Da Saints!!!

So this year for the Superbowl we had to go all out. Mara's FAVORITE football player was in the SUPERBOWL!!!

Drew Brees!

( "Who Dat? Drew Brees!")

I was told to bring a dessert for the party that we went to..... Mara decided that we should make cookies, and not just regular sugar cookies but Superbowl cookies.

Footballs

the horseshoes for the Colts and Fleur D'lei for the Saints

and some yummy Chocolate Chip cookies.

we were very excited about the turnout of the game, Mara was thrilled to say the least.

so this past Saturday, Jonah, Mara, Jackson and I went out to 5 mile to scout out a new campsite. We decided to take along the four wheeler and Mara's dirt bike. Mara was doing pretty good then all of the sudden she started down a hill and instead of just stopping or jumping off the bike, she just screamed and crashed. face first!!!

the result was this........

a broken nose

poor baby:( needless to say she did not want to get back on the dirt bike after that.

she did go on the four wheeler with Jonah. She ended up driving him around

How it came to be!!!!!

Jonah and I met in 1997 junior year math class at Jordan High School :) We dated senior year, then after we graduated we were "friends" for the next two years. In 2000, we started our courtship again, July 14, 2001 we were married.
