An occasion worth celebrating.

This month, Boyd has been cancer free for 6 years. Congratulations Boyd, I love you!


Take that cancer.

Spring Break/Easter

For Spring break, Boyd and I headed to San Diego for a couple days. We had so much fun visiting with family and friends and visiting all our old favorite spots. One afternoon, we went to the newly renovated Mormon Battalion with my family. If you haven't been yet, I highly suggest that you do! It was awesome.

They Had a panning for gold station at the battalion.



My sweet niece Darcy found Gold!

My darling niece, Kayla, was finding "black Gold." Aka: pebbles. Here is my dad, Kayla, darcy, and my Brother Tom.

Easter! We had a wonderful and relaxing Easter. On Saturday, we dyed Easter eggs and watched conference. Boyd is super talented when it comes to Easter egg Dying.
Boyd's First Egg. Mine is the lame pink one.

On Easter Sunday we had so many fun visitors. Our friends, Ty and Lindsey, came over to watch conference and have dinner. Instead of making the tradition Easter Ham, We made tasty quesadillas and had a Mexican feast!
My brother and his family also stopped in for a visit. They happen to be passing through our little town and were able to stop in for a quick hello. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends that we see so often. Love you Paces, hope to see you soon!

What a beautiful time of year!

Valentines Day

For Valentines weekend, Boyd and I went to Las Vegas with some friends. Because Vegas is just kitty corner to our little town, it is a fun and easy place to vacation. Boyd got a killer deal on a room in the Trump Towers; so we drove down Saturday morning and stayed until Sunday afternoon. We spent the weekend shopping, eating, hanging out with good friends, all in all just having a good time. Here are some pictures from the grand event!

First picture of the trip, driving to Vegas!


Our Hotel..

We ate at the Cheesecake Factory in Caesars Palace, absolutely divine! I love red velvet cheesecake.

The hotel our friends were staying at had a bowling alley with 70 lanes! It was pretty cool, plus I got my highest score ever, 125. As you can see in this picture, we made friends with the people in the lane next to us. Oh Derome, you're a silly man.


Ty and Lindsey.


Boyd in front of these twisters at a really neat mall.


A group Photo! Its really hard to do the old "arm stretch" photo with four of you, But we managed.

It was a wonderful Valentines day/vacation. Cant wait till the next one!

Random but Fun

This post is somewhat random, and contains a couple different events. First thing is first, my trip to San Diego. Needless to say, it was a blasty blast. I was able to play in my San Diego State alumni water polo game, relax, shop, and hang out with a lot of friends and family. Unfortunately, I didn't take very many pictures of my trip, but here are the few that I have.

My mom and Me making Valentine Cookies...


I was able to hang out with some really great friends...( sorry Holly, I know you didn't want me to post this picture, but I just love it!)




Now for the random pictures. This picture is from New Years Eve. My parents came up to St. George and brought in the New Year with Boyd and Me. We had a lot of fun walking around the city and playing all sorts of games. We cant wait for you guys to come back and visit us again!


I stumbled across this little picture of Boyd. He doesn't have very many baby pictures, three to be exact. But they could possibly be my three favorite pictures ever. Isn't he so cute!


Well that is the end of my random post, thanks for enduring!

Homeward Bound to San Diego

I love St. George and the life that Boyd and I have built here; but, there is something about San Diego that is always calling my name. So... I'm giving into my soul's desire and headed home for a couple days. A much needed vacation.

"Ill never be able to shake the sand from my flip flops, or the ocean from my soul"

Mission Call

As some of you know, Boyd's little sister ( Kara) lives with us. She is only a year younger than I, and we have been the best of friends since the day we met. She is a lovely woman and she has always had the dream to go on an LDS mission. A couple weeks ago, Kara turned in her papers. We have been anxiously waiting for her call to come. This last Thursday a big envelope addressed to "Sister Bowers" arrived in our mail box! we were so excited..

I am so grateful for Kara and for her wonderful spirit that has filled our home. She is such an example to me and a wonderful support system. While I'm terribly sad to have her go for a year in a half, I know that the people of Uruguay are going to be so blessed to have her there! I admire her for her dedication and Strength. I love you Kara and I know you will do great things.

Kara will be leaving April 1, and will be attending the Argentina MTC to learn Spanish.

Boyds Birthday

Boyd turned 25 yesterday! He is such a great husband and friend, and I really wanted to get him something that he would like. So, a couple weeks ago I decided to get him Jazz tickets for the game on his birthday because he LOVES the Utah Jazz. Just so happens I was able to get 4 tickets for the sixth row! Boyd, me and his two friends from home had a wonderful time cheering on the Jazz to a victory against the pistons, in over time! It was so exciting to actually see the players that close and hear everything they were saying. I'm afraid we will never be able to sit in the nose bleed sections again after experiencing the greatness of close seating. I love you Boyd and I'm so glad you were born.

Boyd and Steve
