Park City & Easter

I wish i was computer savvy and knew how to make my bloggy all cute and my header look adorable. But alas.. i am not hip with technology. 

Last weekend we headed up to SLC for Scot's little brother dallin's wedding. He married a really cute Alaskan native by the name of Marla and they are on their honeymoon in Cancun as we speak!



We drove up north on friday night and got to Mama Sweet's house around ten. Scot proceeded to lecture his poor little bro about marriage, money, cars, "being a grown up", and many other things i wont mention, and wouldn't let dallin go to sleep. It was funny. Dallin was like "ya ya... I know.. whatever..". 
We woke up the next morning and drove to my SIL Tera's house to shower and get ready since Gma&Gpa were stayin with Cindy and there is only one bathroom in the Sweet house. D&M's wedding was great, they got married in the Draper Temple, which is beautiful! and is surrounded by mansions... the houses in that neighborhood were like the biggest i've ever seen. After the weddin we got some really great pizza that was from this expensive NY style pizza joint that i ate alot of... yeah... mmm. 
Then we drove up to Park City and got changed for the reception. Their reception was at the olympic park museum place and it was really neat! Marla had the cutest ideas and their reception was so adorable.. they had mason jars full of sticks and burlap on the tables. It was really old fashioned and simple. We drank out of mason jars and they had a trail mix bar and tons of veggies and fruit.




 Scot and his bff luke decorated their car and it was hilarious because you could tell Marla was like OMG. WHY. she did not like it! haha. 



Scot and I stayed in a sweet hotel in PC that night and it was really fun. My grandma gave us a free hotel pass that she won at some travel seminar so we were able to cash it in this weekend. We went swimming and hot tubing in the pool and went out to eat that night and he drove me around main street and showed me the ski resort.  I've never been to PC so it was really awesome :) There was snow on the ground and Scot had fun showing me around because he use to go there every week to snowboard in highschool. 


Our hotel was also the pancake house and we got a complimentary delish breakfast with the package deal, but when i woke up at 8 and told Scot it was breakfast time he said he was too tired. So we slept a little more and didn't get our free awesome breakfast. After we got ready for the day and packed up & checked out we decided to find a cute lil cafe to eat at. It was Easter sunday though and everything was closed! We found a fancy contemporary bistro and it was the only place open. So we went. and it was freaking expensive! 
We should have gotten up early and ate our free food! HA! it was really good though... just way overpriced. 

 We drove back down to WVC and played with family and had an easter egg hunt with all the Sweet side at Scot's uncle James house. it was fun! It was a really great weekend and a fun adventure to stay in Park City. 

 I love him

2012 so far

Nothing too fun happened in January so there are no pics to be seen. January is always lame anyways. 
February is where it's at, yo! Valentines day was fun. I made dinner at home (hamburgers and homemade fries, Scot's fave) and made Scoty a card. He got me some flowers that i could plant and some hair stuff i wanted. We didn't get any actual pics on Vday but i got some of the sunday before when we wore matching Valentine day outfits to church.. yeah! 

March has been a fun month. Scot's sister Tera and her family and Scot's little brother Dallin and his fiance Marla came down and stayed with us over this past weekend. We went to the airshow and went night hiking and got frozen yogurt even though it was raining... haha. 

The airshow was really cool and interesting. My bro in law Ben is in the air force and we got to go on the huge plane like the one he flew to Afganistan in. It cool to see all the old planes because my grandpa was in the air force. We had fun even though the weather got kinda cruddy at the end of the day. And i took some of these pics of of my SIL Tera's blog because i didnt get any good shots of the kids.



 

2011 catch up

 oh hi
I haven't blogged for like forty years, so i am going to catch you all up on my way exciting life. I will finish 2011 and do a whole new post for this year, 2012. 
Ok since I last blogged many things have taken place....

Hurricane football won the state championship and my little brother was able to be a huge part of the win! He played the whole game in the snow! He caught the game ending interception and it was awesome! We didn't make it up to SLC for the game but we had a pizza party at grandma & grandpa's and watched on tv. It was so exciting!! He is number 34. 







WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! We closed in October i think? Anyways, it's been a blast decorating and doing projects together. We are so in love with our house. I love having a mortgage instead of wasting all our dollars on rent. whoo! It is just off Telegraph in Washington and is at the end of the cutest, quietest street. 




What else happened in the Fall? oh yeah, my SIL Elizabeth left on her mission to Argentina and we miss her! 

Halloween came and went... we dressed up at work :)  


Scot and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary :) we went to Las Vegas and stayed in the Rio. We went on the effiel tower ride a few times and went to a show at planet hollywood. 





In December my fave cousin Heidi came home from her mission in Ohio and we were reunited. I love her! 


 Did i happen to get any pics from Christmas at my mom's house? No of course not. I forgot!!! I also can't remember what we did for new years eve... if i can't remember it wasn't too exciting was it. 

Our first year of being married has been a blast. I love Scoty! We have accomplished so much in the year 2011 together. I am most happy about our home. I love it. I am so happy we own our house and don't have to rent anymore. It's such a blessing being able to have a house at the age of 21! 

Coming up next is my catch up of this year... :)

Remember me?

Yeah, I know... you don't. I suck at remembering to blog. 
So, school started. bleh. 
It's been busy the past couple weeks with the Sweets. I work around 30 hours a week at Mountain America and am taking two classes at the moment (tuition is expensive for poor people...). Scot works his usual 50 + hour work weeks and took this semester off to study his EMT stuff. We have been trying to get him a job at the hospital or get him on with Gold Cross. 
I haven't blogged since Memorial Day... hahaha. Lots has happened since then! and of course I left our good camera with lots of pics at my In-Laws like three months ago and haven't yet gone up to get it back. 

We are going up North this weekend though for my SIL's mission farewell. Liz is leaving to Argentina! She is going to do so well. She has the best personality and I see missionary work being a blast for her. My other SIL Tera had her baby, Ryker! He came a couple weeks early and we are going to attend their family sealing this weekend also. 
Scot and I have been having a lot of fun together. We are approaching our one year anniversary. HOLY COW! Awesome :) What isn't awesome is all the weight gain from living with a man that hates fruits and veggies and basically anything i cook that is healthy. 

Since school started that means football. My cute little brother Andy is a junior and plays on the varsity team for Hurricane. Every weekend we go watch him play and it's so much fun! He is really good. He plays usually the whole game.


 My birthday was also in August and I am basically a old freakin' woman now. I turned 21 guys. My family took me out to dinner and my birthday present from Scot was getting my hair done. I couldn't live as a brunette anymore. it sucked. So I went back to blonde and I think it's much better. 


We went to the rodeo this weekend. My work was a sponsor so they gave me some free tickets and we went on Saturday. It was pretty fun. I am not one for rodeos really, especially horses. Because one time I stopped to feed one that was by my house and i knelt down to get it some grass and it ate a huge chunk of my hair. So i slapped it. Horses and I have been on bad terms ever since. It was fun though, it's always nice to do something new. 

I will have more pics and a better post next time from our trip this weekend. Just thought i'd update my invisible followers. :) 

I will be funny next time too, I promise. I think i'm losing my hilariousness... it hurts.

memorial day weekend

For memorial day weekend we went up to WVC to play with Scoty's family.

On saturday, Scot, me, Liz, and Dallin went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and did some initatories. It was nice to go in the Temple with Elizabeth before she left on her internship to Missouri and then to her mission in Argentina!






I forgot to take pictures of the rest of our trip... but we had a BBQ, everyone went to the movie Soul Surfer, and we went SHOPPING! ... or at least I did. Yay for any mall that is not the one in St. George!

We played with Scot's neice and nephews too. We had a lot of fun.




 

We were really happy to be home after our trip... up North was so cold!

Well peeps, I shall see you next month ;)


Changing my name to Slacker Sweet

I really am neglecting my bloggy. Cheers to some much needed blog loving!

Perhaps I should tell you about our life since a whole month ago when I posted last, eh? Alrighty.

School is out!!! YEAAH! Scot passed his horrid math class with a B- which is honestly a blessing, because we both are terrible at math. Scot got his Associates Degree too!!! :) I did great in my classes and am all signed up for dreaded fall semester.
My litter sister graduated from high school and is now old, which makes me practically prehistoric. We went to her graduation and I got to see all my little "sisters", it was grand.

                                                               my baby sister and I
                                            my other baby sister and I, Cheidu Nkwocha :)
                                                        Mckenna, Emily, me, and Em
mom em and dad

Scot and I decided it was about time we took our boat out for a lil test drive to kick off the summer. We brought my two little brothers and their friend... I forgot his name. But it was awesome! I was absolutely freaked out when Scot turned off the boat in the middle of the lake and told me I had to learn how to drive it.
You see, I have had horrible altercations with boats. I dislike them. and all water sports. And how i married a man that is in love with boats more than life itself, is beyond me.

So, Scot taught me how to drive and to pull wakeboarders up out of the water. My brother Andy got up on the wakeboard for a while! It was so cool to look back as i was driving and see him crusin along!

We played at the lake for a couple hours and went to my moms for pizza and a movie.




We had a blasty blast.

studying for finals... who needs it?

I WAS- A wizard in my former life. And had a talking dog sidekick. That was my best friend.

I AM- Now a married gal with the "sweetest" hubby & life I could ask for. Sweet.

I THINK-  Rarely. If ever.

I WONDER-  Why oh why are some people allowed out of their houses and wander into my place of work on days when I am fresh out of patience?

I WISH- I was a bajillionaire. Like a millionaire, but foxier.

I SAVE- Love notes my husband writes me so I can show them to our grand kids when we are 100 and still in love.

I ALWAYS- Am thinking about food. See me looking off  into space with my eyes glazed over? I am reminiscing about what I had for lunch.

I CAN'T- Do math that well. Which is funny, cause I work at a credit union. Where I am surrounded by math and decimals.

I BELIEVE- I have the greatest mother on the planet earth. She even rivals the other great mothers that inhabit different planets.

I PROMISE- To never let myself weigh over 350 lbs.

I LOVE- My husband. and jelly beans.
