Bluehouse becomes official...

This coming Thursday Bluehouse is having its official launch party! Yay! They're going to be showing a ski film that is pretty awesome. You should check out the sneak preview video below, and you should come. Adam has been talking with the owners of "spoon me" the new pinkberry place in SLC, and I think they are going to host the after party. It's going to be crazy fun!


Halloween at Wadley Farms


Who didn't love Double Dare? We ending up winning 2nd place in the costume contest and got a $30 gift certificate to the mall! Pretty sweet. I think Laura's pics of this event are better, so if you want to see better pictures check out the Beutlers blog.


What is that sick face I'm making? For those of you who have seen me dance, is that my dance face? Because if it is I need to get a new one. I can't believe I even posted this pic, I hope from this pic you can feel the awesomeness of the dance party that night. It was pretty fun.


Lyndsey and Joey as Napoleon and Deb. Lucy is a little punk. Her shirt says "little punk." Need I say more.


Big Lucy and little Lucy. My mom even came to the party. That's what happens when you get married and move home.


Keri, Andrew and Lily.


Lily was killing me. She loved how soft her costume was and kept throwing herself on the ground and then would start cracking up. We were so entertained .



Laura, Dillon and Gage.


The Buck and Bryce.


Jessi Ann and Lucas. Jess made their costumes, I thought they looked great.


Jody and cute Lana. I wish you could see her face, she is the most beautiful little girl.

Birthday surprise


My 28th birthday. For those of you who don't know, my husband Adam is fantastic at making birthdays full of secrets and surprises. He is also a very good gift giver, always knowing what I want or need even when I don't realize it's what I want until I open the gift and freak out saying "oh my gosh, this is exactly what I wanted! How did you know? I didn't even remember this is what I wanted?!" He's just observant like that. I love him. We went to our favorite restaurant Stoneground, and then to the new Pinkberry wanna be "Spoon Me" which just opened here in SLC like a month ago. Yes I know, they took our idea. Actually there is another place that is opening soon called the "Red Mango." We decided there was just too much competition. We would just be happy with the fact there are going to be places here where we can get good frozen yogurt. I've been craving pinkberry for almost 5 months now. I was surprised at how good it was, but it wasn't the same. Pinkberry is better. Then we went on a small shopping trip. This is where the surprise comes in. As one of my birthday presents my wonderful husband...this will sound weird to some of you...took me to buy a new BRA! Ok, so it's kind of a big deal because he didn't just take me to buy any bra, but the best bra in the world that will change every women's life. A year or so ago, both Kaedi and Rebecca went to this place called "My Intimacy" in NY to get bra fittings. Supposedly, there was this episode on Oprah or something that said like 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. They came home and convinced me that I needed to go because I would never be the same after I bought the bra "that fit." I went, I loved it, I got a bra, I wore it every second, and right after we got married my miracle bra broke. Of course it broke, I wore it all the time. I found out they sell the same bra at Nordstrom, but they are so dang expensive that I could never bring myself to buy one. So on my birthday my dear husband took me bra shopping. It was perfect. I now have the bra of my dreams and am so happy!

Everyone should have sisters

One of my most favorite things to do in the world is be with my sisters. They are my best friends and have been my saving grace since we moved back to Utah. I miss the city more than I ever expected. Since I've been homesick for NY, my wonderful sisters planned a trip to San Fransisco so I could get my fill of the city for a couple of days. ( a city bigger than SLC that is.) It was so perfect. We invited Alisha, our sister in law and our good friend Katie Moss. We walked the city streets, did a lot of shopping, went to H&M like 4 different times. (not for me, katie is a shopaholic) ate clam chowder on the pier, watched the street performers, went to the outdoor market, smelled the smells of the city, bought jewelry on the street, and just played. It seriously made me so happy to be there. Even though it wasn't NY I still just loved being in the city.

I've always wanted to see the "full house" house and for some reason whenever we go to San Fran we see the bridge, the curvy street, the warf, etc and we never see the "full house" house. I demanded that we see it while we were there. As expected Katie didn't want to come, she had shopping to do, so she and Alisha went to H&M for a 7th time while me and the sisters went to post card row. Isn't it a perfect San Fransisco picture?


Cheese. I was in heaven, At the out door market there are all these local farmers that bring their freshly made cheese for people to sample and buy. So many kinds, and so yummy. The fresh goat cheese with homemade crackers were my favorite. It made me miss Diane. We bought some to snack on the rest of day. Ok, it only lasted for like 5 seconds.

i love skis.

I wish you could have seen our basement...Adam was in heaven...ski heaven.
We shipped the bulk of the skis ourselves (with the help of a couple of very nice friends, family and some random guys that read about our little shipping party on the forum). It was kind of out of control, but once we got the assembly line going it was pretty speedy.

Hayley and Gracie were down that weekend, they were so excited about uncle Adam's new skis!

Just so you know, I cut out that stencil.
It's pretty perfect.


So many boxes.

Hooray for missionaries!!

You may have never thought it would happen, but miracles do happen! Eric and Marcus have both left on missions! We couldn't be happier and I know they couldn't be happier either. I 'm so proud of them. Eric left straight from Utah for the Guatemala MTC so we saw him off on the curb at the airport...kind of weird that we didn't have the MTC experience with him. They sent him his name tag in the mail and he was on his way... all by himself!

Marcus was in the MTC for awhile but he has actually already left and is now in Guadalajara Mexico. This is a pic of happy bro's saying goodbye to each other at the MTC.

Marcus becoming official. I love the name tag with the orange dot. You're right, I still have mine.

Last pic with Marcus and all his brother's and sisters.


The Fam.

technologically savvy?

Ok, so that post below was my first post and totally messed. First of all I wanted the pictures to be in the opposite order, the last ones first and the first ones last. Then, what is up with the text...how do I make it go just below the pics? Well, I think I have figured it out now and I could erase the whole thing do it over again so it's normal but... who cares right? I posted it months ago. My chance to redo has passed.
