Chillin at the cabin in Bear Lake! the cabin next to ours

was having a family reunion and there were like 200 people

there, it was crazy. We couldn't help but watch, and they were

kinda taking over our yard, so we just relaxed and hung out on

the patio. We had so much fun!

I haven't posted in a while, but Austin and I have been having a great summer. Austin had the 4th of July off for the first time since I met him 5 years ago, so we got to enjoy the day at the parade, Cherry Days, we went to a movie with some friends and then a BBQ at the Greenwell's. I love the 4th of July, it's one of my favorite holidays. It was very fun and the Fryer's were in town. We spent a lot of time with them. We went to Bear Lake at the end of July with my family and it was a blast! Then my brother Scotty graduated from the police academy at Weber State University last week, it was really fun to be able to go support him and see him graduate. We're really proud of him. Only 2 semesters left and Austin will graduate. Can't wait!!! Sorry that's just a quick recap of the summer. We're looking forward to the fall and our cruise in December.

Celebrating some of the March/April Birthdays. We have lots

Wow it's been a long time since I posted anything. Where to begin. Spring has been good for us at the Hoffmann Home. Just working, school, and a little playing in between. Austin only has a few more semesters left of school HALLELUJAH! then maybe we can have a baby haha We had a fun Easter with the fam, celebrated several Birthdays, went to Cancun, and Austin and I recently celebrated our 3rd Anniversary. I can't believe how quickly the time goes. I can remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. We're still loving every minute of it and looking forward to many more years together. Hope you are all doing well, sorry it's so brief I'm more of a picture person then a words person :)

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my Dad's 58th Birthday. He is such an awesome guy. He is very hardworking, athletic, and fun to be around. He loves to golf, snowmobile, sleep, garden and secretly he likes to shop ;) especially around Christmas time. He loves the New York Yankees and the Greenbay Packers! OH YA! He loves his kids even though they like to tease him and tickle him since his stroke a few years back. We all try to make him laugh, because when he does he can't stop. It's hilarious. He makes a mean roast and bakes the best chocolate cake you will ever eat! He loves his Grandkids and spending time with them. (even though he doesn't like when toys are out :))We LOVE you Vern Dogger. Happy Happy Birthday!!

Cancun Baby

In a few months this is where I'll be chilling for a solid week!

Our amazing Grandparents.

It's official... It's REALLY happening. We've been talking about going on a big vacation with my mom's side of the family for such a long time, years in fact. It's finally happening, my Grandparents are taking us all to Cancun this spring. Yes! you are correct if you're thinking we've got the greatest Grandparents in the world. This is not the only reason they are the greatest though, they are the kindest, most loving, giving, happiest couple I know and they are such a wonderful example to our family. We love and appreciate them so much!!!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Ballif! We can't wait to spend an entire week hanging out with the fam in Mexico.
