Taco tuesday crew!

Lately we have been going to "Taco Tuesday Night" which basically consists of a bunch of married couples  going out to dinner (not always tacos surprisingly) and then playing games at someones house. This last Tuesday we switched things up a bit and had it at one of the couples family guest house up in stone cliff. Crazy nice house. Our group rocks and it's fun all being married.

 Ethan was in love with all the "toys" in the garage. 

 Stone Cliff has the best views in St.George in my opinion. There was one empty lot just down the road that we claimed. Someday we'll build a nice home up there with an amazing view of the town, temple, and pine valley mt.

Ever meet some people you just instantly click with? I kind of feel that way with these girls. Last night our husbands were watching basketball so us three decided to go do our own thing. We went down to the river walk and talked/laughed like we were old friends. Then we somehow ended up climbing. haha These girls are too much fun.

This last week Ethan and some of his buddies volunteered to sing for FHE at a rest home. Such great guys. They started a barbershop quartet not to long ago just to get back into singing again. I love Ethans willingness to share his talents with others.

Temple, flying planes & a perfect baby!

 It's already June! Can you believe it?! Where has the year gone! Ever since I got engaged/married, time has flown by! I guess it's true, time flies when you're having fun!! 

I swear I only post about my weekends...but to be honest those are the most exciting days! Since Ethan and I both work mon-fri basically 8-5 the weekends are our stress relieving, party attending, family spending, outdoors living, moments! I live for the weekends! We are so blessed to live so close to both our families and we are doing all we can to make the most of that. There are going to be some changes in our life coming up that could move us from our families for a time, so we are making sure to take advantage of them now! 

We were lucky enough to attend two different sealings at the LDS St.George temple over the weekend! I absolutely love going to the temple. Especially sealings. The feelings and excitement from our sealing 5 months ago, comes rushing back in and I fall in love with Ethan all over again. Attending the temple allows me to honestly forget about the world for a while and just focus on the real important things of this life. I will always be grateful Ethan and I chose a temple marriage. In a civil wedding, nothing saddens me more than to hear the words "till death do you part" in the ceremony. I am blessed to know that I WILL be with my husband and love of my life for this life and eternity. And I'm glad these friends of ours felt the same.

I taught my first lesson in our Primary class. It's sad I get nervous to teach a bunch or 8 year olds. Okay, probably more pathetic. That is just one thing I've never been good at, public speaking. However, I felt really good about my lesson on Sunday. I have to thank my loving husband for that. He really "pushed" and encouraged me, in the best way possible, to learn to give and prepare lessons. I am grateful for a husband that cares about my spiritual progress! Ethan and I just adore our primary kids. Walking home from church Ethan informed me he wants a little girl because of how adorable our primary kids are. They just adore Ethan. But lets be honest...who doesn't!?

After church and our routine naps, we headed to hurricane for dinner with the family. This Sunday was especially enjoyable. Kyson convinced the whole family to head out to the park to watch him fly his new remote control plane. It was actually pretty darn impressive.

Well everyone but Liam was impressed. Kyson had the plane take off over him and he was terrified. Can't lie though, this picture is classic. He took off running to us so fast! Poor kid. haha

We also enjoyed a nice ride on the Tailgate, which totally brings back young childhood summer memories! Oh to be a kid again and actually have a summer!

Our good friends had their baby about a week ago. They made a perfect baby. Seriously, she's perfect! I love her and I want one. Ethan says not yet...but after holding her I think he started to get a little itching to have one too! I can already tell little Emma June and I will be best friends. ;) Congrats on your precious little angle Lacy & Trevor! You will be seeing lots more of us I'm positive. 

Nothing makes me more baby hungry than seeing Ethan hold a teeny tiny baby and actually enjoying it!

Memorial Weekend!!

Every have one of those moments you wish you could live in forever? I caught mine on camera Sunday. Such a perfect afternoon. Us three were eating on a blanket in our backyard during a family BBQ. Then our little picnic turned into a little laying down eating popsicles, watching the wind blow through the trees (which amazed him), bonding time. Getting this kid to sit still for longer than 5 minutes is pretty much impossible, so for him to lay with us and enjoy the relaxation for about 20 was amazing. He's the cutest especially when he talks to us in his complete gibberish and goes on and on because he believes we understand him. Oh and can we talk about how hot my husband is? Wowza!

 

For memorial day Shay and Tyson went riding with us out to Toquerville Falls. I was in desperate need of sun! This is the first full-time job I've ever had so sadly I'm indoors most days so when the chance to enjoy the sun comes around, I'm all for it!  Shay & Tyson are our number one go to adventure buddies. If you are not a twin you will never be able to really understand the bond that twins have and the awesome fact that I will always have a best friend. ALWAYS! Plus now that we are both married we make for perfect double date buddies for life! I love having a twin, my twin!

 

  

Sooo relaxing, just soaking up the sun! As you can see, we both needed a bit haha

Our mighty strong men!

Oh good news, Eth and I were called as Valiant 8 primary teachers!! I mean Brother & Sister Janson. So weird! haha We taught our first lesson on Sunday and we already love our kids. :) Eth is a natural with kids and teaching. Me, not so much! I love the kids but I am not very good at giving talks or lessons. I recently was telling Eth I didn't really feel like I was progressing and wasn't sure what to do...well the Lord sure did. I think having this calling will really help me improve so I'm excited! One things for sure, being in primary is a great form of birth control ;)


Oh and shout out to my awesome husband! Today marks 5 months of bliss spent with him! :)

Weekend roadtrip with the Twin&hubby

This past weekend one of my old roommates and best friends got married!! Shay&Tyson Eth&I decided to go up to the wedding and make a weekend out of it! She was married in the Bountiful LDS Temple and a reception in the cutest little town called Garland. It was awesome witnessing the first live sealing since mine and I was so happy I was able to be there to see just how happy Kaylyn&Garland were together. I wish them a life full of happiness, love, laughter, and scorebars;) (only a few roommates would understand this)
    

 

The reception was gorgeous! A nice shabby country theme in a field. Plus we finally got to reunite with this beautiful gem.

    

 The bountiful temple was in full bloom. loved it!

Other than the wedding we were able to go to another RSL game!! Eth has really helped my love for RSL to grow! We met up with one of eth's mission buddies and date. Fun date night!

While we were in Logan visiting Tami and Keean we got to try Aggies ice cream and met up with our old time friends Lisha and her husband and Chris and his girlfriend! They took us up to the Logan canyon for smore's and a campfire. So good to see them!! (sorry for the bad quality, took it off facebook)

We also did a lot of other random fun things. Like movies, shopped at Scheels, of course we had to eat at Madocks where Tyson ate a 32oz steak! Good memories! I'm so lucky to have a twin and best friend to go on roadtrips with and that our husbands get along so well! Here are just a few random pictures from the trip as well...

Found this neat thing across the street from the bountiful temple! #dr.who

Eth also got to meet a man who wrote a story about his life and serving in the FBI in Russia! So of course Ethan went over and started speaking to him in Russian. He gave Ethan his email to have him send a free copy of his second book and offered to come do a fireside for our stake. Eth was like a little boy...so excited!!
