Fam Bam.

Just take a look at these attractive people...

We have fun.

Sometimes we struggle.

But we're mostly just in love. (Going on 2 years!)

Can someone say good genes?

(Yes, the heart is cheesy. We like it. Well, except dad.)

We're so lucky they let us hang out with them.

Love my fam.

Christmas Break

I know it was a month ago..but here are some highlight from our Christmas season!

Paul's holiday work party. This was after the dance portion of the party, which explains why my hair is a little crazy.

We went to a house warming party for some of our friends who recently moved to Dallas. It was so fun and I won a tootsie pop the size of my head! (It was a plastic one filled with normal tootsie pops)

Paul started studying for the CPA exam and grew out a beard.

We went and saw our BYU Cougars play against the Baylor Bears down in Waco. It was a super fun night with my cousin and his family. 

Unfortunately due to an overturned semi, we got stuck on the freeway and it took about twice as long as it should have to get home. Good times.

We headed out to Utah on December 23. Our flight attendant turned out the cabin lights and had everyone push their call buttons so it looked like Christmas lights! I love when flight attendants are creative and fun :)

On Christmas Eve we were helping finish up a present for my dad. It was an awesome and slightly embarrassing music video we all put together for him. Unfortunately that will never be seen by the public as far as I'm aware. But somehow a Batman mask became involved..

Christmas day was filled with lots of family and delicious food. We got some clothes, Maverick's tickets, and a wheat grinder for Christmas (the present I really wanted!) among other fun things. It was a great Christmas, mostly because we got to hang out with family and play all week long!

The boys had a fun week. It was filled with Skylanders on the Wii, Foosball tournaments, and trying to beat each others' records on the new Pop-a-Shot they got for Christmas. I love seeing the boys have a good time together!

We once again got to use our connections back at BYU to see a game with the family. We got hooked up with court side seats! So much fun. It felt great to be back.

Another fun night was going to see the lights up at Temple Square.

Paul doesn't normally wear hats but I thought this one looked quite handsome on him. It was a freezing cold night. It snowed several times while we were there.

Favorite picture. Those of you who know all three of us Matheson sisters know that this picture is basically a description of each of our personalities. 

We went to another BYU basketball game at Energy Solutions Arena and spent some time with Paul's sister and her husband and dog. It was overall a very successful trip!

The trip home was a little more stressful with several delays and over 12 hours of travel that was originally supposed to be closer to 6. We finished two puzzles soon after getting home and are looking for some new great ones! 

Can you guess why this one has been my favorite? :)

i made it.

I made it back from Utah.

60 whole days away from Texas and my hubby. It was rough, to say the least.

There will be another post soon about everything campaign, but here are some of the non-work related events from Utah.

My favorite thing was hanging out with my family. I got to see Will rock his solo in the Primary Program, McKay show his skills on the snare in marching band, and hear about all of Sarah's exciting adventures working as a CNA at an Alzheimer's Home (she has a pretty rough job sometimes.) Sarah and I had some awesome laughs..goodness gracious. Love that girl. Christmas is going to be wonderful.

I got to hang out with old roommates (congrats on the engagement, Holly!) and meet some great new friends. Reconnecting with old co workers and bosses is always fun, especially when you have a lot in common. Hanging out with your best friend since junior high is always great, too. Sleepovers, Cold Stone, long talks, football game, and food make for some great memories.

These fun times definitely made the time go by faster. Here are a few pics. See some more random pictures from Utah here.

BYU Game

 Love this girl. We had some fun times over those 60 long days.

New video boards at BYU are sweet!

After all of the time I spent here last year, it totally felt like coming home.

Love my family.

And the IMG family! These guys are the best..working with them is probably what I miss most about being at BYU. So many fun times. And they are my hook up to being on the field...

Love watching from the field!

 

 On Halloween we had a campaign event that had a theme of boots and jeans..so the logical thing to do was just be a cowgirl for Halloween, right?

 Notice the Romney/Ryan pumpkin. My talented mother carved it.

So this is campaign related but I got to go on the set of 101.5 The Eagle! Love that radio station. Definitely miss the Stubbs Show in Texas.

I had a countdown going to when my plane would arrive in Dallas. 

Heart beat going crazy at this point!

It was a busy 60 days, but I had some great fun. Stay tuned for campaign stories and pictures...

Luv, Lindsay

california part 3

While in California we stayed at a beautiful home that Paul's parents are taking care of. The family that owns the house is on an international assignment so it worked out perfectly since Paul's parents are serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in this area. It's a beautiful home on some beautiful property, as you can see.

Me and my adorable golfer. He went and played at least three times while we were out there and I'm glad he had fun. He looks so great in his golfing gear.

So while the guys had their golfing time, the girls had some fun shopping time at the outlets.

We also had some time to visit the San Diego Temple.

Aren't they cute? Lora, Seth, and I married into such a good-looking family.

After the temple we had some swimming time and a BBQ.

Baby Aaron (as Jayda calls him) is so adorable. And falls asleep so fast.

The next two pictures were taken within 20 seconds of each other.

The original Knights:

We had so much fun with everyone. Almost every night we played cards.

Our favorite games? The Great Dalmuti and Euchre. 

There were some ridiculous games and I have never seen anyone laugh so hard in my entire life. Things get funny when people aren't quite paying attention and cards get dealt a certain way.

I used to hate playing Euchre. It's okay now :)

Look at these next few pictures..

How cute of a dad is he going to be someday?

He's such a good cute baby.

And here's my cute baby..he loves to sleep almost as much as Baby Aaron!

Love this little girly. 

New Fossil wallet - thanks to my sweet mother-in-law!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and we finally had to head back to LAX and fly home. To pass the time in-between our flights we went to Chili's. Have you ever had their blackberry lemonade? It's pretty incredible.

Paul colored a pepper for me:

How cute is he?

He got to meet this UFC guy, Rashad Evans, at the airport and was pretty excited. It only took him 20 minutes to ask for a picture.

Our California trip was absolutely a success. Now we're waiting for real life to start September 12.

Luv, Lindsay and Paul
