• me and brad arguing in front of our wards activity committee....um. k so that was anything but a highlight.
• brad carrying me to bed and putting me into my pajama's while pretending i was asleep so i didn't have to brush my teeth.
• me burning the chicken dinner sunday and brad telling me it's better like that, and me honestly getting mad because i knew he was lying.
• taking a 2 hour nap sunday evening at 7:00....and both of us not being able to sleep so instead staying up and talking in bed.
• feeling stupid because i officially realized i'm turning into a "nagging wife".

• holding a newborn baby at my work christmas party and brad telling me it looked good on me.

(picture from the county fair in the summer)

thank goodness for people who go all out

i love this picture

i just couldn't resist this picture.
every time i look at it i seriously laugh.
we went to go see new moon as a family.
we wanted all the girls to
sit together and all the guys to endure it together, ha.

during the movie i remember looking down the row after jacob ripped off his shirt to wipe bella's blood and seeing all the guys-not an ounce of expression on any of there faces, crouched down in there seats and every single one of them had there fists dug into there cheeks holding up there faces. i wish so bad i could have taken a picture.

what guys have to put up with is remarkable.

san francisco-part 5-menlo park

k folks, i promise i'm officially done with the pictures.

i can't begin to explain to you how beautiful it is where john and erin live.
even if we stayed just in there town we would have still been just as satisfied.
i still can't believe how nice it was of erin and john to give up there apartment!
and i can only imagine how much freaking fun they have there with there rollerblades and bikes. it would be impossible not to.
and even going to the stanford campus was beautiful to see.

we wouldn't have had this much fun if erin didn't basically write out a tour map for us.
she was awesome enough to tell us what to do and where to eat.
which by the way, my thighs are pooring over this little desk chair as i type...i gained about 57 extra pounds that i would have on a regular thanksgiving.

all of it was spectacular-thank you so much again mayfields!

san francisco-part 4-fishermans warf and china town

eww, i really am so sorry about all the pictures.
i promise we weren't there for 2 months.
everything was just so awesome, and i did go buck wild with the camera.
but i really was just obsessed with everything.
so please don't feel a bit hesitant to have to look, these pictures are mainly for me and brad mostly to remember with.

man, fisherman's warf-we loved it!
it not only looked like a giant scene from a movie, but there was so much to do.
and china town-well, it was awesome mostly just for looks.
nothing too much to do........................... or understand.

we bought a chinese pastry from this old woman who literally didn't know a LICK of english.
we kept asking what she would recommend and the only thing she would say back is "yes, uh huh, yes, yes" while nodding her head like a typical chinese person.

san francisco-part 3-the city

this city is magical!

our eyes were beyond glued to everything we could see.

but i promise i was a little disappointed because we were literally peeling our eyes
trying to find the "full house" house.
but we didn't have enough pride to ask someone "where is the full house, house?"

san francisco-part 2-golden gate perfection

this was my favorite part of the whole trip.
weather was perfect. and all we could do was just sit there in the sand and stare at the golden gate bridge. it was everything i expected. golden gate on our left, alcatraz on our right, ocean at our feet.
