Surprise for Laura!

Last Thursday was Laura's birthday so I decided to surprise her with a visit! I spent a couple days down there with her and my family.

Laura blowing out her candles! Rosanne was able to get off early on Laura's birthday so she came over to hang out with us. We spent most of the day making a craft.

These are the blocks we made. Super cute!

Weekend in Boise

Now that we are in Twin Falls, we are only two hours away from Kyle's family in Boise so it's easier to head over there for the weekend. We spent last weekend there and made our delicious pizza for them. This time we tried a different kind of cheese for those who may like more vegetables and less cheese and that was a big hit!

Rachel, Kyle's mom and I spent some time getting things for Kelsey's wedding, this is us taking a break and getting some lunch.

Kyle's mom is really good at finding old pieces of furniture and making them look new and I am always telling her that I want her to teach me how to do it so for my birthday this year she got me this old glass window and taught me how to fix it up!

It was fun learning the techniques and her tricks.

Here is the finished product! It turned out super cute and I can't wait to put it on my wall!

March Madness

With Kyle being a sports fan I of course had to fill out a bracket for basketball. Kyle set up a group on ESPN and there was one day where I was tied for first! Kyle was so proud of me he took a screen shot on the computer so we could always remember how well I did. I wasn't in first for too long but it was still fun to be there for a little while!

Shoshone Falls

Sunday was a very beautiful spring day so Kyle and I went to see the Shoshone falls which is only about 1o minutes away from our house!

I love how we didn't have to travel very far to see these gorgeous falls!
Kyle thought this waterfall was the best one we saw ;-)

You have to cross this canyon to get to Twin Falls...beautiful!

I am always amazed at the beauty of this earth!

Weekend in Utah

The weather finally was good enough that Kyle and I were able to go to Utah to visit my family this last weekend! We met up with my parents and Laura in Salt Lake City to have dinner with them at Kyle's favorite Mexican restaurant, The Red Iguana.

On Saturday Laura and I went with my mom and dad to the Temple. My dad has been doing some genealogy work so Laura did some work for our 3rd great grandma and I got to do work for my 4th great grandma, it was pretty neat to do something so special for such close relatives.

Rosanne and Rafa hung out with us Friday night and Saturday afternoon and evening. It was fun relaxing and visiting together.

I love visiting my family and that includes Toby! He certainly is getting up there in years but he is still great to cuddle with and is as cute as ever!

Kyle & Staci's Delicious Pizza

Ever since Kyle and I got married we have been perfecting a pizza recipe and I'd had to say that we make a pretty good pizza! However, Kyle is still trying to find ways to make it even better so he is always talking to people and researching trying to find any way to make it better.

Kyle is getting pretty good at tossing the dough to make a perfect round pizza!
We each have kind of adopted our part in the pizza making process. Kyle is in charge of the dough and I am in charge of the sauce and putting on the toppings.

Kyle has recently been trying to get a nice crust on our pizza and was proud of how fluffy this crust turned out.

We have found the best way to cook the pizza is on a pizza stone.

Yum Yum!!
