WASHINGTON DC

Over spring break Tyler and I got the opportunity to go Washington DC. I have never been there before so it was quite a treat.

Day 1:
We stayed down town right next to the convention center and to our surprise there was a 5 guys on the next block so of course that is the first place we went. Day one was pretty relaxing since we flew in that day so we just hung around. We went to Smithsonian American Art Museum which was huge and we really enjoyed some of the artwork. One thing I thought was pretty amazing was in one of the rooms they had old writings, and lists from people like picasso and other various old artists. I couldn't imagine writing a list (which I do all the time) and having it in a museum 100 yrs later.

Day 2:
Started out with breakfast of course and then off to see the sights. We headed to the Holocaust museum and arrived there without getting lost. It wasn't until we were passing it however that we realized we were getting on the freeway. And so began the fued over GPS. We ended up driving all over Washington to finally get back to the museum. The museum had a lot of sad stories but I definately learned more than I evern knew about the Holocaust. We even got a tour by a Holocaust Survivor. She was the sweetest little old lady and I felt so sad when she was telling us a little bit about what it was like. She said her husband is the only one in his family that survived. If you have not seen "The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas" it is a must see. After seeing it and visiting the musuem it was pretty heart wrenching.

The other 4 days we were able to see the capital, the monument, the lincoln memorial, some of the other Smithsonian's (museum of natural history, air & space museum). One of my favorites was the Arlington Cemetary. It was a very touching experience to see all these men and women who died fighting for our freedom. In fact, seeing all the sights in Washington really allowed me to get a greater idea of the sacrifice our ancestors made in order for us to live the way we do today.

The very last day we were able to make it out to see the Temple

It is gorgeous!

Our Nations Capital

Washington Monument

We are facing the Lincoln Memorial with the Washington Monument in the back. Unfortunately the reflection pond was not filled yet.

Lincoln Memorial

In the capital there are two statues from every state. The state is responsible for which statues they donate. The two from Utah are:

Philo T. Farnsworth

(father of television)

Brigham Young

Long Over Due

So I am terrible about updating this blog. I don't take very many pictures and I know people don't want to just read a novel every time. I guess that might just be me. Anyway, we are almost done here in Omaha and while it is sad to leave all our friends, we are very excited about moving on to new things. Tyler is done taking his national board exam and I hope he passed because I hear it is one hard test to take. Although I have faith in him that he passed it seems a little questionable when I get pictures like this from his dental friends:

This is Tyler's definition of "studying" at the Library!

Well I am glad it is at least overwith. Good Job Honey!

Tyler and some of his buddies came back for a second year as the Dean Team (intramurals-football) Tonight they just won their last game making them the "All U" champs for the second year in a row. It has been really fun to see them at all their games. They will be playing the champ intramural team from UNO Tomorrow night to try and win back the plaque for creighton. From what I understand, it has been at UNO for a while now. The Team consisted of 9 guys and here they are!

NICE WORK BOYS! GOOD LUCK AT UNO

Halloween 2009

I have been trying to get Tyler to do this costume for 2 years now and finally he did!
MR CLEAN

I think he pulled it off pretty good.

MY FIRST MARATHON!

A couple weeks ago we had the chance to go to Kansas City and Run in the Marathon. This was my first and Hopefully not my last seeing as I did enjoy myself. It was pretty amazing seeing everyone at the finish line and better yet, Tyler ran out as I was coming up the last hill and gave me just what I needed to sprint to the finish.

IT WAS AMAZING!

Here I am finally crossing the finish after what was the LONGEST run in my life!

When I signed up for the marathon, Tyler decided he wanted to do the relay marathon, so he and 4 other people ran the 26.2 miles passing the "baton" along the way. He did the second leg which was 6 miles. I am so proud of him! Good Job babe!

Can you believe it's that time already. We have put our town house up for sale because it's time to get ready to move on to new things. We do not know yet where but we know we'll be somewhere other than the glorious village green:) This is the view of outside of our place and it is gorgeous. If you are interested and want to take a look inside, chek out the pics at

Trip to Utah

We were able to make it to Utah during the break! YaY while there we hung out with fam and friends. Went to lake powell (pics are with my sis, they are on their way). Oh yeah and I ran the Provo 1/2 marathon. It was very exciting other than the fact I was being passed by old women!! I managed to beat my goal so I was happy but as far as i'm concerned with the seniors...Better luck next time:) There were so many people at the finish line I loved it. It felt like I was winning the gold medal, even though 99.9999999% of them were not there for me. Even with all the people we managed to get a few pics...Hopefully my photagrapher will do a little better next time;)

Next Show

For anyone who is interested in babyfrillz I am doing my next show on Sat June 13th (that's this sat). It is the Benson Arts Festival located on maple between 61st-63rd. They normally block off the whole street for 3 blocks and they have a bunch of different vendors. There is also, a car show, food, and kids activities like face painting etc. There is a farmers market as well as other various artists. I think it is going to be a lot of fun so come out have yourself a good day and support your local artists. It starts @ 8:30 in the AM and goes all day. Vendors will be there til at least 4 and the festival goes until 11PM.

Liberty Jail

So, I wish we had pictures of a little one to plaster all over our page but we don't so you'll just have to look at our ugly mugs until a little one comes along:) Tyler won't let me get a dog either so my luck stops there I guess. This past weekend over easter we were finally able to make a trip out to Kansas City. It is beautiful out there. There is tons to do too. We went out to some of the church sites, Liberty Jail, and the Independence visitors center. I would say it was definately eye awakening to see the small jail that Joseph Smith was held in for 127 days for no reason. I can't believe how small it was.

Then we got to do some shopping, and ate at some good restaurants. My Birthday was saturday so I got the pleasure of chosing the lunch place we ate at. It was called STIX & I would say it was one very amazing restaurant. Anyway, the guys went to the Yankee's game and the girls got to hang out. Oh don't you worry though, the freeway's in Kansas City are horrible, Becca had to do a couple of U-turns on our way to pick up the guys. All in All I would say it was a great trip.

Baby Frillz

Hey guys I have started a baby line called Baby Frillz. You should check out what I have. I am doing a show May second at Rockbrook Village on 114th and west center. There will be a ton of other crafters and artists. Its outside and it is FREE so you can't pass this up come walk around and see everything. DON'T MISS IT.

So the boys got to play intermural football this season and with a team full of amazing athletes they managed to pull off the championship for Creighton. After that we all got to go down to Lincoln and the boys played in the regional intermural football tournament. It was pretty fun, we got to go to lunch and have Panda Express since it is not in Omaha. Believe it or not...unlike Omaha, it's actually warm when it is sunny in Lincoln so it made it very enjoyable.

Tyler fell on his knee pretty

hard so they rushed

over the first aid team

to his rescue and iced it

all better.

So I think Keri is Wonder Woman:) After seeing the movie Twilight at the 12am showing (it was amazing by the way), we were on our way home when all of a sudden we hear a thud...thud...thud... we pull off at Bucky's and get out, sure enough, the tire is flat, not only is it flat but it is smoking and we can smell the burned rubber. So anyway, it's 2:30 in the morning and we are four girls in the freezing cold... lo and behold Wonder Woman aka...Keri...pulls out the tire tools and changes the tire in under 15 minutes, no joke!! Wow Keri, really? teach me how to do that. Who needs a man around when you have Wonder Woman. GO KERI!! luv you girl

Hey there it's me again. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am working right now while Tyler is at home eating cereal and watching TV. BYU...UTAH game was last saturday and a bunch of us went over to the buffalo wild wings to watch since none of us get the game on our tv's. It was a great game I would have to say considering Utah won by a blow-out. Up until this game I was under the impression that Tyler would stick by Utah, #1 because I am his wife & #2 because he went there for a year. NO!!!!!!!!!!! He decides he's going to cheer for BYU the WHOLE GAME just because they were behind. REALLY? I wanted to just scream. It didn't help that he had a little BYU fan sitting next to him who happens to be out neighbor. (Don't get me wrong, I luv our neighbors).

So today I decided it was time to update a little on my blog. No pictures yet because i'm lame. We are still out in omaha as most of you know and I am going to school at UNO, it is taking forever to get my degree. I promise you I will get it. Tyler is still at Creighton and we have another year and 1/2 til he's done here. Anyway, I am also working two jobs so i feel bad because I have been neglecting Tyler a little. He understands though, luckily. I am working part time for a financial planner and going to school the other days. Then at nights I teach fitness classes so I hardly have time for anything else. I try my best though. When I do have time, I love to cook and organize our house. Many of you asked what I was doing all week while Tyler went hunting. Well I locked myself in our back room and worked on it. It was pretty gross back there so I did a little carpeting and painting. Now it looks as good as new. I didn't take any before pictures and i'm hitting myself for that but as soon as I get the pics of the new room I will get them up. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!! NOVEMBER 4TH.

Elk Hunt

So Tyler has been gone for 3 days and I have missed him greatly. fortunately for him he is out hunting in Utah and this is what he got me:) It looks pretty good babe! He will be home sunday evening so I have to go a few more days without him.

Utah summer trip

As many of you know the boss' returned home to Utah for their break this summer. Yes boards are finally over and thank goodness for that! Good Job Tyler. We did some fun things while we were home, skydiving, tubing, four wheeling, boating, golfing etc. oh and tyler played golf on the Wii. (He's a pro! lol)

Tyler and his best friend Tommy after tubing

Tyler's double take (we don't know what the heck he was doing)

Tiff Wake boarding (man was I sore)

Many of you have asked us to stunt for you so here you go. I drug tyler to the gym with me to throw me up a few times, he was nervous a little bit but he's still got it i guess. It's always fun to see what you can still do:)

Happy Anniversary! One year ago we were married! YAY! I surprised Tyler with a sky diving adventure. I know we look real goofy please don't laugh but it was really a lot of fun.

So I am out in Utah and it is a blast:) Always fun to get away. Tyler I taking his boards on thursday, so I guess that's tomorrow and then he will be out here with me. Our 1 year anniversary is coming up on saturday and I am extremely excited:) All downhill from here right?

HI

THIS IS NOT WORKING HOW I WANT IT TO.

Scary Stuff

This is a picture of the tornado that ripped through the boy scout camp. I don' t know about anyone else but i have NEVER seen anything like this. I can't believe this actually happened just 40 miles from our house. Pray for the families of those four boys who lost their lives and also for those who were injured.

hi I am learning how to blog
