in a nutshell

Katie's bf AJ had his EAGLE project on Saturday morning.

such a great turnout! we painted the rails at Mountain Gate park which was also holding little league tryouts!! it was pretty funny when people leaned on the rails only to find their whole ARM was GREEN!! haha

we went straight over to Mason's 6th birthday party after the eagle project.
can I just say I LOVE this tree house!

Saturday night::: Leanna's baby shower!

the night ended with Landon getting horsey rides from Grandpa Greg!

and Sunday morning,,,
time with Grandma Donna Jean

and we're off...

to California!

I couldn't be happier!

it snowed on our...

started out with this beauty!

Charlie working hard

my job was to shovel the walkway to the front door,
trying hard to keep my church curls dry

then we had a typical Sunday spaghetti dinner, but wait,,, I surprised him with garlic bread sticks made from scratch.

some may say it's silly to celebrate monthly anniversary
but I say, why not?

it's a good excuse to do something special for your love.
wow, 9 months has flown by, we've grown a lot over the time we've been married, and have stayed so Happy!

a door opens

teaching is my life,
but being qualified to teach is still a process for me.
until now.
I start school on Monday at NY Tech online and will get my CDA.
for free!

Now I can do all of this, being certified and making more money!

- Color Me Mine

- mud park

my favorite,,, watching my babies sleep like angels

I can't wait to be certified and expand my horizons.
to teach knowing I worked my buns off to do so!

i love my daddy

Gregor Jon Dellenbach
is my daddy.
he had a birthday yesterday and I truly missed him.
he is such a silly man, full of adventure and has endurance like no other.
I'd like to say that I AM daddy's girl, ahem,,,
we've just always been close my whole life.

He IS the perfect father for me,
the perfect example of how I should live my life...
full of love,
family,
the Gospel,
being humble,
give to others before yourself,
and being loved.

i love you daddy

check back with us later...

because we have a new-found obsession with...

I never wanted to get into this series because you HAVE to watch every episode to understand the next episode. however, we were at blockbuster the other night and thought it'd be fun to try it out. let's just say we haven't stopped watching it, it's addicting!
this week we hope to buy all the seasons, amazon has some decent prices, we shall see!

on a sad note:
i can't find my cord that hooks up our camera to the computer, so no recent pics for a while :(

bittersweet farewell

last day in Savannah
started something like this...


off to dine at Five Guys.
find the nearest location and eat there, it's gOOd!

Charles and I went shopping on Broughton St. and met up with Reba
after work at
Leopold's Ice Cream Parlor.

the parlor was enchanting and the ice cream even better!

we are now back in the hustle and bustle of Provo.
back to reality
ya know how that all goes.
sweet Georgia,
till we meet again...

polar plunging into the new year

New Year's EVE we toured a SHIP, ate at Spankys on River street, and crammed ourselves like sardines in the City Market square!

the window Reba decorated at the { Paris Market & Brocante }

downtown Savannah. she's talented.

TODAY:

Polar Plunge on Tybee Island.

perhaps the craziest thing I've ever done.

running in icy cold water is pretty crazy.

I was a whimsical ballerina.

layer and layers of chiffon went in the atlantic ocean.

there were SO many people.

Siblings*

we went to Uncle Jonny's for a New Years FEAST

it's been busy here in Savannah.
