I need to preface this blog with a note that I, Troy, posted these pics without any permission from Whitney, Landon, or Kelsey... When they see them I will probably be in big trouble, but they were too good, I had to share...

It has seriously been a long time since our last post and a lot has changed. Some of our best friends Landon and Kelsey moved down from Provo so Kelsey could go to the beauty school down here. We have always had a blast hanging out with them and were really excited for them to move down here. Within the first few nights we took them to Los Jilbertos, the local "hole in the wall" mexican joint. It was early in the morning and we were tired so we decided to take some funny pictures....we were really tired.

Fourth of July Extravaganza!!!

After visiting our new niece last week we headed up north for the Fourth of July weekend. My best friend Houston and his wife Rachael came with Whitney and I to Taylor, AZ for the festivities. As you can see the trip down there was exciting.... Every year my family goes there for the annual firing of the anvil, and the fourth of July rodeo. When we got there Friday afternoon we met the rest of my family and had some barbecue and played games. The next morning was the lighting of the anvil, a Taylor Arizona tradition. Basically the entire town gets together at 5am and creates their own parade. You follow the truck carrying the anvil around to different spots in the town and people are chosen to light it. The explosion is huge and the anvil launches about 6 feet in the air. (There is a video of it but it doesn't do it justice).

My favorite part of the trip was driving up....while everyone else slept...

I spy just isn't as fun when you play it by yourself.

...like i said, they light the anvil at 5am...

After the anvil we went back to my aunts house, took a LONG nap, and ate some indian fry bread before getting ready for the rodeo. The rodeo was great! I snapped some pics of the riders and thought some of them were cool enough to share. The fireworks after the rodeo were awesome! After that it was more games with my family and overall the trip was great. We had tons of fun and can't wait for next year to do it all over again!

Our New Niece

This past weekend Troy took a week off work so that we could have a little vacation. We got to go see our 6 day old niece, Hailey Brynn Sedig. We were there for 2 1/2 days and while we were there Troy snapped some newborn pics. We love her and she is so cute! Here are a few of our favorites.

Just some cold hard facts for you.

-troy and whitney moved into their apartment the first of May.
-it is now the middle of june.
-that is 1 1/2 months.
-in that time troy has been stung twice.
-two different times.
-once behind the ear and once on the cheek.
-troy and whitney investigated this matter.
-the pictures above are of what they found! in the backyard!!!!!
- these are probably the close relatives of the perpetrators who stung troy.
-these said perpetrators are now deceased!!!

(yes there are three of them and thats only what troy caught last night. their everywhere!!)

just found these pictures that i took for a project at school. My sister Rhianna was kind enough to be my guinea pig, and she let me transform her into a little 30's flapper, or at least try to. Here's the before and after (thanks Rhianna, sorry your before picture kind of looks like a mug shot!). It was a lot of fun!

um, quick update... Troy finished his first block of the nursing program (super exciting). We moved into a new apartment (nope still in Thatcher, no one get excited) and i still have about 3 more weeks of school and then ill finally get a summer break with my husband! Thats our life, without pictures.

Super Bowl XLIII

Well, it's been forever since our last post and a lot has happened since then, we got through finals, found out Troy was accepted into the nursing program (yay!), spent the holidays with the family in Wickenburg, and moved into a different house just in time to start the next semester. Troy has been working at Alltel here in Thatcher, and has been juggling class, work, and studying tons to keep up. Luckily for us, he won a break!  Through work, he won an all expense paid trip for two to Super Bowl XLIII!!!  It was amazing!  We flew to Orlando Florida checked into our awesome hotel and the next morning we went to Disney World.  They asked us how long we were married and we said for a little over a year.  They considered us newlyweds so they gave us pins that got us to the front of the line at almost every ride we went on.  Then the Super Bowl...  Sunday morning I found Troy awake, fully dressed and in his "Fitz" jersey before I ever rolled out of bed, he was pumped.  A shuttle took us to Raymond James stadium in Tampa and we hung out at the NFL experience before kickoff.  When we finally made it to our seats we were blown away!  they were on the club level toward the Cardinals end zone.  The game was awesome, it didn't end the way we wanted it too but it made for an experience that we will never forget. Here are just a few pictures from the trip...
