Mom and Doyle came over for Thanksgiving and we helped mom frost her famous sugar cookies. They were really good!

Allan and I LOVE our little puppy Cuni.

The Shells...

All I have to say is if you find a shell in the ocean and there is something living inside it, don't take it home. We thought it was a crab and that it would just crawl out and go back into the ocean, but as you can tell from the pictures, it was not a crab.

St. Maarten

St. Thomas

The Bahamas

Our Cruise

We went on our first cruise in September and it was awesome!

Miami

Allan and I went to Miami where we left for our cruise and spent some time with Brent, Allan's brother. He took us to PF Chang's and to Southbeach. It was really fun.

It's been a busy summer...

Then, on August 25th, it was our first anniversary and my 26th birthday. We went to Utah and stayed with my sister, melissa and her family, Kwan, Isabella, Daisy, and Annie. We stayed in the Anniversary Inn for a night too. Allan got me a rolling pin, a George Foreman grill, a golf hat, tennis balls, a duffle bag, and a 5 month old Shih Tzu (a puppy). We named him Cuni. His hair is really long in this picture but we got him groomed and he looks so cute. Allan also made me a cake. It was a great birthday!

Then, August 19th, it was Allan's 28th birthday! I gave him a John Beck Miami Dolphins jersey which he will be wearing for every BYU game. I also got him the Roger Federrer tennis racket and some other things. I made him breakfast and also made him ribs for dinner (his favorite). Hunter, our little nephew helped him blow out his candle.

It's been a busy summer...

Next, we went to Twin Falls and the open house for the Twin Falls Temple. We had a very experienced tour guide, Allan's Mom (She has been to the open house a lot!). We also went golfing with Mom and Doyle. It was a lot of fun and the temple was beautiful!
