And.... We're Back

So its been a while since I've posted anything on here.... which is sad because it's been an eventful 4 months! I've met the love of my life, moved, and started a new job. I'm sure I'm missing something else too, but those are the big ones! So.. here is a little blast from the past 4 months.



ImageI moved into a cute little yellow house in Bountiful with another roommate. This was the first night I had dinner at my new place. Dan (aka my love) and I had a picnic on our kitchen floor on top of the dryer cardboard boxes. It was rather romantic!

Image
Dan made me a tasty steak dinner all by himself. When I arrived, he had everything set and ready. Isn't he so sweet and handsome?!

Image
Renee (my cousin) had her first baby, Katelyn. It's weird to think we're old enough to have our own now. And that's cute Grandma Poll with us.

Image
Rachel and Cade got to come down from Washington for Easter. It was so fun! We went to Wheeler Farm and Cade got to see all the delightfully smelling animals. We had a blast!

Image
The tractor was almost his size...

Image
This calf hadn't even been born for 24 hours in this pic. Old McDonald let us in the barn to see him. Cade was so cute with it.

ImageAwesome family...

Image
Feeding the ducks

Image
Rach and I went shopping, and she forgot the stroller. So she paid $6 bucks for Cade to be a policeman for a day. He lasted about 5 minutes in it...

Image
The love of my life.... Dan Hymas.

Image
Easter with my mom's side of the family is almost worse than Halloween, as far as the sugar content. It's a great tradition having a huge Easter egg hunt!

Image
Cade's first big hunt

Image
After "the hunt." That's Dan and I in the back wearing black.

Image
I couldn't resist putting these glasses on Cade. He absolutely loved it!

Image
I made this frame for Dan for Easter. I was kind of proud of myself.

Image
Dan's Easter basket... I had so much fun putting it together! This picture doesn't do it justice.

Trip to Washington

My cute little nephew, Cade, turned 1 on January 25th so me and my parents flew to Washington state to celebrate the big day! It was so great to get away for a week and do nothing but spend time with family. I'm missing them already.


Cade can't walk yet, but he knows right where the graham crackers are and how to access them. It is the funniest thing!

Image
I flew in a few days before my parents. We picked them up from the airport and had lunch at Frank's Diner in Spokane. It was a fun place!

The inside of the train car (Frank's Diner)

Image
The Diner is an old train car that once was real!

Image
The biggest Radio Flyer wagon I've ever seen! The handle is a slide! Located in the River Parkway in Spokane.

Image
Riding comfy in the stroller!

Image
Best of sisters

Image
This was crazy... I ran into Kevin Randall, a former Weber State News alumni who is working as a reporter for the NBC affiliate in Spokane. I couldn't believe it! I want his job...

Image
An indoor carousel at the River Parkway. This was Cade's first ride.. he loved it!

Image
Getting breakfast ready for the big birthday!

Image
Is he not the cutest thing you've ever seen?!

Image
Opening/biting his present from Aunt Lindsay- a new tie and DVD for babies

Image
I'm not sure if it was his birthday, or Christmas morning for a family of 6! Spoiled.

Image
My sis did a great job making his cake! Brett (his dad) is a pilot, so it was very appropriate!

Image
"What am I supposed to do guys?"

Image
Since he was born, Cade always puts this finger out. How cute that he did it at this moment, on his 1st birthday!

Image
Standing ovation for Cade eating his cake! He clapped all night. Love you Cade....

Jaque's Wedding

On Nov.5, 2009 my younger brother Jaque married Danni in the Bountiful Temple. The weather was incredible for November... in fact, it was the warmest day of the month. A warm 70 degrees, which is SO warm for November! Now that he's married, I'm the last one standing!

Jaque and Danni- beautiful bride and groom

Image
I got Cade all to myself while the rest of the fam was in the marriage ceremony!

Image
My sissies- love you!

Image
In love....

Image
I love to see the temple, I'm going there someday...

Image
Me and Gramps

Image
The wedding luncheon- with my sisters and their spouses, and grandma Poll.

Image
Cade made a 180-degree turn in his chair.. when I looked over and saw this, I started laughing so hard!

Image
Emily and Kara- some of the best friends anyone could have

Image
I can't explain my love for this little guy

Internship At KUTV Channel 2

This summer I did an internship at KUTV Channel 2 in Salt Lake. It was an awesome experience! I got to go out in the field on story assignments, then go back to the newsroom to put the story together... all to air for the 5:00 news. I never went on camera, but I had several stories air. I regret that I didn't take more pictures of my experience. I was blessed to get a part-time job following my internship. I'm hoping it's a foot in the door to one day be a reporter. One day.

This is one of my most favorite girls, Callie. She was a fellow intern from BYU, and we got to go together on this story assignment- The Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication.

Image
My favorite reporter, Dan Rascon. He's the one in front of the camera... staged with the rest of the media before the dedication.

Image
The beautiful Oquirrh Mountain Temple. The day couldn't have been more perfect.

Image
I was feet away from Pres. Monson and Pres Uchtdorf, who dedicated the temple. It was a neat experience being in their presence, at such a significant event. I was only able to be this close, because I was "with the media."

Image

Little Sis Gets Hitched!

On July 31, 2009 my youngest sis, Cambria, tied the knot. She married Kevin Polson in the Salt Lake Temple. Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Polson!

Just after she came out of the temple

Image
All smiles for the bride and groom.. well, Kevin was resting his smile in this pic

Image
My nephew Cade was dressed like a stud for the occasion. You would think blue was one of her wedding colors.. but it wasn't!

Image
The reception was in our yard... and it couldn't have been a more perfect night. Her cake was pretty dang cute.
