Our Family Caramel Recipe

This is a wonderful recipe for either Caramel Apples or Caramel Popcorn Balls!! It would not be Fall without a yummy Caramel Treat! My Mom is a great Cook! I always remember her homemade goodies for special occasions. Maybe that is why us girls got together before Matt and I's wedding and made HUNDREDS of Caramel Popcorn Ball's for our wedding favor. They were yummy! Thanks girls for all your help! (Mom, Robin, Grandma, Natalie, Erica) Love ya!
****POPCORN BALLS AT OUR WEDDING****

Girls Trip to Park City

A few of us girls from work went to Park City this weekend. We had a lot of fun chatting , laughing , chilling, eating and shopping! It was great to have a girls night! Thanks Girls! It was a lot of fun!

I love Wednesdays... This day is our day. We normally get to spend the day together. Matt's off and I usually get off work by 11 or Noon. We love to go play or work hard together on a project. This last Wednesday we went up American Fork Canyon for a beautiful fall four wheeler ride. American Fork Canyon will always have a special place in my heart. I pretty much grew up there with my family. We were camping most every weekend in our various Trailers, Campers and even Tents. We had a Dune Buggy for a lot of my years growing up. Those were really fun memories I will not forget. I also hope to make many more new ones.

2 GREAT YEARS TOGETHER!

Happy Anniversary Honey! These past 2 years have gone by so quick, I guess that happens when you have as much fun as we do ;) I have been blessed beyond measure to have you as my husband for Eternity. Thank you for being so amazing, patient, sweet, loving, and fun! I'm so in love with you!!! I cannot wait to see what happens next! You are my love, my life my everything. Yours Forever, Jen

He Loves Me....

I went outside and Matt was mowing the lawn. He decided to leave me a message :)He is so sweet! I just love him!!!!( Big I, Big Heart , Big U )I could not get the best picture unless... I climbed upon the roof, yeah no thanks :)

Accent Wall is done!

I was bored of our Bedroom. So I decided to paint :) I would love a new Bedroom all together, but this will have to do for awhile.
