Look What We Found Ten Mins. From Las Vegas!!!

YES! Do believe your eyes! It is snow ten minutes from our lovely Las Vegas residence! Christmas miracles do happen! We loved playing in the snow and that Christmas came a little bit early this year!

Nutcracker Days

I'm the lady in the ghastly white wig on the far left in both photos. Fun performance....not so awesome wig.

Air Show 2011! Aaron was so excited for this!

This show was every guys dream! The boys loved it...the girls thought it was pretty cool too, but the boys went wild.

Aaron's 31st Birthday!

Is it just me or does Aaron just keep getting better and better with age? I love planning surprises for Aaron's birthday! He is a pretty spoiled husband...but he is the most perfect husband ever so I suppose the spoiling is justified. First he was treated to one of the most incredible shows on the strip, The Phantom of the Opera. Yes is was phenomenal, as usual. There is a lot of sentimental meaning behind the show for us, so it was fun to revisit a performance that was so meaningful to our relationship. We went to Max Brenner ( the all things chocolate restaurant) with friends and of course between the family and myself Aaron wanted for no video games and toys. Happy Birthday Babe!

Happy Halloween

We had too much fun passing out candy to the cute trunk or treaters!


The brothers, Aaron, and I working on our pumpkins.





We are the sheriffs of awesomeness! Happy Halloween! I am such a lucky girl to have such an amazing family and husband! Aaron and I spent the Halloween weekend with my family in California. We had a BLAST! Trunk or Treating, carving pumpkins, games, and yummy treats all rolled into one weekend? Yes please!


Our fancy Halloween artwork.

Our Two Year Anniversary!!! Wow time sure flies when you are having fun!

We celebrated two years of blissful, incredible, and perfect matrimony today. Being married to one another for the last two years has been a phenomenal blessing and such an amazing experience. Aaron and I grow closer and stronger as a family every day. Each morning when I wake up next to him I am so thankful to be married to such a smart, handsome, and hardworking person. He is really my universe. I couldn't say enough prayers in this lifetime to express my gratitude for him. Alright, enough sappy stuff:)



It was my year to plan the anniversary date. Of course I wanted to make it special and over the top. I wanted to take Aaron back to the place we were engaged...the day he put a ring on it was really magical. Although I could never recreate that day (it was just to amazing, emotional ect.) I wanted at least to go to the bridge were the magic happend. So I booked tickets to Blue Man group and a fancy steakhouse at the Venetian were we were engaged 2 years and three months ago. Dinner was delicious and not only was the show amazing, we were actually asked to be audience participants in the performance. Basically Aaron and I were superstars and stole the show. We loved our thirty seconds of fame. After the performance we took a long and romantic walk on the bridge were Aaron proposed...It was a good night.





Same place 2 years 3 months ago!!! What a magical day!

Fourth of July 2011!!!

Since when did my little brothers out grow me?


We play with our food in our family!

Who doesn't just LOVE the fourth of July? Fireworks,food, family, and fun? What's not to love?!? We were lucky enough to spend time with both Radmall and Humphries families in Utah. Stadium of Fire, BBQ-ing, spending time at friend's cabins, and watching parades were all fun activities Aaron and I were able to do in celebration of our country. My dad and brothers ran in the 5K Freedom Run, they all did really well (even my DAD) and Andrew even placed in the top 15...Bazinga! It was a pretty perfect weekend!



I wish Dr. Radmall would wear his glasses more often...he looks so adorably sophisticated:)

Yet Another Ballet Post...

When I jump for joy...this is how I jump. Aaron jumps like this as well when he is jumping for joy...it's just how we roll in this family.

24 Years Young!

As of today, I am 24. I will make my last year in my 'early twenties' an incredible year for me. Time goes by fast. I would like to thank my mother for giving birth to me with no medication on this day 24 years ago...WOW. I should be sending all my presents to my mother! More updates on the celebrations soon to come!

This is what 24 looks like in the Rad Fam's House!



BIrthday gifts and breakfast in bed? Sure!

Aaron is of course the most perfect husband and spoiled me rotten! I know, I know this doesn't surprise anyone. As for the rest of the day...I can't wait to continue the celebration of...Me!

Morning Egg Hunt...Happy Easter

Aaron finding his Easter Treats

Dove Chocolate Bunny for Breakfast? Great Idea!!!

It becomes pretty apparent on Easter morning that Aaron and I are five year old children stuck in twenty/thirty year old bodies. We get so excited to see what the "Easter Bunny" brought us. We get up much to early to hunt eggs, sneak a peak at our baskets and we can't sleep the night before because we are just "to excited!"...seriously. You should see our situation around Christmas...out of control. If our behavior is any indicator of how our children will react to the excitement of the holidays, than we are going to have some seriously excited/crazy kids on our hands. But regardless of all the fun treats and little gifts, I as the grounded wife try to remember the real reason for Easter (and I lovingly remind my adorable husband). I'm really the most excited to give my Easter Lesson in Primary about our Savior and I'm really happy we get to go to church and listen to great Easter talks and hear Easter music.

Things I Couldn't Go On Living Without...

I've been feeling incredibly blessed lately. Probably because I am. I have so much to be thankful for. This list could honestly go on forever, but I thought it would be fun to blog a little bit about a few things I am grateful for today.

#1. Aaron Radmall. He is the most darling and perfect husband I could ask for. He will forever hold the number one spot on my most thankful list. I could never be with out him.



#2. Temples. I'm grateful for knowing because of the work done in temples we can be with the ones we love the most forever and ever.

#3 Family. My parent gave me everything I ever wanted and needed. Seriously...I had it all because my mom and dad rock. My brothers are awesome and super fun. And for two years now I've had a whole new family to enjoy.
The Radmalls


The Humphries


#4 The Gym. I love working out. It relaxes me. I can't live without feeling the burn for an hour or two a day. But most of all I'm thankful for a healthy body that functions so I am able to go to the gym.



#5 A Pretty Earth to spend this life in.



Some days I really feel blue for no reason. It's so dumb/annoying. I truly have nothing to be sad about. And even on the rare occasion that I do have something to be sad about...it's never really that bad and/or always turns out alright. I think my new goal should be to make a thankful list any time I feel sad:) Then I'll be happy.

Cupcakes! Yum!

Cupcakes are adorable and delectably delicious. So being the Holly Homemaker that I am, I made Easter Cupcakes for Aaron's Office! Speaking of Easter treats...I did a pretty good job of avoiding Easter Candy this year. No offense to Christmas candy....but every one knows Easter Candy is the best, so I guess this Easter Weekend would be my time to get my Easter Candy Fix for the year. Cadbury Eggs here I come.

Oh and while we are on the subject of cupcakes...here are some other baked delights I have done lately.

They are supposed to be "garden" themed...If you look close you can see cabbage, carrots, radish ect.

We Love It When Our Families Visit!

Aaron and I had a super weekend date...actually we had several super dates this weekend and my Californian family tagged along for our adventures. My family finally made it up to Las Vegas to see our new place (they are very busy/popular...my dad is busy teaching High School French, my mom is busy making modest prom dresses for the girls in her ward and my brothers are busy being star athletes and getting ready for college...so it's okay it took them so long to get up here). We had lots of fun bowling, going on roller coasters, site seeing all of the awesomely tacky Las Vegas sites and of course the boys were constantly playing tricks/pranks on each other. So it was a fun filled weekend of adventure and excitement here at the Rad Fam house.

The Utah Family comes up to visit us often and I thought it would be fun to post some pictures from when the Utah Radmalls came to visit us last time. I think these are from just after Christmas this year...We are pretty lucky to have such great families on the Radmall side and on the Humphries side. Double Awesomeness.

We Got a Mac...now I have to experiment

We needed a new computer..we got a MAC. This computer rocks! I am still trying to figure everything out. Oh look it comes with a photo booth. What more do you need...? Oh look the cute little apple lights up in the back. I need to figure out how to put some fun videos up.

Välkommen hem Matthew!

The Humphries Family officially welcomed home their first return missionary. After two years of serving in Sweden, Matt came home...only to be embarrassed at the airport by his slightly excited family (we had 'welcome home' signs and caused a bit of a scene at the airport). It was so much fun to have all the kids together again, and now that Aaron is a part of the family, all four of the boys were getting into all sorts of 'trouble' together, Call of Duty marathons, tazer fights, shooting lizards and stink bombs...now that all four of them are together...we have our hands full:)



I'm so proud of Matthew (and all of my little brothers) and his service in Sweden. He worked so hard and we know he will be blessed for all of his efforts in the mission field. Congrats to him and Välkommen hem(I think this is Swedish for welcome home:)!


The Three Brothers...back together again:)

American Ballet Theatre Teacher Training!

Wicked...you can see some of the cool scenery in the back round. Loved this show!



I love New York. I've had so many happy memories there. Of course, this visit was no exception. Thanks to my wonderful husband, I was able to go to an amazing 10 days of teacher training with American Ballet Theatre. I love being a ballet teacher, and this made me love it even more. I can't wait to get back to teaching on Wednesday to use all my new knowledge and information. On top of getting to be a part of an amazing certification program, my mom and grandma came along for the trip too! Wahoo! Three generations in one hotel room...it was pretty much a party every night. And by party I mean me studying for hours. But don't worry I made it to 'Wicked' and 'The Lion King' both fantastic. It was nice to be able to spend quality time with my mom and Grandma in such an exciting place. Right now I am just happy to be back in Vegas snuggling with Aaron, even though NYC was amazing...nothings as wonderful as being with him.


Brrrr! Yes it snowed and was freezing...but look how pretty!



My fellow teachers...such great people. This was right before my final test! I was SOOO nervous! But thank goodness it went great!

Shouldn't Every Day be like Valentines Day?

Handsome Guy.

Aaron and I decided not to celebrate Valentines Day this year. Ahaha, if this is what our house looks like when we "aren't celebrating" Valentines Day I'm seriously curious as to what our house would look like when we do celebrate. I guess even though we both had long days of work and Valentines Day inconveniently feel on a busy Monday, we just couldn't resist an excuse to express our love and spoil each other. And as cheesy as this sounds, it kind of always feels like Valentines Day in the Rad Fam's home. Happy Valentines Day! XO!



The explosion of LOVE decorations!
