June has come and gone

I cannot believe June is almost over! I also cannot believe that the 4th of July is this weekend. I swear summer just began this week... Oh wait it did. June was a fun month full of lots of family. For my birthday i spent the day with Kevin. We went to idaho falls and did some shopping and some walking and some eating. I tried to get a few pictures before my camera died. That night we went to the rodeo with all the family. I think the mutton busting was the best part. I tried to convince some of my nieces to do it, but they all declined. Sunday we celebrated my birthday with my family. And OF COURSE Kevin had to follow the Berg tradition and smash my face in the cake.


















































































The following weekend we went to Utah for the Berg Family reunion. We played lots of volleyball (i was sore for days) and some games. It was a lot of fun to meet some more of Kevins family. However i still don't think i have them all down. After the reunion me and Kevin headed to Provo where we spent the night eating pasta and walking around. We got to visit the Provo Temple and the MTC (I had never seen either). Sunday we made a quick stop at his cousin Matt's apartment and headed home.













































Sunday Annalee left for Germany :( It was not easy to let them go... It has only been one day and i miss them like crazy. But before they left we did some Family pictures. Although it will outdated in like six months again. Dang people having babies :) Anyways my aunt Krista took them and managed to get a few good ones between the tears. But even if they are crying you have to admit i have the cutest nieces and nephews!

OREGON!!

Over Memorial Day weekend we had the opportunity to go to Grants Pass for an open house. My parents came and Carly. The drive was not bad, some movies, some books on tapes, and lots of sleeping. Along the way we stopped at Crater lake. It was beautiful, and fun to see my parents reminisce their honeymoon 34 years later (they went to crater lake on their honeymoon). The weather was wonderful and we had a great sunny day and was able to attend a parade and boat nic in Grants Pass. The open house was wonderful! Pat put a lot of work into it and it turned out so good and was a lot of fun. It was fun to see all the in-law family since i have not really had an opportunity to spend time with them. I am looking forward to this summer when we get to go back out west to Grants Pass and spend more time. I am also looking forward to my birthday in 2 days... I am not counting or anything :) I think Kevin is pretty excited for my birthday just so I will quit bringing it up.

I got some pictures at Crater Lake but the actual open house i slacked at taking pictures. My mom took some so i will have to steal some and will post them when i get them.

Sleep Talking :)

As you all have probably realized due to the lack of posting school has taken over our lives. However we still have tried to find some time for some fun. Most of the fun is in our sleep. Kevin lied to me when we got married and said he slept in the same place and did not move. I beg to differ that kid rolls all over on top, and then roles back stealing all the covers, all while singing me a pretty song. However Kevin is not the only one who likes to move and talk in his sleep. A couple weeks ago I had a lot of teaching assignments in my classes and had been preparing for them. At about 2:30 in the morning (according to Kevin) I got out of bed stood at the end of the bed and welcomed the kids to class. "I would like to welcome you all to class today". I woke up Kevin and he then praised me "Good job" for my great introduction. This woke me up and I realized what I had just done. Embarrassed I hurried and laid back down pretending to still be asleep. We sure got a kick out of it the next few days.

My Boo

So a few weeks ago my niece Rylee took a fall off a bunk bed, which left her with a broken elbow. This was sunday and monday morning she went into surgery to have it placed. However monday was also my niece Brooklyn's (Boo as i call her) second grade talent show. Her mother had to go to the hospital with Rylee so we all jumped in and volunteered to go to the talent show. She definetly had the biggest audience. My mom, dad, Charm, and I all went to watch her sing God Bless America and America the beautiful. She did wonderful! She has an amazing voice that often brings me to tears. Luckily i held it together through the talent show. I got a few pictures of her... I wish i would have recorded it but Charm did that. I will have to get it from her so i can brag to everyone that i know the next American Idol.

Also my nieces came to visit the other day, in which i happened to be doing laundry. They enjoyed dressing up in me and Kevins clothes. I thought they looked really cute so enjoy! Nikole did not know what to think about the padding in my swimming suit :)

Honeymoon

Me and Kevin... (I guess i am an english major and should say that properly)... Kevin and I finally got to go on our honeymoon. After the wedding we were blessed to borrow a cabin for the weekend, but Kevin had to be back at school monday so it was short and sweet. But this time it was nice and long. We flew to Miami on wednesday and stayed the night and boarded our cruise the next day. It was the carnival destiny boat and was really nice. The next day the ship docked at Key West where me and Kevin just walked around enjoyed the sunshine, toured the light house, and ate some famous Key lime pie. The next day we spent in Cozumel Mexico. We were able to go snorkeling and do a little shopping before it started clouding up and we headed back on board. Sunday was a day at sea where we just relaxed and read and enjoyed the shows and games the cruise had to offer. Monday however was a really long day. We got off the ship at 8 and went on another exursion to the Everglades in Miami. We road in an airboat and got to see lots and lots of alligators. Alligators and snakes have always been one of my greatest fears... Through the years i have grown out of the snake thing but have had horrible dreams of alligator attacks. But i was able to face my fear and go hang out with the gators. I even got brave and got pretty close to the big ones and held a little one. Anyways our flight did not leave til 7 that night so it made for a long day at the airport and a late night getting home. We stayed the night at Kevins Grandmas in Utah. Thank goodness because there was no way either of us could drive home that night. Anyways tuesday we were supposed to start school but we chose to sleep in and recuperate from all the adventures. It was a lot of fun and really nice to spend some quality time with my husband, who during school i seem to never see. 7 days together straight and i was still not sick of him. I think that is a good sign considering i have to spend eternity with him... I mean i get the pleasure of spending eternity with him :)

Wedding pictures

So i got my wedding pictures :) I am so excited to share a few of them, so enjoy!

Happy Easter

Well, I was hoping my next post would be wedding pictures... but i still have not got them :( but hopefully soon because i am getting really anxious to see them. Anyways Kevin and I have had some busy weeks preparing and taking finals. I finished up today (give me a whoot whoot) and now i don't know what to do with my spare time. Kevin on the other hand still has two more to go so is spending any spare minute he has studying. It will be nice to have a relaxing weekend though with no homework! In addition to all the homework last week was spring break for my nieces so we had a slumber party. In two shifts of course. The first night my nieces Abbi (5) Loryn (3), and Rylee (3) came, we ate lots of candy, lots of cookies and watched lots of movies. It was lots of fun. Then the next shift consisted of Brooklyn (8) Makenzie (6) and Brinley (5) once again we ate lots of candy, but this time we went to a movie so we ate lots of popcorn as well. It was lots of fun, but great birth control :)

Saturday we woke up early so that we could get the girls ready for the Easter Egg hunt only to find out it was cancelled due to the blizzard we had. This continued on to sunday but the blizzard did not stop us from traveling to Rigby for a yummy Easter dinner with the family. Later that night i made Kevin color eggs with me. He says he hasn't colored eggs since he was little. CRAZY, i couldn't believe it. Anyways like a man he complained through the whole thing. But i could tell he really enjoyed it, just didn't want to admit it. Well the snow is finally melting just in time for me and Kevin to head off on our Cruise next week. And i have to say It's about time we get a honeymoon :)









Go Ducks! I tried to get him to smile but he said this was his tough football face... oh BOYS!! :)
