Cooper's 3 Years Old!

Really weird how fast time flies by! Danny's brother Adam and his wife Nicole threw an adorable MONKEY themed birthday for Cooper's 3rd birthday party. If you can't tell by the pictures Danny and I (that really means I thought of, bought the present and wrapped it: apparently that’s my job) bought Cooper a $5 pack of two dinosaurs. He absolutely loved it and wouldn't put them down to open up the next few presents. I can't believe Nicole either. She is around 28 weeks prego with twins and she still made the best MONKEY cake I have ever seen along with chocolate/banana smoothies and mini banana splits. She really is super mom! I hope I do even half as well as her at being a mom. Here are some pics:

 

Crazyness, Birthdays and Fun!

So I decided that no matter how hard I try to get LIFE to do what I want IT DOESN’T happen the way I plan!

I will start off with something I experienced that I hope no one ever gets to see. Last Tuesday, February 16, 2010 I found one of the residents at the apartment community I work at deceased in their apartment. It was not a pretty sight and the way it all happened would make anyone, including me, angry and break your heart all at the same time. Of course everything was taken care of by the police but now I am working on getting the image out of my head. I still can’t go to sleep in my bed alone or close my eyes for very long without seeing their image. If anyone has any suggestions that would be fabulous!

Next on the agenda: Moving in with the In-Laws (This Weekend). As a lot of you already know Danny started working for a new company last June and now has the opportunity to go full commission on his pay checks. This could mean really great pay checks in the future but for now it means moving in with his parents. They are very kind to help us out right now and we definitely appreciate all they do for us.

Also, Danny’s 27th birthday was on Sunday, February 21st so we celebrated with a few of our friends at Bonsai for dinner and then bowling.

Then on Monday the 22th we were invited by Nick and Ali to go to the Jazz vs. Hawks game! We had a blast. Thanks you two. You are great friends and we love you!

Year Full of Fun & Excitement!!!

Last year Danny and I wrote down a BUCKET LIST of about 20 things we wanted to do together last year.  Whenever we couldn't think of something to do we would pull out our list.  This is definately something we will continue to do because of how much fun we had and the success we had fullfiling most of our 2009 BUCKET LIST.  Some of the list was WISHFUL THINKING and other things were very PRACTICAL.

Snow Time!!!

Danny and I have been so blessed and lucky so far in our life together.  We have done so much and traveled all over.  This last month Danny and I finally attended our first Jazz game together and we went snowmobiling with his work for a couples sales semminar weekend.  Kevin and Andee joined us because Kevin works with Danny.  Fabulous January 2010!!!

Kevin got his machine stuck! Of Course ;)

Gorgoza Park

Danny was very sweet on Sunday and missed some NFL footall games to spend some quality time together tubing at Gorgoza Park in Park City.  The park is a snow tubing run and we had a blast.  I would definately recommend going!

You just hook your tube up and it pulls you up the hill. Best invention ever!

A New Year and a New Hobby!

I have finally figured out how to blog.  I want to try and remember all that has happened so far in the life of Danny and Sara Ihler from the begining and keep track of it all here.  Today is the begining of a new year and I am hoping life only gets better.  Danny and I have so many goals in life that we are hoping to achieve this year.  I am currently working for Riverstone Residential, a property management company in Salt Lake and am hoping for a promotion early this year (FINGERS CROSSED).  Danny is working for VLCM, an IT company as an outside sales rep, and absolutely loves it.  He has finally found his dream job (get paid to golf with clients in the summer).  We brought in the new year last night with all our friends at Ryan and Heather Tanners home.  I played rockband on xbox 360 for my first time and had a blast.  We ended the night going to the tow yard in Provo to retrieve Kyle and Amy's car after being towed away (NOT THE BEST NEWS YOU CAN GET FOR NEW YEARS).  We are so lucky to have such great friends!  We love you all soooooo much!!!
