Hip & Simple Creativity

liFe is gOoD!!!!

Do you like our new blog look??? I love it!

We have had a couple of interesting weeks recently and I haven’t posted a lot so here it goes…

This past Saturday we went to the BYU football game with our friends Sarah and Clayton. They were recently engaged, so congrats to them. It was a lot of fun, we won’t talk about the actual game but the experience was fun. Sarah had most of the pictures on her camera so there is just this one!


We went to Mississippi to visit Stephen’s family. It was supposed to be for his 10 year high school reunion (I know he is getting old! j/k) but that got moved to next May, so maybe an 11 year high school reunion? Anyway, we already had the trip planned and the tickets so we went. We got to meet our new sister-in-law Judy. Stephen’s brother Glen got married to Judy in February of this year. We just found out they are expecting a baby so that is pretty exciting! Here are some pictures from this trip. I just love Stephen’s family, they are awesome, it really was the perfect trip!

These pictures are a little out of order but oh well…

This is Stephen’s grandparents old house….. well where it once stood before Katrina. Good thing they lived in Texas during the storm. It was crazy to see that things haven’t all been rebuilt, but when we went for Glen’s graduation 2 years ago, there was still debris in the trees so it looked better than that I guess. Still sad.

We went to Stephen’s high school’s football game after having dinner with some friends of his from high school. It was fun!


There are little geckos that are on the bathroom windows at night. They were really cool to see. Patti (my mother-in-law) said they sometimes end up in the house but they aren’t harmful they are just tiny little things!

A lot of the houses near the coast are built up on stilts kind of, like this picture. Especially the new ones, it seems pretty smart in that area.

Here are the kids, L-R, Judy, Glen, Stephen and Me!


Mom and her boys!


Stephen and Al! Great picture!

He is hilarious, right?

I just love this one. He makes me laugh, and oh so happy!

Here is one of Stephen sleeping at the hotel after the big ALABAMA game!

At the University of Alabama! My first college football game

He is a very happy man!

It was raining like crazy. I have never seen anything like that, it just started gushing out of the sky and there was no hope for it. We had ponchos but at that point it was too wet to do anything. I felt really gross the whole game and my clothes were so wet, my pants weren’t dry like a couple of days latter. It was still a blast and we will never forget that experience! Stephen, of course, did not have a voice after the game was over! They one, because they are awesome!

Stephen is growing out his hair and I have to tell you, it is quite entertaining. Here are some pictures of the styles he is trying out. I don’t think they do justice to the real thing but it is pretty hilarious. It is a little longer now too and when he dries it with an actual blow dryer, it is huge he looks like wolverine! I love it!
