Wow I have been really bad at blogging this year! Well this is going to be an update post for Feb-July 2011. (I cant find some of my memory cards so I dont have many pictures from the first of the year)
FEBUARY 15 2011 Matt and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. This year for our anniversary we went to Las Vegas. It was so fun! We went with my parents and met Cassi and John, and my Uncle Bart and Aunt Annette. Everytime we go to Vegas I promise Matt we can go to Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay but we never do. So this trip we made it a point to go. We had a ton of fun and ate WAY too much!
MARCH was an exciting month because my little brother Joshua got his mission call! He will be serving in the Olongapo, Philippines Mission speaking Tagalog. He reports to the MTC on Aug 17 and his farewell is July 31st. Although it is going to be really sad when he leaves I am so excited for him. He can hardly wait to go and I know he is going to be an amazing missionary.
APRIL was probably our most exciting month so far because WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!! We were so lucky that everything worked out so well and ran so smoothly for us purchasing our house. We are still in the same neighborhood and same ward we were in before and could not be happier. We knew the people that sold us the house and that made me feel a lot better since everything moved so fast. The people that owned the house before us took such great care of it and redid basically everything. It was the perfect house for us in the perfect area. We are one street over from Matt's parents and right around the corner from his brother Pete and his family!
MAY is always a fun month because Matt and I both celebrate our birthdays! This year May was also a great month because all of our adoption stuff was finally done and we are now online! Now it is just waiting, but we are hopeful our time to become parents will be soon. Also in May Matt's BFF Jon Cox got married and we were able to go to Washington with two of our friends, Jake and Alicia,and see Jon get married in the Columbia River Temple. It was a great wedding and the bride and groom both looked do happy!
JUNE was a busy month! My little brother Chris got married! I am so happy for him and I absolutely love my new sister-in-law Bianca! She could not be more perfect for Chris and we are so lucky to have her in our family. They got married at Noah's on June 13, 2011 and it was such a fun wedding. Chris looked so handsome and Bianca was beautiful!
JULY is not over yet but since I am going to try and stay caught up on my blog I will post about the 4th of July. I must admit that I was a little nervous about this 4th of July. Usually I am in Tabby camping, going to the parade, and watching fireworks at my grandparents, but this year we decided to stay in Murray. Although I did miss Tabby we still had a blast here. On Saturday my family went to seven peaks and we had so much fun! I have not been there for years, but it was fun to act silly and go on all the water slides. Then on Monday we started our day off with the Murray parade and fun days with both mine and Matt's families. Then we went to Matt's parents and hung out with his family and had our own little firework show followed by the fireworks at Murray parade. I love the 4th of July and this year was no exception!
Well now I am all caught up I will try and keep on top of it!

Bowling\New Years
Of course before we started bowling the kids had to learn how to play skeeball from the champ, Grandma Dorothy.
Always have to get a brothers picture:)
The girls
It was so fun getting to hang out with Pete, Whit, Belle, and Burton. Burton looks so much like Matt you just have to love him and every time Belle would say "Untle Matt" she won him over a little more.
It is so fun when the Klc's get together. Our group has been a little small lately with everyone moving different places. We are so excited for Pete and Whit to move back this year and we are hoping the other brothers and sister will do the same. (hint hint Steph, Cyd, and Andrew:)This Year for New Years we went and stayed in Pinevalley (close to St Goerge) in the Dixie College cabin, and as always we had a blast!!! One of the highlights was definitely the Murder Mystery Dinner Annette and Wyatt set up for us. About a week before the party we all got our part we would be playing and dressing up as. It was so fun and SO funny!
John and Cassi

The Nominees for best dressed and acting, And the winner is............
Poindex Dorfman AKA Matt. I must admit he was pretty hilarious!
Lexi got to dress up in our costumes when we were done.
We had a fun weekend, but it wore some of us out. Josh and Brody did not have any trouble finding somewhere to sleep.
So that was our end of the year parties. Now we have started a new year and we can't wait to see what is ion store. I think this is going to be the best year yet ;)

Christmas with the Klc's
We had such a fun December! We have so many great friends and family to celebrate Christmas with! It all started with my work party. I know I always say how great my job is, and it is true. I was sad when Kristin started only working one day a week, but she found the perfect replacement! Brooke fits right in to the amazing group I work with. I seriously have the BEST boss! Just like every year He and Shelley spoiled us with lots of treats, cook books (that are amazing!), a huge bag filled with everything from bath and body works, our favorite chapstick, Plus our bonus! Not to mention the 9 lb honey bake ham they gave us for Thanksgiving! They treat us so well!
Our next Christmas party was with the Gines family. No matter what we do we always have fun when we are together! This year we had lots of food,Ugly sweater competition, presents, and fun minute to win it games.
This years contestants. Annette, Julie, Kelli, Grandma, Sarah, Tara, Dave, Nikki, Tommy, Mom, Matt, Annette (Sarah won)Although I thought Matt looked pretty good with his shoulder pads!
Every year with the Klc Family we go to the Lion House for dinner and walk around and look at the Temple lights. We missed Matt's sisters and their families that live in Maryland. It felt like our group was a lot smaller this year. We were suppose to meet before dinner to look at the lights but most of us were late so we went and looked at the lights after dinner. I love the Temple lights!
The whole group at Lion House
Beautiful Salt Lake Temple
It is so fun having Phil home!
Uncle Matt and Isabelle (or as Belle would say Untle Matt)
I dont even know how Matt got Belle on his shoulders. The entire time we were walking around Temple Square she was attached to Grandma Dorothy:)
I didnt take very many pictures on Christmas even though Matt got me a brand new lens! Matt and I were both sick in bed all Christmas Eve and we just getting over it on Christmas. We spent the day at my parents house. It was quiet, but we had fun. My brother got a Kinect so we spent most of the day playing that and watching movies.
Oh and we HAD to watch the Lakers\Heat game. GO HEAT!
You cant see it very well, but Cameron got a kitty for Christmas. I hate cats, but Oliver is kinda cute.
The best way to skii! Warm Inside!
Tyson and Mom
Sarah, Tyson, and Caddi (AKA Oprah) Dont you think this would make a great wedding invitation? hint hint Tyson!Thanks everyone for the great Christmas!

Sept\Oct. Update
Part 2 update:
September-
In September my family took a trip to St George. While we were there Matt and John hiked the Subway in Zions.
The reason we went to St George was for my cousin Colten's mission farewell so while Matt was hiking I was spending as much time with Colt as I possibly could!
Colt is currently at the MTC in the Dominican Republic learning spanish and getting ready to serve the people on Puerto Rico.
We all miss him like crazy, but we are so happy for the decision he made to serve a mission.
Grandma and Grandpa Fabrizio with Colten
Even when he was asleep I wanted to be by him:)
It is always hard to say goodbye to someone that you are so close to for two years, but I am so proud of Colten! He is already such a great missionary!
October-
In October Matt started his new job! YAY!!!
We are so grateful and excited for the opportunity Matt has to work for such a great company! He is currently working in the warehouse with hopes to move up as he gets more school finished.
Also in October we had lots of Halloween parties with friends and family. Matt and I are boring so we didn't dress up, but we did get to carve pumpkins woth some of our best friends!
Matt and Sean getting ready to carve pumpkins.
Me and my Best friend Chase with his mom Kristin.
Matt and Brooke eating yummy taco soup.
Isn't little Chase just the cutest little guy ever? I think so!
This is Chase before he knows who is holding him....
and this is after. oh poor Chase gets scared of Matt sometimes, but I think he is warming up to him.
These were the final products! I think we did a pretty good job! Thanks Taylor and Alexanders for the fun "1st Annual Halloween Bash"
