New Year

So since it's a new year I've decided to attempt to keep up on blogging. C'mon it's only been almost 4 months since my last post... Needless to say A LOT has happened since October. Enjoy this record long post!

This feels like forever ago now- but back inOctober Amber and Cody were sealed to their precious Sydney. We love this little girl so much and we were very grateful to be there on that special day.
(And now she's 1! WOW! Happy Birthday Sydney!)

Way back in November we were able to go see our new niece, Mabel, at the hospital. She is too cute we just can't get enough of her!

We went to Arizona for Thanksgiving. It was so nice and warm and I didn't want to leave. But, apparently I didn't take any pictures while we were there!

Our first Christmas tree!

We were so lucky to get to go to Boise for Dallin's baptism and be the first guests at the new and fabulous Clinger house. Even though it was a short trip, it was well worth it!
(Brady just loves his Dallin)

After getting back from Boise we finished up the semester and now I am a college graduate! It is very surreal to say the least but I am so excited! I just feel bad now when Nathan has to go to class every day and do homework, but I have certainly been enjoying all the free time!

We had an AMAZING Christmas in Pocatello this year with the whole Petersen family (my very 1st one not in Beaver). It was a lot fun to be there for about a week and spend time with family. Thanks to everyone for all the great presents, fun, and memories!

Our gingerbread house

It just snowed and snowed and snowed while we were there! I don't think I have ever seen it snow so much! Nathan had fun building a tunnel in the backyard with his brothers.

Luckily the weather quit for a day so we could go to Boise over New Years. It was a blast with a lot of the family there (we missed you Melissa, Jason, and Amber)! We played games, ate too much delicious food, watched movies, went shopping, and bowling.

Brady was so funny to watch bowl! He would run down then just drop the ball so hard- I love this kid!

Here is Skylar with her Mimi- I still don't know how Mom is surviving without her!

Very scary picture- but here is my new short hair! I am still in shock- 15 inches!

We were able to go to Tony and Jenna's wedding in Salt Lake yesterday.

Well that's that! Hopefully it won't be another 4 months before I post again!
O and p.s. Nathan and I are still on the job search- if you know of any good ones out there let us know! :)

It's about time...

I know, I know you're all thinking this in your head as you see that we've finally posted on here again. It's about time really sums it ALL up I think. We have been super busy since school has started and there just does not seem to enough time these days! And there certainly has not been enough time to blog- I know many of you (siblings, in particular) have been waiting to hear all about what's going on in our not-so-exciting lives (or if you haven't been, then stop reminding us to update this! ;) ). There's not enough time to get all of our homework done, to sleep, or to spend more time with our family and friends like we want to, but we're workin' on it! So here you go...... Enjoy! It really is about time...

Lake Powell

We were able to go to Lake Powell for a couple of days about a month ago. We had such a great time and were very grateful to my Dad for taking the time to take us!

It was Nathan's first time there

I LOVE this pic- so classic.... Ashlee's hair going crazy in the wind and Skylar just being super cool as always!

Farewell Denver

Here are some pics from the end of our great summer in Denver!

Rockies Game

As soon as we were back in Provo we headed to Idaho for Lindsay and Brandon's Reception

We're Alive!

So I apologize about the lack of posts- there is definitely a lot to update about (weddings, rocky mountain national park, etc). Nathan finished his internship and we are now back in Provo, after driving through a scary SNOW storm trying to get over the Rockies! It's great to be back in Utah with some family close by! We don't have the internet at our new place so it might be a few more days til we get some pictures up....... stay tuned!

"The Farm"

Last week was the Suzuki Family Reunion in Pocatello and Driggs, Idaho. We had so much fun floating down the river, shooting the potato gun, watching fireworks, playing volleyball and other games, and just relaxing and spending time with family. It was so great to finally meet Nathan's extended family, and to see the infamous farmhouse! Can't wait to go back! Enjoy the beautiful pictures!

Denver Adventures

One Saturday we spent the whole day out in the sun- first swimming, then some tennis, and ended the day with some kite flying! We couldn't remember the last time we did this so it brought us back a few years!

Nathan got some free tickets from work to the Jewel and John Legend concert- it was actually really entertaining, we were kinda surprised!

We went to the amusement park Elitch Gardens- good idea, but turned out to be a mistake after we lost our car keys on a water slide and had to have a locksmith help us out!

We went bowling on my birthday- very fun, but Nathan won as usual!

We took a little trip to the Denver Zoo over a month ago-4th best in the nation, ya know.
