My Baby is Growing!


Oh the miracle of life!

I am 6 weeks along...




Not THAT type of baby!!!!!

Remember this little Roma tomato plant/baby of mine...

BAM...!!! Look at it 6 weeks later


And Phil's little jalapeno plant...

TADA...


It's been so fun to watch them grow! We did have a little scare with them though. Last weekend Phil and I went to Lake Powell with his family. I wanted to get the plants a babysitter because they were going to miss two days of watering before we were back home. Phil was pretty confident that they would be fine so I didn't get anyone to water them. We got back from Powell on Sunday and Phil went out to water them. He came back inside and told me that they were dying. I thought he was kidding...I hoped he was kidding...he wasn't. I went outside to see and the poor things looked horrible. They were droopy and brown. I honestly wanted to cry. And I'm not even exaggerating. I felt like I had been so good with them for the past 6 weeks only to go away for the weekend and kill them. Lucky for us, we checked on them later that evening and they looked great. They just needed some water and a little TLC!

Today, Phil and I counted 30 tomatoes on my plant and 4 jalapenos on his (but there are several jalapeno buds just waiting to pop). It's so exciting. I can't wait for my tomatoes to ripen up so I can eat them!




That's my biggest tomato so far.
Strangely, it doesn't look as big in the
picture as it does in real life.

I'm so proud of my little babies ;)

And no! I'm really not pregnant with a baby. I feel like I need to clear that up ;)

2 Year Anniversary!!!

Exactly two years ago, Phil and I had the best day of our lives. We had an amazing sealing at the Timpanogos temple followed by a beautiful reception in Philip's backyard. I'm so thankful for the past two years and all of the fun Phil and I have had together. He truly is my best friend. I love you Phil!








Phil and I celebrated our two years last weekend. We went up to the Anniversary Inn in Logan on Friday night and then spent Saturday in Salt Lake wondering around the Gateway until it was time for dinner at the Melting Pot!!!!

Phil and I had so much fun in our oriental themed room! There was a sweet tub, a huge TV, a little fountain and a Zen Garden that we had fun playing with. I got a little picture crazy ha.











Neither of us had ever been to the Melting Pot and we loved it! It was such a yummy dinner and dessert was AMAZING!






This morning Phil snuck out of bed early and surprised me with this....

Homemade maple syrup, french toast, and a beautiful orchid. I seriously wasn't expecting any of this so it was a fun surprise.

I wasn't a blogger this time last year, so just for my records, here is a quick up recap of our 1 year anniversary. Phil and I drove to California, spent two days at Disneyland/California Adventure and we went to the beach. We went to the San Diego temple on our actual anniversary and then we went to the San Diego Zoo! It was such a fun trip. The only thing that made me sad was that the San Diego temple was under construction plus it was windy the day we went so we couldn't even get a good picture.







We got matching Henna tattoos that say Eternity
