We had kind of a different Valentines this year. I should start off by saying that we never have a really good Valentines day so this was a pretty good one. Anyway my cousin was getting married in the Salt Lake temple so my mom, sister, nephew, Preston and I went to Salt Lake Friday. Since Zach isn't that fun to travel with we had Preston's family watch him which we were very grateful for. We went to eat at Macaroni Grill and then went swimming Friday night. The next day we woke up and headed to the temple. It was snowing like crazy, but the wedding was really nice. We waited for them to come out and when my mom, nephew and me couldn't wait any longer we went to the Joesph Smith building and watched the movie. It was a really good movie but I was worried because I had left Preston outside in the snow with my family. He was a really good sport because he walked all around the temple in the snow helping Amy take pictures. On a side note the best part was when we were waiting for my cousin and his new wife to come out Preston was holding the door open as people went in and out of the waiting room. As Preston held the door open for a family they went through and then Preston said I think that is the Osmond boy off of American Idol. I took a second look and then I said and that's his father. I ran to check with my mom because she is an Osmond expert and she confirmed it. Then my aunt told me that my other cousin and her had had a whole discussion with him in the temple when changing shoes. Preston wouldn't go stand by him outside of the temple so I could get a picture though. Anyway, I think that is a pretty good place to meet someone famous.

This is us at the reception and yes I do know my hair is really big and wavy thanks to the snow!

This is a picture Preston took while he waited for us to come out of the movie.

We had planned that we weren't going to get each other anything for Valentines Day because all I wanted was to eat at the Melting Pot. Unfortunately the Melting Pot didn't have any reservations so I was pretty upset. Preston got these flowers for me from his mom. It wasn't a surprise but it was still very sweet.

I HATE BEING SICK!

Sorry this is going to be a long and probably confusing blog. Zach and I have been really sick for the past week and a half so this is to catch up on everything. I had my birthday and it was so much fun. That is my cake up above. Preston, Zach, my nephew Scott and Preston's brother Parker picked it out (yes it is Barbi!). Preston says he told them how to spell my name, but they seem to have gotten it wrong anyway. I got a new camera so notice the better pictures even though I am still learning how to use it. Later that night I took Preston night boarding in Brian Head. It was his first time and mine since we've been married. We were going to take the new camera but I was afraid I would fall and break it. Anyway, Preston did really well and we snowboarded until my binding on my board broke (Thanks dad for fixing it).
This next picture is of the fabulous haircut that I gave Preston. We really should have taken a before and after because it had been so long since his last haircut and if any of you know him you know how thick his hair is. Well I think it turned out ok so Alisha if I did something wrong just pretend that it is the greatest haircut.

Ok last but not least ever since Zach was a baby he won't fall asleep anywhere but his crib and his carseat. For the last few weeks, probably because he hasn't felt well, he has fallen asleep in some funny places. Here are a few...

My mom's house on my birthday....

On Megan... thanks for watching him by the way

and on me.
He has been so good while he has been sick and I am so grateful for Preston putting up with Zach and me. I will try to do better with blogging now that I have a new camera.
