Into The Wild...

Last weekend we had a lovely one-night getaway to
the beautiful Jensen Family Cabin.
Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE to camp.
{Even though we were in a mansion-like cabin}

There is nothing I love more than:

  • running around in the dirt for a few days...
  • Not doing my hair or make-up...
  • Staying up til 2 in the morning playing games with great friends...
  • Yummy Food....
  • Four Wheeling ...
  • Seeing wild animals...
  • No T.V. Computers or Cell Phones...
  • Watching my husband become an obsessed mountain man with a B.B. Gun...
  • and spending time with my B.F.F.
It was a perfect weekend.
My only regret is not staying longer.
Thanks Erin & Jared.
We LOOOOVE you.


Us and The Soy-Man...
(I kinda like him)



Melts. My. Heart.


By now, you should know these two lovelies...
(E&J Morgan, just in-case you don't)


Ryan & Lindsay~ The Newest-Newlyweds.


Mark & Morgan


Just a side-shot of the gorgeous cabin.
This picture doesn't quite do it justice.
We love going there and look forward to many more
weekend getaways.

Maybe this winter??

Finally! An Update!! Two Months worth!

About two weeks ago, we returned home from an AMAZING trip to Maui with our DEAR friends Erin and Jared and Baby Sawyer... It was a trip that we will remember forever! It was worth every penny!
Casey was so sweet... he would dig me a chair in the sand and then when I wanted to turn over, a little dip in the sand for my Belly! I was having a hard time trying to get comfortable with my growing belly.

The weather was PERFECT the whole entire time we were there!
It was so great.
It only slightly trickled the first day.
Sawyer was SOOOO good. I feel like we are being spoiled by hanging out with him because he is so insanely good. He slept great and was rarely fussy. He was such a trooper too getting sand all over the place and everything. This big smile of his is just about constant!
We love him so much!

We hiked to "The Blowhole." It's a natural hole in the lava where the water shoots straight up out of the rock and sprays ya. It was really fun. And really hot.

Casey lost his favorite white shades to the waters of Maui. It was a tragic day. He has had those sunglasses for 7 years. At least they we know they are lost in Heaven on Earth.
We went to the yummiest breakfast place that Jared's parents recommended... The Gazebo. It was right on the beach and soooo delicious. Casey got Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes. Wow. Only in Maui. And they have the yummiest Coconut syrup. It was DELICIOUS!

We went on this great hike through rainforest that led to one of the best snorkeling spots! The hike was fun and the snorkeling even better! Lots of Fish and turtles.

It was an amazing trip needless to say. I want to go back at least every couple of years for the rest of my life! It was so fun to be there with Casey. It made us with our little man was there with us! But at the same time we are glad we went when we did... Babies require lots of stuff.
So there you have it. Our Summer update so far. I will be better at this.
I promise!!

Memorial Day

We were able to go down to Provo with my family to remember a lot of
our family who have passed before us.

My sweet Grandma Fullmer (My Dad's Mom) Has been gone for a little over a year now. This was the first time I have been able to go down to her grave. It was so nice to take a minute and remember her and the Legacy that she has left behind. I want to be sure to tell my own kids all about their Grandma Fullmer. She was a remarkable woman who truly lived through it all.
We sure love you Grandma!


We love to see the temple...



Back in May we went to St. George with my family.
We went and saw the temple on Sunday
and walked through the visitors center.
They had a great movie about how we can be with our families forever.
I don't think there was a dry eye in the place.
We both have been blessed with such amazing families.
And now, each other.

Casey's Bowling Birthday

Case and Charlie...
Nick and Tara
Matt and Linds
The Morgans...
And the Birthday Boy! I am sad... I didn't get pictures of so many people who
were there! Especially Casey's two best friends Matt and Cam.
I didn't even get a picture of us together! I need to get better at this!!
Anyway, I put together a little party for Casey back in April at FatCats.
We had a huge turnout and LOTS of pizza.
It was way fun!
(This post is CLEARLY delayed.)

A night at the BEES...

Nothin' like a Summer Baseball Game and a Chicago Dog.
Yum.
Great way to kick off Summer!

It's about time you meet my better half...

casey benjamin.
i love you so much it hurts.
happy birthday!
~~~~~~~
Today is a big day.
Mr. Casebone turns a quarter of a century!
I am so proud to be married to this man.
Since we fell in love 4 years ago,
he has- and is still becoming so successful.
He has accomplished so much.
He is insanely good at balancing his time.


He works 40 hours a week,
goes to the gym on his lunch break at work,
goes to school tuesday, wednesday and thursday nights,
comes home to study the scriptures,
plays on a softball league on monday nights,
basketball every Saturday...
and still finds time for me.
He is my hero.


So today, its my turn to spoil him rotten.
To start, here are ten things I love and adore about my husband.
1. When he smiles, his eyes squint and he gets these adorable smile lines.
2. He can make me laugh until I cry. (or pee my pants... whichever comes first)
3. You will never hear him complain. About anything!
The most optomistic person you will ever meet.
4. His masculine physique is just about to die for. He is so handsome.
5. He sings all day long. Out loud. He loves to rock out to classic rock.
He has a beautiful singing voice and is a talented guitar player.
6. He will be the best Dad in the whole world. I have known this one
from the very start.
7. He is obsessed with bar soap, loves homeade chocolate chip cookies,
has the BEST skin, and LOVES Diet Coke.
8. He loves to mow the lawn.
9. He can't resist playing with my hair. Ever.
No matter what is going on, if my head is in his hands reach,
he HAS to play with my hair. I think it's an addiction.
10. The love and devotion he has for our Savior. His testimony is so
strong. Also, he makes me feel like the only girl on Earth.

A list of ten things is simply not enough
to explain how much I love him.
But I know he knows. And that's all that matters.

I love you casey!
Happy Birthday!!
Thank you for being my best friend.
For keeping me laughing.
And just so you know,
I still get butterflies when you kiss me.
xoxo. your wife

It's A....

BOY!!!
Maybe I did have a little Mother's Intuituion afterall!
I always thought it was a boy!
We are soooo excited.
Watching our little baby boy was one of the best moments of my life!
He was jumping all over the place and waving to us, I swear.
I am already so in love.
And I love Casey more and more everyday.
This baby thing is a pretty amazing experience.

This is a happy day!

Apple Baby

Last night Casey had a dream that our baby had an apple head.
I think it's because I told him that this week
our baby is the size of an apple.
It made me laugh so hard!!

Tomorrow we get to finally find out...
Boy or Girl.
I am sooo excited!!
We will keep you posted!

Most of you by now have heard the news!
We are so happy to tell you that we are having a baby!

It was hard to wait. Patience is a virtue, right?

We feel sooooo blessed.
And can't wait to meet our little one.
I can't stand to wait,
so we are going to find out the sex on FRIDAY!!
So, take the poll!!
We want to know... do you think we are having a
BOY or a GIRL??

And just as a side note...
my sister, sister-in-law, and 3 cousins are ALL having girls!
Don't let that sway your vote...
I'm just sayin'...
