A Wonderful Suprising Memory of a Wonderful Friend

So I found this picture on Danielle's blog as today is her and Craigo's 6th anniversary, congrats! I was taking a peek and thinking how pretty she looks and much to my suprise found myself in the background chatting away! To my left in the picture is a handsome man in black, my old friend Eric. I haven't seen Eric since his wedding day (4 years ago I think?!) and just received emailed pictures of his newborn 2nd son. I miss his friendship and the closeness we had and it was such a wonderful suprise to see us together and Danny's reception in Utah. Thanks Danny for the fun memory. I love you!

Thanksgiving Weekend Fun

Its a little late but that's what you've come to expect from me, right?! Thanksgiving weekend was a fun time. All of Nicole's sisters w/ husbands and babies in tow came to visit. We had a fun night on Sunday (sadly missing Missy and Steve who were at his mom's) at Nicole and Marks wonderful new house eating and visiting. Got some great shots to share.

Post a random picture

Post the fourth picture in the fourth folder on your computer, this is gonna be fun!

Thanks Jess for the fun idea!

Oh my, and old one of Baby Alyssa. Her first dress up...where'd that baby go?!

She's so big now!

Autumn and Pretty Girls

Just a few pretty autumn shots. Oh, and the good stuff. Pretty pictures of Ella & Emily from this Sunday.

Trip to Utah

Ok, so I was in Utah from 9/26 to 10/6 and had a great time. I am posting just a few of the fun pics I took while there. They are in a random order and the caption for each picture is above the picture. Enjoy!

The Utah State Capital building which is actually on the street where I used to live, just a block East of my apartment building. They re-did the building in recent years (earthquake proofing I think) and it looks a lot better than it did all covered in scaffolding!
Random shot of the gorgeous weather.
My old roommate Jen and her little girl Eva. She is 5 months old and very friendly. Fun to hold this little chubby girl!

The Cote's and I after General Conference on Sunday morning in the Conference Center. It was a great morning.
The Conference Center in downtown SLC. My old apartment (see 1st picture) was 1 block behind (to the North) this gorgeous building. I thought it looked so neat with thousands of people streaming out of it.
With my friends Brandon (left) and Adam(right). Crazy brothers. That's my old swing we're on, kinda miss it and wish I'd brought it home...wonder where I'd put it at my condo. Living room swing? =)

With Ally at Cafe Rio for our favorite lunch. Isn't she a beautiful new mommy?!
And of course, Muma Cote spilled her Cafe Rio salad all over her shirt. Wasn't she kind to point out the stains (post Tide Pen) out to us?! Ally said the caption for this photo should be

"Here's my Bs!"
With my friend Adam at La Frontera enjoying my favorite Burritto in the world. I always go there the day I get off of the plane. So yummy and fun with good friends.

The SLC Temple. I love catching it at neat angles.
I made Adam and Joe pose like photographers make brides and grooms pose. Tee hee. I think I'm so funny!
Muma Cote really enjoyed the flight home. I actually think we had a fun time, we got to eat yummy samys (sandwiches in erin-ese) read a good book and play Scrabble! Muma won of course.

All in all it was a great trip and I thoroughly enjoyed the blue skies and weather in the 80's everyday. I've been home for about a week which is great but I did like not working for 11 days!

Gretchen's Visit to Boston

Not long ago (I forgot about these pics for a bit too!) my great friend Gretchen came from Utah to Boston with her family and I got to spend the day with her. We took a terribly hot and kind of annoying trolly tour and had a great time. We walked a ton and it was so hot but it was wonderful to see Gretchen. Here are some fun pics we took for your viewing pleasure. =)
