Family Visits from Peru

In February my aunt, uncle and cousins that I haven't seen in almost 10 years came out to visit. They were only here for a few days as they were also spending time in Florida, California, and Nevada so the time we spent together was limited, but we had fun.


My aunt and uncle don't speak a lick of English (well...maybe a few things here and there) so it was pretty interesting to watch Kevin interact with them.. (he was so nervous). I think he may have a little Spanish gene hidden somewhere in that Asay blood because he was able to understand quite a bit. I think it also helps that he has taken an interest in learning also that they all speak with their hands. :) By the time we go to Peru and visit, he'll be a Spanish-speaking machine.




Lynnette, Kaleb, Giacomo, Carlogino, Kevin and I went up to Solitude one day and spent the day skiing and boarding. It was the first time that my cousins or Kaleb had ever been so it was a day full of falling and new experiences for everyone. They did awesome!!

Anniversary Gift

For our two year anniversary Kevin decided to add a band to my wedding ring. We've talked about it ever since we were first looking at engagement rings.

[Weird fact about me - it bothers me when things are not symmetrical or crooked or don't line up correctly. It's weird, I know, but it's one of my pet peeves.]





I absolutely L O V E it. I think it makes my ring look complete and I love that Kevin is so perceptive and remembers little things I say I like even if just in passing. It's a rare thing to find a man who always makes it a point to make sure that I feel special and find gifts he knows that I will love. It also helps that he's as big of a sucker as I am for jewelry and feels it's a good investment. Works for me. :)

Julie's Birthday

Skip ahead to January...we decided to throw Julie a surprise birthday party at the Eagles. We got Daddy-o in on the plan so he could make sure to get the birthday girl there at the scheduled time. (I love this picture of them. They look so cute. :) )




Needless to say, Julie wasn't expecting it. I think it's safe to say she was surprised...enough to burst into tears.



















This picture is so funny. There really weren't that many candles on the cake, but the camera managed to catch a big puff of smoke when she blew them all out.... We all LOL'd.
