Happy Halloween!

Holidays, ,

After a stressful week of midterms, homework, assignments, work, and SNOW, Josh and I had a way fun Halloween. On Friday we came home from school, made Josh’s costume (Josh: Paige made it, and it was awesome!) (Paige: mine was recycled from a past year), and headed to our ward’s Halloween party. Though our dessert didn’t win the prize even though they were the first ones eaten (sorry, Mom–we still think your cinnamon rolls are the best dessert EVER), we had a lot of fun seeing everyone’s creative costumes and eating yummy food. Saturday we entertained the few trick-or-treaters brave enough to come up to our haunted-looking house, and we watched a movie. But our costumes were definitely way fun! I was Dorothy and Josh was the Scarecrow. Enjoy the pictures!

Happy Fourth of July

Holidays, , ,

So, we’ve had some great vacations this summer, including the Fourth of July we just spent with the Stewart Family Reunion (Josh’s mom’s side). We had a great time eating food and watching fireworks and talking lots and lots of politics and having forums and playing games. It was great to be with family, relax, and have fun. We played night games with all the college students, teenagers, and kids one night, which was a blast—even though Josh’s brother Luke ran into a fence and got the biggest goose egg ever! Poor kid, but he was tough. We also got to see the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house, and it’s a beautiful temple. All in all, a fantastic weekend! Here are some pictures!

Days Go By

Just Life, , ,

Well, February came and went and we’re well into March! Life is just flying right by. We stay busy with school and work and happy with everything fun we do, so life (though fast) is great. We thought we’d try to catch you up on some recent highlights.

First, we had a great Valentine’s Day! That evening we had a new experience as we went to a married ward dance. We weren’t quite sure what to expect (sometimes in our minds we still picture married people as old and boring), but it was actually really fun! We had a blast dancing the night away (well, at least the couple of hours we were there…)

This weekend we had a treat as Paige’s sister Brenn and her cousin Ashley were in town over spring break. On Sunday we had them over for dinner, as well as Audrey and Josh’s brother Sam. Everyone helped out by bringing food (and chairs, since we only have three of them), and we had a great time eating food, making crepes for dessert, and playing games. There was lots of laughter involved, and we all left very full. Sunday dinners with family are the best!

Finally, it’s March in Utah, but the weather has been great lately! We’ve had several weeks now of sunshine, warm weather, and cool nights. It’s so great! We are excited for spring to finally come. But with the warm weather and melting snow we did realize something about our yard…or really lack of yard. As the last snow melted, we realized with dismay that our front “yard” consists of dirt, weeds, clumps of spikey grass, and taller weeds…but, alas, no grass. One day as we were coming home we stopped to chat with our neighbor, who eventually asked us, “So, are you going to do anything about your yard…?” Well, haha, looks like we’re the neighborhood eyesore! It’s going to be one of our spring projects, should our landlord agree to help us out.

Well, that’s the news from the Lyman home. We hope life continues to be this good, because we’re really happy and we feel really blessed. Hope you all have had a great month as well!
