Horses, Horses, and More Horses!

Cousin Monica had a bunch of horses so a few of us decided they were going to ride them.

 You'll never guess who? Baby Marley and Gillian! 

Marley on her first horse ride with Uncle Tarren helping her along. She is so darn cute! 

Gillian was our other Horse rider and she hadn't been on a horse probably since she was in high school. It was a sight to see.  The process of getting herself up there was also quite hilarious, she had us all rolling on the ground laughing. 

Almost Up.....

Struggling to get herself righted....

Finally Mom and Baby on the Horse together! 

Gillian and Marley

He's locked and loaded ladies.... Cory referred to this as his "holster"!

 Cory became the unofficial carrier of everything baby,  he is actually rather good at it. He was often left carrying around the huge diaper bag or holding onto the always needed bottle.  

He is going to be such a great Daddy some day! 

Tractor Love

We had alot of fun on the Tractor.....

Aren't we cute! 

I decided to smother Cory..... somebody save him! 

My Love

Cousin Monica's Farm

While in Mesa, AZ we also visited some of my Mothers many cousins, so many in fact sometimes it's hard to keep track. My mom's cousin Monica lived on this big farm where we all went for her breakfast casserole and berry crepes. Plus we wanted to take a picture with the giant tractor. Because, well I haven't seen to many of those lying around town. So we took lots of pictures on the tractor and then Trey and Tarren decided to make a Cory sandwich. 

The Cory sandwich.... He liked it! 

The big tractor shot!

This is only a shot of some of the cousins that were there. This was the kid shot of everyone at Monica's. Lets just say we have a huge family! 

Aren't we cute. Just some sibling bonding time! 

Trees to Cactus

So our drive to Arizona was long and awfully boring however the scenery was very pretty in Flagstaff. However it was fun to watch the environment around us change from lots of snow and fir trees to big cactus. 

This was a tunnel we drove through in Flagstaff, I made Cory hold his breath through the whole think. He might have almost passed out. HaHa 

These were some of the pretty trees in Flagstaff, AZ. Really I have never seen anything so pretty. The pictures really don't do it justice. It was the nicest piece of highway that we have driven on. 

Then the Cactus in Mesa, AZ. Big difference and not as pretty! lol! 

Cory was a good sport. By the end of the trip I had taken so many pictures of Cory in the drive over that he probably was glad when the batteries ran out. Just one of many Cory driving shots!

Yeah for 10 hour road trips! 

Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day! 

So we spent our first Valentines Day together in the car and in a Motel 6. Sounds romantic right? Well not exactly but we made it work, I even was able to surprise Cory with a big Valentines Day basket of goodies (not including his presents). He had no idea and really they had been in the car the whole time. It was fun because he woke up in the motel and was like "where did all that come from!" It was fun and I got him good.  

This was our big basket of goodies.... including Sparkling Cider and lots of Chocolate! 

Cory got me some very special gifts, A willow tree called "the promise" and a plaque that said "all because two people fell in love. I gave Cory a sandwich maker (he has been complaining about ours being broken for months now) nose hair trimmer and some other secret items! wink wink!  It was awesome! 

Love You Cory! 

Great Grandma Davidson

We went to MESA, ARIZONA! I know surprise for all those who didn't know. Which might be our entire family back in Utah. My Great Grandma Vivan Davidson lives in an elderly home there and was recently stoped her treatment for Cancer. So our family decided to make the trip up there to see her. So Cory and I drove down from Utah and my mom and siblings drove up from California. We even got a five generation picture which is cool, cause not too many people get to do that. I hope that I will get one!

My Mom and Grandma Davidson

Gillian and Cory were having way too much fun!

This is our 5 generation shot.

Marley, Gillian, Jennifer, Vance and Grandma Davidson.

We took Grandma out to lunch on Valentines day. Hence Marley's super cute outfit. We went to Chili's Grandma's favorite spot. We had a great time with her out and about. It was nice to see her again.

We will miss her lots and hope to see her again soon!

ARIZONA WAS FUN!

Baby Blessing

Cory blessed Baby Marley and he did such a good job. It was kind of a big honor I think, that Gillian choose Cory to bless her child. I know that she had alot of awesome people to choose from and she choose her Uncle Cory. I know that Cory was a little nervous and I think he even called his Dad just to make sure that he was doing it all right. But he did a GREAT job, had us all in tears and I know that my little sis really appreciated it. We even joked that Cory would mess up her name and we would have to cal the baby Gertrude or something crazy like that, but he did it all perfect. There were no dropped babies and he got the name down right.

I am gratefull to have a husband that is worthy to have taken me to the temple and be able to perform these sacred ordanices. Now I know that he will do great when its our turn.

Love You!

The whole crew....

Marley has so many people that love her I think we were taking over the chapel just with our family members.

Me, Cory and Baby Marley
