December 2012!!

December Started off will a fun Ward Christmas Party!

Obviously it was an ugly sweater party and Brad and I won for having the ugliest!

 We were able to make a quick trip home to Coeur D'Alene! 

We were able to see our favorite team play at the Kennel! Thank you to Don for letting us have a night out with his season tickets!!

 The rest of trip was very relaxing! Brad had a lot of bonding time with his nieces! 

They watched episodes of Mickey Mouse Play House! 

A trip home wouldn't be complete without going to Noodle Express and getting some Chicken Osaka! 

Ah! It makes me so hungry just looking at it! 

We then drove down to Utah to spend Christmas with my Brothers! 

On our way down we stopped in Ogden to see Great Grandma Mayer! She was so excited to see us! It was so fun vising with her! She is so sweet and has a heart of Gold! 

The next morning was Sunday and was Zoey's Baby blessing! We were so glad we could be there! She is such a precious little girl! We love you Zoey! 

 Spending time in Utah means playing with these two all day long! 

They are so fun!

 They love to play together! 

 Back home in Spokane it used to be a tradition to go to the Madsen home and have a Christmas doughnut party.  They have now moved down to Utah so when we are in Utah for the Holidays we make a special trip and enjoy some delicious doughnuts! The Madsen's are dear friends of ours and it is so fun the see Kaylie and Mackenzie! We catch up on old times! Love them!

We were definitely spoiled this Christmas!

 Brad got a GoPro Camera that was put to good use this ski season! 

We gave Kenny a Zag flag to be put up on game days! 

This little girl melted our heart with her pictures with Santa! 

Quinn you are so sweet! 

 We also made a special trip up to the Salt Lake temple with my parents! It was such a great experience to be there and to see that beautiful temple!

On our way back we were able to stop in Logan Utah to see Brad's Sister, Megan and her family!

Hours were spent playing cars and dinosaurs with Brexton! 

 And playing dolls and make up with Maci! 

Megan and Bart made the best food for us while we were there! This was our delicious New Years Treats! 

Fondu and Eggnog Punch! 

 We were sad to leave the next morning! But loved the time we all got to share! 

This Christmas season we were lucky to be able to spend it with all of our family members! We had a wonderful Holiday Season and are so grateful that we can celebrate the birth of our Savior year after year!! Can't believe Christmas is only like 6 months away! Time flies so fast!!

November 2012!!!

November 2013 was filled with a lot of fun!

Here in Rexburg, we are blessed to have Brad's cousins Jake and Emily up here with us! We had a date night and went bowling at Fat Cats!

It was a lot of FUN!

The Month of November brings a lot of memories to me! 2 years ago November Brad took me on our very first date! Back on November 19, 2010 we went to dinner at Johnny Corino's and went to the movie MegaMind in 3D! So much fun!

Happy Birthday to me!

Since my Birthday was on a Tuesday this year, we celebrated a couple days before at Red Robin! It has always been our family tradition to go there for our Birthday Dinner! Good thing Brad loves Red Robin to keep the tradition alive!!

On the day of my Birthday I was so spoiled! At work my Co-Worker Rachel brought me delicious cupcakes and Jessica brought me a Brownie! April pictured below gave me a nice long neck massage! I love the people I work with!

 After work I came home to a clean house, roses, a new gym bag, and Brad took me out to get a frozen hot chocolate! One of my Favorites!!

We then picked up Brad's Brother Brian at the school and drove the evening home to Coeur D' Alene.

When we got to the Duffy's, my sister in-law, Nicole had made me this yummy cake! They sang to me and we had a good night!

My in-laws are so good to me!!

The next morning we drove over to Spokane to meet up with my parents and Grandma Carma! It was so fun to get together and visit! I love and miss them so much!

 Grandma is always so good to me! She found these awesome boots that made me survive the cold winter here in Rexburg! I love you Grandma!!

 We started a new tradition with my parents and went to Red Lobster for dinner!

 We all got so full!

This Dessert was divine! 

We headed back to my parents house for the evening and I was able to see my neighbor Courtney!

I love her so much! We always celebrated our birthdays together, so it was especially fun to see her!

The next morning was Thanksgiving!

These were my decorations that we got to enjoy during the month!

Thanks to my mom for her creative skills!

 It was my first Thanksgiving Dinner with my Duffy Family! It was fun to see new traditions and be apart of them!

In the morning, Brad and I helped the Annie and Shae with their apple turkeys!

They had so much fun!!

And Annie was so proud of her turkey!

 After hours of Heather working in the kitchen, it was time to eat! Heather had the dinner table set so nice and the dinner was so tasty! My favorite was the STUFFING!!

I love Thanksgiving because it always gives us time to reflect on the things that matter most!

I love this Bradley Boy of mine! He is too good to me!  

I am also so grateful for my in-laws and for the love they show us!

The next couple of days were spent Schweitzer mountain. Brad's parents have a cabin up there and it was a beautiful winter wonderland up there!

Brad and I got up one morning and went snow shoeing around the mountain.

Hours were spent sledding!!

 And in the evening we spent most of the time in the hot tub!

Another special blessing was born on November 26, 2012.

Grayson Posey!

My neighbor growing up, Kim (Bray) Posey had this beautiful son! My Mom was able to make a trip down to Texas and help Kim and the family out! I can't wait to meet this boy someday soon!



Well that is basically all that happened in the Month of November!

Life is good!

Love,

The Duffy's

October 2012

October 2012 was a great month for us!

The Month started out with General Conference!

One of our Good Friends Marquee had us up at a Cabin over the weekend! It was so Fun!

These were the beautiful Fall colors we woke up to!

During the Priesthood session of Conference, the girls stayed home and went shooting!

Marquee shows off her mad skills!  

 All the girls were on fire!!

We also went 4-wheeling and dirt biking! (Not Pictured)

We had such a fun time! We hope to go again this summer!!

Our sweet niece Zoey was born on October 14!!

Proud Daddy's!

And Proud Parents!

 Before she went home! 

She is our newest Zag Fan!  

Last Fall Semester I did my internship at the Student Health Center here at BYU-Idaho. I was the Public Health Coordinator with Rachel and we had a blast!

We ran a TB program and had over 4,000 patient contacts!

We also organized five Flu and Tdap Clinics on Campus!

This was One of our clinics we did in October! It was very successful!



We went down to Utah for a little family gathering!

Brad met Quinn for the First time!!

We also met baby Zoey!

We love her so much!!

I am one Proud Auntie!!!

This trip was also Quinn's Baby Blessing!

She is such a sweet girl!

(Thanks Kensie and Jer for letting us be a part of her big day!)

Great Grandma Mayer and Grandma Jacobson got to come up too!

It was such a fun visit to have everyone together!

Lastly, you can't have October without Halloween!

I made this wreath to get us in the mood!!

 Luckily here in Rexburg they get into the Halloween Spirit!

We went to a Haunted Straw Maze with Friends from the Ward!

 My Co-worker Rachel hosted a Halloween Party!

We were Bob the Builder and Wendy! Brad was excited that I wore his tools!

And on Halloween Night we had a Ward Party!

We put our costumes to good use this year!!

More to come soon!

Love,

The Duffy's
