cutler clan in indiana: round 2

as i posted from earlier, we went to a little water park one day too!

to say i LOVE pools and the sun is a big understatement.

i'm from the valley of the sun for goodness sakes!

this summer i've been known to complain that it's not hot enough here,

yowza.

so although the sun wasn't out much, we did finally get to go to a pool and catch a few UV rays!

 







 
i was able to get away from the camera for some time and participate in the water fun.
the water was darn cold to begin with but if you went down the slides once and were forced to endure the cold water,
it wasn't bad at all after that!

pb and j's were made.
texas caviar was enjoyed.
fruit was eaten.
and fun was had.

cutler clan in indiana: round 1

what a week it was!

the cutlers came in town and were with us playing for nearly a week and we all had a blast.

i tried to work as little as i could and it really wasn't that bad.

the week consisted of food, games, and plenty of entertainment.

round 1:
we took a trip to the dental school cody goes to.
we took a hovering tram thing called "the people mover" across the campus
we ate at a cute little cafe and wrote on their wall.
we ate their yummy food
we played bingo.

another day we had a little bbq here at the house!
it was food galore and so good.
outside games included.
with a little bit of limbo action


 

round 2 coming tomorrow!

happy 4th of july weekend!

the cutler clan is still in town here in indiana!
we're soaking up all the time we can with them while they're here
we've gone to the water park and been to the zoo!

sunday we'll be spending out time with more family and celebrating the 4th!

 
we'll be wearing our red white and blue the next 2 days.
hope you enjoy time off/time with family too!

happy 4th of july!

A time off for the Wife!

                     So since Kimber always has to do the blog updates I figured it would be nice to give her a break for one post although she will probably post again after me anyways and I am ok with that. My family just came into town Tuesday night and we have had bunches of fun some while Kimber is working and I feel bad that she isn't with us all the time so maybe that is partially a reason why I am doing this post because I want her to know that she is not forgotten! Yesterday we kind of toured around Cody's Dental school and possibly a place where we will end up next year as well. We went out to eat at a cute Cafe and walked along the canal in downtown Indianapolis. The food has been great and the company even better. I'm going to cover more of today since Kimber had to miss the morning time so here are a few pictures that we took. We went and played tennis and surprisingly my mom and dad smoked Cody and I in a 6 game set of Tennis. I really am not that great at this sport haha maybe that is why Kimber wants to start playing because she could probably smoke me most of the time. Jaden, our nephew loves the pool so we set up a little play pool in the back yard and I couldn't resist since I haven't gone swimming yet since being in Indiana. So we played with the slide into the pool I kinda just hung out. That was basically what we did today and Kimber really was missed. Jaden would always ask for Ber ber even though he is pretty fascinated with all the grandmas and grammies (a little inside joke). Well Kimber your Awesome and you are loved for what you do to make the Cutler family work sometimes even if it is making money while some of us play. Love you! 

Jaden's gotta eat some food!

I got the splash right in the face!

This pool shouldn't be able to fit us should it haha

We got Thrashed

Had to teach Jaden Sumo Wrestling sometime!

happy birthday to you.

last night,

i watched this little cutie open her birthday presents via gmail video chat!!
here, she is showing me her new necklaces i gave her.
don't tell, but i actually stole borrowed those from my mom back in high school, took them with me to college, and now my neck is too big and they just don't look cute on me, 
so i thought i'd do a justly service and pass them down the line :)

remember when i did this same thing with her on her 2 year birthday?

i am so grateful we have video chatting.
i love that communication!
and it made me feel like i was actually there!
each present she would show to me (the computer) specifically so i too felt included.

so happy birthday miss 3 year old!

and dearest all other siblings and SIL's, feel free to include casey and i on the action via video chat with all your kid's birthdays we're not there for, 
thanks :)

so how old are you?

fact: i'm married

fact: i've been married a year and a half

fact: i'm 20 (although sometimes i may fib and say i'm 21:)

this is probably the first environment i've been around that looks at me strangely bc i'm so young and married but i don't have any kids, gasp! it's far more acceptable and reasonable around here to have kids at my age, but not be married, what's up with that? 

probably half or more of the girls i work with at kohl's have kids, and these girls are pretty much my age and not married! crazy! so in our conversations something will come up about "my husband..." and in awe they say "you're married!? how old are you?" those are the literal words that come out of their mouth everytime, ha. i've heard of plenty experiences like these where when you come out to the east, everyone is just flabbergasted that such a "young, pretty girl" would be married!

i love being married. i absolutely love it. there's one person in this world who cares about all the details of my life each day and doesn't get bored of me sharing them. and there's one person in this world that i know so many things about and i learn of his day everyday and how it went. we are literally best friends. it is just such a blast to be together and share so many things together! everyone should get married i say :)

i am so happy i married as young as i was, there's that many more fun things we can share together! like seriously, how many couples get to go skydiving together? or college together (ok, maybe lots there, but we have literally been in each other's lives since the 2nd day we came to BYU). i'm so happy we get such a long time to be together, just he and i, at this young age, while being married. this time is literally priceless together.

i'll be sad the day we leave provo bc provo is literally our home, it will have been our home together for nearly 4 years! provo will hold a special place in my heart forever. and whenever i drive into that wasatch valley, i will feel like i'm coming home.

so in conclusion, those indianans who think i'm crazy for getting married so young, i smirk and think to myself "you don't know what you're missing out on"

the Kentucky temple.

we were able to go to the temple!
wahoo!
except the temple is TWO hours away in Louisville, KY! ha, but it was still wonderful :)
no really it was, i'm grateful that the temple was even that close!

we listened to efy music pretty much the whole way there,
it was so fun to have all those fun efy memories flood our minds, so many good memories.
we listened to each other and laughed, seriosuly we both loved efy and both wish we got to be counselors,
instead we chose to be married :)
in the temple! ha.

afterwards we took a little detour to downtown Louisville, KY to a little deli place.
very appetizing if i do say so myself.
