Sean's extended birthday...

HELLO all! So Sean and I went to the UT Jazz vs WA Wizzards last night and it was really fun. I am not one for basketball I grew up in a wrestling family so we never watched basketball. But I really did enjoy it so much. We had great seats and the game was good. We were almost 20 points ahead the whole game and it was great. The people here love their Jazz and it was such a good night for Sean and I. We got to get away from studying and the gym and homework and laundry and just get out and have fun.

Here are the teams getting ready for the game... Standing for the National Anthem.. It was done really well actually. Usually I am not impressed but I was pleasently suprised!The little tiny Jazz Cheereleaders. These girls were so good. I was amazed and I can't wait to have little girls. Sean said they get to do this when we have them..... THEY WERE TINY AND SO GOOD. They did their dance so well and it was so fun to see.

WE WON!!!!! GReAT...

Of course Sean is watching the game while I am trying to take pictures.... Bless his heart. LOVE my husband... HAPPY BIRTHDAY WONDERFUL MAN!

MOM!!!! THANK YOU!

hey so my mom came for the weekend and it was so good to see her. She is always so helpful when she comes to see me. Sean loved it. She jumped in and did the dishes and he didn't have to... That sure made his day. We didn't have a ton of time but it was so fun to have her here. I miss her alot and I was worried I wouldn't be able to see her before we left for Korea. LOVE YOU MOM!!! O And my little brother came down from Rexburg ID. That was fun... The Stewart boys like to see what all he will eat at the Korean Restraunt... Which was EVERYTHING.... We went to my cousin Ali's bridal shower Saturday too. It was fun to have the cousins all together!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!

this last weekend was my Husband's 26th birthday... A day he has not been looking forward to with a TON of happiness. BUT he didn't seem to dread it either. I did want to make sure he loved his birthday and looked forward to them from now on. SO..

"SUPRISE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!"

we all yelled as he walked into our home Saturday evening. I have been planning his party for weeks now making sure I had everything for him... Presents, balloons, streamers, LOTS OF CANDY and other goodies and our family there. I had a blast planning it and Sean's reaction showed that he really had no idea what was going on. He just stood there with a terrified look on his face, trying his hardest to figure out why there was so much shouting coming from his home that was supposed to be only holding his wife and her friend... He just stood staring at us.... NOT sure what to think exactly. He had never had a suprise party before and it made his heart stop when we yelled. PERFECT!!! It turned out so well.

I cooked and decorated all day to get ready for this, and did my last minute shopping too. THANKS ERICA FOR PICKING UP HIS BALLOONS AND COMING OVER FOR A "GIRLS DAY filled with SCRAPBOOKING" SO I COULD HAVE A REASON TO MAKE SEAN LEAVE THE HOUSE! We decorated and got the house all ready and then the family arrived... and we had to wait.. Of course Sean had gone to see Kyle and then with Lance to the gym so we couldn't get him home. We sat waiting while he did his workout and then decided he needed to get 2 moves for the night. GRRRRRRREAT Sean... We are all sitting at home practicing "SUPRISE" or "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" or "Don'T MOVE OR I'll SHOOT" we couldn't decide what would be best.

WE went with "SUPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!" and stayed away from the shooting one. So that was fun. I made Sean's cake... It was banna with bananna cream and chocolate frosting... I got GREAT reviews from the boys like always! And so that was wonderful.

THEN IT WAS PRESENT TIME!

ok... so I am terrible at keeping things a secret. I gave Sean 3 presents this weeks before the party... First his new workout pumas. CAUSE HE HAS LOST HIS OTHER GYM SHOES AND HAS BEEN WEARING HIS NICE FANCY BLACK SCHOOL SHOES TO THE GYM! and I couldn't watch that for another night... HE LOVES THEM. that is good... THEN thanks to one of my customers at the bank I got 2 nights of tickets for the both of us to a hockey game... That should be lots of fun! that was the 3 things I gave him till at the party... WHERE HE GOT HIS LAST PRESENT! LOWER BOWL TICKETS TO THE UTAH JAzZZZ! Oooooo GREAT! I had no idea hw would love them so much. His reaction was GREAT and it made me feel good I could give him such a nice birthday! AND THANKS EVERYONE for coming... It was perfect.

testing out new WATERS

Well... testing out my new camera is more like it. I had some very willing subjects to photograph. It was so wonderful. I got to take out my new camera, and really try it out. I loved it. The quality is amazing. It is a little bit harder to focus then I thought but I am sure with practice I will be AMAZING. (we shall see about that.) At least that is what Sean says.
So I took Sean's brother, Lance and his cutie pie girlfriend Erica into Provo Canyon. They were really good sports and did whatever I wanted. From getting on the ground to crawl on their bellies to basically doing gymnastics on the bridge. I had such a good time, and I think they did too. They told me I am going to be a GREAT photographer cause I keep saying " O you guys looks so CUTE! You look GOOD!" and that anyone would be willing to smile and pose for pictures with compliments like that!
I can't wait to show everyone how they turn out. I was going through them last night with Sean, I think he is always a little suprised at my pictures. I get comments like "Was that your idea? That is so COOL! GOOD idea!" Its fun to have him be proud of me and want me to show off what I can do.
Anyhow, I am going ot get a website up and get my advertising going so I can be IN BUSINESS! I can't wait to jump in and do it. I love this. I love to capture a moment that we could never get back, we can only look back. And I got it. I can't wait to document a part of your life. Freeze that moment in time. And then give it back to you in a small way.
SO.... HERE I COME!

our home....

I don't know if these pictures our home justice... NOT on the looks but how much time and thought I put into our home... Sean too, boy did it take forever to decide where to put the couches. We moved around our home OVER and OVER. And couldn't agree on where we wanted it, we only knew where we DIDN'T want it. Anyways, the pictures above are our living room, and below is our dining room. MY two favorite looking places. They clean up nicely. And Sean loves them. Those curtains are made out of sheets... That I wore to a toga party with Christine and Jessica and Sean and Lance at the boy's house. It was fun. Anyhow... LOVE it. Thanks mom for finding that BEAUTIFUL table and chair set. WE LOVE IT.

Valentines Day

MY VALENtine!!

GOOD MORNING VALENTINE!


I couldn't wait to share this day with Sean. He has never had a special someone, or girlfriend on this day. He always managed to skip around it I guess! I did let him know that he NEVER would have a girlfriend on Valentine's day! NOW he just has a WIFE! AND THATS ME!

He put lots of thought into this day for me. He was adorable. From right when I woke up he was being MR. Valentine. Flowers and chocolate and then I was directed to take a bath and eat the chocolates in the tub like a queen (he mentioned he thought about doing grapes too but stopped at the chocolates.) Super cute. It was supposed to be a bubble bath. So I did as I was instructed and filled the tub and ate my chocolates and relaxed and read. And when he came to visit me once I could smell the MOST amaving smell coming from the kitchen.... IT WAS FRENCH TOAST! JUST FOR ME! Its my favorite breakfast and he wanted me to have it... I got to be pampered and waited on hand and foot all morning! And then got to take some time for mysef and get my nails done and check out the stores for a little clutch I had my eye on...

Then after lunch and just waiting for Sean to get home from the gym I got to give him his presents! A new watch (its way hot) and some cologne that I found that I had to have on my man... Sean really smells amazing in anything but this one is EXCEPTIONALLY good. I love it on him! And he was excited. It was a good day. And of course we went out for dinner that night and then came home and had a nice quiet night in our little cozy home! It was perfect. He ended up also giving me some pink valentiMe's PJ's that I love and wear really.. every day! I love them... Anyhow... Here are some pictures from our special day. And Sean showing off his cool new watch! You can't smell him from the pictures, BUT let me tell you YOU WISH YOU COULD! Its AMAZING! LOVE IT! This picture right above is Sean posing with his new watch. He loved it and it looks hot on him so that was good. Anyhow this was a great day. And I havea new love for Valentine's Day. I can't wait to have one EVER year with my husband SEAN STEWART!

pictures....

here are a few pictures.... I just thought I would show you all my cute husband... We have such a good time I wanted to share it with you all... LOVE THEM...

so... I found a few more pictures

I know Sean and I have been married for a couple months now but it feels like yesterday. EXCEPT for I love how it grown. You always think you know how much you love someone. At least I thought I did. BUT every time I get home and see Sean or when I wake up and see him... OR when I brush me teeth by him I can't get over it. He is the cutest and sweeteest husband ever. Well I have only had one but I know I am one lucky bride...

I know you are all sick of my pictures from Sean's and my wedding but I really don't care! I found a few more pictures... I hope you can find it in your heart to love them too!

CHristmas pictures...!!!

Hey it February now... And I am finally getting our Christmas pictures up from our very first Christmas married!! there will be more.. give me a little bit..

this first one is Christmas Eve, Sean and I were Joseph and Mary and we had baby Jesus... It was awfully fun.. hahahah till they attacked my baby! (the plastic one...)

Snow party....

Hanging out hiding from the boys who were having a crazy snowball fight... Ha.!!! They were pretty into it. WATCH OUT!!


I was talking him into playing in the snow with me.. it worked.. To say the least!!

Sundance Film Festival

So this weekend Sean and I took a couple of days and spent them together... Just me and him. Friday after work we spent the night in Salt Lake at a BEAUTIFUL hotel before heading up to Park city and going to the Sundance Film Festival, we go to walk around and see lots of fun shops (Sean wasn't much into that :) but he put up with his wife who wanted to) And made plans to go back with his brothers this coming week. I didn't get tickets in advance... MY BAD so we didn't get to see a show but hope to go see one later this week.
We did see Cuba Gooding JR.... and now Sean and I are practically famous... We'll be signing autographs all week... hahaha jokin. BUT seriously.
Sean says he went to network cause he "wants to do movies" and he plans on being famous someday. I guess I will be right there riding on his coat tails! Can't wait for that.
After that we just came home and had a nice quite Sunday and MONDAY too! I had a 3 DAY WEEKEND... I needed the time off badly... I have felt so worn out the last week or so. So it was perfect timing for this little break. And Monday... Sean and I layed around most of the morning and then FINALLY got some deep cleaning done and I TOOK DOWN OUR TREE!! HEY its before February! So we are good. SOME people say its lazy but I say it just keeps the Christmas spirit around longer! :) We just had a super dry Fred (our tree) by the time I got him down. LOTS to vaccum up! BUT I got it all done!
NOW tomorrow its back to the dentist... I have to get my permenant cap put on because I had a root canal the other day (I had a tooth crack right before Sean and I got married). So that is where I will spend my day off tomorrow. Fun FUN fun. I have pictures of the Festival I just have to load up onto the computer! So.. I will get those up sooner or later! PEACE OUT

funny picture..

this is in the Belize Jungle.... Sean and I went cave inner tubing then did this zip line through the jungle! It was so insane, and quite the experience. I was AMAZING at it by the way. I couldn't find a picture of Sean doing this but as soon as I do I will post it. So... I have a suprise for SEAN this weekend... And there will be lots of pictures after this, him and I both have a 3 day weekend so we are excited and I will be taking him on a little adventure! Can't wait to tell you all about it, but for now its a secret!

my super cute nieces...

Here are the Randall and Gwen Floyd girls! They are getting so big. I love them so much. They took these ones of them in the hats today so I could see my little angels!!!

this one is at my wedding this is Emma hugging Sage, my cousin Kim's little girl.

building it together...

When you get married you do everything slightly differently, at least I have. Everything I do is with the thought of Sean in my mind, and how he would want it done, or if he might be able to help me do it better. And I have come to rely more and more on him even though the amount of time when you put a number to it, it seems we have only been married a little while, but our friendship and our confidence in each other and our trust makes it feel like forever. Sean is so supportive and he treats me so well and encourages me and helps me when I need it. Recently Sean and I decided that we are going to start our own business.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE................

Or very own photography business. WE WILL BE IN THIS TOGETHER!!! Sean keeps saying "I just want to watch you work!" I can't wait to share that with him. I have taken pictures for years and loved it. I have done if for free for my friends and those close to me that I love and I LOVE to be behind the camera. I had done so much in front of it with all my pageants and the photos that come with and then also with ABC when I was living in Seattle. I feel like I have a great perspective now being behind it! So watch out here I come!! I will let you all know when we are up and running for business! And what our website it. I actually did my first "official" set of engagement pictures this last week. And I have 2 appointments set up to do family pictures and a wedding at the beginning of the summer. I can't wait to get more lined up! So when we get the ball really rolling I will let you know. I can't wait to tell everyone the name! So you just WAIT!! I know you can barely handle the suspense... but you will just have to be patient!

hey mom.. I LOVE YOU
