CHILE TRIP!!!

We went to my beautiful Chile to have our Chilean wedding reception so we could celebrate with all of my family, relatives, and friends. The night before we left for Chile we had a mini Nany birthday celebration in which we went to Tucano's to eat some Brazilian (SO good!) and I got my nails done and had a pedicure (also to be ready for the reception!). We were SO excited to fly to Chile we couldn't wait!

Our 1st Married Valentine's Day!

Great memories!!! While we were still living in the Covey apartments we celebrated our 1st Married Valentine's Day. I think it fell on a Saturday and our ward had a Valentine's Day party. Since I was in the activities committee in the ward, we helped plan and MC the event. It was a lot of fun! Too bad we didn't take pictures! Zane surprised me with beautiful flowers, balloons, and a gorgeous necklace. I gave him tickets to the Grizzlies! It was my very 1st hockey game. Zane had to (and still has to) explain to me all the rules! We had a wonderful time, although the Grizzlies lost to the team from Bakerfield.

Happy birthday Mattias!

Mattias' b-day is only 4 days after Zane's. We went to Mapleton to celebrate his birthday with him. It's amazing to see how much this little boy has grown!!! I can't believe I once changed his diapers!

Luke came to visit!!!

Our dear Luke Hanzon came to visit us for Valentine's weekend. It is always so fun to see him!! I just enjoyed watching of Zane and Luke while they were playing the Wii, they were in their own little world!

Remembering 2009 - Happy birthday my Zane!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ZANE!!!!!

Zane was such a lucky boy!!! He got 2 surprise b-day parties and one amazing birthday day date with his hot wife!

The first one was at Reece and Haley's house. Haley was so cute!!! She made all these decorations for Zane's birthday! And of course, we could not have celebrated Zane's birthday (and Super Bowl weekend) without Kirsten's football treats!!! The second one was at the apartment of our friends the Cox's. Zane thought I would be visiting teaching, so as "my companion could not come" I asked him to walk me over to their home. Then it was "surprise" with some of our friends from our ward.

The day of his birthday Nany took Zane to Texas Roadhouse where he had some amazing ribs!! We had plan to go bowling after dinner...but we were exhausted, so we left it for another day :)

Zane was so lucky to get the Superman movie, Starburst candy... and ...the Nintendo WII!!! We actuall both love it, haha...but it could sure get more use than it does!! Feel free to stop by to play any time!

Zane, I am SO happy that you were born!!! You are the most amazing husband anyone could ever wish for!!!

Remembering 2009 - Part I

Wow, lots happened in 2009!!! It was a fun and eventful year in which Zane and I grew together, laughed together (and at each other), and overall it was a year of blessings and trials. Here is a little bit of what 2009 was :)

Draper Temple Open House!!

Zane and I had the opportunity to attend the open house for the Draper temple along with the Fails and the Provo Hanzons. We were able to enjoy the beautiful spirit that was present, the gorgeous art inside the temple, a fun bus trip, and some delicious gyros at a Greek Restaurant. We love temples, families, and...... food!! :)






Our friend Jessy gets married!

2009 was a year of weddings for us. Many of our dear friends tied the knot during that year. We felt honored to be part of their special day!

I felt privileged when Jessy asked me to do her hair and makeup for her bridals and for her wedding day :) We had so much fun! She was a gorgeous bride












President's Day Fun!

My mountain man and I decided to go on a little hike for the President's Day holiday. It was a GORGEOUS sunny winter day!!! We ended up in doughnut falls in Little Cottonwood Canyon and took some pictures. We absolutely love nature and we feel so blessed to live by so many beautiful surroundings!

Happy New Years 2009 at the Malzl's!

Being the amazing hostess that Laly Malzl is, once again we joined them and their friends in the biggest and funnest New Years party in all of Mapleton!! :) We danced, sang, ate, celebrated, and had lots of fun!! Happy New Year everyone!

Haha! I love Zane's face in this one!

Christmas 2008: Our 1st Christmas Married!

We were so happy to spend our very first Christmas as a married couple! It really was unforgettable! We purchased our 1st Christmas tree, our first Christmas ornaments, we sent our first Christmas cards....we had lots of 1sts! The big question when it came to our Christmas tree was...colored or clear lights? Even though we both preferred the clear ones, we decided that we wanted to have a colorful Christmas, since we will probably have clear lights in the future. After getting our little apartment all set up, we headed to Colorado for some Colorado Christmas with the Hanzon family! Here are some highlights!

TADA!! The final product! Oops...but you get the idea ;)



Our GORGEOUS nativity from Ghana. We bought it from a man who runs an NGO that buys Christmas nativities from people in need from all over the world. Ours is made out of ebony :)



Merry Christmas everyone!



A Colorado Christmas!



Ready to go snowshoeing! WE LOVE IT!
