Celebrity Look-alike

Halloween!!

This year was a really fun Halloween. Jeff, Rylee and I all wore costumes. Rylee wanted us to be a family of vampires which might have do with my Twilight obsession! We went trick or treating with my mom, Devery, Danny and Brynnly. It was a lot of fun!

Jeff and I

Jeff and I have now been married for 5 years!!! Sometimes it feels like 21 but we made it. I just wanted to say that I love him more than anything in the world and I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with him. We have had some great fights and even greater love moments but in the end we love each other more than anyone within a 5 mile radius can stand (if you know us you know what I am talking about). So here are some pictures of happy times.

Halloween Bash

Okay so I had a blast at my Halloween party! Devery was the biggest help ever and without her it would not be great. Here are some great pictures. Jason surprised everyone by coming home on leave from Kuwait. Enjoy!!

Rylee and I Making Cookies!

Rylee and I decided to make Halloween cookies! It was a lot of fun but we got messy (which is the best part)

Womens self defence class

My mom did a self defence class for Jeff's unit it was really fun to beat on the boys :)

Bear Lake

We had the funnest time at bear lake this year. Rylee even got to wake board!

Rylee's first day of 1st grade!

Well I cant believe that my little girl is already in 1st grade. It makes me feel really old. But isn't she beautiful!

The Days of 47 parade

We went to the Days of 47 Parade with Jeff parents. There were some cool floats but Jeff's favorite was the jets that flew over.

Rylee's first time shooting

Rylee shot a 9mm and AR15 for the first time with Jeff. Watch the video and she what she thought!!

The Zoo!

We went to the zoo on military day and had a blast despite the heat. I took tonz of pictures but I only ended up in one go figure. Jeff's cousin Mathew works there with the birds of pray and we have a really cool picture so check it out!

Rylee's 1st tooth!

So Nana finally got Rylee to let her pull out her tooth and it came right out!

Why Hello!

Okay so a big thank you to my sister Devery who held my hand through this blog process! Well, a lot of things have happened this year. Rylee is starting 1st grade and I don't know how to feel about that. Jeff and I are still married almost 5 years now! Jeff is still in the Army and we are waiting to go to flight school so if you talk to him tell him to get his paper work done. Other than that we are just happy and we cant wait for our trip to Bear Lake with my family it will be so fun. Love you all and talk to you soon!
Love,
The Howards
