Cancun and HaLLowEEn

I can't believe it's already November! It seems like October was just barely starting and now it's over. We did a lot of fun things this past month, maybe that's why it went by so quickly! I have a lot of pictures I want to post, but I don't really want to comment about each one so here's the breakdown of what we did in October...went to Cancun for a week, which was a blast and very relaxing! Went to a pumpkin patch, carved pumpkins, made glitter pumpkins, went to some Halloween parties, had a new cute nephew that was born, went to Corn Belly's maze at Thanksgiving Point, watched a couple of fun/scary Halloween movies, and did all these fun things with friends and family! I think this time of year is really fun, but it does make me sad that it's getting so cold outside, oh well.

Such a cute family!

BJ is such a good sport!:)

SepTeMbeR

So I realize that it's already halfway through October, but there were a lot of things that we did/happened during September that I want to post about...First on September 3rd, we did our first triathlon! Granted, it was a sprint triathlon, so not your typical full length one, but it was still fun. The run was a 5K, the biking was 16 miles, and the swim was only 350 meters. I needed to start out small considering I've never real swam laps before:)

Look at that beautiful form! ha ha

I wish I could've taken more pictures during the race, but that's kinda difficult to do.

Then later in the month BJ had a birthday! I threw a surprise party for him with some friends and family and then on the weekend I took him to the circus up in Salt Lake. Unfortunately, my camera died at the beginning of the circus so we couldn't get many pictures. I always forget to charge my camera, I should work on that.

Last, but not least...BJ and I are havin' a baby! This didn't necessarily happen in September, but we wanted to wait till I was 12 weeks along before we started telling people. We told our families over Conference weekend and it was a lot of fun and exciting to be able to finally tell people! I'm now 14 weeks along and am due April 14th. We both just feel extremely blessed that I was able to get pregnant and for how well everything has gone so far. I feel like everyone posts pictures of their pregnancy progress, so I wanted to too, even though I dislike taking pictures by myself so I felt awkward, oh well:) So here's 14 weeks and only 26 more to go! I feel like this is going to be a really long pregnancy with me counting down week by week.

tWo sPLenDid YeARs!

Today is mine and BJ's TWO year anniversary! Does anyone else feel like when you get older, time flies by? I can't believe we've already been married for two years. It has honestly been such a wonderful experience and I couldn't ask for a better guy to be married to! There are a million good things that I could say about him, but I'll just tell a few...he is super patient and understanding, he never gets mad (he seriously never does, when we were dating I was just waiting for him to explode or at least be semi angry about something, and he never did. I think if he did now, I might start laughing), he is so nice and friendly to everyone he knows and meets, he never talks badly about anyone, he ALwaYs puts my wants and needs before his own, he is very hardworking and I'm so proud of all he's done, he is always up for doing fun things and does his best to plan fun and new date ideas, he has a strong testimony and honors his priesthood, and he helps me to want to be a better person! Like I said, I could probably go on and on, but I won't bore you all anymore:)

Here's the man of the hour...Mr. BJ Kramer! I just love this picture:)

On Friday night we went to the Spanish Fork rodeo/fair. They had a little car show and we both chose cars we'd someday want. Not that I really want a train, but I'd really like to go on a train like the one in Harry Potter. I just really want to go to Harry Potter world and have some Butterbeer. I pretty much talk about my dream to go there a couple of times a week:)

Then on Saturday, we went to Cowabunga Bay. We'd been warned that this waterpark is more for kids, but we had already bought our tickets and still wanted to check it out. It is definitely more for little kids and the slides are a little slow, but it was still a lot of fun and I really quite enjoyed it. We don't have very good pictures of our day there, so yeah.

BJ surprised me with a pair of TOMS, which I'm real excited about... When I first showed him these shoes, he asked me why they looked so weird? It was funny. They kinda do look like Chinese/ballet shoes, but oh well. I like 'em!

Today, we just went to church and had a relaxing Sunday. Here we are...BJ in his new spiffy pants and me in my old spiffy skirt:) BeeJ, these past two years have been so amazing and I look forward to the many years we have ahead of us! YouDa best! LoVe YOU!

St. George

BJ and I went on a quick weekend trip down to St. George over the 4th of July weekend. We only stayed 2 days, but we packed in a lot of fun stuff in a small amount of time. On Friday we went golfing (and I won by 3 strokes:), swimming, to dinner, and went and saw The Little Mermaid at Tuacahn (it was amazing!) Then on Saturday we went to Zion's National Park and spent about 7 hours hiking in 105 degree weather! It was hot, but worth it. We finally hiked Angel's Landing! Then that night we went and got Nielson's Frozen Custard! If you've never had this, you should definitely try it (they have one in Salt Lake)! It's delish!


The girl we asked to take our picture obviously wasn't the greatest photographer...

The DIRTY DASH*

At the beginning of June we ran a 5K race up at Soldier Hollow. It seriously was such a fun experience and it's something I'll definitely want to do again. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the actual run. Just the before and afters. Our cameras would've been ruined if we brought them with us. Some of the obstacles they had included jumping over bails of hay, wooden fences with super sonic hoses spraying us down, a huge slip n' slide, and the grand finale was this big mud pit you had to swim through. 3.1 miles of pure fun!

And this here is our lovely softball team...

Las VeGas

Last weekend we had a nice little trip down to Las Vegas. We didn't stay on the strip, which I was grateful for. The strip is too crowded and dirty. The weather was beautiful and I was so happy to finally be able to go swimming. I'm sick of this crazy weather. It's nice one day and then rains/snows the next. I've lived in Utah my whole life and I know this happens every year with the weather and for some reason I still just can't believe that it's cold and almost May. Oh well. A couple of pics from the trip...



My cousin was in a baseball tournament down there, so we hit up one of his games and then the batting cages. I don't want to post the picture of me batting, but just know that I did quite well:)

I wanted to show this picture because this is how BJ spent most of his weekend. With Haylee climbing all over him:) She is a just a little ball of energy and can just go and go and go.

Hoover Dam

Our hotel had a bowling alley in it and BJ got a Turkey! He actually got 4 strikes in a row, but I don't think there's a name for that.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of my grandparents with us, but we're grateful to them for taking us. It was a fun Easter weekend and a great way to celebrate the end of another semester.

A few weeks ago, I guess it was actually more like over a month ago, we went to the Festival of Colors with our friends Brittney and Eric. BJ and I had never been before and I've wanted to go the past couple of years, so we finally went. And it will probably be the last time I go. It was definitely a fun experience, but it was something I only needed to experience once. Oh and it completely turned all of our clothes pink!
