Hi Ari

Hello Ari Nicole Judd.

I wanted to put up a few pictures I took while in Arizona. They are pretty much all of Ari's 80s "Skape night" but that is because she hurt her lip today.

Ari and Ben

These are some great poses...

Last but not least... I had to put a picture of Devynn in. I have a ton of her... She is a good picture taker.

Ok, I'm done.

Ari, I hope your lip is feeling better. Come visit me in Idaho.

Arizona

Ben and I decided to take a trip down to Arizona for the break between semesters. We have had quite the adventures. Here are some pictures taken during a family photo shoot. We are like models.

This is how Ben transports me.

OH cute... we have no shoes on

Ben was taking Ari to see the bunnies.

OK... my fingers don't feel like typing so I am pretty much done.
A final update: I am doing pretty good. Surgery went very well... I know have a new gorgeous nose... haha jk

Missions and Marriages... oh what joy

Wow... Good times. A friend of mine, Beckah, just got her mission call to Provo, Utah. I am sure not many people know where that is... well it is somewhere between Idaho and Arizona. We were in the same stake through high school and she came up to school in Idaho the same time I did.... good times.


More News: My friend Christine is getting married. YIPPEE. We have been friends since pre-preschool. That's right.

Anyways here are some pics of the three of us this last week...

This pic we were pretending to be overly happy

Sick but funny
I don't know?
My new hair cut...
again... hair is chopped.

I am a little undecided on the hair cut... I have seen long hair around campus and I want it back but it really isn't that bad. I have mostly good feedback.

Christine's tribute

Christine (AKA Chizz, Chizzle, Crisco, Tardi, Christiner the wiener, Christiney the wieney, Ga-Ga or Gi Gi... the list goes on) has been my friend since the wee beginnings. We used to make up stories about how our great great great grandparents met and that was the beginning of our friendship.

We have made many... MANY videos that really show our personalities. Some of the most memorable videos are the "book reviews." At sleep overs we used to draw on eachother feet.

Two years ago after a knee surgery I called Chizz very late at night to come keep me company and she came and read too me. I think I was completely out of it but oh well.

This is probably a favorite picture

This is at my baptism

Our trip to Hawaii

Dolls... oh cute

Christine was kind enough to be my bridesmaid... good times.

Congrats to Christine and Ricardo. Welcome to the club.

Ok I have to take a test... wish me luck.

Wowzers... it's been a while

Hello everyone.
Life has been a little bit crazy.The last two weekends have been a lot of fun. The first weekend we spend in Island Park with the Greene side and the next weekend we went to Frannie to hang out with the Roberts side.

Adventures in Frannie

Ben had to show us his tree climbing skills. It was a lot of fun. He is doing is "spidey" pose here.

Ben worked on some trees... this one is in Grandma and Grandpa Roberts' yard.
Russell wanted to give it a try.
so did i... I decided to try the spidey pose.
Mom also got into the tree climbing action.
We went through the Billings Temple.

This a great pictures of us painting Easter eggs.
Grandpa Roberts took us exploring through a bunch of old stuff. We found a tin full of pipes. Ben wanted to model one of them.
We also explored the cellar.
We had a lot of fun in Frannie. Ben, Russel, and I went to see the movie "Horton hears a Who" it was interesting. I also learned how to make some delicious bread. It was a great weekend.

Adventures in Island Park

Dev has a chocolate chip on her forehead... I put it there.

The girls are so cute.
I love this pictures of Ari... she is looking at something because Dallin is looking at it too.
Papa and Dev taking a nap
Dev was quite the cutie.

This is a few weeks ago at the cabin... we made an awesome snow fort.

This is me hard at work.
Dallin and Ben... they look cute
Ben disappeared for a while and when we found him he was making a creation on the roof.
it ended up being Angel Moroni

WOW this had a lot of pictures. I hope everyone enjoyed this enjoyable update.

I got TAGGED

Ok, I give in Britt... I'll do this. I got tagged to do this silly post. I think it will be interesting... well here goes...
How did you meet your spouse?I am not going to lie... this is kind of a loaded question. I'll give the short version. Ben and I had a mutual friend and I was on an intramural football team with her and she had asked Ben to be the coach. So he was my football coach. First time I saw him, he was wearing jeans, a white t-shirt, and a leather jacket. I thought he was cute. I was wearing a huge fur jacket (dress up clothes) over my "very attractive" football outfit. Pretty romantic huh?

Where did you go on your first date?We ate at "The Galley"... the school cafeteria. Then we went rollerskating. It was a Monday night and we saw my bishop and he asked why I wasn't at FHE. It was a blast.

How long have you been together?We have been married for a little over a year and dated for a year so about two years... ish.

Who eats more?Generally, Ben does. I pretty much ate triple what he ate today at the galley.

Who said I love you first?Ben did. It was actually over the phone because we were apart for 4 months and he just couldn't wait. I was taken a little off gaurd so I replied with, "I miss you too" somehow he thought I had told him that I loved him back (I had just had surgery and mumbled a lot). This when on for a little while and then a few weeks later I told him I loved him and then I told him that that was my first time saying so... it was funny.

Who is taller? He is.

Who sings better? He does. He always laughs at me because I sing the wrong words.

Who is smarter? Mostly he is, but it really depends what subject.

Who does the laundry and the dishes? Ben does... sometimes I do. He likes to clean... I am getting better.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. It's closer to the door. Ben sleeps against the wall.

Who pays the bills? Ben does the working to pay the bills. Generally he does.

Who mows the lawn? What lawn? If we had a lawn I would mow it because I like it.

Who cooks dinner? We both do.

Who drives when you are together? He does.

Who is more stubborn? He is... I let him think he is right because I don't care... as long as I know I am right then all is good.

Who is the first to admit when they're wrong? I am never wrong... but I will admit I am wrong (when I am not) to make Ben think he is right.

Whose parents do you see the most? Probably my parents beecause they come up to the cabin at least once a month.

Who kissed who first? This is kind of a loaded question. Short version: he kissed me first.

Who proposed? My dad... haha just kidding. My dad announced the obvious. Weird story. We already had the ring. After Ben asked Dad permission they both walked out and there were like 20 people waiting to see what happened... funny.

Who is more sensitive? I am... but Ben can be. You should see him when we watched "A Walk to Remember." By the way Britt, I think Nate is more sensitive... I heard about "The Notebook"

Who has more friends? I have no idea.

Who has more siblings? Ben does... 4 brothers and 1 sister. I only have 3 brothers and 1 sister.

Who wears the pants in the family? It's me, It's me. Just kidding... We are kind of like "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" because we trade off.

Life with Ben is FABULOUS. I feel weird getting all sentimental on my blog (it just isn't the place) so I am not really going to. Ben is great and I love him... that is why I married him. He is not only the apple of my eye, but he is also the milk in my cereal, and the tootsie in my tootsie roll. I couldn't live without him.

I am tagging Paula, Linds, Aleasha, Shantay, and Keri. I am not a fan of "being tagged" but I figure if I should suffer... so should all of you.

A cooler post with cooler pics should be coming soon... maybe.
