Oklahoma City - Air traffic control training

Scott lived in Oklahoma for 3 months for training for his new job in SLC as an air traffic controller. (Feb-May) I stayed home and worked here but I was able to go out a visit him twice.  This picture is when I went out on the weekend of our anniversary.  In Oklahoma City they have a river walk right through middle of the city. 

 

This is at the Oklahoma City bombing memorial.  It was pretty sad seeing all of the people that died especially the kids that were at the day care that day.

We went to the botanical garden that they have there.

The next pictures are when I came out over spring break.

The zoo in Oklahoma is pretty awesome.  It's the 5th biggest in the US.

They have this amazing gigantic lake there with a walking trail all the way around it.  We ate at a nice mexican restaurant right on the lake.  So pretty.

One day when Scott was in class, I went to the osteology museum they have there.  I thought it was pretty neat.  They have almost every animal skeleton you can think of there.

We went to remington park.  That was the first time that I have seen horse races in real life before.

I couldn't wait for Scott to come back home.  I'm so glad he's home now.  He's such a good man to me!

Ski Trip - Valentines

My parents gave us some ski passes to Park City for Christmas. We had a blast. After skiing, Scott and I went up to the St. Regis in Deer Valley to spend the night. They have the best hot chocolate there.

























Scott is the best husband in the world. I'm so glad I married him almost 7 years ago. He made my Valentines so special. He surprised me with an iPod and some beautiful long stem roses. We went to Pei Way for dinner and then he took me to see the Vow. So romantic. The love that they had for each other in that show reminded me of the love that Scott and I share.

Merry Christmas! 2011

This is the 7th Christmas Scott and I have shared together since we've been married. He was good to me and got me a new GPS for my car. I get lost easy, so it's a gift that keeps on giving. I gave him over a month's worth of lunch for work in gift cards.
My parents were good to us this year too. We both got temple clothes and a booklet of Park City Ski passes.
This is my mom's extended family. We get together every Christmas morning and my grandpa makes breakfast for us.

Scott and his brother n laws all got matching coats. They thought they were quite the flamers. We also got a lot of other nice clothes from Scott's mom and perfume and cologne.
Here's my brother Tyler with his light up reindeer ears.

Amanda and Nate's wedding

Scott's sister Amanda got married on November 11, 2011. She married Nate who used to work with Scott as a valet. Nate takes really good care of Amanda and we're very happy to have him in our family. I love my husband in a tux. He looks like a stud muffin!
Here's our cute nephew Mackay all styling out in his tux. Don't you just want to kiss him?
Amanda actually got married in the Salt lake temple. They decided to do a ring ceremony so the people that couldn't see them get married could take part in their wedding. The funny thing is, is that they forgot to get a marriage license. So the temple part took a bit longer than expected. It was veteran's day and it was a little tricky to get into the court house.
Here's nan (Scott's cute grandma)

It was also my brother Stockton's 15th birthday that day also. My parents threw him a big party at my dad's warehouse. So after the reception we celebrated 11/11/11 at a junior high party. My parents got a DJ for him and had a big dancing party. They decorated it way cool. They had black lights, a disco ball, and lots of junk food. It was probably the coolest party of those kid's junior high existence.

Las Vegas

Scott and I went for a Halloween weekend getaway to Las Vegas. We stayed in Scott's dad's place at the Signature MGM. It's connected to the MGM but has better rooms. The picture up above is off the balcony in our room. We drove down Friday afternoon and drove back Sunday afternoon. It would of been a lot better if we could of had an extra day to stay there but Scott has a hard time getting off of work. We swam at the pool most of the day. It was a nice 80 degree temp. Saturday night we went to a nice buffet with lots of crab legs, yum. Then we went and saw Chris Angel's Believe.
This is a sculpture Scott liked at an art gallery.
These were taken at the Bellagio. I love the garden there.

Yellowstone

The past couple of years we've gone to Yellowstone with Scott's family. This is a picture of us at bear world. I was thinking "deer please don't touch me".
Here's our cute nephew with the animals at the petting zoo. He loved it.

The baby bears were so cute!


At Yellowstone park we saw lot's of elk and bison. We also saw a grizzly bear. That was pretty awesome.

Weston and Maddie September 30, 2011

My brother Weston got married on Friday September 30, 2011 to Maddie Cook. They are so cute together. They got married in the Salt Lake temple that morning. I forgot my camera, so I only have pictures of the reception. My family had a luncheon for them at Tucanos. Then the reception was that night at the Cook's home. It was all outside and everything looked amazing. They had a receiving line for the first couple of hours and then we had dancing. When they left we let off these glowing lanterns that you light on fire and we did these huge sparklers as they left also.
Our friends Jane and Johnny came to the wedding with there cute boys. Weston was in their ward when he was on his mission in Virginia.
Great grandpa Fords, aunt Shana, uncle Nolan and Tyler my brother.
Jane's been such a great friend to me over the years. She definitely went out of her way to make me feel welcome when I first moved into the area in 7th grade. Thanks Jane:)
Uncle Brent, aunt Kris, cousins- Morgan and Olivia.
Wedding always remind you of your own. I'm so happy that I married Scott 6 1/2 years ago. He's the love of my life.
The first dance!
