August 14th 2007
Welcome to our blog! Dave and I were married August 14th 2007 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. I can't speak for Dave, but I love being married! ~I am pretty sure he does too. :) It is so great to have someone to share my life with. We have so much fun together. We love traveling and spending time with our family and friends. Here is a little bit more about us...
Dave served a 2 year religious mission in the Dominican Republic. He then graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in business finance while also completing his pre-medical requirements. He attended Creighton University school of medicine. He started in the fall of 2009. He is now a resident in dermatology and internal medicine at University of Wisconsin hospitals.
I graduated from the University of Utah in Elementary Education. I taught 2nd grade at Bancroft Elementary. Bancroft is a great school and I loved working with everyone there. When Cole was born I decided to stay at home with him. I am loving every minute of my time with him.
We have made so many great friends in Omaha and in Madison. But we still love and miss our family and friends in Utah! We hope this blog will help them feel connected to us, even if we aren't around as much as we'd like to be. Enjoy!

Lake Powell














Over the 9th-13th Dave and I went to Lake Powell with my family. It was so much fun!! Cece and Jeff and their kids even came. It was a great trip.
Thanks for taking us! :)

We had so much fun in the sun. Lake Powell is so beautiful we boated; wake boarded, swam and camped.

The weather was so perfect, and it wasn't very crowded. The water was great too.
Ryan is better at wakeboarding than I am now... He jumps much better than I do. Dave still wins though! We got some pretty good pictures of them jumping.
Hailey, Austin and Kaden are so funny. They say the cutest things. Hailey is growing up so fast. She is really starting to be fun to talk to, and she talks to more of us than just Mariah now! LOL. She loves Mariah. She is such a sweet and smart little girl. She and Austin were riding in the tube behind the boat, going about 5mph, and I guess the tube was a little flat because she leaned forward and water started coming in the front.
Cece and Jeff were a little worried letting them ride alone so we were all prepared to jump out if anything went wrong. Well Austin fell out so Dave goes jumping of the side and I dove off the back. I got to Austin and Dave and I told him good job. He thought it was pretty cool after Dave encouraged him. It was really hilarious that Hailey dumped him out!

Kaden is a little rascal, he's two! Every time you turn your back he runs away and usually into the road!! Ha ha. He is a handful. He snuck away one time and colored Lexie's car with crayon. It was pretty funny. He is trying to live up to the "terrible two's" expression. He is so cute though. You can never stay mad at him because he has the best innocent sweet face ever!

Austin always says the funniest things. When we were taking down camp he came and asked me for a treat. I told him I wasn't sure where they were. A little later I found them so I gave them all a licorice. He took one for himself and one for Dave. When he found Dave he hid them behind his back and said, "Dave guess what Dahlia found?"... "Treats! I brought one for you."
He gave Dave one and then later he told Dave that he was happy and he asked Dave if he was happy. He said yes. He told Dave that he was glad he’s happy. How cute. He is so funny. I wish I could remember all the funny things he said on the trip.
