Yay for babies!!




Our world over here is a little centered on baby girl lately. Our last baby shower was Saturday and it was so much fun!! An extra special thank you to Aunt Meygen, Aunt Robyn and grandma Lynnette!



Everyone got to pick a onesie and iron on fabric to create their own design. 


So cute! Handmade by Aunt Robyn, there were so many cute little projects she hand made that really made this day so special.

Everyone hard at work to make their onesies!



Some of the final projects...


So I got to pick my favorite one and the person who made it received a prize. They really were ALL so cute, but I had to pick a favorite. I made sure I didn't look at what anyone was making so I could remain impartial in the decision. This is the one I picked. My mom was the creator of this cute little giraffe, she was so excited I picked hers!!

Could they be any cuter?? They had so much fun at the shower, just ran around, played on the swing set and had the best afternoon ever!

We were given a ton of clothes and blankets for baby girl, she is going to be a hip little baby! It was so fun to spend time with family and friends and celebrate the wonderful new life who will be here soon.

We're back!

Boy oh boy it has been quite awhile since the last post. We have some fun new things to write about and PROMISED Cory and Meg that we would post more often since we live a kajillion miles away.

Super quick update (followed by more consistent posting):
1. We moved! ....again.... to a cute two bedroom condo in south Logan. Much more space and fully equipped with a dishwasher (yay!!), larger bedrooms, fake tile in the kitchen, and a garage! It's all about the small things! We will post some pics next week.

2. Kyle has had a BIG year. Wife bragging rights for a moment, he was accepted into the Huntsman Scholar program up here at USU where he will have an intense learning semester followed by a sweet studying abroad opportunity for three weeks in Switzerland.
He is the new president of an awesome entrepreneurial club on campus where he gets to meet tons of successful entrepreneurs and put his amazing leadership qualities to good use.
He also has started a new business that is going really well, I wish I understood more about it so I could elaborate, but I don't. So we can just stick to great business idea and a great man.

3. Our baby girl is almost here! She is due June 19th and we honestly cannot be more excited! We have so much fun feeling her kicks and hiccups and reading her "Green Eggs and Ham" every night.




We have not been super good about taking pics, but here is one at 28 weeks. We are 33 now! I will put up another one this week.

Part 2 of Month 1

List of interesting things that have happened during Month 1.


1.  Came home from honeymoon to an apartment void of all heat.  Hot water, oven, stove, hot air, nothin.
      2 days later our heat was turned on.  Hooray.  However later on that same day...
2.  Our electricity got turned off!  Woohooo! 
     That one only took them a day to turn back on. 
3.  Getting our neighbors to agree to share internet with us.
      Even though we wanted to pay half their bill it still took 3 weeks 5 visits and 8 pumpkin chocolate chip      cookies to persuade them.  We felt like bill collectors a little bit.
4.  Learned that waking up is near impossible when you're so cozy cuddling with the one you love.  This has   lead to Kyle getting to his micro-economics class twice so far this semester and Danielle getting to her stats class three times so far.  We both agree that the bed has claws and refuses to let us escape from its grasps.
5.  I married a felon!  We went to court because Mr Ivins hadn't paid a ticket since the day he got pulled over on the day he was to propose to Mrs. Danielley.  There he pleaded guilty and insanity because he got engaged that day and was a newlywed.  The judge was quite amused and gave us a pretty good deal.  The entire court was laughing at Mr and Mrs Ivins, but it was well worth it.
6.  Decorated our apartment.  After organizing all of our wonderful wedding gifts (many thanks by the way) we took a full day to decorate our situate our apartment.  Which led to two cranky newlyweds but one busy house.  However said less is more was wrong.  Our walls our covered from top to bottom, side to side, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Chapter 1. Month 1. Most which took part in Month 1. Of year 11

Dear World,
    As of yesterday, it has officially been a whole month since the day we were marriaged.  This is neat.  We originally intended to start our blog in our first week, but it seems we are a pair of procrastinators.  Gross. 
    What an insane month its been though.  First off we got married.  WOOHOO!

We were so grateful for everyone who could make it.  And they all looked so darn good.  Especially this guy
And yes, he's single. 

This Part is for my mother.  It is evidence that the requiring all groomsmen to have mustaches was a good idea....



I rest my case.


These are just some of our favorite pictures of the night.  It was so much fun.  Enjoy.








 

Hurrah for Parentals!

 





We ate cake

 

And then, we danced!







And then all danced!













 Twas then time to go....
And wo unto those who destroyed the polar bear...
For vengeance will be had...



 




 And that was that.

Then we spent a heavenly 7 days on our honeymoon.  The first two days we spent in SLC just talking and hanging out and stuff.  And then we made the 10 hour drive to Kellog freakin Idaho!  Little did we know that Kellogg is so far north its basically Canadia, and most of the drive there is through Montana.  We didn't have actual directions so we just called my dad, Mr. Mark Ivins, every few hours and he guided us on our way.  He loved that part.  There we rode the flowrider, saw the sights, swam, ate, relaxed and were amazed at how small Kellogg was yet how cool the Silver Mountain Resort was.



 





Then it was time to head to our new home of Logantown

Home Sweet Home.
