Thanksgiving and a friend reunion!

My friend Susan (first row, middle) is having a baby in April!!! We were super excited to see her for Thanksgiving-so a few of us threw her a baby shower! These are just a few of the ladies who showed up in the first few minutes. It was fun to have an 'excuse' to see everyone. I was really sad that I wasn't feeling well and didn't get to go to dinner that night with all of the spouses :-( Hopefully Christmas will be better, when everyone comes back 'home' again!

This is my cute card that I made Susan!

This is one of the gifts that I gave Susan. This one was handmade. I love the frame with the boat on the bottom. I love checking out other blogs where I saw the tutorial for the boat!

This Thanksgiving we went to Fillmore where Craig is from. They do a fun tradition of making gingerbread houses. At first I was the only adult making one with my cute nieces and nephews. By the end of the fun I was at the table with all of my sister-in-laws! I had so much fun and look forward to this tradition next year!

This is my gingerbread house!

Happy Belated Fourth of July!

It has been way too long since my last post. Our internet connection was down for a couple weeks! :-(

Here are some fun things that w

e've been up to since my last post:

We went out for sushi at this great place in Logan called Happy Sushi. It is always so much fun to see how they present the food. It is always so beautiful! Craig had never had sushi before meeting me, now he REALLY loves it! (which is great with me because I love sushi too!!!) Sushi is something that we have on 'special occasions'. Craig decided that having the same day off of work was special enough for us to go. It was really cute!

Last week we also went hiking and fishing in both Logan Canyone and Porcupine Dam. It was so nice to be outside and enjoying nature. These are some of our pictures from those events.

One thing I'm sure that some of you don't know is that one day when I grow up I would LOVE to be a florist. Every couple weeks I get to work in the floral department at Maceys. It is always a welcome change and something that I really enjoy. I get to help with weddings, showcases and other events. This is a centerpiece that I made for our kitchen table at home. I absolutely love having fresh flowers around!

Last but not least we were able to go to see fireworks twice in one week. We went to Hyrum's fireworks on the 2nd and Logan's on the 3rd. We really enjoy watching the fireworks! I feel so grateful that we are able to have the freedoms that we have. This fourth of July I was reflecting on a billboard I saw that said, 'Land of the free because of the brave.' I am grateful for the sacrifices that have been made over many centuries for us to have the freedoms, opportunities and rights that we have. One day I want to be in Washington D.C. for the 4th of July!

Father's Day Weekend

This weekend we went down to Fillmore, Utah for Father's Day. Craig's cousin, Jeff, also had his mission 'farewell'. Jeff is going to Montevideo, Uruguay. This is really fun for us because one of our really good friends dad is the mission president for this mission! We were really excited to hear that he is going there. These pictures were taken in Jeff's family barn. I've personally never seen a barn before with several fridges, freezers and a/c. It was a lot of fun to have this get together.

These are just two of our Olsen cuties! We have Carrie on the left and Luke on the right. They are both soooooo cute! I wish I could've gotten a picture of all of our nieces/nephews on the Olsen side. It is always so fun when we have our famly get togethers and we can see them.

This is the present I made and gave to Craig for Father's day. NO I am not pregnant (one day, but hopefully not too soon) but I think that Father's day is still a day for me to honor Craig even though we don't have little Olsen's running around. This is a wallet made out of paper that we did at our Stampin Up! club activity this month. (Thanks Shelly! This idea was sooo cute!) I also made one of these for my dad and filled it full of pictures and other gift cards. They were both so impressed and it was so much fun to see their faces when they got each of theirs. (I seriously have to work on the picture thing though....why didn't I think about getting pictures of them when they were opening their presents?!?!?!?)

On our way home we stopped in Sandy and went to this reptile/fish store. There are so many different types of fish/reptiles here. It is almost like going to an actual aquarium but it's FREE! One day when we have our own home we'll have an aquarium! Craig really, really looks forward to this day!

About

Craig and I have been married for a little over 2 years. When we aren't working or going to school we like to play 'Lost Cities', cook together, go for walks, watch movies and eat ice cream. We have a pretty low key life. One day we'd like to have a family. For now I have a camera. :-) If you are interested in checking out my photography site please visit www.belindaolsen.com I specialize in newborn, toddler, children and family photography. Other photography available upon request.

Seriously?!?!?!

Thanksgiving and a friend reunion!
