Giants: Take 2!

So I wish I had a more exciting event to talk about, but during spring training season Giant's game are a way of life! This was Ryan's 5th game in a month, but if it were up to him he'd spend every single day at the ball park. Ryan's older brother, Kyle, was in town for the festivities and we all spend Saturday afternoon cheering on the Giant's victory over the Brewers. Go San Fransico!

All decked out in SF gear!

Brotherly love: Ryan and Kyle

He loves this game!

Grubbing on cheeseburgers to celebrate the win!

Rockin Out...

Saturday was the lovely Candee Skousen’s birthday! So in celebration Matt put together a rockin desert party. Mark brought out his trailer with all the rock gear and we rocked out in the middle of the desert. It was quite a festivity! Happy Birthday Candee!!

Hardcore Rockstars!

The Birthday Girl!

Lovely Ladies!

In true desert style we had a bonfire.

Lucky for us we were saving our tree for just an occassion.

That thing went up in flames in seconds.

Take me out to the ball game...

Ryan’s favorite time of the year is finally here… baseball season! And even better… Giant’s Spring Training! So of course we were at the first Saturday game of the year. We got some lawn seat tickets, spread out on a blanket and enjoyed the game!

Hiking we go!

So after three and a half years together... I finally got Ryan to go hiking with me. We had the day off of work for President's Day and decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and hike Usery Pass. We had a blast and definitely plan to hike again soon!

Up the mountain we go

Conquered it baby!

Love Day!!

Ryan and I love to play up our holidays, and Valentine’s Day is no exception! Throughout the day we stumbled across surprises from each other. I found this teddy bear on my car seat first thing in the morning. Ryan found a love basket on his desk when he got back from a break and I was picked up for lunch in colorfully decorated car. We exchanged gifts later in the evening, but it was the fun little reminders of how much we love each other that made the day so much fun!!

Yes, he actually wrote this on my window!

Payson Snow Day!!

Who doesn't love to get away for the weekend? Well when we heard Payson had snow for us we decided to take a trip up to the cabin and spend a day playing in the snow!

Ryan's perfect landing

Ryan and I were at the mall this week and saw some long johns on sale. Well since we can never seem to find some when we need them we decided to snatch them up (so what if they're made for men! :) Well perfect for us, we got to model them as part of our snow gear. Sexy huh!?

Happy Birthday Kelsey!

My little sister, Miss Kelsey Taylor celebrated a very big birthday this week... her 21st! Kelsey's friends and I put together a surprise girl's dinner in her behalf at Macaroni Grill. As always, we had a blast together!


Earlier in the week we had a little family dinner and I made her a very special cake for the very special birthday girl!

Miss Study Buddy!

Ryan and I are both full time students, which means we have a ton of homework! Through all the late nights Bella has just been the best study buddy. Tonight I caught her keeping Ryan company, snuggled up on his shoulders and had to take a picture. So cute!

Picture Perfect!

Ryan and I were sealed in the Mesa, Arizona temple in November! Being that it was such a special event for us we decided to get a photographer to capture the day! Wer ecently got the pictures back and I wanted to share some of our favorites...
