Arizona Fun

Well, seeing as how Nathan and I are going back to AZ in a week, I decided it might be a good idea to write about the last time I was there :)
I had two weeks off between my clinical year of PA school and the summer research semester so I decided to go to AZ. Nathan didn't have enough vacation days and was still getting settled in at his new job so he didn't join me. I had such a great time! Grady took us to all the beautiful model homes that nobody is buying because of the wonderful economy and me and Mom got some decorating ideas. She was embarrassed to say she was looking for herself so she kept telling the sales people that I was living in NY but wanted to buy a house in AZ and move there...haha keep dreaming Ma! We did so many fun things!!!

Outside Grady's School after his band concert, he's so awesome!!


I'm proud to say the Olsen family finally beat the Smelser's at this year's baseball game!!! We were so excited the Lewis family decided to join us too. Now all we need is for Maeg and Whit to be there. Yay, for neighborhood reunions!


Grady's baseball team, the Yankees, had several play-off games while I was there - he is the greatest pitcher EVER!!! Go Yankee's!!!!

Kevin and Lauren's Wedding

We had a wonderful weekend! Not only were 2 of our favorite people sealed together but we also got to see some amazing family. We went through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky to get there and one speeding ticket later (it was my fault, I fell asleep and he can't control his speed unless I'm watching over his shoulder) we made it to Cincinnati! We stayed with Uncle Lyle, Aunt Janet, and Ashlee. We had delicious Norwegian pancakes, lots of snowies and a very fun time. The wedding was also so so so wonderful! I was planning to be very critical of Kevin to make sure he was good enough for one of my best friends and he was. He was so sweet to her and I could tell he was going to make her very happy! I forgot how much I missed being around Lauren and we had such a blast! Lauren was absolutely gorgeous of course! I also got to spend some quality time with Melissa (poor Target employee - never seen anyone blush quite like that). On our way home we stopped in Columbus to play with Adam, Amber and Shane! I think it was a perfect weekend! Sorry if the pictures look bad - I took them from facebook :)

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Easter was a nice day! The Badgers hosted us at their place for a delicious dinner with all our friends. Please tell me this picture of Breyton isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen? Poor kid woke up from his Sunday nap to a bunch of crazy adults in his house. He looks so confused! Haha, I'm sure he'll tell you he had a great time though because he had way more juice than his parents would have liked thanks to everyone there who just couldn't say no. Cute little baby Andy and Brody had a nice nap too (such little angels)!

Exciting Update!!!

It has been almost 2 months now but I'm so proud of my cute hubby - He has moved to a new position and will now be working in Mid-town Manhattan as a Private Client Associate for Bernstein! (same company cooler job) This is him doing the traditional pose, no he isn't going to second grade, he's going to his second JOB! YAY for Nathan!!!!

Craziness!

We had visitors - YAY - so much fun!!!! Mom and Grady came to NY and we had so much fun! We saw Wicked, again. All 4 of us sat in the front row again because Nathan and Grady won the lottery. We also won the lottery for Shrek (but almost everyone at that lottery won lol) We also went to the top of the Empire State Building, saw EVERY Trump building in NYC, visited the Natural History Museum and went to the Temple. Sooooo much FUN!!! Sorry - lots of pictures and not much to say other than too much fun!

Nathan turns 26!

Hmmmm it seems as though I can only manage to blog when it is Nathan's birthday - So, here's to another birthday for Mr. Faldmo. Our birthdays weren't quite as crazy as last year (what can really get better than a surprise party) - BUT we still had fun. I made Nathan a Texas sheetcake and decorated with his favorite team - the MAVS! We also had some friends over for enchiladas! Unfortunately I couldn't put cute little Brody down so I didn't take any pictures but Nathan did!
