The latest!!!

Ok so here is what has been happening! Riley left on his mission! That has seemed to be what everyone has focused on. And school... Tyler has finals coming up too! So he has been extra busy! Mackenzie's team took the 4A state championship.

Mackenzie's basketball team did great this year! They went completely undefeated! They won the Championship (which is something that every basketball player dreams about doing and only few get to actually experience it). She did great! It was so fun to watch (even though we almost had a heart attack during each game).

We will miss Riley so much! Maci even tried to go in his suitcase! It was really amazing how we have watched him grow into a young man... well... and ELDER! It's crazy that the little boy that used to put grasshoppers down my shirt is going out to Czech to teach those people the gospel! We are really proud of him and know that he will do great! The family has already received a few letters and he loves his companion so far, and is seeing some of his friends in the MTC!

Tyler's sister Maddi is having a little boy!!! We are so excited! Our first nephew! He is going to be so spoiled. She is due in June and is moving back to Utah next week. So it will be good to have them around (instead of clear out in Pennsylvania). We had a baby shower for her and it was loads of fun!

We have had weddings, weddings and more weddings! Chelsi and Jake got married FINALLY, and one of my best friends Laken got married (i was a bridesmaid). They got married on the same day actually!

My teammate from Snow went on a mission! So our team got together for her farewell!

Grandma Caldwell had a birthday! Happy birthday Nanna Shanna!

Here are some random picts from the last few months!

Riley's Mission Call (and stuff)

My little brother Riley got his mission call recently to the CZECH REBUBLIC- speaking the Czech language! So crazy!!! For those of you that don't know where that is... don't worry. Neither did we! Ha it's by Austria, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia. That area. Central Europe.

We are so proud of him. I just can't believe how much he has grown up and matured these last couple years. We know that he is ready to go on a mission and he is going to be a great missionary! After he read his call and was talking to everyone about it, you could see the excitement on his face. He talked to a boy in their ward who just got back from the exact same mission, and of course he said it was the best mission ever!

I just don't know how we are going to lose our brother for two whole years, but know that they will be such a great experience for him and that he will learn a lot!

So what else has been going on? We have been busy the last couple weeks. We finally moved into the house in Sugarhouse! We love it! It's a blast to be out of an apartment and have our own room!!! Once things get more settled i will take some pictures of it! I'm still busy with work and Tyler is still busy with school!!! But we are doing good!

We went to the Jazz and Cavs game with Braden and Mandi Bagley (and family). It was super fun! I bought a lucky green Daron Williams Jazz shirt. Why is it lucky??? Well because that was the game that Gaines (the jazz player who signed for 10 days) hit a last second shot for the win! Best game ever!!!

My best friend Danielle came and stayed with us a few weekends ago! We were super excited because she is going to live with us this summer!!! It was so good to finally see her! We went to the Jazz game with her and my buddy from Snow Sean! We had fun!!! Here are some pictures!

Our Christmas/New Year's Break

Our Holiday break was great! We had Christmas in Springville this year. So we went down to Richfield before Christmas to spend time with Maddi and Josh (since they were in town) and Tyler's parents. We also saw Tyler's friend Callen and his wife. They just had a new baby! So cute! It was good to see them! In Springville we celebrated my little sister Abby's birthday (Christmas Eve) and did the Traditional stuff. Here are some picts!

For New Year's we had my best friends Danielle and Laken come to our place (Danielle brought and boy and Laken brought her fiance). We had good food, we played games and went downtown for the ball drop at midnight. Then they had fireworks shooting off the roof of one of the buildings. It was a really fun night!

I'll have to post more pictures later because our card reader just stopped working!!!

And believe me... we have plenty more pictures :)

Rest of Halloween/Thanksgiving

First we will finish off Halloween! We went to Mike and Bree Bory's house for a Halloween party. It was so much fun! It was fun to get to know them better, and to get all dressed up! We just kinda winged it. Tyler was obviously a vampire and i just put on everything that i could find. The end product- we decided- was RAMBO! ha ha Thanks for inviting us Mike and Bree!!!

Now Thanksgiving....

We went down to St. George to be with some of Tyler's family. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner... did some midnight shopping (pre black friday sales), and had a good time being with family and friends. They had a "thankful tree" hung up, and everybody had to write on a leaf something that they were thankful for and hang it on the tree. I wrote mine first and waited to see what Tyler would put. It was so cute! He put me and i put him! I really am thankful every day for Tyler. I'm so glad i get to be with him forever! We are also thankful for everything we have. We have been so blessed this last year and a half since we have been married. We have great families, great friends, great church callings, and great opportunities.

On Friday we went on a fun bike ride (because it was mostly down hill :)) j/k. Then we went to the movie "Old Dogs" with everyone. It was such a funny movie. Definitely a cute family film for those of you that haven't been to see it yet! We went to Iggy's Sports Grill that night for dinner and had some awesome food! Tyler ate so much! ha ha Everyone was amazed!

The next day was the BYU vs. Utah rival game. So we woke up and made breakfast for everyone. All weekend long i was teasing Tyler's hard care Utah loving uncle about how BYU was going to kill them. So we but blue coloring in the waffles. Right when we were about to do it to the eggs too, his uncle stopped me and made us to the eggs red. It was a fun breakfast! (and luckily BYU did win... which reminds me... i need to call uncle Scott to rub it in ha ha)
