We spend our time juggling between our families, work, church and school, but wouldn't have it any other way. We try to live life to it's fullest and are always having fun along the way.

2011 was awesome and we hope 2012 is just as adventuresome and successful.

 See our 2010 here!

Christmas

Our Christmas break was awesome! We got to spend some much needed quality time with our family. Reed got to do a lot of hunting with his brothers and I got to go shopping with my sisters and mom. This is the 3rd Christmas we have spent together and it seems like they keep getting better. I was a slacker and didn't get many pictures but these are a few of us.

My Birthday

 {Saturday December 17, 2011}

Saturday was my 23rd birthday (old huh!) Well my hubby made it an awesome day, which started with breakfast in bed. He gave me some presents which I loved! We spent the day hanging out with some family and then that night he took me out to dinner and then to a movie, Sherlock Holmes. All in all it was an awesome day. 22 did me good and I know 23 will be awesome too. :)

 Don't you love Reed's wrap job??

Duck Hunting

Things have been going good for us lately. Just been busy with work, school and Christmas coming up. This year Reed has taken up a new hobby... Duck and goose hunting. He loves it!  Rudy loves it too and was a natural at fetching (His breed is actually bird hunting dogs) Reed has been at least twice a week for the last 2 months.  The impressive thing is he gets up at 4 am to go! Me, I sleep in :)

Thanksgiving

{Thursday November 24, 2011}

For Thanksgiving weekend Reed and I went to a family reunion in Monticello, UT for Reed's mom's side of the family. There was a TON of people but it was a lot of fun and even more fun just being off work and taking a break. This is most of Reed's immediate family but there are a few missing.

Shooting

 {Saturday November 12, 2011}

Reed and I went out Sat and did a little shooting. Reed bought me my very own .22 and I like to shoot it every now and then. After we shot all our bullets we went for a little hike and saw some really cool things so I took some pictures and thought I would share them.

Kickball Tournament

This weekend we were in a city kickball tournament with some family and friends and let me tell you it was so much fun! We played 5 games and in the tournament we played 3 games, so a total of 8 games. We won every one of our games and took first place!! In return we got a gift certificate to Applebee's. One lady commented that we were very good and I told her we travel the country and she believed me until I told her I was kidding. :)

Somehow we all ended up getting these stick on mustaches. They were super funny especially on Reed. We thought he looked like a Russian aerobics instructor and we all kept trying to get him to speak some Russian.

 Stash love <3

 Our team name was "kick or die" but next year we are going to make it "kick your stash" :) We have to defend our title.

Jeeping In Ouray

{Saturday Sept. 24}

This weekend we went to Ouray, CO to go Jeeping. We went on a trail called the Alpine Loop, just in time for the fall colors to start appearing. There was a little bit of fresh snow on the top of some passes but it was a beautiful day perfect for some Jeeping!

  We found this snow cave.
