Happy THANKSGIVING Pilgrims!

Phew! What a fun crazy week we had.

We've been in Georgia all week for Thanksgiving/one of our best friend Kyle's wedding (congrats ya'll!). It's been nice and warm and relaxing. I'm not quite ready to get back to the Idaho winter that awaits me.

If I had to pick one picture to sum up our week here it would be this one:

That's Paisley. (and my Kristen Stewart buck teeth. I own them) She's our niece and the daughter of my sis-in-lawbff, Jamie. and I'm just kind of obsessed with her. Like, if you saw my cell camera pictures (my instagram photos are just the tip of the iceberg) right now you would think that she was MY child because I have so many pictures of that girl. but I can't help it, she is just too beautiful and sweet. and also really advanced for a four month old, she can already do math, probably.

I could tell you about every single detail of our vacation, but I'm not gonna. I just really wanted to brag about how precious Paisley is. Just know that we've been talking real southern up in here (can't help it) and that we ate waaaaaay too much (all week, not just on Thanksgiving) and lost all our eating inhibitions. back to dieting on Monday... until Christmas of course.

Also, I just realized that all my best friends have beautiful babies, see evidence here. 

I guess I just know how to pick em. 

the almost entire month of April, condensed.

I literally just stopped blogging for a minute. Well, longer than a minute. And I know it's not like i have some sort of crazy following where I ruined people's lives from not blogging, but I am kind of sad that I didn't blog very much in April, because we kind of did a lot. Including celebrated our 1 year anniversary! Holla.

Welp, I'll start from where I left off. [and I apologize if you follow us on instagram, you will have seen most of these, cause that's what we've been doing instead of using a real camera. SORRY]

Taylor adjusted back to American life nicely.

He joined a soccer league:

Then, ALL of my sister-in-laws and their children came to visit for spring break and we went to the beach for a couple days:

Tayl put Lux in his shirt:

I got surprised with an early anniversary gift:

We spent easter weekend in Valdosta:

Pregnant karaoke!

Laney girl.

On Sunday we were basically all playing scramble against each other. TECHNOLOGY!

From Valdosta the Tayl and I headed down to Amelia Island, FL to spend a couple of days celebrated our anniversary:

My poorly timed cell phone short of the Florida state line.

Tayl & his driving glasses

 Once we got settled, we went for a walk on the beach:

Random sunglasses I found with barnacles growing on them.

Tay was trying to take this picture of the ocean when this stranger's dog ran by.

Crab shell

Jelly fish

The view from our Hotel.

 Our actual anniversary was actually what I would consider a perfect day:

We got up and went to play tennis.

After tennis we went to the beach.

If you can't tell, this is my face smashed up against the beach chair.

awwwww yeeeeaaah.

After the beach we went back to the hotel and showered and went out for dinner at MOON RIVER PIZZA:

WHEN THE EFF DID WE GET ICE CREAM?

Then we went to play mini-golf (surprisingly, our first mini-golf date together):

After our lovely little vacay, it was back to normal life:

I had to spend forever at the DMV to update my driver's license.

I finally got my georgia plates. Two years later.

I  ALSO FINALLY FOUND CORAL THROW PILLOWS!

We went fishing on the boat with Taylor's cousin Zack:

We went to the Earth Day festival at Forsyth park and learned about composting:

Later in the week we went back to Forsyth park to watch the Goonies:

And on an unfortunate note, my Grandpa Coffin (my dad's dad) passed away last weekend. I was extremely sad that I couldn't go to Utah to be with my family for the funeral. Here's his obituary, I thought it was really sweet, and I recommend it. And even though death is never easy to deal with, it's good to know that he is in a better place and doesn't have to be sick anymore. 

Hopefully I will blog more in May so that I won't have to do this again.

Ketchup - Halloween.

Well, I actually really missed blogging. Not being able to do it made me realize that I actually do enjoy documenting our lives (without having to scrapbook, bleh.). I love technology.

Today I'm gonna blog like I'm getting paid and the rent is due tonight. bear with me children.

Okay so I guess I will start from Halloween weekend.

We decided to go down to Valdosta for Halloween weekend, because everyone else was and it was the last time we were all going to be together until Christmas. and I mean EVERYONE. I'm talking Nana, Pop, Jamie, Jeff, Sally, Curtis, Laney, April, Thomas, John, Angie, Kendall, Logan, Dylan, Alex, Lux, Me, and Taylor.

Friday was Angie's birthday so we went to dinner at a hibachi grill.

John being a model.

Chatting.

Me and the birthday girl.

Giggling. Jeff was banished to the corner.

UM yes. that sushi roll is called PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH

The whole gang.

My snaggle teeth.

Curtis eating a baby octopus.

Angie, John, and Jared, all being models.

I made this same face for like a serious of 15 photos. it was creep.

This is how they fell in love.

Thomas is the outcast.

After dinner we went to back to Nana's for cake and ice cream and partied moderately hard.

Dylan helping helping with his mom's candles.

Jamie and KENDALL

Lux lusting after Jeff.

Laney telling us what the doggy says.

This picture just makes me LOL.

Saturday was the Trunk o Treat at the church and somehow we managed to get everyone dressed up, even the dogs. 

Curtis and precious Laney

Thomas not being creepy at all....

my last minute princess peach costume.

Laney doin a jig.

John was my favorite for the night.

John and April

Angie's last minute pirate costume.

Some very appropriate things happened during this photoshoot.

Last year I was the star of the couples costume, so I thought I could take the backseat this year.

squIRREL!

Pop

OHHH THomas.

Me and Jamie should go blonde. and Sally should always do that with her mouth.

Curtis, from Waycross.

too bad laney was drunk (off breastmilk) in this picture.

 So basically it was a super fun weekend and BTW all of those costumes were last minute costumes, so we're pretty much amazing. 

But on Sunday we had to go home so that we could move into our new place on Monday

Next up, the post about moving in.
