3 Years going on Eternity

I am a little slow at getting this posted but Lance and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on the 3rd of December. Our Golden Anniversary! We had a great time. We went to dinner at Olive Garden and then we went and saw the lights at temple square. It is amazing how fast time has gone by. We both have loved every minute of being married and it has only gotten better. Here is a picture from our special day. It snowed early the morning of our wedding so we had a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground. It didn't snow again until that night. We were lucky to get some pictures outside the temple, no snow, just freezing! :)

And Lance got me these awesome flowers for our anniversary. I love them and they are still beautiful. Lance is such an amazing husband. He knows exactly how to make me happy and takes such good care of me. He always is putting my needs first. I have been so blessed to be married to him! Our relationship will continue to be wonderful because we will never stop working on it.

Also we put up all of our Christmas decorations on Tuesday. We love getting our Christmas stuff out because so much of that reminds us of our wedding. My mom had the great idea to have everyone that came to our wedding lunch bring an ornament to help us decorate our first Christmas tree. Every time we pull out our Christmas tree it is like a walk back to our wedding day. We love remembering all the ornaments we got and why those people gave them to us. Christmas is such a great time and we have so much to be grateful for during the holidays! So thanks mom for the great idea and giving us many memories of our wedding for many more years to come. Our wedding was a great success because of all the hard work my mom put into it. She is amazing. Here are some pictures of our awesome tree and decorated house. We hope you all enjoy the Christmas festivities for the next few weeks!

Thanksgiving Happenings

Lance and I had an awesome thanksgiving this year. We spent almost the whole week in San Diego California with Lance's family. Not only was the weather beautiful, we also had a great time spending time with family. We were able to take a long walk on the beach, see some of the sites around San Diego, and eat some awesome food.
Here is our Thanksgiving dinner table. It looked awesome, too bad I didn't get any pictures of us eating. Lances sister Brenda, and his mom did a great job making the food and we enjoyed all of it!

Here are some pictures of us hanging out in San Diego, yes I know, I am getting very pregnant, we are almost under 100 days!! This is Lance and I with Lance's brother-in-law Luke and his sister Marie. We went to Tori Pines and watched some hang gliders chillin by the beach.


We had a great time hanging out with his family. Thanks goes to his family as well because we came home with all of this.....

It was so awesome of them to get us so much stuff. We are really excited about all of it. Now our baby collection of stuff has grown to this.....

I know kind of a mess. Looks like we need to start getting the room ready and get things put away. Hopefully we will get the room painted next weekend and then we can get things really put away! Thanks again to Marie, Lisa, Brenda, Luke, and Lance's mom, we love everything! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Rivalry Week!

Who couldn't like a friendly rivalry game?!? Lance has for the most part changed his fence sitting ways and has finally started to bleed blue as well. Due to the fact that he still does like the University of Utah (he only graduated from there!!), this movie does also include highlights of Utah's victories as well. We can't wait for the game, it should be a good one! Go Cougars!

Happy Halloween

We are a little late at getting this posted but we hope you all enjoyed your halloween festivities as much as we did. We had fun carving pumpkins, playing games, eating delicious food, and of course handing out candy to all the little trick-or-treaters. And yes, we dressed Baylee up as a ladybug. She amazingly enough liked her costume and didn't try to take it off all night. Anyway, here are few pictures of our Halloween.
Here is our pumpkin, it was a way cool bat and looks better and night but I didn't get a picture of it at night. And Baylee bit the ears off the bat when we brought it home, so it looked a lot better before that happened. :) So you can all just imagine that picture while looking at this one!

Baylee doesn't like to hold still for pictures so this was the best we could get.


Now it is full on Christmas, what happened to Thanksgiving?? It seems all stores have all Christmas and yes a couple radio stations are already playing all Christmas music, all the time. Crazy! We are excited for the holidays though! Christmas is one of the best times of year!

This Just In

Baby Drollinger is officially a BOY! That's right, a boy! We are so excited!! It seems that according to my poll that many of you thought we were going to have a girl, but it looks like we will buying footballs instead of dolls. It was so amazing to see all these images of our baby. We are both so glad we have modern technology and we were able to see every detail of our baby. He is so healthy and everything looks great. They moved my due date up by 1 day (wahoo!) so that puts us now due on St. Patrick's Day! That could be fun. It is amazing how fast time has gone by. We are already half way there! Hopefully the next 4 months will go by quickly. We can't wait to bring our little one home! If anyone has good ideas for boy names, let us know. We haven't found something we like yet. Its a boy! Here are some pictures of the little one, enjoy!
This is a profile shot of the baby.

Here is one of his hands. He is waving to all of you. :)

This is the babys foot. So small and cute!

And the part you have all been waiting for......yes, still a boy!

New Windows

On Saturday Lance and I had new windows put in our house. We absolutely love them. Before we got new windows, we had old aluminum windows, half of them had condensation in the glass so we couldn't see through them, and the other half had tears in the screens. So needless to say, we really needed new windows. We got some nice vinyl windows and a pretty sweet hook up from my work. It is going to be so nice to have them for the winter. We can already tell a difference. I didn't get any before pictures ( I know, I should have), but here are some after pictures with the new windows. The pictures don't really do it justice, but hopefully you get the idea!

Let The Voting Begin

Lance and I are hoping to find out if we are having a boy or a girl in 2 weeks. Hopefully they will be able to tell because we are really excited to find out! So share your vote with us and let us know what you think. I don't really have a preference for a boy or a girl. Lance really wants a girl, but we both will be happy with either one. Things have been going great with this whole pregnancy thing. Probably the most depressing part is I just can't fit into any of my clothes anymore. It is an adventure everyday to try and find something that fits still. Looks like I will be wearing a lot of gym shorts and t-shirts for the next 5 months! I have been feeling great though and I am proud to say that I haven't lost my lunch once through this whole thing! :) We will let ya know when we find out what we are having. Until then....happy voting!

Baylee the Dog

Let me tell you about Baylee. She is the strangest dog ever but we absolutely love having her around. She has some funny habits that we can't seem to break so I thought I would share some of them.
Habit #1
She always has to be "up in your grill" Meaning, she loves attention and has to be as close to you as possible. She has no clue what a personal "bubble" is. There are no limits in her book. This is her favorite spot in the kitchen. Right under your feet!
Habit #2
She loves, LOVES, Lance in the mornings. She won't bug him until she knows he is awake but once he is moving around enough or says something, she is after him. She licks his face, ears, and sometimes the mouth. Ya, I get pretty jealous because there is no room for me in the morning. She is doing all she can to push me out of bed so she can have her own time with Lance. The funniest part is she will wrap her paws around his arm and just throw herself on top of him until he gives her loves. So random!


Habit #3
She loves finger nail clippings. Every time we pull out the finger nail clippers, she is following our every move and has to eat up every little piece of finger nail. Gross, I know, but how can we stop her? She loves them!
Habit #4
She loves to chew on things. This however has gotten somewhat better since she is no longer a puppy, but we still have issues with that. This is how the most recent chewing episode went. Lance and I nicely got into bed the other night after a long day. As we are about to turn the light off Baylee jumped up on the bed and we heard a small crunching noise. We both think oh great, what now? Lance said that sounds a lot like my glasses! And yes my friends, she was chewing on Lances glasses. She basically destroyed them. So thanks to Baylee, we got to spend a lovely chunk of change on new glasses for Lance. Thanks Baylee, you are great! His glasses look really good though so here are some pictures of the new ones.

There are many more habits but I thought I would just highlight the most entertaining ones as of late. She always keeps us laughing. We are only hoping she won't be too jealous of the new addition! That could get interesting! :) If you notice in the pictures, Baylee got her hair cut the other day. She looks so cute! We love it! So here is to Baylee the dog, thanks for making our lives more interesting!

We thought you should know....

...that come March 18th (ish) there is going to be a lot more of these things hanging around our house.





Yep, the rumors are true, I am pregnant. I am 14 weeks along. We are so excited and can't wait for March!! Lance is hoping for a St. Patricks day baby, but we will have to see what happens. We will keep you updated as much as we can.

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

So I thought I would post about a typical Saturday for our family during college football season. As some of you may know, my family are HUGE BYU fans. Here is how a typical Saturday would go.
We always have food, either lunch or dinner depending on the time of the game, but you can always count on there being a ton of good food. Oh and we are always at my parents due to the fact that they are the only one in my family with the Mountain channel.

Sometimes we have a birthday party while we are all together. This last saturday was Thomas' birthday. He turned 3, so we got to celebrate that.

Then we have the game, and yes it is a very exciting time!!

As you can see on the following movie, my parents have made a pretty nice set up for us. We set the projector up and put it up on the wall. We all are crammed in their basement, and it is a great time! Everyone gets into the game, I decided to catch the last few minutes of the game on my camera. It is pretty fun to watch. We mean serious business when it comes to football! :)

Anyway, needless to say, we have a really great time when we all get together! We love football season, and are glad it is finally starting up again! We were also able to go to the University of Utah game last night too. And no, I am not a fan of the U, but Lance did graduate from there, and he is what we like to call a fence sitter. So to keep him happy, I attended the game with him and my younger sister Jenny and her husband Trevor. It was fun, we had a good time there. As you can see from the picture, we had really awesome seats! :) We wish!!

Happy Football season to all of you!!!

Where are you Lance?

So it has been a long week without my man Lance. He was out doing training in Georgia for his job. It is going to be so nice to have him finally come home tonight! It was interesting to try and find ways to entertain myself while he was gone! I guess I didn't realize how much of my entertainment he is! :) So what do you guys do to entertain yourselves while your significant others are gone? I found myself cleaning the house, getting a pedicure, and watching chick flicks. Very productive use of my time huh? Anyway, needless to say I am excited for him to come home tonight!! Yeah!

Birthday Girl!

Happy Birthday to ME! I know, I am lame for posting about my birthday, but I love it! I have been completely spoiled this whole week and it has been so fun! On Monday we had a party with my family up at Muller Park. We made some awesome dutch oven which consisted of BBQ Sandwiches, Potatoes, and of course Cobbler for desert. We had a great time spending time with family there. On Tuesday, we went to dinner with Lance's sister Marie. She was in town from California. It was so fun to spend time with her and her dad. Yesterday was my birthday! I got a ton of gifts from Lance, he definitely went all out to spoil me. He is such a good shopper too, I love anything he buys me! We went to dinner last night at Tepanyaki. I love that place, it is so good! We ended up seeing Lance's boss just after we got sat, so they moved us to sit with him. It was nice to chat with him and his family and the best part of all....he bought our dinner! I seriously don't have a problem with getting free dinner on my birthday! We went and got ice cream after dinner because technically I am a Bradley and all Bradley's are obsessed with ice cream and what better time to eat ice cream than on your birhtday!?! It was a lot of fun. Too bad I can't seem to remember my camera to any of these places we go to. So, sorry about the no picture post. We are going to go camping tomorrow with my family so hopefully I will remember my camera then and I can post some pictures of that adventure. Thanks everyone (especially Lance, he is the best husband ever!!), I had a great birthday and I can't wait for next year! Can you believe I am 23! Wow! Time sure does fly by!

OLyMpiC FeVEr

I don't know about you guys, but we are super excited for the Olympics to start tonight! After watching several of the Olympic trials over the last year, we can't wait to see who will walk away with the gold medals. I love hearing all the inspiring stories about athletes that overcame whatever challenges to be who they are today.(Even though most of them are really cheesy! We know!) I can't even pick a favorite event because they are all so awesome. It is two weeks the I definitely wish I could find any excuse to take off work so I can sit home and watch the Olympics all day long! Wouldn't that be nice!?! Anyway, everyone watch the Olympics the next two weeks, they are the best!

Pioneer Day Pictures

Last night Bountiful had their usual Pioneer Day celebration. We went to the parade down main street. It was super hot, but we had a lot of fun. We headed up to see the fireworks at Muller Park Jr. High after the parade. The firework show they do there is pretty much the best firework show we see all year. We all look forward to this show every year. We have found the best spot ever, and there is nothing better than hearing the fireworks echo up and down the canyon. I tried to capture the show on video, which turned out pretty good, but it definitely doesn't do it justice. We had a great time! Today I am enjoying my wonderful day off work. :) For all of those who live in Utah, we hope you enjoy your Pioneer Day festivities.  Oh ya, my nephew Thomas who is pretty much the cutest kid ever got this kazoo at the parade and played it for the rest of the night. I had to get a video of it, he is so fun! 

Real Salt Lake

This last Saturday Lance and I went to the Real Salt Lake game. We love watching soccer games! They won 2-0 so that was way awesome! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but I did have my awesome cell phone camera that takes really amazingly clear pictures as you can see below! :) Oh well, at least it is better than nothing! Anyway, we had a good time, and can't wait for the new stadium to open up in Sandy! It is going to be a pretty sweet place!

DinoTri Pictures

DinoTri

Lance and I decided to do a triathlon this year. We did the DinoTri in Vernal, Utah with my sister Jenny and her husband Trevor, and also Lances best friend Bryce. We also brought my sister Natalie along to be our photographer! We had a great time. We stayed the night in Vernal and were up at 5:00 on Saturday morning to catch the bus to take us to Red Fleet Reservoir. We did our 1/2 mile swim in the reservoir. The water temperature was about 70 degrees, not too cold, it was pretty perfect actually. The swim for me was the hardest part. I barely learned how to swim the right way in April when we started training, so I still wasn't that great at it. My great husband Lance kept by me for the swim to help me along the way. It was really hard to keep going through the water. It doesn't sound far, but believe me, in the water, it is SUPER far! After the swim we were off for the 12 mile bike. Of course our legs were half way jello at that moment, and the first 2 miles of the bike ride were all up hill! :) Lance got ahead of me on the hills but I ended up catching him at the end of the bike ride. After the ride, we ran a 5k (3.2 miles). Lance and I ran all of that together and crossed the finish line hand in hand (aahhh cute, I know, Lance is awesome) My sister Jenny took 1st place, and I took 3rd place in our age division. I hate to admit that I got third because there was only 3 people in our age division that ran in the triathlon, but hey I got third all the same! :) Lance did way awesome and I seriously wouldn't have made it through this without his encouragement. It sounds so easy when you sign up to do it, but you just don't expect how hard it is actually going to be. I am glad we did this one for our start, now we know more of what to expect in the next ones! We finished with a time of 2 hours and 2 minutes. They haven't posted the overall results yet, but we will let ya know how we did overall when they post it. We had a great time! Enjoy the pictures, sorry there is so many, it is hard to decide which ones to use!
