Lots of Trials and different Trails

I know that I have been horrible with the posting lately, and thankfully now my sister Darcie lives in Utah. However, I still don't see her that much and with school started and work and everything else, the least I can do is post, as well as let my sister-in-law Erica know what is going on with our family and in Utah.
As many have heard my father and father-in-law passed away with in a time of 5 days. It was a complete surprise to get the news that my dad had passed away the day after my father-in-law's funeral. I had told my dad the day before that he couldn't die any time soon and maybe he took it as a joke, but passed away the next day. I just want to express my love of my dad Reed and my father-in-law Chad. I couldn't have asked for two better men to be in my lives and show the care and love they did.
I just wanted to post some pictures that my dad and dad 2 will be remembered for. I love you both and you will be with me forever. 

Mom and dad again at Easter, but this is one of my favorites of both of them.

Now look at this picture and then go to the next. It is the best. It shows the true relationship that my parents had, and I hope that Tyson and I can be like this in the future.

I know it is just to darn cute! MWH!

Chad looking so cool on Tim McCreevy's Bike! This is one huge thing my father and him had in common, the love of bikes. Just Cruzin!

He was so excited to rev the engine! Jaydene and I were behind taking as many pictures and video's as possible! It was our miracle day!

So happy to get his ride! It was great to see him drive in with his hands and arms in the air. 

 My dad and I at my wedding! Probably the best day of my life! He was there, and so was Chad. I wanted him so badly for him to be there. It was my deal that he couldn't die until I got married(which I thought would be forever.), then I changed it to graduate and have kids. He almost made it to my graduation, which is this December.

 My daddy/daughter dance that I wanted so badly and I was able to have. He looks so handsome and happy in this picture. He told me so much during this one dance. The song was "I run to you" it is mine and Tyson's song, but I will always run to my dad for answers from the heavens.

Picture that Chad always told me and Jaydene about that he remembered. I will always remember it as well! Love you! And I love this picture!

 You can tell that Ty had been crying! But I love the genuine love and care in this picture. Chad loved his kids so much.

My dad's obituary photo! He has such a great smile and was so happy that day. Dad I love you and Chad I love you. You will both be missed very much. Keep sending us blessings from above and watch over us. 

Dad you better keep your promise to be at my graduation! Wink Wink

Good times of the Honeymoon!

It is almost Tyson and mine 1 year anniversary.  I thought that maybe I should get some of our honeymoon pictures up here.  I am always telling everyone how much fun it was and how gorgeous St. George is, well now it is my chance to show everyone.  Our honeymoon is definitely be able to tell our kids, friends and family about and get a laugh.  First of all our bridal suite was awesome, although every time we used the shower it seemed to smell of sewage, GROSS.  Oh... and I can't forget about the time we got to the top of angels landing and it started a down poor.  Tyson was just a little freaked out.  But all in all, it was a very amazing and fun time to spend with my husband.

This picture was taken at Cove Fort! This place is absolutely amazing, I loved it. I also received my first prairie diamond, the story behind it is so fun and just so cute.

We were able to do a temple session at the St. George Temple. This was my first temple session other than my endowments. I was so nervous and we were asked to be the main couple. It was a really phenomenal experience for the both of us.  

We were able to go and visit and learn about many church history sites. It was very fascinating to me to learn about our past ancestors. Here are more of our church history pictures.

Yes I know what you are thinking "Silly Natalie" but it was fun!

We were able to see the Grand Canyon, Zions National Park in which we hiked many trails that were amazing, we were able to play at caves and in sanddunes and just had a blast being together. Here are some of the gorgeous views that we encountered. 

This was so awesome. I am pointing to an owl that is on the branch.

This was at the mid and top of angels landing. It was a crazy and insane hike, but definitely worth the site. 

Smile big Tyson you made it down safely. Whahoo.  These pools were so green and gorgeous, it was the top of the emerald pools

 

Sorry for the short shorts everyone, we were going to hike the narrows and I didn't want to ruin my underclothing by going and hiking through the water and rivers.  Sadly we weren't able to complete the whole narrows due to flash flood warnings.

It was so much fun to be able to go to Tuacon and watch the play Annie.  It was a little breazy, but we made it fun.  We were able to act like frogs and play with cactus's what more could you ask for.
