Happy Anniversary!

Q- What has 1 Vegas Wedding, 2 new homes, 2 new vehicles and 3 beautiful children?
A- The 7 wonderful years Gary and I have been married.


8 years ago this month Gary and I started dating and my mom was chasing him down at the KISN studios (where we both worked) to see what old man was dating her daughter! A few short months later he proposed at Sun Dance (where we had our technically first "real" date). I wanted an April wedding, so we waited 9 months to tie the knot. So almost a year to the date, We decided on a Paris wedding.... that is the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas! Our close family and friends made the journey and a reception was held the following Saturday in Salt Lake for everyone else to join the party!
1 short year later we were pregnant with Shantel, buying our first home and I was starting a new job as a CNA. What a crazy first year! The rest as they say is...history!

Happy Anniversary! I can't wait to see what the next 7 brings us!

Keegan's First Hair Cut



What a big day for us! Keegan got his first hair cut, and what a handsome boy he is. He was trying to grow out his daddy's old mullet but, with better judgement, I decided against that. We took him to daddy's stylist Tonya and trimmed about 1/4-1/2 inch off the neck and shaped up around the ears. It is still pretty long, but is now shaped and handsome. Oh.. Give the kid a sucker and he will sit still for hours!

How Much???

As many of you know Gary has been watching what he eats and losing a "LITTLE" weight. Many of you have asked "how much" so here are the totals: Since the weekend after Thanksgiving he has lost a total of approx. 57 pounds. That's right 57. I am sad to say I have found about 4 of that ;) so here is a picture of the new and slender Gary Michaels!
