Fall= Birthdays and Hockey!

Preston's birthday was a blast. As I said in my previous post, I took him to the Hilton this past weekend for a little "getaway" It was just something fun and different. Before we got to the hotel, we drove around in the avenues and ended up in SL cemetery. As some of you may know... I have such an interest in cemetery's. I don't know what it is, but I love them! They're so interesting... seeing how old some of the graves are and especially up at the SL cemetery, there are TONS of prophets and apostles. Guess whose we came across? The Hinckleys... Wow! Super cool to see it. I was so excited to see President Hinckley's grave next to his sweet little wife! We saw like 5 other of the prophets and quite a few of apostles from back in the day.

Some pictures of Preston's birthday at both of our parents!
It's Preston's mom's birthday 2 days before Prestons so we got to celebrate with mom also!
A typical Sunday afternoon at my parents. Toys everywhere, football on, crazy people and of course.. being lazy!
Cute mom and dad Rhoades!
I wuv him!

She stole his phone AND the remote.. no wonder she likes him!

Huh?!

Alright, something I'm pretty proud of! I made my first official sewing project. This cute little dress for my cute little niece. It looks adorable on her! My mother in law is awesome at sewing and can literally make anything that involves fabric! She was my teacher... she's a great one!

Ta Da!

Most of you will know that Hockey is a BIG thing in the Vielstich family. BIG! I was born into Hockey and married into Football so I really like both sports and lots of you might thing I'm more of a football fan because I'm married to one a football player and because it's on all the time in our household unless I can catch the Hockey game that is on TV. We LOVE hockey! My brother has been playing for like 7 or 8 years now? I'm not sure. But now he's playing highschool Hockey... for the Colts. He is pretty dang good out on the ice and to make it even more cooler, his number is 99... our mini Gretsky!
Go VIELSTICH!
He's down on the end.
Faceoff champ!

Until next time...!

Happy Birthday to my LOVER!

On Thursday was my amazing hubby's birthday! I just wanted to give a little shout out to him! We had a nice night together on his birthday. I made him steak and baked potatoes (his favorite) and we had ice cream cake! I gave him a couple things he wanted out of Eastbay (a magazine with sports stuff) and a little certificate that entitled him to one night at the schwanky 4 star Hilton downtown with a dinner of his choice! We're doing that tonight into tomorrow. It'll be really fun and relaxing. He's quite excited for it. Last weekend we did his birthday and his mom's birthday by going to dinner and hanging out with his fam! (Prestons mom's birthday is on the 6th and Preston's is on the 8th) It was a lot of fun with his family. This Sunday we're celebrating it with my family and I know that will be fun. There is never a dull moment with my family. What a lucky guy... a full week of birthday celebrations! He deserves it though!

I love my lover boy! He works so hard for us and our future. He has been working full time while doing school full time while squeezing hours of homework in there. It gets hard not seeing him very much but I know he's doing it for us and our future and he does great at it. He gets awesome grades and has such a good attitude and is so motivated every day. He starts his day at 5 by going to the gym and doesn't get home until 9:30 or 10 Mon-Thurs. He's a busy boy! He takes such good care of me and is always willing to help anybody at the drop of a dime. He loves our families, he has such a strong testimony in the church and is such a great example to me! He is so kind and so patient... he rarely gets mad or upset and lets things roll off his back like it was nothing (something I need to be better at) He still has his passion for sports. No matter what sport is on tv... it's playing on our tv. He's playing football again this year (he's played every year since he was 10). Just one more thing to tie up his time. But I love watching him play and he's so good at it! In the middle of this, we've been in the process of applying for Pharmacy schools and next week is his entrance exam test... cross your fingers for him! He's beein studying for that and feels ready for it! I just flat out LOVE him! He's always been such a gentlemen and cracks me up like no other! I'm by far the luckiest wife out there... sorry ladies!


Alright! So much for a little shout out... kind of a big one! haha. I could go on and on about him! But Happy Birthday Preston!
