Butter Shaking party and Jazz game!

Me and Jare have been keeping busy! Last Monday we went to the Jazz game. His grandparents got us tickets for Christmas. It was a ton of fun! The Jazz won of course! We got our 15 minutes of fame during the game. This lady came up and asked if she could take our picture for the jazz fan website and we were on the front page of the website for a little bit. I don't think we're on there anymore though!
Hooray for Korver!

My dad and Tessa took Angie and Tyler's tickets because Bronson was in the hospital. I think they saw a whole other side of Jared that they didn't know about :)

Mont and Dave. Mont worries me sometimes. Ha

Last Saturday we went over to grandma and grandpa Stokes to make butter. It was fun! All you do is put cream in a jar and shake in until the butter forms and then dump out the extra cream.

Angie of course won the award for the best shake. She really got into it!

Jared and Dallen are best buds. Jared gets so excited when Dallen comes!

Grandpa and Averee dumping out the cream.

Darcie's belly shot. She looks cute prego!

Who knew Jared was so tough! Ha

And again :)

I think all the kids had fun!

Billie had to show everyone how it's done :)

This is a random picture of Jare and my dad at Target. They thought they were cool :) Jared left Friday morning to go snowmobiling with the guys. It's only been a day and I feel like it's been a week! I miss him so much! He gets back tomorrow! I'm excited!

We live for the weekends!!

With me and Jare being so busy with school and work the weekends are our time we really get to spend time together! We had such a fun weekend and I thought I'd share some pics and memories. Friday night I intruded on guys night and went to the Monster Jams with them. We rode front runner down which I've never done before. It was cute to see Jare with his nephews! Jare, Big D, Bridgie and Bostie
Dallen wanted to take our picture :)

Bost and Bridge were so fun to watch on frontrunner!

Frontrunner again. I don't have any pictures from Valentines Day but I had an amazing day! Jare had a dozen roses sent to my work which were beautiful! Later that night Jared made me a candlelit dinner and burned a CD of love songs and then we watched PS I Love You! He was so sweet! Who knew such a tough guy could be such a romantic!

Monday we didn't have school so we went up to East Canyon ice fishing again! It was fun and I caught the biggest fish of the day. Hooray!

Us and my long fish! Too bad we had to go back to the real world today!

What we do everyday!

I wanted a new post but couldn't think of what to write about so here is what me and Jared do everyday! And sorry if these are goofy pictures, they're the ones we send each other when we're apart :) ha ha Jared (and Al) go to Weber State. He's a sophomore (I think) just finishing up his generals. He hasn't decided what he wants to do yet but he's thinking he wants to do something in the medical field.

I'm in the LPN program at the Ogden Weber Applied Technology College. I am loving it and finish up in May!

After school Jared goes to work at Sportsmans where he works in the gift bar (knives, spotting scopes, binoculars, etc.) He's a pretty good salesman :)

I work at the Olive Garden as a server. It's an okay job and they work really well around my crazy school schedule. We both finish up with work later at night and then spend time together. Life is so busy but its wonderful! We're really loving it and each other!

My Adventurous Man!

Seriously, I love Jared! He is so fun and is always getting me to try new things! Last week Jared went ice fishing with his dad and brothers in law and mentioned that he wanted to take me some time. Not really taking him serious I said I'd go. I didn't think he was going to take me. So later in that week he asked me if I got work off and I told him I had and the next day came home with a fishing pole (called an ugly stick) and a fishing license for me. He was so excited to show me how to tie the bait on the line and I was thinking what have I gotten myself into?? I was way nervous but kinda excited at the same time. We got up early Saturday morning and went up to East Canyon with us, Grandpa Samson, Darcie, Mont, their boys, Angie, Tyler, and Boston. Jared got me all set up and went to help his grandpa and I felt something on my line. I yelled "Jared" and he was like "What?" And I said "Nothing" Because I didn't know if I really was feeling a fish or if I was so excited that my hands were shaking. Jared walked over and was like "Babe you've got a fish! Reel it in." I was so excited! I got the first fish of the day! It was so much fun and I was sad when we had to leave! I'm excited to go again!One of my fishes! Those are some hot pants I'm wearing!!

I love this pic of Jare! He looks so good!

Christmas morning me and Jared opened presents with his parents and then went over to Grandma and Grandpa Stokes for omelets, presents and lots of family. Here are the guys!

Billie, Staci and Bronson

Me and Jare. I love this sweater that he gave me for Christmas! He did good picking it out!

Jared's grandparents have this tradition where they throw all of their loose change into a bag for the year and then give each of the kids a ball that they get to fill up with the change. It was really cute! Jared was helping Dallen.

Tyler helping Boston.

Bridger thinks I stink!

Christmas afternoon we went out to my parents and had dinner and opened more gifts. The power was out when we got there at 2 and it never came back on the whole time we were there! We went sledding and tried to make a snowman but the snow was so heavy that we couldn't lift the snowballs up so we just ended up with three big snowballs. It was a great Christmas and I'm glad I got to share in the traditions that the Stokes family has had for lots of years!
